Referring to fig. 1 and 2 together, a description will now be given of a chronograph timepiece according to an embodiment of the present application.

The timing clock provided by the embodiment of the application mainly comprises a frame 4, a timing mechanism 1, a control mechanism 2 and a striking mechanism 3, wherein the timing mechanism 1, the control mechanism 2 and the striking mechanism 3 are arranged on the frame 4, the timing mechanism 1 is used for travel time measurement, and the control mechanism 2 can be linked once every set time (such as every hour) in the travel time measurement process; the control mechanism 2 can open the time reporting mechanism 3 in a linkage state so that the time reporting mechanism 3 can perform ringing time reporting work, after the ringing time reporting work is completed, the control mechanism 2 enters a non-linkage state, and the control mechanism 2 in the non-linkage state can close the time reporting mechanism 3; the striking mechanism 3 has a striking period and the number of rings at each turn-on within the striking period is different.

According to the timing clock of the embodiment of the application, the timing mechanism 1 is utilized to carry out the linkage control mechanism 2 in the working process of travel time measurement, the control mechanism 2 can reset when not influenced by external force, and the start and stop control of the timing mechanism 3 is fully realized through the reset action of the linkage control mechanism 2 and the control mechanism 2. In terms of the striking period of the striking mechanism 3, if 12 hours are set as a striking period, the timing mechanism 1 is linked with the control mechanism 2 once per hour, so that the striking mechanism 3 can start and stop for 12 times in one striking period, correspondingly, the first start-stop ringing bell in the striking period can be further set for 1 time, the second start-stop ringing bell for 2 times, and so on, and the twelfth start-stop ringing bell for 12 times, and then the next striking period is entered.

It should be understood that the time period of a positive integer number of hours, such as 6 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours, 24 hours, etc., may be set here, and the time period of 12 hours more conforms to the timing rule of daily life according to daily habits.

To sum up, the timing clock and watch novel structure and the timing mode that this application provided are nimble, can fully satisfy people's actual demand.

In some embodiments of the present application, referring to fig. 3, fig. 5 and fig. 6, the striking mechanism 3 includes a striking driving structure 30, and a first adjusting structure 32 and a second adjusting structure 33 in transmission connection with the striking driving structure 30, and the control mechanism 2 resets and locks the first adjusting structure 32 and the second adjusting structure 33 in the non-linked state to close the striking mechanism 3 and stop the striking of the ring; the control mechanism 2 releases the first adjusting structure 32 and the second adjusting structure 33 in a linkage state so as to start the striking mechanism 3 and carry out specific ringing striking work.

It can be understood that the first adjusting structure 32 and the second adjusting structure 33 of the embodiment of the present application cooperate to realize the linkage with the timing mechanism 1, and simultaneously realize the start-stop control of the striking mechanism 3.

In some embodiments of the present application, please refer to fig. 1, fig. 2, fig. 3, fig. 5, and fig. 6, the first adjusting structure 32 includes a connecting gear 311 and a ring gear 312, the connecting gear 311 engages with an inner ring (i.e., an inner circumference) of the ring gear 312 and is connected with the striking driving structure 30, the ring gear 312 is rotatably disposed on the frame 4, an outer ring (i.e., an outer circumference coaxial with and opposite to the inner circumference) of the ring gear 312 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of notches 313 for engaging with the control mechanism 2, a space (specifically, the space refers to an outer circumference arc length between end surfaces of two adjacent notches 313 that are close to each other) is reserved between two adjacent notches 313, the space corresponds to a number of ring bells, and one ring gear 312 rotates for one striking period.

According to the first adjusting structure 32 of the embodiment of the present application, the gear ring 312 is in transmission connection with the striking drive structure 30 through the connecting gear 311, when the control mechanism 2 is clamped into one of the notches 313, the gear ring 312 is restricted from rotating, which further causes the striking drive structure 30 in transmission connection with the gear ring to be unable to work, so that the whole striking mechanism 3 stops operating; before the control mechanism 2 is released from one notch 313 and is clamped into the next adjacent notch 313, the gear ring 312 rotates by a certain angle, and the striking drive mechanism 30 runs for a period of time, at this time, the whole striking mechanism 3 is in an open state and performs the ringing striking work.

