Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of smart bottle cap technology, specifically relating to a detachable smart bottle cap for tracking water samples. Background Technology

[0002] The smart cap works in conjunction with the sampling bottle. After sampling, the sampler writes sampling information, sampling time, and other data to the smart cap. The smart cap's temperature recording function effectively tracks the storage temperature of the water sample. Additionally, if someone attempts to open the cap during water sample transportation, the cap opening and the time of opening are recorded. Once the water sample arrives at the laboratory, receiving personnel can scan the cap to obtain the recorded information and determine the sample's suitability based on pre-defined rules.

[0003] Therefore, smart bottle caps typically contain electronic modules, which are usually sealed inside the cap with adhesive. When a module fails or malfunctions, it cannot be quickly removed for maintenance. Often, the bottle cap is simply scrapped, resulting in wasted costs during use. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a detachable smart bottle cap for water sample tracking, which aims to solve the problem that the smart bottle caps on sampling bottles in the prior art are inconvenient to maintain and result in high maintenance costs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: to provide a detachable smart bottle cap for water sample tracking, comprising:

[0006] Outer cover;

[0007] An inner cover is rotatably disposed inside the outer cover, and a pushing member is slidably disposed inside the inner cover along the axis of the outer cover. The inner cover is used to connect the sampling bottle.

[0008] An electronic compartment is inserted into the top of the outer cover. Multiple elastic plates are provided on the outer side wall of the electronic compartment. A snap-fit ​​protrusion is provided on the outer side wall of the elastic plate. A snap-fit ​​groove is provided on the inner wall of the outer cover to accommodate the snap-fit ​​protrusion. An installation cavity for installing electronic modules is provided on the electronic compartment.

[0009] An extension plate is fixedly installed at one end of the bottom of the elastic plate, and the other end extends towards the axis of the electronic compartment. When the pusher moves upward, it can abut against the extension plate.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the inner wall of the outer cover is provided with a support platform for limiting the movement of the inner cover along the axial direction of the outer cover.

[0011] In one possible implementation, an anti-rotation rib is protruding on the outer wall of the electronic compartment, and an anti-rotation groove is recessed on the inner wall of the outer cover to slide in cooperation with the anti-rotation rib.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the electronic compartment includes:

[0013] The upper cover is slidably disposed inside the outer cover;

[0014] The middle ring is connected to the upper cover and together with the upper cover forms a mounting cavity for installing electronic modules.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the inner cover is rotatably disposed inside the outer cover, and a monitoring component for monitoring the relative position of the inner cover and the outer cover is further disposed between the outer cover and the inner cover.

[0016] In one possible implementation, a first limiting rib protrudes from the inner wall of the outer cover, and a second limiting rib protrudes from the outer wall of the inner cover for abutting against the first limiting rib.

[0017] In one possible implementation, a damping ring is provided between the outer cover and the inner cover to increase the friction between the outer cover and the inner cover.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the top of the pusher is provided with a boss for abutting against the extension plate, and the bottom of the electronic compartment is provided with a guide hole that slides with the boss.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the inner cover is provided with a threaded hole for connecting a sampling bottle, and a conical venting protrusion is provided inside the threaded hole. The venting protrusion can be moved into the sampling bottle to expel the air inside the sampling bottle.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the elastic plate and the extension plate are arranged perpendicular to each other, and the elastic plate and the extension plate are integrally formed.

[0021] The solution shown in this application, compared with the prior art, features an outer cover with an electronic compartment installed inside. An elastic plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the electronic compartment, and a locking protrusion protrudes from the outer side of the elastic plate. An extension plate is bent at the bottom of the elastic plate, extending into the electronic compartment. An inner cover is also installed inside the outer cover, connecting to a sampling bottle, and a pushing member is slidably disposed inside the inner cover along the axis of the outer cover. In use, the electronic compartment can be inserted into the outer cover from the top and secured to the outer cover by the locking protrusion on the outer side of the electronic compartment. When the electronic compartment needs to be removed for maintenance, the pushing member can be pushed upwards, causing it to abut against the extension plate. The extension plate then bends the elastic plate inwards, disengaging the locking protrusion from the slot on the inner wall of the outer cover, and the pushing member pushes the electronic compartment out. This allows for the detachable operation of the electronic compartment, making it removable and maintainable, thus reducing future maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0027] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2The detachable smart bottle cap for water sample tracking provided by this utility model will now be described. The detachable smart bottle cap for water sample tracking includes an outer cover 1, an inner cover 2, an electronic compartment 3, elastic plates 33, a pusher 22, and an extension plate 34. The inner cover 2 is rotatably disposed inside the outer cover 1. The pusher 22 is slidably disposed inside the inner cover 2 along the axis of the outer cover 1. The inner cover 2 is used to connect the sampling bottle. The electronic compartment 3 is inserted into the top of the outer cover 1. Multiple elastic plates 33 are disposed on the outer side wall of the electronic compartment 3. A locking protrusion 331 is protruding from the outer side wall of the elastic plate 33. A locking groove for accommodating the locking protrusion 331 is recessed on the inner wall of the outer cover 1. The electronic compartment 3 is provided with an installation cavity for installing an electronic module. One end of the extension plate 34 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the elastic plate 33, and the other end extends towards the axis of the electronic compartment 3. When the pusher 22 moves upward, it can abut against the extension plate 34.

