Description

  The present invention relates to an analog electronic timepiece that displays time using a plurality of hands.

  Conventionally, a plurality of hands such as an hour hand, a minute hand, and a second hand are rotationally moved by a stepping motor through a gear train mechanism or in conjunction with each other, and an analog electronic that displays time by a combination of positions indicated by the hands There is a clock. In analog electronic timepieces, the hour hand and minute hand often point to different positions in finer steps, for example, 2 minutes and 10 seconds, respectively, as well as the actual hour and minute.

  In an analog electronic timepiece, when the user manually changes the display time such as the current time or the alarm set time, the user can rotate the button operation to change the current time or the current alarm set time. The pointer is moved from a position indicating the time to a position indicating another time. Such an analog electronic timepiece has a function of continuously fast-forwarding the hands by rotating a predetermined button operation crown. This fast-forward operation is stopped by a predetermined stop operation by the user.

  On the other hand, some analog timepieces having an alarm notification function have been provided with a reference mechanism that uses a single reference hand and performs a notification operation at an alarm time corresponding to the position of the reference hand. In Patent Document 1, when inspecting this notification operation, each pointer representing the time is moved forward to several seconds before the alarm time set by the reference hand, and then moved to a normal operation speed to move the pointer. Thus, a technique for inspecting the difference between the pointer position and the timing of the notification operation is disclosed. Further, in Patent Document 2, when a needle is fast-forwarded to a predetermined reference position, a position detection mechanism using a reference needle is set in the vicinity of the reference position and the needle is fast-forwarded to the position. There is disclosed a technique for handling a mechanical error of a set time by a reference hand by manually operating to a position.

  However, in the analog electronic timepiece, when the user corrects the time and sets the alarm time, if the user tries to move the pointer to a desired position by continuous fast-forwarding, the user Fast forward must be stopped at the appropriate position. At this time, it takes time to fast-forward the pointer operating in fine steps. In other words, in an analog timepiece that can move a plurality of hands independently, the user needs to check the position of the hand over a plurality of times, and in an analog timepiece in which a plurality of hands move together, In addition, there is a problem that a burden is imposed on the user because the confirmation work for a longer time is required according to the display step of the pointer in the minimum time unit.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an analog electronic timepiece that can reduce a user's burden when a user moves a plurality of hands quickly to a position indicating a desired time.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention

A small window 8 is provided in the 4 o'clock direction of the dial 7. A date wheel 5 is disposed behind the dial 7 in parallel with the dial 7. The date dial 5 is a rotating disk that is arranged to be rotatable around the same rotation axis as the hands 2 to 4. On the surface of the date indicator 5, signs 1 to 31 indicating dates are provided in a ring shape, and any of the signs is selectively exposed from the small window 8. The small window 8 may be an opening as long as the exposed sign can be distinguished, and may be covered with a transparent member such as glass or acrylic.
On the side surface of the casing 6, push buttons B <b> 1 and B <b> 2 and a crown C <b> 1 are provided through the inside and the outside of the casing 6.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the internal configuration of the analog electronic timepiece 1 of the present embodiment.

  The analog electronic timepiece 1 includes a train wheel mechanism 32, 33, 35, a stepping motor 42 that rotates the hour hand 2 through the train wheel mechanism 32, a train wheel mechanism 33, and the minute hand 3 through the train wheel mechanism 33. And a stepping motor 43 that rotates the second hand 4 in conjunction with each other, a stepping motor 45 that rotates the date wheel 5 via the wheel train mechanism 35, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 46 (set time acquisition means), A ROM (Read Only Memory) 47, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 48, a drive circuit 49, a power supply unit 50, an oscillation circuit 51, a frequency dividing circuit 52, a timer circuit 53, and an operation unit 54 (operation means) ), A piezoelectric element 56 (piezoelectric element), a driver 55 for driving the piezoelectric element, and the like.

