Description

Automatic flipping hourglass device

This creation is about an automatic flipping hourglass device. More specifically, after the twisting device of the music box is reversed, the sand flowing through the body of the hourglass body flows from the glass ball to the other glass ball. After a predetermined period of time, the main body of the hourglass is automatically inverted, so that a certain amount of quicksand in the main body of the hourglass can continuously reciprocate into the two glass spheres, and at the same time, an hourglass device for automatically turning over the music sound is emitted.

According to the prior knowledge, the traditional hourglass is a timing instrument. The hourglass is a device for measuring time. The hourglass is composed of two glass balls and a narrow connecting passage. The two glass balls are sealed with a certain amount of quicksand. The time above the glass ball passes through the narrow passage into the lower glass ball to measure the time. When all the sand has flowed to the lower glass ball, the hourglass can be reversed to measure another equal time. Because the hourglass is sealed, the flow time will be the same every time, or there will be a scale on the hourglass to know the time. It is also possible to control the amount of quicksand to obtain different times, and each side can be reversed after flowing.

However, the traditional hourglass has been used as a tool for measuring time. It has been replaced by a clock, a code table, an electronic timer, etc., so the traditional hourglass is mostly used for jewelry and viewing, and is less used for timing. The traditional hourglass has the same structure, and it is difficult to have new devices or new functions.

The traditional hourglass device is used for jewelry and viewing, but the structure is the same, it is not attractive. Usually, it is only a few times to reverse the sand leakage for several times, so the hourglass can not be placed. It is used as a static ornament.

Therefore, the creator of this case has proposed No. 103201102, "The Device of the Hourglass", the main The utility model is characterized in that: the hourglass main body is inverted and positioned by a rotating device; the rotating device comprises a body, a casing, a power mechanism and a clamping piece, and the seat body has a positioning concave portion for assembling the casing, and the casing There is a space for the main body of the hourglass to reverse, a power mechanism is assembled in the casing, the clamping piece is clamped to the main body of the hourglass, and the main body of the hourglass is inverted by a power mechanism; accordingly, the main body of the hourglass is automatically inverted by setting the power mechanism for a predetermined time. And with a predetermined quicksand in the main body of the hourglass, after the passage from the glass ball to the other glass ball, the main body of the hourglass is automatically inverted again, so that a certain amount of quicksand in the main body of the hourglass can continuously reciprocate into the two glass balls.

The above-mentioned creative products have been continuously evaluated since the launch, but the battery application motor is used. The power of the main body of the rotating hourglass, and the use of electronic components to sense and flip the main body of the hourglass, after all, the use of electric power, the user has no sense of participation, and does not operate in person, only press the switch, feel no fun.

The traditional hourglass device is used for jewelry and viewing, but the structure is the same. Unattractive, usually only briefly reversed several times to watch the sand leakage situation, and then put the hourglass in motion, just as a static ornament, although the creator of the case improved the main body of the hourglass by power-driven and induction, but the user did not participate. Feeling, no sense of operation, only pressing the switch, no fun.

In view of this, the creators of this case are still actively developing based on the above drawbacks. , research and improvement, and accumulated years of manufacturing and production experience, and finally have a creative enough to solve the above drawbacks.

The reason is that this creation provides an automatic flipping hourglass device, which is a The main body of the hourglass consists of two glass balls and a narrow passage. The two glass balls are sealed. A certain amount of quicksand, the passage connects two glass balls for the flow of sand in the glass ball to the other glass ball, the main body of the hourglass is inverted and positioned by a rotating device, and the rotating device is powered by a power mechanism; the feature is: the rotation The device comprises: a body, a bottom plate, a set of vertical boxes on the seat body, a set of boxes for a rotating body, a neutral plate and a gear positioning; a rotating body, pivoted in the set box and positioning the hourglass body, turn a ratchet wheel and at least one positioning bead are disposed on one side of the body; a neutral plate is located between the rotating body and the gear, pivotally connecting the rotating body and the gear, and has two positioning grooves, wherein the positioning groove is embedded in the positioning bead of the rotating body; The power mechanism is driven by a plurality of card bumps, and the card bumps are locked with the ratchets of the rotating body; a power mechanism has a small gear, and the pinion gears rotate; according to this, the pinion gears of the power mechanism are used Rotating, after the gear is idling for one turn, the card bump and the ratchet of the rotating body are engaged, the rotating body and the hourglass body are rotated, and the positioning bead is separated from the positioning groove, so that the main body of the hourglass is automatically poured within a predetermined time. Body hourglass, and the hourglass with the sand body a predetermined after another into the flow passage through the glass ball glass ball, again automatically inverted hourglass body.

The invention mainly relates to an automatic flipping hourglass device, the main purpose of which is to provide a twisting device for twisting a music box, after the sand flowing through the glass ball flows into another glass ball through the passage in the hourglass main body, after a predetermined time Reverse the main body of the hourglass so that a certain amount of quicksand in the main body of the hourglass can continuously reciprocate into the two glass spheres and simultaneously emit music.
