Abstract

The utility model relates to a two-time-system world clock which can indicate local time and global time in 24 time zones simultaneously. The world clock has the structure that 12-hour scales of the existing clock are maintained, the original minute hand and the hour hand are not changed, and a second hand is omitted; elliptical (or circular) 24 evenly divided scales which are concentric with the 12-hour scales are made in the 12-hour scales, and each evenly divided part denotes one hour. The other shaft sleeve is added to the outer side of the original hour hand shaft sleeve. A shaft which is driven by a gear in a machine core rotates a circle every 24 hours in a clockwise direction, a circular light weight thin disk is driven by the shaft sleeve, 24 evenly divided parts are formed on the disk, each evenly divided part indicates a time zone, and the circular disk is named as a universal time indication disk. An hour number of the current time of each time zone can be read out through the relative positions of scales on the universal time indication disk and the 24-hour scales, and a minute number is still read out through the minute hand on the 12-hour scales.

Description

Two time system universal time-pieces

Affiliated technical field

The utility model relates to a kind of device that can indicate the current time, especially can show the clock and watch of 24 time zone times in the whole world.

Background technology

Present known Chronograph timepiece is made up of movement, 12 hours scale makings, hour hands, minute hand, second hand etc., with the position indication current time of pointer on index dial.Its function singleness can only show time in a certain place in the mode of 12 hours systems, can't indicate the time in other time zones.Show simultaneously at needs and will hang up the occasions of a plurality of local time several identical clocks usually and just can achieve the goal, even can't judge that still the city in a distant place is in the morning or afternoon like this.

Summary of the invention

In order to overcome the deficiency that existing clock and watch can only show a certain local time with 12 hours systems, the utility model provides a kind of pair of time system universal time-piece, on the basis that possesses the ordinary clock and watch function, can show the time in 24 time zones, the whole world simultaneously in the mode of 24 hours systems.

The technical scheme in the invention for solving the technical problem is: keep 12 hours scale makings of existing clock and watch and minute hand, hour hands constant, save second hand.Did in the scale making with the ellipse concentric with it (or circle) at 12 hours, and make 24 evenly divideds by angle, each scale is represented 1 hour.Scale aligns when " 12 " of one of them scale and 12 hours scale makings, when this scale is designated as " 24 ", and with this as the starting point, be 1,2,3 in the direction of the clock in proper order ... 23 o'clock scales.12 hours scale makings and 24 hours scale makings have same geometric center in same plane, the two all maintains static.Increase another axle sleeve in the outside of former hour hands axle sleeve, this axle sleeve was rotated a circle by the gear driven in the movement in per in the direction of the clock 24 hours, drove the thin dish of a circular lightweight by this axle sleeve and rotated, and this disk is called universal hour indicator.Also make 24 evenly divideds by angle on the dish, each five equilibrium is represented a time zone.Time zone in " 0 " expression on the graduated scale therein, rotation is Dong Yi district, Dong Er district successively from this scale toward clockwise direction ... Shi Yi district, east, toward rotation counterclockwise is Xi Yi district, Xi Er district successively ... Shi Yi district, west, on the graduated scale between Jiang Dong, the western Shi Yi district " 12 ", expression east, 12 time zones, west unite two into one.Universal hour indicator is marked with the time zone code name, marks the title in famous city in the world with Chinese or English again, can use more easily.The position relation of each several part: hour hands are below minute hand, and universal hour indicator is below hour hands, and scale is below world's display disc.All around above-mentioned geometric center clockwise direction rotation, minute hand circled in per 60 minutes for minute hand, hour hands, universal hour indicator, and hour hands circled in per 12 hours, and universal hour indicator circled in per 24 hours.The method of time for reading is that pointer is corresponding with 12 hours scale makings, can read the local time.Can read the hourage of each time zone time by the relative position of time zone scale on the universal hour indicator and 24 hours scale makings, its the number of minutes is still unified to be read on the scale making at 12 hours by minute hand, the same with ordinary clock, each scale is represented 5 minutes, and a week, 12 scales were represented 60 minutes.Because the mode of 24 hours systems of employing reads the time all over the world, so can know very clearly that each time zone is in the morning or afternoon.The size of all internal gears and meshing relation by watch module structure and size decision, do not belong to this programme problem to be solved.

The beneficial effects of the utility model are, when reading the local time, can also read the time in other time zones in the mode of 24 hours systems, can know that each time zone is in the morning or in the afternoon.The international association that is convenient for people to, and have simple in structure, characteristics easy to implement under existing technical conditions.

Description of drawings

The utility model is described in further detail below in conjunction with drawings and Examples.

Fig. 1 is the structural drawing of first embodiment of the present utility model.

Fig. 2 is the structural drawing of first embodiment of the present utility model.

Fig. 3 is the structural drawing of first embodiment of the present utility model.

Code name among the figure: 1-12 hour scale making; The 2-pointer; 3-24 hour scale making; The 4-universal hour indicator.

Embodiment

First embodiment, the Chinese phonetic alphabet among Fig. 1 " D " is represented eastern time zone, " X " represents western time zone, time zone in 0 expression, it and 12 time zones are the public time zones of Eastern and Western hemispheres.Present embodiment suits to use in Dong Ba district (Beijing time).The method of time for reading is that pointer (2) is corresponding with 12 hours scale makings, can read the local time.Universal hour indicator (4) with 24 hours scale making (3) corresponding, the readable time that goes out each time zone, the world is owing to be the timing mode made from 24 hours, so can know very clearly that each time zone is in the morning or afternoon.In illustrated position, can read locality (Beijing) time is 8:00, and we can read more information from the relative position of 24 hours scale makings (3) and universal hour indicator (4): Beijing is in the Dong Ba district, is that evening is during 20:00; New York is 7:00 in morning in the Xi Wu district; Greenwich standard (London) time is 12:00 at noon; The Xi San district is 9:00 in the morning; Cairo is in the Dong Er district, and the time is 14:00 or the like in afternoon.

Second embodiment, universal hour indicator among Fig. 2 (4) use English mark time zone and city instead, and English alphabet " E " is represented eastern time zone, and " W " represents western time zone, and middle time zone and 12 time zones are the public time zones of Eastern and Western hemispheres.Adjusted simultaneously pointer (2) with 12 hours scale making (1) relative position, be adapted at western five time zones and use.In illustrated position, can read locality (New York) time by the position relation of 12 hours scale makings (1) and pointer (2) is 7:00, and we can read more information from the relative position of 24 hours scale makings (3) and universal hour indicator (4): Beijing is in the Dong Ba district, is that evening is during 20:00 now; New York is 7:00 in morning in the Xi Wu district now; Greenwich (London) time is 12:00 or the like at noon.

The 3rd embodiment, among Fig. 3 with 24 hours scale making (3) be designed to circumference, can be used for being made into less clock of volume and wrist-watch.Pointer (2) with 12 hours scale making (1) relative position be applicable to eastern eight time zones (Beijing time).Remainder is identical with first embodiment.
