Reference picture 2, on lower plate 1, middle plate 2, hour hand gear 3, minute gear 4, the 2nd point of breast wheel 5 and second hand wheel 6 It is respectively formed with through hole 31~36.These are configured as in the inspection based on optical sensor (position-detection sensor) 9 through hole Location puts place, on the opportunity of regulation, overlaps in the axial direction.There is optical sensor 9 light-emitting component lighted towards test position (to light Diode) 7 and with light-emitting component 7 be oppositely disposed photo detector (photodiode) 8.
When detecting that each finger Needles returns to initial position, minute hand train is according to hour hand gear 3, minute gear 4, Yi Ji 2 points of combinations of breast wheel 5 carry out pointer position detection action, and second hand train only carries out pointer position inspection according to second hand wheel 6 Survey is acted.In the position detection train of minute hand, fastest is the 2nd point of breast wheel 5, most helpful in the detection of minute hand position The input of signal.
In the present embodiment, in the detection of minute hand train, the 2nd point of breast wheel 5 rotates at high speed, in the detection of second hand train In, second hand wheel 6 rotates at high speed, therefore, when there is deviation in the detection of these gears, it is impossible to accurately to carrying out constantly Amendment.In the present embodiment, these gears are configured without on coaxial, also, by by the transmission hole 35 of each gear 5,6, 36 are set to shape described later, it is possible to increase the position of each gear 5,6 at the detection position that each gear 5,6 overlaps each other vertically Accuracy of detection.
In movement MV, second hand wheel 6 and the 2nd point of breast wheel 5 are independently powered structures, but by employing 1 The optical sensor 9 of light-emitting component 7 and photo detector 8 is organized to detect the position of the benchmark between second hand wheel 6 and the 2nd point of breast wheel 5 Put, therefore, quantity and the wiring of optical sensor 9 are reduced, as simple structure, assembly operation is improve, realize into This reduction.
Hereinafter, 5~Fig. 9 of reference picture is illustrated to the transmission hole 35,36 of gear 5,6 and base plate slit 31A.In addition, Base plate is lower plate 1, middle plate 2, and base plate slit 31A is disposed on the transmission hole 31,32 of lower plate 1, the test position of middle plate 2.In addition, The transmission hole 35,36 of gear 5,6 is referred to as gear slit 35,36.Arrow f5, f6 represent the gear 5,6 of initialization action in figure Direction of rotation.In addition, in Figure 5, for the purpose of simplifying the description, gear slit 35,36 is shown respectively 1.
Reference picture 5, gear slit 35,36 is for example in arc-shaped (slit-shaped) along the circumferential direction, and each other across rule Fixed interval is formed with multiple.Gear 5,6 is in light-emitting component 7 and the relative position of photo detector 8 (test position and base plate slit 31A relative position) place, when at least a portion of gear slit 35,36 overlaps each other, from light-emitting component 7 to light-emitting component 8 Through detection light.On the other hand, when at least one of the occlusion part between multiple gear slits 36,36 covers test position, Gear 5,6 blocks the detection light.
In the example of fig. 5, base plate slit 31A starts Chong Die vertically with the gear slit 35,36 of each gear 5,6 The end of side has the line-like area R1 of the straight line L1 at the center along the gear 5,6 for linking axle different from each other.Base plate slit Fan shapes of the 31A for example formed as the circumferencial direction along gear 6.
On the other hand, gear slit 35,36 has point in the end for vertically starting Chong Die side with base plate slit 31A Not along line-like area R5, R6 of radial direction.
That is, as shown in fig. 6, the end for starting Chong Die side with gear slit 35,36 vertically of base plate slit 31A, And the end for starting Chong Die side with base plate slit 31A vertically of gear slit 35,36 have vertically can be mutual Consistent line-like area R1, R5, R6.The radial width (equivalent to slit width) of each line-like area R5, R6 is mutually the same, relatively In these line-like areas, the radial width of base plate slit 31A is identical or slightly larger.
Thus, when the rotation position of each gear of gear 5,6 of axle different from each other and different driving is detected, either In the case where the end of which gear slit 35,36 reaches the end of base plate slit 31A, base plate slit 31A is behind immediately Width according to line-like area R5, R6 of these ends is opened and makes detection light start to pass through quickly, therefore, optical sensor 9 Detection light quantity steeply rise, the detection error of optical sensor 9 can be reduced.
