Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a timer clock device that combines a guideline clock configuration and a timer configuration to configure a new timer function in addition to the normal guideline function and timer function. A timer-equipped clock device that combines a timer structure has been devised, giving rise to the advantage that two functions can be utilized in one clock device.

In other words, the conventional timer-equipped timetable device is a clock configuration that appropriately decelerates the rotation of the motor of the reference rotation source, displays the time, and generates a reference output from the 1" hit point at the set time to perform the reference operation. Then, by rotating the timer set display board in the set direction, the motor as the reference rotation source is operated, and by decelerating the rotation of the motor to an appropriate position and rotating the timer set display board in the non-set direction, the timer set display board is opened. A timer component is combined with a timer component that starts a timer operation, generates a timer output from a timer contact after a set time has elapsed, and performs a timer operation. This timer equipped time setting device can be used as a 1-1 alarm clock at the time Bl' (44 component), while the timer (14 component can be used to notify bath boiling time, sashimi moe time notification, etc.) can be used.

The present invention enables the use of a new timer function by controlling the state in which the timer function in the conventional timer-equipped time opening device is controlled by the clock component operation and the state in which independent operation is possible by separating and combining the image configurations. This is what I did.

A characteristic configuration of the present invention is that, in a timer-equipped timepiece device having a clock component and a timer component, the clock component and the timer component can be separated and combined, and the image components are electrically connected when combined. A timer function switching circuit that prohibits operation when the contact inch is inoperable, and allows independent operation without restricting the timing operation of the timer component when the contact is separated and the contact is non-conductive without being restricted by the operation of the switch. The reason lies in the fact that it has been constructed.

In addition, in the present invention, when both components (11q and 11q) are connected and the junction contact is in a conductive state, the time counting operation of the timer t14 component is prohibited when the noise stop switch is operated in an inoperable state,
Furthermore, the timer operation is operated as soon as the timer output is generated from the time the timekeeping operation starts, and on the other hand, when separated and the junction contact is non-conductive, the timekeeping operation of the timer component is not restricted by the operation of the stop switch and is independent. A timer function switching circuit may be configured in which the timer function is enabled and the timer operation is performed after the timer output is generated.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below based on the drawings.

The clock component 4 includes a reference signal generator 8 using a crystal oscillator or the like.
The high-precision reference signal of
Hz pulses are supplied to the motor 14Vc to rotate the motor 14. The rotation of the motor 14 is appropriately decelerated by the clock train 16, and the time is displayed on the minute and second display side.The reference contact 20 is set by the user. This is for generating a reference output at the time, for example, by controlling the closing of the contact plate based on the cam displacement in the reference cam mechanism consisting of the hour hand wheel and the reference wheel of the clock train 16, and adjusting the output R to r. Generate the I-I J signal for about 20 minutes.This output IN is connected to the noise stop switch 22.

The output S of the ant game 1.24 is supplied to the AND gate 26 together with a constant periodic signal (for example, 20481■z) φ from the frequency dividing circuit 10, and the output T of this AND gate 26 is supplied to the notification circuit 28. Therefore, when the ring stop switch 22 is in the closed state and a reference output is generated from the reference contact 20 at the output R, the reference operation is started and an alarm sound is notified from the notification circuit 28.

Timer function selector switch 30, 11,
component part 4 and timer component part 6. The switch 710 is a control switch that allows the timer to operate regardless of the operation state of the ring stop switch 22 even when combined with the switch 30.
The output is supplied together with the output A of the ring stop switch 22 to an OR gate 34 in the timer function switching circuit 32.

The output B of the OR gate 34 is supplied to a junction contact 36 for supplying the output of the two switches 22 or 30 to the timer component 6, which junction contact 36 connects both lateral parts 4 and 6 to each other. Conductivity occurs when they are combined like this. Furthermore, the timer function switching circuit 32 outputs a signal of "I(").
- A junction contact 38 similar to the junction 774 point 36 described above is supplied with il1.

