Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Use) The present invention relates to a decorative timepiece in which a decorative body such as a human or an animal moves in accordance with the narration generated by a tape recorder after the decorative body operates properly.

(Prior Art) In recent years, in equipment clocks installed outdoors, many ornaments in the shape of dolls or animals operate as if they were playing a musical instrument, or operate in tune with music. A decorative body such as a doll repeats a predetermined movement, for example, rotation or vertical movement.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) When a decorative object such as a doll operates in accordance with a piece of music, the decorative object is made to perform a thank-you action, and then a series of motions is performed when narrating as if the decorative object is greeting. When controlled by a timer, the narration from the tape recorder and the operation of the decorative body may not match due to fluctuations in the load of the mechanical drive mechanism.

An object of the present invention is to match the motion of a decorative body with the narration so that the narration of the tape recorder flows after the decorative motion of the doll or the like is completed.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, in a decorative timepiece in which a decorative object such as a doll moves at a predetermined time, a timer for controlling the moving order of a plurality of movable parts, and a predetermined time. A tape recorder that starts by receiving a start signal from a timer and plays a recording tape with a stop detection band between the song and narration, and a mounting plate that is pivotally supported on the floor so that it can rotate vertically. A push-up rod that is vertically movably guided by a guide portion provided below the mounting plate; and a cam surface that is provided on the floor surface and on which the lower end of the push-up rod slides. A cam body that can push the push-up rod upward, a position detection device that can interlock the cam body, and that detects that the cam body makes one revolution and returns to the initial position; Stand upright in the direction of the rotation axis of the mounting plate. It is characterized by being composed of a human or animal shaped ornament.

(Embodiment) FIGS. 1 and 2 are sectional views of a device for moving a doll body as a decorative body according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, a fixed base 4 provided on a floor 2 is rotated. The table 6 is pivotally supported so as to be reciprocally rotatable. The rotary table 6 is rotatably supported by the fixed table 4, and is normally and reversely rotated by a motor (not shown). A support column 10 is erected on the upper surface of the rotary table 6, and a mounting plate 12 is pivotally supported on the support column 10 so as to be vertically rotatable. Below the mounting plate 12, the mounting plate 12 is engaged when the rotary table 6 is engaged.
A horizontal holding portion 14 for holding itself horizontally is provided,
One end of the urging spring 16 is engaged with the horizontal holding portions 1 and 4, and the other end is engaged with the mounting plate 12. As a result, the mounting plate 12
Is always supported horizontally.

On the other hand, the push-up rod 20 is provided on the upper surface of the turntable 6 with the guide portion 18
The lower end of the push-up rod 20 slides on the peripheral surface of the eccentric cam body 22. The rotation shaft 19 of the eccentric cam body 22 is rotatably supported by the support plate 21, and is temporarily stopped by the motor 46 of FIG. 3 in one direction for one rotation in about 2 seconds and for one rotation in about 1 second. Immediately after that, it may take half a revolution in about 1 second. Since the doll 26 is erected on the upper surface of the mounting plate 12, when the eccentric cam body 22 makes one continuous rotation of the former, the doll 26 appears to be bowing, and when the eccentric cam body 22 stops temporarily like the latter, it performs a thank-you action. It looks like
That is, the normal position of the eccentric cam body 22 is the position where the tip of the protruding rod 20 is stopped at the lowest position, and the eccentric cam body 22 is
When the half-rotation occurs, the push-up rod 18 pushes up the lower surface of the placing plate 12 as shown in FIG. 2 to incline the placing plate 12 toward the front of the doll body 26. It looks like

Below the eccentric cam body 22, a cam position detection switch 28 having a micro switch that is always turned on is provided, and detects that the push-up rod 20 is lowered to the lowermost position, and the drive motor of the eccentric cam body 22 is detected. A stop signal is output and a restart signal is output to the tape recorder 30 shown in FIG.

FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram showing a drive mechanism of the present invention,
FIG. 5 is a state diagram showing a recording state of the tape recorder 30 used in FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 is a time chart showing the operation of FIG.

In FIG. 3, a timer circuit 32 is a circuit that outputs a start signal A ₁ for generating a prologue song and a start signal A ₂ for driving a motor 46 that operates the decorative body 26. Start signal A
₁ is input to the tape recorder 30 via the OR gate 34 to operate the tape recorder 30. As shown in FIG. 4, the recording content of the tape recorder 30 is such that the prologue music 36 and the narration 38 are alternately sandwiched by the stop detection zone 40. When the start signal A ₁ is input, the portion of the prologue music 36 is first recorded. When it is reproduced and the head reaches the stop detection band 40, it is automatically stopped.

After that, when the start signal A ₂ is generated from the timer circuit 32, it is input to the set input S of the FF 42 and its Q output signal B rises to the H level. With this signal B, the drive circuit 44 drives the motor 46 to rotate, thereby moving the doll.

Then, after about 2 seconds, when the bow motion of the doll is completed, the contact 48 of the cam position detecting device 28 is turned on, and the trigger circuit 50 generates the trigger signal D in response to this on operation. The trigger signal D causes the Q output signal B of the FF 42 to return to the L level, and the motor 46 stops.

On the other hand, the rising signal of the signal D is input to the tape recorder 30 as an operation signal via the OR gate 34. In other words, the narration is reproduced almost in synchronization when the doll finishes the thank-you action. When the head again reaches the tape recording stop band 41, the tape recorder 30 stops operating.

In this way, when the set time arrives by the timer circuit 32, the prologue music piece 36 is first generated, and the prologue music piece 36 is stopped after a predetermined time. After this, the doll will perform a thank-you action and narration will occur in synchronization with the end of the action.

(Effect of the Invention) According to the present invention, since the stop signal is output to the sacrifice motion drive device for the ornament and the restart signal for generating narration is output to the tape recorder, before the sacrifice motion is completed. Narration never starts.
Therefore, there is no suspicion that it is a malfunction because the etiquette and the narration do not match, and the product value is improved.
