Definitions

  • the invention relates to a beverage container.
  • Beverage containers especially reusable beverage containers, are becoming increasingly popular.
  • beverage containers are available and can be used in many designs, colors and even personalized. They also make it possible to carry hot drinks, such as coffee or tea, as well as cold drinks, such as water or soft drinks, with you in a leak-proof manner and consume them almost anywhere.
  • Such a beverage container usually has a cup with a wall that defines an interior. The interior serves to hold the beverage. Furthermore, known beverage containers have a lid that is removably arranged on an opening of the cup.
  • fitness data can also include the amount of fluid consumed over a certain period of time.
  • a beverage container according to the preamble of claim 1 is known.
  • the US 2020/0029714 A1 shows a "smart water bottle" with UV light sources for sterilizing the water contained in it.
  • a beverage container has a control unit with a wireless communication unit in a lid for data communication with a mobile terminal, wherein detected liquid quantities are also transmitted to the terminal.
  • sensors can trigger a sterilization operation using the UV light sources. These sensors can also include a water quality sensor, which is designed, for example, to detect a bacterial concentration of the water contained in the container in order to trigger UV sterilization of this water or to provide the user with a chemical profile of the water quality.
  • the invention is based on the object of specifying a beverage container with the help of which health data can be provided to a user in a very simple manner.
  • a beverage container that has a cup and a lid.
  • the cup has an inner wall that delimits a receiving space for liquid that is open on the top of the cup.
  • the cup also has an outer wall, with an intermediate space that is also open on the top being formed between the inner wall and the outer wall. In other words, the cup is double-walled.
  • the lid is detachably arranged on the top of the cup in such a way that it seals an interior opening and an intermediate space opening in a fluid-tight manner so that no liquid can leak out during transport or if the filled beverage container falls over.
  • liquid can be understood to mean beverages in general and, for example but not restrictively, the hot or cold beverages mentioned above.
  • a sensor unit is arranged in the lid.
  • the sensor unit is used to detect the amount of liquid that a user amount of liquid taken. In other words, the sensor unit records the amount of liquid drunk by the user.
  • the beverage container has a wireless communication unit which is designed to form a data connection with a mobile terminal of the user and to transmit the detected amount of liquid to the mobile terminal of the user for evaluation.
  • the mobile device can generally be understood as an electronic communications device or a (portable) computer.
  • the mobile device can be a cell phone (smartphone), a tablet or a personal digital assistant (PDA).
  • the data connection can be a well-known short-range data connection, such as Bluetooth. This enables the greatest possible compatibility between the beverage container and the user's mobile devices.
  • the evaluation can be carried out, for example, by a fitness or health app that puts the recorded value in relation to a recommended amount of liquid and informs the user accordingly whether and/or when they have drunk enough.
  • the user therefore always knows how much liquid they have already consumed per unit of time, for example per day, and how much they should still drink.
  • the evaluation can also be designed in such a way that the user is reminded to drink via notification. This recording and evaluation takes place completely automatically while the user is drinking from the beverage container, as the amount of liquid drunk flows through the sensor unit beforehand. The user therefore does not have to record or enter the amount drunk manually.
  • the sensor unit is further configured to detect organic pollutants in the user's saliva, in particular bacteria and/or viruses and/or at least one vital value that can be derived from the user's saliva.
  • the wireless communication unit is also configured to transmit this detected data to the user's mobile device for evaluation.
  • the idea behind the detection of such organic pollutants is to warn the user if their saliva contains an increased level of pollutants (e.g. an increased number of bacteria and/or viruses). This can be a sign of impending illness, for example.
  • the evaluation and warning of the user can be carried out, for example, by means of and through the aforementioned Fitness Health app, which is stored on the user's mobile device.
  • the at least one vital sign can, for example, not only be the (blood) sugar level, the recording and evaluation of which is particularly relevant for diabetics.
  • other similarly derived vital signs can also be recorded.
  • the advantage of this design lies in the expanded recording of parameters that allow the user to easily obtain information about his or her state of health and/or diet.
  • the cup and/or the lid has an electrical energy storage device.
  • the electrical energy storage device which is preferably designed as a battery, serves to supply the sensor unit and/or the wireless communication unit with electrical energy.
  • the cup has a charging element for wired and/or wireless charging of the electrical energy storage device.
  • wireless charging can be understood here to mean, for example, inductive charging.
  • the charging element can be arranged in the base of the cup, for example, so that the beverage container is placed on an inductive charging station for charging, similar to the inductive charging of today's smartphones.
  • the charging element is designed for wired charging of the electrical energy storage device.
  • the cover has a display element to show the The charging status of the electrical energy storage device is shown.
  • this can be an LED that lights up green, for example, when the charging status of the electrical energy storage device is still sufficient. If the LED lights up red, for example, this is an indication of a low charging status and the beverage container should be charged according to the options above.
  • the charge level of the electrical energy storage device can also be transmitted to the user's mobile device via the wireless communication unit so that the user can check the charge level of the electrical energy storage device on the mobile device.
  • the display element can also be used to visualize the established data connection, i.e. when the beverage container has successfully connected to the mobile device.
  • the display element can light up in another color, for example blue.
  • the lid has a tubular mouthpiece in which the sensor unit is arranged.
  • the mouthpiece makes it easier to drink from the beverage container and to record the amount of liquid drunk.
  • the lid has a lid flap and a folding mechanism.
  • the folding mechanism is a hinge.
  • the lid flap is mounted on the folding mechanism so that it can pivot from a closed position to an open position and vice versa.
