Description

Tide Time Clock {Tide Time Clock}

The present invention relates to a tidal watch with improved visibility or readability of tidal information, and more particularly, to a tidal watch that visually displays tidal conditions according to time in a general mechanical watch so as to be easy to see at a glance.

When the present inventor was young, he used to collect and fish clams, sea cucumbers, blue crabs, etc. on the beach, but he looked at the water calendar to check the water condition, but it was difficult to know. The tidal calendar shows the solar date in large letters, the lunar date in small letters, the time of high and low tides that will occur twice a day, the height of the water, and the time of the tide. Since the situation is not drawn as a whole, I wondered if there was a way to grasp the condition when biting more easily and quickly.

"Tidal" time is the time for tidal conditions that occur every day. The high tide and the low tide, which occur about twice a day, are delayed by about 50 minutes. say cycle.

As an example of a technology for providing tidal time information, Korea Patent Registration No. 10-1973680 entitled "Tide clock device and method for displaying tide using the same" of which the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries holds a joint patent right and customized information using a database reflecting coastal geographic information There is a Korean Registered Patent No. 10-0992909 "Digital Tide Time Clock" that provides, and both of these technologies rely on online GPS (user location tracking device) communication, so if the communication function is damaged, it loses its function. However, it is inconvenient to use, so there are not many users, and there is a problem that it is inconvenient because there is no indication when biting.

Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0223433 "Multi-purpose watch displaying morning and evening time" displays morning and evening information in combination with a conventional mechanical watch, but does not display tide time, and does not display the tide time, and the water in a specific area rather than a wide area It is difficult to grasp the full tidal change over time and time.

Currently commercialized tide watches, there are several types of watches for sea fishing and surfing, including the EMPEX Mpex Weather Weather Watch (EX-962) and the Casio Smart Outdoor Watch Protrek (WSD-F20X). It has time and tide graphs, but there is no water information, and it is inconvenient for many people to use it as a single-person electronic smart watch.

The theoretical background of the present invention is that the moon rises late by 50 minutes a day, and the cycle of tides is also delayed by 50 minutes a day accordingly . In the theoretically proven lunar motion, the present invention is based on the premise that the observer's head and the straight line of the moon must first be confirmed in actual observation based on the lunar month based on the observer.

Referring to FIG. 14 regarding the positions and motions of the sun, earth, and moon, a sidereal month based on a distant star takes 27.3 days for the sun, earth, and moon to reach the same position, but based on an observer on earth. Therefore, when observing the tidal phenomenon according to the phase of the moon, the moon must move more than the distance that the earth orbited at the same position according to the sidereal month so that the moon will form a straight line with the reference point. The period is 29.3 lunar months, which makes the tidal cycle.

Regarding the fact that the moon rises 50 minutes late per day, since the moon orbits 360 degrees in 30 days, it orbits 12 degrees per day according to the formula 360÷30=12, and 0.5 per hour according to the formula 12÷24=0.5 also orbits In addition, since the earth rotates 360 degrees per day, it rotates 15 degrees per hour according to the formula 360 ÷ 24 = 15. In summary, the Earth moves 15 degrees per hour and the Moon moves 0.5 degrees per hour. Referring to FIG. 15 for changes in positions of the Earth and the Moon during the day, the Earth rotates once and the Moon moves 12 degrees according to the blue arrow when the day passes. At this time, since the earth remains the same and the moon has moved 12 degrees from the observer's point of view, it is necessary to move further by time T to the point where the moon is in the same phase. Assuming that 15×T, the angle the earth moved per hour, and 12+0.5×T, the angle the moon moved per hour, were equal, calculating 15×T=12+0.5×T, T=49.655...minutes. I'm sure it wakes up about 50 minutes late. Accordingly, morning and evening hours are delayed by 50 minutes per day as shown in FIG. 16 .