  The CPU 46 performs various arithmetic processes and controls and controls the overall operation of the analog electronic timepiece 1. Further, the CPU 46 outputs a command for moving the hands 2 to 4 and the date indicator 5 to the drive circuit 49 at appropriate timings to be described later.

The RAM 48 provides a working memory space to the CPU 46 and stores various temporary data.
The ROM 47 stores various programs executed by the CPU 46 and initial setting data of the various programs. These various programs and initial setting data are read out by the CPU 46 when the analog electronic timepiece 1 is started up or at any time as necessary, developed on the RAM 48, and executed and used.
The ROM 47 may be various non-volatile memories such as a rewritable flash memory and an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory), or may be both a ROM and a non-volatile memory.

The drive circuit 49 is set to each of the stepping motors 42, 43, 45 at appropriate timings based on control signals including a hand movement command for the hands 2 to 4 and a rotation movement command for the date indicator 5 input from the CPU 46. A drive pulse (drive control signal) having the same voltage and pulse width is output.
The CPU 46 and the drive circuit 49 constitute first time change control means, second time change control means, third time change control means, and fast-forward control means.

  The power supply unit 50 supplies power necessary for the operation to the CPU 46. The power supply unit 50 is not particularly limited. For example, a combination of a solar battery and a secondary battery enables long-term and stable power supply. The power supply unit 50 supplies power to the other units via the CPU 46 or directly by a circuit (not shown).

  The oscillation circuit 51 generates a predetermined frequency signal and outputs it to the frequency dividing circuit 52. The frequency divider 52 divides the frequency signal input from the oscillation circuit 51, generates a signal having a frequency set by a control signal from the CPU 46, and outputs the signal to the CPU 46. Further, the frequency dividing circuit 52 generates a predetermined frequency signal (for example, 1 second signal) and outputs it to the time measuring circuit 53. The timer circuit 53 is a counter that counts the time by counting the input frequency signal.

  The piezo element 56 generates a buzzer sound when a predetermined voltage signal is input from the driver 55. The driver 55 outputs a voltage signal for outputting a buzzer sound from the piezo element 56 based on the control signal input from the CPU 46. In the analog electronic timepiece 1, this buzzer sound is used for an alarm function, for example, and can generate a buzzer sound at a set time. The configuration related to the alarm notification operation is not limited to the piezo element. For example, what notifies by vibration using a vibration motor, and what combined several alerting | reporting operation | movement may be used.

  The stepping motors 42, 43, and 45 (driving means) are step-driven based on the voltage waveform of the driving pulse input from the driving circuit 49, respectively, so that the hour hand 2, the second hand 4, and the date indicator 5 are rotated in the forward direction. Alternatively, it can be rotated by a predetermined angle in the reverse direction. Here, the minute hand 3 is moved in conjunction with the second hand 4 via the wheel train mechanism 33. In the analog electronic timepiece 1 of the present embodiment, the second hand 4 is moved at a rotation (unit angle) of 6 degrees per step, and every time the second hand 4 is rotated by 10 steps and 60 degrees, the minute hand 3 is moved by one rotation of 1 step. It becomes the composition which is done. The hour hand 2 is rotated once per step and is moved independently of the second hand 4 and the minute hand 3. That is, the hour hand 2 indicates the hour value in units of 2 minutes (time unit), the minute hand 3 indicates the value of minutes in units of 10 seconds, and the second hand 4 indicates the value of seconds in units of 1 second. In addition, the date wheel 5 is configured so as to make a round with a movement of 4650 steps, for example, and when the date changes, the movement of 150 steps is performed continuously at a predetermined timing, and the sign exposed from the small window 8 Changes.

