[Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a portable beverage valley capable of displaying a digital temperature state. The special 7 ^ refers to a portable beverage container capable of displaying a digital temperature state, which is accurate and clear. It shows the advantages and functions of temperature status, high safety, and operation in a light environment. [Prior art] _ 2 Refer to the first figure. This is a traditional milk bottle with a mercury thermometer. The structure includes a pacifier 91 ', a bottle body 92, and a mercury thermometer 93 embedded in the bottle body 92.

In use, when a baby wants to drink milk, since the hot milk in the bottle body 92 will transmit the temperature to the mercury thermometer 93 and make the mercury thermometer 93 not show the temperature of the hot milk, the user ( It is usually the baby's parents or aunt or mother). You can observe the scale to determine whether the milk is too hot. However, the traditional bottle with a mercury thermometer still has the following disadvantages:

[1] It is not easy to observe the scale of the thermometer when crawling milk in the middle of the night. Baby babies often need to feed in the middle of the night in the months after birth. However, when the user climbs up on the night, the drowsiness is still heavy, and it is easy to confuse the milk, especially when he sleeps. The small scale of the thermometer is likely to miss the temperature, so it is easy to burn to the baby. [2] Mercury in mercury thermometers is toxic. When silver babies drink milk, they will inevitably accidentally slide the bottle to the ground ’or the baby will push or move the milk bottle next to it and fall to the ground. In this case, the bottle may be broken. However, because mercury is toxic,

Page 6 1244458 V. Description of the invention (3) ------ Power required for circuit and digital display components. The above objects and advantages of the present invention can be easily understood from the detailed description and accompanying drawings of selected embodiments described below. The following examples and the drawings are used to explain the present invention in detail: [Embodiment] The present invention is a type that can display the digital temperature state—the portable beverage capacity is' as shown in the second to fourth figures, The system includes: a beverage container and a digital temperature indicator.

The beverage container 10 has a liquid storage portion i 丨 and a shell portion i2. In this embodiment, the beverage container is a baby bottle. The digital temperature display 20 is fixed on the shell portion 12 and has: ′,

(a) —The temperature sensing element 21 is used to detect the temperature status of the beverage 1 3 in the liquid storage section 丨 丨 and output an analog temperature value 2 11 (refer to the fifth figure). In practice, the The temperature sensing element 21 may be a thermistor or the like. When the temperature changes, its resistance value changes accordingly. As shown in the third and fourth figures, the temperature sensing element 21 is clamped in the fixing hole 121 of the shell portion 12 and can directly contact the beverage 13. Of course, it is not necessary to touch the drink 13 (as shown in the sixth figure). (b) —The temperature sensing circuit 2 2 ′ reads the analog temperature value 211 detected by the temperature sensing element 21 and converts it into a digital temperature value 221. (c) A signal processing circuit 23 that processes the digital temperature value 221 and determines the temperature range, and then outputs a digital temperature status signal 2 3 1 which is selected from among numbers, characters and symbols. At least one

Page 7 1244458 V. Description of the invention (4). For example, 'in the present embodiment', in order to avoid the injury of a small baby who drinks milk, when the temperature exceeds a predetermined temperature (for example, 40 degrees or other specific temperature), it is determined as "not suitable", otherwise it is "Suitable for". (d) — digital display element 24, which reads the digital temperature status signal 231 and displays it; the digital display element 24 can be a commercially available small liquid crystal display or a cold light display panel, and includes at least a digital portion 2 4¾ (Can display, for example: degrees Celsius) and a text section 24B (can display, for example: HOT (ie, overheating) or 0K (ie, suitable)). (e) —Energy source 25, which is the power required to supply the temperature sensing circuit 2 2, the signal processing circuit 23, and the digital display element 24. This energy source 25 is implemented with a battery ', especially a small battery. Or a solar cell (see Figure 7) so that as long as there is a sufficient amount of light, electricity can be generated. In practice, the digital temperature status signal 2 3 1 is at least one selected from the group consisting of numbers, characters, and symbols. Among them, the text includes at least the meaning of temperature and appropriate temperature. , "〇κ" (meaning yes) or three-level "too cold", "suitable more. For example: the text part shows whether it is suitable or not suitable for" HOT "(meaning hot); of course, if it is divided", "too hot" Or equivalent

With the combination of the above elements, when the user brews milk, the beverage j 3 (ie, the hot milk) will transfer the heat to the temperature sensing element 2 1 (whether directly or indirectly) and output an analog temperature value 211 (for example, 1 35 /). After that, the temperature sensing circuit 22 reads the analog temperature value 2Π of the temperature sensing element 21 to and converts it into a digital temperature value 221 (,

Page 8 1244458 V. Description of the invention (5) For example, 36 degrees Celsius). Then the signal processing circuit 23 processes the temperature value 221 and discriminates the temperature range, and outputs a digital temperature status signal 23 1 which is selected from a number (degrees Celsius), text ("suitable" or "Not suitable"; "0K" or "Ηοτ", etc.), symbols (normal symbols or endless symbols) one or more of them. _ So ‘When the temperature of the hot milk in the beverage container of the present invention is too high, one of the temperature, suitability, or both is displayed. In addition, the present invention is not limited to being applied to a baby bottle, but can be extended to a portable beverage container, such as a coffee cup (shown in Figure 8), a tea cup (not shown in the figure), and the like. If the energy source 25 is a solar cell, and the digital display element 24 is provided with a number.卩 2 4 A and Wen Zibu 2 4 B, when you wake up in the middle of the night to make milk or drink, as long as there is a suitable amount of light, that is, the solar cell will start 24, and the digitized digital or text part, or the beverage The brewing temperature is quite convenient. In summary, the advantages and effects of the present invention can be summarized as follows: [1] The temperature state can be accurately and clearly displayed. The invention directly converts the temperature state into numbers (that is, degrees), characters or symbols, so users can see at a glance, and even if they are milking in the middle of the night when they are drowsy, they can still directly observe whether the temperature is too high. It is the trouble of looking at the small scale carefully. [2] High security. Since the present invention does not have mercury in the traditional structure, in case of accidentally breaking the beverage container, there is no need to worry about accidentally hurting the side.
