The clock which has an illumination function}

The present invention relates to a clock having an illumination function that makes it easy to check the interior lighting function and time by continuously emitting light at night and in a dark space, and more particularly, by connecting a plurality of optical fibers to the outer peripheral surface of the dial At the same time, light is emitted from the central part of the clock, that is, the upper part of the clock hands, so that a soft light is irradiated to the entire clock by a light that divides the time on the outer circumferential surface of the dial and a light that is irradiated on the clock hands at the center part. The present invention relates to a watch having an illumination function formed to facilitate checking of time and excellent aesthetics.

In general, a table clock and a wall clock are installed inside the main body, and a movement driven by power is rotated by an operating shaft on which an hour hand (hour hand, minute hand, second hand) is installed to indicate the time when the hour hand indicates a character formed on the dial. It is a combination of transparent cover on the front of the dial, so that the table clock and wall clock can be checked at night and in dark places by attaching an ordinary lighting lamp to the clock and forming a switch to operate the lighting lamp. By turning on and off, the time can be checked even at night.

However, the watch having the current lighting function configured as described above has the following problems.

First, watches having a lighting function currently in circulation are generally formed on the outer circumferential surface or one side of the clock face of the clock, and do not protrude in order not to interfere with the rotation of the hour hand is inserted into the interior.

For this reason, the light does not spread widely and is formed on one side of the clock, causing shadows due to the hour hand, which makes it difficult to identify the time at night.

Second, in the case of the wall-mounted clock installed on the wall, the light switch installed on the clock is difficult to operate, causing a problem that the lighting function cannot be used.

Due to the above problems, a light sensor may be installed instead of a switch, but such a watch may not solve the problem in front of the user, and thus, problems such as fatigue of the user's eyes and difficulty in checking may not be solved.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to prevent the occurrence of shadows by preventing light from being generated at the upper part of the hour hand, which is the center of the clock, in the watch having an illumination function. It is to provide a watch with a lighting function that can reduce the fatigue and at the same time check the exact time at night.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to emit light from the outer peripheral surface of the dial in addition to the light generated from the center of the clock so that the user can accurately recognize the time even at night, and has a function of a soft indoor light can feel excellent aesthetics The present invention provides a watch having an illumination function.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a watch having a lighting function that can be used for a long time only by mounting the battery by minimizing the electricity consumption by forming the light emitting lamp as a light emitting body using an LED lamp or an optical fiber.

The present invention is a clock is formed in the interior of the main body to achieve the above object, the clock is assembled to rotate the hour hand on the upper surface by a non-assembled part assembled in the dial, the optical fiber connected to the LED lamp is connected multiple strands And a working shaft having a light plate on which one side of the light sensor is assembled, a working shaft which is assembled to the mobile unit, and rotates the hour hand, and at the same time the upper lighting lamp is turned on by the power supply means, and by the light sensor The present invention provides a watch having a lighting function configured to include a control unit which senses the presence of light and is connected to a power source to control on / off of an LED lamp.

The power supply means includes a first ground spring connecting the connecting portion having a positive electrode and the hour hand assembly, a second ground spring connecting the hour hand assembly and the minute hand assembly, and a conductive formed under the minute hand assembly and the second hand assembly. A third ground spring in sliding contact with the sieve,

A cathode wire connecting the conductor of the second hand assembly and the LED lamp is assembled to the inside of the working shaft, and the lower part is in close contact with the cathode ground spring, and the cathode line of the upper part is connected to the LED lamp.

As described above, the watch having the lighting function according to the present invention has the following effects.

First, the lighting lamp is formed in the upper part of the center of the clock so that the rotation of the hour hand does not interfere, and the light is irradiated from the top to the bottom, thereby preventing the occurrence of shadows, thereby improving the discrimination of time at night.

Second, due to the light irradiated from the optical fiber for each time printed on the dial has an effect that can easily recognize the time indicated by the hour hand.

Third, there is an effect having the function of a night light (sleeping light) that can feel an excellent sense of beauty by the light from the central portion of the clock to the outer peripheral surface and light generated from the outer peripheral surface of the dial.

Fourth, it is possible to use a long time by minimizing the electricity consumption by using a light-emitting lamp using a LED lamp that can emit light at low power or by connecting the optical fiber and split the light.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
