[0041] Example

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a clock, including a shell 10, a pointer module 20, a clock module 30 or a circuit board 40, and a truncated cone display panel 101 is arranged in the middle of one end surface of the shell 10; the pointer module 20 includes a rotating ring 201 mounted on the display panel 101, an hour hand laser light 202 arranged on the rotating ring 201, and a driving unit 203 for driving the rotating ring 201 to rotate, and the driving unit 203 is arranged on the shell 10; the clock module 30 is embedded in the display panel 101; the clock module 30 and the driving unit 203 are electrically connected in parallel and arranged on the circuit board 40, and the circuit board 40 is arranged on the other end surface of the shell 10.

[0043] In this embodiment, a display panel 101 is designed on the housing 10 for placing the clock module 30, so that the corresponding time is displayed by the clock module 30, and the electronic clock can accurately display the time. At the same time, the hour hand laser light 202 of the pointer module 20 is displayed, that is, the driving unit 203 drives the rotating ring 201 to rotate, so that the hour hand laser light 202 indicates the time like a mechanical pointer, thus forming the effect of displaying time in two ways. In addition, the indication method of the light can reflect a certain light and shadow effect, which can improve the aesthetic feeling of the appearance. The hour hand laser light 202 is for emitting a bar-shaped laser light, which can be displayed on the end face of the housing 10, and when the rotating ring 201 rotates, it rotates, thus forming an indicating hour hand.

[0044] Specifically, the clock module 30 may be an electronic clock, and then a through hole is set on the display panel 101 for placing the electronic clock. For example, if the electronic clock is rectangular, a rectangular through hole is opened on the display panel 101 to achieve the purpose of embedded installation, and the electronic clock can be fixed on the display panel 101 by gluing, screw locking or hook locking. The driving unit 203 may be a stepping motor, and then drives the rotating ring 201 to rotate to achieve the indication effect of the mechanical pointer.

[0045] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the display panel 101 includes a cylindrical portion 1011 and a table portion 1012 disposed on the top surface of the cylindrical portion 1011, and the diameter of the table portion 1012 is greater than the diameter of the cylindrical portion 1011. In this way, the table portion 1012 can shield the cylindrical portion 1011, so that the pointer module 20 is hidden in the table portion 1012, thereby making the surface of the clock simple.

[0046] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, an annular groove 1013 is provided on the cylindrical portion 1011 for the rotating ring 201 to rotate. The design of the annular groove 1013 limits the rotating ring 201, prevents the rotating ring 201 from deviating or separating from the motor when rotating, and improves the smoothness and stability of the structure operation.

[0047] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the rotating ring 201 is provided with an inner gear ring 2011, and the output shaft of the driving unit 203 is provided with a gear meshing with the inner gear ring 2011. Through the cooperation of the inner gear ring 2011 and the gear, by improving the cooperation accuracy, accurate transmission can be performed to achieve the effect of mechanical pointer indication.

[0048] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, an ambient light strip 102 is disposed on the cylindrical portion 1011, and the ambient light strip 102 is electrically connected to the circuit board 40; the color light brightness of the hour hand laser light 202 is greater than the color light brightness of the ambient light strip 102. The design of the ambient light strip 102 can provide different usage modes, lighting effects, and improve the aesthetics of the appearance.

[0049] Furthermore, the color of the atmosphere light strip 102 is different from the color of the hour hand laser light 202. For example, the hour hand laser light 202 can be red, while the light strip can be purple or blue, etc., and the brightness of the hour hand laser light 202 is relatively high, so it can be clearly displayed under the illumination of the atmosphere light strip 102, so as to identify the light bar of the hour hand laser light 202, thereby improving the practicality of use.

[0050] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, more than four light-emitting modules are evenly spaced on the atmosphere light strip 102, for example, 6 light-emitting modules, and a control chip is arranged on the circuit board 40, and the model of the control chip is SC92F7423X28U; the light-emitting module includes a MOS tube, a light-emitting diode whose cathode is electrically connected to the D level of the MOS tube, a positive electrode of the light-emitting diode is electrically connected to the resistor R1, a resistor R2 electrically connected to the G level of the MOS tube, and a resistor R3 electrically connected between the G level and the S level of the MOS tube, the S level of the MOS tube is grounded, the resistor R2 is electrically connected to the I018 pin of the control chip, and the resistor R1 is electrically connected to the VDD pin of the control chip.

[0051] Specifically, MOS is the abbreviation of MOSFET. MOSFET Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor, also known as Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET). It is generally a metal (metal) oxide (oxide) semiconductor (semiconductor) field effect transistor, or a metal-insulator (insulator) semiconductor. G: gate; S: source; D: drain. The source and drain of the MOS tube can be swapped. They are both N-type regions formed in the P-type backoate. In most cases, these two regions are the same. Even if the two ends are swapped, it will not affect the performance of the device. Such a device is considered to be symmetrical.

[0052] Similarly, the six light-emitting modules are electrically connected to the pins of the control chip respectively, for example, the six pins I018 to I023 of the control chip are connected to form corresponding control. In this way, when the hour hand laser light 202 points to the corresponding position, the light intensity of the atmosphere light strip 102 can be reduced accordingly, thereby ensuring the clear display of the hour hand laser light 202 and improving practicality.

[0053] Furthermore, the circuit of the hour hand laser light 202 may be configured in the same manner as the circuit of the light emitting module.

[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a groove 103 is provided on the end surface of the housing 10, and the display panel 101 is provided in the middle of the groove 103. The design of the groove 103 can form an obvious convex structure at the edge of the housing 10, and the outer contour can be designed as required, such as a round, square or other special-shaped structures. In addition, the groove 103 can block the light well, so that the light of the hour hand laser light 202 and the atmosphere light strip 102 is displayed in the groove 103, ensuring the lighting effect.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a transparent cover 104 is provided on the end surface of the display panel 101. The transparent cover 104 may be a glass cover, a transparent plastic cover or an acrylic plate. The plastic cover may be polypropylene plastic or polyethylene plastic, etc., to protect the display surface of the clock module 30 and avoid dirt, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the clock.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a hook 105 or a hanging groove is provided on the other end surface of the housing 10 so as to hang the clock, that is, to provide a hanging placement method with good practicality.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of locking holes 106 arranged at intervals are provided on the other end surface of the shell 10. The locking holes 106 can be threaded holes, and the clock can be locked and fixed by bolts or screws to ensure the stability of the installation.

[0058] The above is only a preferred specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