On the other hand, the timer component 6 includes a reference signal generator 391 and a frequency dividing circuit 40, similar to the clock component 4. It includes a waveform shaping circuit 41 and a motor 42, and the rotation of the motor 42 is appropriately decelerated by a timer wheel train 44 to rotate a timer display plate 46 in a non-center direction. The rotational operation of this motor 42 is controlled by a timer contact 48, and a timer display plate 46' (i
When rotated in the 1-7 note direction, the output becomes 1-H'', the -C motor 42 operates, and the timing operation begins. In other words, the output is sent to the computer 1 via the multiplexer 50.
- 52, and the output pulse of the waveform shaping circuit 40 is controlled by the analogue 1.52.

In this embodiment, a melody signal is provided at the moment when a timer output is generated after the timekeeping operation is started, and a melody signal generation circuit 54 is provided. The melody signal generation circuit 54 includes an address counter 56. Melody ROM
58 and a DA converter 60, and when the output E of the timer contact 48 is "H", a melody signal is generated at the output M and supplied to the notification circuit 62. When the address counter 56 receives the signal "■(") to its reset terminal R, it counts the constant period signal φa from the frequency dividing circuit 40 and reads out the encoded signal from the melody ROM 58.The read encoded signal is subjected to processing such as decoding and interpolation in the D-A converter 60, and a melody signal converted to an analog signal is generated at the output M and is notified from the notification circuit 62. has multiplexer 64
The output E of the timer contact 48 is supplied via. This output E generates a signal of "1 (") when the timer time reaches 10 seconds and ends the time measurement, and after the timer time elapses and i74, a signal of "L" is output as a timer output. In the embodiment, the volume of the melody is lowered based on the timekeeping operation, and a voltage control circuit 66 is provided that lowers the power supply voltage supplied to the notification circuit 62 based on the timekeeping operation. IHi!□ power is supplied to the notification circuit 62 via a voltage control circuit 66 which is a parallel circuit consisting of P-MOS transistors (hereinafter referred to as l-transistors) 68-72 and resistors 74-80/-). According to this, when all of the transistors 68 to 72 are in the on state, the combined resistance of the parallel circuit is low, and therefore a relatively high voltage is supplied to the notification circuit 62, but each time the transistors 68 to 72 are in the off state. The combined resistance becomes higher, and therefore the voltage supplied to the notification circuit 62 becomes lower. As a result, since four levels of voltage are supplied to the notification circuit 62, the volume of the melody sound also decreases in four levels.

Then, the outputs N, O and P are supplied from the t-1 timer contact 48 to the transistors 68 to 720, respectively, and the outputs N, O and P become 11J.
1. Ranjistaro 8.70 and 72 are turned off.

The outputs N, O, and R of timer lever point 48 are "JII" when the remaining time of the timer is "40 minutes or less" and "20 minutes or less," respectively.
The settings are 1 minute or less and 10 minutes or less. The above-mentioned timer contact 48 is obtained by a well-known timer contact (11) consisting of a movable contact arranged on the back side of the timer display plate 46 and a fixed contact that slides on the movable contact.

Timer function switching circuit 82 provided in the timer component 6
are multiplexers 50 and 64. ANDGATE 84 and 86. Furthermore, it is composed of an or gate 88.

Multiplexers 50 and 64 connect output switching control terminal A to
When rHJ is supplied, input terminal X4 and output terminal Xo are connected, and when rHJ is supplied, input terminal X2 and output terminal
, ;Child X. Output switching control terminal A
is supplied with the output C of the OR gate 88. One input end of this OAGOO 1-8i, 1NI is connected to ground,
The other input end is connected to the aforementioned joining contact 38. Therefore, it can be seen that if the input terminal 114 forming part 4 and the timer forming part 6 are combined, the output C becomes "■(", and if they are separated, the output C becomes rLJ.Then, the multiplexer 50 connects the output of the timer contact 48 to the input terminal X1. The output of the VC junction contact 36 is supplied to the child X2 and the ant game.
1 and 84 outputs F, respectively, and output terminal X. The output G of is supplied to the Antogame 1.52. Further, the multiplexer 64 supplies the output E of the timer contact 48 to the input terminal X1, the output 11 of the ant game 1.86 to which the output of the junction contact 36 is supplied together with the output E to the input terminal X2, and The output signal is supplied to the reset pin R of the address counter 56. , The characteristic operation of this embodiment will be explained below.