  • the mouthpiece By "folding up” the lid flap, the mouthpiece, for example, becomes accessible so that the user can drink through it.
  • the mouthpiece is protected from dirt by the folded-down lid flap, e.g. when transporting the beverage container.
  • the folding mechanism and the communication unit are designed in such a way that the data connection with the user's mobile device is established when the lid flap is swung from the closed position to the open position. This means that the data connection is only established when it also transmits recorded values. and on the other hand, the usage time per charge of the electrical energy storage device is extended because the data connection is not permanently active.
  • the sensor unit has a turbine sensor or an ultrasonic sensor for detecting the amount of liquid removed.
  • a turbine sensor With a turbine sensor, the liquid flows through a turbine-like component that is mounted so that it can rotate. As the liquid flows through, the turbine-like component is set in rotation and activates a counter that uses the revolutions to determine the amount of liquid that has flowed through the sensor.
  • Such types of flow sensors for detecting liquid quantities are available on the open market in various variants and designs, which simplifies the structure or configuration of the beverage container.
  • the cup and/or the lid In order to reuse the beverage container and to make it easier to transport, the cup and/or the lid have a plastic or the cup and/or the lid are made of a plastic.
  • This can be a plastic commonly used in the beverage industry and especially in the manufacture of beverage containers.
  • the use of plastic also means that the beverage container is better protected against damage (for example from impact with the ground) than fragile materials such as porcelain.
  • the cup has a volume in the range of 0.2l to 1.5l, preferably in the range between 0.5l and 1l and in particular with a value of 0.75l.
  • a further aspect within the scope of this application is a beverage cup, wherein a filling liquid and removable filling elements are arranged in the intermediate space.
  • the filling liquid can, for example, be a heat and/or cold insulating liquid, so that liquids filled into the cup are kept warm or cold.
  • the filling elements can be, for example, visually appealing figures that the user can use to personalize the beverage container.
  • the filling elements are arranged in the filling liquid in an interchangeable manner.
  • the density of the filling elements preferably has a value that means they neither float to the surface, i.e. towards the opening, nor to the bottom of the cup. In other words, the filling elements "float" in the filling liquid.
  • the outer wall of the cup is designed to be transparent so that the filling elements are visible from the outside.
  • the filling elements are designed differently in their shape and/or size, which leads to a greater possibility of variation by the user.
  • Fig.1 is a longitudinal section through an embodiment of the beverage container 2 according to the invention.
  • the beverage container 2 has a cup 4 with an inner wall 6.
  • the inner wall 6 delimits a receiving space 8 for liquid that is open on an upper side O of the cup 4.
  • the cup 4 has an outer wall 10. Between the inner wall 6 and the outer wall 10, a gap 12 is formed, which is also open at the top O.
  • the beverage container 2 has a lid 14 which is removably arranged on the top of the cup 4 in such a way that it closes a receiving space opening 16 and an intermediate space opening 18.
  • a sensor unit 20 is arranged in the lid 14 for detecting the amount of liquid removed from the cup 4 by a user.
  • the lid 14 is also shown in a closed position.
  • the lid 14 For closing and opening, i.e. moving the lid 14 from a closed position to an open position, the lid 14 has a lid flap 22 and a folding mechanism 24 (which is shown in the figures only in a very simplified manner as a hinge), wherein the lid flap 22 is pivotally mounted on the folding mechanism 24 in order to be able to assume the previously mentioned positions.
  • the lid 14 has a wireless communication unit 26, which is shown only as a rectangle for the sake of simplicity.
  • the wireless communication unit 26 is set up to form a data connection with a mobile terminal 28 (also shown only as a rectangle in a simplified manner).
  • the data connection is shown or indicated schematically in the figures by the dashed arrow.
  • the wireless communication unit 26 and the data connection formed by it also serve to transmit the recorded, removed amount of liquid to the user's mobile terminal 28 for evaluation.
  • the cover 14 has an electrical energy storage device 30, which is also shown in a simplified form as a rectangle.
  • the electrical energy storage device 30 serves to supply the sensor unit 20 and/or the wireless communication unit 26 with electrical energy.
  • the cup 4 has a charging element 32, which in this embodiment is designed as a wireless charging element for inductive charging of the electrical energy storage device 30.
  • the cup 4 or the lid 14 can also have a charging element 32 for wired charging of the electrical energy storage device 30.
  • the charging element 32 is in the Embodiment arranged in the bottom of the cup 4, so that it is sufficient to simply place the cup 4 on an inductive charging station provided for this purpose in order to charge the electrical energy storage device 30.
  • the cover further comprises a display element 34, which in the exemplary embodiment is designed as an LED.
  • a filling liquid (not shown in the figures) is arranged in the intermediate space 12, in which filling elements 36 that can be removed from this liquid are arranged.
  • the filling elements 36 are shown in the figures as crescents.
  • the filling elements 36 serve to individualize the beverage container 2 and are visible due to a preferably transparent, i.e. see-through design of the outer wall 10.
  • the filling elements 36 can be removed from the filling liquid when the lid 14 is completely removed and replaced, for example, by other filling elements 36 in order to enable the above-mentioned individualization.
  • Fig.2 is also the longitudinal section through the embodiment of the beverage container 2 according to the invention according to Fig.1 shown.
  • This representation essentially corresponds to the illustration described above, so that in order to avoid repetition, only the differences are referred to below.
  • Fig.2 As can be seen, the cover 14 and in particular the cover flap 22 is in the open position. In other words, the cover flap 22 is in the illustration according to Fig.2 opened upwards.
