Globe

Abstract

The invention discloses a globe. The globe comprises a map. According to the invention, the opposite-phase layout that the east meridian, the west meridian, the east time zone and the west time zone in the existing map are half from the 0-degree meridian as the center to the two sides is all changed into the 0-360-degree integral homodromous layout, namely, the opposite-direction layout of the east meridian 0-180 degrees and the west meridian 0-180 degrees is changed into the 0-360-degree homodromous layout; and changing the reverse layout of the east 1-12 time zones and the west 1-12 time zones into the same-direction layout of the 0-23 time zones. Therefore, the actual situation of earth rotation is better met, and the natural law of earth rotation is better met. And the expression of the geographic position is simpler, clearer and easier to determine.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of map technology, and in particular to a globe. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, a globe, including a map, is provided with longitude and latitude lines. Although the geographical location of a country or a region can be observed, the longitude lines on the globe, including the map, are divided into east longitude and west longitude, that is, the longitude lines are divided into 0°-180° east longitude and 0°-180° west longitude, and the time zones are divided into 12 time zones in the east and 12 time zones in the west. Such arrangement and numbering are obviously symmetrically distributed on both sides with the 0° longitude as the center. The characteristic of this layout is that it focuses on describing the movement mode of the earth's swing. Since the earth rotates in a fixed direction rather than a swing, this layout does not conform to the movement law of the earth's rotation, and is not convenient for users to understand. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the defects in the prior art, the present invention provides a globe, including a map, whose meridians and time zones are arranged and numbered in a certain longitude sequence along the equator, that is, 0°-180° east longitude

[0004] The reverse layout of 0°-180° west longitude, half each, was changed to an overall same-direction layout of 0°-360°, and the reverse layout of 1-12 time zones east and 1-12 time zones west, half each, was changed to an overall same-direction layout of 0-23 time zones.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0006] A globe comprises a map, on which meridians and time zones are arranged, and the meridians and time zones are evenly distributed along the equator at certain longitude intervals to form a meridian and time zone layout of 0°-360°.

[0007] Preferably, the meridians and time zones are evenly distributed along the equator in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

[0008] Preferably, the longitude difference between adjacent meridians is 5°, 7.5° or 15°, and each time zone line, that is, the meridian at the center of the time zone coincides with the meridian whose corresponding longitude is an integer multiple of 15°.

[0009] Preferably, there are 24 time zone lines, there are 24 time zones, and the time zone numbering sequence is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the existing reverse layout of 0°-180° east longitude and 0°-180° west longitude, each half, is changed to an overall unidirectional layout of 0°-360°, and the east longitude and west longitude are no longer distinguished; the reverse layout of 12 time zones in the east and 12 time zones in the west, each half, is changed to an overall unidirectional layout of 0-23 time zones, and the east time zone and the west time zone are no longer distinguished. Compared with the traditional positioning method of east and west longitude and 12 time zones in the east and west, each half is arranged in reverse, it is more in line with the actual situation of the earth's rotation and the natural law of the earth's rotation. And the expression of the geographical location is simpler, clearer, and easier to determine. People can more quickly determine the relative geographical location of the region based on the longitude number or time zone number of the region; it is more convenient to convert and calculate the zone time, greatly improving the convenience of users' understanding of the geographical location, and has high practical value.

[0015] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the technical terms or scientific terms used in this application should have the common meanings understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.

[0016] Preferably, the meridians and time zones are evenly distributed along the equator in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, and the two solutions have the same technical effect, which is specifically determined during implementation.
