[0046] Typical embodiments that embody the features and advantages of the present invention will be described in detail in the following description. It should be understood that the present invention can have various changes in different embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention, and the descriptions and illustrations therein are essentially used for illustration purposes rather than for limiting the present invention.

[0047] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0048] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "disposed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0049] As mentioned in the background technology section, existing watch products have the problem of being monotonous, having similar styles, and having low appeal to consumers.

[0050] Based on this, combined with reference Figures 1 to 5 The present invention provides a timer 10 and a clock having the timer 10. The timer 10 includes a dial 100 and a rotating disk 200. The dial 100 is provided with an indication area 110 and a non-indication area 120 extending along its circumference. The rotating disk 200 is rotatably connected to the dial 100. A first pointer 210 and a second pointer 220 are arranged on the upper surface of the rotating disk 200 at intervals. The rotating disk 200 can rotate around its axis so that the first pointer 210 and the second pointer 220 alternately enter the indication area 110 and alternately enter the non-indication area 120.

[0051] It should be noted that the clock in the present invention should be understood in a broad sense. The clock can be used as a separate timing product, including but not limited to wristwatches, desk clocks, and wall clocks. The clock can also be a device with a timing function on other equipment, such as a timing device with a timing function on a car dashboard. As long as the timing scheme using the timing principle of the timer 10 of the present invention is used, it should be within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0052] In this embodiment, the timer 10 is the main part of the watch head, and the watch head can be fixed on the wrist through accessories such as a watch strap to achieve the purpose of decoration and time reading. The watch head and the watch strap constitute a watch worn on the wrist.

[0053] The indication area 110 is provided with scales for displaying minutes. Specifically, there are 60 scales for indicating the number of minutes, each scale indicates an interval of one minute, and a thicker scale is provided every 5 scales to indicate a full 5 minutes or a full 10 minutes, so that the user can more conveniently identify the specific number of minutes. It is understood that the scale of the indication area 110 can also be provided with other numbers of scales and the spacing between the scales can be adjusted. In addition, the indication area 110 can also be provided with text or logos for indicating solar terms, months, quarters, years, etc., and the specific numbers or logos can be freely set by the manufacturer according to needs.

[0054] In this embodiment, the indication area 110 and the non-indication area 120 on the dial 100 are both extended along the circumference of the dial 100, and the indication area 110 and the non-indication area 120 are both extended 180 degrees in the circumference of the dial 100, so that the time spent by the pointer passing through the indication area 110 is the same as the time spent passing through the non-indication area 120. In this way, the first pointer 210 and the second pointer 220 alternately point to the indication area 110 and alternately point to the non-indication area 120. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the extension range of the indication area 110 and the non-indication area 120 can be freely adjusted as needed.

[0055] For ease of understanding, the two ends of the indication area 110 are named as the first end 111 and the second end 112, and the two ends of the non-indication area 120 are named as the third end 121 and the fourth end 122, respectively, and the alternating pointing of the first pointer 210 and the second pointer 220 is exemplarily described:

[0056] In the first hour (60 minutes), the rotating disk 200 rotates to drive the first pointer 210 to move from the first end 111 of the indicating area 110 to the second end 112, and the first pointer 210 rotates 180 degrees around the axis of the rotating disk 200; at the same time, the second pointer 220 moves from the third end 121 of the non-indicating area 120 to the fourth end 122, and the second pointer 220 rotates 180 degrees around the axis of the rotating disk 200;

[0057] In the second hour (60 minutes), the rotating disk 200 rotates and drives the first pointer 210 to rotate from the second end 112 of the indication area 110 to the fourth end 122 via the third end 121 of the non-indication area 120, and the first pointer 210 rotates 180 degrees around the axis of the rotating disk 200; at the same time, the second pointer 220 rotates from the fourth end 122 of the non-indication area 120 to the second end 112 via the first end 111 of the indication area 110, and the second pointer 220 rotates 180 degrees around the axis of the rotating disk 200.

