[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clocks and watches, and in particular to a clock with rotating ornaments and hands that operate separately. Background Technology

[0002] Existing large clocks are generally decorated on the clock case or dial, which is rather monotonous and lacks dynamism. Some clocks also have decorations driven by the running clock movement, which consumes a lot of power and is prone to inaccurate timekeeping when the battery is low. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model provides a clock in which the rotating ornament and the hands operate separately.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A clock with rotating ornaments and hands that operate separately, the clock comprising:

[0006] Bell case;

[0007] The timekeeping hand is located on the front of the clock case and is controlled by a first movement located on the back of the clock case;

[0008] A first ornament is disposed on the front of the clock case and rotates, and the first ornament is controlled by a second movement disposed on the back of the clock case;

[0009] The second ornament is provided in several parts, and all of the second ornaments are provided on the front of the clock case;

[0010] A connecting mechanism is provided, and each connecting mechanism corresponds to one of the second ornaments. The connecting mechanism includes an upper connecting part and a lower connecting part. The upper surface of the upper connecting part is connected to the bottom surface of the second ornament. The lower connecting part is located on the front of the clock case and rotates. The lower connecting part is controlled by a second movement located on the back of the clock case. The upper connecting part and the lower connecting part are detachably connected.

[0011] As a further improvement, a first gear is provided inside the clock case, and the rotating shaft of the first ornament passes through the front of the clock case and is connected to the gear shaft of the first gear, and the first gear is controlled by the second movement.

[0012] As a further improvement, the inside of the clock case is also provided with several second gears. The rotating shaft of the lower connecting part passes through the front of the clock case and is connected to the gear shaft of the second gear. The second gear meshes with the first gear through a driven gear.

[0013] As a further improvement, the lower connecting part includes a base, a light rod, and an upper cover. The base and the upper cover are respectively located at both ends of the light rod. A sliding part is sleeved on the outside of the light rod, and the sliding part is located on the outside of the light rod and moves up and down. The end face of the upper cover near the light rod is provided with an inwardly recessed relief groove, which is adapted to the sliding part. A connecting groove is opened on the bottom surface of the upper connecting part, and an installation groove is opened on the groove wall of the connecting groove. A snap-fit ​​part is provided in the installation groove, which can slide left and right through the installation groove. The snap-fit ​​part extends out from the groove wall of the connecting groove, and a spring is provided in the installation groove. The spring is sleeved on the outside of the snap-fit ​​part, and the two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the groove wall of the installation groove and the surface of the snap-fit ​​part.

[0014] As a further improvement, the end face of the snap-fit ​​part near the connecting groove is inclined to form a first inclined surface. The inclined direction of the first inclined surface is from the groove wall of the connecting groove to the outer side of the upper connecting part, and inclined downward.

[0015] As a further improvement, the end of the sliding part near the top cover is chamfered to form a third bevel, and the end of the sliding part away from the top cover is chamfered to form a fourth bevel.

[0016] As a further improvement, the end of the top cover facing away from the light rod is chamfered to give it a second bevel.

[0017] As can be seen from the above description of the structure of this utility model, compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: In use, the first movement controls the timekeeping hand independently, while the first and second decorative items are controlled independently by the second movement. Since the first and second movements each have independent power supplies, the first and second decorative items operate separately from the timekeeping hand, so that the rotation of the first and second decorative items does not consume the power supply of the first movement corresponding to the timekeeping hand, thus avoiding energy consumption. This ensures that the first and second decorative items do not affect the stability of the timekeeping system, while also guaranteeing the dynamic feel of the first and second decorative items, giving the clock a good sense of dynamism and aesthetic appeal.

[0028] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] As attached Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a clock with rotating ornaments and hands operating separately includes a clock case 1, a timekeeping hand 2, a first ornament 3, a second ornament 4, and a connecting mechanism 5. The timekeeping hand 2 is located on the front of the clock case 1 and is controlled by a first movement 21 located on the back of the clock case 1 for displaying the time.

[0030] In addition, as attached Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the front of the clock case 1 is also provided with a first decorative element 3 and eight second decorative elements 4. Both the first decorative element 3 and the second decorative elements 4 are controlled by a second movement 31 located on the back of the clock case 1. Inside the clock case 1 is a first gear 32. The rotating shaft of the first decorative element 3 passes through the front of the clock case 1 and connects to the gear shaft of the first gear 32. The first gear 32 can be connected to the second movement 31 via several intermediate gears (not shown), thereby driving the first gear 32 to rotate the first decorative element 3. Inside the clock case 1 are also eight second gears 41. The second gears 41 mesh with the first gear 32 via driven gears 33. Each of the eight second decorative elements 4 is connected to one of the eight second gears 41 via a connecting mechanism 5, thereby driving the second gears 41 to rotate the second decorative elements 4 via the second movement 31. When the first decorative element 3 rotates coaxially with the timekeeping pointer 2, the rotation axis of the first decorative element 3 and the rotation axis of the timekeeping pointer 2 are independent of each other and do not affect each other. This technology is a publicly available prior art, and the part that can be implemented will not be described or explained in detail in this utility model.

