[0021] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0022] A clock for night display provided by the present utility model replaces the fluorescent light-emitting method with the method of lighting up the lamp beads, with higher brightness and being conducive to viewing at night.

[0024] Further, a photosensitive sensor is provided on the dial, and the photosensitive sensor is electrically connected to the controller.
[0025] As can be seen from the above description, the light intensity of the current environment is collected by the photosensitive sensor, and whether to enter the night mode is judged by the light intensity. If entering the night mode, the lamp bead lighting mode is turned on, otherwise, it is not turned on, achieving the effect of power saving.
[0026] Further, a networking module is further included, and the controller is electrically connected to the networking module.
[0027] As can be seen from the above description, through the networking module, the clock can be connected to the network, and time data is obtained from the Internet to judge whether to enter the night, which is also used as a condition for triggering the lamp bead lighting mode.
[0028] Furthermore, among all the lamp beads, the lamp beads corresponding to the whole-hour scales are larger than those corresponding to the remaining scales.
[0029] As can be seen from the above description, through the above design, the lamp beads at the whole-hour positions are larger, making it easier to distinguish between the whole-hour positions and the non-whole-hour positions.
[0030] Furthermore, the back cover of the clock also has a built-in dimming module, and the controller is electrically connected to all the lamp beads through the dimming module.
[0031] As can be seen from the above description, through the above design, the dimming module can adjust the color and brightness of the lamp beads to represent the information of hours and minutes.
[0032] Furthermore, there are protrusions in the limiting grooves, and the lamp strip is provided with grooves adapted to the protrusions.
[0033] As can be seen from the above description, through the mutual cooperation of the protrusions and the grooves, it plays an anti-misoperation role.
[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Embodiment 1 of the present utility model is as follows:
[0035] A clock for night display provided by the present utility model, the clock has a minute hand 1, an hour hand 2 and a dial 3, the shape of the dial 3 is circular, the dial 3 has a plurality of time scales 31 representing time indicated by the hour hand and the minute hand, the clock further includes a back cover 4 of the clock and a lamp strip 5, and the shape of the lamp strip 5 is circular. Light-emitting holes 32 are provided on the dial 3 along the periphery of the plurality of time scales and are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, and the plurality of time scales and the light-emitting holes are sequentially arranged along the circumferential direction of the circle. Lamp beads 51 corresponding to the light-emitting holes are provided on the lamp strip 5. The back cover 4 of the clock and the dial 3 are covered with each other, and a limiting groove 41 is provided on the side of the back cover 4 of the clock facing the dial. The lamp strip 5 is placed in the limiting groove 41. The back cover 4 of the clock has a built-in movement 42 for driving the minute hand and the hour hand and a controller (not shown in the figure). The time signal output end of the movement is electrically connected to the controller, and the controller is electrically connected to all the lamp beads respectively. The lamp beads can be relatively energy-saving LED lamp beads.
[0036] Among all the lamp beads, the lamp beads corresponding to the whole-hour scales are larger than those corresponding to the remaining scales. Through the above design, the lamp beads at the whole-hour positions are larger, making it easier to distinguish between the whole-hour positions and the non-whole-hour positions.
[0037] The back cover of the clock also has a built-in dimming module, and the controller is electrically connected to all the lamp beads through the dimming module. Through the above design, the dimming module can adjust the color and brightness of the lamp beads to represent the information of hours and minutes.
[0038] In this embodiment, the current time is characterized by the lighting position of the lamp beads, and the hours and minutes are characterized by different lighting colors of the lamp beads. For example, red represents hours and yellow represents minutes.
[0039] For example, hours are represented by continuously lit lamp beads, and minutes are represented by single points. That is, at 02:20 in the early morning, the lamp beads corresponding to the scales from the zero scale to the 2 o'clock scale are all lit red, and the lamp bead at the 20-minute scale position is lit yellow. If there is an overlap between hours and minutes, such as 02:05 in the early morning, the lamp bead at the 05-minute scale position is lit yellow, and the lamp beads corresponding to the scales from the zero scale to the 2 o'clock scale are all lit red except for the 05-minute position, or only the whole-hour lamp beads are lit for hours, that is, the three lamp beads 0, 1, and 2.
[0040] The time signal output end of the movement outputs the time signal to the controller. After analysis, the controller sends a control signal to the lamp beads to achieve the dynamic display of the lamp beads. There is a mapping table stored in the controller, and the corresponding relationship between the time signal and the lamp bead control is stored in the mapping table, which is used as the control logic of the lamp beads.
[0041] A photosensitive sensor is provided on the dial, and the photosensitive sensor is electrically connected to the controller. The light brightness of the current environment is collected through the photosensitive sensor, and whether to enter the night mode is judged by the light brightness. If the night mode is entered, the lamp bead lighting mode is turned on, otherwise, it is not turned on, achieving the effect of power saving.
[0042] The back cover of the clock further includes a networking module, and the controller is electrically connected to the networking module. Through the networking module, the clock can be connected to the network, and time data is obtained from the Internet to judge whether it enters the night, which is also used as a condition for triggering the lamp bead lighting mode. The above two methods can be used alone or both at the same time, in an "or" relationship, that is, meeting one of them can turn on this night mode.
[0043] A protrusion is provided in the limiting groove, and a groove adapted to the protrusion is provided on the lamp strip. Through the mutual cooperation of the protrusion and the groove, an anti-misoperation function is achieved.
[0044] In terms of power supply, this product is powered by a power cord or a rechargeable battery.
[0045] In summary, a clock for night display provided by the present utility model replaces the fluorescent emission method with the method of lighting up light beads, which has higher brightness and is conducive to viewing at night. Specifically, light-emitting holes are provided on the dial along the periphery of multiple time scales and are arranged in one-to-one correspondence. The lamp strip is provided with light beads arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the light-emitting holes. The clock back cover and the dial are covered with each other, and a limiting groove is provided on the side surface of the clock back cover facing the dial. The lamp strip is placed in the limiting groove. The clock back cover is internally provided with a movement and a controller for driving the minute hand and the hour hand. The time signal output end of the movement is electrically connected to the controller, and the controller is electrically connected to all the light beads respectively. The controller obtains time information, and thus controls different lighting states or different lighting colors of the light beads as a representation of time information. The user can know the current time only according to the lighting rules of the light beads, thereby realizing the function of night display.
