Description

{APPARATUS FOR HITTING BELL OF CLOCK}

More particularly, the present invention relates to a timepiece apparatus capable of acquiring time information by auditory sense by playing a predetermined melody at a right angle and immediately following the time information when a melody is played.

In general, the watch type apparatuses can be roughly classified into an electronic type and a mechanical type. In the electronic type, an oscillating circuit or a sound generating circuit is connected to an output terminal of a timer provided in a movement, and an oscillating sound, a melody, a voice, or the like is generated by an output signal generated by a contact sensor at a predetermined time.

However, the electronic shoemaker has a disadvantage in that the sound quality is lowered because the sampling frequency is set low to reduce the capacity of the memory, and since the mechanical shoemaker only outputs the shout sound, the user easily gets tired, There are disadvantages.

1 and 2, the configuration of a seeder apparatus will be described. FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are perspective views of a shovel apparatus, and FIG. 2 shows a state in which an upper case is covered.

The melody generator 100 includes a sound generator having a plurality of diaphragms 110 having different frequencies and a plurality of hammers 120 hitting the diaphragms 110, A motor 130 and a first gear 140 and a second gear 150 rotated by the first motor 130 and a cam gear 160 rotated by deceleration by the first and second gears 140 and 150 A hammer cam 170 that rotates coaxially with the cam gear 160 to operate the hammer 120 and a hammer cam 170 that rotates together with the hammer cam 170 coaxially with the cam gear 160 to operate the stop switch 180 And a switch cam 190.

2, the first motor 130 rotates the first gear 140 by inserting the worm 131 into its rotation shaft. Thus, the rotational force of the motor can be transmitted to the gears even when the rotation directions of the first gear 140 and the first motor 130 are 90 degrees to each other. Therefore, if the motor rotation direction and the gear rotation direction are the same, a worm does not need to be attached to the shaft of the motor, and a normal pinion can be attached.

The first gear 140 and the second gear 150 are decelerating couples. Although it will become clear from the following description, in general, when the rotation speed of the motor is high, and the rotation speed required finally is much slower than that, the rotation speed is reduced to a necessary level by inserting the reduction gear in the rotation force transmission process. Accordingly, although two gears 140 and 150 are used, those skilled in the art will be able to design the number of reduction gears and the number of teeth, etc. appropriately in order to obtain the necessary rotation speed and direction.

3, the worm 131 of the first motor 130 is engaged with the large gear 141 of the first gear 140 and the small gear 142 of the first gear 140 is engaged with the second gear 150, The engagement of the pinion gear 151 with the large gear 151 is visible. Accordingly, the rotational force of the first motor 130 is transmitted to the second gear 150 at a reduced speed. The small gear 152 of the second gear 150 is engaged with the cam gear 160. [

4, the cam gear 160 rotates in engagement with the small gear 152 of the second gear 150, so that the hammer cam 170 fixed to the same shaft and the switch cam 190 are coupled together Rotate. Four hammer cams 170 are stacked and fixed to the shaft. As shown in the figure, cam protrusion surfaces 171 are arranged so as to be shifted for each hammer cam 170.

Each hammer cam 170 is coupled with a hammer rotation shaft 122. More specifically, when each hammer cam 170 rotates and the cam protruding surface 171 pushes the protruding surface 123 of the hammer rotating shaft 122, the hammer rod connecting the hammer 120 and the hammer rotating shaft 122 121 are pushed together as indicated by a dotted line. Thus, the hammer 120 pushed in the dotted line direction returns to the diaphragm (not shown in FIG. 5) to generate sound.

The return of the hammer 120 is effected by a spring. 4, a fixing post 124 is provided on a side surface of each hammer rotation shaft 122 and a spring 125 connected to the hammer rod 121 is fixed to the fixing post 124. Accordingly, when the hammer rod 121 overcomes the force of the spring 125 and is pushed in the direction of the dotted line and then returns, the hammer rod 121 returns to the restoring force of the spring 125 and hits the diaphragm. The cam protruding surfaces 171 of the respective laminated hammer cams 170 are shifted from each other and each hammer 120 hits the diaphragm at different points of time so that a predetermined melody is produced at a point of time when the characteristic notes of the diaphragms are different from each other .

Another cam fixed to the cam gear 160, that is, the switch cam 190 will be described. Although the switch cam 190 is shown as being fixed above the hammer cam 170 in Fig. 5, this position is arbitrary as described above. Since the cam is for actuating the stop switch (180 in Fig. 2), the position of the switch cam 190 will also be determined according to the position of the stop switch 180. [

When the cam gear 160 rotates once, the first motor 130 must be stopped because the melody is finished. At this time, the switch cam 190 also makes one rotation, and the projection surface 191 activates the stop switch (not shown in FIG. 5) to stop the first motor 130. The stop switch serves not only to stop the first motor 130 but also to start the second motor (to be described later) of the single tone generating section.

Thus, when the control unit rotates the first motor 130 by the contact sensor of the watch movement, the rotational force rotates the cam gear 160 to operate the hammer 120 assigned to each note by the hammer cam 170 A melody is generated due to a different sound for each diaphragm 110. When the melody is finished, the first motor 130 is stopped by the switch cam 190 and the second motor of the single tone generating section is operated.

The configuration and operation of the single tone generator will be described below.

Referring back to FIG. 1, the single tone generator 200 includes a tone generator including a plurality of diaphragms 210 having different frequencies and a plurality of hammers 220 hitting the diaphragms 210, A cam gear 260 rotated by the second motor 230 and a hammer cam (not shown) for rotating the cam gear 260 coaxially to operate the hammer 220 A pulse supply switch 280 for detecting one rotation of the cam gear 260 and supplying a pulse signal to the control unit, a motor for rotating the cam gear 260 together with the hammer cam 270 coaxially with the cam gear 260, And a switch cam (290 in Fig.

