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 system for a cap for a liquid container, the system comprising:
an application for a mobile device, wherein the application is configured for liquid intake tracking;
a cap for a liquid container, the cap comprising:
a motor,
a microcontroller with a wireless transceiver,
a battery,
a plurality of LED indicators,
a waterproof charging port,
a nozzle quick connect,
a controllable valve,
an impeller,
a secondary flow rate meter configured for liquid consumption tracking,
a toggle valve, and
a cap housing;
wherein the toggle valve is within the housing;
wherein when the toggle valve is open, a pressure sensor is in an on state;
wherein when the toggle valve is shut, a pressure sensor is in an off state which prevents the electric motor pump from pumping while the toggle valve is shut.
2. The system according to claim 1 wherein the pressure sensor provides a dynamic control over the flow rate; and wherein a greater force applied to the pressure sensor results in a higher flow rate.
3. The system according to claim 1 wherein the button or switch provides a dynamic control over the flow rate; and wherein a greater force applied to the button or switch results in a higher flow rate.
