[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a cup lid with an effects unit, including a cup lid body 1. The bottom of the cup lid body 1 has a lower cavity 121 that connects to the opening of a water cup / bottle. A waterproof microphone 2 is mounted on the top of the lower cavity 121. Inside the upper part of the cup lid body 1, from top to bottom, are a speaker 3, a PCB board 4 integrating the effects unit, and a battery 5. The PCB board 4 is connected to the waterproof microphone 2, the speaker 3, and the battery 5. The waterproof microphone 2 has a waterproof rubber ring and a waterproof and breathable membrane to prevent liquids (such as water or beverages) from entering the waterproof microphone 2, avoiding damage due to moisture or leakage, and ensuring stability and durability during daily use. An effects unit is a device or software plugin used to alter sound signals. It is widely used in music production, recording, and live performances, and can affect sound in various ways, including distortion, chorus, delay, and compression, to achieve different sound and musical effects. Since effects units are a mature existing technology, this utility model will not elaborate on their specific structure, circuitry, and working principles.
[0022] The working process is as follows: After connecting the cup lid body 1 to the opening of the water cup / bottle through the lower cavity 121, tap the body of the water cup / bottle. The sound generated by the vibration of the cup body is transmitted to the lower cavity 121, recorded by the waterproof microphone 2 and converted into an electrical signal. The signal is then processed by the effects unit integrated on the PCB board. The processed electrical signal is transmitted through the speaker 3, thus realizing the effect of turning the water cup / bottle into a musical instrument with sound effects processing function.
[0023] The cup lid with effects provided in this embodiment, when combined with a water cup / bottle, forms a playable musical instrument, realizing the transformation of readily available everyday items into musical instruments with sound effect processing functions. This allows users to create and perform music anytime, anywhere using items around them (such as during outdoor activities or daily outings), greatly improving the convenience of music creation and performance, and filling the gap in the existing technology of combining everyday items with music effect processing.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 In one embodiment, the cup lid body 1 includes an outer shell 11 and an inner shell 12 disposed at the lower end of the outer shell 11. The bottom of the inner shell 12 forms a lower cavity 121. The speaker 3, PCB board 4, and battery 5 are disposed in the upper cavity 111 formed by the outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12, preventing liquid in contact with the lower cavity 121 from seeping into the upper cavity 111 and protecting the safety of the circuit components. At the same time, the speaker 3 is positioned upwards, and the top of the outer shell 11 has a speaker hole 112 facing the speaker 3, forming a directional sound output channel, reducing sound reflection loss in the cavity, and allowing the processed sound effect to be transmitted more clearly and directly.
[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 In one embodiment, a circular protrusion 122 is formed by the downward protrusion of the center of the top of the lower cavity 121. The diameter of the circular protrusion 122 is smaller than the opening diameter of the water cup / bottle. A microphone mounting slot 123 is provided at the bottom of the circular protrusion 122, which connects the lower cavity 121 and the upper cavity 111. A waterproof microphone 2 is installed in the microphone mounting slot 123, separating the lower cavity 121 and the upper cavity 111. A sound-conducting metal plate 21 is provided at the bottom of the waterproof microphone 2 for waterproof sound conduction. By setting the diameter of the circular protrusion 122 to be smaller than the opening diameter of the water cup / bottle, it can partially extend into the inside of the cup, getting closer to the vibration source of the cup body, shortening the sound propagation path, reducing the mixing of environmental noise, and allowing the waterproof microphone 2 to more accurately capture the original signal of the cup body vibration, thereby improving the basic signal quality of the sound processing. By setting up a microphone mounting slot 123 to connect the lower cavity 121 and the upper cavity 111, a fixed position is provided for the waterproof microphone 2, and the waterproof microphone 2 itself separates the lower cavity 121 and the upper cavity 111, so as to avoid the circuit components of the upper cavity 111 being affected by the humid environment of the lower cavity 121.
