Description

L'invention se rapporte à un dispositif d'affichage multifonctions sur une montre.The invention relates to a multi-function display device on a watch.

ART ANTERIEURPRIOR ART

Une montre affiche à l'aide d'aiguilles sur un cadran fixe portant des repères temporels l'heure, les minutes et les secondes. Elle peut également afficher les quantièmes du mois ainsi que les mois et/ ou les jours de la semaine au moyen d'un disque portant lui aussi des indicateurs temporels défilant derrière un guichet.A watch displays with the help of hands on a fixed dial bearing time marks the hours, minutes and seconds. It can also display the calendar of the month as well as the months and / or days of the week by means of a disc also bearing time indicators scrolling behind a window.

Pour procéder à un réglage du quantième, on active un bouton de réglage, typiquement une couronne, qui vient actionner la rotation du disque et on fait défiler les repères jusqu'à atteindre celui recherché. En règle générale, la rotation n'est possible que dans un sens. Les moyens sont donc mono-directionnels mais il existe des systèmes bidirectionnels qui sont bien entendu plus compliqués.To make a date adjustment, activate an adjustment button, typically a crown, which actuates the rotation of the disc and scrolls the markers until the desired one. As a general rule, rotation is only possible in one direction. The means are therefore mono-directional but there are bidirectional systems that are of course more complicated.

Suivant le même schéma, le disque peut porter les repères temporels mais également des repères correspondant à des fonctions type chronographe CHRONO ou alarme ALARM ON, ALARM OFF etc.Following the same diagram, the disc can carry the time markers but also marks corresponding to chronograph type functions CHRONO or alarm ALARM ON, ALARM OFF etc.

Ces indicateurs de fonctions sont insérés derrière les quantièmes. Le disque porte donc trente et un indicateurs temporels et le nombre d'indicateurs fonctionnels qui équipe la montre. La taille de ces indicateurs est souvent définie pour que l'ensemble de ces indicateurs couvre 360° afin d'être lisible. Pour des questions de lisibilité, le nombre de positions pour les quantièmes et pour les fonctions est d'environ 40 de sorte à avoir une taille de caractère suffisamment grande.These function indicators are inserted behind the dates. The disc thus carries thirty-one time indicators and the number of functional indicators that equips the watch. The size of these indicators is often defined so that all these indicators cover 360 ° in order to be readable. For readability issues, the number of positions for and for the functions is about 40 so as to have a sufficiently large character size.

Lorsque l'on veut choisir une fonction, on actionne une commande qui permet de mettre en rotation le disque et de venir présenter la fonction derrière le guichet pour ensuite valider la dite fonction.When one wants to choose a function, it activates a command that allows to rotate the disk and come to present the function behind the window to then validate said function.

Comme pour les quantièmes, les moyens de commandes sont souvent mono-directionnels et par conséquent si, lors de la rotation, on loupe la fonction, il est nécessaire de faire faire au disque quasiment un tour. Cette opération prend entre 30 à 60 secondes pour faire une rotation sur 360°.As for the dates, the control means are often mono-directional and therefore if, during the rotation, it magnifies the function, it is necessary to make the disk almost a turn. This operation takes 30 to 60 seconds to rotate 360 °.

Si en règle générale, le choix du quantième ne se reproduit pas souvent, le choix de la fonction est plus courant et ce délai de 30 à 60 secondes d'attente si on loupe la position ou si on désire faire un balayage des fonctions disponibles avant sélection s'avère rapidement fastidieux.If, as a general rule, the choice of the date is not repeated often, the choice of the function is more common and this delay of 30 to 60 seconds of waiting if one magnifies the position or if one wishes to make a scan of the available functions before selection is quickly tedious.

