Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electronic watch which comprises analogue display means consisting of at least one needle driven by at least one motor, a time base for controlling drive means of said motor, a rechargeable power source, motor stopping means acting in particular on said drive means and time counting means in synchronism with said analog display means for a sufficient supply voltage of the source.
  • a watch comprising means for detecting insufficient power supply to the motor is known in particular from the document WO 98/33098 .
  • This document presents an electronic watch comprising electrically driven and electronically controlled needles containing time data, a power source and means for detecting the insufficiency of this source. In case of insufficient power the needles are brought and maintained on reference positions programmed in advance in the electronic means.
  • This watch has some disadvantages. Indeed, the hands of the watch are the reflection of the value of a counter of the electronic means. This is why it is necessary to bring the needles into a reference position, during a power failure, to force the value of this counter to a programmed reference value before the watch is switched on. Thus, this clock synchronized needles can no longer be used as a timer. It is therefore necessary to have a second counter that counts the time during a power failure. On the other hand, during normal operation of the watch, which represents the majority of the operating time, the two counters contain the same values. These two counters unnecessarily complicate the electronic means of the watch.
  • EP-A-1 014 227 discloses an electronic watch according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the main purpose of the invention is therefore to overcome the drawbacks of the abovementioned prior art by providing an electronic watch which comprises simplified electronic means that do not require the programming of a reference value for the time-release following an insufficiency of time. 'food.
  • the subject of the invention is an electronic watch of the type mentioned in the introduction, which is characterized in that, when a lack of power is detected by said stop means, said display means are stopped and the corresponding value of said counting means is stored in means of storage, said counting means continuing to operate, and in that time difference calculation means send, as soon as the supply is again sufficient, time difference signals between the stored value and the value of the means of counting said training means for the time setting of said analog display means.
  • said motor stopping means are actuated for a first threshold voltage corresponding to the detection of a power failure of the motor and they are kept actuated as long as a second voltage, of threshold greater than the first voltage of threshold has not been reached by the power source, which avoids problems related to the variation of supply voltage due to load variations when stopping elements such as the engine.
  • This second threshold voltage corresponds to a determined load level of the power source.
  • the storage means may be composed in particular of a non-volatile memory.
  • Figure 1 shows the elements of the watch necessary for the understanding of the invention.
  • the electronic watch comprises analog display means 1 generally consisting of at least two hands 2. One serves to indicate the hours and the other the minutes. It is possible to provide a third needle for indicating, for example, seconds.
  • the needles 2 are driven by at least one motor 3.
  • the hour hand and the minute hand are driven by a stepping motor and that of the seconds is driven by another stepper motor. Indeed, for the sake of saving energy, the motor driving the seconds hand can be stopped earlier.
  • a time base 4 makes it possible to define for each motor 3 the pitch for the advance of the needle 2 associated with said motor.
  • the time base 4, generally used, consists in particular of a crystal oscillator, referenced 5 and 6, and different frequency divider stages 7 of the oscillator 6 to drive each motor 3 with the desired pitch.
  • Drive means 8 or motors 3 are provided for this purpose.
  • the motor 3 is powered by a rechargeable power source 9 of the accumulator or battery type.
  • This power source 9 can be recharged in various ways, including the use of photovoltaic cells, oscillating weight, or by electrical contacts. The latter method will be used preferably to satisfy a need for fast and complete recharging.
  • Voltage comparators 11 and 12 are placed at the output of the supply source 9. They receive as input a fraction of the supply voltage obtained by a voltage divider, for example a resistive bridge, and a voltage V ' S1 , respectively V ' S2 . These voltages are a reflection of the threshold voltages V S1 and V S2 (see FIGS. 2 to 4).
  • V S1 corresponds to a voltage sufficient to ensure synchronization between the time indication of the analog display 1 and the pulses supplied by the time base 4 to the drive means of the motor 8.
  • the value of this voltage is chosen with a safety factor in relation to the minimum voltage necessary for the correct operation of the motor 3.
  • V S2 corresponds to a determined load level for which the load is deemed sufficient to restart the engine. The latter could still function properly below this voltage.
  • This second threshold voltage also makes it possible to avoid the effects as discussed with reference to FIG.
  • V ' S1 and V' S2 are achieved by means of a conventional circuit known to those skilled in the art.
  • This circuit not shown, comprises means for supplying a reference voltage to which a resistive voltage divider bridge is applied, defining the two voltages V ' S1 and V' S2 . These two voltages are therefore lower than the threshold voltages V S1 and V S2 .
