Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fingerprint cup, and more particularly to a fingerprint cup based on a locking structure. [Background technology]

[0002] In the current technology field, fingerprint cups, as personal items incorporating biometric authentication technology, are already gaining attention in the market. This product enhances user safety and convenience through fingerprint authentication technology. For example, when applied to a thermos cup with a push-open lid, it can effectively prevent people from drinking from the wrong cup. However, existing fingerprint cups still have certain structural limitations. Fingerprint cup lids generally include a top and bottom lid, with the bottom lid twisting onto the cup body. The top lid is opened using fingerprint authentication technology to prevent users with mismatched fingerprints from drinking from the wrong cup. Since their core purpose is primarily to prevent people from opening the top lid of the fingerprint cup, rather than to prevent people from twisting open the entire cup lid, these existing fingerprint cups still have certain limitations in terms of safety and reliability. Although some ideas have attempted to solve this problem, they suffer from problems such as overly complex structures and insufficient human design, which hinder their widespread adoption and application in the market. Therefore, there is a strong demand in the market for fingerprint cups with a more optimized structure and improved safety and human design. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] The technical problem that this invention aims to solve is to provide a fingerprint cup based on a locking structure. Through optimal structural design, based on the existing fingerprint cup, it is possible to unlock the lock with a fingerprint and then twist open the entire cup lid, aiming to improve the safety, reliability and human design of the fingerprint cup and optimize the structure of the fingerprint cup.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention provides a fingerprint cup based on a locking structure, which includes a cup lid upper case assembly, a cup lid bottom case assembly, a locking structure, a fingerprint switch module, and a cup body.

[0018] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 10 , this embodiment provides a fingerprint cup based on a locking structure, which includes a cup lid upper case assembly 1, a cup lid bottom case assembly 2, a locking mechanism 3, a fingerprint switch module 4, and a cup body 5. The cup lid upper case assembly 1 is disposed on top of and connected to the cup lid bottom case assembly 2. The fingerprint switch module 4 is disposed on top of the cup lid upper case assembly 1, which is connected to the cup lid bottom case assembly 2 when the lid is closed. The locking mechanism 3 is movably disposed within the cup lid bottom case assembly 2, which is connected to the cup body 5. Preferably, a sealing pad 9 is disposed between the cup lid bottom case assembly 2 and the cup body 5 to ensure that the thermal cup is leak-proof.

[0020] In this embodiment, a complete cup lid comprises a cup lid upper case assembly 1, a cup lid bottom case assembly 2, a locking mechanism 3, and a fingerprint switch module 4. One side of the connection between the cup lid upper case assembly 1 and the cup lid bottom case assembly 2 is preferably realized by the fingerprint switch module 4. When the cup lid upper case assembly 1 is closed, the fingerprint switch module 4 connects to the cup lid bottom case assembly 2, preferably via a switch snap mechanism 41 therein. When the cup lid upper case assembly 1 is opened by the fingerprint switch module 4, the switch snap mechanism 41 separates from the cup lid bottom case assembly 2, as shown in FIG. 3 . The fingerprint switch module 4 may be an existing fingerprint switch module for a cup, and therefore, a description thereof will be omitted. The other side of the connection between the cup lid upper case assembly 1 and the cup lid bottom case assembly 2 is preferably realized by a torsion spring connection assembly 7, and this structure may also be an existing technology, and therefore, a description thereof will be omitted.

[0021] In this embodiment, the locking structure 3 is a structure that tightens and loosens the inner structure of the cup lid bottom case assembly 2, i.e., the cup lid inner bottom case 22. The locking structure 3 is movably disposed within the cup lid bottom case assembly 2. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, when the cup lid upper case assembly 1 is closed, the locking structure 3 is connected to the cup lid upper case assembly 1. As the cup lid upper case assembly 1 is pushed out, the locking structure 3 releases its lock on the cup lid bottom case assembly 2. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, when the cup lid upper case assembly 1 is opened by the fingerprint switch module 4, the locking structure 3 separates from the cup lid upper case assembly 1 and locks the cup lid bottom case assembly 2, allowing the entire cup lid to be opened by twisting it. The term "locking" may also be referred to as "tightening." Therefore, by optimizing the structural design, the present invention can realize that, based on the existing fingerprint cup, the lock can be released with a fingerprint before the entire cup lid can be twisted open, which effectively improves the safety and reliability of the fingerprint cup, enhances the human design of the fingerprint cup, and makes the overall structure more reasonable and reliable.

[0022] 6 and 7, the cup lid bottom case assembly 2 in this embodiment includes a cup lid outer bottom case 21 and a cup lid inner bottom case 22, and the cup lid inner bottom case 22 is disposed inside the cup lid outer bottom case 21 and connected to the cup mouth 51 of the cup body 5. The cup mouth 51 of the cup body 5 preferably employs a threaded cup mouth, so that a corresponding thread structure is disposed on the inner wall of the cup lid inner bottom case 22. The locking structure 3 is movably disposed between the cup lid outer bottom case 21 and the cup lid inner bottom case 22.

