As described later, a motor different with the motor that drives pointer 101,102 as drive source, reduction gear ratio is all suitable with second hand, use the train that mutual gyration is round about passed to 2 systems of expression pin 103,104, drive a pair of expression pin 103,104 revolutions, make them with same speed and to-and-fro movement round about mutually in same angular range A.
Fig. 2 is that expression band shown in Figure 1 is represented view after the driving mechanism of pin accutron 100, Fig. 3 is the amplification rearview that expression band shown in Figure 1 is represented the driving mechanism of pin electronic watch, Fig. 4 be among Fig. 2 B-B to sectional view, Fig. 5 is the local amplification profile of Fig. 4, and part identical among each figure is represented with prosign.
In Fig. 2~Fig. 5, folding and unfolding has the electronic circuit of driving mechanism between support plate 202 that constitutes support and base plate 201, this driving mechanism turns round driving to pointer and a pair of expression pin 103,104 that is made of minute hand 101 and hour hands 102, specifically is constructed as follows and states.
The 1st step motor 200 that coil 203, stator 204 and rotor magnet 205 constitute is that well-known clock and watch (are for example used step motor, openly specially permit communique 54-127365 number with reference to Japan), as described later, expression pin 103,104 just changeed driving and inversion driving, making its reciprocating rotating round about mutually in specialized range (angular range of Fig. 1).Stator 204 and coil 203 usefulness screws 207,208 are fixed on the base plate 201.
The gear 301 of wheel 209 and 206 engagements of the gear of rotor magnet 205.The gear 303 of wheel 210 and 302 engagements of the pinion wheel of wheel 209.The gear 306 of the tube wheel 212 of driving expression pin 103 revolution usefulness and gear 303 engagements of wheel 210.
The gear 305 of the wheel 211 of counter-rotating usefulness and 304 engagements of the pinion wheel of wheel 210.Expression pin 104 is turned round gear 305 engagements of gear 307 with the wheel 211 of the tube wheel 213 that drives usefulness.
On the wheel 211, be formed with slot portion 225 along its circumferencial direction, so just, can form the end 227,228 as the 2nd holding section on wheel 211, intert in hole portion 225 as the pin parts 226 of the 1st holding section, these pin parts plant, are fixed on the assigned position of base plate 201.The end 227,228 of wheel 211 and pin parts 226 are construed as limiting the limiting mechanism used of revolution range of expression pin 103,104, when expression pin 103,104 will be to the predetermined restricted scope (for example, when turning round the angular range A of Fig. 1), pin parts 226 just engage the revolution of restricted representation pin 103,104 with the end 227,228 of wheel 211.
Wheel 209,210 and tube wheel 212 constitute the 1st train, the gyratory directions of the 1st train handle and step motor 202 (promptly, the gyratory directions of rotor magnet 205) rightabout gyration passes to the 1st expression pin 103, wheel 209,210,211 and tube wheel 213 constitute the 2nd train, and the 2nd train handle passes to the 2nd expression pin 104 with the gyration of the gyratory directions equidirectional of step motor 200.Here, the gear ratio of the 1st train of the gear 306 of wheel 212 and gear ratio from the pinion wheel 302 of wheel 209 to the 2nd train of the gear 307 of tube wheel 213 are set as identically from the pinion wheel 302 of wheel 209 to tube, and expression pin 103 and expression pin 104 drive towards the reverse direction revolution mutually with same speed.Like this, be integrally formed in expression on the pin 103 crescent figure 105 and be integrally formed on the expression pin 104 star graphic 106 just with same speed mutually round about reciprocating rotating drive.
Step motor 200, wheel 209,210,211, tube wheel 212,213 constitutes slew gear, makes the 1st and the 2nd expression pin 103,104 mutually towards reverse direction reciprocating rotating in specialized range.
But, when wanting expression pin 103,104 is turned round by other style, for example make under expression pin 103, the 104 continuous round about merely mutually rotating situation, drive 200 of step motor to a direction revolution, and each wheel need change over the rotating form that do not limit.At this moment, though change the cycling method of step motor 200 easily, owing to be provided with pin parts 226, so can not on the position of wheel 211, be adapted as the wheel that does not have hole portion 225.
In order to address this problem, this concrete example is shown in the dotted line of Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, and base plate 201 is provided with the space 230 that configuration replaces wheel 229 usefulness of wheel 211.Wheel 229 is wheels identical with the structure of wheel 211, replaces wheel 211 to use.Use under the situation of wheel 229 removing wheel 211, wheel 209,210,229 and tube wheel 213 constitute the 3rd train, this train handle passes to the 2nd expression pin 104 with the gyration of gyratory directions (that is the gyratory directions of the rotor magnet 205) equidirectional of step motor 200.Here, owing to do not have on the base plate 201 holding section that fastens with wheel 229 is set,, therefore, the revolution action of expression pin 103,104 is controlled according to the revolution of step motor 200 so do not limit revolution.In addition, because of the revolution of wheel 229 unrestricted, so wheel 229 can under the situation that feels like doing 229 rotating other actions of restriction wheel, can directly use the wheel 229 with hole portion with the wheel that does not have hole portion.
