[0020] Clearly and completely describe the technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model, apparently, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the utility model, and is not all the embodiment. Based on the embodiment in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the ordinary skill in the art without making creative labor belong to the range of protection of the utility model.
[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 And Figure 5 A sundial comprises turf 1, bluestone 2 is installed on the inner side of turf 1, bluestone 2 reinforces the outside of floor tile 3, floor tile 3 is laid on the inner side of bluestone 2 and the upper part of the foundation, floor tile 3 effectively removes rainwater and further reinforces and limits the position of standing area 4 and time display plate 5, standing area 4 for displaying months is laid in the middle of floor tile 3, standing area 4 can be stood in the corresponding area according to different months, time display plate 5 for displaying time is laid on both sides of the front end of standing area 4, after projection mapping on the outside of time display plate 5, the corresponding time period can be confirmed.
[0022] Please refer to Figure 5 Screw sleeve 6 is installed in the foundation in the middle of time display plate 5, conical nail 7 is fixedly connected to the lower part of screw sleeve 6, barb is installed on the outside of conical nail 7, after a user stands in the middle of floor tile 3 and confirms the installation direction of time display plate 5 according to important areas, screw sleeve 6 is installed in the corresponding position, screw sleeve 6 extends to the inside of the foundation through conical nail 7, and the stability of the sundial during construction is effectively avoided after conical nail 7 is expanded.
[0023] Please refer to Figure 5 Positioning bolt 8 is installed in time display plate 5, positioning bolt 8 penetrates time display plate 5 and extends to the inside of screw sleeve 6, marks for displaying corresponding time are installed on the outside of positioning bolt 8, after time display plate 5 is installed on the upper part of screw sleeve 6, positioning bolt 8 is installed in time display plate 5 and extends to the inside of screw sleeve 6, and the stability of time display plate 5 during positioning is ensured, and marks for displaying corresponding time are installed on the outside of positioning bolt 8, when a user stands in the corresponding area, sunlight irradiates, drives the shadow to be mapped on time display plate 5 in the corresponding area, and the corresponding time can be quickly observed by observing positioning bolt 8.
[0024] Please refer to Figure 1The floor tile 3 is laid between the bluestone slab 2 and the standing area 4. The floor tile 3 is made of permeable brick. By installing the floor tile 3 on the inside of the bluestone slab 2 and setting the floor tile 3 on the outside of the standing area 4 and the time display plate 5, the floor tile 3 protects the outside of the standing area 4 and the time display plate 5. At the same time, the floor tile 3 is made of permeable brick. When it rains, the floor tile 3 effectively promotes the infiltration of rainwater, preventing rainwater from overflowing the floor tile 3 and affecting the detection effect.
[0025] Please see Figure 1 The standing area 4 faces north, and a set of stone sundials is installed on one side of the grass 1. With the standing area 4 facing north, the sun shines on the user, causing the shadow to be projected onto the outside of the time display panel 5. The time can be observed according to the different areas of the shadow projection. At the same time, the stone sundials installed on one side of the grass 1 can be compared with the human body.
[0026] Please see Figure 3 The time display panel 5 has time scale grooves marked on both sides. The left side of the standing area 4 is marked with July, August, September, October, November and December from top to bottom; the right side of the standing area 4 is marked with June, May, April, March, February and January from top to bottom. By marking the areas on both sides of the time display panel 5 to display the time, and considering that the angle of sunlight is different in different months, twelve areas are set outside the standing area 4. Different months are stood in different areas inside the standing area 4, thereby improving its accuracy when used and effectively avoiding deviations in the standing area that could affect the display structure.
[0027] Working principle: In use, an area is designed inside the turf 1, and a bluestone slab 2 is installed inside the area. The bluestone slab 2 protects the outside of the sundial. At the same time, the origin O and the due south direction are confirmed on the inside of the bluestone slab 2, and the semi-major axes OA and OB of the ellipse are each 300cm, and the semi-minor axis OC is determined, as follows. Figure 3 Determine the distance X projected onto the origin O on the major axis at each time point, with negative values to the left and positive values to the right. The distance Y projected onto the origin O on the minor axis is positive values upwards and negative values downwards. (This is achieved through...) Figure 3 The punctuation marks on the ellipse can be used to determine the punctuation marks on the ellipse. At the same time, a screw sleeve 6 is installed in the corresponding area. After the conical nail 7 is inserted into the foundation by the screw sleeve 6, the installation point can be confirmed. At the same time, a time display plate 5 is installed on the upper part of the screw sleeve 6, and the position of the time display plate 5 is reinforced by the positioning bolt 8. At the same time, floor tiles 3 are laid on the outside of the standing area 4 and the time display plate 5, thus completing the installation of the sundial. At the same time, the user can stand in the corresponding area inside the standing area 4 according to the different months. After the sunlight shines on it, it is projected onto the corresponding area outside the standing area 4, so that the time can be confirmed.
[0028] While the embodiments of the present application have been illustrated and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the application, which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
