[0002] A timer is a device that measures time using a specific principle. Existing timing devices use mechanical dials, buttons, or touch screens as means to control timing.

[0003] With the progress of technology, a flip timer (CN220399812U - polygon flip timer) has emerged on the market. By simply flipping the flip timer, the corresponding timing can be achieved. When this flip timer is flipped to different faces, it corresponds to different normal timing times. For example, a quadrilateral timer can correspond to 1 min, 3 min, 15 min, and 30 min. When it is flipped to different faces, it can respectively time for 1 min, 3 min, 15 min, and 30 min.

The flip timer rotates with its axis as the rotation axis. The angle sensor is used to detect the flip state of the flip timer, and the controller is used to determine the side that is the most upward among the plurality of sides according to the flip state of the flip timer, and determine the timing time corresponding to the most upward side. The angle between the most upward side and the vertical direction is the largest;

[0009] The circular light bar is a polygon corresponding to the cross-section of the flip timer, and the circular light bar includes a plurality of light bars corresponding to the plurality of sides of the flip timer one by one;

[0010] The controller is further configured to control the lighting of the light bar corresponding to the uppermost side face, and simultaneously control the other light bars not to light up.

[0011] In one embodiment, the annular light bar is disposed in the peripheral area of one end face of the flip timer.

[0012] In one embodiment, the controller is electrically connected to a plurality of the light bars respectively.
