Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water cup technology, and in particular to a water cup with a flexible screen. Background Technology

[0002] Existing insulated water bottles are typically opaque due to limitations in the insulation material of their inner liner. Compared to transparent glass water bottles with poor insulation, this makes it difficult to accurately display the remaining water level. On the other hand, with the development of the display industry, flexible curved screens can now be used on curved structures, as shown in patent CN219609621U. While some existing water bottles do incorporate displays, these are usually small screens located on the lid or a small area on the side of the bottle, used only to display text data, and unable to achieve a large-area display effect. Therefore, there is a need for a water bottle with a flexible, wraparound display. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a water cup with a flexible screen.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following solution: A water cup with a flexible screen includes a cup body and a lid, the lid being detachably mounted at the opening of the cup body; it also includes a display module, wherein the display module includes a control board, a power supply, and a flexible screen; the cup body includes an outer shell, an insulated inner liner, and a base, the insulated inner liner and the outer shell being fixedly mounted on the base, the insulated inner liner being located inside the tubular outer shell; a flexible screen, bent into a cylindrical shape, is also disposed between the outer shell and the insulated inner liner, the outer shell being made of a transparent material; the power supply and the control board in the display module are respectively fixedly mounted inside the base, and the control board is also electrically connected to the power supply and the flexible screen respectively.

[0005] Furthermore, the flexible screen is bonded to the outer surface of the heat-insulating inner liner using high-temperature resistant silicone.

[0006] Furthermore, the display module also includes a mesh touch film; the mesh touch film is disposed between the flexible screen and the housing; the mesh touch film and a set position on the flexible screen form a positioning relationship; the mesh touch film is electrically connected to the control board.

[0007] Furthermore, the mesh touch film is bonded to the inner surface of the housing using OCA optical adhesive.

[0008] Furthermore, the display module also includes a pressure sensor, which is fixedly installed inside the base; the pressure sensor is located near the center of the base, on the side close to the heat-insulating inner liner; the pressure sensor is also electrically connected to the control board.

[0009] Furthermore, the pressure sensor is a strain gauge sensor.

[0010] Furthermore, the base is also equipped with a charging interface that is electrically connected to the battery.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting a curved flexible screen between the outer shell of the cup and the inner insulated liner, the large area on the side of the cup can be fully utilized to obtain a larger display area and display richer image effects. By placing high-temperature resistant silicone between the flexible screen and the heat-insulating inner liner, the high-temperature bonding performance of the silicone is guaranteed, and the temperature transfer between the flexible screen and the heat-insulating inner liner is isolated or reduced, thus protecting the flexible screen.

[0014] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0015] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the figures only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0016] Example 1: A water cup with a flexible screen includes a cup body and a lid, the lid being detachably mounted at the opening of the cup body. It also includes a display module, which comprises a control board 4, a power supply 5, and a flexible screen 6. The cup body includes an outer shell 1, an insulated inner liner 2, and a base 3. The insulated inner liner 2 and the outer shell 1 are respectively fixedly mounted on the base 3. The insulated inner liner 2 is located inside the tubular outer shell 1. It should be noted that the insulated inner liner 2 is made of opaque stainless steel. A flexible screen 6, bent into a cylindrical shape, is also disposed between the outer shell 1 and the insulated inner liner 2. The outer shell 1 is made of transparent material. The power supply 5 and the control board 4 in the display module are respectively fixedly mounted inside the base 3, and the control board 4 is electrically connected to both the power supply 5 and the flexible screen 6. The flexible screen is arranged around the entire outer side of the inner liner, allowing for the display of richer image information and interaction with the cup body, such as simulating the liquid level in a real cup. In this example, the control board 4 includes existing touch display drivers, such as the ADS7843 driver chip.

[0017] The flexible screen 6 is bonded to the outer surface of the heat-insulating inner liner 2 by high-temperature resistant silicone 8. In this way, on the one hand, the high-temperature resistant silicone 8 can withstand high temperatures and still maintain its bonding performance. On the other hand, the silicone has poor thermal conductivity, which can form a good heat insulation effect between the flexible screen 6 and the heat-insulating inner liner 2, and prevent the heat inside the inner liner from being transferred out and damaging the flexible screen 6.

[0018] The display module also includes a mesh touch film 9; the mesh touch film 9 is disposed between the flexible screen 6 and the outer shell 1; the mesh touch film 9 and a predetermined position on the flexible screen 6 form a positioning relationship, so that when the outer shell 1 is touched externally, the mesh touch film 9 senses the contact area based on capacitive sensing and forms a corresponding relationship with the flexible screen; the mesh touch film 9 is electrically connected to the control board 4; it should be noted that the mesh touch film 9, its principle, and its display relationship with the flexible screen 6 adopt existing methods, such as the display and touch principles in existing smartphones. In this example, the mesh touch film 9 is bonded to the inner surface of the outer shell 1 by OCA optical adhesive 10, wherein the outer shell 1 is made of high-transparency glass or plastic material.

[0019] The display module also includes a pressure sensor 11, which is fixedly installed inside the base 3. The pressure sensor 11 is located near the center of the base 3, on the side close to the insulated inner liner 2. The pressure sensor 11 is also electrically connected to the control board 4. The pressure sensor 11 is used to sense the liquid pressure inside the water cup and calculates the approximate liquid level using a set algorithm. It should be noted that the algorithm can be obtained through multiple experimental data. In this example, pure water, the most representative liquid, is used for the experiment to obtain the approximate liquid level. The pressure sensor 11 is a diaphragm strain gauge sensor, which is small in size, highly sensitive, and less affected by temperature.

[0020] The base 3 is also provided with a charging interface 7 that is electrically connected to the battery; the battery is a lithium battery that can be recharged repeatedly, which can significantly extend its service life; in this example, the charging interface 7 is a Type-C charging interface 7.

[0021] During implementation, a curved flexible screen 6 is installed between the outer shell 1 and the inner insulated liner 2 of the cup. This allows for full utilization of the large area on the side of the cup, resulting in a larger display area and enabling the display of richer image effects, such as simulated water level display. High-temperature resistant silicone 8 is installed between the flexible screen 6 and the inner insulated liner 2. This ensures the high-temperature bonding performance of the silicone and isolates or reduces temperature transfer between the flexible screen 6 and the inner insulated liner 2, thus protecting the flexible screen 6. A mesh touch film 9 is installed to enable touch control of the flexible screen 6, enriching the interaction with the cup.

[0022] The above description is merely a specific example of this utility model and does not constitute any limitation on this utility model. Obviously, those skilled in the art, after understanding the content and principle of this utility model, may make various modifications and changes in form and details without departing from the principle and structure of this utility model. However, these modifications and changes based on the concept of this utility model are still within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
