For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific situations.

[0049] As mentioned in the background art section, in the related art's time-reversing indicating clock, there are technical problems such as a complex indicating structure, low rotation efficiency, or the star wheel's flipping angle being prone to being too large or too small.

[0050] Based on this, the present application provides an indicating component 230, an indicating structure 20 with the indicating component 230, and a clock 1 with the indicating structure 20 to achieve a time-reversing display effect with a simpler structure, lower process production cost, and more stable time reading.

[0051] The clock 1 includes a clock main body 10, an indicating structure 20, and a driving structure. The indicating structure 20 is disposed within the clock main body 10, and at least a part of the indicating structure 20 is exposed outside the clock main body 10 to achieve the effect of indicating time. The driving structure is disposed within the clock main body 10 and is connected to the indicating structure 20, and the driving structure is used to drive the indicating structure 20.

[0052] It should be noted that the clock 1 in the present application should be understood in a broad sense. The clock 1 can be a separate timekeeping product, including but not limited to a wristwatch, a table clock, or a wall clock. The clock 1 can also be a timekeeping device with a timekeeping function on other devices, such as a timekeeping device with a timekeeping function on an automobile dashboard. As long as the timekeeping scheme using the timekeeping principle of the indicating structure 20 in the present application is within the protection scope of the present application.

[0053] In this embodiment, the clock main body 10 is the head of a wristwatch, and the head can be fixed on the wrist through accessories such as watchbands to achieve the functions of decoration and time reading. The clock main body 10 is provided with a display area 110 for displaying time. The display area 110 is provided with numbers for displaying the minute positions: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60. Division lines for dividing time are also provided between the numbers. Of course, the manufacturer can change the numbers or marks displayed on the display area 110 according to needs.

[0054] The driving component is a mechanical movement or an electronic movement. The mechanical movement generally drives the indicating structure 20 with a spring or a weight, and the electronic movement generally obtains electrical energy through an internal power source such as a button battery or an external power source and converts it into mechanical energy to drive the indicating structure 20.

[0055] Refer to Figures 2 to 5 , the indicating structure 20 includes a turning arm 210, a gear assembly 220, and an indicating component 230. The gear assembly 220 is disposed on the turning arm 210. The gear assembly 220 includes a central gear 221, an inner planetary gear 222, and an outer planetary gear 223 that are connected in sequence. The central gear 221 meshes with the turning arm 210 to drive the turning arm 210 to rotate synchronously. The indicating component 230 meshes with the outer planetary gear 223, and the outer planetary gear 223 drives the indicating component 230 to rotate synchronously.

[0056] That is, due to the presence of the gear assembly 220, when the central gear 221 drives the swing arm 210 to rotate about the axis of the central gear 221, the central gear 221 simultaneously drives the outer planet gear 223 to rotate through the inner planet gear 222. At this time, both the indicating assembly 230 and the outer planet gear 223 rotate synchronously about the axis of the outer planet gear 223.

[0057] Reference Figure 5 , in this embodiment, the number of teeth of the central gear 221 and the outer planet gear 223 is the same, and the radius of the central gear 221 is equal to the radius of the outer planet gear 223. Such a setting makes the central gear 221 and the outer planet gear 223 have the same angular velocity in the transmission of the gear assembly 220. That is to say, when the swing arm 210 rotates one week about the axis of the central gear 221, the indicating assembly 230 just rotates one week about the axis of the outer planet gear 223. The indicating assembly 230 can maintain a fixed orientation indication when the swing arm 210 rotates, so as to realize the function of reading time.

[0058] Specifically, the number of teeth of the central gear 221 and the outer planet gear 223 is both 50, the number of teeth of the inner planet gear 222 is 25, and the number of teeth of the central gear 221 and the outer planet gear 223 are both twice that of the inner planet gear 222. In this way, the gear assembly 220 can have good transmission efficiency, and the space occupied by the gear assembly 220 is small.

[0059] Combined with reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the indicating assembly 230 includes an indicating body 231, a turning shaft 232 and a star wheel 233. The indicating body 231 meshes with the outer planet gear 223 and rotates synchronously with the outer planet gear 223. The turning shaft 232 is arranged on the indicating body 231, and the axial direction of the turning shaft 232 forms an angle with the axial direction of the outer planet gear 223. The star wheel 233 is sleeved on the turning shaft 232. A positioning portion 2331 is arranged on the axial direction of the star wheel 233, and a plurality of indicating surfaces 2332 which form an angle are arranged on the side surface of the star wheel 233. A driving portion 211 adapted to the positioning shaft is arranged on the swing arm 210. Under the action of an external force, the positioning portion 2331 can be abutted by the driving portion 211 to make the star wheel 233 turn about the turning shaft 232. It should be noted that the axial direction of the star wheel 233 is collinear with the axial direction of the turning shaft 232, and the axial direction of the star wheel 233 does not change due to the shape or size of the star wheel 233.

