Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water cups, and in particular to a water cup with communication function. Background Technology

[0002] Water bottles are essential items that students carry daily, and their usage frequency far exceeds that of other personal items, giving them a natural advantage as "portable functional carriers." However, current student water bottle products on the market mainly focus on basic storage functions. The few that claim to have "smart" features mostly focus on health-related functions such as hydration reminders and water temperature monitoring, without addressing the need for short-distance communication between parents and students. In the daily pick-up and drop-off scenarios for primary and secondary school students, the need for immediate communication between parents and students has long existed and remains unresolved. 1. For younger students, especially elementary school students, their self-management skills are relatively weak. After school, they are prone to delaying leaving the school due to participating in school activities or playing with classmates, while parents usually need to arrive at the school gate in advance to wait. Due to the lack of direct means of communication with their children, parents cannot know their children's specific situation and can only wait blindly in the designated area. This not only wastes a lot of commuting and rest time, but may also cause anxiety due to concerns about their children's safety. The inconvenience of waiting is further aggravated, especially in inclement weather (such as rain or high temperatures) or during morning and evening rush hours.

[0003] 2. While existing portable devices with communication functions (such as children's smartwatches and mobile phones) can solve communication problems, they have significant shortcomings in adapting to school settings: First, most schools explicitly prohibit students from bringing such electronic products with mobile communication functions to school to avoid classroom disruptions and prevent students from becoming addicted; second, these devices rely on cellular data networks (such as 4G and 5G) for communication, but some schools actively block mobile communication signals to ensure a safe teaching environment, rendering the devices unusable on campus; third, the purchase cost and subsequent communication fees for these devices are relatively high, making them less cost-effective for families who only need to meet the single need of "school pick-up and drop-off reminders," thus hindering widespread adoption.

[0004] In summary, the current market urgently needs a short-range communication solution that can rely on essential student items, adapt to campus management requirements, be cost-effective, and not depend on mobile communication networks, in order to solve the problem of parents waiting blindly when picking up their children, while avoiding the limitations of existing communication equipment in campus scenarios.

The cup lid 20 is mounted on the cup body 10 and is provided with a first power supply 31, a first warning unit 32, a first button unit 33 and a first control board 34. The first control board 34 is electrically connected to the first power supply 31, the first warning unit 32 and the first button unit 33, and is provided with a first wireless communication module 24. The first wireless communication module 24 is used to communicate with the signal transmitter 40. The first control board 34 can enable the first warning unit 32 to operate when the first wireless communication module 24 receives the first wireless signal sent by the signal transmitter 40. The first button unit 33 can send a second wireless signal to the signal transmitter 40 through the first wireless communication module 24 based on the first wireless signal.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-3 The cup lid 20 is detachably mounted on the top of the cup body 10. The cup lid 20 integrates a first power supply 31, a first warning unit 32, a first button unit 33, and a first control board 34. The first control board 34 serves as the core control unit and is electrically connected to the first power supply 31, the first warning unit 32, and the first button unit 33 via wires. At the same time, the first control board 34 is equipped with a first wireless communication module 24 (preferably a 315MHz wireless communication module or a 433MHz wireless communication module) to realize the transmission and reception of wireless signals.

[0025] The signal transmitter 40 is provided in two implementation forms: a remote controller 40a and a repeater 40b, to adapt to different usage scenarios. Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figures 4-16 When the signal transmitter 40 is a remote control 40a, a compatible remote control 40a is provided for the parent. The remote control 40a integrates a second power supply 51, a second warning unit 52, a second button unit 53, and a second control board 54. The second control board 54 is electrically connected to the second power supply 51, the second warning unit 52, and the second button unit 53 via wires. The second control board 54 is equipped with a second wireless communication module 44 that matches the first wireless communication module 24 (both belonging to the 315MHz wireless communication module or the 433MHz wireless communication module) to ensure stable two-way wireless communication. The second button unit 53 can generate a first wireless signal when it is operated. The second control board 54 can enable the second warning unit 52 to operate when the second wireless communication module 44 receives the second wireless signal.

[0026] Reference Figure 2When the signal transmitter 40 is a repeater 40b, the repeater 40b can communicate with the mobile terminal and the first wireless communication module 24 to convert the third wireless signal sent by the mobile terminal into a first wireless signal and send it to the first wireless communication module 24, and to convert the second wireless signal sent by the first wireless communication module 24 into a third wireless signal and send it to the mobile terminal; that is, the repeater 40b has a built-in wireless conversion module, one end of which can communicate with mobile terminals such as mobile phones and tablets via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc., and the other end can communicate with the first wireless communication module 24 to realize the conversion and forwarding of signals of different frequency bands.

[0027] Reference Figures 5-16 To supplement the circuit principle of the key module, let's take the signal transmitter 40 as an example of the remote controller 40a: ① The first control board 34 is equipped with a first main control module 21, a first power supply module 22, and a first warning module 23 connected to the first main control module 21. Specifically: 1. First main control module 21: such as Figure 5 As shown, the first control board 34 uses a low-cost microcontroller (such as the STM32F103 series) as the main control chip. The power supply pin of the chip is connected to the output terminal of the first power supply 31, the interrupt pin is connected to the signal output terminal of the first button unit 33, and the I / O pins are connected to the driving terminal of the first alarm unit 32 and the transceiver pin of the first wireless communication module 24, respectively, to realize signal acquisition, instruction parsing and action control.

[0028] 2. First power supply module 22: such as Figure 6 As shown, the first power supply 31 uses a rechargeable lithium battery and is equipped with a power management chip (such as TP4056) to realize charging protection and over-discharge protection functions. The power output terminal is converted to 3.3V DC through a voltage regulator circuit to power the first control board 34, the first wireless communication module 24 and other core components, ensuring stable operating voltage.