  • the comparator 11 compares the fractional supply voltage with the reflection voltage V ' S1 , respectively V' S2 .
  • These comparison means 11 and 12 are operational as long as the supply voltage is greater than a minimum voltage V OUT (see FIG. 4).
  • switching means not shown, leaving only the comparator 11 active when discharging the power source 9, and conversely leaving the comparator 12 active when charging the power source 9.
  • Stop means 14 of the engine retrieve the results of the comparisons. These means make it possible, in particular, to detect an insufficiency of supply of the source 9. According to the state of the power supply and according to the preceding state of the motor provided by a signal 13, these stop means 14 will send to the means of power supply. drive 8 a motor status control signal 15, which will be either an engine stop signal or a start signal of the engine. The evolution of these engine states as a function of the comparisons made by the comparators 11 and 12 will be studied in detail in FIG. 2.
  • the means for stopping the engine are in particular connected to a reset circuit 17.
  • This time reset circuit 17 is composed of at least one counter 18 for counting the time according to the pulses, received by the time base 4, storage means composed of at least one memory 19 for storing the contents of the counter 18 and means for calculating the time difference 20 allowing to obtain the offset 24 between the position of the hands 2 and the exact time.
  • the counter 18 operates continuously as long as the power source 9 delivers a minimum voltage V OUT sufficient to supply the time base 4 and operate said counter 18. Below this voltage V OUT , no function is ensured. to work properly. In general, this voltage V OUT is substantially lower than the first threshold voltage V S1 , which leaves the user with a sufficient amount of time, for example, a minimum of several hours, to be aware of the insufficiency of feeding, the needles 2 being stopped. The user can then recharge the battery or battery 9 while keeping accurate time information.
  • the motor 3 is stopped as well as the needles 2.
  • the stop means 14 then send the information signal 16a concerning the stopping of the motor to a memory 19.
  • the value then contained in the counter 18 is stored in the memory 19.
  • a nonvolatile memory 19 is used.
  • an information signal 16b is sent to the difference calculation means 20.
  • these means 20 perform the subtraction between the current value 22 of the counter 18 and the stored value 23 in the memory 19
  • the result obtained is in the form of time difference signals 21 which are sent to the driving means of the motor 8 in order to reset the hands 2 to the time. Needles 2 are brought on time by the shortest path.
  • the drive means 8 control the rotation of the motor 3 in one direction or the other.
  • FIG. 2 represents the operation of the motor stopping means 14 as a function of the comparisons made by the comparators 11 and 12 and as a function of the state of the motor 15, seen in FIG. 1.
  • the supply voltage delivered by the source 9. This voltage can vary between 0 and V MAX .
  • the zero voltage corresponds to the voltage delivered when the battery or the accumulator 9 is totally discharged.
  • the voltage V MAX corresponds to the maximum voltage delivered when the battery or accumulator is fully charged.
  • the voltage V OUT corresponds to the minimum voltage for which the data of the counter 18 is accurate.
  • the voltages V S1 and V S2 correspond to the two threshold voltages whose associated reflective voltages V ' S1 and V' S2 make it possible to control the state of the motor.
  • In ordinate is represented the state in which is the motor. If the state corresponds to A, the motor is stopped. If the state is M, the motor is running.
  • V MAX the voltage delivered is V MAX .
  • the energy supplied is sufficient, the motor is therefore running, that is to say in the M state.
  • the battery or the accumulator 9 discharges.
  • the supply voltage becomes lower than the threshold voltage V S1 , the energy supplied by the source is no longer sufficient to ensure synchronization between the time base 4 and the hourly indication of the hands 2.
  • the means stopping of the motor 14 are actuated and the motor 3 is stopped via the drive means of the motor 8. The motor 3 goes to the state A.
  • the hands 2 are also stopped.
  • the value of the time counter 18 is stored, the counter continues to operate.
  • the majority of the energy consumed by the device is the energy consumed by the engine.
  • the motor 3 is restarted only from a second threshold voltage V S2 greater than V S1 and corresponding to a determined minimum charge level.
  • the stop means 14 remain actuated, during charging, for a value between V S1 and V S2 , because the state of the engine is A.
  • Figures 3 and 4 show a conventional discharge / recharge cycle of the power source 9 as a function of time, according to the prior art ( Figure 3) and according to the invention ( Figure 4).