[0026] For further details, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4The top of the circular protrusion 122 is provided with a microphone cover plate 124 to cover the waterproof microphone 2, thereby separating the waterproof microphone 2 from the upper cavity 111. A wiring hole 1241 is provided on one side of the microphone cover plate 124, so that the wires between the waterproof microphone 2 and the PCB board can pass smoothly through the microphone cover plate 124.
[0027] For further details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 The lower cavity 121 has an external thread 1211 on its lower inner wall that connects to the opening of the water cup / bottle. A leak-proof sealing ring 125 is provided between the side wall of the lower cavity 121 and the circular protrusion 122. After the lower cavity 121 is connected to the opening of the water cup / bottle via the external thread 1211, the opening of the water cup / bottle will abut against the leak-proof sealing ring 125, thereby achieving the effect of sealing the water cup / bottle. The cup lid body 1 is connected to the water cup / bottle via a thread, which is not only convenient to install and remove, but also secure, preventing the cup lid body 1 from loosening or falling off the water cup / bottle during performance (tapping the cup).
[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 In one embodiment, a plurality of control button components 6 are provided on the upper side of the housing 11, and all of the control button components 6 are connected to the PCB board 4. Users can realize the functions of powering on and off and switching between various sound effects (such as distortion, delay, chorus, etc.) through the corresponding control button groups, allowing users to adjust the sound performance in real time according to creative needs, upgrading from a single sound effect output to a diversified sound effect selection, greatly enriching the possibilities of music creation and enhancing the flexibility of personalized expression.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 In one embodiment, the battery 5 is a rechargeable battery, such as a lithium battery. A charging interface 7 and a charging indicator component 8 are provided on one side of the upper end of the casing 11, with the charging indicator component 8 positioned adjacent to the charging interface 7. Both the charging interface 7 and the charging indicator component 8 are connected to the PCB board 4. Using a rechargeable battery instead of a disposable battery 5 reduces user costs, eliminates the need for frequent battery replacements, and is more environmentally friendly. Simultaneously, the rechargeable battery can be repeatedly charged and discharged through the charging interface 7, ensuring stable power supply during long-term use and meeting the needs of extended outdoor performances. The charging indicator component 8's proximity to the charging interface 7 allows users to visually observe the charging status (e.g., a red light indicates charging, a green light indicates fully charged), preventing overcharging or undercharging, extending the battery 5's lifespan, and enhancing user safety.
[0030] Please see Figure 1In one embodiment, a battery connector 41 for connecting to the battery 5 is provided on the bottom of the PCB board 4. The battery connector 41 adopts a standardized interface design, which can realize the electrical connection between the battery 5 and the PCB board without soldering, which facilitates quick installation during production assembly and also allows users to replace the battery 5 themselves after it ages without the need for professional tools, thus reducing maintenance costs and difficulty.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 In one embodiment, the speaker 3 is fixed to the top of the PCB board 4 by the speaker bracket 9. This not only fixes the speaker 3, but also raises the position of the speaker 3, shortening the propagation distance of the sound wave from the speaker 3 to the speaker hole 112 on the top of the housing 11. This reduces the reflection loss and energy attenuation of the sound inside the cavity, allowing the sound effect to be transmitted more directly and clearly through the speaker hole 112, improving the loudness and clarity of the sound. Especially in noisy environments such as outdoors, it can enhance the penetration of the sound.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the bottom of the PCB board 4 is provided with a microphone connector 42 for connecting to the waterproof microphone 2, and the top of the PCB board 4 is provided with a speaker connector 43 for connecting to the speaker 3. The microphone connector 42 enables quick connection between the waterproof microphone 2 and the PCB board through a standardized interface, replacing the traditional soldering method, facilitating assembly line assembly during production, and reducing the difficulty of later maintenance. Similarly, the speaker connector 43 provides a standardized interface for the speaker 3, facilitating assembly line assembly during production, and also reducing the difficulty of later maintenance.
