Description

Smart water bottle {smart water bottle}

The present invention relates to a smart water bottle, and more specifically to a smart water bottle that can induce a user to continuously consume water.

It is known that 70% of the human body is composed of water (moisture), and the water we drink every day is closely related to the health of the human body. Because water is quickly absorbed into the body, the water we drink is delivered to all parts of the body within 30 minutes.

If even 1% of the water in your body disappears, you will feel severe thirst and pain, and if it is insufficient, it can cause dehydration or coma. Therefore, as it is known that approximately 2L of water is excreted per day, you must continuously consume water at this level to maintain a clean and healthy body.

Meanwhile, modern people often use water containers to easily and conveniently consume water, and conventional water containers generally consist of a lid and a body and are limited to simply storing water.

Therefore, because conventional water bottles do not provide direct feedback to the user, there is a problem in that busy modern people do not continuously consume water.

For example, Patent Document 1 relates to a portable water container that includes a water container body in which water is stored and a sterilization module that irradiates sterilizing ultraviolet rays into the interior of the water container body.

However, although the above-mentioned conventional technology has the advantage of being able to sterilize water due to the sterilization module and is easy to carry, the above-described invention has a problem in that it cannot induce the user to continuously consume water. This remains.

A mounting groove 611 is formed so that it can be seated. In other words, when the storage groove 610 and the mounting groove 611 are viewed from the side, they are formed in steps.

Accordingly, the mounting groove 611 is formed with a diameter equal to the outer diameter of the seating groove 400, and the receiving groove 610 is formed with a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the mounting groove 611. In addition, of course, the depth of the storage groove 610 is formed at various lengths depending on the item being stored.

In summary, the storage box 600 is formed to be larger than the outer diameter of the seating portion 400, so that the smart water bottle 10 can be mounted more stably on the floor using the storage groove 610. Thus, items can be stored inside, and the mounting groove 611 and the seating portion 400 are selectively detachable, so there is an advantage that items can be easily and easily taken out of the storage groove 610.

As such, a person skilled in the art will understand that the technical configuration of the present invention described above can be implemented in other specific forms without changing the technical idea or essential features of the present invention.

Therefore, the embodiments described above should be understood in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is indicated by the claims described later rather than the detailed description above, and the meaning and scope of the claims and their All changes or modified forms derived from the equivalent concept should be construed as falling within the scope of the present invention.
