ELECTRONIC CLOCK

An electronic clock contains a clock module with at least one display panel and a transforming module. The transforming module is mounted in a power supply space of at least one switch on a wall. The clock module is fitted on a rear end of each switch, and the at least one display panel correspond to a displaying portion of each switch. The transforming module is electrically connected with supply mains in the power supply space of the at least one switch so as to output power to the clock module. The at least one display panel is electrically connected with the clock module, and the clock module is electrically coupled with the transforming module so as to receive power outputted by the transforming module, hence the clock module produces electronic signals to display time or/and date on the at least one display panel.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

With reference toFIGS. 1 and 2, an electronic clock1according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is fixed on at least one switch20on a wall50and comprises: a clock module10with at least one display panel11and a transforming module12mounted in a power supply space30of the at least one switch20on the wall50. The clock module10is fitted on a rear end of each switch20, and the at least one display panel11correspond to a displaying portion200of each switch20; wherein the displaying portion200is transparent or is hollow so that time or/and date displayed on the at least one display panel11are viewed clearly, wherein when the displaying portion200is hollow, a transparent layer is attached on the displaying portion200so as to protect the displaying portion200. The transforming module12is electrically connected with supply mains in the power supply space30of the at least one switch20so as to output power to the clock module10. For example, when the supply mains is 110 volts and a power supplied to the clock module10is 12 volts, the transforming module12is a transformer rectifier for transforming 100 volts of alternating currents into 12 volts of direct currents. The at least one display panel11is electrically connected with the clock module10, and the clock module10is electrically coupled with the transforming module12so as to receive power outputted by the transforming module12, hence the clock module10produces electronic signals to display the time or/and the date on the at least one display panel11. The clock module10further includes at least one first adjusting button15for adjusting the electronic signals produced by the clock module10, at least one illumination module13electrically connected with the clock module10and used to illuminate the time or/and the date displayed on the at least one display panel11. Each illuminating module13has a second adjusting button131for turning on/off each illuminating module13and for adjusting a brightness of each illuminating module13. The electronic clock1further comprises a holder21with an opening and a frame22, wherein the holder21is used to fix the clock module10and the at least one switch20on the wall50, and the frame22is fitted on the at least one switch20so as to enhance aesthetics appearance. Each display panel11is comprised of any one of LED, LCD, OLED, and AMOLED. Each illuminating module13is comprised of any one of a LED light and a light emitting element so as to illumine each display panel11or indoor environment. The electronic clock1further comprises at least one power backup module, and each power backup module is a rechargeable battery electrically connected with the supply mains or the transforming module, such that when the transforming module12cannot supply power toward the clock module10via the supply mains, the power backup module supplies stored power to the clock module10. Preferably, the electronic clock1has time alarming function and hourly time announcement. Referring further toFIGS. 3-5, the at least one display panel11of the clock module10generates at least one display mode for corresponding to a number of the at least one switch20on the wall. For example, as shown inFIG. 3, when the clock module10is fitted on a rear end of a switch20, a display panel11completely corresponds to a displaying portion200of the switch20, and two power sockets10amatch with the switch20. As illustrated inFIG. 4, two display panels11of the clock module10correspond to two displaying portions200of two switches20, and a power socket10amatch with the two switches20. With reference toFIG. 5, three display panels11of the clock module10correspond to three displaying portions200of three switches20. Furthermore, each first adjusting button15is flat, concaved, or projected to comply with different using requirement.

As illustrated inFIG. 6, when the clock module10is fitted on two rear ends of two switches20, and two display panels11correspond to the two displaying portions200of the two switches20. As shown inFIG. 7, a display panel11corresponds to a displaying portion200of a switch20, and no any power controller10ais provided to match with one switch20. With reference toFIG. 8, a display panel11of the clock module10corresponds to a displaying portion200of a switch20, and a power controller10amatches with the switch20. Preferably, each switch20is a press switch (as shown inFIGS. 1-8) or is a touch panel (as illustrated inFIG. 9).

Thereby, the electronic clock of the present invention has the following advantages:

1. The clock module is fitted on at least one switch on the wall, and the at least one display panel corresponds to the at least one displaying portion of the at least one switch, such that the clock module is connected with the at least one switch to display any one of the time, the date, and the time and the date.

2. The clock module is connected with the at least one switch on the wall securely.

3. The supply mains supplies power to the clock module so that the electronic clock operates stably. In addition, the electronic clock further comprises the power backup module to supply power when a power failure occurs.

4. The at least one display panel of the clock module cooperates with different numbers of switches based on using requirement.
