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.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This non-provisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a) to Patent Application No(s). 097151829 filed in Taiwan, R.O.C. on Dec. 31, 2008, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a liquid flow management device, and more particularly to a water intake amount management device.[0004]2. Related Art[0005]Human body is composed of various substances, in which water occupies the largest amount. The percentage of water in the body is different by reason of the age, gender, and obesity degree. For example, for an obese female adult, the percentage is 45 percent, and for a thin infant, the percentage is 80 percent. For male adults, the average percentage of water in the body is approximately 60 percent, which is higher than that of female adults (50 percent). The percentage of water in the body of an infant is 70 ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0010]In view of the above problem, the present invention is a water intake amount management device, which is capable of measuring, recording, and displaying water intake amount information of each time of a human body, so as to prevent diseases and manage health conditions, and is capable of prompting a user to complement water content for the body at proper time and with a proper amount, thereby achieving a correct water drinking concept and manner.

Problems solved by technology

The percentage of water in the body of an infant is 70 percent, so the water loss in the infant body relatively easily results in complications.

The water out of the cells, for example, blood is one of the well-known body fluids, and the rapid loss of blood may be fatal.

When the capability of tending to be balanced is obstructed, pathological phenomena may occur.

Many medical researches prove that drinking more water is beneficial to physiological circulation and metabolism, but if excessive water is drunk, the water content in the body cannot be properly adjusted, such that the electrolyte of the body fluid is unbalanced.

However, the patent still needs improvement.

Therefore, it is a problem to be solved by the researchers to provide a water intake amount management device.
