The utility model belongs to the technical field of mechanical clocks, and particularly relates to a mechanical
clock time telling device which comprises a time telling power heavy hammer, a transmission mechanism and a
clock hammer, the time telling power heavy hammer is connected with the
clock hammer through the transmission mechanism, when time telling is needed, the time telling power heavy hammer descends under the action of gravity, and then the clock hammer is driven to conduct knocking time telling action. A position detection switch is arranged on a descending path of the time telling power heavy hammer, the position detection switch is connected with a lifting mechanism through a
control unit, and the position detection switch is a time
delay switch and is used for delaying a set threshold value after the time telling power heavy hammer descends and triggers the position detection switch and then sending a trigger
signal to the
control unit. After the time telling power heavy hammer descends to the position detection switch, the time telling power heavy hammer is lifted after the time telling power heavy hammer delays the set threshold value. According to the mechanical
clock time telling device of the utility model, the automatic lifting of the time telling power heavy hammer is realized by adopting the switch additionally provided with the time
delay setting, the time telling failure condition under the
critical condition can be eliminated, and the time telling reliability is improved.