DESCRIPTION DETAILLEEDETAILED DESCRIPTION

En se reportant aux dessins des figures 1 à 7, on voit un dispositif 1 d'affichage des quantièmes du mois c'est-à-dire les chiffres allant de un à trente et un. Un tel dispositif est utilisé dans un mouvement d'horlogerie derrière un cadran 5 (visible à la figure 6). Ces quantièmes sont des indicateurs temporels 3. Ils sont inscrits sur la périphérie d'un ensemble rotatif 2 et se positionnent chronologiquement derrière un guichet 6 d'un cadran (visible à la figure 6). Cet ensemble rotatif 2 est entrainé par un élément moteur unidirectionnel ayant l'avantage d'être simple à réaliser.Referring to the drawings of Figures 1 to 7 we see a display device 1 month of the month that is to say the numbers ranging from one to thirty-one. Such a device is used in a watch movement behind a dial 5 (visible at the figure 6 ). These calendars are time indicators 3. They are inscribed on the periphery of a rotary assembly 2 and are positioned chronologically behind a window 6 of a dial (visible at the figure 6 ). This rotary assembly 2 is driven by a unidirectional motor element having the advantage of being simple to produce.

Ce mouvement d'horlogerie est préférentiellement un mouvement électronique comprenant un circuit de commande (non représenté), dans lequel l'ensemble rotatif 2 est entrainé par un moteur indépendant du type pas à pas ou piézoélectrique. L'utilisation de tel moteur est avantageuse car ils peuvent avoir une vitesse de rotation importante.This watch movement is preferably an electronic movement comprising a control circuit (not shown), in which the rotary assembly 2 is driven by an independent motor of the step-by-step or piezoelectric type. The use of such an engine is advantageous because they can have a high speed of rotation.

En plus de ces indicateurs temporels, le support rotatif présente des indicateurs 4 de fonctions comme par exemple CHRONO, ALARM ON, ALARM OFF etc.In addition to these time indicators, the rotary support has indicators 4 of functions such as CHRONO, ALARM ON, ALARM OFF etc.

La montre fonctionne de la manière suivante. L'affichage du quantième étant actif, lorsqu'on souhaite la fonction CHRONO, on commence par actionner une commande de réglage qui permet de faire tourner l'ensemble 2 rotatif et amener la fonction, par exemple CHRONO devant le guichet, on actionne alors une commande et la fonction CHRONO est validée.The watch works in the following way. The display of the calendar being active, when the CHRONO function is desired, it is first possible to actuate a setting control which makes it possible to turn the rotary assembly 2 and to bring the function, for example CHRONO, in front of the window, then a command and the CHRONO function is enabled.

La figure 1 montre l'état de la technique qui consiste à faire figurer les trente et un indicateurs temporels, les uns derrière les autres puis les indicateurs de fonctions A, B, C. Lorsque le moyen moteur déplaçant le support rotatif est mono directionnel, si la position CHRONO est dépassée par inadvertance, il faut refaire un tour au support.The figure 1 shows the state of the art which consists in showing the thirty-one time indicators, one behind the other then the indicators of functions A, B, C. When the motor means displacing the rotary support is mono directional, if the CHRONO position is exceeded inadvertently, it is necessary to make a turn to the support.

Pour éviter cette perte de temps, les indicateurs 4 de fonctions figurent au moins deux fois en sorte que l'ensemble rotatif présente les trente et un indicateurs 3 des quantièmes et au moins deux fois les X indicateurs de fonctions, X étant le nombre de fonctions disponibles. Dans un exemple non limitatif, le nombre de positions pour les quantièmes et pour les fonctions est de quarante de sorte à avoir une taille de caractère suffisamment grande. Ainsi, comme il y a trente et une positions pour les quantièmes, il est possible d'avoir trois fonctions indiquées à double. Si deux fonctions seulement sont envisagées, elles peuvent être indiquées trois voire quatre fois voir plus. Toutefois, le nombre de positions maximal ou minimal n'est pas fixe, cela dépend de la taille des disques.To avoid this loss of time, the function indicators 4 appear at least twice so that the rotating assembly has the thirty-one date indicators 3 and at least twice the X function indicators, where X is the number of functions. available. In a non-limiting example, the number of positions for the dates and for the functions is forty so as to have a sufficiently large character size. Thus, since there are thirty-one positions for the dates, it is possible to have three functions indicated twice. If only two functions are envisaged, they can be indicated three or four times or more. However, the maximum or minimum number of positions is not fixed, it depends on the size of the disks.

