Illustratively, the water amount monitoring assembly 5 is activated to monitor the water amount in the cup body structure 200 by detecting whether the elastic cap 25 is opened. It can be understood that when the elastic cover 25 is opened, it means that the user needs to drink water or add water into the cup body structure 200, that is, the amount of water in the cup body structure 200 will change, and the amount of water therein needs to be monitored. Based on this, can set up corresponding monitoring program, monitor the operation of opening and closing of bullet lid 25, when monitoring that bullet lid 25 opens and when opening the back and close, just start water yield monitoring subassembly 5 and monitor the water yield value in cup structure 200, all the other times can not initiate the monitoring operation to the water yield in cup structure 200 automatically. The device can reduce the water quantity monitoring times and effectively reduce the power consumption and the error detection probability of the whole machine. It should be understood that the opening of the elastic cap 25 is only an example, and the design based on the principle of monitoring whether the cup structure 200 is converted from the non-sealing state to the sealing state and further monitoring the water level inside the cup structure 200 is within the protection scope of the present invention.

In other embodiments, a three-axis acceleration sensor may be disposed in the lid structure 100 or the cup structure 200 to monitor the physical state of the lid structure 100 or the cup structure 200, and feed back the monitoring result to the control motherboard 3, and the control motherboard 3 determines the physical state (stable standing or moving or tilting, etc.) of the cup structure 200 or the lid structure 100 according to the monitoring result. When the cup body structure 200 is in a horizontal standing state, the main board 3 is controlled to start the water amount monitoring assembly 5 to monitor the water amount value in the cup body structure 200. This setting is just to start the water yield monitoring when guaranteeing that cup structure 200 is in the level state of stewing, because the surface of water in cup structure 200 is steady, relatively level this moment, and laser sensor 8 can detect the water yield in cup structure 200 according to the laser rangefinder principle more accurately. Illustratively, the three-axis acceleration sensor can adopt an SC7A20 digital three-axis acceleration sensor chip.

The three conditions are included, one is that only a three-axis acceleration sensor is arranged in the cup cover structure 100, the other is that only a three-axis acceleration sensor is arranged in the cup body structure 200, and the third is that the three-axis acceleration sensors are arranged in both the cup cover structure 100 and the cup body structure 200. It can be understood that, if the water level monitoring device is only arranged in the lid structure 100, the control main board 3 needs to determine the open or closed state of the lid structure 100 and the cup structure 200 by combining the above-mentioned thimble assembly 19 in the preset program, that is, when the lid structure 100 and the cup structure 200 are in the closed state and the lid structure 100 is in the horizontal state, the water level monitoring is started.

In the second case, because the laser sensor 8 is fixed in the lid structure 100, if the lid structure 100 and the cup structure 200 are in an open state, the laser sensor 8 cannot directly irradiate the inside of the cup structure 200, and therefore, the lid structure 100 and the cup structure 200 are also guaranteed to be in a closed state, so that the accuracy of monitoring the water amount by the laser sensor 8 can be ensured. In a similar manner, the control main board 3 also needs to determine the open or closed state of the cup lid structure 100 and the cup body structure 200 by combining the above-mentioned thimble assembly 19 in the preset program, that is, when the cup lid structure 100 and the cup body structure 200 are in the closed state, and the cup body structure 200 is in the horizontal state, the water amount monitoring is started.

In the third situation, the preset program can judge whether the cup lid structure 100 and the cup body structure 200 are in the horizontal state directly according to the three-axis acceleration sensor without monitoring whether the cup lid structure 100 and the cup body structure 200 are in the closed state, and when the two are in the horizontal state, the water amount monitoring is started. It can be understood that the third case is an expansion scheme based on the inventive concept of the present application, and is not a preferred embodiment of the present application. The first and second cases are preferred.