Tidal time was created for fishermen to call conveniently, and in the process of oral transmission, there are 8 tidal times, 7 tidal times, and general tidal times as shown in [Table 1] depending on the region. I'm using water. The present invention has been described based on the 8-tilt equation, and it can be changed in a desired manner as needed, of course. Sari refers to the 8th and 23rd days of the lunar calendar as the days when the seawater rises and falls the most, which is the 15th (15th) and the last day (30th) of the lunar calendar.

In the tide clock according to the present invention, the lunar calendar date and tide time are displayed in one zone of a normal mechanical clock, and the current time and tide graph are installed in another zone to visualize tide scale information according to time.

The lunar date and water time information is a method of moving one cell every 24 hours, similar to the method of displaying the date in an ordinary mechanical watch. It is shown as a set and moved as a set, but when there is a leap month, the lunar date and water time may not match, so it is also possible to display the lunar date and water time on different plates and adjust them separately.

The current time and tide graph displays the hour hand displaying the current time and the graph indicating the tide status in the same area so that you can immediately check the tide status according to time. It is designed to move by its own gear.

In the present invention, there is a second embodiment in which the operation method of the tide graph is different from the first embodiment, which was initially worked, and the difference between each embodiment will be described in the description of the corresponding configuration together with the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, which is a front view showing each component according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2, which is a cross-sectional view showing an assembled state of each component, the water time clock 100 according to the present invention has a current time display unit. (10), a morning and evening display unit 20, and a tide (date) display unit 30. The current time hand 11 of the current time display unit 10 is operated by the current time hand operation gear 60, and the tide graph 22 of the tide display unit 20 is operated by the tide graph plate operation gear 40. do. According to the watch structure of FIG. 2, the hour hand shaft 121 of the mechanical watch movement 120 is disposed in the center, the lower part is divided into the chassis 130, and the hour hand 122 is located at the upper end of the hour hand shaft 121. and the minute hand 123 are coupled. The specific operating relationship of each operating gear is described in detail in the description of the corresponding configuration.

The current time display unit 10 includes an hour hand displaying the current time (24 hours) on the tide graph, and allows viewing by determining a certain area of the watch. In order to increase visibility, it was displayed in an area corresponding to a quarter of the entire donut shape, and the location was placed symmetrically with respect to the 6 o'clock direction of the watch, but the area, shape, and location could be changed as needed. will be. In the watch structure of FIG. 2 , it is connected to the operating gear 60 located close to the hour hand shaft 121 .

Referring to FIG. 3 showing a front view of the current time display unit 10, FIG. 4 showing the connection relationship of the gear train of the current time display unit operating gear 60, and FIG. 5 showing a front view of the gear train , A spur gear (B; 12) is inserted into the hour hand shaft axis 121 of a clock movement that rotates once every 12 hours, and a spur gear (C) with a ratio of 1: 2 is connected to create a 24-hour axis, and a 24-hour spur gear ( Install a spur gear (E) with a ratio of 1:4 to the small gear (D) of C) to create a 96-hour (24-hour X 4) axis and mount the hour hand disk. In this way, when the hour hand rotates twice in 24 hours a day, the hour hand disk rotates 1/4, making it possible to display 24 hours a day in a 1/4 circle. Four 24-hour hands (A, B, C, D) are installed at 90-degree intervals on the disk so that the current hour hand can be continuously displayed. In this embodiment, the 24-hour hand is a 0.5 mm stainless bar, but it can be changed according to various sizes. In addition, 24-hour protrusions (a, b, c, d) for moving scale (date) are placed on the hour hand disk. The knob for adjusting the position of the hour hand of the current time is installed on the watch movement.

The morning display unit 20 is designed to have the same area, shape, and position as the current time display unit so that the hour hand of the current time display unit can indicate the morning state, but slight changes are possible if within the same technical concept. Two cycles of sine waves are equally arranged at every 90 degrees so that a sine wave graph representing the change of high tide and low tide appears twice in the quarter donut-shaped part corresponding to the tide display part.