As shown in FIG. 1, the second motor 230 rotates the cam gear 240 by inserting a worm 231 into its rotating shaft. 6 is a perspective view showing a coupling relationship between the second motor 230 of the single tone generator 200, the cam gear 260, and the hammer rotation shaft 222. 6, the worm 231 of the second motor 230 is engaged with the cam gear 260, the hammer cam 270 is coaxially fixed to the upper portion of the cam gear 260, The switch cam 290 is coaxially coupled.

The hammer cam 270 is contacted via the intermediate link 282 without directly contacting the hammer rotation axis 222 as shown in FIG. The hammer cam 270 contacts the first side plate 283 of the intermediate connecting rod 282 and the second side plate 284 of the intermediate connecting rod 282 contacts the hammer rotating shaft 222. [ This is because it is difficult for the hammer cam 270 and the hammer rotation shaft 222 to directly contact each other and the hammer rod and the hammer rotation shaft of the melody generating unit 100 and the single tone generating unit 200 are made common. to be.

In Fig. 5, as the cam gear 260 rotates, the hammer cam 270 and the switch cam 290 fixed to the same shaft are also rotated together.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a configuration and an operation of an embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

6 and 7, the embodiment 1 according to the present invention includes a casing 20, sensing means (not shown), melody playing means 31, 32, 33, 42 and 43, and a control unit 50.

The casing 20 is a component for housing the sensing means, the melody playing means 31, 32, and 33, and the other means 41, 42 and 43.

The sensing means is a component that senses whether the minute hand is pointing at a right angle and generates a signal at a right angle.

The melody playing means 31, 32, 33 include a plurality of first wires 32 having different frequencies, a plurality of first hammers 31 for playing a predetermined melody by hitting the wires 32, A cam driving unit (not shown) for controlling the operation of the plurality of hammers, and a block 33 for fixing the first wire. Since the cam driving unit is similar to the conventional technique described above, a repetitive description will be omitted do.

The first wires 32 are provided in plural numbers having different frequencies. Therefore, a predetermined melody is played by the plurality of first hammers 31 striking the plurality of first wires 32 in a specific order. That is, the plurality of first wires 32 are generated by blowing either one of the first wires or two or more of them simultaneously. Therefore, the number of the first wires 32 and the number of the first hammers 31 are equal to each other so that they correspond one by one.

The above-mentioned means 41, 42 and 43 include a sensor (not shown) for sensing the termination of the operation of the melody playing means 31, 32 and 33.

The mold clamping means includes a sensor, a second wire 41, a second hammer 41, a second cam driver (not shown), and a block 43 for fixing the second wire 42 . Since the cam driving unit is similar to the conventional technique described above, repetitive description thereof will be omitted.

The second wire 42 is composed of the same number of the same number of frequencies as the first wire 32 and the second wire 42 and the second hammer 41 are of the same number so as to correspond to 1: .

Unlike the melody playing means 31, 32 and 33, the means 41, 42, and 43 do not sequentially strike the second wires 42, ) Need not have a different frequency. However, in the present embodiment, the first wire 32 and the second wire 42 are symmetrically configured for a left-right balance.

When the sensor senses the operation of the melody playing means 31, 32, 33 and generates a signal, the second hammer 41 bombards the second wire 42 simultaneously. Of course, the number of times indicated by the time indicated by the hour hand is hit, and the user is provided with time information as an auditory signal.

The controller 50 is provided at one side of the housing 10, but separately from the casing 20. If the minute hand points to 12 o'clock, the number of the means for punching (41, 42, 43) must be equal to the number of times indicated by the hour hand.

In this case, in this embodiment, the control unit 50 is provided with the correction means 51, specifically the correction button 51. [ The use of the correction button 51 will be described.

First, when the different means 41, 42, 43 are smaller than the current time, the number obtained by subtracting the number of different types from the number representing the current time can be corrected by clicking. That is, if the current time is 7 o'clock and the other type is only 5 times, the correction button can be corrected by 2 more clicks (7-5 = 2).

On the other hand, when the number of the means 41, 42, 43 is larger than the current time, the number of the current time can be corrected by clicking the number obtained by subtracting 12 from the number representing the current time. That is, even if the present time is 5 o'clock, if the number of different types is 7, the correction button can be corrected by clicking the correction button 10 times (12- (7-5) = 10).

Also, it can be seen that a silent button 52 is provided on one side of the control unit 50. FIG. The silent button 52 stops the operation of the first cam driver and the second cam driver. Therefore, it is possible to stop the operation of the melody playing means (31, 32, 33) and the other kinds of means (41, 42, 43) according to the need such as having a child or a patient in the house.

Of course, the operation can be stopped by selecting any one of the first cam driving portion and the second cam driving portion. In this case, the operation of only one of the melody playing means (31, 32, 33) and the other type means (41, 42, 43) is stopped.

A battery 53 for driving the watch or the melody playing means 31, 32, 33 and the other means 41, 42, 43 and the like is provided above the control unit 50.

In addition, the present embodiment is provided with a pendulum 60 for pendulum movement.

For reference, the casing 20 is not shown in the drawing, but the coil 65 is fixed to the casing 20. That is, when the bar is rotated, the upper magnet 64a and the lower magnet 64b generate a repulsive force by a magnetic field and continuously perform the pendulum movement.

In the present embodiment, the upper magnet 64a and the lower magnet are each composed of a bar magnet. In addition, the upper magnet and the lower magnet are stored and fixed in the storage part 63 so that the polarities 64b are opposite to each other. The pendulum 60 thus constructed is subjected to further pendulum motion by the magnetic field generated in the coil 65 by the magnets 64a and 64b.