Here, it is also possible to be configured to, base plate slit 31A vertically with the side of the Chong Die end of gear slit 35,36 The 2nd end and the 2nd end vertically with the side of the Chong Die end of base plate slit 31A of gear slit 35,36 have The 2nd line-like area R1B, R5B, R6B that vertically can be consistent with each other.In this case, except the detection of optical sensor 9 is opened Beyond the rising of the detection light quantity during beginning, the decline of the detection light quantity at the end of detection also becomes drastically, can be to optical sensor 9 Detection waveform arranged and further reduced detection error.
Fig. 7, Fig. 8 show the comparative example (conventional example) of present embodiment.
In this example, although base plate slit 311A is formed as the fan shape of the circumferencial direction along gear 6, but with even Formed to the scattered mode in its both sides centered on the straight line L1 at the center for tying gear 5,6.On the other hand, gear slit 35,36 with Foregoing is identical.
That is, as shown in figure 8, the end for starting Chong Die side with gear slit 35,36 vertically of base plate slit 311A Line-like area R11 can be with the wire of the end for starting Chong Die side with base plate slit 31A vertically of gear slit 36 Region R6 is consistent, but with the line-like area of the end for starting Chong Die side with base plate slit 311A vertically of gear slit 35 R5 is inconsistent, also, base plate slit 311A ends line-like area R11 and the end of gear slit 35 line-like area R5 vertically Incline towards each other intersection.This point is last with the 2nd of the side Chong Die with the end of gear slit 35,36 vertically of base plate slit 311A the The 2nd line-like area R11B at end is identical.
Therefore, in the position detection of gear 6, the detection light quantity of optical sensor 9 steeply rises, but in the position of gear 5 In detection, rising is slowed down by making the detection light quantity of optical sensor 9 increase at leisure, for example, make light because voltage declines When the sensitivity of sensor 9 declines, in order to reach the light quantity that optical sensor 9 can be detected, before slit needs to decline than voltage Open greatly, the test position of the gear before declining and after decline deviates.In addition, the shape difference of part is also inclined stopping accuracy The reason for the reason for difference is error detection.In addition, the decline of the detection light quantity at the end of detection also slows down, same class is produced Topic.
(a) of Fig. 9 is shown in the case of the base plate slit 31A and gear slit 35,36 using present embodiment The curve map of the relation between the anglec of rotation of each gear 5,6 and the output level of optical sensor 9, (b) of Fig. 9 is using existing There is (a) identical curve map with Fig. 9 in the case of the base plate slit 311A and gear slit 35,36 of example.
As shown in (b) of Fig. 9, when the gear slit 36 of gear 6 starts to overlap relative to the base plate slit 311A of conventional example Afterwards, the end of their side for starting to overlap has line-like area R11, R6 consistent with each other vertically, therefore, with Fig. 9's A () is identical, the output level of optical sensor 9 steeply rises.On the other hand, when the gear slit 35 of gear 5 is narrow relative to base plate After seam 311A starts to overlap, the end of their side for starting to overlap has the line-like area of the intersection that inclines towards each other vertically R11, R5, therefore, the rising of the output level of optical sensor 9 slows down and detection error is become big.
On the other hand, as shown in (a) of Fig. 9, in the base plate slit 31A and gear slit 35,36 of present embodiment, i.e., The gear slit 35,36 and base plate slit 31A that make any one gear 5,6 starts Chong Die, their side for starting to overlap End also has line-like area R1, R5, R6 consistent with each other vertically, therefore, light can in either case passed The output level of sensor 9 similarly steeply rises.
Figure 10 shows the 1st variation of present embodiment.
In this example, with foregoing base plate slit 311A and gear slit 36.
On the other hand, the end for starting Chong Die side with base plate slit 311A vertically of gear slit 351 does not have Along the line segment of radial direction, and there is line-like area R51, line-like area R51 is in mode consistent with line-like area R11 vertically Incline, line-like area R11 is the area of the end for starting Chong Die side with gear slit 351 vertically of base plate slit 311A Domain.The radial width of each line-like area R51, R6 is mutually the same, and in contrast, the radial width of base plate slit 311A is identical or slightly Greatly.