  The operation unit 54 receives an external operation by the user. That is, the operation unit 54 detects an input operation, converts it into an electrical signal, and outputs it to the CPU 46 as an input signal. The operation unit 54 includes push buttons B1 and B2 crown C1. In the analog electronic timepiece 1, the indication positions of the hands 2 to 4 and the date wheel 5 by pressing the push buttons B 1 and B 2, pulling and rotating the crown C 1, or a combination of these operations. It is possible to move the position of the sign provided on the surface. Further, the analog electronic timepiece 1 is provided with a set hand when a crown C1 is pulled out (pulled state) and is rotated more than a reference angle (for example, 180 degrees) within a predetermined time. Is provided with a continuous fast-forward function that continuously forward-forwards at a fast-forward speed. This continuous fast-forward is stopped when the crown C1 is rotated by one step in the opposite direction. The user corrects the current time, displays the local time in various parts of the world, or uses the analog electronic timepiece 1 by switching to the alarm time setting or the stopwatch function by an input operation to the operation unit 54. Can do.

Next, the display time correction operation using the analog electronic timepiece 1 of this embodiment will be described.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a control procedure of display time setting processing executed by the CPU 46 in the analog electronic timepiece 1 of the present embodiment.

  In the analog electronic timepiece 1 of the present embodiment, this display time setting process is called and executed as a special mode of the display time changing process that is normally performed. For example, when the crown C1 is pulled out to enter the display time changing process, the display time setting process is called by further pressing the button B2. When the display time setting process is called, the CPU 46 first determines whether or not the rotation operation of the crown C1 has been detected (step S21). If it is determined that the rotation operation is not detected, the processing of the CPU 46 proceeds to the processing of step S24 as it is.

  If it is determined that the rotational movement of the crown C1 has been detected, the CPU 46 then outputs a control signal for rotating the hour hand 2 to the drive circuit 49 in accordance with the detected rotational movement amount. (Step S22). At this time, the CPU 46 calculates the total rotation angle of the crown C1 within a predetermined time. When the total rotation angle is 180 degrees or more, the CPU 46 moves the hour hand 2 at a predetermined moving speed (for example, 64 pps) as usual. (Pulse per second)).

  At the timing when the movement operation of the hour hand 2 is completed, the CPU 46 starts counting the standby time (step S23). Then, the CPU 46 determines whether or not the counted waiting time is equal to or longer than a preset time (step S24). If it is determined that the standby time is less than the set time, the processing of the CPU 46 proceeds to step S29. When it is determined that the standby time is equal to or longer than the set time, the CPU 46 acquires a set time indicated by the position of the hour hand 2 after the movement (step S25). Then, the CPU 46 calculates the minute and second portions of the time difference between the original display time and the acquired set time, and moves the minute hand 3 and the second hand 4 to the minute and second display positions related to the set time. The number of drive pulses output necessary for this is calculated (step S26). The CPU 46 transmits to the drive circuit 49 a control signal that causes the stepping motor 43 to output drive pulses for the number of outputs (step S27).

  When the minute hand 3 and the second hand 4 move to the minute / second position of the set time, the CPU 46 resets the counted standby time (step S28). Then, the process of the CPU 46 proceeds to step S29.

  In the process of step S29, the CPU 46 determines whether or not the pressing operation of the button B2 is detected. If it is determined that it has not been detected, the processing of the CPU 46 proceeds directly to step S31.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the pressing operation of the button B2 is detected, the CPU 46 outputs a driving pulse from the driving circuit 49 to the stepping motor 43 60 times, and moves the second hand 4 on the dial 7 once. Accordingly, the minute hand 3 is moved for 1 minute (step S30). Then, the process of the CPU 46 proceeds to step S31.

  In step S31, the CPU 46 determines whether or not the pulled-in crown C1 is pushed back. If it is determined that the crown C1 has not been pushed back, the processing of the CPU 46 returns to step S21 and repeats the above processing. If it is determined that the crown C1 has been pushed back, the CPU 46 ends the display time setting process.

  4 and 5 show specific examples showing examples of changes in the display state when the display time is changed by the display time setting process described above.

Here, the case where the hands 2 to 4 are moved from the display position at 10: 8: 36 shown in FIG. 1 to the display position at 10: 49: 0 will be described.
First, when the button B2 is pressed while the crown C1 is pulled, the display time setting process is started. When the crown C1 is rotated, the hour hand 2 moves according to the rotation (steps S21 and S22). Here, since the hour hand 2 is set to display at intervals of 2 minutes, it is not possible to directly specify 10:49. Therefore, the user moves the hour hand 2 to a displayable time close to, for example, a position of 10:48 as shown in FIG.

