Description

Technical field

The utility model relates to the field of watch technology, to clockworks with an arrow indicating the time, and, more specifically, to watches of a complicated type with additional functions of indicating color on the dial of the periods of the day, mainly the periods of the day, night-morning or morning-day-evening-night.

State of the art

Separate counting of day and night hours has been known since ancient times. The daily change of day and night gave humanity a reason to highlight the first units of time.

The earliest hours, the solar gnomons, for obvious reasons, "worked" only in the daytime, in the daytime, and their dial was traditionally divided into twelve parts, corresponding to twelve hours of the day.

By the term "period" (from the Greek. Periodos - bypass, cycle, a certain circle of time) understand the period of time (stage, stage) of any process, in which a certain part of the general process, during which something happens (begins, develops and ends) [1, 2, 3].

Chronologist of the XX century Elias Bickerman, a professor at Columbia University in the United States, reports: “The division into hours is first observed in Egypt. Already around 2100 BC Egyptian priests used the system from 24 hours: 10 hours. day, 2 hours of twilight and 12 night hours. This scheme, based on the decimal count, is about 1300 BC. was replaced by a simpler system in which day and night were allotted for 12 hours. The Babylonians also assigned 12 hours a day and night. The Greeks, according to Herodotus, adopted this system from the Babylonians ”[4].

In ancient Rome, daylight was divided into 12 hours, combined in four parts of three hours each; afternoon was considered the third quarter of daylight hours, covering the period from noon to the end of the "ninth hour of the day" [5].

This division lost its significance only at the end of the Middle Ages, after the constant division of the day into 24 hours of equal duration prevailed [6].

The dial of any watch is primarily intended to indicate the current time of day.

Historically, there are two types of watch dials - with a twelve-hour (12-hour) and twenty-four hour (24-hour) breakdowns.

The 12-hour dial is much older than its 24-hour one, since it appeared in ancient Babylon and Egypt, and served to indicate daylight hours with the help of the gnomon.

In the early mechanical watches, a 24-hour dial prevailed.

Famous watches with a 24-hour dial include the Giovanni Dondi astronomical clock, created by him in the mid-14th century [7]

Often the 24-hour dial had a dual duodecimal display with the division of hour markers into daytime (usually on the right side of the dial) and night (on the left side) hours.

From the 15th to 16th centuries, the 12-hour dial has taken a dominant position, as a simpler and more economical option - in the sense of the number of hours occupied by the place on the dial.

24-hour dials began to be used mainly for complex watches, such as astronomical or chronometers.

Currently, 24-hour dials, especially in wrist and pocket watches, are practically not used, although they allow you to accurately and unambiguously show the current time of day.

Dials with a 12-hour scale possessed and have one uncomfortable feature - day and night hours on them are displayed the same, with the same numbers, signs or symbols, which often leads to an erroneous determination of time in the daytime and at night.

This was not difficult in the era of sundials, because the gnomons simply could not physically display the night hours due to the absence of sun at night in the sky.

With the advent of mechanical watches operating at any time of the day, this monotony began to cause certain difficulties, especially in foggy weather, when morning is like evening, or during periods of polar days and nights.

To prevent such confusion, resourceful watchmakers in watches with a 12-hour dial introduced such an hour extension as an am / pm indicator of the day and night hours (from Latin - ante meridiem / post meridiem - until noon / afternoon).

Traditionally, the indication of the periods of the day am / pm was carried out using a rotating disk, painted in light and dark colors. Sometimes the images of the Moon and the Sun were applied to the disk, which also corresponded to night and day hours. The disk rotated at a speed of one revolution in 24 hours and sequentially delimited the day into two periods - day and night.

Thus, the traditional mechanical indicators of the day and night in the hours suggest a two-phase format of the daily cycle or two periods of the day for 12 hours each.

For example, it is known a device that allows you to display the days of the week in one color - at night and in the morning until 12 noon and in another color - in the afternoon and evening after twelve hours [8].

In all mechanical watches there is a clock mechanism, issuing certain time intervals to the actuator [9].

The main components of the clock mechanism are: a regulator (oscillator - oscillatory system), descent (travel system), the main wheel system, engine, switch mechanism (actuator), mechanism of the spring plant and the movement of the hands (repair).

The regulator controls the operation of the stroke, regulates the opening of the spring or lowering the weight. Oscillations of the regulator, ensuring the uniformity of the clock, are strictly periodic.

