Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an indicator device for prompting the seasonal maturity period of vegetables and fruits every year, especially an indicator device which can intuitively remind people to eat seasonal fruits and vegetables in time, and can also be used as an identification device for seasonal fruits and vegetables and off-season fruits and vegetables. Background Art
[0002] At present, the known computers or mobile phones need to be turned on and a certain software is opened to expand the function to search and check the maturity period of fruits and vegetables. Since there are many software installed on the computer or mobile phone, the operation is cumbersome and it also brings difficulty to the elderly. They only occasionally remember to check the information on their mobile phones or computers, but they cannot be reminded intuitively at all times, and often miss the opportunity to eat seasonal fruits and vegetables. Summary of the invention
[0003] In order to quickly and easily see the maturity period of seasonal fruits and vegetables each year, the utility model provides an annual seasonal fruit and vegetable indicator device, which can intuitively and easily grasp the seasonal maturity period of various fruits and vegetables every day, and judge whether the maturity period of seasonal fruits and vegetables has arrived. The annual seasonal fruit and vegetable indicator device can be recycled every year and has a simple structure.
[0004] 1. The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problem is: on the indicator disk, the day number grids of a year are evenly arranged into a large circle, 12 month lines are added according to the leap year of the solar calendar, and the 24 solar terms and the length of the day and night are placed according to the date of the circular calendar to form a circular calendar. A rod-type pointer is set on the central axis of the circular calendar. The rotation of the rod-type pointer is controlled by the motor driving circuit controlled by the single-chip microcomputer, so that the motor is controlled to rotate, and then drives the reduction gear. The central axis on the reduction gear drives the rod-type pointer to rotate; in order to facilitate people to understand whether the maturity period of various seasonal fruits and vegetables in a year has arrived, and the device can be recycled every year, the present scheme is to arrange the days of the year on the indicator disk. There are 366 day grids, which are divided into 12 months according to the Gregorian calendar, forming a circular calendar. On the indicator disk, there are multiple vegetable and fruit maturity icons, each of which corresponds to a corresponding date on the circular calendar. The front and back endpoints of the vegetable and fruit maturity icons represent the beginning and end of the maturity period of each vegetable or fruit. On the indicator disk, the circular calendar with 366 day grids, the vegetable and fruit maturity icons, the four seasons temperature gradient color ring, and the rod-type pointer form an overall indication structure. With this combination, the rod-type pointer rotates one day grid a day and one circle a year in a clockwise direction to present the arrival and end of the maturity period of various fruits and vegetables and the flowering period of fruits and vegetables.
[0005] Since the Gregorian calendar has 365 days in an ordinary year and 366 days in a leap year, and there is a difference of one day between an ordinary year and a leap year, February in an ordinary year has 28 days, and February in a leap year has 29 days. This device uses the single-chip program to identify whether the perpetual calendar module is a leap year or an ordinary year. When the single-chip program identifies that it is a leap year with 366 days, the rod pointer moves one day number grid after midnight every day of the year. One circle is exactly 366 day number grids, and it rotates once a year. When the single-chip program identifies that it is an ordinary year with 365 days, the rod pointer moves one day number grid after midnight every day of the year. One circle is exactly 366 day number grids, and it rotates once a year. When the rod pointer moves from February 27 to February 28 in an ordinary year, because the single-chip microcomputer program recognizes that an ordinary year has only 28 days, the single-chip microcomputer program controls the circuit drive motor to drive the rod pointer to move directly and continuously for two day number line grids. After that, the indication of the rod pointer stops on the month line of March of that year, which solves the problem of one day difference between an ordinary year and a leap year, so that the annual seasonal fruit and vegetable indicating device can rotate a full circle in both leap years and ordinary years, so that the device can be recycled every year.
[0006] The four-season temperature gradient color ring is composed of a large circle of four gradient colors: red, brown, blue and green. It represents the gradual change of temperature of the 24 solar terms in the four seasons: red in summer, brown in autumn, blue in winter and green in spring. The large circle of the gradient color ring is placed on the upper layer of the day grid and the month grid. The 24 solar terms and the month characters are arranged on the top layer of the four-season temperature gradient color ring layer.
[0007] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that, without the need for an electronic display screen, the overall indicating structure of the graphic labels of each fruit and vegetable maturity period on the indicator disk, the four-season temperature gradient color ring and the rod-type pointer can be used to present the arrival and end of the maturity period and flowering period of each fruit and vegetable throughout the year. At the same time, the four-season temperature gradient color ring presents an intuitive indicating function of the gradual change process of the temperature of the twenty-four solar terms throughout the year through the rod-type pointer, and it can be recycled every year with a simple structure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0013] exist Figure 1 In the embodiment, 366 day number grids (1) are evenly arranged on the indicator plate (21) to form a large circle, and then the month lines (4) of 12 months are marked according to the number of days per month in the solar calendar.
[0014] The four-season temperature gradient color ring (8) displays the gradual change of temperature between the 24 solar terms in the four seasons through the rod-type pointer (2), with red in summer, brown in autumn, blue in winter and green in spring; these four gradient colors form a large circle of the color ring, with the central axis (19) as the center, and are distributed on the upper layer of the day number grid (1) and the month line (4) of the circular calendar.