First, in the coupled state, r/i, time chart 1 in FIG.
To explain based on .., the output C is always "■1" because it is in a coupled state, and the input terminal X2 and the output terminal X of the multiplexers 50 and 64. and is leading 'l1i1. In the initial state, l! :S 11-1 switch 22 and timer function changeover switch 30 are open, timer display board 46 is in the non-set state as shown in FIG. 4(a), and outputs F and 11 are both [LJ]. . Then, at time 1+, rotate the timer display board 46 in the setting direction to the state shown in Fig. 4 (b) (timer time set to 30 minutes).
When this is done, the output and E become "1" and the timer time is set. However, since the output B is still at "L", the outputs F and I (maintain "L". Therefore, the outputs G and L also maintain r L J, and here V is used for training operation and Noroty notification operation is not performed. Output N
becomes r Hj (・Ranjistaro 8 is in the off state.

At time t2, for example, when the ring stop switch 22 is closed, the output B becomes "H", and the outputs F and H become r.
Become HJ. As a result, from time t2, the outputs G and L are r
I-IJ, and the old time operation and nolodi notification operation are started. Since the transistor 68 is in the off state here, the melody sound is broadcast at level 3. As for the time, the timer display board 46 shows that it has become 1 as shown in FIG. , the merotin? is lowered to level 2 and notified.Furthermore, at time L4, the timer failure indicator 46 indicates that it has reached h as shown in figure 4 (d), and here the output P is also rIF-
IJ, and the transistor 72 is turned off. Therefore, from time t4, the melody sound is lowered to level 1 and is notified. At time L5, the timer time has ended, and the timer display board 46 is in the state shown in FIG. 4(E). Here, the timer output is generated at output E and rL
J, the outputs H and L become [L-1 and the melody notification operation is stopped, but the output ■) and G remain at "1", and the timer table; Continue. Note that the outputs N, O, and ■] become 0, which becomes II, J, and 1 minute 441 from time t5! degree has passed and time L
6, the timer display board 46 goes out and returns to the non-set state shown in FIG. do. After that, at time t7...) J Ij t, l '7
When the y output is generated, the output S becomes t-I-I j, so the 11 safety operation is started, and the output TIfC generates an alarm signal, and the alarm circuit 28 notifies the user of allanno and sound.
At time t8 of ``11'', the ring stop switch 22 is opened, and the reference operation is stopped and the initial state is restored.

Note that here, the melody sound is announced until the end of the timer time measurement, but the melody notification operation and the alarm sound can be changed by opening the ring stop switch 22 or forcibly setting the timer display board 46 to the non-set state. It is also possible to stop the timing operation. Furthermore, it is clear that if the timer function changeover switch 30 is closed, the timekeeping operation and melody notification operation can be performed regardless of the operating state of the ring stop switch 22.

When image configurations 4 and 6 are used in a combined state in this way, if you perform the above operation just before going to bed, the melody will be broadcast for the desired time, and you can confirm that the target operation is enabled. In addition to this effect, the melody can also induce drowsiness in the user, and it is possible to provide the user with a comfortable sleep and a comfortable awakening with one clock device.

Next, the case where the timer component 6 is used separately will be explained using the time chart of FIG. 6.

In the separated state, just by setting the timer time, the timer starts measuring operation like a normal timer function. That is, the output C is always "L", and the multiplexers 50 and 6
4 is input terminal X1 and output terminal X.

There is continuity between the two. Therefore, when the timer time is set at time tl as shown in FIG. 4 (b), the outputs G and L immediately become rJ (J, and the timekeeping operation and melody notification operation are started. The following is a combined state. The timer display board 46 is in the state shown in FIG. 4(C) at time t2 and in FIG. 4(D) at time L3, and the melody sound is lowered to level 2 and level 1, respectively. Then, at time L4, when the timer display board 46 is in the state shown in FIG.
After a certain amount of time has elapsed, at time t, the timer display board 46 enters the state shown in FIG. 4(a), and the timekeeping operation also stops.

In this way, if the timer component 6 is not used separately, it can be operated in the same way as a normal timer function, and furthermore, since the melody sound is notified during the period when the timer time is being counted, the melody sound It also has the effect of being able to control the passage of time to a certain extent.