[0029] 3. The first warning module 23 is connected between the first warning unit 32 and the first main control module 21: Two implementation methods are provided to meet different scenario requirements: such as... Figure 7 As shown, when the first warning unit 32 is a buzzer 32a, the positive terminal of the buzzer is connected to the I / O pin of the first main control module 21 through a current-limiting resistor, and the negative terminal is grounded. When the main control chip outputs a high level, the buzzer is powered on and emits a continuous or intermittent warning sound to achieve an auditory warning; Figure 8 As shown, when the first warning unit 32 is the first LED light 32b, the anode of the LED light is connected to the I / O pin of the first main control module 21 through a current-limiting resistor, and the cathode is grounded. The main control chip can control the LED light to be constantly on or flashing through pulse signals to achieve visual warning, which is suitable for scenarios where quiet needs to be maintained on campus.

[0030] 4. First button unit 33: such as Figure 9 As shown, the first button unit 33 adopts a push-button switch, a capacitive sensing switch, etc. One end of the switch is grounded, and the other end is connected to the interrupt pin of the first main control module 21 through a pull-up resistor. When not pressed, the pin is at a high level, and when pressed, the pin becomes at a low level, triggering the interrupt response of the main control chip and starting the signal sending process.

[0031] ② Module corresponding to remote control 40a: Second main control module 41 ( Figure 11 ), second power supply module 42 ( Figure 12 ), Second warning module 43 ( Figure 13 , 14 ), second button unit 53 ( Figure 15 ), second wireless communication module 44 ( Figure 16 The circuit principle is consistent with the corresponding module of the cup body assembly. The packaging size is optimized only to meet the miniaturization requirements of the remote control, ensuring complete matching of communication protocols and voltage specifications to achieve bidirectional signal interaction. In a further embodiment, refer to... Figure 13 The second warning unit 52 is configured as a buzzer 52a, as shown in the reference. Figure 14 The second warning unit 52 is configured as a second LED light 52b.

[0032] The core function of this invention is to enable two-way short-range communication between parents and students via the RF433 frequency band. The specific workflow is divided into two scenarios: Scenario 1: The signal transmitter is a remote control 40a (direct communication mode). Parents initiate a call: After arriving at the school gate, parents press the second button unit 53 on the remote control 40a. The second control board 54 detects the button trigger signal and generates a first wireless signal containing the "call" command, which is then transmitted through the second wireless communication module 44 in the RF433 frequency band.

[0033] Water cup reception and warning: After the water cup carried by the student receives the first wireless signal through the first wireless communication module 24, it transmits the signal to the first control board 34. After the first control board 34 analyzes the signal and confirms that it is a legitimate call command, it immediately drives the first warning unit 32 to act (the buzzer sounds or the LED light flashes) to remind the student's parents that they have arrived and need to go to the meeting point.

[0034] Student feedback response: After seeing or hearing the warning, the student presses the first button unit 33 on the cup lid 20. The first control board 34 detects the feedback signal and generates a second wireless signal containing the "received" instruction, which is sent to the remote control 40a through the first wireless communication module 24.

[0035] Parent feedback: After the second wireless communication module 44 of the remote control 40a receives the second wireless signal, it transmits it to the second control board 54. The second control board 54 drives the second warning unit 52 to act (the buzzer sounds or the LED flashes) to inform the parents that the student has received the notification and that the parents do not need to wait blindly.

[0036] Scenario 2: The signal transmitter is a repeater 40b (mobile terminal linkage mode). Parents initiate a call via mobile terminal: Parents send a third wireless signal (Bluetooth or Wi-Fi signal) as a "pick-up reminder" through a mobile APP. After receiving the signal, repeater 40b converts the third wireless signal into a first wireless signal in the RF433 frequency band and sends it to the first wireless communication module 24 of the student's water bottle.

[0037] The water cup receives and alerts: the process is the same as the second step of scenario one. The first control board 34 drives the first warning unit 32 to act, reminding the student.

[0038] Student feedback response: The process is the same as the third step of scenario one. The student presses the first button unit 33, and the water cup sends the second wireless signal (RF433 band).

[0039] Repeater forwarding feedback: Repeater 40b receives the second wireless signal, converts it into a third wireless signal (Bluetooth or Wi-Fi signal) that can be recognized by the mobile terminal, and sends it to the parent's mobile APP. Parents can then know the student's response status through the APP and achieve remote linkage.

[0040] The advantages of this utility model are: 1. It solves the problem of parents waiting blindly. Parents can send the first wireless signal to the student's water cup through the signal transmitter. After the water cup receives the signal, it triggers the first warning unit to remind the student to go to the designated location to gather, thus reducing the waiting time for parents.

[0041] 2. Adaptable to campus usage scenarios. For example, it uses a 315MHz or 433MHz wireless communication module to achieve two-way communication. Its frequency band is different from that of mobile communication networks, so it will not be affected by common campus communication network blocking methods. Moreover, it is not a mobile communication electronic product prohibited by the school and complies with campus management requirements.

[0042] 3. Controlling usage costs: 315MHz or 433MHz wireless communication modules are inherently low-cost, do not rely on cellular data networks, avoid subsequent communication fees, reduce the overall cost of product purchase and use, and are more easily accepted by parents.

[0043] 4. Enables two-way interactive communication: students can use the first button on their water cup to send a second wireless signal, and parents can use the second warning unit on the signal transmitter to know the student's response status, making communication more efficient and accurate and improving the convenience of the pick-up and drop-off process.

[0044] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