[0023] When the cup lid upper case assembly 1 is closed, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the locking structure 3 contacts one side of the cup lid outer bottom case 21 as the cup lid upper case assembly 1 is pushed out, loosening the cup lid inner bottom case 22. At this time, even if the cup lid outer bottom case 21 is rotated, the cup lid outer bottom case 21 and the cup lid inner bottom case 22 are not locked together, resulting in a free-wheeling state and preventing the cup lid from being unscrewed. Once the cup lid upper case assembly 1 is opened, as shown in Figures 3 to 5, the locking structure 3 releases from the cup lid upper case assembly 1 and elastically moves toward the cup lid inner bottom case 22, firmly clamping the cup lid inner bottom case 22 and achieving a locking function. Furthermore, because the cup lid inner bottom case 22 and the cup body 5 are connected by threads, the entire cup lid can be unscrewed.

[0024] Preferably, the locking mechanism 3 in this embodiment includes a fastening block 31 and a spring 32. A snap opening 222 is disposed on the outer wall of the water opening 221 of the cup lid inner bottom case 22. One end of the block 31 is shaped and sized to match the snap opening 222, and the other end of the block 31 abuts against the cup lid outer bottom case 21 via the spring 32. When the cup lid upper case assembly 1 is closed, the fastening block 31 is pushed out by the cup lid upper case assembly 1 to loosen the cup lid inner bottom case 22, i.e., separate from the snap opening 222. When the cup lid upper case assembly 1 is opened, the fastening block 31 is released from the cup lid upper case assembly 1 and moves to the cup lid inner bottom case 22 due to the elasticity of the spring 32, inserting into the snap opening 222 to firmly fasten the cup lid inner bottom case 22 and achieve a locking function. The water opening 221 is the drinking port of the cup lid.

[0025] 6 and 9, the number of the locking structures 3 in this embodiment is preferably two, and the two locking structures 3 are arranged symmetrically on both sides of the water outlet 221, which increases the stability of the locking action with a symmetrical structure. The number of the snap openings 222 is preferably multiple, and as shown in Figures 6 and 8, the multiple snap openings 222 are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the bottom of the water outlet 221, so that the locking action can be achieved by simply opening the cup lid upper case assembly 1 when rotated at different angles.

[0026] 9 and 10 , in this embodiment, a positioning hole 311 is provided in the center of the clamping block 31, and the positioning hole 311 is preferably an oval hole to provide movement space for the positioning post 231. The cup lid bottom case assembly 2 also has a clamping block mounting cavity 23, and a positioning post 231 corresponding to the positioning hole 311 is disposed in the clamping block mounting cavity 23, which ensures reliable movement of the clamping block 31. The clamping block mounting cavity 23 is disposed on the inner wall of the top of the cup lid outer bottom case 21 or on the upper surface of the cup lid inner bottom case 22, and in this embodiment, the clamping block mounting cavity 23 is disposed on the inner wall of the top of the cup lid outer bottom case 21.

[0027] As shown in Figures 6 and 9, in this embodiment, spring limit columns 312 are provided on both sides of the clamping block 31, and the spring 32 is covered by the spring limit columns 312, so that the spring 32 can be prevented from shifting position when the clamping block 31 moves.

[0028] As shown in Figures 3, 4, 6, and 7, in this embodiment, an insert 11 is arranged at the bottom of the cup lid upper case assembly 1, and an insertion hole 24 corresponding to the insert 11 is arranged in the cup lid bottom case assembly 2, and the position of the insertion hole 24 corresponds to the position of the tightening block 31.

[0029] More specifically, in this embodiment, a first inclined surface 313 is disposed on the side of the clamping block 31 closer to the water inlet 221, and a second inclined surface 111 corresponding to the first inclined surface 313 is disposed on the bottom of the insert 11. When the cup lid upper case assembly 1 covers the cup lid bottom case assembly 2, the insert 11 passes through the insertion hole 24 and abuts against the clamping block 31, and the first inclined surface 313 and the second inclined surface 111 act to allow the clamping block 31 to move more smoothly, allowing the clamping block 31 to separate from the snap opening 222.

[0030] In this embodiment, the cup lid upper case assembly 1 includes a cup lid outer upper case 12 and a cup lid inner upper case 13, and the cup lid inner upper case 13 is disposed inside the cup lid outer upper case 12. A storage chamber is formed between the cup lid outer upper case 12 and the cup lid inner upper case 13 to store components such as a switch snap mechanism 41 and a battery 8, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the cup lid upper case assembly 1 and reducing the volume of the product. The insert 11 is disposed at the bottom of the cup lid inner upper case 13.

[0031] 1 and 6, this embodiment preferably includes a solar assembly 6, which is disposed on top of the cup lid upper case assembly 1 and provides the basis for the solar charging function of the fingerprint cup. Of course, in practical applications, the solar assembly 6 is not an essential component, and in this case, a decorative sheet may be provided on top of the cup lid upper case assembly 1.

[0032] The specific embodiments described above are preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the specific implementation scope of the present invention. The scope of the present invention includes, but is not limited to, these specific embodiments, and all equivalent modifications made based on the shape and structure of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
