[0032] The following is a detailed description with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0033] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The electronic alarm clock provided in the embodiment of the present application includes an alarm clock body 10, an ink screen 20 and a control component. The alarm clock body 10 is used to display time information. The alarm clock body 10 can issue a reminder according to the preset time information. The ink screen 20 is spliced ​​with the alarm clock body 10. The ink screen 20 is used to display preset image information when the alarm clock body 10 issues a reminder. The control component is electrically connected to the alarm clock body 10 and the ink screen 20.

[0034] It should be noted that the alarm clock body 10 and the ink screen 20 are two physical structures that are independent of each other in space, and the alarm clock body 10 and the ink screen 20 are spliced ​​with each other.

[0035] The time information may include at least one of hour information, minute information, and second information.

[0036] The alarm clock body 10 can remind the user by vibration, ringing, or vibration and ringing.

[0037] The ink screen 20 generally includes a thin film electronic ink layer, which is composed of a large number of microcapsules, and the microcapsules contain pigment particles with different charges. In the initial state, the pigment particles are suspended in the microcapsules. When an electric field in a certain direction is applied, the pigment particles with corresponding charges are driven to the top of the microcapsules, and the pigment particles located on the top of the microcapsules make the microcapsules display corresponding colors. In this way, a plurality of microcapsules of different colors are arranged to form image information on the electronic ink layer.

[0038] In a possible design, the control component may include an electrically connected timer, a controller, and a memory. During the operation of the control component, the controller is used to control the display and reminder functions of the alarm clock body 10, the timer is used to record the time information of the alarm clock body 10, and is also used to set the preset time of the alarm clock body 10, and the memory is used to store the time information of the alarm clock body 10.

[0039] When the electronic alarm clock is in use, the user can set a preset time through the control component. When the time information displayed on the alarm clock reaches the preset time set by the user, the control component will control the alarm clock body 10 to issue a reminder. At the same time, the control component is also electrically connected to the ink screen 20. When the alarm clock body 10 issues a reminder, the ink screen 20 can generate an electric field change under the control of the control component, thereby refreshing the image information on the ink screen 20.

[0040] For example, in some usage scenarios, the user sets a certain time as the birthday celebration time. When the set time on the birthday arrives, the alarm clock body 10 can send out reminders such as ringing or vibration under the action of the control component, and the ink screen 20 can display preset image information such as cakes that fit the birthday atmosphere, so that the user can intuitively obtain the to-do item of celebrating the birthday when watching the electronic alarm clock.

[0041] When using the electronic alarm clock provided by the embodiment of the present application, the user can set a timer on the alarm clock body 10 so that the alarm clock body 10 issues a reminder at a preset time. At this time, the control component can control the ink screen 20 to display preset image information, so that the user can obtain the to-do list by viewing the image information on the ink screen 20. At the same time, the ink screen 20 of the electronic alarm clock is spliced ​​with the alarm clock body 10, so that the user can simultaneously obtain the image information and time information through the ink screen 20 and the alarm clock body 10 when viewing the electronic alarm clock. Therefore, when the electronic alarm clock issues a reminder, the user can view the to-do list more intuitively, thereby improving the reminder effect of the electronic alarm clock on the user.

[0042] In addition, the ink screen 20 and the alarm clock body 10 are spliced ​​with each other. Compared with the connection method through hinges and other connecting parts, the electronic alarm clock of the present application has a more compact structure, occupies less space, and increases the spatial beauty of the electronic alarm clock.

[0043] In addition, the ink screen 20 consumes power by controlling the electric field change through the control component only when refreshing the displayed image information. The ink screen 20 does not need to consume power during the standby process of displaying image information, making the electronic alarm clock more energy-efficient and having a longer standby time.

[0044] In some embodiments, the surface of the alarm clock body 10 used to display time information and the surface of the ink screen 20 used to display image information are spliced ​​with each other, and the surface of the alarm clock body 10 used to display time information and the surface of the ink screen 20 used to display image information overlap with each other, thereby improving the flatness of the display surface of the electronic alarm clock.

