  The drive shaft 104 includes a gear portion 104 a that meshes with the output shaft of the motor 103. The motor 103 is installed in the case body 100a, and the drive shaft 104, the cylindrical body 108, and the revolution transmission shaft 109 are provided so as to be rotatable with respect to the shaft 100b supported by the case body 100a. The shaft 100b is horizontally provided in the front-rear direction.

  The reverse rotation stop means 114 of this example includes a reverse rotation stop cam 114a provided at the tip of the revolution transmission shaft 109, and a reverse rotation stop lever 114b supported so as to be swingable with respect to the case body 100a. When the revolution transmission shaft 109 rotates in the forward direction, the reverse rotation stop cam 114a rotates while swinging the reverse rotation stop lever 114b. When the revolution transmission shaft 109 rotates in the reverse direction, the reverse rotation stop lever 114b meshes with the reverse rotation stop cam 114a. In this case, the rotation of the revolution transmission shaft 109 is stopped.

  Further, when the lever body 101 is in one stop position, the lever body 101 engages and engages with the revolution transmission shaft 109 side, and when the lever body 101 is in the other stop position, the lever body 101 Is configured to engage and engage with the cylindrical body 108 side. In the case of this example, the lever body 101 is provided with an arm-shaped engagement convex portion 101b, and when the lever body 101 is brought to one stop position, the distal end portion of the engagement convex portion 101b moves in the front-rear direction.

Further, when the lever body 101 is brought to the other stop position, the distal end portion of the engagement convex portion 101b is fitted with the notch-shaped engagement concave portion 109a provided in the reverse rotation stop cam 114a. .

  The reverse rotation stop lever 114b is set such that the portion facing the reverse rotation stop cam 114a is larger than the width of the engagement recess 109a, and the engagement recess 109a does not act on the reverse rotation stop lever 114b. That is, the rotation of the revolution transmission shaft 109 is not stopped by the engagement recess 109a.

  As shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, the decorative body 200 includes a link mechanism 201 that is provided on the lever body 101 and operated by a decorative body operation cam 111. Although the specific configuration of the link mechanism 201 is not particularly limited, in the case of this example, the decorative body 200 simulating a pigeon is supported so as to be swingable with respect to the lever body 101, and when the decorative body 200 swings, The first drive unit 201c simulating beaks and the second drive unit 201d simulating wings are relatively moved. The casing 201b is fixedly connected to the swinging body 201a supported so as to be swingable with respect to the case body 100a, and the casing 201b supports the portion imitating the tail of the decorative body 200. When the decorative body operation cam 111 rotates, the body 200 is lifted by the housing 201b and swings in the front-rear direction. In addition, the shape of the housing 201b can be set as appropriate, and is not limited to the illustrated shape. The housing 201b can be configured to be fixedly connected to a figo 301 of the sounding unit 300 described later.

  The case body 100a has a convex portion A protruding from the upper right side or the left side of the support member 11 toward the upper center of the upper surface, the shaft portion 42 is located immediately below the convex portion A, and the lever body 101 is a convex portion. Projecting upward from the upper surface of A. According to such a configuration, the drive device 100 can be provided reasonably so as not to hinder the swinging of the pendulum 41. In particular, since the case body 100a can be attached and detached according to the presence or absence of the driving device 100, there is an advantage that the supporting member 11 is not unnecessarily increased in size, and is excellent in versatility.

  The timepiece device 1 drives the driving device 100 to perform a reporting operation at the hour, and the rotational speed in the positive direction of the revolution transmission shaft 109 when the driving device 100 is driven corresponds to the time. That is, the time at the hour is notified by changing the number of times the decorative body 200 is driven at the appearance position corresponding to the time displayed by the time display means 20.

  Below, the drive form of the drive device 100 of this example is demonstrated. In the driving device 100, the control unit 30 drives the motor 103 in accordance with information from the reporting time detection unit of the movement 23 at the hour. When the lever body 101 is at one of the stop positions, the decorative body 200 is in the back of the door body 2b (see FIG. 1). When the lever body 101 is in the other stop position, the decorative body 200 appears (see FIG. 2) and is driven there (see FIG. 3).

  First, at the hour, the motor 103 rotates forward from the state where the lever body 101 is in one stop position, and the drive shaft 104 rotates forward. In a state where the lever body 101 is at one stop position, the lever body 101 is engaged with the revolution transmission shaft 109 side. Therefore, the revolution transmission shaft 109 does not rotate, and the cylindrical body 108 rotates forward.

  When the cylindrical body 108 rotates forward, the lever body 101 is pressed toward the other stop position by the ring cam 110, and when the cylindrical body 108 rotates forward to some extent, the toggle mechanism 102 moves to the other stop position all at once. Here, the decorative body 200 appears from the back of the door body 2b.

  When the decorative body 200 appears, the engagement between the lever body 101 and the revolution transmission shaft 109 side is released, and the lever body 101 engages with the cylindrical body 108 side. Therefore, when the drive shaft 104 further rotates in the forward direction, the cylindrical body 108 does not rotate, and the revolution transmission shaft 109 rotates in the forward direction. Accordingly, the decorative body operating cam 111 rotates forward and the link mechanism 201 is operated.

