Definitions

  • the invention relates to a clock, in particular table or wall clock according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Clocks especially table or wall clocks are known in various embodiments both in analog form and in digital form.
  • the common feature of these watches is that each watch is designed individually, without major changes are possible. It is only known to replace a dial module with several displays by another dial module with other displays.
  • the invention is based on the invention to provide a clock, in particular a table or wall clock, which is very variable in conception with regard to the display options.
  • the base module is a predetermined single central unit, which is equipped with an electrical control unit, which is responsible for all possible modules to be adapted.
  • the various modules such as display modules and special modules, for example time signal receivers, can then be adapted to this central unit.
  • the individual module units are firmly connected to each other, so that they form a stable work unit.
  • the type of mounting options is to be designed so that they are compatible with each other and thus the modules on both sides, optionally on the top or bottom can be connected to each other. It is thus possible by the special drive and / or control system, the combination of multiple displays that operate synchronized and are supplied centrally from the control unit of the central unit.
  • Each module has its own functionality in the overall system of the clock and realizes a very specific part of the display. For example, one module is responsible for displaying the second while another module displays the day of the week.
  • Each display module is capable and has the "intelligence" to understand the electrical control signals of the control unit of the central unit, to control its display and to send information back to the central unit. All modules are from controlled and controlled by the central unit.
  • the number of combinable modules is open. At the minimum, a single display module is adapted to the central unit. Starting from this minimal combination, the system can theoretically be extended arbitrarily. Possible displays are hour, minute, second, date, day, month, calendar week, moon phase, sun history, etc.
  • one or more transmission modules for the display modules to be adapted can be adapted to the central unit.
  • the transmission modules can be designed for two pointers or for three pointers.
  • the central unit is supplemented by one or more transmission modules, which are mechanically fixed depending on the structural conditions with the existing central unit. Electrical contacts can be made via cable, but also via electrical connectors.
  • Each individual transmission module can be detected in such a way that the position of the display can be controlled, for example by means of a reference position, controlled by a light barrier and, if necessary, corrected fully automatically.
  • a preferred development for analog clocks proposes according to claim 2, that at the central unit one or more transmission modules for the display modules to be adapted are adaptable.
  • the transmission modules can be designed for two pointers or for three pointers.
  • the central unit is supplemented by one or more transmission modules, which are mechanically fixed depending on the structural conditions with the existing central unit. Electrical contacts can be made via cable, but also via electrical connectors.
  • Each individual transmission module can be detected in such a way that the position of the display can be controlled, for example by means of a reference position, controlled by a light barrier and, if necessary, corrected fully automatically.
  • the central unit has one or more battery compartment m od u Ie.
  • the central unit is supplemented by one or more battery compartment modules, which are also firmly connected here depending on the structural conditions with the central unit.
  • the electrical contacts are made via cables, but also via electrical connectors.
  • additional special modules may be adaptable, such as time signal receiver.
  • the development according to claim 5 proposes controls for the central unit. These can be mounted as buttons / switches on the back of the central unit. Furthermore, interfaces to the peripheral environment can be provided at the central unit.
  • the central unit also have a display itself.
  • the development according to claim 7 proposes that all information between the central processing unit and the display modules can be transmitted in a bidirectional manner via an electronic or optical serial data connection.
  • individual display modules are housed in a housing separate from the main housing, there is also the possibility of transmission of the data by radio, to avoid having to lay cables between the main body and the Dependance housing for data transmission.
  • connection of the display modules with the central unit are according to the embodiment in claim 8, two methods conceivable, namely on the one hand, the electrically parallel connection, ie in star shape, or the serial connection, ie in chain form.
  • the position of the modules in the system is freely selectable.
  • the displays of the display modules are preferably analog with pointers. But there are also digital ads possible.
  • the clock is radio-controlled. This means that the clock receives a central time signal and thus the exact time can be displayed by means of the clock.
  • Fig. 1 shows the basic structure of the clock in a schematic representation
  • Fig. 2a the possibility of a star-shaped structure
  • Fig. 2b shows the possibility of a bus-shaped structure
  • FIG. 3a shows a concrete representation of a clock
  • Fig. 3b shows the central unit of the clock
  • Fig. 3c shows the clock in Fig. 3a, but with the dial "transparent" is shown;
  • Fig. 3d is a representation corresponding to that in Fig. 3c, but from the other side.
  • Fig. 1 shows in a purely schematic way the basic structure and the concept of the clock. It is provided a central control of a central unit with an electrical control unit. To this central control a plurality of modules, in particular in the form of transmission modules and display modules can be adapted. These modules can be freely combined with each other.
  • Fig. 2a shows on the one hand the possibility of a star-shaped structure of the electrical control and Fig. 2b shows a bus-shaped structure of the electrical control.
  • Fig. 3a to 3d a concrete technical embodiment of an analog wall or table clock is shown.
  • Fig. 3a shows the complete clock, as well as Fig. 3c and 3d.
  • FIG. 3b shows a part of the clock, namely the central unit 1, which can be used as a base module for a very wide variety of combinations of modules.
  • This central unit 1 has a control unit 2, which, however, is only indicated purely schematically.
  • the central unit 1 on different places. At these places, a variety of transmission modules 3 can be adapted, which are available in the drive system. In the illustrated embodiment, these transmission modules 3 are used to adapt specifically display modules 4, as indicated in Fig. 3a. If other display modules 4 are to be used, then correspondingly different transmission modules 3 are to be adapted in the central unit 1.
  • the transmission module 3 in the middle additionally accommodates the control unit 2. Reference is made
