BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0012] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of the prior art.
[0013] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0014] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0015] from Figure 2 It can be seen that the embodiment of the utility model includes MCU1, a first quartz crystal 2, a drive motor 3, and a pointer display mechanism 4, wherein the first quartz crystal 2 is electrically connected to the MCU1, the drive motor 3 is connected to the MCU1, and the drive motor 3 is connected to the pointer display mechanism 4; it also includes a Bluetooth clock calibration module 7, and the Bluetooth clock calibration module 7 internally contains a Bluetooth host time data storage unit 7-9; it also includes a Bluetooth antenna 6, and the Bluetooth clock calibration module has an antenna pin 7-4, and the Bluetooth antenna 6 is connected to the antenna pin 7-4; the Bluetooth clock calibration module 7 has a data output pin 7-8, and the Bluetooth clock calibration module 7 is electrically connected to the MCU1 through the data output pin 7-8; it also includes a second quartz crystal 5, and the Bluetooth clock calibration module 7 has two crystal pins 7-5 and 7-6, and the second quartz crystal 5 is electrically connected to the crystal pins 7-5 and 7-6.
[0016] The Bluetooth clock calibration module 7 further includes a clock pulse output pin 7 - 7 electrically connected to the MCU1 .
[0017] The Bluetooth clock calibration module 7 also has a positive power pin 7-1 and a ground pin 7-3. The antenna pin 7-4, the positive power pin 7-1 and the ground pin 7-3 are located at the upper end of the Bluetooth clock calibration module 7, and the crystal pins 7-5 and 7-6 are located at the lower end of the Bluetooth clock calibration module 7.
[0018] The Bluetooth clock calibration module 7 also has a wake-up pin 7 - 2 . It can be seen that the Bluetooth clock calibration module 7 is an integrated circuit with eight pins.
[0019] The positive power pin 7-1 and the ground pin 7-3 are connected to the power supply to ensure that the Bluetooth clock calibration module 7 is in working state; the wake-up pin 7-2 is connected to a high voltage to allow the Bluetooth clock calibration module 7 to be in normal transceiver mode, and the wake-up pin 7-2 is connected to a low voltage to put the module in low power consumption mode. Smart phones or IPADs can be used as Bluetooth hosts, and the Bluetooth clock calibration module 7 sends and receives data with the host through the Bluetooth antenna 6; after the Bluetooth host scans the device of the embodiment of the utility model, it is necessary to establish Bluetooth pairing for the first time (no need to pair again when connecting again afterwards), and after the Bluetooth connection is established, the Bluetooth clock calibration module 7 immediately obtains time data from the host and stores it in the Bluetooth host time data storage unit 7-9, and sends the time data to the MCU1 through the data output pin 7-8. After receiving the time data, the MCU1 outputs a driving pulse to the driving motor 3, driving the driving motor 3 to rotate, so that the driving motor 3 drives the pointer display mechanism 4 connected thereto to operate, thereby displaying the same time as the Bluetooth host, achieving the purpose of time synchronization with the smart phone or IPAD. The entire process from Bluetooth pairing and connection establishment to time synchronization between the embodiment of the present invention and the Bluetooth host does not require the use of APP, mini-programs, etc.
[0020] Because the Bluetooth circuit consumes more power, after the synchronization is completed, the Bluetooth circuit can enter a low-power sleep state, and the MCU1 relies on the first quartz crystal 2 to ensure the accuracy of the clock. Usually, after 24 hours, the Bluetooth module is started again to synchronize with the smartphone or IPAD time again. The second quartz crystal 5 is used to ensure the operating accuracy of the Bluetooth clock calibration module 7. In the process of the Bluetooth clock calibration module 7 sending time data to the MCU1 through the data output pin 7-8, the Bluetooth clock calibration module 7 sends a clock pulse to the MCU1 through the clock pulse output pin 7-7, so that the MCU1 can identify the corresponding positions of different time data sent by the Bluetooth clock calibration module 7; the clock pulse can also be used as the MCU1 to determine the start and end of the time data sent by the Bluetooth clock calibration module 7, thereby ensuring the reliability of sending and receiving data.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are: two chips are used, the circuit structure is optimized, and the production cost is reduced; in addition, the Bluetooth clock calibration module adopted by the utility model can receive and store the time data of the Bluetooth host when connected to the Bluetooth host through optimizing the design of relevant programs, and there is no need to use an additional APP to make the host send time data, thereby simplifying the difficulty of use.
