Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clock technology, and more specifically to an optimized and upgraded device for a cuckoo clock. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional clocks have various ways of telling time, but they are all rather monotonous and uninteresting. Therefore, someone designed the cuckoo clock, in which a cuckoo bird inside the clock extends forward and chirps every hour, adding to the clock's charm.

[0003] The existing cuckoo clock has a complex structure and is inconvenient to install, so the structure has been optimized and upgraded. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an optimized and upgraded device for a cuckoo clock in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An optimized and upgraded device for a cuckoo clock includes a bottom shell and a housing, with the bottom sides of the housing connected to the top of the bottom shell via snap-fit ​​connections.

[0007] The bottom case has mounting holes for mounting the clock.

[0008] The bottom shell has four corner posts for fixing, and magnets are embedded in the outer ends of the posts.

[0009] The base has a support column, on which a swing arm is rotatably connected. The bottom of the swing arm has a first magnet slot, and the bottom of the base has a through hole communicating with the first magnet slot. The first magnet slot is used to hold a magnet. A copper coil is placed at the bottom of the clock. When the copper coil is energized, it generates an alternating magnetic field, which interacts with the magnet at the bottom of the swing arm, driving the swing arm to swing through magnetic repulsion. The device can be easily attached to a refrigerator or similar surface using the magnet on the fixing column, making it convenient to install and suitable for various applications.

[0010] The bottom shell has battery slots on both sides of the support column. The battery slots are used to hold batteries, and the two symmetrical battery slots ensure that the batteries are evenly distributed and avoid uneven weight distribution.

[0011] The top of the bottom shell is provided with a fixing groove. One end of an L-shaped fixing plate is inserted into the fixing groove and snapped in place. The inner wall of the L-shaped fixing plate is provided with a fixing post. The support post is provided with a fixing groove, and the fixing post and the fixing groove are inserted into each other. By setting the L-shaped fixing plate to close the outer end of the support post, the swing arm is prevented from falling off the support post.

[0012] The bottom of the box is provided with first slots on both sides, and the top of the bottom shell is provided with first clips on both sides. The first clips and the first slots are engaged.

[0013] The box includes an upper cover and a lower cover, which are engaged and snapped together.

[0014] The top of the cover has a speaker slot, and the front of the cover has a sensor mounting slot.

[0015] The back of the lower cover has a chip slot and a support block at the bottom. The speaker slot is used to install the speaker, the sensor slot is used to install the photosensitive sensor, and the chip slot is used to insert the control circuit board. The bottom is supported by the support block. Both the speaker and the photosensitive sensor are electrically connected to the control circuit board.

[0016] The lower cover contains a cuckoo bird body, which is rotatably connected to the slide plate. The slide plate is slidably connected to the slide groove on the lower cover. The lower cover also contains a drive device for driving the slide plate to slide along the slide groove.

[0017] The driving device includes a drive motor, a driving gear, and a driven gear. The bottom of the lower cover has a motor mounting slot for mounting the drive motor. The driving gear is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor. The driven gear is fitted onto a rotating shaft on the lower cover. The driving gear and driven gear mesh with each other. A drive arm is mounted on the driven gear. A limiting groove is provided on the sliding plate. A limiting rod is provided at one end of the drive arm, and the limiting rod is inserted into the limiting groove. The drive motor drives the limiting rod to rotate reciprocally, thereby causing the sliding plate to slide, allowing the cuckoo bird to move back and forth.

[0018] The upper cover has a second slot on both sides, and the lower cover has a second head on both sides. The second slots and the second heads engage with each other.

[0019] The lower cover is equipped with a head-raising device, which includes a lifting rod, a connecting seat, and a base. The lifting rod is located below the cuckoo bird body. One end of the connecting seat is connected to the lifting rod, and the other end is rotatably connected to the base. The connecting seat has a second magnet slot, and the mounting seat has a winding post. The second magnet slot is used to install magnets, and the winding post is used to install copper coils. The copper coils are connected to the control circuit board. When the copper coils are energized, they generate an alternating magnetic field, which interacts with the magnets in the second magnet slot. The magnetic repulsion force drives the lifting rod to lift, causing the cuckoo bird body to nod, increasing the fun of the device.

[0020] In this invention, when a person approaches the photosensor, the photosensor detects them and sends a signal to the control circuit board. The control circuit board then controls the speaker to play sound and simultaneously controls the motor to move the cuckoo bird body in and out, increasing the fun of the device.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] 1. Magnets are embedded in the four corners of the bottom shell, which can be directly attached to iron surfaces such as refrigerators and metal brackets without drilling or gluing, achieving quick and easy installation.

[0023] 2. The bottom shell and the box body are connected by snap-fit, which makes assembly quick and convenient and improves installation efficiency. Attached Figure Description
