What is an architectural tower clock?

Building tower clock is a kind of giant clock integrating architectural design and manufacture. It usually indicates time with an hour hand, and is widely used in schools, stations, squares, docks, hotels, airports, clubs, churches and other places. Now, a large clock installed in a large high-rise building can be called a tower clock. What's the difference between them and traditional clocks? Let's have a look. 1. What is an architectural tower clock?

Building bell tower clock refers to the big clock installed on large high-rise buildings. Towers can not only remind people of time, but also play a role in decorating and beautifying buildings.

Building tower clock can be divided into mechanical tower clock and electromechanical tower clock from the operation principle. Pure mechanical tower clock is rarely used by customers because of its low running accuracy and high cost. At present, electromechanical tower clock is mainly used in the market, which has the following advantages:

1, the cost is low, and the cost of electromechanical tower clock is only about one tenth of that of traditional mechanical tower clock.

2, high precision, because the electromechanical tower clock adopts GPS or Beidou satellite time, real-time automatic calibration can ensure the high-precision operation of the tower clock.

3, the production cycle is short, the production cycle of mechanical tower clock is more than two months, and the production cycle of electromechanical tower clock is controlled within one month.

4. The installation is simple. Compared with the mechanical tower clock, the mechanical transmission device of the electromechanical tower clock is less, which reduces a lot of installation and debugging time.

Second, the difference between tower clock and traditional clock

1, from the outside: its clock hands and scales are bare, and it can resist strong winds, storms and blizzards below 12.

2. In terms of volume, the diameter of its clock face is more than one meter, even more than ten meters.

3. From the structural point of view: it is a mechatronics product, and its movement is similar to general mechanical clocks and watches, larger and more complex, requiring accuracy (some adopt worm gear reducers).

4. Functionally speaking, ordinary clocks are all single timers, but tower clocks are different. It can be used as a mother clock to synchronize with dozens or even hundreds of clocks. The luminous signal can be turned on and off at any time, and the fault can be self-checked and the time error can be corrected actively.

The tower clock has many functions, such as walking time, telling time and lighting. , and use the hour hand and minute hand to guide the time. Intelligent driving function: the number of driving disks is 1-32, and the disk diameter is 1- 15m. Active calibration function: the master clock system adopts closed-loop control, and the movement is actively calibrated when it is fed back. Active time tracking function: after the system is powered off, the memory unit actively remembers the clock data and actively tracks the time to the standard time after the call.