The descent is an intermediate node of the mechanism. It interacts with the main wheel system and the regulator.

The descent periodically releases the gear train and converts the spring energy into pulses transmitted to the regulator to maintain its oscillations. With the help of the descent, the controller controls the rotation of the gear transmission in such a way that with each half-oscillation of the wheel, the wheels rotate at certain angles, the value of which depends on the design of the descent and the number of gear teeth.

The main wheel system consists of gears and performs two functions: transfers energy from the engine through the descent to the regulator and counts the number of oscillations of the regulator. Through the main wheel system, movement is transmitted to the switch mechanism.

The engine - a clockwork spring or weight is the source of energy in the watch. It stores energy, and then for a long time drives the regulator through the wheel system and supports its vibrations, and also rotates the arrows.

The switch mechanism transmitting movement from the main wheel system to the arrows consists of a system of gears and tribes.

The mechanism of the winding of the spring and the translation of the hands makes it possible to manually set the clock spring and set the hands in the desired position. This mechanism consists of a crown with a crown, a system of levers and gears.

The dial mechanism serves in hours for continuous counting of the number of oscillations made by the regulator and for displaying this count in generally accepted units of time (hour, minute).

The hands, continuously moving, indicate the time on the watch dial.

The switch mechanism usually consists of a minute tribe (minute book), a bill wheel and a clock wheel. In a wall clock with a battle, the minute tribe has an additional one or two pins for unlocking the combat mechanism (or a lifting washer with two wings).

The principle of operation of the dial mechanism in all watches is usually the same. In contrast to the transmission mechanism, in the switch mechanism, the leading link is the tribe, and the driven one is the wheel. The main function of the switch mechanism is to set the hands in motion to indicate the time on the dial.

In a normal watch with a 12-hour dial, the clock mechanism is performed with the possibility of completing the clockwise two full revolutions per day.

In watches with a 24-hour dial, the clock mechanism is performed with the possibility of clockwise making one full revolution per day.

In addition to the main function of the watch - time display - modern mechanical watches often perform additional display functions, such as indicating the day of the week, day of the month, moon phase, periods of the day, for example day and night.

Known clockwork with a dial indication company Eberhard E Co. Sa (CH) authors Brand Charles (CH), Jeanne Pierre (CH), which has additional functions and mechanisms, in which the convenience of reading the indication, the clock mechanism contains movable elements designed to fix on them the hands indicating the hours and minutes of the current time, mounted with the possibility rotation relative to the first axis (AA), located in the center of this clockwork, and four movable elements, designed to place arrows on them, providing an indication of additional functions. According to the invention, said four movable elements are mounted to rotate on this clockwork relative to the second (B-B), third (C-C), fourth (D-D) and fifth (E-E) axes located on one straight line (X-X) perpendicular to these axes. In this case, the second (BB) and fifth (EE) axes of rotation can form with the aforementioned first axis of rotation (AA) the vertices of an isosceles triangle (ABE), the base of which is located on the said line, and the angle at the vertex (A) of this triangle can be range from 120 ° to 180 ° [11].

There are well-known companies such as Tag Hoyer SA (CH) Beling Christoph (CB), RENO Gregoire (CH), Tom's CORE (CH), capable of displaying information independent of absolute time, which is easy to read to obtain auxiliary functions of the watch due to the fact that the watch is equipped with multifunctional window display tool capable of displaying characters corresponding to one or more special functions and date. The movement of the display discs is provided by reversible electric motors. Display discs or mobile devices have several series of digits of different colors to differentiate the display of various functions [12].

Moreover, according to the invention, for at least one of the step positions of the first movable display means, one additional indication independent of tens for the date is displayed simultaneously in the same window [13].

A watch is known with a liquid crystal dial, which changes color when the time changes between morning and evening. The watch contains a power supply for activating said liquid crystals, a custom synchronization circuit, an electronic circuit for changing the voltage applied to at least part of the liquid crystals for automatic color change. The liquid crystal part of the dial, as indicated by the synchronization circuit, indicates a change in time between AM and PM. The watch can have manual control, such as buttons, which, when pressed, allow you to change any of several colors, as needed by the user [14].