  When the movement of the hour hand 2 to the 10:48 position is completed, the CPU 46 counts the waiting time (step S23). Then, when the set time has elapsed (step S24), the CPU 46 obtains the set time, that is, 10:48 from the position of the hour hand 2, assuming that the alignment of the hour hand 2 is completed (step S25). Further, the number of movement steps is calculated based on the time difference (39 minutes 24 seconds) from the current position (8 minutes 36 seconds) of the minute hand 3 and second hand 4 to the set time (step S26). Since the number of movement steps is equal to the number of seconds of the time difference, here, 39 × 60 + 24 = 2376 steps. When the number of movement steps is calculated, the CPU 46 sends a control signal to the drive circuit 49 to move the second hand 4 and the minute hand 3 in a fast-forward manner (step S27). As a result, the second hand 4 makes 39 laps on the dial 7, and after the minute hand 3 has rotated 234 degrees and reached the position of 10:47:36, the second hand 4 further moves 24 steps, The minute hand 3 moves 3 steps and stops. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4B, the minute hand 3 moves to the 48 minute 0 second position, and the second hand 4 moves to the 0 second position. If the rapid traverse speed of the pointer is 64 pps, the rapid traverse of 2376 steps requires about 37 seconds, but the minute hand 3 and the second hand 4 are automatically stopped at the set position.

  Subsequently, when the button B2 is pressed once (step S29), the time is fast-forwarded for one minute (step S30). That is, the second hand 4 makes one round and the minute hand 3 advances by 6 steps and 1 minute. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5A, the display time becomes 10: 49: 0.

  Finally, as shown in FIG. 5B, the crown C1 is pushed back (step S31), and the display time setting process ends.

  Here, when the user moves the hour hand 2 to the position of 10:46 and fast-forwards the minute hand 3 and the second hand 4, the user may further move the hour hand 2 by one step, or the button B2 May be pressed three times. When the button B2 is pressed twice or more, the position of the corresponding hour hand 2 is also shifted, so every time the button B2 is pressed for the even number of times or when the crown C1 is pushed back. The CPU 46 corrects the position of the hour hand 2.

  As described above, the analog electronic timepiece 1 of this embodiment includes the hands 2 to 4, the drive circuit 49 that rotates these hands via the gear train mechanisms 32 and 33, and the CPU 46. Of the hands 2 to 4, the minute hand 3 and the second hand 4 are driven by a stepping motor 43 in conjunction with each other via a train wheel mechanism 33, and the hour hand 2 is independently driven by a stepping motor 42 via a train wheel mechanism 32. Driven. In this analog electronic timepiece 1, when the button B2 is pressed while the crown C1 is pulled, the special time setting mode is set, and only the hour hand 2 is rotated by the rotation operation of the crown C1, and the user's desired time and minutes are set. It is moved to the indicated position or its vicinity. When a predetermined time elapses while still in this state, the CPU 46 rotates the minute hand 3 and the second hand 4 in conjunction with each other until the time indicated by the hour hand 2 and stops it. Thereafter, the user can accurately move the minute hand 3 and the second hand 4 to a desired time by rotating as necessary. As described above, the movement amount of each of the hands 2 to 4 thereafter by the user can be reduced by automatically moving and stopping at the approximate time using only one hour hand 2.

  Further, since the pointers 2 to 4 are fast-forwarded to the vicinity of the desired position and then automatically stopped, it is not necessary for the user to continue confirmation during fast-forwarding. In addition, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the pointer passes a desired position as a result of neglecting the confirmation during fast-forwarding.

  In addition, after moving the pointers 2 to 4 to the vicinity of the desired position, pressing the button B2 once can automatically advance and advance for another minute, so the time can be adjusted accurately in increments of one minute. Similarly, there is no need to check during fast-forwarding.

