[0002] With the trend of product electrification and to better cater to user needs, technicians have incorporated fingerprint recognition technology into the lids of insulated cups. Users must first identify themselves via fingerprint before the lid can be opened, preventing misuse and reducing the risk of germ transmission. However, in existing technology, the lid can include an inner lid, an outer lid, and a main lid. To prevent the lid from being opened when closed, the outer lid has a locking groove, and the locking part is fitted with a spring within the groove to allow for sliding up and down. The inner lid is also equipped with an inner... The toothed ring and the locking part have a position to engage with the inner toothed ring during the sliding stroke, thus locking the inner and outer covers into a whole. When the inner and outer covers are locked, they are relatively fixed. When they are not locked, they can rotate relative to each other, increasing user safety. However, the assembly conditions of the locking part and the locking groove in the above structure are quite demanding and require a long processing time. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a more reasonable cup lid locking structure that can improve the above defects without affecting the user's functional experience. Utility Model Content

[0035] To more clearly illustrate this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will provide a further picture.

[0036] In the following description, specific examples are given to provide a more in-depth understanding of the present invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0037] It should be understood that when the terms “comprising” and / or “including” are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of the said feature, integral, step, operation, element, or component, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof.

[0038] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a smart cup lid with a novel locking mechanism. Please refer to the attached document. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 7 The device includes an inner cover 1, an outer cover 2, and a main cover 3. The inner cover 1 is threaded to the opening of the outer body 7 and has a locking pin 11 on its top. The outer cover 2 is connected to the top of the inner cover 1 and together with the inner cover 1, forms a drinking spout 4. The top of the outer cover 2 is provided with a through hole 21 for the locking pin 11 to move and extend, and a first locking element. The main cover 3 contains a main control board 5, a second locking element electrically connected to the main control board 5, and a biometric module 6. The biometric module 6 forms an identification area 61 on the surface of the main cover 3. The main cover 3 is movably closed to the outer cover 2, and the closing surface is provided with a top pin.

[0039] The following further elaborates on the solution of this application at the specific assembly and manufacturing and usage levels: During the assembly process, the technician first obtains the inner cover 1 and only needs to fix the locking pin 11 to the top surface of the inner cover 1. Since the outer cover 2 is directly machined on the top surface of the inner cover 1, there is no physical interference, which greatly increases the operating space for the technician. At the usage level, when the main cover 3 is closed, the first locking member and the second locking member fix the main cover 3 and the outer cover 2, and the top pin pushes the locking pin 11 into the gap formed by the inner cover 1 and the outer cover 2. At this time, the locking pin 11 is in the first limit position, and the top pin penetrates into the through hole 21, allowing the outer cover 2 and the main cover 3 to function. The first unit is a fixed connection, which can rotate with the inner cover 1. In actual use, the inner cover 1 and the body 7 are threadedly connected. Rotating the first unit cannot disengage the inner cover 1 from the threaded connection, preventing the lid from entering the open state. When the identity is correctly identified, the first locking member and the second locking member engage the locking limit, and the main cover 3 can be opened. The latch 11 protrudes into the through hole 21. At this time, the latch 11 is in the second limit position. The inner cover 1, the outer cover 2 and the outer cover 3 can be fixedly connected as a second unit by means of the latch 11. When the user rotates the second unit, the second unit and the body 7 are disengaged from the threaded connection, effectively ensuring the user experience.

[0040] In this embodiment, the area corresponding to the drinking spout 4 on the top of the inner cover 1 is surrounded by multiple receiving grooves 12, and multiple locking pins 11 are arranged one by one in the receiving grooves 12, and any locking pin 11 can reciprocate within the receiving groove 12. It is easy to understand that if there is only one locking pin 11 and one through hole 21, then the outer cover 2 needs to be rotated to a specific angle to allow the locking pin 11 to enter the through hole 21 to achieve locking. By adding multiple receiving grooves 12, the rotation stroke can be greatly reduced, allowing the locking pin 11 to quickly extend into the through hole 21, which is convenient for opening the entire cup lid to fill with water. In a further embodiment, the number of through holes 21 is multiple, and they are placed in two opposite directions of the drinking spout 4 in equal numbers. Under this design, since the locking pin 11 of this application can ensure the stability of the force during rotation in two opposite directions, the specific number of through holes 21 is 2, 4, 6, etc., preferably 2, which has both the performance of easy processing and stable force.

