Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent drinking water containers, and in particular to an intelligent drinking water container. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of intelligent technology, and in today's pursuit of a healthy and convenient lifestyle, smart water dispensers, as a product that perfectly blends technology and practicality, are gradually entering people's field of vision, injecting new vitality into the simple act of drinking water. The functions of smart water dispensers are numerous and remarkable. Firstly, there is precise temperature monitoring. Built-in high-sensitivity temperature sensors capture water temperature changes in real time, displaying the information intuitively on the screen on the cup, allowing users to instantly know whether their drink is hot or cold, eliminating the embarrassment of scalding themselves or experiencing a sudden chill. Drinking reminders act as a health manager, vibrating or emitting a gentle reminder sound according to personally set time periods and water intake goals, helping to cultivate regular drinking habits, especially beneficial for busy office workers and students who easily forget to drink water. Some advanced smart water bottles are equipped with water quality detection modules, using advanced sensing technology to analyze key indicators such as TDS value and pH level in the water, constantly safeguarding the health of the water they drink. Connecting to a mobile app further unlocks the potential of smart water bottles. Complete water intake data is recorded, generating detailed daily and weekly water intake reports that intuitively present water intake trends. Combined with big data analysis, it can also tailor-make personalized water intake plans for users. The social sharing function makes healthy drinking an interactive topic, allowing users to motivate and supervise each other with friends, adding fun to life.
[0003] The cup body of smart water dispensers is typically made of food-grade 304 or 316L stainless steel, glass, or ceramic inner liner, ensuring safe and non-toxic water contact, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature resistance, providing a solid guarantee for long-term cold and heat retention. However, existing cup bodies or inner liners are usually not replaceable, thus preventing deep cleaning or personalized replacements, necessitating further optimization of the structure of existing smart water dispensers. Furthermore, with the development of personalized needs, people are placing higher demands on the aesthetic appearance of smart water dispensers. Utility Model Content