[0031] It is worth mentioning that, as shown in the attached document Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the connecting mechanism 5 includes an upper connecting part 51 and a lower connecting part 54. The upper surface of the upper connecting part 51 is connected to the bottom surface of the second ornament 4, while the lower connecting part 54 is connected to the second gear 41. In use, by connecting the upper connecting part 51 and the lower connecting part 54, the second ornament 4 can be installed onto the second gear 41, which is indirectly controlled by the second mechanism 31.

[0032] Among them, as attached Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the upper connecting part 51 and the lower connecting part 54 are detachably connected. Specifically, the bottom surface of the upper connecting part 51 has a connecting groove 511, and the wall of the connecting groove 511 has an installation groove 512. The installation groove 512 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part 52, which can slide left and right through the installation groove 512. The snap-fit ​​part 52 extends out from the wall of the connecting groove 511, and the installation groove 512 is provided with a spring 53. The spring 53 is sleeved on the outside of the snap-fit ​​part 52, and the two ends of the spring 53 are respectively connected to the wall of the installation groove 512 and the surface of the snap-fit ​​part 52. The lower connecting part 54 includes a base 541, a smooth rod 542, and an upper cover 543. The base 541 and the upper cover 543 are respectively located at both ends of the smooth rod 542. A sliding part 55 is sleeved on the outside of the smooth rod 542. The sliding part 55 is located on the outside of the smooth rod 542 and moves up and down. The upper cover 543 has an inwardly recessed relief groove 544 on the end face near the smooth rod 542. The relief groove 544 is adapted to the sliding part 55. During installation, the upper connecting part 51 is fitted over the outside of the lower connecting part 54, and the smooth rod 542 is inserted into the connecting groove 511. During the process, the upper cover 543 presses the locking part 52, causing the locking part 52 to retract into the mounting groove 512 and compressing the spring 53 until the upper cover 543 moves above the locking part 52. At this time, the locking part 52 is reset under the elastic restoring force of the spring 53 and inserted between the upper cover 543 and the sliding part 55. The locking part 52 is used to lock the upper cover 543, preventing the upper connecting part 51 from being easily pulled off from the outside of the lower connecting part 54, thereby installing the second decorative item 4 onto the second gear 41. And because the sliding part 55 is under the action of gravity, it slides down to the bottom of the smooth rod 542 and is placed on the base 541, preventing the sliding part 55 from affecting the use of the locking part 52.

[0033] As attached Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, when the second decorative element 4 needs to be replaced, the upper connecting part 51 can be pressed further down onto the lower connecting part 54. During this process, the sliding part 55 presses against the locking part 52, causing the locking part 52 to retract until the sliding part 55 moves above the locking part 52. At this time, the locking part 52 resets and inserts between the sliding part 55 and the base 541. Then, the upper connecting part 51 is pulled outward. At this time, the sliding part 55, pushed by the locking part 52, will move upward along the smooth rod 542 until the sliding part 55... The upper end is inserted into the recess 544, the edge of the sliding part 55 coincides with the edge of the upper cover 543, and then the upper connecting part 51 continues to be pulled upward. The locking part 52 retracts under the pressure of the sliding part 55 and the upper cover 543 until the locking part 52 is completely separated from the upper cover 543. At this time, the upper connecting part 51 can be removed from the lower connecting part 54. Finally, a new or different style of second decorative item 4 can be replaced to increase the diversity of the clock, enhance the aesthetics of the design, and make the clock have a good viewing effect.

[0034] Additionally, as attached Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the end face of the snap-fit ​​part 52 near the connecting groove 511 is inclined to form a first inclined surface 521. The inclination direction of the first inclined surface 521 is from the groove wall of the connecting groove 511 to the outer side of the upper connecting part 51, and then downwards. At the same time, the end face of the sliding part 55 near the upper cover 543 is chamfered to form a third inclined surface 551. The end face of the sliding part 55 away from the upper cover 543 is chamfered to form a fourth inclined surface 552. The end face of the upper cover 543 away from the light rod 542 is chamfered to form a second inclined surface 545. All of these are to use the guiding effect of the first inclined surface 521, the second inclined surface 545, the third inclined surface 551, and the fourth inclined surface 552 to ensure that the upper cover 543 and the sliding part 55 can smoothly press the snap-fit ​​part 52, causing the snap-fit ​​part 52 to extend and retract, thereby completing the installation and removal of the second decorative item 4.

[0035] In summary, in use, the first movement 21 independently controls the timekeeping hand 2, while the first decorative element 3 and the second decorative element 4 are independently controlled by the second movement 31. Since the first and second movements 21 each have independent power supplies, and the first and second decorative elements 3 and 4 operate separately from the timekeeping hand 2, their rotation does not consume power from the corresponding first movement 21, thus avoiding energy consumption. This ensures that the first and second decorative elements 3 and 4 do not affect the stability of the timekeeping system, while also maintaining their dynamic appearance, resulting in a clock with good dynamism and aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, by separating the upper connecting part 51 and the lower connecting part 54, the upper connecting part 51 and the second decorative element 4 can be removed and replaced with new or different styles of second decorative elements 4, increasing the diversity of the clock and enhancing its aesthetic appeal and visual effect.

[0036] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the design concept of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to this utility model using this concept shall be considered as an infringement of the protection scope of this utility model.