[0041] The reciprocating motion scheme between the locking pin 11 and the receiving groove 12 can be achieved using a magnetic structure. By utilizing the principle of magnetic repulsion, the first and second extreme positions can be achieved. However, the magnetic structure places certain requirements on the material of the locking pin 11, which will further increase the manufacturing cost. Therefore, in this embodiment, the locking pin 11 and the groove of the receiving groove 12 are connected by an elastic structure 13. The elastic structure 13 can be a spring, a spring sheet, or elastic silicone, etc. It is preferred to use a spring, as the spring has a mature manufacturing process, low manufacturing cost, and can be quickly assembled into the receiving groove 12.

[0042] In order to provide rotational stability for the inner cover 1 and the outer cover 2, in this embodiment, the outer wall of the inner cover 1 is provided with a circumferential annular groove 14, and the outer cover 2 is provided with a protruding fastener 22 that fits into the circumferential annular groove 14. Through the cooperation of the protruding fastener 22 and the axial annular groove, the outer cover 2 and the inner cover 1 maintain rotational stability when they rotate relative to each other, and the inner cover 1 and the outer cover 2 will not easily separate and fall off.

[0043] In this embodiment, the inner top surface of the outer cover 2 has a sleeve 23. The outer wall of the sleeve 23 and the inner wall of the outer cover 2 are provided with a first gap 24. Multiple protruding fasteners 22 are distributed at equal angles on the inner wall of the sleeve 23 with the drinking spout 4 as the center. Through the cooperation of the sleeve 23 and the first gap 24, the protruding fasteners 22 can have a certain elasticity based on the special profile. The first gap 24 can provide the protruding fasteners 22 with a suitable space for elastic extension, which facilitates the connection between the outer cover 2 and the inner cover 1. In a further embodiment, the sleeve 23 is provided with a second gap 25 on both sides corresponding to the protruding fasteners 22, and the outer wall of the inner cover 1 is provided with an axial groove 15. The second gap 25 can increase the elastic performance of the protruding fasteners 22, while the axial groove 15 is used to guide the installation of the inner cover 1 and the outer cover 2. In the specific installation process, the protruding fasteners 22 are aligned with the axial groove 15 and then slid vertically into the circumferential groove 14 to realize the rapid assembly of the inner cover 1 and the outer cover 2.

[0044] The first and second locking components are mutually cooperating locking mechanisms, such as locking rings and locking tongues. In this embodiment, the first locking component is a protrusion 31 with a snap-fit ​​recess 32 on its side. The second locking component includes a drive motor 33 and a locking pin 34. The linkage end of the locking pin 34 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 33, and the locking end extends into or away from the snap-fit ​​recess 32 based on the working state of the drive motor 33. Specifically, when the user authenticates their identity through the biometric module 6, if the authentication is incorrect, the locking pin 34 extends into the snap-fit ​​recess 32. In the recess 32, the outer cover 2 is locked to the main cover 3. Conversely, if the identity authentication is correct, the locking pin 34 moves away from the recess 32, and the outer cover 2 and the main cover 3 are locked in contact, allowing the user to open it. The specific way the main cover 3 and the outer cover 2 are matched can be achieved by a pivot structure to achieve flip-closed closing, or by a hanging rope structure to achieve movable closing. The pivot structure is preferred. In a further scheme, the pivot structure can also be equipped with a torsion spring to accumulate potential energy in the closed state. When locked in contact, it will immediately spring open to expose the drinking spout 4.

[0045] In this embodiment, the locking pin 34 is provided with a torsion spring shaft; a first bevel gear 35 and a second bevel gear 36 are sequentially provided between the drive motor 33 and the locking pin 34, and the end of the second bevel gear 36 is connected to a swing member 37, which is movable and abuts against the linkage end; the torsion spring shaft, the swing member 37, the first bevel gear 35 and the second bevel gear 36 cooperate with each other to realize the conversion of the rotational motion of the output shaft into the reciprocating motion of the locking end, thereby achieving an efficient and stable locking effect.

[0046] In this embodiment, the biometric module 6 is one or more of a voice control module, fingerprint module, facial recognition module, or eye recognition module; preferably, facial recognition is used. With continuous optimization of algorithms and improvement of computing power, facial recognition technology has made significant progress in terms of speed and accuracy. It can compare and analyze a large number of faces in a short time, quickly and accurately completing the identity verification task; compared with traditional identity authentication methods (such as passwords, fingerprints, etc.), facial recognition technology is more difficult to copy and forge. This is because each person's facial features are unique and change with time and environment, which increases the difficulty of forgery.

[0047] This application also provides a kettle, including a kettle body 7 and any of the smart cup lids in the foregoing embodiments, the cup lid being disposed on the opening of the kettle body 7.

[0048] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0049] While effectively ensuring the user experience, the locking structure between the inner and outer covers has been optimized. The mounting position of the latch is located on the top surface of the inner cover, which greatly simplifies the installation.

[0050] The above-disclosed embodiments are only a few specific examples of this utility model. However, this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
