る。 Conventionally, in solar cell watches, the solar cell is placed in the center of the dial with a considerable surface area, and in digital displays, the solar cell is placed side by side with the display area of the liquid crystal cell and has approximately the same area. Because of this arrangement, the exterior design gave the watch a heavy feel, making it impossible to provide a solar battery watch to those who wanted a durable type of watch. The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and has the purpose of realizing a solar cell-equipped watch with a simple external design.
以下、腕時計を例にとつて本考案の実施例を図

良くしている。 FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A in FIG. Spacers 2 are alternately arranged between solar cells 1 to form a solar cell block, and the solar cell blocks are bonded to a ring 4. Also, cell 1 is provided every 30 degrees and the dial 9
The appearance is improved by matching the phase with the hour mark.
さて、第１，２図の第１実施例に於いて、太陽
電池１は文字板９上には配置されておらず、見返

る。 Now, in the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the solar cell 1 is not placed on the dial 9, but is located on the facing part (meaning the visible outermost part of the dial), so at first glance The result is a watch with a simple exterior design that is indistinguishable from regular watches.

設けた電力供給部外周切欠である。 FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a solar cell wristwatch showing another embodiment with a solar cell structure different from that of the first embodiment, in which numeral 34 is a thin stainless steel plate, and 31 is a solar cell made of amorphous silicon formed on the thin plate 34. A battery cell, 32 is an electrode section for supplying power to the movement 35, 36 is a dial, 37 is a windshield, 38 is a glass edge, 39 is a body of the case, and 40 is a back cover. 30 is a thin plate 34, a cell 31, an electrode 3
Solar cell blocks that constituted the second class, 35a, 36
a is a cutout on the outer periphery of the power supply section provided in the movement 35 and the dial 36, respectively.

１ａはセル３１の上面の透明電極である。 4 and 5 are a plan view and a cross-sectional view taken along line B--B of the solar cell block 30 of FIG. 3, respectively. An insulating film 34a is uniformly formed on the upper surface of a thin stainless steel plate 34, and electrodes 32 formed by vapor deposition of gold, a wiring pattern 33, and a solar cell 31 formed of amorphous silicon are placed on both sides. Reference numeral 34b indicates a drawer portion 3 that fits into the movement 35 and notches 35a and 36a (Fig. 3) of the dial 36.
1a is a transparent electrode on the upper surface of the cell 31.
この構造でも第１実施例と同様なデザイン向上
作用を有する。尚、大きな薄板にセルブロツク３
０を同時に複数個作成する事も可能である。即

出来、加工時は平担な状態でかまわないからであ
る。 This structure also has the same design improvement effect as the first embodiment. In addition, cell block 3 is attached to a large thin plate.
It is also possible to create multiple 0's at the same time. That is, since the flat solar cell block 30 is also thin, it can be wrapped around the inside of the glass edge 38 when assembling the watch, and can be kept flat during processing.
さらにセル面積が少し小さくなるので電力供給
出来るか検討してみると、一般の男特腕時計サイ
ズで12枚のセルを設置すると、１枚あたり５mm2の
セルとなるが、セルは500ルツクスで0.4〓A／１
mm2の電流が取り出せるから、２〓Aの電流を得ら
れる。６枚ずつ並列に使えば４〓Aの電流が得ら
れる。腕時計の消費電流は大体１〓Aであるか
ら、500ルツクスの明るさでも二次電池に蓄電す
る事が出来る。 Furthermore, since the cell area will be a little smaller, we will consider whether it is possible to supply power.If we install 12 cells of the size of an ordinary men's watch, each cell will be 5mm2 , but the cell area will be 500 lux and 0.4 〓 A /1
Since a current of mm 2 can be extracted, a current of 2〓 A can be obtained. If six of them are used in parallel, a current of 4 A can be obtained. Since the current consumption of a wristwatch is approximately 1 A , it is possible to store electricity in a secondary battery even at a brightness of 500 lux.
又、本考案は腕時計ばかりでなく置時計や掛時
計等の大きな時計にも応用できるとともに、文字
板と指針による指針表示式時計以外の液晶セルを
使用したデジタル表示式時計でも、液晶セルによ

応用出来る効果を有する。 As described above, according to the present invention, the solar battery cells are made into blocks and are wrapped around the sides, making it possible to improve the ease of installing the solar battery cells, and to save extra space for installing the solar battery cells. There is no need to install a solar cell, and there is no need for any particular space for placement within the movement, making it possible to achieve a smaller and thinner watch even with a solar cell, and the solar cell is placed in an inconspicuous location. This makes it possible to equip a solar cell while maintaining a simple and fashionable watch. Furthermore, it is easy to connect the solar cell to the circuitry of the watch movement, and the efficiency of the solar cell is also transparent. It is efficient because the light is irradiated only through the windshield glass, and multiple solar cell blocks can be produced at the same time, and since they can be formed on a flat surface, they can be produced using general circuit manufacturing methods. It has the effect of being widely applicable to many watches, such as being inexpensive.
