[0035] Specifically, the fingerboard 2 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 via the rotating shaft 21 and the shaft hole 17; a bearing 4 is disposed between the rotating shaft 21 and the shaft hole 17. In this embodiment, preferably, the fingerboard 2 is integrally formed with the rotating shaft 21, and the shaft holes 17 are respectively disposed on the top surface 19 and the bottom surface 14 of the housing 1, and a fingerboard 2 is installed in each shaft hole 17, and a bearing 4 is installed between the rotating shaft 21 of the fingerboard 2 and the shaft hole 17, so as to reduce the friction between the fingerboard 2 and the housing 1 during the rotation of the fingerboard 2 relative to the housing 1 and increase the relative rotation time between the fingerboard 2 and the housing 1.
[0036] Furthermore, an escape groove 18 is provided on the outer side of the shaft hole 17, and the finger plate 2 is at least partially accommodated in the escape groove 18; after installation, the finger plate 2 can be accommodated in the escape groove 18, reducing the bad user experience caused by accidental touch.
[0037] A plurality of reinforcing columns 171 are provided around the circumference of the hole wall of the shaft hole 17 for cooperating with the rotating shaft 21 to clamp the bearing 4 so that the bearing 4 fits tightly in the shaft hole 17 to prevent the finger plate 2 or the bearing 4 from falling off from the shaft hole 17 .
[0038] The housing 1 is a solid body with a plurality of planes 15. In this embodiment, preferably, a plurality of planes 15 are provided on the side elevation between the top surface 19 and the bottom surface 14 of the housing 1, and numbers representing different countdown lengths are provided on the planes 15; these numbers are hollowed out or the hollowed-out part is covered with a light-transmitting panel, and an indicator light is provided inside the hollowed-out number to remind and facilitate observation of the currently set countdown length.
[0039] See also Figure 4-6 , the timer also includes a circuit system 3. It should be noted that the above description of the technical solution should not be understood as the timing module 34 not having a circuit system, but a timing circuit with only a timing function can be used as a further upgraded technical solution. In the solution described below, the circuit system 3 has richer functional modules, including the above-mentioned timing module 34 for timing.
[0040] The circuit system 3 includes a PCB board, a timing module 34 arranged on the PCB board; a power module 32, suitable for supplying power to the entire circuit system 3; a main control module 31, suitable for receiving and processing data, and issuing execution instructions; a status light 36, electrically connected to the main control module 31, for displaying the countdown progress; and a light guide 5, one end of which is connected to the status light 36, and a light-transmitting hole 112 is provided on the housing 1, and the other end of the light guide 5 is connected to the light-transmitting hole 112, for guiding the light emitted by the status light 36 to the outside of the housing 1, thereby increasing the visibility of the status light 36, so that it can be observed by the user within a larger angle range. In this embodiment, the light guide 5 is fixed by a mounting bracket, one end of which is fixed to the PCB board, and the light guide 5 is plugged into the mounting bracket.
[0041] Preferably, the status light 36 is a multi-color light, and different colors represent different timing status progress. For example, in the present embodiment, the status light is a red, yellow and green tricolor light, where green represents the start of timing, yellow represents that the timing is more than halfway through, and red represents the end of timing.
[0042] The housing 1 is a three-dimensional timing module 34 having a plurality of planes 15; the timing module 34 also includes a display panel 16, which is connected to the plane 15 of the housing 1 and is used to display countdown information.

When the plane 15 is facing upward, the reminder light will light up, so that the user can observe the total countdown length currently being performed. In other embodiments, the total countdown length represented by the plane 15 can be displayed by installing a screen on the plane 15.
[0043] The circuit system 3 also includes a sensing module 33, which is electrically connected to the main control module 31 and is used to sense the position information of the plane 15, such as sensing which plane 15 is facing upward, and sending the sensing data to the main control module 31.

[0044] Preferably, the sensing module 33 is used to sense the plane 15 with the duration number to be executed, with the plane 15 facing upward as the sensing target. Therefore, the sensing module 33 uses a three-axis acceleration sensor, and the main control module 31 uses I 2 C reads the data of the three-axis acceleration sensor, and converts it into X, Y, and Z three-axis data through the built-in algorithm, and then matches the time of the duration number on the corresponding plane 15, and sends an execution instruction to the timing module 34. In this embodiment, the three-axis acceleration sensor uses the SC7A20 chip, and its second pin SDx is connected to the fifth pin of the main control chip HC89F1603-TSSOP20, and the 12th pin SCx of the SC7A20 chip is connected to the sixth pin of the main control chip, so as to transmit data to the main control chip, and the 10th pin CS is connected to the level output by the power module to select the SC7A20 chip as I 2 C mode.

In other embodiments, the timing module 34 also includes a crystal oscillator module, which is electrically connected to the main control module 31 and is suitable for executing a countdown instruction. By setting an additional crystal oscillator circuit, the purpose of making the timing function more accurate is achieved.

The first assembly portion 111 is stuck on the inner wall of the middle shell 13, thereby playing the role of connecting the middle shell 13 with the top cover 11 and the bottom cover 12.