[0028] The detachable smart bottle cap for water sample tracking provided in this embodiment, compared with the prior art, features an outer cover 1, inside which an electronic compartment 3 is installed. An elastic plate 33 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the electronic compartment 3, and a snap-fit ​​protrusion 331 protrudes from the outer side of the elastic plate 33. An extension plate 34 is bent at the bottom end of the elastic plate 33 and extends into the electronic compartment 3. An inner cover 2 is also installed inside the outer cover 1, which is used to connect to the sampling bottle. A pusher 22 is slidably disposed inside the inner cover 2 along the axial direction of the outer cover 1. In use, the electronic compartment 3 can be inserted from the top of the outer cover 1 into the outer cover 1 and snapped onto the outer cover 1 by the snap-fit ​​protrusion 331 on the outer side of the electronic compartment 3. When the electronic compartment 3 needs to be removed for maintenance, the pusher 22 can be moved upwards, causing it to abut against the extension plate 34. The extension plate 34 then causes the elastic plate 33 to bend inwards towards the electronic compartment 3, thereby disengaging the mounting protrusion 331 from the slot on the inner wall of the outer cover 1. The pusher 22 then pushes the electronic compartment 3 out. This allows for the disassembly and maintenance of the electronic compartment 3, reducing future maintenance costs.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, a plurality of elastic plates 33 are provided on the side wall of the electronic compartment 3, and the plurality of elastic plates 33 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the electronic compartment 3.

[0030] Preferably, in this embodiment, the electronic compartment 3 is removed by pushing the pusher 22. However, when the bottle cap is installed on the sampling bottle, the electronic compartment 3 cannot be directly removed, thus ensuring the accuracy of data recorded during transportation.

[0031] In some embodiments, the outer cover 1 may be as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 The structure shown. See also... Figure 1 , Figure 2The inner wall of the outer cover 1 is provided with a support platform 11 for limiting the movement of the inner cover 2 along the axial direction of the outer cover 1. There are two support platforms 11, which are spaced apart and parallel to each other along the axial direction of the outer cover 1. The inner cover 2 is rotatably positioned between the two support platforms 11. This limits the movement of the inner cover 2 relative to the outer cover 1 along the axial direction of the outer cover 1. It prevents the inner cover 2 from moving upwards when tightening the cap onto the sampling bottle, thus avoiding affecting the stability of the electronic compartment 3 installation.

[0032] In some embodiments, the electronic compartment 3 described above can be adopted as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 The structure shown. See also... Figure 1 , Figure 2 An anti-rotation rib 35 protrudes from the outer wall of the electronic compartment 3, and an anti-rotation groove is recessed on the inner wall of the outer cover 1 to slide with the anti-rotation rib 35. The anti-rotation rib 35 is positioned along the axis of the electronic compartment 3, and its length is the same as that of the electronic compartment 3. The anti-rotation groove on the inner wall of the outer cover 1 ensures that the anti-rotation rib 35 on the outer side of the electronic compartment 3 aligns with the anti-rotation groove during installation, thus guaranteeing the stability of the relative position between the electronic compartment 3 and the outer cover 1. After the electronic compartment 3 is installed onto the outer cover 1, the locking protrusion 331 on the outer side of the electronic compartment 3 can be stably locked into the locking groove, facilitating subsequent installation of the electronic compartment 3.

[0033] In some embodiments, the electronic compartment 3 described above can be adopted as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 The structure shown. See also... Figure 1 , Figure 2 The electronic compartment 3 includes an upper cover 31 and a middle ring 32. The upper cover 31 is slidably disposed inside the outer cover 1; the middle ring 32 is connected to the upper cover 31 and together with the upper cover 31 forms an installation cavity for installing electronic modules. The top of the upper cover 31 is a closed structure, and the middle ring 32 is installed at the bottom of the upper cover 31, thereby forming an installation space for installing electronic modules between the upper cover 31 and the middle ring 32. When it is necessary to repair the electronic modules later, the electronic compartment 3 can be removed from the inside of the outer cover 1, and then the upper cover 31 and the middle ring 32 can be disassembled and separated, so that the electronic modules can be repaired.

