Description

LED mood watch {LED mood watch}

More particularly, the present invention relates to an LED mood clock, and more particularly, to a wall clock or a desk clock which is illuminated by an LED to form an indoor lighting, and brightness is adjusted to emit light according to a sleeping time and an activity, The present invention relates to an LED mood watch which is driven and controlled by a clock hand, and which is simple in operation and easy to manufacture.

Generally, the clock is installed in each home or office factory and public place, so that the present time can be easily confirmed.

Such a watch has different shapes according to the place of installation, but it has a clock (a minute hand, a minute hand, and a second hand) for indicating time by being coupled to a drive shaft rotated by the movement of the movement, The numbers and scales for identifying the minutes and minutes are the same for all clocks.

The above-mentioned clock can be visually confirmed only in the bright state of the surroundings, so that it can not be confirmed when the place where the watch is installed is dark or when the light is not illuminated at night. In recent years, A clock equipped with a lighting device for easily checking the present time even when the light is not turned on is introduced and widely used.

Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2013-0109386 discloses a clock capable of easily confirming time by installing an LED lighting device on a general clock as described above, and includes a lighting installation plate on which a time display LED and a minute display LED are installed. A light blocking plate facing the LED mounting surface of the illumination mounting plate and having at least one through hole formed at a position facing the time display LED and the minute display LED; And control means for selectively emitting the time display LED and the minute display LED according to the present time and minute; And a light emitting state of the time display LED and the minute display LED is checked through the through hole of the light blocking plate to enable time recognition.

The conventional LED lighting watch as described above has a structure in which a person in a dark place can instantaneously grasp the time accurately by simply mounting an LED lighting plate. Such a clock structure is somewhat insufficient to obtain user's satisfaction, In addition, it is true that there are many inconveniences for people to manipulate the separate clock lights for the purpose of grasping time in the dark place.

In particular, since the conventional illumination clock has inconvenience that the time can not be confirmed at night or in a dark space without illumination, an LED lamp for emitting light and ensuring a visual field and a switch circuit for lighting and turning off the lamp are additionally used have.

In order to check the time at night or in a dark place by using an illumination device such as the LED lamp and a switch circuit, when the switch is operated so that the lamp is lit, the lamp emits light so that the time can be confirmed even in a dark place.

However, in the conventional watch in which the above-described illuminating device is installed, when the user wants to check the time at night, the lamp is turned on by operating the switch. Therefore, even if the watch is installed near the user, The user needs to check the time by manipulating the light switch through the tactile sense of the hand so that it takes time for the user to check the time.

Even if the user knows exactly where the clock is installed, the predetermined time required for confirming the time, such as when a clock is installed near the user, is delayed, If you do not know exactly where the watch is installed, you need to check the time after checking the position of the watch by turning on the lamp or other lighting device to check the time so you can check the time at night or in the dark There is a problem in that a lighting device is required to be used.

The present invention solves the problems of the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a wall clock or a desk clock which is illuminated by an LED to form an indoor lighting, brightness is adjusted to emit light according to sleeping and activity, An object of the present invention is to provide an LED mood watch which is driven and controlled by a clock hand and which is simple to operate and easy to manufacture.

The LED of the light guide plate 80, which is controlled by the controller 120, controls the degree of light emission of the LED according to the user's preset time.

Therefore, the LED light emitted by the light guide plate can be easily grasped from the outside by penetration of the numeric portion of the numeric display, and various types of indirect lighting can be achieved by lighting the light guide plate protruding from the face plate and the cover.

In addition, the LED controlled by the control unit is lightly illuminated at the time of sleeping, and can emit more light at a wake-up time with a lot of activity, thereby minimizing external illumination or interference caused by sunlight.

In addition, according to the external environment, when the user senses an operation to perform a toilet and a separate operation by the motion detection sensor at sleep, the brightness of the LED is brightened for a predetermined time, and the user can use the toilet A separate operation can easily be achieved.

Also, the user can easily check the time of the watch by adjusting the brightness of the LED according to the illuminance according to the external environment by sensing the brightness of the outside light and sunlight sensed by the illuminance sensor during daytime or activity time.

In addition, the power supply means for supplying power to the movement can constantly supply power to the movement without replacing the separate battery.

Also, the movement of the movement is controlled by the control unit so that the movement is always constant, and the accurate time when the watch is committed by counting the control unit can be guided.

Further, the controller can control the brightness and color of the LED to easily grasp the current time.

For example, the time can be controlled to emit red light and the minute light to emit blue light, so that the user can easily grasp the time with the color of the number emitted by the number plate.

Of course, the color emitted by the user's choice can be freely changed.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing an LED mood watch according to a second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 6 is a sectional view of FIG. 5, and FIG. 7 is a front view of a use state showing a state in which the LED mood clock of FIG.
