Abstract

An electronic watch is disclosed with a compass function and analogue display means provided with two hands (14, 15) for displaying the time in a time display mode and the direction of north in a compass mode. The watch includes a magnetic field direction sensor (27), associated with electronic circuits intended to process the signals from said sensor and to control the display means to indicate the direction of north. In the compass mode, the direction of north is indicated by means of the two hour and minute hands (14, 15) set in an aligned position, so that they have the same appearance as the magnetic needle of a conventional compass.

Description of the Invention (1) The present invention relates to an electronic watch with a compass function and an analog display mechanism. The analog display mechanism has two hands to display the mode in time. Hours show time, and North when in compass mode. The watch includes a magnetic field direction sensor, which is connected to an electronic circuit that processes signals from the sensor, and controls a display mechanism to indicate the north. This type of watch is the European patent application EP 7 1 3 1 6 2 (corresponding to Taiwan Patent Application No. 84 1 1 0489) filed by the applicant. The analog display mechanism of this watch includes two hands *, which are the hour and minute hands, respectively, which are driven by two electric motors to display the time in the time mode and. In other operating modes, including the compass mode, other indicators are displayed. In order to detect the magnetic north direction, the watch includes a sensor including a cage to accommodate a permanent magnet mounted on a shaft that can freely rotate about a rotation axis perpendicular to a general plane of the dial of the watch. Two Hall probes are installed around the cage. When the compass mode is activated, the probes calculate the magnetic axis direction of the magnet according to the electronic unit or correspond to the direction of the earth's magnetic north relative to the case and are supplied separately. Two detection signals. The electronic unit then controls the display mechanism, so the minute hand indicates the magnetic north direction. In the improved variation, in addition to indicating the magnetic north, the electronic unit can further provide a correction of the calculated direction by taking into account the local magnetic tilt plane previously introduced into the memory by the user. Therefore, the electronic unit determines the geographic north, and then controls the display mechanism so that the minute hand indicates the direction. In another mode, the pointer can indicate a different geographic direction to the north, such as the direction of Mecca. It should be noted that the north indication is executed in real time 'so' when the watch is rotated on the dial surface, the minute hand acting as a direction indicator is followed by I ----- Ϊ--J ---- equipment- --ill order! line (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) -4-Consumers ’cooperation with the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Du printed «43225 9 A7 ----- B7___ V. Description of Invention (2) Continued refers to the calculated direction. The angular direction of the magnetic axis of the magnet follows the X-γ coordinate system fixed relative to the case. The calculations for the North are performed at a set repeat frequency that may be similar to the current §. As a result, to the user, the minute hand acts like the magnetic needle of a conventional compass. However, the hour hand continues to display other indications, which may be other functions or time ° The reason this may be a disadvantage for the user is that when the watch is fixed, he may not notice that the watch is in compass mode or do not know The two hands indicate whether North is or not. The present invention relates to a wristwatch which prevents the above-mentioned disadvantages and indicates the north in a simple, easy-to-read, and unambiguous manner. The invention relates to a wristwatch as described in the introduction, characterized in that, in the compass mode, the north is indicated by two hands set at an aligned position. To the viewer, it is easy to understand that this display is almost similar to the conventional compass, that is, it includes only a single pointer extending across the dial, and therefore avoids any vague misunderstanding. Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention appear in the following description of the preferred embodiment, and are illustrated with reference to the drawings, in which: FIG. 1 is a top view of the watch of the present invention; FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the watch of FIG. ; And FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the watch of FIG. 1 along the III-III line, without a rotating bezel.

