2.0.0 Utility Model Name:

"A mechanism for moving the clock hands showing the time of sunrise and sunset."

3.0.0 The technical field to which the utility model belongs.

3.1.0 The proposed utility model relates to the field of determining the time of sunrise and sunset on the analogue clock dial using the movement mechanism of two additional hands mounted on the central axes and performing reciprocating motion. Determining the time of sunrise and sunset is carried out according to the current date, location coordinates and time zone. The device can be used in watches with an analog daily 24-hour dial in the following variants:

- 0-12 hours before noon and 12-0 hours after noon with the start of the daily time at the bottom of the dial (Figure 1);

- 1-24 hours, Patent for the invention “Disc schedule 24 hours” France, Paris, Institut National Dela Propriete Industrielle. Application filing date: 05.09.90, publication number 2666423, national record number 9011028, IPC G04B 19/06, with the start of the daily time at the bottom of the dial (Figure 2);

3.1.1. The mechanism for moving the clock hands showing the time of sunrise and sunset is made as an additional device to mechanical or electromechanical watches, installed on the platinum of the main watch mechanism and is driven from the main watch mechanism.

3.2.0 level of technology.

3.2.1. Currently, there are a number of devices indicating the time of sunrise and sunset on the dial. The closest analogue is “A watch with a device for indicating day and night” (IPC G04B 19/26 copyright certificate for the invention SU 1365038 A1 of 04.01.84, Lviv State Medical Institute, authors V.M. Fright, O.V. Fright, Yu.V. Freight) (Figure 4, Figure 6). This device allows the relative indication of the length of the day and night with the help of additional arrows mounted on the central axis, indicating the time of day and night on the scale of the daily dial. A sign of an analogue, similar to the claimed device, is a mechanism for moving additional hands, as an indicator of the division of time on the hourly daily dial for visual indication of day and night. In the analogue under consideration, “A clock with a device for indicating day and night”, additional hands located on the central axis of the clock mechanism are driven by a gear mechanism (Fig. 8, Pos. 13, Pos. 12, Pos. 11, Pos. .10) and, using the connecting rods (Fig. 8, Pos. 8), the hands move (Fig. 6 Pos. 4), showing the time of sunrise and sunset on the scale of the daily dial.

In the inventive device "Mechanism for moving the clock hands showing the time of sunrise and sunset" connecting rod device (Fig.3, Pos.4, Pos.8) for moving additional hands (Fig.4, Pos.12.13), mounted on the central the axis of the connecting rods (Figure 3 Pos. 4) indicating the time of sunrise and sunset is set in motion by the slider (Figure 3, Pos. 10). The slider moves along the design groove (Fig. 3, Pos. 2), applied to the impeller (Fig. 3, Pos. 2), which performs one revolution per year with the help of a gear from the shaft of the clock hand (the gear is not shown in the drawing )

The main difference between the claimed device "Mechanism for moving the clock hands showing the time of sunrise and sunset" from the proposed analogue of "Clock with a device for indicating day and night" is to move additional hands along the calculated trajectory based on astronomical algorithms for the movement of the Earth and the Sun for a specified area created by a closed groove on the impeller of the mechanism. The movement of the arrows occurs when the slider moves in a closed groove on the impeller of the mechanism, with the subsequent conversion of this movement by the connecting rods to the reciprocating movement of the arrows. This increases the accuracy of the readings of sunrise and sunset times, and also helps to set the mechanism to work on the current date of the month at a point in the locality with the specified coordinates.

3.3.0 Disclosure of a utility model.

3.3.1.0. The utility model “The mechanism for moving the clock hands showing the time of sunrise and sunset” is based on the task of developing an additional clock mechanism with a daily dial, which will provide the following results:

3.3.1.1. Moving two additional hands mounted on the central axis of the clock mechanism on the daily dial to show the time of sunrise and sunset, taking into account the time zone and astronomical algorithms of sunrise and sunset on the current date during the year at a point in the locality with certain coordinates in latitude and longitude.

