[0002] Water is an essential energy source in people's daily lives, and sufficient water intake is required to maintain normal bodily functions. This is especially true for special groups, such as patients with heart failure who need to strictly limit their daily fluid intake (usually 1500-2000ml). Therefore, the amount of water consumed daily generally needs to be controlled. With the development of technology, more and more smart water cups are being produced and applied, which can autonomously monitor daily water intake. For example, a water cup with water intake monitoring function disclosed on the China Patent Network (publication announcement number CN211269808U) monitors daily water intake by embedding a water intake monitoring module and a data transmission module in the cup body.
[0003] However, the aforementioned disclosed patents and existing smart water cups on the market still have some shortcomings: While existing methods that use a water volume monitoring module inside the cup can monitor the water volume in real time, their monitoring is limited and cannot measure spills or overflows, leading to measurement errors. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a smart water cup that can monitor water volume to solve the problems mentioned in the background. Utility Model Content

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example
[0027] Please see Figure 1-8This utility model provides a smart water cup technology solution for monitoring drinking volume: A smart water cup for monitoring drinking volume includes a cup body 1, a cup lid 4 located at the mouth of the cup body 1, a spout assembly 6 inside the cup lid 4, the spout assembly 6 including a protective shell 61, an interactive control module 62 located on one side of the cavity of the protective shell 61, and a spout 63 located on the other side of the cavity of the protective shell 61. A straw 64 extending into the interior of the cup body 1 is located at the bottom of the spout 63, and a Hall effect flow meter 67 connected to the interactive control module 62 is located between the spout 63 and the straw 64. By setting the Hall effect flow meter 67 between the spout 63 and the straw 64, when the user drinks water, the Hall effect flow meter 67 detects the amount of water flowing out of the straw 64 to accurately monitor the user's drinking volume, reducing the misjudgment caused by external operations (such as spillage, washing, pouring water, etc.), and making its drinking volume measurement and monitoring more accurate. Specifically:
[0028] Please see Figure 5-8 As a further embodiment of this invention, the interactive control module 62 has a built-in low-power microcontroller (such as ESP32) to calculate the cumulative water consumption in real time, and can be connected to a mobile APP or hospital system via Wi-Fi / Bluetooth module. The interactive control module 62 is equipped with an interactive interface, which can be operated by touch in the form of an OLED touch screen to display the real-time water volume, remaining quota and time.
[0029] Furthermore, the protective shell 61 has a multi-source interface 65 on one side of the shell that is connected to the interactive control module 62. The multi-source interface 65 includes Type-C, USB, and PS / 2 interfaces. By setting its multi-source interface 65 as a combination of Type-C, USB, and PS / 2, it not only has multi-source compatible charging performance, but also multi-source compatible information transmission capability.
[0030] Furthermore, on the other side of the protective shell 61, there is an alarm 66 connected to the interactive control module 62. The alarm elements of the alarm 66 include a breathing light, a buzzer, and a vibration motor. By setting the alarm 66 as a combination of a breathing light, a buzzer, and a vibration motor, its triggering logic can be set in stages. After the interactive control module 62 detects the drinking water threshold, it will sound an alarm. The user can turn it off by manually touching the interactive interface.
[0031] In addition, a cover 5 is provided on one side of the cup lid 4. The cover 5 and the cup lid 4 are closed together, so that the cover 5 flips over the cup lid 4 and covers the mouthpiece assembly 6. A fingerprint lock 41 is provided on one side of the cup lid 4, and a latch 51 connected to the fingerprint lock 41 is provided on one side of the cover 5. By setting the combination of fingerprint lock 41 and latch 51 on the cup lid 4 and the cover 5, the safety performance can be improved. In addition, the cover 5 can also provide dustproof and dirtproof protection for the mouthpiece assembly 6. Example
[0032] Please see Figure 1-4 , Figure 9 This embodiment further explains Example 1. The first handle 2 is fixedly mounted on the cup body 1, and the second handle 3 is rotatably connected to the cup body 1, intersecting the first handle 2. The first handle 2 includes two sets of positioning rings 21 fixed on the cup body 1, and a first operating handle 22 is provided on one side of the positioning rings 21. The second handle 3 includes two sets of rotating rings 31 rotatably connected to the cup body 1, intersecting the positioning rings 21, and a second operating handle 32 is provided on one side of the rotating rings 31. By intersecting the first handle 2 and the second handle 3 and making the second handle 3 rotatable, in use, the first handle 2 and the second handle 3 can be overlapped to form an integrated operating mode, or the first handle 2 and the second handle 3 can be unfolded to form a two-handed operating mode, so as to meet the usage needs of people of different ages.
[0033] It should be noted that the inner handle of the first operating handle 22 is fitted with a first magnetic strip 23, and the outer handle of the second operating handle 32 is fitted with a second magnetic strip 33. The first magnetic strip 23 and the second magnetic strip 33 are magnetically attracted to each other. By setting the first magnetic strip 23 and the second magnetic strip 33 that are magnetically attracted to each other at the overlapping ends of the first operating handle 22 and the second operating handle 32, the first handle 2 and the second handle 3 can be aligned and maintain a stable state.
[0034] In addition, the cup body 1 has an external threaded sleeve 7 at its mouth and an internal threaded sleeve 8 at the bottom of the cup lid 4. The cup body 1 and the cup lid 4 are connected by the external threaded sleeve 7 and the internal threaded sleeve 8. By utilizing the thread fit of the external threaded sleeve 7 and the internal threaded sleeve 8, the cup body 1 and the cup lid 4 are connected as one piece. Since the threaded connection between the internal threaded sleeve 8 and the external threaded sleeve 7 does not directly contact the water inside the cup, its sealing and spill prevention performance is better.
[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model are implemented according to conventional methods in the art, unless otherwise specified or limited.