[0045] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2The alarm clock body 10 includes a dial 11, a time display device 12 and a reminder device. The dial 11 and the ink screen 20 are spliced ​​with each other. The time display device 12 is arranged on the dial 11. The time display device 12 is electrically connected to the control component to display time information on the dial 11. The reminder device is electrically connected to the control component. The reminder device is used to issue a reminder according to the preset time information.

[0046] The dial 11 can be a plate-shaped, disc-shaped structure, etc.

[0047] In one possible design, the dial 11 and the ink screen 20 can be spliced ​​together by bonding; or, in another possible design, the electronic alarm clock is provided with an outer frame, and the dial 11 and the ink screen 20 are provided together in the outer frame, so that the dial 11 and the ink screen 20 are spliced ​​together through the outer frame. The splicing methods of the dial 11 and the ink screen 20 are not limited to the above two, and can also be other forms.

[0048] The time display device 12 refers to a device capable of displaying time. The time display device 12 can display time by means of a combination of numbers, indication by a pointer 121 , and the like.

[0049] In some possible designs, the reminder device may include a speaker, and the control component can control the speaker to play a preset ringtone so that the reminder device issues a sound reminder.

[0050] In some other possible designs, the reminder device may include a vibration motor. When the vibration motor is acted upon by the control component, the vibration motor can vibrate quickly, and finally drive the electronic alarm clock to vibrate, so as to provide a vibration reminder to the user. The reminder device may also be in other forms, which will not be described in detail here.

[0051] Thus, the time display device 12 cooperates with multiple components and has a clear division of labor, making the alarm clock body 10 work more stably and efficiently. In addition, when any component such as the dial 11 or the reminder device is damaged, the user can easily remove the damaged component for repair and replacement, thereby improving the repair convenience of the alarm clock body 10.

[0052] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The time display device 12 includes a movement and a pointer 121. The movement is electrically connected to the control assembly. The movement is connected to the pointer 121 and is used to drive the pointer 121 to rotate. The pointer 121 is rotatably arranged on the dial 11 to indicate time information on the dial 11.

[0053] The pointer 121 may include an hour hand, a minute hand or a second hand, which rotates driven by the movement to indicate hour information, minute information or second information respectively.

[0054] The movement refers to a component that can provide a rotational driving force. Specifically, the movement can electrically drive the pointer 121 through a battery or an external power supply, so that the pointer 121 rotates normally.

[0055] The time information can be displayed by controlling the movement to rotate the pointer 121, which simplifies the structure of the time display device 12, facilitates the repair of the time display device 12 when it fails, and reduces the processing cost and maintenance cost of the electronic alarm clock.

[0056] In some embodiments, the dial 11 may be provided with scale lines for the pointer 121 to point to display time information, and the dial 11 may also be provided with hour numbers for the pointer 121 to point to display hour information, so that the user can obtain time information more accurately and quickly when watching the electronic alarm clock.

[0057] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The time display device 12 includes a display device. The dial 11 is a light-transmitting structure. The display device is electrically connected to the control component and is used to emit light to display time information. The dial 11 is arranged on the light-emitting side of the display device.

[0058] The display device may be a light-emitting device such as a digital tube, an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode), etc. that can realize a display function.

[0059] The control function of the control component can conveniently and quickly adjust the light emission of the display device, which is convenient for the user to correct the time information displayed by the display device through the control component, thereby improving the adjustment convenience of the time display device 12. In addition, the dial 11 is arranged on the light-emitting side of the display device, so that the dial 11 can block the display device and has a certain protective effect on the display device, thereby improving the impact resistance of the display device.

[0060] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The display device includes a light source board and a plurality of lamp beads 122. The light source board is electrically connected to the control component. The plurality of lamp beads 122 are arranged on the light source board at intervals. The plurality of lamp beads 122 are used to cooperate in displaying time information.

[0061] The light source board can be an aluminum substrate.

[0062] The lamp bead 122 can be attached to the light source board by adhesive. The lamp bead 122 can be, but is not limited to, an LED lamp bead.

[0063] When the display device is working, the control component transmits a light signal to the light source board, so that the light source board can control the lamp beads 122 located thereon to emit light. The control component can control the lamp beads 122 at different positions on the light source board to emit light according to the change of time, so that multiple illuminated lamp beads 122 are arranged to form multiple numbers for displaying time information.

