The present application relates to the technical field of science popularization exhibits, and specifically relates to a timing method based on a rolling ball
clock. The present application comprises timing guide rails in an inclined distribution, which are arranged in at least two
layers in sequence from top to bottom. Each of the timing guide rails is provided with timing grooves and advanced guide grooves. The timing grooves are used to store a plurality of timing balls to represent the number of time units of the current layer. The rolling ball
clock further comprises a conveying
assembly for continuously supplying timing balls to the timing grooves of the uppermost layer with a
time difference. The timing method of the rolling ball
clock comprises the following steps: continuously conveying timing balls to the first layer of the timing grooves of the uppermost layer of the timing guide rails by the conveying
assembly, and each conveyed timing ball represents an increase of one time unit of the first layer of the timing grooves. The present application has a reasonable structure and precise and reliable action, thereby effectively stimulating the public interest in science and ultimately achieving the effect of enlightening science.
