Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] Conventionally, various adjustments of wall clocks such as removing the wall clock from the wall every time adjustments such as time adjustment and calendar setting are made, and then re-hanging it on the wall, are performed easily. (EN) Provided is a wall clock equipped with a remote control device capable of controlling. [Structure] In a wall clock mounted on a high place of a wall or a pillar to display the time, when adjustment of the time of the wall clock 1 or other adjustment is necessary, the user operates the operation button 3 of the remote control device 2 at hand. And adjust. The remote control signal is emitted from the transmitter 4 of the remote control device 2 to the receiver 5 of the wall clock 1. In order to reduce and save current consumption, the wall clock 1 is equipped with a solar cell 7 and an optical sensor 8 is used to automatically turn on / off the receiving circuit.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for setting / adjusting time of a wall clock, a calendar and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional wall clock, in order to adjust the time and set the calendar, the wall clock installed at a high place on a wall is purposely removed and adjusted with knobs or buttons on the back or side. It was

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned prior art, the wall clock must be removed from the wall every time adjustments such as time adjustment and calendar setting of the wall clock are made, and the wall clock must be remounted on the wall after the adjustment. Have.

Therefore, the present invention solves such a problem, and an object thereof is to provide a wall clock provided with a remote control device capable of easily performing various adjustments of the wall clock.

[0005]

The wall clock of the present invention is a wall clock mounted on a high place of a wall or a pillar to display the time,
A remote control device is used for time setting of the wall clock, setting and adjustment of a calendar and the like.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a wall clock remote control according to the present invention. Here, when the time adjustment of the wall clock 1 and other adjustments are necessary, the user operates the operation button 3 of the remote control device 2 at hand to adjust the wall clock 1. When the operation button 3 of the remote control device 2 is pressed, a remote control signal is emitted from the transmitter 4 located at the tip of the remote control device 2. The signal is received by the receiving unit 5 of the wall clock 1, and various adjustments are performed via the internal receiving circuit. At this time, if the display unit 6 such as a liquid crystal display panel for displaying the operation content of the remote control device 2 is provided on the remote control device 2, the operation becomes easier.

Since the wall clock 1 having the receiver 5 has a built-in receiver circuit, the current consumption is higher than usual. Therefore, the device has been devised to reduce the current consumption by adopting a low-current-consumption receiving circuit driven by 3V and using the solar cell 7 in combination. Further, by using the optical sensor 8, it is possible to automatically switch the switch so that the reception state is set only when it is bright, and the reception circuit is not driven when the user sleeps at night to save current consumption.

[0009]

As described above, according to the present invention, the remote control device is used for the time adjustment of the wall clock, the calendar and other settings and adjustments, and the wall clock on the receiving side is devised to reduce the current consumption. There is an effect that various adjustments of the wall clock can be easily performed by the user without impairing the basic performance of the conventional product.
