Description

Intelligent liquid drinking counting and measuring device

The invention relates to a liquid container, in particular to a smart liquid drinking counting and measuring device.

According to the press, water is one of the necessary substances needed by the human body, but modern people often replace it with different beverages, but whether it is water or other beverages, the total amount of daily drinking is too much or insufficient, it is easy to cause adverse effects on the human body .

However, the most common container used to hold potable liquids (such as water or other potable beverages) in life is the cup.

When people drink liquid, they will pour the liquid into the cup and drink it one by one, but they cannot know whether the total amount of liquid is too much or insufficient, resulting in adverse effects on the body, such as too little water and stones , Fatigue, high blood concentration and other effects, and drinking too much coffee is likely to hinder the absorption of calcium and magnesium and easy to suffer from palpitations, hypokalemia and other effects, and drinking too much sugary drinks is easy to get obese, diabetes, fatty liver And other adverse effects.

The present invention is to improve the problem that the conventional cup cannot display the number and total amount of drinking liquid; therefore, the present invention provides a smart liquid counting and measuring device, which mainly includes: a cup body, with a container room for holding Liquid; a light-sensing unit is provided on the cup body, when the light-sensing unit is exposed to light, it will send a count signal outward; a weight-sensing unit is provided on the cup body for Sensing the weight of the liquid in the chamber and sending a weight signal outward; a control unit is provided on the cup body to receive the counting signal of the light sensing unit and the weight signal of the weight sensing unit and perform Calculate and display the value; to display the number and total amount of drinking liquid.

A smart liquid drinking counting and measuring device 100 provided by the first preferred embodiment of the present invention mainly includes a cup body 10, a light sensing unit 20, a weight sensing unit 30, a control unit 40 and a cup cover 50 ,among them;

Please refer to the first to third figures. The cup body 10 has a cup body 11 and a handle 12. The cup body 11 is made in one piece. The top of the cup body 11 extends from top to bottom with an open chamber 111. The bottom of the cup body 11 has a cup bottom recessed area 112 which is recessed in the center. A cup bottom flange 113 protruding from the periphery of the cup bottom recessed area 112 is convex; the handle 12 is coupled to the outer side of the cup body for the user's hand to hold.

The light-sensing unit 20 is disposed on the cup body 10 and is located in the bottom concave region 112 of the cup body 11. When the light-sensing unit 20 receives light, it sends a count signal outward.

The weight sensing unit 30 is disposed on the cup body 10 and is located at the bottom of the container chamber 111 of the cup body 11 to sense the weight it bears and transmit a weight signal to the outside.

The control unit 40 is disposed on the outer side of the cup body 10. The control unit 40 has a processor 41 and a display interface 42. The processor 41 is used to receive the count signal transmitted by the light sensing unit 20 and the weight signal transmitted by the weight sensing unit 30. The processor 41 also has built-in various calculation modes for different liquids, The display interface 42 is electrically connected to the processor 41. The display interface 42 has a display 421 and a plurality of buttons 422. The display 421 is used to display the result calculated by the processor 41, and the buttons 422 It can be used to control the power on and off and select the type of liquid, etc. (because different liquids have different densities, the device has built-in different liquid density values for users to choose to calculate weight).

The cup cover 50 can be used to cover the top of the cup body 10 to close the chamber 111 to prevent foreign objects from entering the chamber 111, maintaining the liquid temperature in the chamber 111, and preventing the chamber 111 The liquid inside evaporates.

Therefore, the above are the various components of the intelligent liquid drinking counting and measuring device 100 and their assembling methods provided by the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, and then the use characteristics of the present invention are described as follows:

First, after the user loads the liquid into the chamber 111 of the cup 10, the user can select the type of liquid in the button 422 of the control unit 40 (the available liquid types can be water, juice, wine , Coffee, tea or other... etc.), the selected liquid type will correspond to different calculation modes, the calculation mode is based on "volume x density = weight", and the density will vary according to the type of liquid .

Therefore, when the user lifts the cup 10 to drink the liquid, the light sensing unit 20 receives the light and transmits a count signal to the processor 41 of the control unit 40, and the weight sensing unit 30 senses The weight signal of the change in liquid weight will also be sent to the processor 41. When the processor 41 receives the count signal of the light sensing unit 20, and the received weight signal is a weight reduction, the processing unit 41 records as drinking once and displays it on the display 421. And the processor 41 will adopt the corresponding calculation mode according to the type of liquid selected by the user to calculate the volume of the liquid consumed this time and display it on the display 421.

In this way, no matter what kind of beverage the user is drinking, the present invention can calculate and record the number of times of drinking, the amount of liquid drinking and the time of drinking, as a basis for individuals to replenish water, to prevent the occurrence of too little or too much water. Of course, the records and displays of the present invention can also be used to prevent whether alcohol, sugar-sweetened beverages, coffee, etc. are overdrinking.

In addition, although the display interface in this embodiment includes a display and buttons. But in fact, the display interface can also be integrated into a touch screen to achieve a common interface for display and operation.

Please refer to the fourth figure, which is a smart liquid drinking counting and measuring device 200 according to the second preferred embodiment of the present invention, which includes a cup 10, a light sensing unit 20, and a weight sensor in the same way as the previous embodiment The measuring unit 30, a control unit 40 and a cup cover 50, but the main differences between this embodiment and the previous embodiment are:

In this embodiment, the weight sensing unit 30 is disposed on the cup body 10 and located at the bottom of the cup bottom flange 113. Therefore, the weight signal sent by the weight sensing unit 30 includes the weight of the liquid and the sum of the weight of the cup 10, the light sensing unit 20 and the control unit 40, and the control unit 40 will first calculate the cup 10, the light The weights of the sensing unit 20 and the control unit 40 are eliminated (ie, subtracted) to achieve accuracy in calculation.

Although the position of the weight sensing unit 30 is different in this embodiment, it can still achieve the same effect as the previous embodiment.

The above disclosures are only the preferred embodiments provided by the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes made by those skilled in the art according to the present invention should belong to the present invention. Coverage.
