Referring to fig. 5, in some embodiments, the touch sensor may be a capacitive sensor. Specifically, the capacitive sensor includes a touch sensor 502 and a capacitance detection circuit module, the touch sensor 502 may be made of metal, the touch sensor 502 is connected to the cup rim 401, the touch sensor 502 is electrically connected to the capacitance detection circuit module, and the capacitance detection circuit module is electrically connected to the main control module 601. The human body itself is also equivalent to a capacitor, when the mouth of the user touches the cup opening 401, and when the mouth does not touch the cup opening 401, the capacitor of the human body will cause the output signal of the capacitor detection circuit module to change, and the main control module 601 can determine whether the mouth of the user touches the cup opening 401 currently according to the output signal of the capacitor detection circuit module. The specific circuit arrangement of the capacitive sensor is well known in the art and will not be described in detail herein. In other embodiments, the touch sensor may also be configured as an infrared sensor.

In other embodiments, the liquid level sensor may also be provided as a capacitive level gauge. Alternatively, the liquid amount sensor may be a pressure sensor that directly measures the sum of the weights of the liquid in the inner container 305 and the liquid chamber 301, and the amount of change in the liquid may be calculated from the difference between the gravity values at two times.

Specifically, referring to fig. 6, the cup body 101 further includes a base 604 and a bottom seal 605, the base 604 is connected to the bottom of the lower case 304, a pressure sensor (i.e., a liquid amount sensor, not shown in detail in fig. 6) is mounted on the base 604, the pressure sensor can be held against the bottom of the outer wall of the inner container 305, the pressure sensor is sandwiched between the inner container 305 and the base 604 from the upper and lower sides, the pressure measured by the pressure sensor is the sum of the gravity of the liquid inside the inner container 305 and the components such as the inner container 305 and the housing 302, and the amount of change in the liquid can be calculated from the amount of change in the pressure value measured by the pressure sensor. The base 604 and the lower casing 304 are connected through a bottom seal 605, and the specific connection mode may be that the outer side of the bottom seal 605 is adhered to the lower casing 304, and the inner side of the bottom seal 605 is clamped with the base 604 (the bottom seal 605 may be annular, and one side of the bottom seal 605 closer to the central line of the inner container 305 is the inner side of the bottom seal 605); the bottom seal 605 can seal the gap between the base 604 and the lower housing part 304, thereby blocking external moisture from entering the inside of the cup 101 and avoiding short-circuiting of the electrically controlled components.

Referring to fig. 6 and 8, the bottom sealing member 605 can be deformed (for example, the bottom sealing member 605 is configured as a soft and deformable silicone ring), when the cup body 101 is placed on a plane, the base 604 is in contact with the plane, and since the bottom sealing member 605 can be deformed, the components such as the housing 302, the inner container 305, and the like can slightly move downward relative to the base 604 under the action of its own gravity, so as to ensure that the two sides of the pressure sensor 801 are clamped by the inner container 305 and the base 604, thereby ensuring that the pressure sensor 801 can effectively work.

The change in magnetic field generated when the transmitter coil is energized can cause the receiver coil 603 to generate a current, which can charge the power supply 602. For example, when the transmitting coil receives external ac power, a changing magnetic field is generated, and when the cup 101 is placed on the charging dock 102, the receiving coil 603 of the cup 101 is in the changing magnetic field generated by the transmitting coil, and based on the law of electromagnetic induction, the receiving coil 603 generates current. Referring to fig. 2, in order to position the cup 101 and prevent the cup 101 from shifting or tilting during charging, the charging stand 102 further has a charging receiving groove 201, and a portion of the cup 101 is received in the charging receiving groove 201; the side wall of the charge receiving groove 201 can abut against the outer wall surface of the shell 302 of the cup body, thereby hindering the cup body 101 from shifting or tilting.

The principle of calculating the water intake of the cup is briefly described below. First, the main control module 601 records the liquid amount measured by the liquid amount sensor at a certain time as the initial liquid amount. Then, when the user drinks water, the main control module 601 can know that the user is currently in a drinking state through an output signal of the touch sensor, the liquid amount sensor measures the liquid amount again after the liquid level returns to be stable, the loss amount of the water at this time can be calculated through the difference between the current liquid amount and the initial liquid amount, and the loss amount is the drinking water amount. However, if the water loss is not caused by drinking water (for example, a user pours a part of water), the mouth of the user does not contact the cup opening 401 during the water loss, and the output of the touch sensor does not change, the main control module 601 determines that the water loss is not caused by drinking water, and the water loss is not included in the calculation of the water consumption. Therefore, the water cup provided by the utility model can effectively identify the water loss caused by non-drinking water, and the calculation of the drinking water amount is more accurate; in addition, the cup body of the water cup is charged in a wireless charging mode, when the cup body needs to be charged, the cup body is placed on the charging seat 102, the charging can be interrupted by taking the cup body up, and the water cup is convenient to use.
