[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of decorative items technology, specifically relating to a decorative item with a timekeeping function. Background Technology

[0002] In today's fast-paced life, time management is crucial. Traditional timekeeping tools, such as electronic clocks and mechanical watches, while accurate, are often limited in appearance and function. Electronic clocks typically just display the time digits, and mechanical watches primarily focus on their core function of precise timekeeping, lacking additional decorative or aesthetic appeal.

[0003] As people's living standards improve, their demand for home and office decoration is increasing. People expect items placed in their interior spaces to not only fulfill basic functional needs but also beautify the environment and add enjoyment to life. However, while common decorative items on the market, such as various art sculptures and creative trinkets, excel in their aesthetic appeal, they lack the practical function of telling time. This means that users still need to find dedicated timekeeping devices when they need to know the time, which is inconvenient.

[0004] To meet people's dual needs for timekeeping and decoration, developing a decorative item with a timekeeping function has become a new direction. This new type of decorative item can cleverly integrate timekeeping with decorative elements, serving as an aesthetically pleasing interior decoration that adds a unique style and atmosphere to the space, while also allowing people to easily check the time at any time, improving the convenience of life and work, and has broad market prospects.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] This utility model relates to an ornament with a timekeeping function, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, it includes a base 1, a connecting bracket 2 is provided on the top surface of the base 1, and the top of the connecting bracket 2 is rotatably connected to the main body 3 of the ornament. The main body 3 of the ornament includes a shell 36, and timing devices 4 are provided at intervals around the periphery of the shell 36.

[0031] Specifically, the shell 36 has a polyhedral structure, which is not limited in this application. In this embodiment, the shell 36 is a cube, with first grooves 31 formed on all four sides. The timing device 4 is embedded in the first grooves 31 for fixation. A second groove 32 is formed on the bottom surface of the shell 36, and a bearing 5 is axially embedded in the second groove 32. The bearing 5 includes an outer ring and an inner ring rotatably connected within the outer ring. The outer ring is connected to the inner wall of the second groove 32, and the inner ring is rotatably connected inside the second groove 32. Figure 4As shown, the top of the connecting bracket 2 has a connecting shaft 21 that is adapted to the inner ring of the bearing 5. The connecting shaft 21 is tightly inserted into the inner ring of the bearing 5 to allow the main body 3 of the ornament to rotate on the connecting bracket 2. In use, the user can place the entire ornament on a table for easy viewing of the timing device 4 from various directions to check the time. Simultaneously, the rotatability of the main body 3 increases the user's interactivity and enhances the enjoyment of use. Furthermore, the timing device 4 in this embodiment is a mechanical watch, preferably a manual-winding mechanical watch, which consists of a power system, a transmission gear train, an escapement mechanism, a regulating mechanism, and a pointer system. The mainspring in the power system can be wound by rotating the crown. All the systems and mechanisms of the aforementioned manual-winding mechanical watch are existing mature technologies, and their specific composition and principles will not be elaborated upon here.

[0032] Example 2:

[0033] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the timing device 4 is an electronic watch. An electronic watch is a mature timekeeping device that achieves its function through the cooperation of an electronic circuit system, a power supply system, and a display system. It includes an electronic control component 41 and a digital display screen embedded in the first slot 31. Figure 5 As shown, the housing 36 has an internal cavity 34 for mounting the electronic control component 41. The electronic control component 41 has an electronic circuit system consisting of a quartz oscillator, an integrated circuit chip, capacitors, and resistors, as well as a power supply system consisting of a battery and battery contacts. These are all existing mature technologies and will not be described in detail here. A through hole 35 is also provided in the internal cavity 34 to connect to the digital display screen. The circuit on the electronic control component 41 is connected to the digital display screen through the through hole 35 to display the time on the digital display screen.

[0034] Furthermore, to facilitate battery replacement in the power system, a third groove 33 communicating with the inner cavity 34 is provided on the top of the housing 36. A cover 6 is detachably connected to the third groove 33. In this embodiment, the cover 6 and the third groove 33 are connected by a thread, but other connection methods such as snap-fit ​​or interference fit can also be used to ensure that the cover 6 and the third groove 33 are detachable. In use, the battery can be replaced by opening the cover 6.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