[0034] Preferably, in this embodiment, the outer wall of the upper cover 31 is slidably disposed inside the outer cover 1, and a sealing ring is also provided between the upper cover 31 and the outer cover 1 to achieve a seal between the upper cover 31 and the outer cover 1. This prevents external moisture from entering the mounting cavity. Furthermore, when the upper cover 31 is installed inside the outer cover 1, the top surface of the upper cover 31 is flush with the top surface of the outer cover 1 or recessed inside the outer cover 1, making it impossible for the upper cover 31 to be pulled out from the outside of the outer cover 1.

[0035] Optionally, in this embodiment, the upper cover 31 and the middle ring 32 are connected by heat-removable adhesive. This improves the sealing effect between the upper cover 31 and the middle ring 32. Furthermore, when maintenance of the electronic module is required later, the upper cover 31 and the middle ring 32 can be disassembled by heating.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, a charging coil and a communication coil are installed on the top of the upper cover 31, enabling the electronic module to receive external wireless charging and to communicate wirelessly with the outside world.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, an iron ring is also installed on the top of the upper cover 31, and an annular groove is recessed on the outer side of the outer cover 1 to accommodate the magnetic attraction and screwing of the robotic arm.

[0038] In some embodiments, the outer cover 1 may be as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 The structure shown. See also... Figure 1 , Figure 2 The inner cap 2 is rotatably disposed inside the outer cap 1. A monitoring component 4 is also provided between the outer cap 1 and the inner cap 2 to monitor the relative position of the inner cap 2 and the outer cap 1. The inner cap 2 is rotatably disposed inside the outer cap 1. During the process of opening the bottle cap, the inner cap 2 will rotate relative to the outer cap 1. In order to record the opening record of the bottle cap, the monitoring component 4 monitors the change in the relative position of the inner cap 2 and the outer cap 1, thereby realizing the monitoring of the opening record of the inner cap 2 and the outer cap 1.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the monitoring component 4 includes a magnet and a sensor for sensing the position of the magnet. The sensor is installed at the bottom of the electronic compartment 3, and the magnet is installed at the top of the inner cover 2. When the bottle cap is opened, the operator will rotate the outer cover 1, and the inner cover 2 is connected to the sampling bottle. Thus, when the outer cover 1 is rotated, the inner cover 2 will rotate relative to the outer cover 1, thereby moving the magnet to the position of the sensor, so that the sensor can sense the position of the magnet and generate a record.

[0040] In some embodiments, the outer cover 1 and the inner cover 2 may be adopted as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 The structure shown. See also... Figure 1 , Figure 2The outer cover 1 has a first limiting rib 12 protruding from its inner wall, and the inner cover 2 has a second limiting rib 21 protruding from its outer wall to abut against the first limiting rib 12. When the inner cover 2 is installed inside the outer cover 1, the first limiting rib 12 and the second limiting rib 21 are arranged parallel to each other, and their length directions are both along the axis of the outer cover 1. When the bottle cap is opened or installed onto the sampling bottle, the outer cover 1 rotates relative to the inner cover 2. When the first limiting rib 12 abuts against the second limiting rib 21, the force can be transferred from the outer cover 1 to the inner cover 2. This allows for the installation or removal of the bottle cap.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, there are multiple first limiting ribs 12 and multiple second limiting ribs 21, and the number of each is the same. The multiple first limiting ribs 12 are evenly spaced and parallel along the circumference of the outer cover 1, and the multiple second limiting ribs 21 are evenly spaced and parallel along the circumference of the inner cover 2. This ensures the uniformity of force between the outer cover 1 and the inner cover 2.

[0042] Preferably, in this embodiment, during the process of opening the bottle cap, after the outer cap 1 rotates relative to the inner cap 2 until the first limiting rib 12 abuts against the second limiting rib 21, the magnet just moves to the sensing end of the sensor, so that the signal of opening the bottle cap can be recorded first, and then the inner cap 2 is opened by the outer cap 1, realizing the process of recording first and then opening. When tightening, there is a damping force between the inner cap 2 and the outer cap 1, causing the inner cap 2 and the outer cap 1 to rotate together. When tightening, a large force is required at the end, which is much greater than the damping force, so that the outer cap 1 rotates relative to the inner cap 2, and the sensing position is misaligned; when loosening the cap, the damping force is initially overcome, the outer cap 1 rotates relative to the inner cap 2, the sensing position coincides, and the signal is triggered. To continue loosening the cap, the tightening force needs to be overcome, and the inner cap 2 and the outer cap 1 rotate together to loosen the cap.

