Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of time management tools, in particular to a time manager for children. Background Art

[0002] In daily life, we often see children in early childhood struggling to learn. Parents often complain that their children are restless in class, fidgeting and unable to focus; they watch TV as soon as they get home; they become distracted while doing homework; and they might even drink water, go to the bathroom, or play with toys when you're not paying attention. These are all signs of a lack of self-discipline. Self-discipline is the ability to control oneself. People who lack self-discipline are easily distracted by various subjective and objective factors, making it difficult to complete tasks and achieve goals. Cultivating children's self-control means teaching them to regulate themselves and exercise self-discipline, allowing them to consciously control their behavior in any situation. At birth, children lack the ability to control themselves. They are completely driven by impulse and desire, making it difficult for them to stay on task for long periods of time. Therefore, developing a children's time management dashboard is a good way to cultivate self-discipline in children.

[0003] Existing smart time management boards for children can refer to the solution described in the Chinese invention patent publication with publication number "CN112071133A." This smart time management board features a touchscreen display connected to a main control module, a clock-in module, a communication module, a wireless transmission module, a client terminal, a server terminal, a time management module, an AI voice module, a speaker module, and a microphone. This solution integrates intelligent voice and clock-in technologies with the smart board via a cloud service. However, this solution is relatively costly and cumbersome to operate, making it unsuitable for use by young children. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a children's time manager. Compared with the online clock-in solution used in the prior art, this solution has the characteristics of simple structure, easy operation, and convenient observation and recording.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A children's time manager comprises a base, and a timing module, a display module and an operation module arranged on the base; the operation module comprises at least two operation buttons for representing items;

[0007] The display module is provided with a display unit corresponding to each operation button;

[0008] The operation button is electrically connected to the timing module and the display unit corresponding thereto;

[0009] After the timing module completes the countdown, the operation button is operated to light up the corresponding display unit.

[0010] The present invention adopts the above-mentioned technical solution, which relates to a children's time manager. The time manager employs multiple operation buttons corresponding to different tasks, such as sleeping, washing, writing, and other items that require clocking in. Each operation button is provided with a display unit to provide feedback upon completion of the task.

Based on this embodiment, the operating particles representing different categories can be replaced and docked to the operating buttons, making it easy to change the items displayed on the children's time manager. Previously, the check-in items on the children's time manager required manual erasing and rewriting, or inserting cards of different categories. In this embodiment, the operating particles can be simply replaced.

[0018] In a specific embodiment, the base body is provided with a flange along the edge of the operating button, and the operating button is movably embedded within the flange. The operating particle is fixedly mounted on the flange, and a pressing member is provided within the operating particle, the lower end of which presses against the operating button. In this way, the operating particle is fixedly mounted on the flange of the base body, and the pressing member within the operating particle can be used to indirectly press the operating button.

[0019] In a further embodiment, the operating particle includes a sleeve and a pressing component, the lower end of the sleeve is fixedly connected to a socket and is sleeved on the flange through the socket, the pressing component is movably arranged in the sleeve and the upper end of the pressing component is exposed at the barrel mouth of the sleeve.

[0020] Preferably, the base is provided with a storage cavity or storage groove for storing the operating particles; after the operating particles are removed from the operating button or the base, they can be placed in the storage cavity or storage groove. In this way, the operating particles can be neatly placed, making storage and retrieval convenient.

[0021] In a specific embodiment, a bottom plate extends rearward from the lower end of the base, with a barrier formed upward at the edge of the bottom plate. The receiving groove is formed between the bottom plate and the barrier, and the manipulation particles can be placed in the receiving groove. This solution places the receiving groove at the rear side of the lower end of the base, which not only accommodates the manipulation particles but also increases the support area at the lower end of the base, making it more stable.

Using the performance display unit to display points and other information externally helps children develop a habit of long-term exercise.

[0036] The front end surface of the base 1 is constructed as an inclined surface that gradually tilts backward from bottom to top, which is more conducive to observation. The operation button 21 is electrically connected to the timing module and the corresponding display unit. After the timing module completes the countdown, the operation button 21 is operated to light up the corresponding display unit. The children's time manager uses multiple operation buttons 21 to represent different matters, such as recording items that require clocking in, such as sleeping, washing, and writing. And a display unit is provided corresponding to each operation button 21 to provide feedback after completing the task.

[0037] During use, after completing the task set by the timing module, the child can press the operation button 21 to light up the corresponding display unit to indicate that the task has been completed.

[0038] exist Figures 1 to 4In a further embodiment, the base 1 is equipped with an operating particle 5 corresponding to each operating button 21 of the operating module. The operating particle 5 is detachably connected to the operating button 21 or the surrounding area of ​​the base 1. The operating particle 5 enables the pressing of the operating button 21. In this embodiment, the operating particle 5 is detachably provided, and the operating button 21 can also be operated using the operating particle 5. Furthermore, the operating particles 5 are provided with text, patterns, or logos representing different items. For example, the text, patterns, or logos can be attached to the outer surface of the operating particle 5 by spraying, engraving, or stickers, or the operating particles 5 can be constructed into shapes representing different items. The items represented can be previewing, reviewing, doing homework, doing crafts, and other activities that children need to open and participate in. Based on this embodiment, the operating particles 5 representing different categories can be replaced and docked to the operating buttons 21, making it easy to change the items configured in the children's time manager. In the past, the check-in items in the children's time manager required manual erasing and rewriting, or inserting cards of different categories. In this embodiment, the operating particles 5 can be simply replaced.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, the base 1 is provided with a flange 11 along the edge of the operating button 21, and the operating button 21 is movably embedded in the flange 11. The operating particle 5 is fixedly sleeved on the flange 11, and a pressing component is provided in the operating particle 5, the lower end of which presses against the operating button 21. In this way, the operating particle 5 is sleeved on the flange 11 of the base 1 to achieve fixed connection, and the pressing component in the operating particle 5 can be used to indirectly press the operating button 21. Figure 5 and 6 In the further scheme shown, the operating particle 5 includes a sleeve 51 and a pressing component 52. The lower end of the sleeve 51 is fixedly connected to a sleeve 53 and is sleeved on the flange 11 through the sleeve 53.

In a specific embodiment, a bottom plate 12 is provided at the rear of the lower end of the base 1, and a fence 13 is formed upward on the edge of the bottom plate 12. The storage groove 10 is formed between the bottom plate 12 and the fence 13, and the operating particles 5 can be placed in the storage groove 10. The scheme here sets the storage groove 10 on the rear side of the lower end of the base 1, which can not only be used to receive the operating particles 5, but also increases the support area of ​​the lower end of the base 1, making its placement more stable.

[0041] When using the children's time manager of the above structure, the operating particle 5 is first placed on the flange 11 on the edge of the operating button 21, and then the pressing part 52 of the operating particle 5 is pressed so that its lower end acts on the operating button 21. The device selects the project and is in the set state. Then, based on the adjustment part 32, the electronic dial 31 or mechanical dial is set to the progress time of the project, and then the corresponding operating particle 5 is clicked to start the project task. After the timing is completed, the time manager will emit light or sound feedback. At that time, double-clicking the operating particle 5 will light up the corresponding display unit [including the first display unit 41 and the second display unit 42] to indicate that the task has been completed. After completing all the above steps, the tree group lights composed of multiple second display units 42 are lit, and the points displayed on the performance display unit increase.