It can be understood that the longer the outer circumference arc length corresponding to the distance, the longer the running time of the ringing alarm operation, and the more ringing frequency. In the same way, if the two distances are the same, the corresponding ringing times are the same. Therefore, in consideration of the need for distinguishing different time points, it can be set that the lengths of all the intervals in the whole time period are sequentially increased from the beginning of the time period to the end of the time period (i.e. the intervals are longer the farther back), so as to distinguish different time points by increasing the number of times of time.

In some embodiments of the present application, please refer to fig. 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 together, the second adjusting structure 33 includes a speed-adjusting input shaft 314, a speed-adjusting input gear 315, a speed-adjusting secondary gear 316, a speed-adjusting output gear 317, a speed-adjusting output shaft 318 and a speed-adjusting fan 319, wherein the speed-adjusting input shaft 314 is rotatably disposed on the frame 4, the speed-adjusting input gear 315 is fixedly mounted (all the fixed mountings in the present application refer to being relatively fixed, but not being undetachable) at one end of the speed-adjusting input shaft 314 and is in transmission connection with the striking drive structure 30, the speed-adjusting secondary gear 316 is fixedly mounted at the other end of the speed-adjusting input shaft 314, a snap ring 3160 having a notch is coaxially disposed at one side of the speed-adjusting secondary gear 316 (the shape of the snap ring 3160 is similar to a C-shaped letter, the control mechanism 2 is inserted into the notch 313 and supports the notch end of the snap ring 3160 in the non-linked state, and the control mechanism 2 is pulled out of the notch 313 and is far from the notch end of the snap ring 3160 in the linked state; further, a speed regulation output shaft 318 is rotatably disposed on the frame 4 and is in transmission connection with the speed regulation secondary gear 316 through a speed regulation output gear 317, and a speed regulation fan 319 is fixedly mounted at an end portion of the speed regulation output shaft 318 and exposed to the outside of the entire frame 4.

According to the second adjusting structure 33 of the embodiment of the present application, the speed-adjusting secondary gear 316 is in transmission connection with the striking drive structure 30 through the speed-adjusting input shaft 314, and since the starting operation of the striking mechanism 3 requires the control mechanism 2 to simultaneously release the speed-adjusting secondary gear 316 and the gear ring 312, the starting, stopping, and striking processes of the whole striking mechanism 3 are realized by the matching of the speed-adjusting secondary gear 316 and the gear ring 312 with the control mechanism 2.

Further, the second adjusting structure 33 further includes a speed-adjusting fan 319 in transmission connection with the timing driving structure 30 through the speed-adjusting secondary gear 316, and as the rotation speed of the timing driving structure 30 increases, the rotation speed of the speed-adjusting fan 319 also increases, the resistance applied to the speed-adjusting fan 319 increases and feeds back and adjusts the rotation speed of the timing driving structure 30, so that the speed-adjusting fan 319 can play a role in adjusting the rotation speed.

In some embodiments of the present application, referring to fig. 1, fig. 2, fig. 3, fig. 5, and fig. 6, the striking mechanism 3 further includes a ring structure 34, and the ring structure 34 can be linked by the striking driving structure 30 at least once in the on state to perform a specific ring striking operation.

According to the striking drive structure 30 of the embodiment of the present application, when the control mechanism 2 releases the speed-adjusting secondary gear 316 and the gear ring 312, the second driving hammer 301 descends under the action of its own weight, so that the second connection sleeve 323 and the second ratchet 306 rotate, the second ratchet 306 can be connected with the second pawl 305 to drive the striking main shaft 307 and the striking drive gear 303 to rotate, so that the whole striking mechanism 3 starts to operate and strike under the action of the own weight of the second driving hammer 301; further, the striking drive mechanism 30 performs a winding operation through a ratchet mechanism. Specifically, during the winding operation, the second connecting sleeve 323 and the second ratchet wheel 306 are driven to rotate (the second ratchet wheel 306 is not engaged with the second pawl 305, and therefore, the striking drive gear 303 and the striking main shaft 307 are not driven to rotate), so that the second drive hammer 301 is lifted, and the purpose of accumulating gravitational potential energy can be achieved. At this time, since the striking drive gear 303 and the striking main shaft 307 do not rotate, the entire striking mechanism 3 is in a closed state, and the striking work is not performed; when the striking mechanism 3 is activated, the striking drive gear 303 is engaged with the second ratchet 306 via the second pawl 305, and can rotate with the fall of the second drive hammer 301, thereby enabling a specific striking drive operation.