3.3.1.2. The ability to pre-set and adjust the readings of the arrows indicating the time of sunrise and sunset, according to the time zone, current date, latitude and longitude of the area;

3.3.1.3. The possibility of the "Mechanism for moving the clock hands showing the time of sunrise and sunset" from the main mechanism of mechanical and electromechanical watches with an analog daily dial.

3.3.2.0. To solve the tasks, "The mechanism for moving the clock hands showing the time of sunrise and sunset", the method of moving hands (Figure 4, Pos 12, Pos.13), indicating the time of sunrise and sunset, using the slider (Figure 3 , Pos. 10) moving along the groove of the calculated curve (Fig. 3, Pos. 2) plotted on the plane of the impeller (Fig. 3, Pos. 1). The impeller performs one revolution per year using a gear from the shaft clockwise (gear is not shown in the drawing).

The slider is a thin rod (Fig.3, Pos.10), one end of which moves along the groove (Fig.3, Pos.2) of the impeller (Fig.3, Pos.1). The middle part of the slider is fixed with washers (Fig. 3, Pos. 11) in the groove (Fig. 3, Pos. 9) of the guide bar (Fig. 3, Pos. 5). At the second end of the slide, movable connecting rods are fixed (Fig. 3, Pos. 8), transmitting movement to the crank hands (Fig. 3, Pos. 4) located on the central axis of the clock. On the axes of these connecting rods (Fig. 3, Pos. 4) additional arrows are installed indicating the time of sunrise and sunset (Fig. 4, Pos. 12, Pos. 13). When the impeller rotates, the slider moves along the groove of the design shape. At the same time, the slider converts the movement along the groove of the impeller into a linear reciprocating movement along the groove (Figure 3, Item 9) of the guide bar (Figure 3, Item 5). The movement from the slider is transmitted to the connecting rods (Fig. 3, Pos. 8), which are movably connected to the connecting rods of the arrows (Fig. 3, Pos. 4). The conversion of this movement using the connecting rods (Fig. 3, Pos. 8, Pos. 4) leads to the reciprocating movement of the arrows (Fig. 4, Pos. 12, Pos. 13) mounted on the axes of the connecting rods (Fig. 3, Pos. ,four). The arrow (Fig. 4, Pos. 12) shows the time of sunrise on the daily dial; the arrow (Fig. 4, Pos. 13) shows the time of sunset on the daily dial (the division of the daily dial (Fig. 4, Pos. 14) is shown in Figure 4 conditionally). If at this point in the terrain the geographical noon does not coincide with the noon of the time zone (the mismatch can be up to 1 hour, for Moscow, for example, the time lag of the half-time of the time zone is about 35 minutes), the half-day is set by shifting the guide bar (Fig. 3, Pos. .5) for the necessary time of mismatch on the dial scale (Figure 10).

To configure the mechanism before putting it into operation, an additional scale of months of the year is used on the impeller of the device (Figure 5, Item 15), with which the mechanism is installed on the current date of the month. To install the mechanism on a specific geographical latitude, the method of reinstalling the length of the connecting rods (Fig. 3, Pos. 4, Pos. 8) of the arrow drive is used. For this purpose, there are holes on the connecting rods (Fig. 3, Pos. 3, Pos. 7). When installing the connecting rods only at a certain geographic latitude of the terrain point, the adjustment holes may be absent, while the adjustment is made by completely replacing the connecting rods (Figure 5, Item 4 (2) and Figure 5, Item 8 (2)). To operate the mechanism in high latitudes, where sunrise and sunset on certain days is not possible (polar night or polar day), the impeller is installed with the corresponding shape of the software groove for the movement of the slider, and connecting rods with the shape enveloping the central axis of the clock. .8). Installation of the impeller for the current date is performed by an additional device for turning the impeller with a calendar, friction-connected to the main mechanism of the watch. The rotor device of the impeller has a device, as well as a device for turning the main clock hands. Monitoring for compliance of the mechanism readings with the current date of the month is performed by indicating the current month and date in an additional window on the watch dial (Fig. 10, Pos. 16. The watch dial with a window and hour division is shown conditionally. Date is June 22 (Fig. 10, Pos. .17) on the impeller in an additional window of the dial and the arrow of the guide bar of the proposed mechanism (Fig. 10, Pos. 5) indicate the date of installation of the proposed device on the largest daylight hours. 12 indicates 1 hour and noon hour of the area is not the same (lagging) the geographical 1 hour.