Thus, the example with Fig. 5 is identical, when the rotation position of gear 5,6 is detected, even if in any one gear slit 351st, in the case that 36 end reaches the end of base plate slit 311A, because base plate slit 311A is last with these immediately after The corresponding width of line-like area R51, R6 at end is opened wide and makes detection light start to pass through quickly, therefore, the detection of optical sensor 9 Light quantity steeply rises, and can reduce the detection error of optical sensor 9.
In addition, the 2nd end of the side Chong Die with the end of gear slit 351,36 vertically of base plate slit 311A and tooth If taking turns the 2nd end for terminating Chong Die side with base plate slit 311A vertically of slit 351,36 with vertically mutual one The 2nd line-like area R11B, R51B, the R6B for causing, the then decline of the detection light quantity at the end of the detection of optical sensor 9 also becomes anxious, energy Enough detection waveforms to optical sensor 9 are arranged and are further reduced detection error.In addition, the 2nd line of base plate slit 311A Shape region R11B is the line segment of the radial direction along gear 6, the 2nd line-like area R51B of gear slit 351 be with vertically with bottom The 2nd line-like area R11B of the plate slit 311A consistent inclined line segment of mode.
Figure 11 shows the 2nd variation of present embodiment.
In this example, with the base plate slit 312A for being for example formed as circle when overlooking.Base plate slit 312A along axle There is the line-like area R12 of circular shape to the end for starting Chong Die side with gear slit 352,362.
On the other hand, the end for starting Chong Die side with the base plate slit 312A vertically tool of gear slit 352,362 There are line-like area R52, R62 of the circular concavity and circular shape along base plate slit 312A.
That is, the end for starting Chong Die side with gear slit 352,362 vertically of base plate slit 312A and gear are narrow The end for starting Chong Die side with base plate slit 312A vertically of seam 352,362 has wire area consistent with each other vertically Domain R12, R52, R62.The radial width of each line-like area R52, R62 is mutually the same, in contrast, the radial direction of base plate slit 312A Width is identical or slightly larger.
Thus, the example with Fig. 5 is identical, when the rotation position of gear 5,6 is detected, even if any one gear slit 352nd, in the case that 362 end reaches the end of base plate slit 312A, due to base plate slit 312A after immediately with these The corresponding width of line-like area R52, R62 of end is opened wide and makes detection light start to pass through quickly, therefore, optical sensor 9 The rising of detection light quantity become anxious, the detection error of optical sensor 9 can be reduced.
In addition, the 2nd end of the side Chong Die with the end of gear slit 352,362 vertically of base plate slit 312A and tooth If taking turns the end for terminating Chong Die side with base plate slit 312A vertically of slit 352,362 with consistent with each other vertically The 2nd line-like area R12B, R52B, R62B, the decline of the detection light quantity at the end of the detection of optical sensor 9 also becomes anxious, can The detection waveform of optical sensor 9 is arranged and is further reduced detection error.In addition, the 2nd wire of base plate slit 312A Region R12B is the curve of circular shape, and the 2nd line-like area R52B, R62B of gear slit 352,362 is along base plate slit The circular concavity and the curve of circular shape of 312A.
In addition, base plate slit 312A is circle of the center on the center line segment of gear 5,6, but if being positive round shape, Can also be configured to deviate from the center line segment of gear 5,6.
Here, as long as the gear slit of each embodiment is with the whole slit width across the end of each gear slit Line-like area, then make base plate slit pass through detection light with across the opening open as big as possible of whole slit width, because This, makes the rising of detection light quantity become anxious, is in this regard preferred.However, the gear slit 352,362 such as Figure 11 The shaping for being difficult to end in the case of, it is also possible to be configured to, make the line-like area of the width narrower than whole slit width End with base plate slit is consistent.
In addition, the invention is not restricted to above-mentioned implementation method, the object of such as position detection can also be the 2nd point of breast wheel 5, Gear beyond second hand wheel 6.It can also be the object of the position detection of the gear of more than 3.Base plate opening and gear opening Shape be not limited to implementation method, can be various.
Also, the structure of above-mentioned implementation method is one of the invention, it is not limited to make in electric wave correcting timepiece certainly With, the structural element of implementation method is replaced with known structural element etc., can not depart from main scope of the invention Carry out various changes.