As described above, in this embodiment, the clock component 4 and the timer component 6 can be used to control whether the timer function is used independently or if the timer function is restricted by the operation state of the ring stop switch 22 of the clock component 4. It can be controlled by separating or combining them, and it is possible to use the melody sound as a timer operation not only as a mere timekeeping operation sound but also as a sleeve sound.

Next, regarding the second embodiment of the present invention, h;a is concerned.

The second embodiment is shown in the circuit block diagram of FIG. 2, and since the basic configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, the same members are given the same reference numerals and the explanation thereof will be omitted.

The difference from the first embodiment is that the timer operation is performed in the timer component 6 after the timer output is generated.
A timer function switching circuit 92 is provided in which the input signals of the input terminals XI and X2 of the multiplexer 64 constructed in the timer function switching circuit 82 in the first embodiment are changed. Specifically, the input terminal X of the multiplexer 64 is supplied with the output J of an AND gate 94 that is supplied with the output of the timer contact 48 and the inverted output E, and the input terminal X2 is supplied with the output that is inverted by one. The output of AND gate 96 is supplied with the output from E and junction contact 36.

and output terminal X. The output from the frequency dividing circuit 40 is supplied to the AND gate 90 together with a constant periodic signal (for example, 2048 Hz) φ2. The output Q of this ant game) 90 is supplied to the notification circuit 62, and when the output becomes "H", a timer notification signal is generated at the output Q, and the notification circuit 62 immediately reports the timer notification) η. . Since a constant power supply voltage is supplied to the timer notification circuit 62, the volume of the timer notification sound does not change.

The coupled state will be explained using time channels ~+---l in FIG. 8. Similarly to the first embodiment, when the ring +1-1 switch 22 and the timer function changeover switch 30 are in the open state, the timer time is Even if it is set as shown in FIG. 4(b), no timing operation is performed (time t1).

When the ring stop switch 22 is closed at time t2, the outputs F and G become rHJ and the timekeeping operation is started. This means that the output C is r HJ and therefore in the multiplexers 50 and 64 the input terminal X2 and the output terminal X. This is because they are electrically connected. Then, at time L3 when the timer time ends, and the timer display board 46 becomes in the state shown in FIG. 4 (e), the output E becomes rL.
J, and as a result, the output I becomes "I(". Therefore, the output becomes rHJ, a timer notification signal is generated at the output Q, and the notification circuit 62 reports a timer notification sound.

This notification sound continues at time t41: about one minute after the timer display board 46 returns to the state shown in FIG. 4(a).

This is because at time t4, the output becomes "L", and as a result, the outputs - and L also become l-LJ.

At the same time, the outputs F and G also become rLJ, and the timekeeping operation is stopped. Thereafter, at time L5, a standard output is generated at the output R, the standard operation is started, and an alarm sound is notified from the notification circuit 28, and at time LI], the ring stop switch 2
If 2 is opened, the alarm sound stops and the timer's timing operation is prohibited.

In this combined state, the alarm time can be set as the final target time, and the intermediate time table can be set as the timer time. For example, if you have to do tithing until late at night, it is troublesome to manage break times, etc., and you are often unable to do what you have planned. Set as all alarm times 1~
, if you set the timer to 117 times to take a nap, for example, you can use the timer to take a nap for 117 minutes.
All that is required is to close the mesh opening 22. This (C
After the timer time has elapsed, the notification sound will be heard at t14.
I can wake up from a nap. And I woke up.
) can continue work immediately without having to think about what time to wake up the next morning, and even at the end of work, one can go straight to sleep without having to think about what time to wake up the next morning. You can take it.

That is, in this example, the time to take a nap and the time to wake up the next morning can be managed by only turning the ring stop switch 22 once. In this embodiment, since the timekeeping operation can be temporarily prohibited, it is also possible to manage the total rest time.