[0064] The method of using multiple lamp beads 122 to display time information consumes less power and prolongs the standby time of the display device. The multiple light-emitting lamp beads 122 cooperate to display time information so that users can obtain time information intuitively and accurately, and can also easily obtain time information in a dark environment, thereby improving the user's viewing experience.

[0065] In some embodiments, the electronic alarm clock further includes a voice broadcast device. The voice broadcast device is electrically connected to the control component. When the ink screen 20 displays the preset image information, the voice broadcast device broadcasts the preset voice information.

[0066] During the use of the electronic alarm clock, when the preset time is reached, the alarm clock body 10 issues a reminder, and the control component controls the ink screen 20 to refresh the image information displayed thereon, so that the ink screen 20 can display the image information preset by the user. When the control component receives the signal of refreshing the image information on the ink screen 20, the voice broadcast device can broadcast the preset voice information by voice under the control of the control component.

[0067] The preset voice message may be a reminder voice for to-do items or a festival blessing voice set by the user.

[0068] The voice broadcast device makes the function setting of the electronic alarm clock more user-friendly, improves the user experience, and shortens the time it takes for the user to browse the ink screen 20 to obtain the to-do list. At the same time, the voice broadcast device is convenient for people with poor eyesight to use, making the reminder method of the electronic alarm clock more diversified, thereby improving the reminder effect of the electronic alarm clock.

[0069] In some embodiments, the control component includes a controller, a memory, and an image processor. The controller is electrically connected to the alarm clock body 10 and the ink screen 20. The image processor is electrically connected to the controller, and the memory is electrically connected to the controller. The memory is used to store preset image information. The image processor is used to receive graphic information from the memory, and the image processor is also used to process the image information so that the image information is displayed on the ink screen 20.

[0070] When the electronic alarm clock is in use, the alarm clock body 10 can issue a reminder at a preset time under the control of the controller, and then the controller reads the memory and receives the image data from the memory, and the controller transmits the received image data to the image processor so that the image processor can process the image information. Finally, the controller drives the ink screen 20 to display the image information processed by the image processor.

[0071] In this way, the electronic alarm clock stores multiple types of image data by presetting the memory, enriching the display content of the electronic alarm clock. At the same time, the electronic alarm clock can conveniently store, modify and maintain image data, improving the editability of the electronic alarm clock.

[0072] In some embodiments, the electronic alarm clock further includes a wireless communication module, which is electrically connected to the control component. The control component communicates wirelessly with an external device via the wireless communication module.

[0073] The external device can be a mobile phone, tablet, remote control and other devices.

[0074] In actual use, the user can trigger the corresponding button or application on the external device to send a wireless signal to the wireless communication module of the electronic alarm clock. The control component receives the wireless signal through the wireless communication module and converts the wireless signal into an electrical signal to realize the timing control of the alarm clock body 10, set the image information on the ink screen 20 and other functions.

[0075] The setting of the wireless communication module enables the user to remotely control the electronic alarm clock. By controlling the external device, the user can realize the functions of timing the electronic alarm clock, editing the image information displayed on the ink screen 20, etc., which improves the convenience of using the electronic alarm clock. The wireless communication module transmits data quickly and reliably, making the data transmission efficiency between the electronic alarm clock and the external device high.

[0076] In some embodiments, the wireless communication module includes at least one of a Bluetooth module, a WiFi module, and an infrared module.

[0077] In this way, the user can remotely control the electronic alarm clock through at least one of the Bluetooth module, the infrared module and the WiFi module, thereby improving the convenience of use and the control efficiency of the electronic alarm clock.

[0078] In some embodiments, the electronic alarm clock further includes a power supply component. The power supply component is electrically connected to the control component. The power supply component is used to supply power to the ink screen 20 and also to supply power to the alarm clock body 10.

[0079] Among them, the power supply component can be a battery, a solar chip, etc.

[0080] The power supply component can provide stable and reliable power transmission to the ink screen 20 and the alarm clock body 10 respectively, so that the ink screen 20 can stably refresh the image information, and it is also beneficial for the alarm clock body 10 to stably display the time and issue reminders at the preset time.

[0081] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
