Description
【発明の詳細な説明】 本発明は電子時計の電池寿命表示に関するものである。[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a battery life display for an electronic watch.
従来の電池寿命表示は、発光ダイオードなどをもちいて
、電池電圧があるときは１秒毎に点滅していたが、発光
ダイオードは消費電流が運針時より高く、また光を拡散
させるためにレンズを用いなくてはならない等の煩しさ
があった。Conventional battery life indicators use light-emitting diodes, which blink every second when the battery voltage is present, but light-emitting diodes consume more current than when moving the hands, and they also require a lens to diffuse the light. There were some troubles such as having to use it.
本発明は上記欠点を解決するために、時計の輪列または
、輪列より力をうける部材に偏光板をもうけて、輪列の
動きが変化すると、偏光板の動きが変化し１．１対の偏
光板の特性を利用し、電池寿命を知らせることを目的と
したものである。In order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention provides a polarizing plate on the wheel train of a watch or on a member that receives force from the wheel train, so that when the movement of the wheel train changes, the movement of the polarizing plate changes. The purpose is to use the characteristics of the polarizing plate to inform the battery life.
以下本発明を、断面図を示す第１図、表示車の平面図を
示す第２図および動作波形を示す第３図において説明す
る。The present invention will be explained below with reference to FIG. 1 showing a sectional view, FIG. 2 showing a plan view of the display wheel, and FIG. 3 showing operating waveforms.
１はローター、２は電池寿命表示用の表示車、３は表示
車２に取付けられた第２の偏光板、５は外装部品４に取
付けられた第１の偏光板であり、上記車は受７と地板８
により支えられている。1 is a rotor, 2 is a display wheel for battery life display, 3 is a second polarizing plate attached to the display wheel 2, 5 is a first polarizing plate attached to the exterior part 4, and the above car is a receiver. 7 and main plate 8
Supported by
６は受に取付けられている反射板である。6 is a reflector plate attached to the receiver.
９はローターを駆動する磁心である。9 is a magnetic core that drives the rotor.
外装部品４に取付けられている第１の偏光板５と表示車
２に取付けられている第２の偏光板３は静止状態におい
て、偏光軸は互に垂直か平行になっている。When the first polarizing plate 5 attached to the exterior component 4 and the second polarizing plate 3 attached to the display wheel 2 are in a stationary state, their polarizing axes are perpendicular or parallel to each other.
つぎに作動について説明すると、通常の運針時に偏光軸
のかさなりが、平行、垂直と交互にしかも規則的に変化
すると、外装部品の穴５ａ等から見える色は、偏光軸の
かさなりが平行の場合は、反射板の色が見え、垂直の場
合は、暗色になる。Next, to explain the operation, when the height of the polarization axis changes regularly between parallel and perpendicular during normal hand movement, the color seen through the holes 5a etc. of the exterior parts will change when the height of the polarization axis is parallel. , you can see the color of the reflector, and if it is vertical, it will be dark.
電池の電圧降下により、電子回路より出る動作波形の形
を、第３図ａの動作波形から第３図すの動作波形にする
と、常時、暗色または反射板の色のどちらかが表示され
る。When the operating waveform output from the electronic circuit changes from the operating waveform shown in FIG. 3A to the operating waveform shown in FIG.
車の取付方法によっては、上記表示法の逆も可能となる
。Depending on how the car is installed, the reverse of the above display method is also possible.
また、偏光板を有するレバーを輪列に係合させて、上記
記載と同様な方法で表示することも可能である。It is also possible to engage a lever with a polarizing plate to the wheel train and display in the same manner as described above.
以上のごとく本発明によれば、
■ 発光ダイオードのように、電流を消費するものは一
切使用していないので、電池の寿命を短くすることもな
く、容量が少ない電池で駆動する電子時計にも利用可能
となる。As described above, according to the present invention, ■ Since it does not use anything that consumes current, such as a light emitting diode, it does not shorten the battery life, and it is suitable for electronic watches powered by batteries with low capacity. Becomes available.
■ 発光ダイオードのように、電子回路からの結線が無
いので組立上極めて簡単になる。■ Unlike light emitting diodes, there is no wiring from the electronic circuit, making assembly extremely easy.
■ 偏光板の下に配置する反射板もデザインに応じて、
色を変えることが可能。■ The reflective plate placed under the polarizing plate can also be placed depending on the design.
It is possible to change the color.
■ 外装部品を文字板にした場合は、穴部を文字、マー
クなどにすることも可能、また文字板をジノプルなデザ
インにする場合は、ウラブタまたは、ケースに穴をあけ
て、偏光板を配置すれば可能になるので、デザイン上の
自由度は、極めて広くなる。■ If the exterior part is used as a dial, the holes can be used as letters, marks, etc. If you want the dial to have a unique design, you can drill a hole in the back or case and place a polarizing plate. If you do this, it becomes possible, and the degree of freedom in design becomes extremely wide.
等、本発明による効果は、極めて大きい。etc., the effects of the present invention are extremely large.
