Abstract

A cup cover includes a housing, a temperature sensor located at a lower side of the housing for sensing a liquid temperature and a human body temperature and generating a sensed signal, a microprocessor located inside the housing and coupled to the temperature sensor for converting the sensed signal into a digital signal, and a display located on the housing and coupled to the microprocessor for displaying the liquid temperature or the human body temperature.

Description

Cup cover

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a cup lid, and more particularly to a cup lid capable of sensing and displaying temperature.

Background

In the times of industrial and commercial development and definite competition in minutes and seconds, the living pace of people is busy, people have a rather compact structure when having meals and drinking water, some people can unconsciously drink water by opening the cup cover and forget to scald hot coffee or hot tea just falling, and if the cup cover has the functions of sensing and displaying the temperature, the people can be prevented from directly drinking overheated beverage and being hurt. In addition, when tea or milk powder is brewed, the water temperature is required to be controlled to be proper to achieve the best brewing effect, and the cup cover with the sensing function can help a user to adjust the water temperature to be the best temperature.

When the baby is out in the home, the baby not only needs to sense the water temperature to soak the milk powder, but also may need to measure the body temperature of the child, and a human thermometer is needed at the moment. However, the infant in home long belts is often in a mess of hands and feet when going out, the articles to be carried are not numerous, and if the infant needs to carry the thermometer, the trouble of adding parents is avoided.

Detailed Description

Please refer to fig. 1, fig. 2 and fig. 3. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a cup lid 100 with temperature sensing function in an embodiment. Fig. 2 is another angle of the cap 100. Fig. 3 is a block diagram of the cap 100. The lid 100 includes a housing 102, a temperature sensor 104, a microprocessor 106, a display 108, a bluetooth device 110, a switch 112, and a battery 114. The temperature sensor 104 is located at the lower side of the housing 102 for sensing the liquid temperature, the human body temperature and/or the environmental temperature and generating a sensing signal; the microprocessor 106 is disposed inside the housing 102 and coupled to the temperature sensor 104 for converting the sensing signal into a digital signal; a display 108 on the housing 102 coupled to the microprocessor 106 for displaying the digital signals to indicate the liquid temperature, the human body temperature or the ambient temperature; the switch 112 is located on the housing 102 for selecting a range of sensed temperatures; a battery 114 is located within the housing 102 to provide power to drive the electronics of the lid 100.

Fig. 4 is a schematic view of the cap 100 in use. When making tea, milk powder or other beverages, the user can place the cap 100 on the cup and turn the switch 112 to the ambient temperature mode, which informs the microprocessor 106 to expand the sensing range, such as 0 ℃ to 100 ℃. The temperature sensor 104 located on the lower side of the housing 102 can sense the temperature of the liquid in the cup and generate a sensing signal, and the microprocessor 106 receives and converts the sensing signal into a digital signal containing temperature information. The display 108 may receive the digital signal and display the sensed temperature. The cup lid 100 can be wirelessly connected with the electronic device 120 by the bluetooth device 110 and transmit the digital signal to the electronic device 120. The electronics 120 can then record the sensed temperature data for later analysis purposes.

Fig. 5 is another use condition of the cap 100. The temperature sensor 104 of the cap 100 may also be used to sense the temperature of a human body. For example, when the cap 100 is used to detect body temperature, the user can switch the switch 112 to the body temperature detection mode, which informs the microprocessor 106 to narrow the sensing range and increase the accuracy, for example, 35 ℃ to 45 ℃. The temperature sensor 104 may be a contact temperature sensor or a non-contact temperature sensor, and when the temperature sensor 104 is a contact temperature sensor, the temperature sensor 104 of the lid 100 can be used to contact a portion of the human body, such as the forehead, to measure the temperature of the human body. When the temperature sensor 104 is a non-contact temperature sensor, such as an infrared temperature sensor, the temperature sensor 104 of the cup lid 100 can be aligned with a part of the human body to be sensed, such as the forehead, the temperature sensor 104 can sense the temperature of the human body and generate a sensing signal, and the microprocessor 106 can receive the sensing signal and convert the sensing signal into a digital signal containing temperature information. The display 108 may receive the digital signal and display the sensed temperature.

In conclusion, the cup cover of the invention can improve the practicability and convenience without changing the original water container. The cup cover can sense not only the liquid temperature but also the human body temperature, so when a baby is going out in a long distance, the baby only needs to carry the cup and the cup cover 100, and the trouble of carrying the thermometer and the cup can be avoided.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention, and various modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