[0060] In this embodiment, the axial direction of the flipping shaft 232 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the outer planet gear 223. In this way, the star wheel 233 can be stably flipped in the vertical direction. Of course, the manufacturer can also set the included angle between the axial direction of the flipping shaft 232 and the axial direction of the outer planet gear 223 to an acute angle according to needs, which will cause the indicating assembly 230 to occupy a larger space and require a greater driving force.

[0061] Specifically, the indicating structure 20 further includes a threaded connecting member 30 passing through the outer planet gear 223 and the indicating main body 231. One end of the threaded connecting member 30 exposed outside the indicating main body 231 abuts against the flipping shaft 232, so that the flipping shaft 232 will not slide out and fall off the indicating main body 231. In this way, there is no need to provide a threaded connection or other connection methods on the star wheel 233 and the flipping shaft 232, and the rigidity and stability of the star wheel 233 and the flipping shaft 232 are better. The threaded connecting member 30 can be a screw, a bolt, a rivet, etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0062] Numbers or marks are provided on the indicating surface 2332. For example, the indicating surface 2332 is provided with numbers for indicating the hour positions from 1 to 12 or from 1 to 24, or the indicating surface 2332 is provided with numbers for indicating the minute positions from 1 to 60, or the indicating surface 2332 is provided with words or marks for indicating solar terms, months, quarters, years, etc. In addition, the indicating surface 2332 can also be provided with various LOGOs, decorative patterns, etc. The present application does not make any limitation on the numbers or marks displayed on the indicating surface 2332, and the specific numbers or marks can be freely set by the manufacturer according to needs. In this embodiment, the user can read the hour position reading on the indicating surface 2332 and the minute position corresponding to the indicating structure 20 pointing to the display area 110 to achieve the effect of reading time.

[0063] In this embodiment, with reference to Figure 3 and Figure 6 , the driving part 211 includes a convex block 2111 protruding from the outer surface of the rotating arm 210, and the positioning part 2331 is a positioning post 2331a arranged in the axial direction of the star wheel 233. Exemplarily, the flipping process of the star wheel 233 is as follows: the driving structure is connected to the central gear 221. Under the drive of the driving structure, the central gear 221 rotates and drives the rotating arm 210 to rotate around the axis of the central gear 221. At the same time, the central gear 221 drives the inner planet gear 222 to rotate, the inner planet gear 222 drives the outer planet gear 223 to rotate, and the outer planet gear 223 drives the indicating main body 231 to rotate synchronously. When the indicating main body 231 rotates to a preset angle, the convex block 2111 on the rotating arm 210 abuts against the positioning post 2331a on the star wheel 233, and the convex block 2111 toggles the star wheel 233 to flip around the flipping shaft 232, and the indicating surface 2332 at the top of the star wheel 233 switches to the adjacent indicating surface 2332, so as to realize the indication of time change.

[0064] It can be understood that the preset angle at which the above-mentioned bump 2111 abuts against the positioning post 2111a is not limited to a specific angle. The preset angle is determined by the installation positions and initial positions of the bump 2111 and the positioning post 2331a. The manufacturer can freely set the preset angle at which the indicating body 231 rotates until the positioning post 2331a abuts against the bump 2111.

[0065] Specifically, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 6 , in this embodiment, the indicating structure 20 is used to indicate the hour digits. The number of star wheels 233 is three, and each star wheel 233 is correspondingly provided with four indicating surfaces 2332. Define the number of star wheels 233 as M, and each star wheel 233 is correspondingly provided with N indicating surfaces 2332. Then the product of M and N is 12, which exactly corresponds to the 12-hour timekeeping method. Taking the counterclockwise direction as an example, the four indicating surfaces 2332 of the first star wheel 233 are respectively set with the numbers: 1, 4, 7, 10; the four indicating surfaces 2332 of the second star wheel 233 are respectively set with the numbers: 2, 5, 8, 11; the four indicating surfaces 2332 of the third star wheel 233 are respectively set with the numbers: 3, 6, 9, 12. Of course, the values of M and N can be freely adjusted according to needs, as long as the product of M and N is 12. In addition, for the 24-hour timekeeping method, the product of M and N is 24.