Dans un premier mode de réalisation, l'ensemble rotatif 2 comprend un support rotatif 2a se présentant sous la forme d'un disque. Ce disque peut être plein ou annulaire.In a first embodiment, the rotary assembly 2 comprises a rotary support 2a in the form of a disk. This disc can be full or annular.

Dans une réalisation de ce premier mode de réalisation visible à la figure 2, les indicateurs 4 de fonction sont répartis en deux groupes 10,11 disposés chacun l'un derrière l'autre. On retrouve donc successivement les quantièmes (1à 31), le premier groupe 10 de fonctions (A, B, C) et ensuite le deuxième groupe 11 de fonctions (A, B, C). Ainsi, si on loupe la fonction B du premier groupe 10, on peut se récupérer sur la fonction B du second groupe 11.In an embodiment of this first embodiment visible at the figure 2 the function indicators 4 are divided into two groups 10, 11 each arranged one behind the other. We thus successively find the dates (1 to 31), the first group 10 of functions (A, B, C) and then the second group 11 of functions (A, B, C). Thus, if we magnify the function B of the first group 10, we can recover on the function B of the second group 11.

Cette configuration permet avantageusement de se rattraper si on se loupe ou de pouvoir prendre connaissance de toutes les fonctions disponibles avant de faire son choix.This configuration advantageously makes it possible to catch up if one magnifies or to be able to take knowledge of all the available functions before making one's choice.

Selon une première variante visible à la figure 3, les indicateurs 3 temporels sont scindés en deux groupes 20,30 et entre chaque groupe d'indicateurs 3 temporels est inséré un groupe 10,11 d'indicateurs 4 de fonctions. Par exemple, on peut lire sur le support rotatif 2a un premier groupe 20 d'indicateurs temporels 1 à 16 puis un groupe 10 d'indicateurs de fonction ABC puis un groupe 30 d'indicateurs temporels 17 à 31 et de nouveau un groupe 11 d'indicateurs de fonctions ABC.According to a first variant visible to the figure 3 , the time indicators 3 are divided into two groups 20,30 and between each group of time indicators 3 is inserted a group 10,11 of function indicators 4. For example, one can read on the rotary support 2a a first group 20 of time indicators 1 to 16 and then a group 10 of ABC function indicators then a group 30 of time indicators 17 to 31 and again a group 11 of function indicators ABC.

Cette première variante de réalisation permet de diminuer le temps entre les deux groups d'indicateurs de fonction 10,11 puisque seul un demi-tour du disque est nécessaire pour passer d'un groupe de fonction à un autre. De plus, avec l'utilisation d'un moteur électrique pour faire tourner le disque faisant office de support rotatif 2a, il est possible d'avoir une rotation plus rapide pour passer du groupe 10 d'indicateurs de fonction ABC au groupe 11 d'indicateurs de fonctions ABC et ainsi diminuer le temps d'attente.This first embodiment makes it possible to reduce the time between the two groups of function indicators 10, 11 since only one half-turn of the disk is necessary to go from one function group to another. In addition, with the use of an electric motor to rotate the rotary support disk 2a, it is possible to have a faster rotation to move from the group of function indicators ABC to the group 11. ABC function indicators and thus reduce the waiting time.

Selon une seconde variante de réalisation figure 4, les indicateurs 4 de fonctions sont groupés par fonction (deux à deux dans l'exemple) et sont positionnés à la suite des indicateurs 3 temporels. Ici, on a donc constitué un groupe 40 avec deux fois la fonction A, un groupe 50 avec deux fois la fonction B et un groupe 60 avec deux fois la fonction C. Ainsi, lorsque l'on arrive trop vite sur la première fonction A, on retrouve la deuxième fonction A à la position suivante. L'utilisateur n'a pas besoin de balayer toutes les fonctions pour pouvoir sélection une fonction précédemment loupée.According to a second embodiment variant figure 4 , the function indicators 4 are grouped by function (two by two in the example) and are positioned after the 3 temporal indicators. Here, we have therefore formed a group 40 with twice the function A, a group 50 with twice the function B and a group 60 with twice the function C. Thus, when we arrive too quickly on the first function A we find the second function A at the next position. The user does not need to scan all functions to be able to select a function previously missed.