[0058] This cycle is repeated to achieve the alternate pointing of the first pointer 210 and the second pointer 220 in the indication area 110 and the non-indication area 120, so as to achieve a better visual effect and be more attractive to consumers.

[0059] It should be noted that in other embodiments, a third pointer, a fourth pointer, etc. may be set to alternately point to the indication area 110, and the extension range of the indication area 110 and the non-indication area 120 may be adjusted accordingly, which is still within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0060] Combined with reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 , Figure 5 The dial 100 is provided with a convex stud 130, which is connected to the dial 100, and the first pointer 210 and the second pointer 220 are both rotatably connected to the rotating disk 200. When the rotating disk 200 rotates to a preset angle, the convex stud 130 abuts against the pointer and drives the pointer to rotate. In this embodiment, the convex stud 130 is cylindrical. In other embodiments, the convex stud 130 can also be set to other shapes, such as square, cone, etc. As long as the convex stud 130 protrudes from the dial 100 and directly or indirectly drives the pointer to rotate, the technical solution is within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0061] It should be noted that the preset angle in the present invention can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the protruding stud 130, and the preset angle is not limited to a specific angle. In this embodiment, the number of the protruding studs 130 is two, and in other embodiments, the manufacturer can also adjust the number and position of the protruding studs 130 as needed.

[0062] It can be understood that the timer 10 generally indicates the time by having one end of the pointer point to the scale or other mark of the indication area 110. The other end of the pointer is generally not provided with a structure or is provided with a shorter part so that consumers can visually identify the indicating end of the pointer. The convex stud 130 can be used as a reversing structure. Before the pointer enters the indication area 110, the convex stud 130 drives the pointer to rotate so that the indicating end of the pointer points to the indication area 110. When the pointer leaves the indication area 110, the convex stud 130 drives the pointer to rotate so that the other end of the pointer points to the non-indication area 120. In this way, the user can directly recognize the indication of the time by the pointer, and the rotating pointer has a more sporty aesthetic, and together with the rotating disk 200, it forms a visual effect similar to the movement of galaxies.

[0063] Combined with reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The rotating disk 200 is provided with a groove wheel 230 adapted to the position of the convex nail 130, and the groove wheel 230 is rotatably connected to the rotating disk 200 and the groove wheel 230 is connected to the pointer. Figure 5 The timer 10 is shown to further include a turntable 140 fixed on the dial 100, the turntable 140 is located on a side of the dial 100 close to the rotating disk 200, and an arc groove 141 is provided at a position of the turntable 140 close to the convex nail 130, and the convex nail 130 is connected to the turntable 140. When the rotating disk 200 rotates to a preset angle, the edge of the groove wheel 230 abuts against the outer edge of the turntable 140, the convex nail 130 enters the notch of the groove wheel 230 and drives the groove wheel 230 to rotate, and a part of the structure of the groove wheel 230 enters the arc groove 141 of the turntable 140, and the groove wheel 230 drives the corresponding pointer to rotate.

[0064] Specifically, the timer 10 further includes a movement 20, the turntable 140 and the dial 100 are both fixed on the movement 20, the groove wheel 230 rotates around the turntable 140, the arc-shaped outer edge of the groove wheel 230 abuts against the arc-shaped outer edge of the turntable 140, and the convex nail 130 abuts against and enters the notch of the groove wheel 230 to drive the groove wheel 230 to rotate, thereby reducing the collision and wear between the groove wheel 230 and the convex nail 130, and at the same time, the rotation reversal of the groove wheel 230 is smoother and the rotation angle is more accurate. In addition, the arc-shaped groove 141 provides an avoidance space for the rotation of the groove wheel 230.

