Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate a time adjustment by shifting a timer time signal outputted by a manual operation mechanism to the timer circuit of a timepiece with a time setting button. CONSTITUTION:When the time signals outputted by dials 11 and 12 for timer setting coincide with the time of timer circuits 21 and 22, comparing circuits 24 and 25 output signals to output an alarm signal or a signal for turning on the power source of a radio through an AND gate 26. When the time adjustment of the timer circuit 21 and 22 are made, a desired time is set on the dials 11 and 12 for timer setting and a time setting switch 27 is operated to set the time signals of the dials 11 and 12 in the timer circuits 21 and 22 through gate circuits 28 and 29. At this time, a second counter 23 is reset to 0.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention has a timer function added to it! .

This invention relates to a slave clock, and in particular to a 1-meter electronic timer-equipped timer whose timer setting means can be easily set using a manual dial or the like.

[Background technology and its problems]

BACKGROUND ART Electronic watches that use a crystal oscillator or a commercial intercurrent power supply as a clock source have become smaller and their uses are expanding as their timekeeping circuits and display circuits are integrated into IC circuits.

Moreover, it has a memory that allows you to set the time.

Alternatively, by adding a decoder and a Buddhist circuit, it is possible to easily add timer and alarm functions, so devices that are installed alongside radios, TVs, VTRs, etc. are increasing.

l l The figure shows an example of a timer clock with a radio, where 1 aelb is a timer setting dial (hours and minutes), 2 is a display section of the clock, and 3 is a radio section.

Reference numeral 4 indicates a setting button section used when setting the time of the clock. An example of this setting button section 4 is shown in FIG.
It consists of b and 4c.

If you manually turn the timer setting dials 1a (hours) and 1bω) and set the timer clock with a radio to your desired time, the timer clock will automatically turn on the radio as soon as the set time is reached. When the power switch is turned on, the radio can be played, and depending on the requirements, the radio can be turned off at the set time or an alarm can be sounded, making it extremely easy to operate. There is an advantage.

However, when setting the time on the clock by time signal equalization, it is safe to operate the setting button 4 located on the side or back of the case as shown in FIG.

In this case, hold down l'll 4 a\
When the time setting button 4b is pressed, only the time advances, and when the time setting button 4c is pressed, only the force component advances, so this operation is performed in accordance with the time signal. The operation is more troublesome than setting the time on a timer using a manual operation dial, and since the operation is electrical, it may be difficult for 40 people who are inexperienced in handling electronic equipment. In addition, when adjusting the advance time, there is also a drawback that the time for which the time setting button 4b is pressed becomes longer.

[Purpose of the invention]

This invention was made in view of the actual situation of conservation.
To provide an electronic timer equipped with a timer that allows the time to be set extremely easily in the same way as setting the time on a timer.

[Summary of the invention]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides an electronic timer watch in which the time of a timer is set by a manual operation mechanism, when the timer time set by the manual operation mechanism operates (presses) a time setting switch. The first structure is such that the time is shifted to the clock circuit of the clock, and the correct time can be easily set using a manual operation mechanism.

〔Example〕

Figure P83 shows an embodiment of an electronic timer equipped timer according to the present invention, where 11 and 12 are timer setting dials for hours and minutes 7, and 13 is a display section of the clock.

Reference numeral 14 indicates a time setting button of the present invention, and this time setting button 14 converts the timer time set by the timer setting dial 11. It is a switch that has the function of being able to shift the circuit (circuit).

It is preferable that the time setting button 14 be of a small size so that it can be suppressed by a lead tip or a match shaft or the like and can be turned on only when the time setting button 14 is turned on.

FIG. 4 shows a block circuit diagram of the electronic timer equipped timer of the present invention, in which 20 is the display section of the timepiece, 21.22 is the decimal and sexagenary counters constituting the 4 o'clock circuit, and 2
3 is a 1 second clock signal CK.

Reference numeral 11.12 indicates the timer setting dial shown in 5 above, and a decoder for converting the rotation angle into time No. 41 (code signal) is connected to this dial device.

The electronic timer-equipped watch of the present invention, which is comprised of the above-mentioned components, uses a timer setting dial 11.12 to output a time signal from the decoder, and a timekeeping circuit 21.2.
When the time signals of 2 match, the comparator circuit 24.25 outputs an H signal.
A level signal is output, and an alarm signal is output through the AND gate 26, and the radio power is turned on (off).
can be done.

By the way, the present invention includes a time setting switch 27 that is turned on by the time setting button 14, and a gate circuit 28.2 that is opened when the time setting switch 27 is turned on.
9 is attached, and the decoder that is connected to the timer setting dials 11 and 12 and outputs the timer time signal is as follows.
The clock circuit is configured to be connected to the 21°220 set terminal.

Therefore, when setting the time on the clock, for example, to set the time to 12.00 p.m., manually rotate the timer setting dial 11.12 so that the dial display surface shows 12.00 p.m. When the time signal is set and the time setting button 14 is pressed at the same time as the time signal, the time signal (PM 12.00) from the decoder connected to the timer setting dial 11.12 is transmitted through the gate circuit 28. By setting the clock to 22', you can adjust the clock to an accurate time with a simple operation.

In this case, if the time setting switch 210 ON signal is supplied to the counter 23 that is counting seconds, the seconds can be reset to OK, so it is also possible to set the time in seconds (however, when resetting to 0, the digits are 5 counter to prohibit rising signals).

It goes without saying that the timer-equipped child clock of the present invention can be used in conjunction with a radio, VTR, etc., as described above.

Furthermore, although a dial method is used for manual timer setting, the present invention can also be used for a timer method in which the time is easily displayed and stored in memory by rotating a knob.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the electronic timer-equipped watch of the present invention is configured so that the time signal outputted by the manual operation mechanism when setting the timer can be shifted to the fi1' hour circuit of the watch by using the time setting button. Similar to timer setting, this has the advantage that time adjustment can be performed with extremely simple operations.
