Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container for drinking water,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to sound capacity management, and more particularly, to a drinking container for displaying a sound capacity, and a sound capacity management apparatus and method using the same.

In recent years, interest in health has reached the peak of well-being. Good health care is based on eating a diet that is beneficial to the body, including proper exercise. Especially in recent years, water consumed by humans has been reexamined as a factor that has a great influence on health.

Water is the most important regulator of the body and the most important regulator in the body, which accounts for 70% of the body. Water plays a role in promoting blood and lymph flow and promoting metabolism in the body. In other words, water is the basic component of a water-soluble cytoplasm, which dissolves biomolecules and participates in chemical reactions, transporting nutrients and oxygen through the blood vessels throughout the body, and excretion of waste products and toxins through the kidneys. The activity of immune cells and immune substances is also achieved through the help of water. Water is the main reason for the health of the body.

The reason that water governs the health of our body is that water such as cerebrospinal fluid protects important organs and serves as a lubricant in acupuncture and joint synovial fluid and maintains electrolyte concentration, acid and alkali balance of body fluid, activation of enzyme, And so on. Good water excretes various environmental pollutants, food additives, carcinogens, etc. in vitro. Therefore, people who drink less water are more likely to get sick. If water can not penetrate into the cells of our body, the toxins will accumulate. In the worst case, the genes of cells can be damaged and become cancer cells. Drinking plenty of water will help to keep your skin moist and healthy, to keep your eyes and eyes, and to maintain the defense of your airways and prevent colds and other infections.

Thus, water is the basic constituent material for human homeostasis and maintenance of human life, and it constitutes the largest part of the constituent material of the human body. Water enables biochemical reactions and is a medium for transporting other materials and has the physical properties of absorbing and storing heat. In addition, water is able to maintain circulatory and cardiovascular function, and supplies various essential substances to cells and tissues and removes metabolic products. Significant water shortages in the human body can lead to disturbances in homeostasis, and in severe cases physiological metabolic functions are impaired and health problems arise.

In relation to this, the World Health Organization announced the recommended daily intake of water is 2.5 liters per adult male. It is said that the water in our body should drink at least 2.5L of water a day because about 2.5L a day is discharged from the body by urine, stool, sweat, breathing activities.

However, since people differ in gender, physique, and momentum, there is a difference in metabolism, and thus the average amount of water required varies considerably across individuals. In addition, even though water intake is important, it is almost impossible to check how much water is consumed daily by modern people living their busy lives. Therefore, it is necessary to study how to encourage appropriate amount of water for each individual.

Here, the plurality of detection sensors are disposed inside the drinking container at regular intervals in the lateral length direction of the drinking container. At this time, the detection sensor is a capacitance sensor, and detects a change in capacitance due to the amount of charge in the liquid filled in the container.

The level detecting unit analyzes the amount of charge input from the plurality of sensing sensors and determines the height of the sensing sensor disposed at the highest level among the sensing sensors where the amount of charge is sensed as the level of the beverage.
