    摘要: An IOT (Internet-of-Things) non-spill body installed on a water dispenser with a water bottle is disclosed. In one embodiment, the IOT non-spill body includes a base assembly with a top cover and a base, wherein the top cover includes an indented portion where the water bottle could be placed. The IOT non-spill body also includes a plurality of load cells received in a plurality of slots on the base to sense the water bottle's weight and to output weight information. The IOT further includes a printed circuit board (PCB) coupled to the plurality of load cells to receive the weight information from the plurality of load cells, and to convert the weight information into digital weight data. In addition, the IOT includes a control board coupled to the PCB to receive the digital weight data and to use the digital weight data to determine a remaining water amount in the water bottle, and to provide a notification regarding the remaining water amount.