[0065] refer to Figure 5 The slot of the groove wheel 230 is provided with an arc surface 233, and the convex nail 130 contacts the arc surface 233 to enter or leave the slot of the groove wheel 230. By providing the arc surface 233, the convex nail 130 can enter or leave the slot more smoothly, and the friction and wear between the convex nail 130 and the slot can be reduced.

[0066] It should be noted that in some possible embodiments, the dial 100 may not be provided with a groove wheel 230, but the rotation is achieved by the pointer directly touching the convex nail 130. This will make the rotation of the pointer unstable and the rotation angle not fixed, resulting in inaccurate timing, but the rotation effect can still be achieved and it is still within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0067] Specifically, the groove wheel 230 includes a first groove wheel 231 adapted to the position of the first pointer 210 and a second groove wheel 232 adapted to the position of the second pointer 220, and the protruding nail 130 includes a first protruding nail 131 adapted to the position of the first groove wheel 231 and a second protruding nail 132 adapted to the position of the second groove wheel 232. In this way, during the rotation of the rotating disk 200, the first protruding nail 131 enters the notch of the first groove wheel 231 and drives the first groove wheel 231 to rotate, so as to drive the first pointer 210 to rotate, and the second protruding nail 132 enters the notch of the second groove wheel 232 and drives the second groove wheel 232 to rotate, so as to drive the second pointer 220 to rotate. The rotation of the first pointer 210 and the second pointer 220 do not interfere with each other, the rotation is more stable, and the timing is more accurate.

[0068] In this embodiment, the first pointer 210 includes a first long rod 211 and a first short rod 212. The length of the first long rod 211 is greater than the length of the first short rod 212 and allows the user to clearly determine that the first long rod 211 is the indicating end of the first pointer 210. The angle between the first long rod 211 and the first short rod 212 is 180 degrees. The first protruding nail 131 drives the first groove wheel 231 to rotate and drives the first pointer 210 to rotate 180 degrees, so that the first long rod 211 and the first short rod 212 alternately point to the outer periphery of the dial 100, and the first long rod 211 points to the indicating area 110 of the dial 100, and the first short rod 212 points to the non-indicating area 120 of the dial 100. Of course, the number of the first long rod 211 and the first short rod 212 can be freely set as needed, and the angle between the first long rod 211 and the first short rod 212 also changes accordingly.

[0069] Specifically, the first groove wheel 231 is provided with a first driving gear 2311, and the first pointer 210 is provided with a first driven gear 213 meshing with the first driving gear 2311. The number of teeth of the first driving gear 2311 is twice the number of teeth of the first driven gear 213. In this way, by setting the gear ratio, the rotation angle of the first pointer 210 is twice the rotation angle of the first groove wheel 231. In the process of the first protruding nail 131 driving the first groove wheel 231 to rotate, the first groove wheel 231 rotates 90 degrees around its axis, and at the same time, the first groove wheel 231 drives the first pointer 210 to rotate 180 degrees. Of course, the number of teeth of the first driving gear 2311 and the second gear can be freely set, as long as the gear ratio of the first driving gear 2311 to the first driven gear 213 is 2, it should be within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0070] In this embodiment, the second pointer 220 includes two second long rods 221 and two second short rods 222. The length of the second long rod 221 is greater than the length of the second short rod 222 and allows the user to clearly determine that the second long rod 221 is the indicating end of the second pointer 220. The second long rod 221 and the second short rod 222 are alternately arranged, and the angle between the second long rod 221 and the second short rod 222 is 90 degrees.

[0071] During the rotation of the rotating disk 200, the second protruding nail 132 enters the notch of the second groove wheel 232 and drives the second groove wheel 232 to rotate, so as to drive the second pointer 220 to rotate 90 degrees, so that the second long rod 221 and the second short rod 222 alternately point to the indication area 110 and the non-indication area 120 of the dial 100. Of course, the number of the second long rod 221 and the second short rod 222 can be freely set as needed, and the angle between the second long rod 221 and the second short rod 222 also changes accordingly.

