Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a portable dumbbell water bottle, a multi-purpose water bottle device that combines drinking and weight-bearing functions. It is characterized by comprising: a bottle body with a water storage space inside, and an adjustable weight element. This adjustable weight element automatically adjusts the overall weight according to changes in the water level inside the bottle. When the bottle is full of water, the total weight increases; when the water is empty, the weight returns to its initial value, achieving the dual functions of a portable dumbbell and water bottle in one piece, thus possessing industrial applicability. Prior Technology

[0002] Most dumbbell devices currently on the market are fixed-weight or detachable weightlifting equipment, requiring users to manually change weight plates according to training intensity to achieve different training needs. In addition, some adjustable dumbbell products use rotating mechanisms or latching structures to adjust the weight, but these are generally bulky, inconvenient to carry, and cannot be used for everyday life. The aforementioned conventional technologies have the following drawbacks:

[0003] 1. Lack of flexibility: Traditional dumbbells require manual weight changes based on training intensity, which lacks immediacy and convenience.

[0004] 2. Poor portability: Dumbbells are mostly fitness equipment, and their size or shape makes them difficult to carry around.

[0005] 3. Limited functionality: It only has weight training function and cannot be combined with daily use (such as drinking water or going out).

[0006] 4. Limited usage space: It is limited by the fitness space and is difficult to integrate into daily or outdoor activities.

[0007] Therefore, existing technology cannot meet the need to combine "daily use" and "exercise function" into one, leaving room for improvement and innovation. Summary of the Invention

[0008] This invention provides a portable dumbbell water bottle, comprising: a bottle body with a dumbbell-like appearance, a hollow structure with an internal water storage chamber, and a water outlet and an openable cap; an adjustable weight element located on the side or bottom of the bottle body, including one or more movable counterweight mechanisms, such as magnetic counterweight balls, compression spring mechanisms, sliding rail weights, hydraulic pistons, etc., driven by an internal compression mechanism, rotating gears, or sliding linkages, which can automatically release or recover the weight according to changes in the water level inside the bottle; a sensing module used to detect changes in water volume and link with the counterweight mechanism, which can be a liquid level sensor, pressure sensor, or gravity sensor; and a grip area: the bottle body has an ergonomic, non-slip grip for easy handheld use during exercise. In use, when the user fills the bottle with water, the device automatically increases in weight (e.g., from 1 kg to 2 kg); as the water is drunk, the weight gradually decreases, returning to the initial weight, thus integrating drinking and training functions.

[0009] The present invention relates to a portable dumbbell water bottle, wherein the sensing module includes a control module and sensing control circuitry, and a processing unit capable of sensing the water level and controlling the counterweight mechanism.

[0010] The present invention relates to a portable dumbbell water bottle, wherein the counterweight mechanism is selected from a compression spring mechanism, and has an adjustable weight element, which is the core of the actual adjustable load. The total weight changes with the movement of the mechanism, and it is a variable weight device, which adjusts its position according to the controller.

[0011] The present invention relates to a portable dumbbell water bottle, wherein the adjustable weight element includes a counterweight mechanism module housing or a connecting base, which is a structural part for fixing the counterweight module and the control unit.

[0012] The present invention relates to a portable dumbbell water bottle, wherein the sensing module includes a water level sensing module, which uses a liquid level sensor (e.g., electrode type, float type, or pressure type) to detect the water level in the bottle in real time.

[0013] The present invention relates to a portable dumbbell water bottle, which further includes a locking mechanism that allows the user to manually set a fixed weight or activate an automatic weight-changing mode.

[0014] The present invention relates to a portable dumbbell water bottle, wherein the weight control principle and operation process of the sensing module are as follows:

[0015] 1. Power on → Start water level sensor → Transmit water level data (L)

[0016] 2. Current weight requirement for MCU operation (W): W = Wo + k × L

[0017] Where Wo is the empty weight of the bottle, and k is the weight gain coefficient per ml.

[0018] 3. Adjust the drive counterweight module to W (e.g., move the magnetic block to the bottom to increase weight).

[0019] 4. Users can manually switch modes: automatic weight adjustment / fixed weight / weight off.

[0020] The present invention relates to a portable dumbbell water bottle, wherein the weight simulation algorithm (simplified version) is as follows: assuming the maximum capacity of the water bottle is 1000ml, the basic weight is 1kg, and the weight when full is 2kg. Simple Explanation of the Diagram

[0021] The first figure is a schematic cross-sectional view of the portable dumbbell water bottle of the present invention.

[0022] The second figure is a flowchart illustrating the weight-changing state switching of the portable dumbbell water bottle of this invention. Implementation

[0023] The first and second figures show schematic diagrams of the portable dumbbell water bottle of the present invention. The portable dumbbell water bottle includes: a bottle body 100: having the appearance of a dumbbell, it is a hollow structure with an internal water storage chamber 102, and is provided with a water outlet 10 and an openable bottle cap 12, and has a bottle body transition area (upper edge of the handle) 104 as the upper handle area, which is ergonomic; an adjustable weight element 112: located on the side or bottom of the bottle body shell, including one or more movable counterweight mechanisms 110, such as magnetic counterweight balls, compression spring mechanisms, sliding rail weights, hydraulic pistons, etc., driven by an internal compression mechanism, rotating gears or sliding linkages, which can automatically release or recover weight according to changes in the water level in the bottle; a sensing module: used to detect changes in water volume and link with the counterweight mechanism, which can be a liquid level sensor, pressure sensing element or gravity sensing element; and a handle area 106: the bottle body is provided with an ergonomic non-slip handle for easy hand-held exercise training.

[0024] The sensing module includes a control module 130 and a sensing control circuit, which is a processing unit that can sense the water level and control the counterweight mechanism 110.

[0025] The counterweight mechanism 110 is selected from the compression spring mechanism and has an adjustable weight element 112, which is the actual load core that is adjusted. The total weight changes with the movement of the mechanism, and it is a variable weight device. The position is adjusted according to the controller.

[0026] The adjustable weight element 112 includes a counterweight mechanism module housing or a connecting base 122, which is a structural part for fixing the counterweight module and the control unit.

[0027] The sensing module includes a water level sensing module, which uses a liquid level sensor (such as an electrode type, float type, or pressure type) to detect the water level in the bottle in real time.

[0028] As shown in the first figure, the portable dumbbell water bottle includes a bottle body 100. The internal water storage chamber 102 can adjust the counterweight mechanism 110 according to the actual water volume through the control module 130, and drive the adjustable weight element 112 to change the total weight of the dumbbell water bottle. Users can hold the dumbbell water bottle through the grip area 106 for simple training, achieving the integration of daily drinking and weight training functions.

[0029] The variable weight switching flowchart of this invention is shown in Figure 2, and is explained below:

[0030] S10 The first step is to measure the weight of the kettle as a basis for judgment.

[0031] S20 The second step is to determine if the current weight is 0. If it is 0, it means the kettle is empty.

[0032] S30 Third step: If the kettle is empty, set the counterweight device to the minimum value, and then activate the counterweight device according to the water volume to make the kettle automatically increase in weight.

[0033] The number starting with S indicates "Step", and the incrementing number indicates the logical or execution order; "As shown in the second figure, in step S30, the system will set the device weight to the minimum to ensure safe startup."

[0034] This embodiment is a specific illustrative example, but the technical concept of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any application of similar sensing architecture and data processing logic for motion data analysis and feedback falls within the technical scope of the present invention.