Accutron 100 has driving mechanism, is used to drive the pointer that is made of minute hand 101 and hour hands 102.Promptly, has the 2nd step motor 222 that constitutes by coil 219, stator 220 and rotor magnet 221, and, also have the 4th train, the 4th train is by the wheel 223 and 224 of the gyration of transmitting rotor magnet 221, turn round the wheel 214 of driving and the tube wheel 215 that hour hands 102 turn round driving is constituted minute hand 101.
The wheel 209,210,211 that constitutes above-mentioned each train is being supported pivotally by support plate 202.Tube wheel 212,213,215 concentric circles ground be provided in wheel 214 integrally formed spools 216 on.
In addition, the electronic circuit that is made of integrated circuit 217 is equipped with in inside, and the quartz crystal unit 218 and the driving circuit that constitute oscillatory circuit are housed in this integrated circuit.
Fig. 6 is the block scheme of the driving circuit 600 used of a concrete example of the band of the present invention electronic watch of representing pin, the part prosign identical with Fig. 2~Fig. 5.Among Fig. 6, driving circuit 600 comprises: the oscillatory circuit 601 that quartz crystal unit 218 constitutes; System clock pulse generation circuit 602 by the output signal generation system time clock of oscillatory circuit 601; Stored programme and motor driven pulse described later, non-volatile private memory (ROM) 603 that reads of formation storing mechanism; To replying,, carry out the central processing unit (CPU) 604 that drive controlling was handled and step motor 200,222 was carried out in various calculations according to the program behavior that is stored in the ROM603 from the system clock pulse of system clock pulse generation circuit 602; Drive signal is supplied with the driving circuit 605 of step motor 200,222; Expression pin 103,104 is turned round the step motor 200 of driving; Minute hand 101, hour hands 102 are turned round the step motor 222 of driving.
The waveform of driving pulse shown in Figure 7 is stored among the ROM, when step motor 200 is carried out the rotating driving, CPU604 reads above-mentioned driving pulse from ROM603, carries out rotating by 605 pairs of step motor of driving circuit 200 and drives (for example, with reference to above-mentioned open communique).
That is, among Fig. 7, when making step motor 200 do the rotating campaign, shown in Fig. 7 (a), the pulse of time width P1 is applied to terminal OUT1 goes up and just changeing, then, the pulse of time width P1 is applied to OUT2 goes up and just change.Alternately carry out repeatedly as 1 cycle (for example, turn is done 10 times) with this, come to carry out repeatedly the just commentaries on classics of step motor 200 like this.
When making step motor 200 counter-rotatings, shown in Fig. 7 (b), at first on the erasing pulse feeding terminal OUT1 with time width PE, behind the elapsed time PS, resupply the pulse of time width P1, in case just change, then with the counter-rotating of time width P2 pulse feeding terminal OUT2, then with the counter-rotating of time width P3 pulse feeding terminal OUT1.So step motor 200 just reverses.Checker is applied to the signal on terminal OUT1 and the terminal OUT2, and the action of (for example, the counter-rotating action is 10 times) is carried out 1 cycle in the above-mentioned action that hockets.
After, one-period one-period ground hockets, and described turn is done and the counter-rotating action, so that step motor 200 rotates and reverse by same ormal weight, carries out repeatedly.
So the rotor magnet 205 of step motor 200 is alternately to positive veer and reverse directions, turn round driving with same amount.
Number of times is when turn round in accordance with regulations by positive dirction (for example direction of arrow of Fig. 3) for 200 of step motor, and rotor 209, rotor 210, tube wheel 212 are respectively to direction of arrow revolution, so 103 on pin of expression turns round to the direction of arrow (clockwise direction) in angular range A.Simultaneously, the wheel 211 that meshes with wheel 210 turns round to the direction of arrow, and tube wheel 213 represents that to direction of arrow revolution 104 on pin turns round to the direction of arrow (counter-clockwise direction) in angular range A.
Then, when 200 of step motor are pressed (the anti-direction of arrow among Fig. 3) revolution in the other direction of described stipulated number, wheel 209, wheel 210, tube wheel 212 are just to anti-direction of arrow revolution, and like this, expression pin 103 just only turns round to the anti-direction of arrow (counter-clockwise direction) in angular range A.Wheel 211 with wheel 210 engagements turns round to the anti-direction of arrow simultaneously, the anti-direction of arrow revolution of tube wheel 213, and 104 on pin of expression turns round to the anti-direction of arrow (clockwise direction) in angular range A.