The rotation of the impeller in a manual way for setting by date is carried out by a gear connection of the impeller with a rotating head brought to the outside of the watch case depending on the design of the watch (manual, stationary).

3.3.2.1. The installation of the mechanism for moving the clock hands showing the time of sunrise and sunset to the initial state for starting the work is performed by two settings elements manually. First, by shifting the guide bar (FIG. 10, Pos. 5), the time difference between geographic half day (12 hours at the top of the dial) and hour half day (shift to the right or left on the time scale) with the orientation on the arrow of the guide bar in the clock window (FIG. .10, Pos. 16). After that, the rotary mechanism of the impeller (Fig.3, Pos.1) in the window of the dial (Fig.10, Pos.16) sets the current month and date of the current month with the accuracy possible for this dial. On this, the installation of the mechanism for moving the clock hands showing the time of sunrise and sunset for the given geographical latitude and time zone is completed. When changing the geographical latitude of the locality where this device will be used, it is necessary to replace the connecting rods, which move additional arrows, or change the length of the connecting rods by reinstalling the holes (Fig. 3, Pos. 3, Pos. 7). When changing the geographical longitude of the area, the adjustment is made by turning the guide bar (Figure 10, Item 5) to a new time zone, if there is another difference in the geographical half-day and half-time of the time zone in this time zone. You must also set the current time to a new time zone.

3.3.3.0. The design of the "Mechanism for moving the clock hands showing the time of sunrise and sunset" is advisable to perform in the form of a separate mechanism mounted on the platinum of the main watch mechanism and driven from the clockwise axis.

3.3.3.3. The mathematical calculation of the mechanism and the manufacturing technology of the proposed utility model are feasible and can be implemented in industrial production.

3.5.0.0. Implementation of a utility model.

3.5.1.0. The practical implementation of the proposed utility model "The mechanism for moving the clock hands showing the time of sunrise and sunset" can be performed using the mechanism for converting the rotational movement of the impeller, with the calculated groove, into the reciprocating movement of additional hands on the daily dial indicating the time of sunrise and Sunset at the current date, and at the coordinates of the terrain point. The movement is converted by a slider that moves along the groove (Fig. 3, Pos. 2) of the impeller (Fig. 3, Pos. 1) when it rotates at a speed of 1 revolution per year. At the same time, the slider moves along the groove (Fig. 3, Pos. 9) of the guide bar (Fig. 3, Pos. 5), causing the connecting rods (Fig. 3, Pos. 8) to move. On the central axes of the connecting rods (Fig. 3, Pos. 4), additional arrows are installed (Fig. 4, Pos. 12, Pos. 13), indicating the time of sunrise and sunset. The device has a mechanism for adjusting to the current date, which, with the help of a gear connection of the impeller with a rotating adjustment head, is displayed on the watch case. Installation on the time zone, as the time difference between the geographical noon and noon of the time zone, is set by turning the guide bar (Figure 3, Item 5, Figure 10, Item 5). Installation at a certain latitude of the terrain point is carried out by changing the length of the connecting rods, or reinstalling them, as well as, if necessary for high latitudes of the terrain, installing the impeller with a new design groove. Checking the operation of the mechanism for compliance with the current date is performed using the calendar of the months of the year printed on the impeller. Using the window on the watch dial (Fig. 10, Pos. 16), the current date of the day of the month is determined with the accuracy possible for this dial. On the days of the transition of the solstice from one phase to another (equinox, the largest daylight hours, the smallest daylight hours) on months: September, March, June, December, there are control points on the 22nd, by which the time of the transition phase is determined.

When switching to winter or summer time, it is necessary to translate the hour hand 1 hour forward or backward. The restructuring of the mechanism for moving additional arrows indicating the time of sunrise and sunset is not required.
