Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] This application claims the priority of Chinese patent application No. 202320950849.X, filed on April 25, 2023, which is incorporated herewith by reference.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention relates generally to a bottle cap lock, using a mechanical tenon and a clip as a bottle cap lock and adopting an identification module to control the mechanical tenon, especially to a bottle cap lock used on the mouth of a bottled container that has been opened but not used up, and the bottle cap lock can only be opened by recognizing a preset specific object.

2. The Prior Arts

[0003] Inconvenient situations often encountered in daily life for various bottled containers after opening: for example, most of the red wine is sealed with a cork. When the bottle is opened but not finished, because the cork is hard to be reused, many people cannot find a suitable bottle cap; another example is the fear of medicine being accidentally taken, drunk, or stolen in a hotel; fear of being drugged, accidentally drunk, or stolen for bottled water or beverages that have been opened in public places; mistake, misuse, and mis-mixing; in the hospital, the medicines that have been opened are afraid of being taken, stolen, or mixed by mistake; in families, the opened bottles of alcohol, chemicals, and medicines are afraid of being taken or swallowed by family members or children, and so on; therefore, there must be a bottle cap lock that recognizes a preset specific object before opening.

[0004] The existing practice is like US Patent Publication No. US20190177054A1, "VACUUM WINE BOTTLE STOPPER AND CAP, AND METHOD OF USE", which aims to provide a bottle cap lock and method of use that can vacuum and seal the bottle. However, the invention is found that if the air in the bottle is evacuated by vacuum method and then sealed, it is still unavoidable that the wine will volatilize to compensate the vacuum, and the sealing effect will be gradually weakened so that the bottle cap lock can be disassembled and pulled out. That is to say, the main problems to be solved are: 1. The existing bottle cap lock cannot be locked for a long time; 2. The function of opening the bottle cap lock cannot be opened without identifying the preset object; 3. It is impossible to detect whether the bottle cap lock has been tampered or damaged by others; 4. The size of the bottle cap is too large; 5. Part of the accessories are not replaceable, so that the bottle cap lock can replace the lost accessories and cannot be used for a long time.

[0026] There are six main factors affecting whether the bottle cap lock can meet a user's needs. first, the liquid in the bottle volatilizes with time, which will cause the bottle lock to gradually loosen, resulting in poor locking effect for a long time; second, the safety of identifying whether the person opening the bottle is a permitted person; third, the user's awareness of whether the bottle cap lock has been tampered or damaged; fourth, the bottle cap lock should be convenient to use, such as light, thin and compact; fifth, the use of replaceable part for easy maintenance for extending the service life; sixth, an easy way to identify the identity of the bottle cap lock to improve the practicability and convenience of the bottle cap lock.

[0027] As described in the previous technical prior art, the bottle cap lock technology mainly used at present is still limited to the practice of vacuumizing the inside of the bottle, for example: TWM538544U, "ELECTRICAL VACUUM-PUMPING DEVICE", CN107380700B, "An Anti-tamper bottle stopper with pumping type seal", CN215827375U, "Wine stopper capable of being vacuumized", etc. In other words, the bottle cap locked by vacuuming the inside of the bottle is a common usual method used by those skilled in the art. Alternatively, another approach is to improve the structure of the wine bottle plug to enhance its sealing performance, for example: CN213293292U, "Wine bottle plug with good sealing effect", CN212074939U, "Novel wine bottle plug". However, none of the aforementioned solutions can overcome the following problems at the same time in the prior art: 1. The existing bottle cap lock cannot be locked for a long time; 2. The function to identify the person opening the bottle cap lock; 3. The capability to detect whether the bottle cap lock has been tampered or damaged by others; 4. The size of the bottle cap lock is too large; 5. Parts are not replaceable, so that the bottle cap lock cannot be used for a long time.

[0028] In particular, a solution that can identify and judge whether the person opening the bottle is allowed is an urgent issue to be solved in the field of bottle cap locks. In order to break through the limits of the existing technology, the present innovation aims to provide innovations not limited to the vacuum sealing method, and try different sealing solutions for bottle cap locks, which beyond the usual means used by those skilled in the art.

