Abstract
An embodiment of the present invention provides a timer. The timer includes a housing, a visual indicator assembly, a digital display element and a visual display element; wherein the visual indicator assembly is arranged on the housing and includes a digital display zone and a visual display zone; the digital display element is arranged on the housing and is configured to display digital timing through the digital display zone; the visual display element is arranged on the housing and includes a first light-emitting element, and the first light-emitting element includes at least two sub-light sources whose on/off and/or brightness are independently controlled, so that the at least two sub-light sources cooperate with each other to display timing progress of different colors and/or brightness through the visual display zone.
Claims18
A timer, comprising:
- a housing;
- a visual indicator assembly arranged on the housing and comprising a digital display zone and a visual display zone;
- a digital display element arranged on the housing and configured to display digital timing time through the digital display zone;
- and
- a visual display element arranged on the housing and comprising a plurality of first light-emitting elements, wherein each of the first light-emitting elements comprises at least two sub-light sources whose on/off and/or brightness are independently controlled, so that the at least two sub-light sources cooperate with each other to display timing progress of different colors through the visual display zone in a manner that when one of the sub-light sources is turned on, the visual display zone displays the color of the sub-light source, when another sub-light source is turned on, the visual display zone displays the color of another sub-light source, and when two sub-light sources are turned on, the color mixed by the two sub-light sources is displayed;
- wherein the visual indicator assembly comprises a light diffusion layer in a sheet shape, the light diffusion layer comprising a plurality of separated visual zone diffusion regions, the separated visual zone diffusion regions are evenly arranged in a circle, when a pre-set time decreases, numbers of the visual zone diffusion regions with the color representing a remaining time of the pre-set time;
- and the numbers of the visual zone diffusion regions with the color corresponding to the digital timing time of digital display zone;
- wherein the visual indicator assembly further comprises a visual indicator member, the visual indicator member comprises a frame, the frame has a digital zone aperture corresponding to the digital display element and a visual zone aperture corresponding to the visual display element,
- the light diffusion layer is arranged at one side of the frame away from the digital display element and the visual display element, the light diffusion layer further comprises a digital zone diffusion region corresponding to the digital zone aperture, the visual zone diffusion regions corresponding to the visual zone aperture, and a light blocking area surrounding the digital zone diffusion region and the visual zone diffusion regions.