On the other hand, in the separated state, it operates exactly the same as a normal timer.
FIG. 9 shows its operation. That is, when the timer time is set at time t as shown in FIG. 4 (b), the output and G become rHJ and the timing operation is immediately started. Here the output C is "I," so the multiplexer 50
and 64, an input terminal X, and an output terminal X. This is because they are electrically connected. When the timer display plate 46 becomes the state shown in FIG. 4 (E) at time L2 when the timer time measurement ends, the output E becomes II and J due to the generation of the timer output, thereby causing the output J to become rJ. . Therefore, the output is r
I4 J, and the notification circuit 62 issues a timer notification sound. This notification sound occurs at 11! approximately one minute after the timer display board 46 returns to the state shown in FIG. 4(a)! It continues in i increments and t3 increments. That is, at time t3, the output becomes "L",
As a result, the outputs J and L and rLJ and G become "L", and the operation at 3V is stopped.

As described above, in this embodiment as well, when the timer function is used independently as a normal timer, and when the timer function is used independently as a normal timer, the time case, all clock components 4, and timer I'!'i b!j
The timer notification sound as a timer operation can be controlled by separating or combining the timer unit 6 with the timer unit 11. It can be used not only as a one-time elapsed sound, but also as an intermediate check in an alarm sound notification.

Next, a description will be given of a third embodiment of the present invention.

The third actual flag example is a further improvement of the first embodiment, and in the combined state, the merohui notification operation as a timer operation is performed from the timer output /l from the start of the old operation.11. 'i' z
On the other hand, in the separated state, melody notification 1'1
A timer function cut-off 46% circuit 98 is provided that operates after the timer output is generated. In addition, the timer (ri 1su thin slice 1f)
,d! Since the components other than the circuit 98 are the same as those in the first embodiment, only the timer function switching circuit 98 is shown in FIG.

The timer function switching circuit 98 is constructed by simply supplying the output K of the AND gate 100 to which the output and the inverted output E are supplied to the input terminal X1 of the sensor 64 in the first embodiment.

In the coupled state, the output C becomes "1" and the input terminals X2 and output terminals XO of the multiplexers 50 and 64 are electrically connected. Therefore, since the operation in this state is exactly the same as the operation in the coupled state of the first embodiment, the explanation will be omitted.

On the other hand, in the separated state, the output C becomes "T," and the input terminal X1 of the multiplexers 50 and 64 and the output terminal
. This will be explained below using the quimchard shown in FIG. 11. At time L1, when the timer time is increased by seven times as shown in Figure 4 (b), the output and E become "11",
As a result, the output G also becomes rHJ. But if the output
Since it remains at "L", the output also remains at "L". Therefore, at time t1, only the timekeeping operation is started, and unlike the first embodiment, the melody notification operation is not performed. Then, at time t2 when the timer time measurement ends, the timer display board 46 becomes the state shown in FIG. Ru.

Therefore, the output signal r I-I J is generated, and a melody signal is generated at the output M, and the notification circuit 62 reports a melody sound. Note that here, since the outputs N, O, and P of the timer contact 48 are "L", the transistors 68 to 72 are in the on state, and therefore the melody sound is announced at level 4.

This noise notification sound is emitted by the timer display board 46 as shown in Fig. 4 (
The process continues at time t3t, which is about one minute after the state of b) is reached.

That is, at time t3, the output becomes ``L-1'', which causes the outputs K and L to also become ``L'', and at the same time, the outputs F and G also become F-1, J, and the timekeeping operation starts. will be stopped.

In this case, when the timer l'3 is used independently, and when the IHr↓+)+ and I switch 22 of the clock component 4 are operated, In the case of limiting -t, y1 + '', it is possible to control the acid structure unit 4 and the timer component unit 6 by molecule 'ill' or by combining them. When it is compatible, a melody notification operation can be performed as a timer operation at 1υ1, and one timer-equipped clock device 2 can be used in various situations.

Note that in the actual M14 example described above, melody notification and timer notification were used as the timer operations, but other timer operations, such as devices that control the power on and off of electrical equipment such as radios and televisions, may also be used. A similar effect can be obtained even if it is provided.

As explained above, the present invention is configured so that the 14 components and the timer component can be separated and combined, and when the image configuration is completely separated, the timer function of the timer component can operate completely independently. - By prohibiting the timer function when operating the ring-stop switch of the clock component when it is in the operable state, when the timer R, 7 acid part is used as a normal timer function, and when it is used as a sleeve function, intermediate As a new timer function such as a check function, both cases and cases where it is used as
It can be controlled by separating and combining 111 components,
It is a dog of extremely practical value.