  In the case of this example, the first drive unit 201c and the second drive unit 201d are configured to reciprocate twice each time the decorative body operation cam 111 rotates once.

  That is, when the drive shaft 104 rotates forward from the state where the lever body 101 is in one stop position, the link mechanism 201 is operated when the cylinder body 108 rotates forward and the lever body 101 moves to the other stop position. It has become.

  The control means 30 counts the number of rotations of the decorative body operating cam 111 in the forward direction, that is, the number of rotations of the revolution transmission shaft 109 in the forward direction by the limit switch 113, and reverses the rotation of the motor 103 when it reaches a predetermined number of rotations. To do. The number of rotations of the decorative body operation cam 111 in the positive direction is 1 rotation at 1 o'clock, 2 rotations at 2 o'clock, and sequentially 12 rotations at 12 o'clock.

  When the drive shaft 104 rotates in the reverse direction, the reverse rotation of the revolution transmission shaft 109 is stopped at a predetermined position by the reverse rotation stopping means 114. Then, the cylinder body 108 is forcibly reversely rotated, and the lever body 101 is pressed toward one stop position by the ring cam 110, and when the cylinder body 108 is reversely rotated to some extent, the engagement between the lever body 101 and the cylinder body 108 side. The combination is released, and the lever body 101 is moved to one stop position at a time by the toggle mechanism 102. Here, the decorative body 200 returns from the appearance position to the back of the door body 2b. The reverse rotation of the motor 103 is controlled by a preset time length, and stops when the lever body 101 completely returns to one stop position.

  That is, when the drive shaft 104 rotates in the reverse direction from the state in which the lever body 101 is in the other stop position, the cylinder body 108 rotates in the reverse direction when the reverse rotation of the revolution transmission shaft 109 is stopped by the reverse rotation stop means 114 and the lever body. 101 is disengaged from the revolution transmission shaft 104 side, and the lever body 101 moves to one stop position.

  As described above, the driving device 100 of the present example uses a planetary gear mechanism, and can be used to rationally drive the decorative body 200 in and out and drive at the appearance position with a single motor. .

  Furthermore, the driving apparatus 100 of this example includes a sound generation unit 300, and the sound generation unit 300 generates a sound while the link mechanism 201 is operated. Hereinafter, the sound generation means 300 will be described.

  The sound generation means 300 includes a whigo 301 that follows the link mechanism 201 and a whistle body 302 that generates sound by the airflow from the fiigo 301, and is configured to generate sound when the link mechanism 201 is operated. The fiigo 301 is formed by mounting a bellows-like tube paper (not shown) between the whistle body 302 and a portion that moves relative to the whistle body 302, and this is provided on the upper part of the whistle body 302. At the same time, it is connected to the rocking body 201a via a connecting link 301a. The connecting link 301a is pivotally supported at the base end portion thereof by the swinging body 201a, and the hook-shaped distal end portion is rotatably engaged with a boss provided at a main point of the figo 301. . When the decorative body operation cam 111 rotates, the figo 301 is lifted up by the swinging body 201a via the connecting link 301a and reciprocates in one side up and down, and accordingly, the air accumulated in the tube paper is sent to the whistle body 302. It has become.

  The whistle body 302 includes a sound hole 302a. This driving device 100 includes a sound hole closing body 303 that closes the sound hole 302a, and a sound hole closing body operation cam 304 provided at the tip of the revolution transmission shaft 109, and the revolution transmission shaft 109 is rotated once. The configuration is such that the figo 301 reciprocates a plurality of times and the tone of the sound producing means 300 changes. A decorative body operation cam 111, a sound hole closing body operation cam 304, a reverse rotation stop cam 114a, and a rotation speed detection cam 112 are provided at the front end of the revolution transmission shaft 109 in order from the front side.

  The sound hole closing body 303 includes a valve lever 303a provided with a valve 303b at one end, and a biasing means 303c that biases the valve 303b toward the sound hole 302a. The valve lever 303 a is pivotally provided on the side portion of the whistle body 302. The urging means 303 c is a torsion coil spring mounted between the valve lever 303 a and the whistle body 302.

  The sound hole closing body operation cam 304 is exposed from the case body 100a, and when the whistle body 302 is assembled to the support member 11, it engages with the other end of the valve lever 303a.

  When the sound hole closing body operation cam 304 rotates, the sound hole closing body 303 swings and the tone of the whistle body 302 changes. In the case of this example, when the revolution transmission shaft 109 makes one rotation, the decorative body 200 swings twice and the sound generation means 300 generates twice. Here, the sound hole closing body 303 swings once while the revolution transmission shaft 109 makes one revolution, and the two sounds generated while the revolution transmission shaft 109 makes one revolution have different timbres. ing.

  As described above, the sound generation unit 300 that generates the sound in accordance with the operation of the decorative body 200 at the appearance position may be provided. The pronunciation of the sound generating means 300 is to produce the cry of the decorative body 200. Note that the fiigo 301 and the whistle body 302 are detachable from the support member 11 separately from the case body 100a, and when the cry of the decorative body 200 is generated from the speaker, they can be omitted. It is. That is, the timepiece unit 10 of this example is excellent in versatility in that the presence or absence of the sound generation means 300 can be selected.
