Method of display information for memory time base on surface and list using this method equiped

The present invention relates to from the teeth outwards a kind of method that (particularly only having an analog display watch that drives the motor of pointer) shows at least one memory time base information.

The invention still further relates to a kind of table, particularly analog display watch, the facility of base information and the facility that shows this canned data from the teeth outwards when it comprises the single motor of dual rotary direction stepping type that drives pointer and stores at least one.

People are known have a bell and a bit memory be used for storing by bell the table class of the connection Wristwatch-type constantly estimated in advance.Thereby cause that the user often controls this storage time, particularly relates between WA.The unique method of knowing storage time is that be shown on the surface storage time.For this reason, known wrist-watch uses very simply and presses hour hands and the minute hand that accelerated mode moves simultaneously.

In the common wrist-watch that is equipped with Daepori energising motivation, the duration of moving in the time of hour hands and minute hand may be long.In fact, if if be that the connection storage of the eight and the bell ring of for example getting up is 7: 10 constantly now, hour hands almost must change a whole circle, and minute hand must change 11 whole circles simultaneously.The essential time of carrying out this operation is important, especially the backhaul of carrying out according to same process.No matter the direction of motion of hour hands and minute hand is the alternate run of forward operation, reversing or two kinds of directions, revolution average out to 12 circles that minute hand must carry out.

In fact, use only to have a single drive motor handling the known wrist-watch of hour hands and minute hand, since the time and the normal reading of branch, can carry out as follows:

The motor of one starting accelerated service is with the acceleration rotation of drive minute hand and more slowly rotating of hour hands.

One when showing storage time, and motor shuts down, and in the case, hour and branch show simultaneously.

One in a period of time, but can read storage time and perhaps starting motor to change storage time.

When one accelerated service is returned to and the normal reading of branch.

In the exquisite table of a special (type) motor that contains available high accelerated speed drive pointer,, still be long, and allow the user feel inconvenience though this time is shortened.In addition, the type motor costs an arm and a leg, and only top-grade table can dispose this motor, thereby has limited popularizing of they forcefully.

The present invention plans to alleviate above-mentioned various shortcoming, develops a kind of method and realizes showing canned data soon and without recourse to the table that is equipped with of sophisticated technology facility.

Reach this purpose by the method according to this invention, it is characterized in that making motor by the pointer of accelerated speed rotation with mobile table, and be no more than a circle, the fastest pointer is taken in the position of an indication memory time base information, and the normal position that it is characterized in that pointer is returned to accelerated speed them.

According to a kind of favourable embodiment, in a predetermined time interval, the fastest pointer is remained in this position.

According to a kind of preferential embodiment, in a predetermined time interval, make the vibration around described position of the fastest pointer.

According to a kind of favourable embodiment, use the minute hand of table.

According to a kind of evolutionary mode, use the second hand of table.

According to another kind of embodiment, use the extra pointer of table, it is neither minute hand neither second hand.

The connection that the time basic information that shows is got the bell ring of getting up is favourable constantly.

According to another kind of embodiment, time base information is the time that is arranged in another predetermined area, time zone.

According to a kind of also be favourable embodiment, carry out pointer pilot clock point in the phase one, and pointer indication divides in the subordinate phase at least by two stages.This mode of operation can realize very accurate demonstration.

The table that (limits) according to the present invention as top, it is characterized in that it contains the control electronic circuit that the drive motor that drives pointer is used, this electronic circuit is arranged to as required and quickens moving hand, and be no more than a circle, the fastest pointer is taken in the indicating positions of memory time base information, and these pointers are returned to their normal position with accelerated speed.

According to a kind of favourable embodiment, the control electronic circuit is to be arranged to make the fastest pointer to remain in this position in a predetermined time interval.

According to another preferential embodiment, the control electronic circuit is to be arranged to make the vibration around described position in a predetermined time interval of the fastest pointer.

According to varied evolutionary mode, employed pointer can be table minute hand, second hand or neither minute hand neither second hand an extra pointer.

If table is fitted with a bell of getting up the jingle bell type, memory time base information is that the connection of bell is favourable constantly.

If table contains an electronic circuit, this circuit is the hour corresponding to the demonstration time that is arranged to adjust a predetermined area that is arranged in another time zone, and memory time base information is that the accounting hour of this predetermined area is favourable.

In order to realize the demonstration of point-device memory time base information, table can have a control electronic circuit, and it is arranged to move described pointer by at least two stages, in the phase one, at the pointer indication hour, in subordinate phase, pointer is indicated the branch of described canned data.

Base information can show simultaneously or in turn when several.

In order to understand the present invention better, see also an embodiment and description of drawings, wherein:

This unique figure represents the synoptic diagram of the preferential form of implementation of table according to the present invention.

Consult accompanying drawing, according to table of the present invention, mainly comprise a surface 10, one hour hands 11 and a minute hand 12, hour hands and minute hand are driven by a pair of sense of rotation stepping motor 14 by a gear train 13 separately.One electronic circuit 15 is guaranteed the control of motor 14, and a power supply 16 directly is connected with motor 14 with electronic circuit 15.Electronic circuit 15 has various other inputs 18 of an input 17 can introducing time base information to be stored and the difference in functionality that is used for the intervention table.In force, these inputs can realize or realize by a crown or by all its itself known devices (not shown) by the operating key that is installed on the watchcase.

When the user wants time base information for example got up the connection of bell 19 constantly in the input store, the device (not shown) that available suitable method operation is connected with the input 17 of electronic circuit 15.Subsequently, if the user wishes to know the temporal information (information horaire) of being stored by electronic circuit 15, available suitable method is operated an operating key of one of input 18 corresponding to electronic circuit 15.After this intervened, electronic circuit was sent to drive motor 14 with fast-pulse, and the effect that fast-pulse has is that minute hand is preferentially moved in the position at hour of indicating at least approx on surface 10 corresponding to this of information storage time.When move with accelerated speed minute arrive desirable position the time, more preferably minute hand vibrates two or three times on every side in this position, thereby to the user provide one generally be enough accurate storage time the order of information show reading, subsequently, minute hand is returned in its normal position with accelerated speed.

As mentioned above, also can use other pointer for example second hand 20 or forethought to the extra pointer 21 of this effect.The accurate especially advantage of the reading of providing is provided in the use of minute hand, because a step, this can allow to obtain enough demonstration degree of accuracy corresponding to 4 minutes.

According to another embodiment, demonstration can divide two stages to carry out:

-in the phase one, hour hands in fact are the hours of indication memory time base information, and;

-in subordinate phase, the branch of hour hands indication memory time base information.

In the case, the information that provides is still very fast, and is the same accurate with the aforementioned information that obtains with commonsense method.

As mentioned above, base information is not limited to the connection moment of the bell ring of getting up the time.This moment, basic information also can be the accounting time of any point on the earth in the different time zone, the residing time zone of user with table.In the case, then skew storage time (mistiming) of electronic circuit.

In addition, consider the input of sufficient amount of electronic circuit 15 and the operating key of right quantity, comprehensively this system is so that can show several storage time of information.So electronic circuit is that be designed to can be simultaneously or the not basic simultaneously information of storage successively.