[0029] The above is the core idea of the present invention. The following will clearly and completely describe the implementation modes in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the present invention examples, instead of exhaustive. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making progressive creations belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0030] In the following description, a lot of specific details have been set forth in order to fully understand the present invention, but the present invention can also be implemented in other ways that are different from those described here, and those skilled in the art can do so without violating the connotation of the present invention. Under the circumstances, similar extension or modification is performed, and the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0031] Secondly, the present invention is described in detail in combination with the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail, for the convenience of explanation, the schematic diagrams are only examples, which should not limit the protection scope of the present invention here.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 1, FGI. 2 and FIG. 5, an embodiment of the bottle cap lock 1 provided by the present invention is suitable for bottled containers, such as, wine bottles, medicine bottles, beverage bottles, etc., and the opened bottled containers are to be resealed, and the person to re-open the bottle must be identified to be allowed to open the bottle through the identification module 110. The bottle cap lock 1 provided by the present invention includes: a main body, provided with an identification module 110, a micro-electromagnet valve 120, and a battery pack 130, and all the components are electrically connected to each other for obtaining power supply, and the micro-electromagnet valve 120 is a linear electromagnet, relying on direct current (DC) to generate magnetism and becoming non-magnetic when power is off, and able to cooperate with other parts to attract when power is on, and pop up when power is off, like springs. The size of the micro-electromagnetic valve 120 is 7mm high x 5mm wide x 16mm long and the weight is 1.2g, with a configurable power-on duration, for example: 1-10s. The two clips 200 are arranged around the main body and pressed against the ears 210 of the two clips 200 by the tenon 121 so that the two inner hook 221 of the clip 200 fixes at the mouth of the bottle. The two clips 200 can be hinged to each other and have a buckle 220 to fix at the mouth of the bottle. The ear 210 of one of the two clips 200 has a through hole 212 for the tenon 121 to pass through, and the inner surface of the ear 210 of the other clip 200 has a groove 211 for accommodating the tenon 121, and the through holes 212 can overlap each other under the groove 211. A bottle plug 140 is arranged at the bottom of the main body to seal the mouth of the bottle. The bottle plug 140 is made of a replaceable elastic element, which may include but not limited to food-grade sponge, rubber, silicone, Plastic, foam, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), polyimide (PI), etc., or any combination thereof;. When the bottle cap lock 1 is in the locked state, the tenon 121 snaps against the ears 210 of the two clips 200 to allow the inner hooks 221 of the two clips 200 to fix at the mouth of the bottle. When the identification module 110 judges that the person to open the bottle matches the preset identity, the identification module 110 energizes the micro-electromagnetic valve 120 to suck in the tenon 121, so that the tenon 121 withdraws from the ears 210 of the two clips 200 so that the bottle cap lock 1 is becoming in the unlocked state, and the two clips 200 can release the mouth of the bottle and pull out the bottle plug 140, achieving the function of identifying the identity of the person to open the bottle and judging whether the bottle is allowed to be opened.

[0033] In order to clearly present the differences of the various embodiments of the present invention, when introducing each embodiment, the same elements or descriptions will be omitted, and only the differences will be specially introduced. As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, in the embodiment, the tenon 121 can be breakable or durable. When the tenon 121 is breakable, the person to open the bottle can feel that the tenon 121 is broken and damaged and know that the bottle lock has been tried to open by others. When the tenon 121 is durable, the person to open the bottle can detect the deformation of the tenon 121 and know that the bottle cap lock has been tried to open by others.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in another embodiment, the tenon 121 of the micro-electromagnetic valve 120 can be a screw, which can be used as a way to open the micro-electromagnetic valve when it is worn out after long-term use, or if the bottle cap lock is damaged by others, and the screw is a replaceable accessory.

The fingerprint recognition device 111 can be an optical fingerprint sensor (CMOS image sensor, CIS) or a capacitive fingerprint sensor. When the person to open the bottle presses the fingerprint on the top of the bottle cap lock 1 for (optical/capacitive) fingerprint identification, the MCU 160 can verify and control the connection/disconnection of the battery pack 130 according to at least one set of fingerprints recorded by the preset identity. If the MCU 160 recognizes the fingerprint of the person to open the bottle matches (OK) at least one set of fingerprints recorded by the preset identity, then the circuit of the battery pack 130 becomes conductive and connected. If not matching (NG), the battery pack 130 is controlled to be disconnected; the PCB is connected to the battery pack 130 and the micro-electromagnetic valve 120 respectively, and the micro-electromagnetic valve 120 can be powered on/off to be responsible for the push and pull of the tenon 121, so as to achieve the function of identifying the identity of the person who opened the bottle with fingerprint recognition and judging whether to allow the bottle to be opened.

The RFID 112 may include, but not limited to, an RFID tag and/or an RFID reader. When the RFID 112 performs identification through the RFID reader and tag on the bottle cap lock 1, the MCU 160 can control the battery pack 130 to connect or disconnect according to the identification result of the RFID 112. If the electronically stored information contained in the RFID tag matches the preset identity (ID) setting of the aforementioned RFID reader, the identification result is correct, and the MCU 160 controls the access of the battery pack 130. If the electronically stored information contained in the RFID tag does not match the preset identity (ID) setting of the RFID reader, the identification result is an error, and the MCU 160 controls the battery pack 130 to become disconnected. The PCB 150 can be connected to the battery pack 130 and the micro-electromagnetic valve 120 respectively, and the micro- electromagnetic valve 120 can be powered on/off to be responsible for the push and pull of the tenon 121, achieving the function of the RFID 112 of identifying the identity of the person to open the bottle and judging whether to allow the bottle to be opened.

The NFC writer helps to write information or records on RFID or NFC chip cards or devices in NDEF format. When the person to open the bottle is identified over the bottle cap lock 1 through the NFC 113, the MCU 160 can control the connection/disconnection of the battery pack 130 according to the identification result of the NFC 113. If the electronically stored information contained in the non-contact tag matches the preset identity (ID) of the NFC setting, the identification result is correct, and the MCU 160 controls the battery pack 130 to become connected and conductive. If the electronically stored information contained in the non-contact tag does not match the preset identity (ID) of the NFC 113 setting, the identification result is an error, and the MCU 160 controls the battery pack 130 to be disconnected. The PCB 150 is connected to the battery pack 130 and the micro-solenoid valve 120 respectively, and the micro-electromagnetic valve 120 can be energized or powered off and is responsible for the push and pull of the tenon 121, achieving the function of identifying the identity of the person to open the bottle with the NFC 113 and judging whether to allow the bottle to be opened.
