Description

Multi-timing and quick-restart hourglass

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of timing appliances, in particular to a multi-timing and quick-restart hourglass.

Background

An hourglass is a timing device. Existing sandglasses typically consist of upper and lower filler containers and a narrow filler timing channel. The timing filler in the upper container slowly flows into the lower container through the timing channel under the action of gravity, and the duration of the timing filler is the timing time. When the hourglass is reversed, a new timer can be started again.

The conventional hourglass has two problems: firstly, the timing is single, and the running time of the upright position and the inversion is the same; secondly, the timing can not be restarted quickly, namely the timing can not be restarted midway, and the timing can be restarted only after sand flows into the other end from one end.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

Referring to fig. 1, a multi-hour and quick-restart hourglass is shown, including an hourglass upper container 100, an hourglass lower container 200, an hourglass middle connector 300, an hour-keeping filling 400, and a protective outer shell 500.

The hourglass upper container 100 and the hourglass lower container 200 are arranged in a vertically opposite manner. The lower end of the hourglass upper container 100 is opened with the timing leaks 110, and the upper end of the hourglass lower container 200 is opened with the timing leaks 210, but in this embodiment, the number of the

timing leaks

110 and 120 is not limited to the number of the timing leaks in this embodiment, and it should be set according to the need of multiple timing. In addition, the aperture sizes or the structures of the

timing leaks

110 and 120 can be designed to be different, so that the time for the timing leaks to be placed right and left is different. The

hour glass scale

130, 230 is provided on the outer surface of the hour glass upper container 100 and the hour glass lower container 200, respectively.

An hourglass middle connector 300 is disposed between the hourglass upper container 100 and the hourglass lower container 200 for communicating the

timing leaks

110, 210 of the hourglass upper container 100 and the hourglass lower container 200.

The hour glass filler 400 is hermetically filled in the hourglass upper container 100 and/or the hourglass lower container 200. In the present embodiment, the timing filler 400 is preferably one or a combination of colored sand, marble grinding powder, iron filings, glass beads, or oil.

The protective outer case 500 is wrapped around the outer circumferential surfaces of the hourglass upper container 100, the hourglass middle connector 300, and the hourglass lower container 200, and serves to protect the hourglass upper container 100, the hourglass middle connector 300, and the hourglass lower container 200 from being damaged by the impact.

Referring to fig. 2 in combination with fig. 1, a quick release opening 120 is formed at one side of the timing release opening 110 at the lower end of the hourglass upper container 100, and the opening size of the quick release opening 120 is larger than that of the timing release opening 110. A quick leakage opening 220 is formed in one side of the timing leakage opening 210 at the upper end of the hourglass lower container 200, and the opening size of the quick leakage opening 220 is larger than that of the timing leakage opening 210.

The hourglass middle connector 300 has a cavity 310 formed therein, and the cavity 310 is communicated with the quick-

release openings

120 and 220 and the

timing openings

110 and 210, respectively, so that a filler quick-passage is formed among the quick-release opening 120, the cavity 310 and the quick-release opening 220, and a filler timing passage is formed among the timing opening 110, the cavity 310 and the timing opening 210.

A quick access closure 320 is provided in the cavity 310 of the hourglass middle connector 300. the quick access closure 320 has a diameter greater than the size of the quick release opening 120 of the hourglass upper container 100 and greater than the size of the quick release opening 220 of the hourglass lower container 200. it seals the quick release opening 120 of the hourglass upper container 100 or the quick release opening 220 of the hourglass lower container 200 under the force of gravity to prevent the passage of the timing fill 400. In this embodiment, the quick channel closure 320 is preferably a spherical or conical sphere.

The use method of the multi-timing and quick-restart hourglass comprises the following steps:

when the hourglass is properly positioned, as shown in fig. 1, the hourglass upper container 100 is up and the hourglass lower container 200 is down, the quick path closures 320 naturally block the quick leaks 220 of the hourglass lower container 200 under the influence of gravity, and the timing filling 400 in the hourglass upper container 100 enters the empty spaces of the hourglass middle connector 300 through the timing leaks 110 and the quick leaks 120 of the hourglass upper container 100 under the influence of gravityIn the cavity 310 and slowly flows into the hourglass lower container 200 through the timing leaks 210 of the hourglass lower container 200 for a total operating time T₁. Full run time T when upright₁This can be accomplished by adjusting the number of timing fillers 400 and the size, configuration or number of timing vents 210 of the hourglass lower container 200, as shown in figure 2. The timing scale 130 on the outer surface of the hourglass upper container 100 may indicate the time remaining until the interface on the timing fill 400 in the hourglass upper container 100 reaches a certain scale. In addition, by inclining the hourglass, the amount of the timing filler 400 in the hourglass upper container 100 can be adjusted to a position corresponding to a certain timing scale, and the timing of the time corresponding to the timing scale can be realized.

When the hourglass is inverted and counted, as shown in fig. 3, the hourglass lower receptacle 200 is up and the hourglass upper receptacle 100 is down, the quick passage closures 320 naturally block the quick leaks 120 of the hourglass upper receptacle 100 under the influence of gravity, and the timer filling 400 in the hourglass lower receptacle 200 flows into the cavity 310 of the hourglass middle connector 300 through the time leaks 210 and the quick leaks 220 of the hourglass lower receptacle 200 and slowly into the hourglass upper receptacle 100 through the time leaks 110 of the hourglass upper receptacle 100 under the influence of gravity for a total operating time T₂. Total run time T on inversion₂This can be accomplished by adjusting the number of timing fillers 400 and the size, configuration or number of timing vents 110 of the hourglass upper container 100. The timing scale 230 on the outer surface of the hourglass lower container 200 may indicate the time remaining until the interface on the timing fill 400 in the hourglass lower container 200 reaches a certain scale. In addition, by inclining the hourglass, the amount of the timing packing 400 in the hourglass lower container 200 can be adjusted to a position corresponding to a certain timing scale, and the timing of the time corresponding to the timing scale can be realized.

If the hour glass of the present invention is properly tilted when the interruption and restart of the hour-keeping is required due to a special situation, as shown in fig. 4, or the hour glass is shaken, the express way closures 320 are simultaneously separated from the express way ports 120 of the hour glass upper container 100 and the express way ports 220 of the hour glass lower container 200, and the packing express way formed between the express way ports 120, the cavities 310 and the express way ports 220 is opened, and the hour-keeping packing 400 can be rapidly flowed from the hour glass upper container 100 to the hour glass lower container 200 or from the hour glass lower container 200 to the hour glass upper container 100 through the packing express way ports.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the present invention shall fall within the scope of the present invention.
