Mention the tower, everyone will come up with that kind of pointed tower, but tower clock, do you know what it is like? Weihai Huasheng watches take you to understand the real tower clock appearance, the tower clock refers to those installed in the tower building or steeple church on the large clock, now those installed in the large high-rise building on the large clock can be called the tower clock.
1. Function
The tower clock has the function of showing the time of ordinary clocks, in addition to the decoration of those ornaments and the role of beautiful external buildings. Pedestrians passing under the building can see the specific time when they pass the building, and these tower clocks can make the building look more beautiful and generous.
Ii. Classification
Today's tower clocks are roughly divided into two types, generally mechanical and electromechanical. Mechanical tower clocks generally use heavy weights as the power source of the tower clock, and this way of watching is to drive the clock to move through mechanical transmission, and to indicate the time. This mechanical tower clock makes a sound by striking the body of the clock when it reaches the correct time. This sound can tell people the time. This mechanical clock structure is relatively large and bulky, and the accuracy is poor, so it generally exists in those older buildings, modern buildings are relatively few.
All in all, the mechanical tower clock has a greater role in decoration and inheritance than it does in indicating time. Modern tower clocks are mostly electromechanical, based on electricity, the time is very accurate, and the time is very loud and punctual.