After, thresh above-mentioned action, like this, with expression pin 103 constitute one crescent figure 105 and and expression pin 104 form one star graphic 106 just in same angular range A, move reciprocatingly round about mutually with same speed.The revolution range of expression pin 103,104, be that the angle of revolution scope A of Fig. 1 decides according to the rotating amount of the both forward and reverse directions of step motor 200 (number), revolution amount to step motor 200 is carried out various settings, just can carry out all settings to the revolution range of expression pin 103,104, therefore, can make crescent figure 105 and star graphic 106 reciprocating rotating in various scopes.
As mentioned above, when expression pin 103,104 in angular range A during to-and-fro movement normally, because of reasons such as physical shocks, under the situation of representing pin 103,104 to produce jump phenomenas and will outside angular range A, moving, though wheel 211 turns round along with the revolution of expression pin 103,104, but the end 227,228 of the wheel 211 that leads to via portion 225 and form engages with pin parts 226, turns round outside limited field thereby limited expression pin 103,104.So, can prevent to represent that pin 103,104 carries out abnormal operation.
Fig. 8 is that expression band of the present invention is represented the front elevation seen outside other concrete examples of pin electronic watch, and the part identical with Fig. 1 represented with prosign.
Among Fig. 8, the electronic watch 100 of band expression pin has the pointer that is made of minute hand 101 and hour hands 102, but also has and integrally formed the 1st expression pin 103 of flechette-type figure 801 and the 2nd expression pin 104 integrally formed with heart-shaped figure 802.Expression pin 103,104 is located between minute hand 101 and hour hands 102 and the letter disk 107.A pair of expression pin 103,104 respectively in same predetermined angular scope C, with same speed mutually round about with moving reciprocatingly the revolution.
Fig. 9 is that expression band of the present invention is represented the front elevation seen outside another concrete example of electronic watch of pin, the part prosign identical with Fig. 1 and Fig. 8.
Among Fig. 9, the electronic watch 100 of band expression pin has the pointer that is made of minute hand 101 and hour hands 102, in addition, also has and integrally formed the 1st expression pin 103 of flechette-type figure 801 and the 2nd expression pin 104 integrally formed with heart-shaped figure 802.Expression pin 103,104 is provided between minute hand 101 and hour hands 102 and the letter disk 107.A pair of expression pin 103,104 is in same predetermined angular D scope, with the to-and-fro movement ground revolution driving round about mutually of same speed.
As Fig. 1, Fig. 8 and shown in Figure 9, make various figures 1 such as character or make literal being installed in the figure of expression on the pin 103,104, or the setting angle of change expression pin 103,104, or the angle of revolution scope of change expression pin 103,104 etc., make all styles, so just can carry out colourful expression.
Then, intending that 103,104 actions of usefulness except above-mentioned to-and-fro movement of expression pin are carried out under the rotating situation, for example, intending making expression pin 103,104 do under the situation of revolution action mutually merely round about, remove wheel 211, shown in the dotted line of Fig. 2, Fig. 3, wheel 229 is installed in the space 230 of support 202 and uses, to replace wheel 211.
, motor 200 is driven thereupon, make its to folk prescription to revolution.For example, the ROM603 of Fig. 6 is changed into the ROM that just changes pulse of a storage map 7 (a), read the pulse that is stored in the above-mentioned ROM by CPU604, CD-ROM drive motor 200 revolutions are so that 200 in motor turns round driving to positive veer folk prescription to ground.Perhaps, the ROM603 of Fig. 6 is changed into the ROM of the inversion pulse of a storage map 7 (b), read the pulse that is stored among the above-mentioned ROM, motor 200 is turned round driving, so that 200 in motor turns round driving to the reverse directions folk prescription to ground by CPU604.
Figure 10 is that expression is replaced with wheel 211 that E-E is to sectional view among the Fig. 2 of the structure behind the wheel 229 as mentioned above, and Figure 11 is the amplification profile of Figure 10.Among Figure 10, Figure 11, the part prosign identical with Fig. 1~Fig. 5 mainly is that the part different with Fig. 1~Fig. 5 is illustrated below.
Among Figure 10, Figure 11, the revolution of rotor magnet 205 passes to the tube wheel 212 that drives expression pin 103 revolution usefulness by the gear 206 of rotor magnet 205, the gear 301 of wheel 209, the pinion wheel 302 of wheel 209, the gear 303 of wheel 210, so expression pin 103 turns round in reverse direction with rotor magnet 205.