[0066] Furthermore, each indicating surface 2332 is correspondingly provided with two positioning posts 2331a to improve the accuracy of the bump 2111 abutting against the positioning post 2331a. Of course, the number of positioning posts 2331a corresponding to the indicating surface 2332 can be adjusted to other numbers according to needs.

[0067] In this embodiment, the driving part 211 further includes a stepped structure 2112. The stepped structure 2112 and the bump 2111 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the outer planet gear 223, and both the stepped structure 2112 and the bump 2111 are located on the rotation trajectory of the positioning post 2331a, so that the positioning post 2331a can be abutted by the bump 2111 and / or the stepped structure 2112, and the star wheel 233 is flipped.

[0068] Specifically, in this embodiment, each bump 2111 is correspondingly provided with two stepped structures 2112, and the two stepped structures 2112 are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the bump 2111. Of course, the manufacturer can also only set one stepped structure 2112 or not set the stepped structure 2112 according to needs. In this case, the stability of the flipping of the star wheel 233 will be reduced, but the star wheel 233 still has the flipping function.

[0069] Exemplarily, in combination with reference to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , in order to better describe the process of the flipping of the star wheel 233, a brief principle description of the star wheel 233 is given in this application.Figure 6 The star wheel 233 is simplified as an orthographic projection view shown in area A, and the driving part 211 on the rotating arm 210 is simplified as a cross-sectional view of area B. The principle diagram of the driving part 211 turning the star wheel 233 is shown in FIG. Figure 7 It should be noted that the simplified schematic diagram in the present application is only for the convenience of explaining the movement principle of the indicating structure 20, and cannot be regarded as a limitation on the shape, position, etc. of the indicating structure 20. The following is an explanation of the movement process of the protrusion 2111 and the step structure 2112 against the positioning column 2331a and causing the star wheel 233 to flip:

[0070] like Figure 7 As shown in a, before contacting the protrusion 2111, the lower surface of the star wheel 233 is attached to the upper surface of the step structure 2112 and moves toward the direction close to the protrusion 2111, and at the same time, the protrusion 2111 is also approaching the positioning column 2331a. In this process, the step structure 2112 plays a role in correcting the angle, so that the star wheel 233 can contact the protrusion 2111 at a specific angle, and the abutment between the positioning column 2331a and the protrusion 2111 is more stable.

[0071] Figure 7 b to Figure 7 g illustrates the process from contact to separation between the protrusion 2111 and the positioning column 2331a. During this process, the star wheel 233 flips 90°. The angle of each flip is determined by the number of indicating surfaces 2332. The flip angle is equal to 360° divided by the number N of indicating surfaces 2332.

[0072] like Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 1 , when the positioning post 2331a is separated from the protrusion 2111, the lower surface of the star wheel 233 is in contact with the upper surface of the step structure 2112 on the other side, and leaves the step structure 2112 along the upper surface of the step structure 2112. In this way, the star wheel 233 can leave the driving part 211 at a specific angle, thereby solving the problem of the star wheel 233 turning over at a large or small angle.

[0073] Specifically, a slope 2112a is provided on one side of the step structure 2112 close to the protrusion 2111. The slope 2112a plays a guiding role in the process of the protrusion 2111 and the positioning column 2331a abutting against and separating from each other. In addition, the slope 2112a can also prevent the sharp edges of the step structure 2112 from hitting the indicating surface 2332 of the star wheel 233, causing the star wheel 233 to be worn or even damaged.

[0074] In summary, since the indicating structure 20 is provided with a gear assembly 220 for transmission, the driving part 211 can toggle the positioning post 2331a to flip the star wheel 233 by a certain angle, so that the indicating surface 2332 displayed on the top of the star wheel 233 is switched to an adjacent indicating surface 2332. In this way, the function of reading time is realized by simple parts, reducing the errors that may be brought by precision machining and precision assembly, lowering the process production cost, and enhancing the stability of reading time. Further, the driving part 211 includes a boss and a stepped structure 2112, and the stepped structure 2112 enables the flipped star wheel 233 to display the indicating surface 2332 at a specific angle, avoiding the display errors caused by the star wheel 233 being flipped too large or too small an angle.

[0075] Although the present invention has been described with reference to several exemplary embodiments, it should be understood that the terms used are illustrative and exemplary, rather than restrictive. Since the present invention can be embodied in many forms without departing from the spirit or essence of the invention, it should be understood that the above-described embodiments are not limited to any of the foregoing details, but should be construed broadly within the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims. Therefore, all variations and modifications falling within the scope of the claims or their equivalents should be covered by the appended claims.
