[0023] See Figures 1 to 3 One embodiment of this utility model's timekeeping device is applicable to a timer (not shown) installed on a clock 9 and signal-connected to the clock 9. The timekeeping device includes a housing unit 1, a transmission unit 2 disposed within the housing unit 1, a rotating decorative element 3 rotatably mounted on the top side of the housing unit 1 and connected to the transmission unit 2, a movable decorative element 4 mounted on the top side of the housing unit 1 and connected to the transmission unit 2, a control unit 5 for signal-connecting to the timer and electrically connecting to the transmission unit 2, and a loudspeaker 6 electrically connected to the control unit 5. Since there are many types of clocks 9, the shape and appearance of the clock 9 in implementation are not limited to the style shown in the figure.

[0024] The box unit 1 comprises a box body 11 and a partition body 12 arranged in the box body 11. The box body 11 is provided with a through hole 111, a sliding groove 112 arranged on one side of the through hole 111, and two rail grooves 113 arranged on the other side of the sliding groove 112. The sliding groove 112 extends in an arc shape around the through hole 111. The partition body 12 comprises a support part 121 arranged below the sliding groove 112 and an axle part 122 arranged below the through hole 111. In this embodiment, the box body 11 is composed of a base 114 and an upper cover 115. The through hole 111, the sliding groove 112, and the rail grooves 113 are arranged in the upper cover 115. The partition body 12 is arranged in the base 114.

[0025] Referring to Figures 3 to 5 The transmission unit 2 comprises a motor module 21 arranged in the box body 11, a reduction gear set 22 arranged in the box body 11 and connected to the motor module 21, and a main gear module 23 rotatably arranged around the axle part 122 of the partition body 12. The main gear module 23 is arranged below the through hole 111, and the reduction gear set 22 is partially arranged through the partition body 12 and connected to the main gear module 23.

[0026] In practice, the reduction gear set 22 can have various structures as long as it can achieve the functions of speed reduction and transmission, and therefore is not limited to the illustrated structure. The partition body 12 can have various shapes as long as it can support the main gear module 23 and connect the main gear module 23 to the reduction gear set 22. In other embodiments of the present application, the box unit 1 can not comprise the partition body 12, and the main gear module 23 can be directly arranged in the box body 11.

[0027] The main gear module 23 has a shaft tube assembly 231 vertically and rotatably sleeved on the shaft rod part 122, a main gear 232 rotatably sleeved on the shaft tube assembly 231 and engaged with the reduction gear set 22, a transmission rod 233 rotatably sleeved on the shaft tube assembly 231 and above the main gear 232, and a spring 234 sleeved on the shaft tube assembly 231 and elastically supported between the transmission rod 233 and the main gear 232. The main gear 232 and the transmission rod 233 are elastically pushed up and down by the spring 234 and cannot be separated from the two outwardly expanded end parts 235 of the shaft tube assembly 231, so that a rotation resistance exists between the main gear 232, the transmission rod 233 and the shaft tube assembly 231. The transmission rod 233 extends radially outward beyond the support part 121 of the partition body 12 and can be downwardly limited on the support part 121. The transmission rod 233 has a protruding column part 236 at the extending end part and can be upwardly penetrated through the sliding groove 112.

[0028] The rotating decoration 3 includes an insertion rod part 31 rotatably downwardly inserted in the through hole 111 and fixed on the shaft tube assembly 231, and a rotating modeling part 32 arranged at the top end of the insertion rod part 31.

[0029] The moving decoration 4 includes a moving part 41 movably installed between the rail grooves 113, and a moving modeling part 42 arranged on the moving part 41. The moving part 41 has a left-right extending and a linkage hole 411 for the protruding column part 236 to be upwardly inserted and relatively rotated and left-right moved. In the embodiment, the linkage hole 411 is a through hole, but in other embodiments of the utility model, the linkage hole 411 can be changed into a downwardly opened groove or a blind hole.

[0030] The rotating modeling part 32 and the moving modeling part 42 have various designs, such as birds or other animals, so the shape appearance is not limited to the shown style.

[0031] The control unit 5 is electrically connected with the motor module 21 of the transmission unit 2 and can output sound through the loudspeaker 6 and has a volume adjuster 51. The control unit 5 adjusts the volume of the sound output through the loudspeaker 6 when the volume adjuster 51 is operated.

[0032] Referring to Figures 6 to 8, the timer of the clock 9 reaches a preset time, a control signal is generated, for example, at the hour, the control unit 5 is triggered by the control signal of the timer, and controls the motor module 21 to operate in a predetermined operation mode, and sound is output through the loudspeaker 6.

[0033] In this embodiment, the control unit 5 controls the motor module 21 to drive the main gear 232 through the reduction gear set 22 to operate in a manner of alternating forward rotation by a predetermined angle and reverse rotation by a predetermined angle for a predetermined number of times. The main gear 232 drives the transmission rod 233 and the shaft tube assembly 231 to rotate relative to the box body 11 through the spring 234, thereby driving the rotating ornament 3 to rotate, and making the transmission rod 233 swing back and forth along the sliding groove 112, and synchronously driving the moving ornament 4 to displace back and forth, at this time, the protruding column part 236 of the transmission rod 233 displaces left and right in the linkage hole 411. In implementation, the predetermined operation mode can have various different states.

[0034] When the transmission rod 233 is blocked and cannot rotate, for example, the moving ornament 4 is blocked and cannot be driven to displace by the transmission rod 233, so that the torque applied to the main gear 232 by the reduction gear set 22 is greater than the rotation resistance, the main gear 232 rotates relative to the transmission rod 233 through the spring 234, which can avoid the reduction gear set 22 between the main gear 232 and the motor module 21 from being damaged.

[0035] In summary, the timepiece of the present application can make the rotating ornament 3 rotate and the moving ornament 4 displace back and forth when triggered by the control signal of the timer through the structural design of the transmission unit 2, the rotating ornament 3 and the moving ornament 4, which increases the interestingness of clock time announcement, and thus the purpose of the present application can be achieved.

[0036] The above description is only a specific implementation of the present application, and cannot limit the scope of the claims of the present application, and equivalent changes in the implementation according to the description of the claims and the specification of the present application should also be covered by the scope of the claims of the present application.