Description of the invention (7) The bottom surface of the board 30 also has a printed circuit connected to its top surface, to the inductor 2 6, and to the power connector to connect the circuit to Bottom battery in case 1. The inside of the case is divided into a sealing part and a pressure chamber 4 2 by a partitioning mechanism. The sealing chamber has all components between the printed circuit board 30 and the crystal 5 and the hard partition 4 3 of the partitioning mechanism. A 0-shaped gasket 4 4 is in close contact with the middle 2. The top surface of the partition 4 3 has a horizontal support surface 45 on the periphery of the perimeter and near the sensor 26 and abuts on the end 30 and passes through one of the shoulders 46 on the middle 2. The plate 3 0 is screwed into the thick portion 4 7 of the partition plate 4 3 by screws (not shown) and fixed to the partition plate 4 3. The partition plate 4 3 outside the support surface 4 5 is slightly concave at the top surface to leave a small vertical gap 4 8 Between and the circuit board 30. This allows the partition plate 43 to bend under the pressure of the lower part, which will not deform the circuit board 30 forming the core board. Because the partition plate 4 3 is thicker, such as the battery 40 thick Must be hard enough High pressure resistance, especially for diving watches. It can be made of synthetic materials or metal. The inner structure formed by the partition plate 4 3, the circuit board 3 ◦ and the distance piece 37 is fixed in the watch case 1 by conventional clamps (not shown). The clamps are fixed to the middle 2 and end against the partition 4 3 and press the structure against the shoulder 46 = the seal inside the case contains air or other gases. The pressure chamber 4.2 contains air and passes through more than one small hole 4 9 and the atmosphere Connected, if the small hole passes through the 3 perimeter of the back cover, it is often shaken by external surrounding pressure. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the separator 43 includes three openings 51, 52, and 53 with a battery 40, pressure, and temperature sensors 2 0 and an electro-acoustic converter 5 4 that provides a sound signal to the user. This converter includes a vibration plate 5 5 adhered to the partition 4 3 and a piezoelectric ceramic element 5 fixed to the side of the watch sealing portion on the plate 2 5 6.

Description of Invention (8) The opening 5 2 containing the sensor 2 6 is located near the periphery of the partition plate 4 3, and the supporting surface 4 5 of the partition plate bears on the periphery of the opening of the circuit board 30. Because the circuit board 30 is bent in the peripheral area, the amplitude is small. You don't need to worry about the excessive deformation of the circuit board 30, which is the core of the watch. The battery 40 is inserted into the battery holder 5 7 1 and the battery holder 5 7 is fixed to the bottom surface of the circuit board 30. A head cover 5 8 is used to seal and engage the partition 4 3 opening 5 1 (sealed with a ◦-shaped gasket to separate the pressure chamber 4 2. The head cover is covered with a shield 60 to prevent the battery from magnetically acting on the magnetic sensor and a stab seat system Wait to fix the head cover 5 8 to the partition 4 3. Note that in this example, the plate 5 5 and the head cover 5 8 cooperate with the partition 4 3 to divide the inside of the case into two parts. However, this element can be arranged differently and does not form a partition mechanism part. Pressure And the temperature sensor 26 is a cheap and conventional piezoresistive sensor. It consists of a micro-machined silicon element and includes a membrane. One side contacts the pressure around the pressure chamber 42. The other side carries the resistance of the bridge connection and arranges the resistance. The total resistance of the bridge 値 is only a function of temperature, and the pressure variation creates a bridge imbalance, resulting in a change in voltage between the output terminals. The connection wire 60 is directly connected to the circuit board 30, and the inductor 2 6 provides a integrated circuit 35, which The output signal is the pressure and temperature at which the sensor contacts. The sensor can be AM7 6 1 from Intersema Sensoric of Bevaix, Switzerland. The sensor 2 6 is protected by the ring 6 1 bonded to the board 30, and placed in the partition 4 3 of the opening 5 2, A silicone rubber 6 2 is coated with a wire 60 for protection. The rubber is an electrical insulator and waterproof. The O-shaped gasket 6 3 is preferably axially parallel to the watch mandrel 6 5 and is compressed between the ring 6 1 and the partition 4 3 —edge. And the core is flexible.

Description of the invention (9) Membrane 6 4 is sealed and sealed, and membrane 6 4 allows the pressure to be transmitted from chamber 4 2 to glue 6 2 and Sensor 2 6. Note that the film is optional, and its advantages can prevent the mobile pollution of the glue. In another example, the pad 6 3 without the film can be directly placed between the circuit board 30 and the partition 43, and at the upper edge of the opening 5 2 A ring-shaped recess in the vicinity. The above obvious advantage is that the partition 43 seals its opening with the elements 5 5, 5 8, 6 3 and 6 4, forming a hard sealed inner bottom, which can protect all electrical and movement components of the watch from Pressure and foreign objects are allowed to be arranged between it and the substantial bottom 3 of the case. A pressure chamber covers the entire bottom 3 area. The middle 2 can be simplified. It is fixed and easy to remove, because the bottom 3 is not affected by external pressure. As a result, the battery 40 is easy to replace, and the internal components are not easily damaged. In addition, the transmission signal of the converter 5 4 in the pressure chamber 4 2 is easily transmitted outward, without itself. Pass the bottom 3.
