Smart cap for a liquid container
A smart cap for use with a liquid container and a system therefor is disclosed herein. The components of the smart cap preferably comprise a micro motor, a microcontroller, a wireless transceiver (BTLE), a lithium ion battery, LED indicators, a waterproof rated charging port, a nozzle quick connect, a controllable valve, a touch sensor, a thermal sensor, a physical button, an impeller, and a cap housing.
1. A cap for a liquid container, the cap comprising:
a cap housing;
a battery within the cap housing;
an electric motor pump connected to the cap housing and connected to the battery;
a circuit board within the cap housing;
a Hall effect sensor within the cap housing;
a toggle valve within the cap housing;
a pressure sensor on a surface of the cap housing; and
an embedded magnet for activation of the Hall effect sensor;
wherein the electric motor pump expels a liquid;
wherein the Hall effect sensor is used to switch on and off the pressure sensor;
wherein when the toggle valve is open, the pressure sensor is in the on state;
wherein when the toggle valve is shut, the pressure sensor is in an off state which prevents the electric motor pump from pumping while the toggle valve is shut;
wherein the pressure sensor provides a dynamic control over the flow rate, wherein the more force applied to the pressure sensor results in a higher flow rate.
2. The smart cap according to claim 1 further comprising an attachable hard-cover for extra protection and personalization.
3. The smart cap according to claim 1 further comprising a removable reservoir for easy cleaning and replacement.
4. The smart cap according to claim 1 further comprising a stretchable hose.
5. A system for a smart cap for a liquid container, the system comprising:
a mobile application for a mobile device;
a liquid container; and
a cap comprising:
a cap housing,
a battery within the cap housing,
an electric motor pump connected to the cap housing and connected to the battery,
a circuit board within the cap housing,
a Hall effect sensor within the cap housing,
a toggle valve within the cap housing,
a pressure sensor on a surface of the cap housing, and
an embedded magnet for activation of the Hall effect sensor;
wherein the cap is attached to the liquid container;
wherein the electric motor pump expels a liquid;
wherein the Hall effect sensor is used to switch on and off the pressure sensor;
wherein when the toggle valve is open, the pressure sensor is in the on state;
wherein when the toggle valve is shut, the pressure sensor is in an off state which prevents the electric motor pump from pumping while the toggle valve is shut;
wherein the pressure sensor provides a dynamic control over the flow rate, wherein the more force applied to the pressure sensor results in a higher flow rate.
6. The system according to claim 5 wherein the mobile application comprises a hardware battery life, a daily goal tracking, a performance optimization, and a statistics view.
7. The system according to claim 5 wherein a plurality of hardware settings of the system comprises a burst volume, a plurality of Bluetooth connections, a plurality of tracking sensors, a LED brightness, a touch sensitivity and a plurality of LED indicator notifications.
