On the lamp ring of flashing, can be provided with group flashing light structure as horse race lamp, and make its flash of light run through one the ring be one fen clock time just, then each flash-point is promptly represented the display structure in second.

Count the lamp ring during demonstration and the display device of the lamp ring of flashing shows bright color or shape can be different.

Flash 60 annular display device on the lamp ring, every as five or use different color or display shape during other multiples.

Count the lamp ring during demonstration and the lamp ring of flashing on show the apparent bright display device of time, can adopt permanent bright, little bright or glimmer.

The utility model is broken through the structural design of the demonstration time of tradition table (clock) in the past, forms respectively when showing with LED especially and counts the lamp ring and the lamp ring of flashing, and by special arrangement architecture design, make it can obtain the inaccessiable advantage of traditional structure.

Following conjunction with figs. describes structure of the present utility model, feature and effect in detail:

Fig. 1 is a structural drawing of the present utility model.

Fig. 2 is a kind of enforcement illustration of the present utility model.

Fig. 3 is explanation second hand display structure figure of the present utility model.

Fig. 4 is circuit embodiments figure of the present utility model.

Please cooperate referring to Fig. 1, shown in Figure 2, count lamp ring 10 and the lamp ring 20 of flashing when mainly on clock face, being respectively equipped with a demonstration, these two lamp rings are made up of uniformly-spaced to arrange 12 and 60

display device

11,21,22 (for example LED or LCD LCD etc.) respectively, can enclose and line up arbitrary shape, this figure only is arranged as embodiment with circle and with concentrically ringed LED.The display device 11 of counting when wherein showing in the lamp ring 10 only shows bright one at every turn, and is to show bright in regular turn in turn by clockwise direction, is spaced apart one hour at every turn, with representative " time " number; In addition, aforesaid way roughly the same by showing bright one with 60
