Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a wine glass, specifically a volume control wine glass. Background Technology

[0002] Drinking alcohol is a common part of daily life, but excessive drinking can harm health. Some people who shouldn't drink excessively have poor self-control, and there are often people pressuring them to drink at the table, leading to overconsumption. One established method to control alcohol consumption is to add markings to the glass to measure the amount consumed. However, this method only allows for single measurements and cannot track total consumption over a period of time, nor can it trigger an alarm to indicate excessive drinking, resulting in poor effectiveness in controlling excessive drinking. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main objective of this application is to provide a volume control glass capable of tracking alcohol consumption over a period of time and limiting excessive drinking. To this end, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0004] A controlled-volume wine glass includes a glass body, a lid, a motor, and a circuit board. The glass body has a control switch on its outer side and a partition at its lower part that separates its interior vertically. A liquid level sensor is mounted on the partition. The lid is rotatably connected to the rim of the glass body and can be flipped downwards to cover the rim. The motor is mounted on the upper outer side of the glass body and drives the lid to rotate. The circuit board is located inside the glass body below the partition and includes a microcontroller, a clock chip, and a memory. The microcontroller is electrically connected to the motor, liquid level sensor, control switch, clock chip, and memory. The liquid level sensor measures the amount of wine consumed each time, the clock chip keeps track of time, the microcontroller collects data on the amount of wine consumed per unit time, and the memory stores the data. The control switch, when pressed, sends a start command to the microcontroller. Upon receiving the start command and when the amount of wine consumed is less than a preset value, the microcontroller starts the motor to open the lid.

[0005] In at least one embodiment, the side wall of the cup body located above the partition is made of a transparent material and is provided with a scale for measuring the volume of the solution inside the cup.

[0006] In at least one embodiment, a rotating plate is fixedly connected to the edge of the cup lid, and side plates are fixedly connected to the side walls of the cup body on both sides of the rotating plate; the base of the motor is fixedly installed on the outside of the cup body, and the rotating shaft of the motor passes through both the rotating plate and the side plates and is fixedly connected to the rotating plate.

[0007] In at least one embodiment, the circuit board is further provided with an alarm electrically connected to the microcontroller; when the microcontroller receives a start command and the alcohol consumption data is not less than a preset value, it triggers the alarm to issue an alarm and does not start the motor.

[0008] In at least one embodiment, a storage battery for power supply is also provided in the cup body below the partition.

[0009] In at least one embodiment, the side wall of the cup body is also provided with a setting button and a display screen, both electrically connected to the microcontroller. The setting button is used to set a preset value for the amount of alcohol consumed per unit time, and the display screen is used to display the measurement value of the liquid level sensor and the alcohol consumption data statistically generated by the microcontroller.

[0010] The controlled-volume wine glass provided in this application can achieve at least the following beneficial effects: By setting a controllable lid and a circuit for counting the amount of alcohol consumed, this application can count the amount of alcohol consumed over a period of time, restrict the lid from opening when the preset amount of alcohol consumed is reached, and can also trigger an alarm. Compared with setting a scale separately, this method can better measure the amount of alcohol consumed and control the drinking. Attached Figure Description

However, it should be understood that the present application may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. These embodiments are provided herein to make the disclosure of the present application more complete and to fully convey the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art.

[0018] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "lateral", "longitudinal", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "upper", "lower", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.

[0019] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the volume control wine glass of this embodiment includes a glass body 100, a lid 200, a motor 300, and a circuit board 400. A control switch 120 is provided on the outer side of the glass body 100, and a partition 110 is provided at the bottom to separate the interior vertically. A liquid level sensor 111 is provided on the partition 110. The lid 200 is rotatably connected to the mouth of the glass body 100 and can be flipped downwards to cover the mouth of the glass body 100. The motor 300 is installed on the upper outer side of the glass body 100 to drive the lid 200 to rotate. The circuit board 400 is located inside the glass body 100 below the partition 110 and includes a microcontroller 410 and a clock chip 400. The microcontroller 410 is electrically connected to the motor 300, the liquid level sensor 111, the control switch 120, the clock chip 420, and the memory 430. The liquid level sensor 111 is used to measure the amount of alcohol consumed each time, the clock chip 420 is used for timing, the microcontroller 410 is used to count the amount of alcohol consumed per unit time, the memory 430 is used to store the amount of alcohol consumed, and the control switch 120 is used to send a start command to the microcontroller 410 when pressed. When the microcontroller 410 receives the start command and the amount of alcohol consumed is less than a preset value, it starts the motor 300 to open the cup lid 200 upwards.

[0020] The side wall of the cup body 100 above the partition 110 is made of transparent material and has graduations for measuring the volume of the solution inside, thus providing another way to measure the amount of alcohol at one time. Since this embodiment includes circuitry and a lid, it is relatively large; therefore, the cup body 100 may be equipped with a handle for ease of holding.

[0021] The lid 200 should be shaped to fit the rim of the cup body 100. Since the cup body 100 is typically cylindrical, the lid 200 should also be disc-shaped. A rotating piece 210 is fixedly connected to the edge of the lid 200, and side plates 130 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the cup body 100 on both sides of the rotating piece 210. The base of the motor 300 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the cup body 100, and the shaft of the motor 300 passes through both the rotating piece 210 and the side plates 130 and is fixedly connected to the rotating piece 210. The motor 300 should preferably be a motor with a braking function to prevent easy opening.

[0022] For the circuit of circuit board 400, the liquid level sensor 111 generally uses a pressure sensor or a capacitive sensor. The pressure sensor measures the internal liquid pressure to determine the volume or weight of the liquid; the capacitive sensor measures the change in the liquid's capacitance to determine the volume or weight of the liquid. In addition, circuit board 400 also includes an alarm 440 electrically connected to microcontroller 410. When microcontroller 410 receives a start command and the alcohol consumption data is not less than a preset value, it triggers alarm 440 to sound an alarm and does not start motor 300. A battery 500 for power supply is also provided inside the cup body 100 below partition 110. The side wall of cup body 100 also has a setting button 140 and a display screen 150, both electrically connected to microcontroller 410. The setting button 140 is used to set the preset value of alcohol consumption per unit time, and the display screen 150 is used to display the measurement value of liquid level sensor 111 and the alcohol consumption data statistically analyzed by microcontroller 410.

[0023] It should be understood that there are no specific models of electronic components such as microcontrollers, clock chips, memory, and alarms. Any electronic component capable of performing its function in this field can be used. Moreover, since these components and their models are conventional technologies, this application will not elaborate on them. Furthermore, the above solution may also include other components and structures, such as charging ports for charging batteries. Since these do not involve the core solution to the technical problem to be solved in this application, they will also be omitted.

[0024] It should also be understood that all the above embodiments are exemplary and not restrictive. Various modifications or variations made by those skilled in the art to the specific embodiments described above under the concept of this application should be within the scope of protection of this application.
