Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve alarming effect by constituting a timepiece main body part and an alarming stop switch part separably and allowing an alarming stop switch to be placed at distance. CONSTITUTION:The timepiece main body part 9 equipped with a timepiece part 1, an alarm sounding body 4, etc., and the alarming stop switch part 10 equipped with an alarm sound stop switch 8 are made separable. Then, said switch part 10 is provided with a modulating circuit 7 which modulates a stop signal into a radio wave for light signal and the timepiece main body part 9 is provided with a demodulating circuit 6 which receives a stop signal transmitted by the switch part 10. Consequently, the switch part 10 is put sufficiently away from the timepiece main body 9, so the alarming effect is improved.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention 3. Detailed Description of the Invention Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an alarm clock that emits an alarm sound at a set time.

2. Description of the Related Art Alarm clocks have conventionally been used to notify the time by emitting an alarm at a preset time, and are used to prevent oversleeping. Hereinafter, a conventional alarm clock will be explained with reference to FIG.

FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a conventional alarm clock. In FIG. 2, numeral 1 is a clock section for measuring time, and numeral 2 is a time setting section for setting the time at which an alarm sound is to be emitted. Reference numeral 3 denotes a time coincidence detection circuit that detects that the time of the clock section 1 and the time set by the time setting section 2 match and generates a time coincidence signal. Reference numeral 5 drives the alarm sounding element 4 to generate an alarm sound by applying a time coincidence signal outputted from the time coincidence detection circuit 3, and causes the alarm sounding element 4 to generate an alarm sound by applying a stop signal outputted from the alarm sound stop switch 8. This is an alarm sound control unit that stops the alarm sound.

In the above configuration, first, a desired time is set by the time setting section 2. Thereafter, the clock section 1 ticks the time, and eventually the time coincides with the time set by the time setting section 2, and the time coincidence detection circuit 3 operates and outputs a time coincidence signal. In response to this time coincidence signal, the alarm sound control section 5 operates the good news sounding unit 4 to emit an alarm sound. In order to stop this alarm sound, all you have to do is to activate the 3rd alarm stop switch 8. By activating it, a stop signal is applied to the power alarm sound control section 5. This stop signal causes the alarm sound to stop. .

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above configuration, the conventional alarm sounding element and the alarm sound stop switch are housed in the same housing;
When an alarm sound is emitted by the alarm sounding body, the alarm sound can be easily stopped due to reflexes or habit even when the user is not fully awake, and the alarm clock does not fulfill its original function of waking up. was a problem for many.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an alarm clock that can surely wake up the user.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve this object, the alarm clock of the present invention has a structure in which the alarm clock main body having the alarm sounding body and the alarm sound stop switch are separable, so that the alarm sound cannot be emitted. The stop signal applied to the stop switch and the alarm sound control is converted into radio waves or light and is applied to the intangible parts of the watch.

Function: With this configuration, the alarm sounding body and the alarm sound stop switch can be separated by a necessary and sufficient distance, and the alarm sound can be stopped only by standing up completely and operating the alarm sound stop switch placed far away. It becomes possible to make it impossible to do so, and a reliable wake-up effect can be increased.

EXAMPLE A practical example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an alarm clock in a practical example of invention. 2 in FIG. 1, the same constituent blocks as in FIG. 2 are given the same reference numerals.

7 is a modulation circuit that modulates the stop signal output by the alarm sound stop switch 8 into radio waves, and is housed together with the alarm sound stop switch 8 in a casing 1Q separated from the watch main body 9 containing the alarm sounding body 4. has been done. 6 is a demodulation circuit that returns the electromagnetic waves outputted from the modulation circuit 7 to a normal electrical signal, and this electrical signal is applied to the alarm sound control section 5.

The operation of the alarm clock configured as described above will be explained below.

First, a desired time is set in the time setting section 2, and eventually the time on the clock section 1 coincides with the set time, and the time coincidence detection circuit 3
is activated and a time coincidence signal is applied to the alarm sound control section 5. Upon application of this time coincidence signal, the alarm sound controller 5 operates the alarm sounding unit 4 to emit an alarm sound. In conjunction with the above operation, the demodulation circuit 6 starts operating and prepares to receive radio waves.

And an alarm sound stop switch 8 to stop the alarm sound
When activated, a stop signal is applied from the alarm sound stop switch 8 to the modulation circuit 7, and this stop signal is modulated into radio waves by the modulation circuit. Furthermore, this radio wave propagates through space and is demodulated into a normal electrical signal by a demodulation circuit 6, and the alarm sound control section 5 receives this electrical signal and stops the alarm sound generated by the alarm sounding body 4. At this time, the time coincidence signal is canceled and the demodulation circuit 6 also stops its function.

In actual use, for example, the alarm clock body is placed next to the bedside, and the alarm sound stop switch is placed far away from the bedside. When I set the time and go to sleep, the alarm sounds at the set time, but since there is no alarm stop switch at my bedside, I have to get up, go to a place far away from my bedside, and activate the alarm stop switch. It would be impossible to stop the alarm sound.

In this embodiment, the alarm sound stop signal is modulated into radio waves, but light may also be modulated.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the alarm clock of the present invention modulates the alarm sound stop signal into radio waves or light, thereby separating the alarm clock main body and the alarm sound stop switch. The original function of an alarm clock, which is to wake up the dog, can be expected with certainty, and its practical effects are unique to dogs.
