Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The invention relates to a smart temperature conservation container, and more particularly to a smart temperature conservation container capable of providing related information of liquid inside a temperature conservation container to a user.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Temperatures of drink contained inside cups (bottles) in the past may quickly change due to generated heat or absorbed heat after placing them for a while at normal temperature, and such temperatures are gradually close to outside temperature to achieve the state of temperature balancing finally. Therefore, someone provides a temperature container, by utilizing heat insulation, that prevents heat of inside drink from being cooled down due to dissipation or being raised due to exterior heat absorption so that drink contained in the temperature conservation container can be retained for long term condition at warming/hot or cold state, and the cups (bottles) bodies are no need to be frequently placed in a refrigerator for conservation and are no need to be reheated by a heating device, thus reducing consumed energy required by changing temperature of drink again.
- Although the vacuum bottles can provide certain temperature conservation effect, the drink therein can be gradually cooled down in accordance with time. Moreover, normal temperature conservation containers do not provide related information of inside temperature of the temperature conservation container to the user. Consequently, the user may not obtain current temperature of the drink to determine whether or not the drink can be drunk, resulting in carelessly scald when the user drinks. it
- Therefore, upon the foregoing problems of prior art, it is an objective of the present invention to provide a smart temperature conservation container, and more particularly to the smart temperature conservation container capable of providing related information of liquid inside a temperature conservation container to a user.
- To achieve the foregoing objective, the smart temperature conservation container according to the invention comprises a container main body, a cover body, at least a display unit, a temperature sensor, a controller and a power supply module. A containing space inside the container main body can contain liquid. The cover body is disposed to the container main body to seal the containing space. The display unit, the temperature sensor, the controller and the power supply module can be disposed to the container main body.
- The temperature sensor can perform temperature sensing for liquid contained in the containing space to generate a signal, and the signal is transmitted to the controller so that the display unit can perform correspondingly display to allow the user to obtain temperature of liquid contained in the temperature conservation container.
- The detailed structure, operating principle and effects of the present invention will now be described in more details hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings that show various embodiments of the invention as follows.
-
FIG. 1 is a structural three-dimensional diagram of a temperature conservation container according to the invention; -
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a temperature conservation container according to the invention; -
FIG. 3 is another structural three-dimensional diagram of a temperature conservation container according to the invention; -
FIG. 4 is another block diagram of a temperature conservation container according to the invention; - The technical content of the present invention will become apparent by the detailed description of the following embodiments and the illustration of related drawings as follows.
- With reference to
FIG. 1 for a three-dimensional diagram of a temperature conservation container according to the invention andFIG. 2 for a block diagram of a temperature conservation container according to the invention are depicted. Thetemperature conservation container 1 according to the invention comprises a containermain body 10, acover body 20, at least adisplay unit 30, atemperature sensor 40, acontroller 50 and apower supply module 60. - The container
main body 10 has a containingspace 11 and anopening 12 communicating with the containingspace 11. The containingspace 11 can contain liquid. - The
cover body 20 can cover theopening 12 of the containermain body 10 and thedisplay unit 30 form a display effect toward the exterior of the containermain body 10, wherein thedisplay unit 30 can be a liquid crystal display, a flexible display or a seven-stage display (as shown inFIG. 3 ). - The
temperature sensor 40 is disposed to the containermain body 10 and could perform temperature sensing for liquid contained in the containingspace 11 to generate signals. - The
controller 50 is disposed to the containermain body 10 to respectively connect thedisplay unit 30 and thetemperature sensor 40 to receive the signal. The signal is further transmitted to thedisplay unit 30 to perform correspondingly display. A connector (not shown in the figure) is further disposed between thedisplay unit 30 and thecontroller 50 to connect the display unit and the controller. - The
power supply module 60 is disposed to the containermain body 10 to connect thecontroller 50 to supply power source, wherein thepower supply module 60 is disposed with at least abattery 61 and acharging insertion slot 62 connected to thebattery 61. Thecharging insertion slot 62 is exposed to the containermain body 10. In the embodiment, thecharging insertion slot 62 is an universal series bus (USB). - When the container
main body 10 contains liquid, thetemperature sensor 40 can perform temperature sensing for the liquid contained inside the containingspace 11 to generate a signal. The signal is transmitted to thedisplay unit 30 through thecontroller 50 to perform correspondingly display. For example, a measured temperature value (i.e. 55 degrees Celsius) can be directly displayed, or the seven-segment display can be utilized as a display unit for displaying temperatures so that the user can determine whether or not the current temperature of the liquid inside the temperature conservation container is too hot to prevent the user from being scaled while in drinking. - Moreover, the
controller 50 is further connected to a start-up unit 70 as shown inFIG. 4 . The start-up unit 70 is disposed to the container main body (not shown in the figure). An external signal is received by the start-up unit 70 to allow thepower supply module 60 supplying power or not through the control of thecontroller 50, thereby achieving power saving effect. The start-up unit 70 can be an optical sensor for generating the signal to enable thepower supply module 60 supplying power to thedisplay unit 30 for normally emitting light and displaying when ambient light is not good enough. Of course, the start-up unit 70 can also be a gravity directional sensor or a touch sensor. - While the means of specific embodiments showing a preferable and feasible smart temperature conservation container according to the present invention has been described by reference drawings, numerous modifications and variations could be made thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention set forth in the claims. The modifications and variations should in a range limited by the specification of the present invention.