[0015] At the center of the large circle of the day number grid (1), there is an elliptical ring (7) of the length of day and night, which is a combination of a perfect circle and an ellipse. The perfect circle represents that both the day and the night are a perfect circle of twelve hours. The two protruding ends of the ellipse, one end facing the winter solstice is the day when the night is longer, which is the day with the longest night in the year; the other end facing the summer solstice is the day when the day is longer, which is the day with the longest day in the year. Through the elliptical ring (7) of the length of day and night, we can understand the gradual change of the length of day and night in a year.
[0016] Between the oval ring (7) of the day and night length and the large circle of the day number grid (1), there are arranged the fruit and vegetable maturity period icons (3) according to the date; the front end (11) of the arc-shaped body of the fruit and vegetable maturity period icon (3) is an entry end icon indicating that the fruit and vegetable maturity period has begun; the rear end (12) of the arc-shaped body is an end end icon indicating that the fruit and vegetable maturity period has entered the end; between the front end (11) of the arc-shaped body of the fruit and vegetable maturity period icon (3) and the rear end (12) of the arc-shaped body, there are a fruit and vegetable name position area (10) and a fruit and vegetable picture position area (9).
[0017] The whole of the vegetable and fruit maturity period graphic label (3) presents a light-colored arc-shaped body (13) that is curved from thick to thin. The arc-shaped body (13) is light-colored to highlight the names of the vegetables and fruits and the pictures of the vegetables and fruits, so that the arc-shaped body (13) and the names of the vegetables and fruits in the vegetable and fruit name position area (10), as well as the pictures of the vegetables and fruits superimposed on the vegetable and fruit picture position area (9) are clearly layered and clearly defined to the naked eye. The arc-shaped body of this embodiment is light green, which symbolizes that leaves are green and is easily accepted by the naked eye. The light green circle in front of the maturity graphic mark (3) is the fruit and vegetable picture position area (9), which is used to display the fruit and vegetable object pictures. The fruit and vegetable object pictures are covered in the upper layer of the fruit and vegetable picture position area (9). Following the fruit and vegetable picture position area (9) is the fruit and vegetable name position area (10), which is used to display the names of the fruits and vegetables. This layout makes the fruit and vegetable maturity graphic mark (3) easy to identify with the naked eye. The number of fruit and vegetable maturity graphic marks (3) in the embodiment is schematically represented, and the actual number is much larger than that in the attached figure.
[0018] A rod-type pointer (2) is arranged at the central axis (19) of the large circle. The rod-type pointer (2) rotates one day number grid (1) every day and rotates once a year. The rotation process of the rod-type pointer (2) passes through each vegetable and fruit maturity period graphic mark (3). The rod-type pointer (2) presents the arrival and end of each vegetable and fruit maturity period graphic mark (3) in a year. At the same time, the rod-type pointer (2) indicates the four-season temperature gradient color ring (8), which makes it convenient for children to understand the whole process of gradual temperature changes in the twenty-four solar terms of a year.
[0019] The rod-type pointer (2) is adjusted to indicate the date by pressing a button (14); the distinction between the 365 days of an ordinary year and the 366 days of a leap year is made by reading the year in the data of the perpetual calendar module (17) through a program of a single-chip computer (18); when the leap year has 366 days, the single-chip computer (18) controls the motor driving circuit (20) to drive the motor (16), driving the reduction gear (15), so that the central shaft (19) drives the rod-type pointer (2) to rotate one day number grid (1) every day. The angle and number of revolutions of the motor (16) are transmitted to the program of the single-chip computer (18) by the Hall coding signal inside the motor (16) to identify the number of revolutions, and then the number of steps of the motor (16) is controlled to make the rod-type pointer (2) rotate one day number grid (1) in 24 hours, and rotate one revolution in 366 days in a leap year; when the single-chip computer (18) reads that the year of the perpetual calendar module (17) is a common year with 365 days, then when the rod-type pointer (2) reaches February 29 of that year, the program of the single-chip computer (18) will recognize that In an ordinary year, there is no February 29. The program of the single chip computer (18) enables the motor drive circuit (20) to drive the motor (16), drive the reduction gear (15), and then the central shaft (19) drives the rod pointer (2) to continuously rotate two day number grids (1) and stay on the month line (4) of March of that year. In this way, no matter it is a common year with 365 days or a leap year with 366 days, the rod pointer (2) can rotate exactly one circle according to the number of days in a year, so that the annual seasonal fruit and vegetable indicator device can be recycled every year.
[0020] The four-season temperature gradient color ring (8) is composed of four gradient colors of red, brown, blue and green to form a gradient color ring circle, which represents the gradual change process of the temperature of the twenty-four solar terms in the four seasons, red in summer, brown in autumn, blue in winter and green in spring; the large circle of the four-season temperature gradient color ring (8) is placed on the upper layer of the day number grid (1) and the month line (4), and the twenty-four solar terms (6) and the month characters (5) are arranged on the top layer of the four-season temperature gradient color ring (8).
[0021] Because the Lunar New Year falls around February of the Gregorian calendar, the circular calendar of the annual seasonal fruit and vegetable indicator of this embodiment has February facing upwards, starts from the top, and returns to zero in a clockwise direction, which is suitable for the traditional arrangement of the Chinese people.
