Hereinafter, described in detail by the accompanying drawings of the present invention as follows.

Figure 2 shows a cuckoo time signal circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention, a sound unit for transmitting the cuckoo sound, a bird barrel motor drive unit for entering and exiting birds in and out of the bird cage, a bird wing drive unit for driving the wings of the bird, melody In the cuckoo time signal circuit consisting of a doll operation unit for operating the doll in accordance with, a signal for transmitting the trigger 13 signal of the movement (11) so that the sound unit 31 sends a predetermined cuckoo sound, and the barrel motor drive unit A signal to allow the bird to enter and exit the cage and the inside of the crate according to the beginning of the cuckoo time signal; and a signal to enable the bird wing to be operated for a predetermined time at the time of the cuckoo time. When the melody switch 19 is turned on, the doll operation unit 61 signals the doll to dance according to a specified melody according to the time output to the sound unit 31. It is characterized by including a microprocessor (21) for sending out.

3 is a flowchart showing the steps performed by the present invention microprocessor 21, i) a step (S1) in which the trigger signal 13 of the movement 11 is generated, ii) the trigger signal 13 is a microprocessor. Step (S2) is input to the counter of (21), i) determining whether to proceed to the end (S9) or the next step (S4) by the CDS sensor 17 for detecting the contrast (S3), i) When the operation progress signal is applied in step S3, the microprocessor 21 transmits a signal to the sound unit 31, and outputs a sound from the speaker SP and an OUT signal to the new motor drive unit 51. Step (S4) for sending the bird connected to the motor (M1) out of the box (통), sending a signal to the bird wing drive unit 41 to move the wings of the bird (S5), ⅵ) Birdhouse motor for the bird to reverse And sending the IN signal to the drive unit 51 (S6).

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the microprocessor 21 determines whether to proceed to the next step (S8) or the end (S9) according to the on / off of the melody switch 19, (S7), Iii) When the melody switch 19 is turned on, the doll operation unit 61 transmits a melody signal to the sound unit 31 so that the doll connected to the motor M2 is driven at the same time so that the designated melody sounds according to the time. And sending out a signal in step S8).

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the microprocessor 21 is counter-set by the reset signal 15 of the movement 11 generated when the input trigger signal 13 reaches 12 or when the power is cut off. The counter is cleared and the counter in the microprocessor is configured to recognize the next trigger signal 13 as a signal indicating one o'clock.

Referring to the operation and effects of the present invention described above are as follows.

First, the counter of the microprocessor 21 recognizes the number of the input movement signals 11 and 13 when the number of input trigger signals reaches 12 (ie, AM / 12 PM) or replaces batteries. In the case where the power is cut off and then connected again, the movement 11 generates a signal 15 for resetting the counter when the next trigger signal is input, and again receives the first trigger signal 13 and not 12. If so, continue to the next step. If forcibly turning off the power and then applying it again, for example, at 10:30, the counter will be reset so that the trigger signal at 11 o'clock is recognized as 1 o'clock, and the crank sound sounds once. It will ring. However, the clock resets to normal again because the counter is reset again between 12 and 1 o'clock.

Next, during the day time, the next operation is performed by the CDS sensor 17 (the sensor including cadmium sulfide (CdS)) which detects the contrast and judges the operation of the time signal circuit (CDS sensor). Prevents loudness caused by cuckoo sounds at night time).

Accordingly, when the positive signal is applied to the pin Q ₉ of the microprocessor 21, the trigger signal 13 of the movements M / V and 11 is applied to the pin of the microprocessor 21. When input through Q ₁₀ ), a signal is transmitted to the sound unit 31 through the pin Q ₂ of the microprocessor 21. This signal is amplified by the transistor TR1, and a 'beep' sound is output through the speaker SP. At the same time, when the OUT signal is output to the new motor drive unit 51 through the pins Q _{4 and} Q ₅ of the microprocessor 21, the transistor TR2 is turned on, and a negative signal is applied to the new motor M1. As M1 rotates forward, the bird connected to the motor gear comes out of the box.

When the transistor TR4 is turned on by outputting a negative signal to the new wing driver 51 through the pin Q ₃ of the microprocessor 21 according to the 'good' sound of the sound unit 31, A current is applied to the stator coil 43 so that the magnet inside the body moves in one direction by the magnetic field of the coil 43, so that the wing of the bird connected to the magnet is moved.

After the 'good ~' sound ends, the IN signal is output to the new motor drive unit 51 through the pins Q _{4 and} Q ₅ of the microprocessor 21 to conduct the transistor TR3 to the new motor M1 ( The + signal is applied and the motor (M1) rotates in reverse so that the bird connected to the motor gear enters into the cage.

At this time, if the melody switch 19 is turned off according to the selection of the cuckoo clock user, the operation is terminated. If the melody switch 19 is turned off, the next operation is performed.

When the bird enters into the bird cage by the reverse rotation of the bird barrel motor (M1), one of the 12 melodies previously recorded by the signal of the microprocessor 21 alternates with each hour according to the speaker of the sound unit 31 ( While outputting to the SP, the positive signal is output to the doll operating part 61 through the pin Q ₆ of the microprocessor 21 to conduct the transistor TR5 to drive the motor M2 in accordance with the melody. The doll connected to the motor gear moves.

When the trigger signal is input to the microprocessor 21, the counter signal of the microprocessor 21 recognizes the trigger signal, and the speaker SP of the sound unit 31 is sounded the same number of times as the sound of 'beep ~'. ) And the same operation is repeated.

The above operation is repeated up to 12 times (that is, until 12 o'clock), and when the reset signal of the movement is input through the pin Q ₁₁ of the microprocessor 21, the internal counter is reset so that the next trigger signal is input. The microprocessor 21 receives the 'good ~ 뻐' sound once, and then the bird enters into the cage and the operation is repeated.

The steps performed by the microprocessor 21 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

First, the trigger signal 13 of the movement 11 is generated in step 1 (S1), and the trigger signal 13 is input to the counter of the microprocessor 21 in step 2 (S2).

In step 3 (S3) it is determined by the CDS sensor 17 for detecting the contrast to proceed to the end (S9) or the next step (S4), and in step 4 (S4) the operation progress signal in the step (S3) Is applied (i.e., when the CDS sensor is turned on), a signal is output from the microprocessor 21 to the sound unit 31, and a loud sound is output from the speaker SP. By sending OUT signal, the bird connected to the motor M1 comes out of the box.

In step 5 (S5), a signal is sent to the bird wing drive unit 41 so that the wing of the bird moves.

In step 6 (S6), the IN signal is sent to the cage motor driver 51 to reversely rotate the motor M1 so that the bird retracts and enters the cage.

Next, in step 7 (S7), it proceeds to the end (S9) or step 8 (S8) in accordance with the off / on of the melody switch 19.

In step 8 (S8), when the melody switch 19 is turned on, in this case, a signal is sent to the sound unit 31 so as to ring a melody according to the time of the 12 melodies and the motor (M2). ) And sends a signal to the doll operation unit 61 so that the doll connected to the drive, and then the operation is terminated (S9).

In the flow chart of the microprocessor 21, the terminating step S9 goes back to the first trigger signal 13 input step S1 and repeats the same step.

As described above, the present invention improves production efficiency and lowers product defect rate by simplifying the cuckoo time signal circuit using a microprocessor. In addition, this has the effect of providing a more affordable cuckoo clock to the consumer, it is effective to diversify the melody so as not to feel bored to watch users.
