Abstract

The invention provides a tide clock, which is designed on the basis of an existing pointer type clock in combination with a tide rule and the design principle of the conventional timer. The tide clock has the specific characteristics that: a hour pointer and a second pointer are remained on a common pointer type clock and the hour pointer is called a tide pointer; a high tide, a low tide, a tidal bulge, an ebb and corresponding time scales are printed on a clock surface according to the tide rule; the key technology is that the tooth number of a 60-teethsecond gear in the movement of the tide clock is changed into 62 or the tooth numbers of a plurality of gears in the movement are changed so as to realize that the time consumed by the tide pointer to rotate a circle is 12 hours and 24 minutes; tide time points of the high tide and the low tide are independently set by a user according to shore tide rule. The invention is suitable for changing time counting (reading) devices including various mechanical and electronic quartz type pointer type clocks, pointer type toys and training aids and the like into devices for counting (reading) tide states.

Description

The morning and evening tides clock and watch

The present invention is on existing analog timepiece basis, produces in conjunction with morning and evening tides rule and existing timer design concept.Its distinctive feature is to keep hour hands, second hand on the clock-type clock and watch at present, and changes hour hands on the morning and evening tides pin.Clock face prints additional climax, low tide, tidal bulge, ebb and corresponding time scale by the morning and evening tides rule, is morning and evening tides clock and watch clock face.And gordian technique is that the number of teeth that changes the second wheel of 60 teeth in the movement is 62 teeth, perhaps, through changing the plurality of gears number of teeth in the movement, realizes that the morning and evening tides pointer revolves whenever that to turn around be 12 hours 24 minutes.Confirm it is independently to confirm as for higher low tide morning and evening tides time point according to user beach morning and evening tides rule.These morning and evening tides clock and watch can read the time relevant with morning and evening tides under the prerequisite of not carrying out any adjustment operation at any time.

Morning and evening tides is a kind of phenomenon clocklike, is the sun, the moon, the earth when moving each other, and the attractive interaction effect produces.The ocean bank all has tidal phenomena on the earth, and just degree is different.And of that month, day, three in line the time, the maximum that tidal bulge falls, the same day, the moon, the meet at right angles minimum of triangle trend fluctuation of three.But because the figure of the earth is very complicated, so that the time of spring tide and neap takes place in various places is different.The height that tidal bulge falls is also different.The natural law of Here it is tide bulge and fall.Calculate and observe according to science: the moon turns around very near 29.5 days around the earth, and simultaneously, because the rotation of the earth itself, the relative position of certain point and the moon is also changing too about 24: 48 interval time of this variation at any time on the earth.Therefore it is found that the universal law of coastal fluctuation tide is per 24: 48, twice climax and two Lower Low Waters take place.By climax to low tide approximately through 6: 12, by first climax to the second climax approximately through 12: 24.This shows that morning and evening tides interval working time is coastal in the whole world to be regular governed.And higher low tide morning and evening tides time of origin is different in different places.

The present invention is on the basis that has all types of analog timepiece movements now, as long as change the second wheel that in its movement is 60 teeth into 62 teeth, the morning and evening tides pointer is whenever revolved turn around is 12 hours 24 minutes, realizes pressing the tide clock function of morning and evening tides rule rotation.If second wheel is not 60 teeth or other reasons; Also can change the number of teeth of hour wheel and third wheel and the number of teeth each other relation; Perhaps change the number of teeth of minute wheel and third wheel and the number of teeth each other relation; Even to change three and to cog or the number of teeth of third wheel and the relation of the number of teeth each other, the morning and evening tides pointer whenever being revolved turn around is 12 hours 24 minutes, realizes press the tide clock table function that the morning and evening tides rule is rotated.

Morning and evening tides clock and watch clock face of the present invention is exactly to design according to the 12 hours 24 minutes time interval of twice climax of morning and evening tides.Morning and evening tides clock and watch clock face is printed on various literal that climax, below are printed on that low tide, left side are printed on that flood tide, the right side is printed on ebb tide by the morning and evening tides rule and certain hour scale and forming up.The time scale regulation is: climax or time of low water are 0 o'clock, then clockwise through 5,4,3,2,1,0 o'clock.0 to 5 o'clock period was 1 hour 12 minutes of conventional time, and all the other every section is 1 hour of conventional time, and generally per hour the period has 3 down scales again, is divided into 4 little periods, and each little period is 15 minutes.But 4 down scales are arranged at 0 to 5 o'clock, be divided into 5 little periods, first little period of 0 to 5 o'clock is 12 minutes, and all the other each little periods are 15 minutes.

A morning and evening tides pointer that is promoted by the morning and evening tides rule by movement is arranged on clock face, and the morning and evening tides pointer indicates morning and evening tides and how long increases to climax in addition on the left side of clock; The morning and evening tides pointer indicates morning and evening tides and how long falls neap in addition on the right side of clock.

The local tide-prediction time is all complied with in time adjustment of tide clock heading or tidal regime calibration on the spot gets final product.

The morning and evening tides time generally all adopts when lacking and reads, and read method is:

Confirm that at first the purpose tidal regime that oneself needs is climax or low tide; Read the time of morning and evening tides pointer indication then to counter-clockwise direction,, add minute track number roughly again, get final product if between two numerals then get numeral less than normal.

The present invention is adapted to the case clock of various pointer-type, desk clock, wall clock, alarm clock, pocket-watch and all size men and women wrist-watch and pointer toy, teaching aid etc. are repacked into the device of meter (reading) tidal regime.

Detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawing is implemented the present invention is done further to describe.

Fig. 1 is a morning and evening tides clock and watch typical figure of the present invention.

Fig. 2 is a tide clock movement of the present invention system;

The drawing explanation:

The 1-second hand; 2-morning and evening tides pin; The 3-clock face; 4-clock and watch frame; The 5-time scale; The 6-tidal regime indicates; 7-hour wheel sheet; 8-minute wheel sheet; The 9-third wheel; The 10-second wheel.

Embodiment 1: according to shown in Figure 1, clock face (3) is fixed on clock and watch housing or the movement for slim plastic front board, and morning and evening tides pointer and second hand drive shaft hole are arranged in the center, is beneficial to the morning and evening tides pin, second hand axle stretches out the basal disc face.Be convenient to morning and evening tides pin, the coaxial running of second hand.

Embodiment 2: the reading method of morning and evening tides clock and watch:

If wonder time from climax or low tide.Promptly see the time of morning and evening tides pointer from climax (0) point or low tide (0) point.Like Fig. 1 morning and evening tides pointer mid point between tide clock right side of face (ebb tide stage) about 1 and low tide (0), can count and read to from low tide also poor half an hour.If near 2 the first calibration points position, then meter is read to also differing from from time of low water 2: 15 between right side 3 and 2.Accordingly, if the morning and evening tides pointer in the left side (flood tide stage), then read to also poor how much how long from climax.

In sum, the appearance of morning and evening tides clock and watch will be given indispensable instrument of people of coastal or marine work, is bound to receive people's favor.