A watch with a dual-display clock is known as a part of a dial with a module that selectively changes the background to display the time of day. The analog display changes color from above creating unique optical effects and has a structure with much smaller overall thickness. A new configuration of the internal components of the watch is used, which leads to a significant reduction in the thickness of the watch, increasing user comfort. The positioning configuration includes two small power sources in the same spatial plane of the printed circuit board and an analog clock with combined movement. Large 1.5 V batteries are placed directly behind the display. It uses micro-control of the main analog movements and color changes of the liquid crystal display [15].

A known system and apparatus for displaying local time without numbering, which includes a set of multi-colored flat areas that individually represent hours and minutes. Each region configured in 12 hour and 60 minute cycles uses a specific color spectrum sequence. The fill colors of each flat region proceeds to the next color order over time, according to the sequence of the spectrum set by the user, the system provides a virtual interface that can be displayed on a wide variety of screens, monitors, and specialized watches and dials [16].

A watch is known for a dial with a variable image by means of a plate formed in the phototechnological mode or other modes and with a plurality of stereo structures in various structures or shapes or colors that can be displayed when viewed from different angles. When the plate shaft rotates by hand, the array or color design gradually changes cyclically for viewers standing in a fixed position [17].

[19 (prototype)].

The technical disadvantages of the known analogue methods that are eliminated by the implementation of the patented object are the complexity of the design, the presence on the dial of additional elements - indicators of the periods of the day, making it difficult to perceive the current time on the dial of the watch.

Utility Model Implementation

As a clock mechanism, almost any quartz or mechanical standard-produced clock mechanism can be used with an arrow indicating the current time in its standard function of uniform rotation of the axes and counting time, and having output shafts, an hour axis and a minute axis, on which the hour and minute are normally mounted arrows.

Mechanical means of indicating periods of the day, includes:

- a actuator for switching the actuator of the means for indicating the periods of the day, transmitting rotational movement from the clock mechanism to the actuator of the means for indicating the periods of the day and a switching actuator for indicating the periods of the day during alternating periods of the day, and

- the actuator of the means of indicating the periods of the day providing mechanically a cyclical change in color, color intensity or color brightness of the dial in alternating periods of the day.

The means of indicating the periods of the day is intended to convert the movement of the clock mechanism, usually with the rotation from the elements of the clock system of the clock mechanism, into the movement of images on the dial or changing the colors of the dial zone changing color, coordinated by synchronizing the clock mechanism and the position of the clock hands and the color of the zone dial changing color with a daily cycle.

The drive of the actuator of the actuator of the means for indicating the periods of the day is interfaced with the clock mechanism, usually with the elements of the arrow system, and converts the movement of the clock mechanism into the movement of the movable element of the actuator of the means of the indicator of the periods of the day with an alternating image, which is coordinated by setting the position of the arrows relative to the resulting dark and a bright image with a cyclical daily movement of the clock and a clock mechanism.

The movement transmitted to the actuator of the means for indicating the periods of the day can be either spasmodic or continuous.

The actuator of the means for indicating the periods of the day is interfaced with the actuator of the switching means of the actuator for the indication of the periods of the day, and contains movable and fixed elements with movable and still images, while on the moving image, rays may not be made with alternating two colors, and colors may be larger, 3, 4 or more, and an alternating smoothly changing radially applied image may also be applied.

A movable disk with a moving image is driven by a means of switching the actuator of the means for indicating the periods of the day, and when the corresponding period of the day is changed, it rotates a certain angle with a once-a-day cycle.

The drive of the switching means of the actuator of the means for indicating the periods of the day as shown in FIG. The design variant 9 works as follows: A tribe 14 is mounted on the clock wheel 6, through which movement is transmitted to the gearbox containing wheels and tribes: the first gear wheel 15, the tribes of the first gear wheel 16, the second gear wheel 21, the tribes of the second gear wheel 22, the drive smooth shift wheel 23. The gear ratio of the gearbox is 60, that is, for one revolution of the clock wheel 6, the smooth shift drive wheel makes 1/60 of a revolution. Or per day it rotates 1/30 of a circle. And if, for example, 60 alternating colored rays, 30 of one color and 30 of another are placed on the disk, then the image of one color gradually changes to an image of another in a day.

The drive of the actuator switching means of the instrument for indicating periods of the day with an abrupt change in the color of the zone of the dial according to another embodiment shown in FIG. 10 works as follows: From the clock wheel 6 of the clock mechanism, the movement is transmitted to the reversing clock wheel 17, on which there is a pin, which is one every 12 hours switches the sprocket 19, fixed by the latch 20 on one tooth. A disk with a moving image 9 is mounted on the axis of the sprocket. The number of teeth of the sprocket is calculated so that when it rotates by one tooth, the alternating colored image on the disk 9 rotates by one phase. That is, for example, if 60 alternating colored rays, 30 of one color and 30 of another, are placed on the disk, then the number of teeth can also be chosen equal to 60, or a multiple of 60.