[0043] In some embodiments, the inner cover 2 may be adopted as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 The structure shown. See also... Figure 1 , Figure 2 A damping ring 5 is provided between the outer cover 1 and the inner cover 2 to increase the friction between them. An annular groove for holding the damping ring 5 is recessed on the outer wall of the inner cover 2. The damping ring 5 is installed inside the annular groove and protrudes from the outer wall of the inner cover 2, abutting against the inner wall of the outer cover 1. This increases the friction between the inner cover 2 and the outer cover 1, ensuring that the outer cover 1 will only rotate relative to the inner cover 2 when manually rotated. This prevents the outer cover 1 from rotating relative to the inner cover 2 in a free state, thus avoiding erroneous recording information and ensuring the accuracy of recorded information during use.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the bottle cap is installed on the sampling bottle, after tightening the cap, the operator needs to exert considerable force to open it. Therefore, during the opening process, the outer cap 1 preferably rotates relative to the inner cap 2. After the first limiting rib 12 contacts the second limiting rib 21, the outer cap 1 drives the inner cap 2 to rotate, thereby removing the bottle cap from the sampling bottle.

[0045] Preferably, in this embodiment, the damping ring 5 can be a rubber ring, which can play a certain sealing role.

[0046] In some embodiments, the inner cover 2 may be adopted as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 The structure shown. See also... Figure 1 , Figure 2 The top of the pusher 22 protrudes with a boss 221 for abutting against the extension plate 34, and the bottom of the electronic compartment 3 has a guide hole that slides with the boss 221. The pusher 22 is slidably disposed inside the inner cover 2 along the axial direction of the outer cover 1. The boss 221 protrudes from the top of the pusher 22 and slides inside the guide hole on the electronic compartment 3, which guides the relative position between the boss 221 and the electronic compartment 3. At the same time, the boss 221 abuts against the extension plate 34 and pushes the extension plate 34 to bend upward. During the pushing process, multiple extension plates 34 can be pushed upward simultaneously, causing multiple locking protrusions 331 to disengage from the slots at the same time.

[0047] In some embodiments, the inner cover 2 may be adopted as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 The structure shown. See also... Figure 1 , Figure 2 The inner cap 2 has a threaded hole for connecting a sampling bottle. A conical venting protrusion 23 protrudes from the inside of the threaded hole, which can move into the sampling bottle to expel air from inside. The conical venting protrusion 23 is coaxially arranged inside the inner cap 2. After the inner cap 2 is installed on the sampling bottle, the venting protrusion 23 can extend into the sampling bottle, allowing air to be expelled. This allows for the simultaneous expulsion of air from the sampling bottle when installing the cap, especially for samples where air cannot be retained.

[0048] Preferably, in this embodiment, a temperature detector for detecting the temperature of the sample inside the sampling bottle is also installed inside the venting protrusion 23. Furthermore, the temperature detector is sealed to the venting protrusion 23.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, the pusher 22 is slidably disposed inside the drain protrusion 23. The pusher 22 is coaxial with the drain protrusion 23 and extends through the drain protrusion 23. A sealing ring is installed between the pusher 22 and the drain protrusion 23 to prevent water sample from overflowing into the electronic compartment 3 and affecting the service life of the electronic components.

[0050] In some embodiments, the aforementioned elastic plate 33 may be adopted as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 The structure shown. See also... Figure 1 , Figure 2 The elastic plate 33 and the extension plate 34 are arranged perpendicularly to each other, and the elastic plate 33 and the extension plate 34 are integrally formed. This integrally formed structure facilitates production and processing, and also enhances the connection strength between the elastic plate 33 and the extension plate 34.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, a clearance is provided on the side wall of the electronic compartment 3 to allow the elastic plate 33 to swing. The extension plate 34 is located at the bottom end of the elastic plate 33 and extends into the electronic compartment 3. When it is necessary to remove the electronic compartment 3, the pusher 22 is pushed towards the electronic compartment 3. The pusher 22 abuts against the extension plate 34 and deforms the elastic plate 33, causing the locking protrusion 331 to slide out from the slot, thereby completing the removal of the electronic compartment 3.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
