Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to clock technical field, specifically is a LCD alarm clock integrated with visual countdown function. BACKGROUND

[0002] The existing LCD alarm clock has single function, usually only has time display and alarm function, cannot satisfy the diversification demand of user to time management. For example, user often needs to carry out countdown operation under the scene of cooking, sports, study etc., and the existing LCD alarm clock cannot directly show countdown progress, user cannot directly understand the remaining time, and the use experience is not good, and the traditional time reminding is through sound reminding, and the reminding mode is single, and in some scenes, specific countdown reminding mode can better carry out timing reminding, for example, in the cooking environment, if simply carrying out sound reminding, the countdown reminding of the sound is easy to be covered by the noise of the oil smoke machine and the cooking, so that user cannot obtain the countdown information in time. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0003] The utility model aims at providing a LCD alarm clock integrated with visual countdown function for solving above-mentioned problem.

[0004] In order to realize the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0005] A LCD alarm clock integrated with visual countdown function, including input module, electronic movement, timer, LCD display screen, main control chip, environment acquisition module, speaker, vibrator, atmosphere lamp and power module, the input module is used for manually inputting time data and countdown data and sending data to the electronic movement and timer respectively, the electronic movement is used for generating time information and sending to the LCD display screen and displaying, and is synchronous to the main control chip, the timer is used for generating countdown information and sending to the LCD display screen and displaying countdown progress, and is synchronous to the main control chip, the environment acquisition module is used for collecting surrounding environment information and sending to the main control chip, the main control chip is connected with the speaker, vibrator and atmosphere lamp respectively and decides to trigger one or more in the speaker, vibrator and atmosphere lamp according to current time information, countdown information and environment information and carries out time reminding, countdown reminding and environment condition reminding, the main control chip is still connected with mobile terminal through wireless communication module and obtains the remote operation signal of the mobile terminal or sends the reminding and countdown reminding to the mobile terminal, and the power module is used for system power supply.

[0006] Preferably, the environment acquisition module includes temperature sensor, humidity sensor, smoke sensor, light sensor, sound sensor and human body infrared sensor.

[0007] Preferably, the timer adopts a visual countdown module, and the countdown forms include a progress bar, a digital display and a graphic animation display.

[0008] Preferably, the master control chip adopts an MCU single-chip processor.

[0009] Preferably, the input module adopts a key input or a touch screen input.

[0010] After the above technical solution is adopted, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] The utility model provides a LCD alarm clock integrated with visual countdown function, integrates time display, visual countdown, environment information collection and reminding, realizes the function of automatically triggering the reminding device according to environment information and countdown information through the intelligent processing of master control chip, and according to the current environment state of user, selectively triggers one or more of loudspeaker, vibrator and atmosphere lamp to remind, improves user experience, and simultaneously with the remote interaction of mobile terminal, can obtain environment monitoring information or sends countdown information to user mobile terminal when user is not, for example, mobile phone to remind, wide applicability, satisfies the diversified demand of user. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0012] Figure 1 The utility model is structural block diagram. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantage of the utility model more clear and obvious, the utility model is further explained in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described here are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0014] EXAMPLE

[0015] Please refer to Figure 1The utility model discloses a kind of LCD alarm clock integrated with visual countdown function, including input module, electronic movement, timer, LCD display, main control chip, environment acquisition module, speaker, vibrator, atmosphere lamp and power module, input module is used to manually input time data and countdown data and data is respectively sent to electronic movement and timer, electronic movement is used to generate time information and send to LCD display to display, and synchronously send to main control chip, timer is used to generate countdown information and send to LCD display and show countdown progress, and synchronously send to main control chip, the environment acquisition module is used to collect surrounding environment information and send to main control chip, main control chip is respectively connected with speaker, vibrator and atmosphere lamp, and according to current time information, countdown information and environment information determines to trigger one or more of speaker, vibrator and atmosphere lamp to carry out time reminder, countdown reminder and environment condition reminder, main control chip is also connected with mobile terminal by wireless communication module and obtains the remote operation signal of mobile terminal or sends reminder and countdown reminder to mobile terminal, power module is used for system power supply.
