The weight sensor 410 is accommodated below the heating pad 420 between the weight sensor upper pedestal 411 and the weight sensor lower pedestal 412 and measures the weight of the bottle. The heating pad 420 warms the mounted bottle. A temperature sensor 430 is coupled to a side of the bottle receiving part 340 to sense the temperature of the bottle and a status LED 440 located below the temperature sensor 430 indicates a state of the bottle warmer 110. The LED bar 450 on the day is a bar-shaped LED with 10 small blocks. The power switch 460 controls the power supply. The MCU controller 470 processes the output values of the weight sensor 410 and the temperature sensor 430 and controls the heating pad 420 and the status LED 440 and the LED feed bar 450 on the same day, 480 in order to transmit data to the gateway 140. The rechargeable battery 490 supplies power.

Fig. 2 is a block diagram schematically showing a configuration of a preferred embodiment of a bottle thermometer capable of measuring weight according to the present invention. The sensor unit 210, the heating unit 220, the communication unit 230, the control unit 240, the output unit 250, and the power supply unit 260 are provided inside the bottle warmer. The sensor unit includes a weight sensor 410 and a temperature sensor 430. When the bottle is placed in the bottle receiving part, the weight is sensed through the weight sensor. Then, the temperature of the bottle is sensed through the temperature sensor, and weight information and temperature information are transmitted to the controller 240. In the heating part 220, When the temperature of the bottle is less than 37 degrees Celsius, the heating pad 420 starts to generate heat. The control unit is an MCU (Micro Controller Unit), which can be used for most Bluetooth communication chips. Otherwise, a separate microprocessor is provided to perform the functions of the control unit. The communication unit 230 wirelessly transmits weight information, temperature information, and time information from the control unit to the gateway. The communication unit 230 wirelessly transmits data such as data (e.g., data) through one of Bluetooth, Zigbee, Wi- . The output unit 250 includes a status LED 440 and an LED bar 450 for indicating the amount of feeding of the same day. When the heating pad is heated in the bottle warmer, a red light is output to the status LED. When the temperature of the bottle is appropriate, Is output. Then, the amount of feeding is confirmed on the same day through the control unit, and the amount of feeding is displayed through the LED bar 450 indicating the amount of milk on the same day. The first stage on the LED bar means 10% of the appropriate feed per day. The power supply unit 260 supplies power through the rechargeable battery to the portable bottle warmer. When the bottle warmer is not used, the power supply unit 460 is provided in the process of supplying power from the power supply unit to the control unit to prevent discharge. do.

A portable thermometer 110, a portable device 120, a server 130, and a gateway 140. In one embodiment, when detecting an event that a bottle is stuck in a bottle warmer, the bottle warmer 110 may deliver weight information, temperature information, and time information to the gateway 140 or the portable device 120 or server 130 And the bottle warmer can store weight information, temperature information, and time information.

4 is an exemplary view of a preferred embodiment of a bottle warmer capable of weighing according to the present invention. When the user places the bottle 320 on the bottle receiving part 340 of the bottle warmer and the portable device 300 is stably mounted on the portable device rest 310 and outputs the feeding information to the portable device display 310 FIG. And receives the feeding information to the portable device through the communication unit 230 and outputs the feeding information to the display of the portable device in real time.

FIG. 5 is a flow chart of a user's feeding information storage in a preferred embodiment of the weight measuring bottle-warming apparatus of the present invention. (S110), the baby bottle warmer senses the weight of the baby bottle and the temperature of the baby bottle (S111), and then detects the user's feeding start event (S112) do. The feeding initiation event may generate an event in response to the user's motion, voice, or clicking on the start feeding button on the mobile device. Next, the weight information, temperature information, and time information of the detected bottle are stored (S 120) at the start of the lactation (S 120), and the user separates the bottle from the bottle warmer (S 121) and feeds the baby to the baby (S 122). After the feeding is completed and the feeding end event is detected (S123), the weight information, temperature information and start information of the bottle placed on the bottle warmer (S130) are stored as the feeding end point (S131) .

Although the preferred embodiments of the bottle warmer and the lactation management method using the bottle warmer according to the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto, but may be applied to the claims, the detailed description of the invention, It is possible to carry out various modifications within the scope of the present invention.