Selon une troisième variante de réalisation, au moins un indicateur de fonction 4 est intercalé entre deux indicateurs temporels 3. Il est possible d'avoir un indicateur temporel 3 intercalé entre deux indicateurs de fonction 4 ou deux indicateurs temporels 3 intercalés entre deux indicateurs de fonction 4.According to a third embodiment, at least one function indicator 4 is interposed between two time indicators 3. It is possible to have a time indicator 3 interposed between two function indicators 4 or two time indicators 3 interposed between two function indicators. 4.

Par exemple, on constitue la séquence suivante quantième 10 suivi de fonction A suivi de quantième 11 suivi de fonction A suivi de quantième 12 suivi de fonction B suivi de quantième 13 suivi de fonction B.For example, the following sequence is defined as a calendar 10 followed by a function A followed by a date 11 followed by a function A followed by a date 12 followed by a function B followed by a date number 13 followed by a function B.

Cette configuration est possible par la possibilité part la configuration. En effet, pour passer d'un indicateur de fonction 4 à un autre, il faut en théorie passer par un indicateur temporelle 3. Avec un moteur entrainant le support rotatif 2a capable de tourner à vitesse élevée, il est envisageable que le mouvement électronique soit programmé pour que le passage d'un indicateurs de fonction 4 à un autre se fasse à une vitesse permettant à l'indicateur temporel 3 intercalé entre ces deux indicateurs de fonction 4 d'être invisible par l'utilisateur. On comprend alors que le pas de rotation du disque effectuer pour placer l'indicateur temporel 3 devant le guichet est effectué à une vitesse importante de sorte que l'utilisateur ne le perçoit pas.This configuration is possible by the possibility of the configuration. In fact, to pass from one function indicator 4 to another, it is theoretically necessary to use a time indicator 3. With a motor causing the rotational support 2a can rotate at high speed, it is conceivable that the electronic movement is programmed so that the transition from one function indicator 4 to another is done at a speed allowing the time indicator 3 interposed between these two indicators function 4 to be invisible by the user. It is then understood that the rotation step of the disk to place the time indicator 3 in front of the window is made at a high speed so that the user does not perceive it.

Une autre possibilité est de placer entre deux quantièmes, deux fois la même fonction ou une seule fois.Another possibility is to place between two calendars, twice the same function or only once.

Dans un seconde mode de réalisation qui apparait sur la figure 6, l'ensemble rotatif 2 comprend plusieurs supports rotatifs 2a se présentant sous la forme d'un disque. Ce disque peut être plein ou annulaire. Chaque support rotatif 2a est entrainé unidirectionnellement par un moteur.In a second embodiment which appears on the figure 6 the rotary assembly 2 comprises a plurality of rotary supports 2a in the form of a disc. This disc can be full or annular. Each rotary support 2a is driven unidirectionally by a motor.

Les quantièmes ou indicateurs temporels 3 sont inscrits sur un premier support rotatif 2b qui présente une lumière ou ouverture 6a pouvant coïncidée avec le guichet 6 du cadran 5 et les indicateurs de fonctions 4 sont listés plusieurs fois sur un second support rotatif 2c. Le premier support rotatif 2b et le second support rotatif 2c sont superposés et disposés coaxialement. Ils peuvent entrer en rotation de façon indépendante.Date calendars or indicators 3 are written on a first rotary support 2b which has a light or aperture 6a coinciding with the window 6 of the dial 5 and the function indicators 4 are listed several times on a second rotary support 2c. The first rotary support 2b and the second rotary support 2c are superimposed and arranged coaxially. They can rotate independently.