  In addition, since the time is adjusted in units of 2 minutes using the hour hand 2 and then the minute hand 3 and the second hand 4 are moved to perform accurate time adjustment, the time and labor required for the first time change can be reduced.

  In particular, in the analog electronic timepiece 1 configured such that the minute hand 3 and the second hand 4 rotate in conjunction with each other, a particularly long time is required for fast-forwarding the minute hand 3, so that a burden on the user due to a confirmation operation during fast-forwarding is increased. Can be reduced.

  Further, since the hour hand 2 indicating the hour value is moved to the vicinity of a desired position before the second hand 4 indicating the second value and the minute hand 3 indicating the minute value, it is necessary to move the hour hand 2 again greatly thereafter. Thus, the user's labor, time and power consumption of the analog electronic timepiece 1 can be saved.

  In particular, since the minute hand 3 and the second hand 4 are fast-forwarded to an approximate position based on the position of the hour hand 2 that is usually used in an analog timepiece, even if the position of the hour hand 2 is set sensibly, the position can be easily reached. The minute hand 3 can be moved.

  In addition, when a predetermined time has elapsed after the hour hand 2 is moved to a desired time and stopped, the fast-forwarding operation of the minute hand 3 and the second hand 4 is automatically started, so that the time adjustment is performed in two stages. Additional processing such as pressing of can be reduced.

  On the other hand, the time required for the movement of the minute hand 3 is similarly set by rotating the hand indicating the value of the smallest display unit (here, the second hand 4) among the hands rotating in conjunction with each other and setting the approximate time. Thus, it is possible to save labor for the user to continuously confirm the fast-forwarding of the pointer.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made.
For example, in the above embodiment, the minute hand 3 and the second hand 4 are fast-forwarded to the set time by the hour hand 2, and then the minute hand 3 is fast-forwarded one minute at a time by pressing the button B2. It is not limited to one minute. For example, it may be 10 seconds or 15 seconds.

  Further, after the minute hand 3 and the second hand 4 are fast-forwarded to the set time by the hour hand 2, for example, the special setting state is canceled by pressing the button B2, and the second hand 4 is moved by one step according to the rotation operation of the crown C1. It is also possible to perform a normal pointer movement operation that moves one second at a time. Alternatively, it may be possible to perform both the 1-minute feed operation and the 1-second feed operation.

  In the above-described embodiment, the time interval that can be set by the hour hand 2 is 2 minutes. However, the hour hand 2 can be rotated and moved by a total of 720 steps in a cycle of 0.5 degrees, so that only the hour hand 2 can be moved. It is also possible to set the time in units of 1 minute. However, even in this case, the user not only sets the time by adjusting the position of the hour hand 2 in units of 0.5 degrees, but also moves the minute hand 3 or the second hand once after the hour hand 2 is moved to near the destination time. By making it possible to move and set 4, it is possible to easily set an accurate time.

  In addition, the configuration in which the minute hand 3 and the second hand 4 rotate in conjunction with each other has been described as an example. However, in the configuration in which the hour hand 2 and the minute hand 3 rotate in conjunction with each other, the approximate time of movement is set using the second hand 4. Or, in an analog electronic timepiece having a 24-hour hand, the destination time may be set using the 24-hour hand.

  In addition, for example, when the second hand 4 and the minute hand 3 rotate in conjunction with each other, and the hour hand 2 and the date indicator 5 rotate in conjunction with each other, one is provided for each group of a plurality of hands. In the case of a configuration in which the pointer moves in conjunction with the stepping motor, it is also possible to set the approximate destination time using a pointer with a high rotation ratio within the group, such as the second hand 4 and the hour hand 2.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the hour hand 2 is not moved for a predetermined time, the position of the hour hand 2 at this time is acquired as the time of the movement destination, but it is determined by the user by pressing the button B2 or by another operation. It is also possible to acquire the destination time when explicitly specified.
In addition, details such as the specific configuration, numerical values, and procedures shown in the above embodiment can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
