Beverage cup structure capable of measuring beverage weight

Abstract

A beverage cup structure capable of measuring the weight of a drink includes a weighing section, a connecting section, and a holding section. The weighing section is equipped with a weight sensing element, a microprocessor, and a capacity indicator light. The connecting section has a cover and a cup stem. The holding section is positioned above the cup stem to hold the drink. The cover is fitted onto the weighing section, allowing the weight of the connecting section and the holding section to be transmitted to the weight sensing element for measurement. The microprocessor controls the capacity indicator light to emit different colors based on the measurement result, and the remaining drink quantity is displayed through the cup stem. This allows staff to quickly determine the remaining drink quantity, improving service efficiency and ease of use.

3. The beverage cup structure for measuring the weight of a beverage as claimed in claim 2, wherein the first stop has a first notch, the second stop has a second notch, the shape and position of the first notch correspond to the second stop, and the shape and position of the second notch correspond to the first stop.

4. As in claim 1, a beverage cup structure capable of measuring the weight of a beverage, wherein the microprocessor includes a judgment mechanism that defines a first state, a second state, and a third state; the first state corresponds to a first weight range and a first light color, the second state corresponds to a second weight range and a second light color, and the third state corresponds to a third weight range and a third light color; wherein, When the microprocessor determines that the signal measured by the weight sensing element falls within the first weight range, it transmits a command signal to the first lamp driving circuit to cause the capacity indicator lamp to emit the first light color; when the microprocessor determines that the signal measured by the weight sensing element falls within the second weight range, it transmits a command signal to the first lamp driving circuit to cause the capacity indicator lamp to emit the second light color; when the microprocessor determines that the signal measured by the weight sensing element falls within the third weight range, it transmits a command signal to the first lamp driving circuit to cause the capacity indicator lamp to emit the third light color.

5. The beverage cup structure with the ability to measure the weight of a beverage as described in claim 1, wherein the circuit module further includes a communication element electrically connected to the microprocessor and wirelessly connected to a control terminal, wherein when the weight determined by the microprocessor falls within a preset weight range, the communication element transmits a notification message to the control terminal.

6. The beverage cup structure with the ability to measure the weight of a beverage as claimed in claim 1, wherein the weighing part further includes a cup-dividing indicator light and a switching button, the cup-dividing indicator light and the switching button being disposed on the circuit module, the circuit module further including a second lamp driving circuit, the microprocessor being electrically connected to the second lamp driving circuit and the switching button, the second lamp driving circuit being electrically connected to the cup-dividing indicator light, and the switching button being used to input a switching command to control the display state of the cup-dividing indicator light.