Des moyens de commande sont constitués pour lors du passage de recherche d'une fonction, le support 2b des indicateurs temporels 3 soit mis en rotation de sorte à amener la lumière 6a devant le guichet 6. Une fois la lumière 6a devant le guichet 6, le second support rotatif 2c devient visible par l'utilisateur. Celui-ci peut alors agir sur les moyens de commande pour faire défiler le second support rotatif 2c sous la lumière 6a et sélectionner la fonction désirée.Control means are constituted during the search passage of a function, the support 2b time indicators 3 is rotated so as to bring the light 6a in front of the window 6. Once the light 6a in front of the window 6, the second rotary support 2c becomes visible to the user. The latter can then act on the control means to scroll the second rotary support 2c under the light 6a and select the desired function.

Dans une variante du second mode de réalisation visible à la figure 7, les disques sont inversés. Les indicateurs de fonction 4 sont inscrits plusieurs fois sur le premier support rotatif 2b qui présente une lumière ou ouverture 6a pouvant coïncidée avec le guichet 6 du cadran 5 et les indicateurs temporels 3 sont listés sur un second support rotatif 2c.In a variant of the second embodiment visible at figure 7 , the discs are reversed. The function indicators 4 are written several times on the first rotary support 2b which presents a light or opening 6a being coincident with the window 6 of the dial 5 and the time indicators 3 are listed on a second rotary support 2c.

En temps normal, la lumière du premier support rotatif 2b se trouve en face du guichet du cadran de sorte à voir les indications temporelles sur le second support.Normally, the light of the first rotary support 2b is in front of the window of the dial so as to see the time indications on the second support.

Lorsque une fonction doit être sélectionnée et après avoir agi sur les moyens de commande appropriés, le premier support rotatif 2b se met en rotation de sorte à placer une indication de fonction devant le guichet du cadran. On agencera ce premier support rotatif 2b de sorte que son premier pas lors de sa rotation permette à la première fonction d'être visible.When a function is to be selected and after having acted on the appropriate control means, the first rotary support 2b rotates so as to place a function indication in front of the dial window. This first rotary support 2b will be arranged so that its first pitch during its rotation allows the first function to be visible.

Lors que la fonction est sélectionnée ou que le mouvement d'horlogerie comprennent le dispositif d'affichage repasse dans un mode normal dans lequel l'heure courante est affichée, le premier support rotatif 2b se déplace pour que sa lumière 6a se place en regard du guichet 6 du cadran 5.When the function is selected or the watch movement comprises the display device returns to a normal mode in which the current time is displayed, the first rotary support 2b moves so that its light 6a is placed opposite the window 6 of the dial 5.

La répartition des fonctions sur ce support rotatif peut être du type A,B,C,A,B,C les groupes de fonctions se suivant ou A,A,B,B,C,C, les indicateurs de fonction étant groupés par fonction. De plus, comme le second support rotatif est exclusivement dédié aux fonctions, il est possible d'avoir un nombre de fonctions plus important ou des indicateurs plus lisibles.The distribution of the functions on this rotary support can be of the type A, B, C, A, B, C the groups of functions following or A, A, B, B, C, C, the indicators of function being grouped by function . Moreover, since the second rotary support is exclusively dedicated to functions, it is possible to have a larger number of functions or more readable indicators.

On comprendra que diverses modifications et/ou améliorations et/ou combinaisons évidentes pour l'homme du métier peuvent être apportées aux différents modes de réalisation de l'invention exposée ci-dessus sans sortir du cadre de l'invention définie par les revendications annexées.It will be understood that various modifications and / or improvements and / or combinations obvious to those skilled in the art can be made to the various embodiments of the invention set out above without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the appended claims.

Toutefois, un mouvement mécanique pourra être utilisé dans lequel l'ensemble rotatif 2 est entrainer par un ensemble comprenant une source d'énergie, des rouages et un système balancier-échappement donnant également l'heure courante.However, a mechanical movement may be used in which the rotary assembly 2 is driven by a set comprising a power source, gear wheels and a balance-exhaust system also giving the current time.

Par ailleurs, l'ensemble rotatif 2 peut être entrainé par un élément moteur bidirectionnel, l'avantage de la présente invention étant qu'il n'y a pas besoin pour l'utilisateur de changer son action.Moreover, the rotary assembly 2 can be driven by a bidirectional motor element, the advantage of the present invention being that there is no need for the user to change its action.