According to the second winding structure 31 of the embodiment of the application, the second winding gear 308, the second winding secondary gear 310, the second connecting sleeve 323 and the second ratchet 306 can be sequentially driven to rotate by rotating the second winding shaft 309, so that the second connecting bar 302 is wound, the second driving hammer 301 is lifted, and the winding work of the timing driving structure 30 is completed.

In some embodiments of the present application, referring to fig. 1, fig. 2, fig. 3, fig. 5, fig. 6 and fig. 8, the ringing structure 34 includes a swinging rod 320, a striking bell 321 and a suspension 322, wherein the suspension 322 is disposed at the top end of the frame 4, the striking bell 321 is suspended on the suspension 322, the swinging rod 320 is rotatably disposed on the frame 4 and can be reset, a plurality of third linking pins 3030 are circumferentially disposed on one side of the striking drive gear 303 close to the swinging rod 320, one end of the swinging rod 320 is used for rotatably striking the striking bell 321, and the other end of the swinging rod 320 is used for cooperating with the third linking pins 3030.

It is apparent that the swing lever 320 can be reset by gravity or torsion spring structure to cooperate with the striking drive gear 303 to cycle.

In some embodiments of the present application, referring to fig. 6, a rotating head 3200 is disposed or bent at an end of the swing lever 320 corresponding to the third coupling pin 3030, so as to sufficiently cooperate with the third coupling pin 3030 to perform a specific rotation rattling operation.

In some embodiments of the present application, please refer to fig. 1 to 5 together, the control mechanism 2 includes a first rotating structure 21 and a second rotating structure 22 capable of rotating and resetting, specifically, the first rotating structure 21 is used for linking with the timing mechanism 1 and pushing the second rotating structure 22 to rotate, the second rotating structure 22 can be reset synchronously when the first rotating structure 21 is reset, and the second rotating structure 22 can release the speed-adjusting secondary gear 316 and the gear ring 312 when being pushed to rotate by the first rotating structure 21, so that the timing driving structure 30 can rotate to achieve the purpose of starting the whole timing mechanism 3; when the first rotating structure 21 and the second rotating structure 22 are reset, the second rotating structure 22 is reset to clamp the speed-adjusting secondary gear 316 and/or the gear ring 312, so that the striking driving structure 30 can stop running to achieve the purpose of closing the whole striking mechanism 3.

In some embodiments of the present application, referring to fig. 1 to 5, the first rotating structure 21 includes a first rotating shaft 201, a first rotating plate 202, and a second rotating plate 203, wherein the first rotating shaft 201 is rotatably disposed on the frame 4, the first rotating plate 202 and the second rotating plate 203 are both fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 201, an end of the first rotating plate 202 corresponds to the timing mechanism 1, and an end of the second rotating plate 203 corresponds to the speed-adjusting secondary gear 316; further, the second rotating structure 22 includes a third rotating plate 204, a fourth rotating plate 205 and a second rotating shaft 206, wherein the second rotating shaft 206 is rotatably disposed on the frame 4, the third rotating plate 204 and the fourth rotating plate 205 are both fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 206, an end of the third rotating plate 204 is close to the gear ring 312, and an end of the fourth rotating plate 205 is close to the speed regulation secondary gear 316.

The first rotating structure 21 according to the embodiment of the present application pushes the fourth rotating plate 205 to rotate through the second rotating plate 203, thereby achieving a cooperative action with the second rotating structure 22. Obviously, when the first rotating structure 21 is reset in advance, the second rotating structure 22 can be reset accordingly.