[0072] Specifically, the second grooved wheel 232 is provided with a second driving gear 2321. The second pointer 220 is provided with a second driven gear 223 meshing with the second driving gear 2321, and the number of teeth of the second driven gear 223 is equal to the number of teeth of the second driven gear 223. In this way, by setting the gear ratio, the rotation angle of the second pointer 220 is equal to the rotation angle of the second grooved wheel 232. In the process of the second protruding nail 132 driving the second grooved wheel 232 to rotate, the second grooved wheel 232 rotates 90 degrees around its axis, and at the same time, the second grooved wheel 232 drives the second pointer 220 to rotate 90 degrees. Of course, the number of teeth of the second driving gear 2321 and the second driven gear 223 can be freely set, as long as the number of teeth of the second driven gear 223 is equal to that of the second driving gear 2321, it should be within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0073] Therefore, during the rotation of the rotating disk 200, the first pointer 210 and the second pointer 220 rotate at different angles, so that the timer 10 forms a visual effect of different planets orbiting around a star with different rotation speeds, which is more sporty and beautiful.

[0074] Combined with reference Figure 7 and Figure 8In this embodiment, the timer 10 also includes a time structure 300, which includes a rotating shaft 310, a gear assembly 320, a dial 330 and an indicator disk 340. The rotating shaft 310 is connected to the gear assembly 320, and the gear assembly 320 is connected to the dial 330 and the indicator disk 340. The dial 330 and the indicator disk 340 are both rotatably connected to the rotating disk 200, and the rotating shaft of the dial 330 is colinear with the rotating shaft of the indicator disk 340. The dial 330 is provided with scales or other marks for indicating the time position, and the indicator disk 340 is provided with an elliptical mark or a mark of other shapes for pointing to the dial 330.

[0075] When the rotating shaft 310 rotates, the rotating disk 200 rotates and the rotating shaft 310 drives the gear assembly 320 to rotate, and the gear assembly 320 drives the dial 330 and the indicating plate 340 to rotate. The angular velocity of the dial 330 and the angular velocity of the indicating plate 340 are not equal to achieve the effect of indicating the time position.

[0076] Taking the 12-hour system as an example, the dial 330 is provided with 12 scales representing 12 hours, and the interval between two scales is 30 degrees. In one hour, the angle of rotation of the dial 330 is V 1 , the angle of rotation of the indicator plate 340 is V 2 , V 2 -V 1 = 30 degrees, or V 1 -V 2 =30 degrees. In addition, the 0th hour, the 12th hour, etc. on the dial 330 are set as scales of different shapes to facilitate the user to determine the specific time position.

[0077] It is understood that in other embodiments, the dial 330 can also be provided with 24 scales to realize the time display of the 24-hour system. In addition, the dial 330 can also be provided with text or logos for indicating solar terms, months, quarters, years, etc., which is still within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0078] refer to Figure 8The gear assembly 320 includes a central hour wheel 321, a first planetary gear 322, a second planetary gear 323 and a transmission gear set 324 which are connected in sequence. The central hour wheel 321 is connected to the rotating shaft 310, the second planetary gear 323 is connected to the indicating plate 340, the second planetary gear 323 drives the dial 330 to rotate synchronously, and the transmission gear set 324 is connected to the indicating plate 340. Specifically, the central hour wheel 321 drives the second planetary gear 323 to rotate through the first planetary gear 322, the second planetary gear 323 drives the dial 330 to rotate synchronously, and at the same time, the second planetary gear 323 drives the indicating plate 340 to rotate through the transmission gear set 324; in this way, the angular velocity of the dial 330 is changed through the transmission gear set 324, so as to achieve the effect that the indicating plate 340 and the dial 330 rotate simultaneously and can indicate time.

