DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0025] Example: Figure 1-4As shown, a kitchen clock with a timer comprises a base 1, on which a first mounting platform 2 and a second mounting platform 10 are mounted, the first mounting platform 2 and the second mounting platform 10 are used to mount a clock housing 3, the first mounting platform 2 and the clock housing 3 are connected by a first connecting shaft 11, and the second mounting platform 10 and the clock housing 3 are connected by a second connecting shaft 12, a display control panel 5 for displaying and adjusting a clock and a timer is arranged on the front side of the clock housing 3, and a flash 4 that flashes to remind a user when the timing ends, a buzzer 6 that sounds an alarm when the timing ends is installed on the right side of the second mounting platform 10, a first limit block 14 on the second connecting shaft 12 is used to limit the left and right movement of the clock housing 3, and a second limit block 14 on the second connecting shaft 12 is used to limit the left and right movement of the clock housing 3, and a second limit block 14 on the second connecting shaft 12 is used to limit the left and right movement of the clock housing 3. The mounting block 7 on the upper side of the mounting platform 10 installs the spring 18, the second limit block 17 and the cone block 16 therein. When the angle of the clock needs to be adjusted, the clock housing 3 only needs to be rotated according to the required angle. The rotation of the clock housing 3 will drive the second connecting shaft 12 to rotate, and then drive the gear 15 to rotate, so that the teeth of the gear 15 press the cone block 16 to rise, thereby compressing the second limit block 17 and the spring 18. The second limit block 17 is used to prevent the spring 18 from detaching from the mounting groove 9 of the mounting block 7. During the rotation of the gear 15, when the cone block 16 encounters the groove of the gear 15, the cone block 16 will jam the groove of the gear 15 under the elastic potential energy of the spring 18. When the required angle is adjusted, the clock housing 3 is released to achieve multi-angle adjustment.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the linear guide mechanism is installed at the upper right corner of the base 1, and the button 8 is located directly below the pressing block 19. Time scales are set on the left and right sides of the linear guide 13 for better observing the timing time. When counting down, the time to be counted is set through the display control panel 5, and the signal is transmitted to the servo motor 20 through the servo motor controller inside the clock housing 3. The servo motor controller is a device for controlling and driving the servo motor, receiving instructions from the control system and converting them into control signals such as current, speed and position to drive the servo motor to achieve precise position control. Since the length of the linear guide 13 is fixed, the speed of the servo motor 20 can be automatically adjusted by setting the length of the timing time, so that during each timing, the screw sleeve 22 can reach the maximum position from the top of the linear guide 13 at the beginning and end of the timing. The bottom end, thereby triggering the button 8 to sound an alarm at the end, at this time the servo motor 20 is started, and the driving shaft of the servo motor 20 drives the lead screw 21 connected to the driving shaft to rotate, and the rotation of the lead screw 21 drives the lead screw sleeve 22 threadedly connected to the outside of the lead screw 21 to move on the linear guide 13, and the pointer 23 and the pressing block 19 are both connected to the lead screw sleeve 22. At this time, the passage of time can be more intuitively observed through the scale on the linear guide 13 and the movement of the pointer 23, and when the timing is over, the lead screw sleeve 22 reaches the bottom of the linear guide 13, and the pressing block 19 will press the button 8 at this time, so that the flash 4 and the buzzer 6 electrically connected to the button 8 are both started, and the user is prompted to end the timing by light and sound. The servo motor 20 is a MaxonEC22 high-precision servo motor, which can provide precise position control and high dynamic response.
[0027] Working principle: when the angle of the clock needs to be adjusted, the clock housing 3 only needs to be rotated according to the required angle. The rotation of the clock housing 3 will drive the second connecting shaft 12 to rotate, and then drive the gear 15 to rotate, so that the teeth of the gear 15 press the cone block 16 to rise, thereby compressing the second limit block 17 and the spring 18. During the rotation of the gear 15, when the cone block 16 encounters the groove of the gear 15, the cone block 16 will be stuck in the groove of the gear 15 under the elastic potential energy of the spring 18. When the required angle is adjusted, the clock housing 3 is released to achieve multi-angle adjustment. When timing, the required timing time is set through the display control panel 5, and the signal is transmitted to the servo motor 20 through the servo motor controller inside the clock housing 3. Since the length of the linear guide 13 is fixed, the rotation of the servo motor 20 can be automatically adjusted by setting the length of the timing time. The speed is such that during each timing, the screw sleeve 22 can reach the bottom from the top of the linear guide 13 at the beginning and end of the timing, thereby triggering the button 8 to sound an alarm at the end. At this time, the servo motor 20 is started, and the driving shaft of the servo motor 20 will drive the screw 21 connected to the driving shaft to rotate. The rotation of the screw 21 drives the screw sleeve 22 threadedly connected to the outside of the screw 21 to move on the linear guide 13, and the pointer 23 and the pressing block 19 are both connected to the screw sleeve 22. At this time, the passage of time can be more intuitively observed through the scale on the linear guide 13 and the movement of the pointer 23, and when the timing is over, the screw sleeve 22 reaches the bottom of the linear guide 13, and the pressing block 19 will press the button 8, so that the flashlight 4 and the buzzer 6 electrically connected to the button 8 are both started, and the user is prompted to the end of the timing by light and sound.