With the above details, a specific operation mode between the control means 2 and the striking means 3 will be described here:

when the control mechanism 2 locks the speed regulation secondary gear 316 and/or the gear ring 312, the whole time reporting mechanism 3 can be in a closed state; when the control mechanism 2 simultaneously releases the speed regulation secondary gear 316 and the gear ring 312, the whole striking mechanism 3 is in an open state. Specifically, when the first baffle 2030 blocks the notched end of the snap ring 3160, the second baffle 2040 is clamped in the notch 313, and/or the third baffle 2050 blocks the notched end of the snap ring 3160, the closing of the striking mechanism 3 can be realized; when the first blocking plate 2030 is far away from the notched end of the snap ring 3160, the second blocking plate 2040 is completely pulled out from the notch 313, and the third blocking plate 2050 is far away from the notched end of the snap ring 3160, the striking mechanism 3 can be completely opened.

It is assumed here that the second shutter 2040 in the closed state completely snaps into the notch 313, while the third shutter 2050 holds against the notched end of the snap ring 3160, and the first shutter 2030 is located inside the snap ring 3160. When the first rotating plate 202 starts to rotate upwards under the action of the timing mechanism 1, the first baffle 2030 is set not to enter the notch of the snap ring 3160, and the whole timing mechanism 3 cannot operate; when the first rotating plate 202 rotates continuously and pushes the fourth rotating plate 205 to rotate, the second baffle 2040 starts to be separated from the notch 313, the third baffle 2050 starts to be separated from the notch end of the snap ring 3160, at this time, the first baffle 2030 is still positioned at the inner side of the snap ring 3160, and the striking mechanism 3 cannot be started; when the first rotating plate 202 continuously rotates until the second baffle 2040 completely disengages from the notch 313 and the third baffle 2050 completely disengages from the notched end of the snap ring 3160, the speed-regulating secondary gear 316 and the gear ring 312 rotate, the speed-regulating secondary gear 316 should rotate by an angle corresponding to the notch of the snap ring 3160, then the first baffle 2030 abuts against the notched end of the snap ring 3160, and at this time, the striking mechanism 3 is not completely started; when the first rotating plate 202 rotates to the highest point and falls back for resetting, the whole control mechanism 2 starts to reset, the first baffle 2030 falls down to the notched end which does not support the snap ring 3160, the third baffle 2050 falls back on the outer ring side wall of the snap ring 3160, the second baffle 2040 falls on the outer circumferential surface of the gear ring 312, the whole striking mechanism 3 is completely started, and the specific ringing striking work is started.

It will be appreciated that the above-mentioned action includes an incomplete start condition, which is designed to ensure that the second blocking plate 2040 in the opening process is sufficiently separated from the notch 313, so that the second blocking plate 2040 does not fall into the same notch 313 again when the third rotating plate 204 falls back, which affects the normal start of the entire striking mechanism 3.

It will be appreciated that the second stop 2040 slides into the next notch 313 against the outer circumferential surface of the ring gear 312, and the third stop 2050 preferably abuts the notched end of the snap ring 3160 at the same location to ensure a sufficient locking closure.

Further, as can be seen from fig. 7, when the distances between two adjacent notches 313 are set to be different, it should be ensured that the number of turns of the speed-regulating secondary gear 316 corresponding to each distance is a positive integer greater than 1, so that the whole striking mechanism 3 rings at least once when each turn of the speed-regulating secondary gear 316 is set, thereby fully ensuring that each time point in the striking period has a ringing effect, and fully achieving the purpose of distinguishing the time points.

In some embodiments of the present application, referring to fig. 7, in the case that the striking period is set to 12 hours, theoretically, 12 notches 313 with the same size should be disposed on the outer circumference of the ring gear 312, but in combination with the actual processing situation, considering that the interaction point between the beginning and the end of the striking period is more specific, that is, the distance between 11 points and 12 points is the longest, the distance between 12 points and 1 point is the shortest, and the distance between 12 points and 1 point is even smaller than the width of the second baffle 2040, so that the distance is directly removed here, and two notches 313 are directly communicated to form one notch 313 with the widest width as shown in fig. 7, and the sizes of the remaining notches 313 are the same.

It will be appreciated that the striking mechanism 3 between 12 o 'clock and 1 o' clock can be normally opened, but closing is achieved by the third stop 2050 abutting the notched end of the snap ring 3160, while the second stop 2040 rests in the middle of the widest slot 313.
