Generation of tower clock technology
Public time measurement has always occupied an important position in human production and life. In the traditional Chinese urban planning and construction, the bell tower and the drum tower are the core buildings and the prototype of the modern architectural tower clock. The real tower clock originated in Europe. With the gradual development and growth of the western watch industry, from the perspective of technological development, the tower clock can be divided into four generations.
The first generation, mechanical tower clock. The use of clockwork, gears and other mechanical structures to realize the timekeeping of the clock requires a lot of manpower for daily maintenance, many failures, and high costs. The world-famous British Big Ben, built in 1858, is a masterpiece of mechanical tower clocks and needs a comprehensive overhaul every few years.
The second generation, mechatronic tower clock. With the development of electronic and electrical technology, the tower clock has also reduced the huge mechanical components, and adopted a large number of electronic and motor components, which has effectively reduced the cost.
Improved travel time accuracy. Compared with the first-generation pure mechanical tower clock, the second-generation tower clock has made great progress in terms of accuracy, cost, and longevity.
Does not really solve the problem of travel time accuracy.
The third generation, GPS tower clock. 1990s: GPS began to be applied to various industries, and GPS-based tower clocks are truly modern tower clocks. Because it uses GPS
Satellite timing technology can realize automatic clock correction and reduce labor maintenance costs, so it is quickly recognized by the market. GPS/Beidou has also become an essential function of tower clocks, but GPS signals are not completely stable, and pointers are lost and maintenance is difficult, etc. The problem remains that the third generation isn't perfect.
The fourth-generation IoT tower clock has entered the 10th century cloud computing and mobile Internet era. The use of GPS/Beidou to travel accurately is only the basic function of the tower clock.
High requirements: more and more accurate timing methods, more beautiful and lightweight structure, smaller installation volume, lower and greener use cost, security control anytime and anywhere, real-time online video surveillance, real 365-day maintenance-free... …All of these can only be effectively satisfied by the IoT tower clock based on 4G/5G, and the IoT provides infinite possibilities for the function expansion of the tower clock.
Most domestic tower clock manufacturers use the third-generation tower clock products, and a few manufacturers have completely switched to the fourth-generation products. Among them, the 4G/5G IoT tower clock control system launched by Huasheng Watch
The system and public clock IoT platform have abandoned the traditional RS485, network cable and other complicated and problem-prone wired deployment methods, and are controlled by mobile APP, applet and other wireless forms.
It can be deployed at any time, controlled at any time, and maintenance-free for life. Its excellent quality has been widely recognized by the market.
