Water intake amount management device

Abstract

A water intake amount management device includes a cup body and a cup cover. The cup body is used to store water, and includes at least one communicating tube and at least one float. The communicating tube is in communication with the stored water. The float is disposed in the communicating tube, and floats on a surface of the stored water. The cup cover is combined with the cup body, and includes a man-machine control interface. When driven, the man-machine control interface senses a distance between the cup cover and the float, converts the distance to a plurality of water amount values, calculates a water intake amount according to the plurality of water amount values, and prompts a user according to the water intake amount.

1 . A water intake amount management device, comprising:
 a cup body, for storing water, and comprising:   at least one communicating tube, in communication with the stored water; and   at least one float, disposed in the communicating tube and floating on a surface of the stored water; and   a cup cover, combined with the cup body, and comprising a man-machine control interface, wherein when driven, the man-machine control interface is used to sense a distance between the cup cover and the float, convert the distance to a plurality of water amount values, calculate a water intake amount according to the plurality of water amount values, and prompt a user according to the water intake amount.   
     
     
         2 . The water intake amount management device according to  claim 1 , wherein the man-machine control interface comprises:
 at least one distance sensing module, sensing the distance between the cup cover and the float in a non-contact sensing manner;   a timer, for calculating time;   a memory, storing a plurality of time values and a plurality of corresponding suggested water intake amounts;   a controller, receiving and converting the distance to the water amount values, wherein when driven, the controller converts the plurality of received water amount values to a time interval and the corresponding water intake amount, and prompts the user after comparing the water intake amount and the time interval with the suggested water intake amount and the time value in the memory;   a press key module, for enabling the user to input a parameter value;   a display module, for displaying water intake amount information;   an alarming module, for generating a alarming effect to prompt the user; and   a power source module, for providing an electric power required by operation of the distance sensing module, the timer, the memory, the controller, the press key module, the display module, and the alarming module.   
     
     
         3 . The water intake amount management device according to  claim 2 , wherein the parameter value comprises a water drinking time, a current time, an age, a weight, a gender, diseases, and a standard water intake amount. 
     
     
         4 . The water intake amount management device according to  claim 2 , wherein the water intake amount information comprises a single water intake amount and a cumulative water intake amount. 
     
     
         5 . The water intake amount management device according to  claim 1 , wherein a hole is opened in the cup cover. 
     
     
         6 . The water intake amount management device according to  claim 5 , comprising a straw passing through the hole of the cup cover, such that the user sucks the water in the cup body. 
     
     
         7 . The water intake amount management device according to  claim 1 , wherein the non-contact sensing manner is infrared sensing, laser sensing, or ultrasonic sensing. 
     
     
         8 . The water intake amount management device according to  claim 1 , wherein the communicating tube is formed on an inner wall of the cup body. 
     
     
         9 . The water intake amount management device according to  claim 1 , wherein a top end of the communicating tube is connected to the cup cover. 
     
     
         10 . The water intake amount management device according to  claim 1 , wherein an exhaust port is opened on a top end of the communicating tube. 
     
     
         11 . The water intake amount management device according to  claim 1 , wherein the float is an inverted cone structure.