[0079] The transmission gear set 324 includes a transmission gear 3241 and a driving gear 3242 that mesh with each other. The driving gear 3242 is connected to the indicator disk 340 and can drive the indicator disk 340 to rotate synchronously. The axis of the driving gear 3242 is colinear with the axis of the second planetary gear 323, so that the rotation axes of the dial 330 and the indicator disk 340 are colinear, and the rotating shaft of the transmission gear 3241 and the rotating shaft of the driving gear 3242 are arranged at intervals.

[0080] Specifically, the transmission gear 3241 has a coaxial first tooth portion 3241a and a second tooth portion 3241b, the first tooth portion 3241a meshes with the second planetary gear 323, the second tooth portion 3241b meshes with the driving gear 3242, and the second planetary gear 323 drives the transmission gear 3241 to rotate, and drives the driving gear 3242 to rotate, so that the indicating disk 340 rotates. In this way, the rotation speed difference between the dial 330 and the indicating disk 340 is achieved by setting the gear ratio of the second planetary gear 323, the first tooth portion 3241a, the second tooth portion 3241b and the driving gear 3242, so as to achieve the effect of indicating time. The number of teeth of the second planetary gear 323, the first tooth portion 3241a, the second tooth portion 3241b and the driving gear 3242 can be adjusted as needed. As long as the technical solution that can achieve the rotation speed difference between the dial 330 and the indicating disk 340 should be within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0081] In one embodiment, the timer 10 further includes a driving component, which is a mechanical movement or an electronic movement. The mechanical movement is generally driven by a spring or a heavy hammer. Figure 6 The illustrated wheel 400 drives the rotating shaft 310 or the central hour wheel 321 to rotate. The electronic movement generally obtains electrical energy through an internal power source such as a button battery or an external power source and converts it into mechanical energy to drive the timer 10.

[0082] Continue to refer Figure 7The indication area 110 only occupies a part of the area on the dial 100 , and the pointer revolves around the axis of the rotating disk 200 and rotates around its axis. The space required for the pointer to rotate is small, so that there is more remaining space on the rotating disk 200 .

[0083] Based on this, in the present embodiment, the rotating disk 200 is provided with a decorative piece 500, the number of the decorative piece 500 is multiple, and some decorative pieces 500 are connected to the rotating disk 200 through gear rotation. The decorative piece 500 revolves under the drive of the rotating shaft 310 and the decorative piece 500 rotates around its axis, so that the decorative piece 500 and the rotating disk 200, the pointer, etc. form a visual effect similar to the movement of the galaxy. Another part of the decorative piece 500 is fixed on the rotating disk 200 and rotates synchronously with the rotation of the rotating disk 200. The decorative piece 500 can be set to increase the visual effect of the shape of a planet (such as Mars) and a rough planetary surface, and can also be set to a LOGO, a pattern, etc.

[0084] In summary, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first pointer 210 and the second pointer 220 point alternately in the indication area 110 and the non-indication area 120 to achieve a better visual effect and be more attractive to consumers.

[0085] Before the pointer enters the indication area 110, the convex stud 130 drives the pointer to rotate so that the indication end of the pointer points to the indication area 110. When the pointer leaves the indication area 110, the convex stud 130 drives the pointer to rotate so that the other end of the pointer points to the non-indication area 120. The user can directly recognize the time indicated by the pointer, and the rotating pointer has a more sports aesthetic, which together with the rotating disk 200 forms a visual effect similar to the movement of galaxies.

[0086] In addition, the indication area 110 only occupies a part of the space, and the space required for the pointer to rotate is small. The remaining space of the rotating disk 200 can be used to set various decorative parts 500 to enhance the visual effect.

[0087] Although the present invention has been described with reference to several typical embodiments, it should be understood that the terms used are illustrative and exemplary, rather than restrictive. Since the present invention can be embodied in a variety of forms without departing from the spirit or essence of the invention, it should be understood that the above embodiments are not limited to any of the foregoing details, but should be interpreted broadly within the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims, so all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the claims or their equivalents should be covered by the appended claims.