Since the tidal cycle is delayed by 50 minutes per day, in order to move the tide graph plate by 50 minutes every 24 hours, conceptually, as shown in FIG. move one column at a time. Converted to a spur gear, it is a gear with 116 teeth, which moves at a ratio of 1:116. If the display window for 24 hours (1,440 minutes) is 90 degrees (1/4 circle) and divided into 50 minutes, 1,440 minutes/50 minutes = 28.8 squares. It can be confirmed that this is 1,440 ÷ 29 squares = 49.655 ... minutes when converted to minutes by equalizing 29 squares, which is a value obtained by rounding 28.8 squares. If the 29 squares of the 90-degree window are reduced to a 360-degree disk, it is 29 × 4 = 116 squares. Looking at the tide graph plate in which the tide graph of FIG. 7 is drawn, if it moves by one unit every 24 hours a day, the tide graph moves by about 3.1 degrees (360/116) every 24 hours, and the time is '49.655 ... minutes' per day. It's going to be a late move.

Looking at the gear structure, conceptually, a gear 61 having one 24-hour hand 62 formed on the 24-hour axis is inserted in the current time display operating gear 60, and it operates in mesh with the tide graph plate gear. In practice, it is not easy to form 116 teeth on a gear, so several teeth are usually combined in the form of a gear train to create the same effect as having 116 teeth. A gear train can produce the desired rotational speed and angle by sequentially meshing a large cog and a small cog (pinion) with the coaxially connected small cogs.

In the first embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 8, a gear train using a lever (63, B) is designed. This is a method in which the 24-hour hand (62, A) operates the lever (63) and moves the teeth meshed with the lever by one division. In this method, as shown in FIG. 9, the 24-hour hand 62 moves from A1 to A2 to operate the lever B to move the gear C by one notch, but the angle is large, so it takes more than an hour. there was

In order to solve this problem, in the second embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 10, a 12-hour spur gear is used instead of a 24-hour gear, and a continuous spur gear replaces the function of the lever, and the number of teeth is twice that of 116. 232. In addition, by engaging the gear W for setting the tide graph to which the handle is connected to one side of the gear C in FIG. 10, the position of the tide graph can be manually adjusted from the outside.

In the first embodiment, the lever is moved once to move one column of the 116-tooth gear in the 24-hour gear, and in the second embodiment, the 232-tooth gear is moved at the same angle in the 12-hour gear, so the lever 1 operation is It is the result of dividing it into 4 movements and making them move. After all, the second embodiment shows a much more continuous operation compared to the first embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 11 showing the movement state of the tide graph, it can be seen that the tide graph plate moves 25 minutes after 12 hours and moves 50 minutes after 24 hours.

As shown in FIG. 12, the bite (date) display unit 30 is mounted on a gear having 30 teeth as shown in FIG. . This gear with 30 teeth moves one unit for 24 hours, that is, while the current time display rotates 90 degrees, the gear can be adjusted by pressing the push button from the outside, and the 24-hour protrusion of the current time display and the operating lever cooperate to change the number of teeth. Controls the rotation of 30 gears. More specifically, the '24-hour turn' drives the '30 Lock gear operating lever' to move the '30 gear at bite (date)' by one notch, and the '30 gear spring' stops until the next '24-hour turn'. fix it

The position of the water scale (date) display unit 30 is arranged vertically at 6 o'clock on the current time display unit 10 in the first embodiment, and left and right at 3 o'clock in the second embodiment. You can place it in a suitable location.

17 is a picture taken of the front of the watch according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 18 is a picture taken of the rear of the watch so that the current time adjustment knob and the knob for setting the tide graph are visible. The knob for adjusting the current time is connected to the watch movement, and the knob for setting the tide graph is connected to the operating gear for the tide graph. 19 is a photograph of the side of the watch when biting so that the knob for adjusting the biting time (date) is visible.

In order to manufacture the watch, after manufacturing the main parts, as shown in the cross-sectional view of the present invention, the current time display unit, the tide graph display unit, and the scale (date) plate are assembled on the hour hand shaft of the clock movement. Then, fix the morning and evening clock face and insert the hour and minute hands to complete the invention.
