Simple and practical, and has low cost.

Description

Timers that can be synchronized to indicate the time in different time zones

The utility model relates to a timer, in particular to a timer capable of synchronously indicating time in different time zones.

A common pointer timer (commonly known as a watch) includes a watch case, a movement, an hour hand, a minute hand, a second hand set on the movement, and a dial with timing numbers printed on it. Ordinary timers can only indicate the time of a certain country or region. In order to facilitate passengers to check the time of each country or the time difference between the departure point and the local area, the walls of some large hotels are full of clocks indicating different times in various countries. It is very inconvenient to have to adjust the watch according to the local time every time one arrives in a country. In order to solve this problem, the watch that can display the time of two different time zones at the same time is only in the original watch, and a small pointer dial is additionally set to indicate the time of another place. The watch is complicated, the cost is doubled, and it can only indicate the time of two countries, so the use effect is limited.

Most of the existing timekeeping devices capable of displaying time in different time zones are complex in structure and bulky, and are difficult to make into small and precise watches, and the investment cost and manufacturing cost are relatively high. In addition, in order to achieve the purpose of adjusting the time zone, its surface must be made into a circle, which not only limits the change of the phenotype, but also the hour hand rotates once in 24 hours, which is not convenient for ordinary people to use when reading. Although the display is clear, it is still necessary to adjust the time zone dial to read the time. Because the time display method is different from ordinary watches, it affects consumers' purchases. Since the watch is designed to accommodate the display characteristics of the time zone, it relatively ignores the usage habits and the convenience of reading time, which is really a fly in the ointment.

The purpose of this utility model is to design a timer that can simultaneously indicate the time in different time zones. The user can directly read the time of other major countries or regions only by taking the time of his location as a benchmark, and the production cost is low and there is no complicated time. The problem of setting adjustments can avoid the difficulties of time difference conversion and inquiry, and facilitate consumers to effectively grasp the standard time and time slots of cities in other time difference regions.

The purpose of this utility model is achieved in this way, the timer that can synchronously indicate the time in different time zones includes a housing, a movement, an hour hand, a minute hand, a second hand arranged on the movement, and a dial with timing numbers printed on it. in:

The hour hand is an hour dial, comprising a light circular sheet with a circular perforation in the center and a pointer arranged on the outer edge of the circular sheet; The radial division line divides the inner ring area and the outer ring area on the surface of the circular disc into time zones that are consistent with the timing numbers printed on the dial. The movement is embedded in the circular ring in the center of the hour dial. In the perforation; the partition line includes the international date line.

The time zone corresponds to a country or a region, the pointer is set on the outer edge of the time zone where the chronograph is used, and the remaining time zones are marked according to the order of the time difference between the time zone and the place where the timer is used.

The numbers printed on the dial are 1 to 12, and the time zones on the outer ring and the inner ring of the hour dial are 12 respectively.

The numbers printed on the dial are 1 to 24, and the time zones on the outer ring and the inner ring of the hour dial are 24 respectively.

The chronograph of the utility model replaces the ordinary pointer-type hour hand with the hour dial, and the dial surface of the hour dial radially separates the inner and outer time zones from the center of the circle, and a pointer protrudes from the outer edge of one of the time zones. The time zone where the pointer is located is marked with the place where the timer is used, and then the remaining time zones are set in order of time difference, and the commonly used countries and regions are marked. The position of the pointer can also be changed according to the place of sale to meet the user's usage habits. Each time zone corresponds to a chronograph number on the dial. The user can use the time of his location as a reference, and can directly divide and The chronograph numbers on the dial read out the current time in other countries and regions. It has the characteristics of simple structure and low production cost, which saves the complicated setting and adjustment process, avoids the inconvenience of time difference conversion and inquiry, and can effectively grasp the standard time and time slot status of cities in other time difference regions.

Fig. 1, the three-dimensional structure diagram of the hour dial of the utility model timer;

Fig. 2. Schematic diagram of the structure of the watch equipped with the hour dial in Fig. 1.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the timer capable of synchronously indicating time in different time zones mainly includes a case 5 , a movement 1 , an hour dial 2 , a minute hand 3 and a second hand 4 .

The hour dial 2 is a lightweight circular piece, and a circular perforation 21 is set at the center thereof for embedding the movement 1 . A pointer 22 protrudes from the outer edge of the hour dial 2, and the inner ring A and the outer ring B of the dial are divided into 12 time zones by radial separation lines from the circular perforation 21 on the disk surface, and one of the separation lines C is used as the international time zone. The date line is used to indicate the difference of one day between the countries or regions marked on the left and right sides based on the international date line. Installing the hour dial 2 on the original watch movement to replace the hour hand can achieve the purpose of synchronously indicating time in different time zones.

FIG. 2 shows an implementation structure in which the hour dial 2 of FIG. 1 is installed on the watch movement 1 . Since each time zone corresponds to a chronograph number on the dial D, the user takes the local time as the reference, such as the Taiwan (TAIWAN) time indicated by the pointer 22 and the minute hand 3 is 3:03, and the time can be read synchronously at this time. The time of leaving Japan (JAPAN) is 4:03, and the time of Thailand (THAILAND) is 2:03, which is direct and convenient, eliminating the inconvenience of time difference conversion and inquiry, and more effective control of time.

The time zone at the pointer 22 place of the hour dial 2 can be adjusted respectively according to the place of sale, so that it is set at the place time zone of the place of sale. If the place of sale is Japan, the position of the pointer 22 can be maintained and all countries are moved upwards for printing in a time zone, so that the pointer 22 forming the hour dial 2 is positioned at the local time in Japan, as shown by the pointer 22' in Figure 2 refer to. If the place of sale is Thailand, it is also possible to maintain the position of the pointer 22 and move all countries down by one time zone, so that the pointer 22 of the hour dial 2 is positioned at the local time in Thailand, as shown in Figure 2 at the pointer 22″ Refers to, so as to meet the needs of local buyers.

The International Date Line IDL shown in Figure 2 is used to separate the left and right countries or regions, and their time difference is a time zone but not the same day. For example, although Samoa (SAMOA) and New Zealand (NEW ZEALAND) are two time zones on the left and right next to the inner A and outer B layers, the dates in the two areas are not the same date, which is for users to distinguish the date.

When the hour dial is applied to a 24-hour watch (equipped with a 24-hour movement), the hour dial can be divided into 24 time zones in a single layer or 48 time zones in a double layer, and the countries marked on the hour dial can be increased.

To sum up, the timer of the present utility model has indeed achieved the design purpose of simple structure, low cost, direct reading, and synchronous indication of time in different countries and regions.
