Water Housekeeper: A Light Social Intelligent Water Cup

Reminder and Recorder

The Water Housekeeper, designed by the Konka Industrial Design Team, is a unique anthropomorphic water cup that goes beyond its functional purpose. With its innovative design, it becomes a close companion, always by your side to guard and remind you of the importance of staying hydrated.

The Water Housekeeper stands out from other water cups with its social intelligent features. When you touch it, love is immediately and remotely transmitted to the cup users, creating a sense of companionship even from a distance. This intelligent water cup also records users' daily drinking water data through sensors, ensuring a healthy and reasonable water intake every day.

One of the key strengths of the Water Housekeeper lies in its design and realization technology. The transparent material used for the cup's body allows for a light display on the front grid screen, creating a visually appealing experience. The silky touch and youthful colors further enhance its aesthetic appeal. The cover features a textured silica gel ring, improving the cup's usability.

The inner tank of the Water Housekeeper is made of polished 316 stainless steel, ensuring a smooth surface and preventing heat loss. The welding process is carefully executed using sand blasting electrolytic techniques, further enhancing the cup's thermal insulation properties.

Measuring at 80mm in length, 80mm in width, and 160mm in height, the Water Housekeeper is compact and convenient for everyday use.

The Water Housekeeper is equipped with a touch-sensitive button in the middle, which displays the temperature of the water. Additionally, a mobile application provides real-time information on water consumption. Users can set their preferred water volume and receive reminders to drink water throughout the day. The cup's light expression also allows for the transmission of love and care to distant friends and family.

The Water Housekeeper project started in August 2021 and is expected to be completed by March 2022, with a planned listing in May. The design team conducted extensive research to address the issue of forgetting to drink water during busy working hours. By monitoring daily water consumption and preferred drinking water temperature, the intelligent water cup ensures healthy drinking habits. The integration of AI chips enables the generation of personalized drinking water reports and encourages friends and family to stay hydrated.

The Water Housekeeper faced several creative, technical, and research challenges during its development. The intelligent water cup had to accurately record daily drinking water data, calculate optimal drinking water reminder times, and ensure a long standby time. The Konka Industrial Design Team successfully overcame these challenges, resulting in a product that guarantees healthy and reasonable water intake while maintaining high-efficiency chip computing processing and an impressive 180-day standby time.

The Water Housekeeper is not just a water cup; it is a light social intelligent companion that promotes healthy habits and fosters a sense of connection. Its innovative design and functionality have been recognized with the Bronze A' Design Award in the Home Appliances category in 2022. This prestigious award acknowledges the Water Housekeeper's outstanding creativity, resourcefulness, and contribution to improving quality of life.