The relative position of the moving and still images changes with changing periods of the day in smooth or discrete spasmodic movements, for example, two or four times a day showing dark and light periods of the day through the mechanisms shown in the figures of the drawings.

To indicate different periods of the day, it is possible to use discs painted, for example, in the following colors: the top disc is painted alternating with transparent blue, the bottom disc is painted in alternating black and white colors.

Thus, in this case, we get, for example, a combined color in two-phase motion:

1st phase: blue + white = blue, for the period of the day “day”,

2nd phase: blue + black = deep blue, for the period of day “night”.

With a discrete jump-like change in the relative position of the moving and still images, fixed periods of the day are fixed for a certain time, for example, from 18.00 to 6.00 dark blue, then the phase changes from 6.00 to 18.00 blue, or the color of the dial changes from dark blue to blue (with dark to light) occurs at moments of sunrise and sunset, which can be determined using an additional device that takes into account the geographical latitude, day in year and transmitting information about changing day to night by moving ya communicated to the actuator means of indication of the periods of the day. This additional device may be included in the design of the actuator switching means of the actuator means for indicating periods of the day.

With a smooth change in the relative position of the moving and still images, the color of the dial changes from dark blue to blue evenly for half a day by using the drive of the switching means of the actuator for indicating the periods of the day, which is made in the smooth switching variant (Fig. 9).

The color change of the dial from dark blue to blue can occur unevenly, according to the length of the day and night. By means of an additional device that takes into account latitude, day in year and transmits information about the duration of the day and night by means of movement of the means of indicating the periods of the day communicated to the executive mechanism. This additional device may be included in the actuator switching means of the actuator means for indicating periods of the day.

The image on the lower disk can have not only two alternating colors, but also three, four or more different alternating colors (Figs. 11-13).

It can also have alternating colors smoothly changing into one another (Fig. 14).

The dial can have not only a round, but for example an oval and other shape.

The changing color zone of the dial may have a round or oval shape, and the movable element under the dial may have a round shape.

When assembling the clock, the synchronization of the clockwise position and the color combination of the moving and still images must be observed, depending on the indicated period of the day according to the clockwise position on the watch dial. This may be necessary so that the position of the arrows showing the current time corresponds to the dark and daylight hours by appropriate installation of the arrow. For example, if we have a smooth change of colors from dark to light, then when the most dark color appears on the dial, the hands are set at 12 o’clock in the morning.

The process of forming the color of the zone of the dial changing the color is the result of visual fusion of differently or evenly colored alternating elements as a result of visual combination of the upper and lower images.

As options for the design of individual parts, components of the watch mechanism and means of indicating the periods of the day, known, traditional for watch production technologies, materials and design solutions used in watch technology can be used [20, 21, 22, 23].

The proposed original watches with indication of the periods of the day by the color of the dial provide a confident solution to the problem and achieve the required technical result, namely, they allow the production and use of simple, simple to manufacture watches with the usual 12 or 24-hour division of the dial, which allows, without additional indicators on the dial and without impairing the readability of time on the dial, show in different colors different periods of the day - before noon and in the afternoon, day-night, at ro-day-evening-night for a clear and unambiguous demarcation of daytime hours from and night hours, and eliminate errors associated with the display on a conventional dial different values of hours in different periods of the day by the same numerals, characters or symbols.

Thus, given the novelty of the set of essential features, the technical solution of the problem, the inventive step and the significance of all the general and particular features of the utility model, proven in the section "prior art" and "Disclosure of a utility model", proven in the section "Implementation and industrial implementation of the utility model ", Technical feasibility and industrial applicability of the utility model, solving inventive problems and confidently achieving the required technical result in real To the generation and use of the utility model, the claimed group of inventions, in our opinion, satisfies all the eligibility requirements for utility models.

A detailed disclosure of the design and functioning also shows that all the general and particular features of the utility model are essential, since each of them is necessary, and together they are not only sufficient to achieve the purpose of the utility model and are in a causal relationship with the technical result, but and allow you to implement a utility model in an industrial way.
