Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un régulateur centrifuge de sonnerie, notamment pour une pièce d'horlogerie, comportant un plateau rotatif autour de son axe central et muni de deux plots d'entraínement diamétralement opposés, un corps fixe ayant une surface intérieure de révolution centrée sur ledit axe, et deux masselottes mutuellement symétriques par rapport audit axe, engagées chacune respectivement sur l'un des plots d'entraínement et agencées pour s'appuyer contre la surface intérieure du corps sous l'effet de la force centrifuge quand le plateau tourne.The present invention relates to a centrifugal ring regulator, especially for a timepiece, comprising a turntable around its central axis and provided with two diametrically opposed training pads, a body stationary having an inner surface of revolution centered on said axis, and two flyweights mutually symmetrical with respect to said axis, engaged each respectively on one of the training pads and arranged to lean against the inner surface of the body under the effect of centrifugal force when the plate rotates.
Un régulateur de ce genre est utilisable pour limiter la vitesse ou la cadence de toute sonnerie mécanique entraínée par au moins un élément rotatif, par exemple dans une horloge ou dans une montre à sonnerie, qu'elle soit du type en passant ou à répétition. Un tel régulateur limite la vitesse avant tout par friction. La vitesse de la sonnerie est stabilisée dès que le régulateur atteint une vitesse de rotation telle que les frottements produisent sur son axe un couple égal et opposé au couple moteur qu'il reçoit de l'organe moteur de la sonnerie.A regulator of this kind can be used to limit the speed or rate of any mechanical buzzer driven by at least one rotary element, for example in a clock or a bell watch, whether of the type passing or repetition. Such a regulator limits the speed primarily by friction. The speed of the ringing is stabilized as soon as the regulator reaches a speed of rotation such that the friction produces on its axis an equal and opposite torque to the engine torque that it receives from the motor organ of the ringing.
Par exemple dans le brevet CH 604 237, il est décrit une montre à répétition dont la sonnerie est entraínée par un ressort de barillet et stabilisée par un régulateur centrifuge du genre indiqué en préambule. Lorsque la sonnerie fonctionne, le plateau tourne et ses deux masselottes tentent à s'écarter l'une de l'autre et à frotter sur la paroi d'une ouverture circulaire d'un pont, produisant ainsi un effet de freinage.For example in the patent CH 604 237, there is described a repeating watch whose ringing is driven by a mainspring and stabilized by a regulator Centrifugal of the kind indicated in the preamble. When the ringtone works, the board turns and his two flyweights try to move away from each other and rub on the wall of a circular opening of a bridge, thus producing a braking effect.
Un tel régulateur a l'inconvénient de subir une usure qui modifie les conditions de friction au cours de sa durée de vie et produit en outre des déchets susceptibles d'affecter le fonctionnement de la montre.Such a regulator has the disadvantage of undergoing wear which modifies the conditions friction during its service life and also produces waste that is likely to to affect the operation of the watch.
Diverses tentatives ont été faites pour pallier ce problème d'usure en utilisant des corps roulants portés par le plateau ou les masselottes. Ainsi, selon le brevet CH 12249, le plateau comporte des rainures radiales contenant des billes qui roulent contre le corps du régulateur. Dans le brevet CH 14178, chaque masselotte est formée par un levier dont le bras le plus long contient le centre de gravité et dont le bras le plus court porte un galet qui s'appuie en roulant contre un cylindre central fixe. Selon ce brevet, l'usure des organes du régulateur est presque nulle, vu la faible vitesse angulaire des galets en contact avec le cylindre central, qui peut être de très petit diamètre. On peut en déduire qu'un régulateur construit ainsi ne fournit qu'un faible couple résistant. Ces solutions déjà anciennes n'ont pas pu s'imposer sur le marché, probablement par manque d'efficacité. Various attempts have been made to overcome this wear problem by using rolling bodies carried by the plate or the weights. So according to the patent CH 12249, the plate has radial grooves containing rolling balls against the body of the regulator. In patent CH 14178, each counterweight is formed by a lever whose longest arm contains the center of gravity and whose Shortest arm carries a roller which leans rolling against a fixed central cylinder. According to this patent, the wear of the regulator bodies is almost zero, given the low angular velocity of the rollers in contact with the central cylinder, which can be very small diameter. It can be deduced that a regulator constructed thus provides only one low torque resistant. These old solutions could not prevail on the probably because of lack of efficiency.
La présente invention vise à créer un régulateur centrifuge qui évite les inconvénients de l'art antérieur, notamment en présentant peu d'usure tout en ayant une bonne efficacité, avec une taille assez petite pour pouvoir être incorporé dans une montre.The present invention aims at creating a centrifugal regulator which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art, in particular by presenting little wear and tear while having good efficiency, with a size small enough to be incorporated into a shows.
A cet effet, il est prévu un régulateur centrifuge du genre indiqué en préambule, caractérisé en ce que chaque masselotte s'appuie contre la surface intérieure du corps par l'intermédiaire d'au moins un galet monté de manière rotative sur la masselotte et agencé pour rouler sur ladite surface intérieure.For this purpose, a centrifugal regulator of the kind indicated in preamble, characterized in that each weight leans against the surface interior of the body via at least one rotatably mounted roller on the flyweight and arranged to roll on said inner surface.
Ainsi, le corps du régulateur ne subit pratiquement pas de friction, puisque les masselottes ne le touchent pas et que les galets roulent contre lui. La friction s'effectue essentiellement au niveau du pivot portant chaque galet. On verra plus loin que l'usure peut être réduite pratiquement à zéro à cet endroit.Thus, the body of the regulator undergoes practically no friction, since the Weights do not touch him and the pebbles roll against him. Friction is essentially at the pivot bearing each roller. We'll see further that wear can be reduced to practically zero at this point.
De préférence, chaque masselotte comporte deux de ces galets, qui sont espacés l'un de l'autre dans la direction de la circonférence du plateau. Plus l'espacement angulaire de ces galets est grand, plus la force d'appui sur chaque galet est grande, pour une valeur donnée de la force centrifuge s'exerçant sur la masselotte. On augmente ainsi les frottements, ce qui permet de diminuer la taille du régulateur ou la masse de chaque masselotte, pour une valeur donnée du couple résistant.Preferably, each counterweight comprises two of these rollers, which are spaced from each other in the direction of the circumference of the tray. More the angular spacing of these rollers is large, the greater the bearing force on each roller is large, for a given value of the centrifugal force exerted on the flyweight. This increases the friction, which allows to reduce the size of the regulator or the mass of each weight, for a given value of the torque resistant.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaítront dans la description suivante d'un mode de réalisation préféré, présentée à titre d'exemple non limitatif en référence aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :

Dans la montre 1 représentée partiellement à la figure 1, on reconnaít certains
éléments principaux du mouvement d'horlogerie, notamment un barillet à ressort 2 qui
entraíne un rouage 3 relié à un système réglant constitué ici par un tourbillon 4. La
montre 1 contient en outre une sonnerie du type grande sonnerie, comportant un
marteau des heures 6, qui frappe sur un timbre des heures 7, et un marteau des
minutes 8 qui frappe sur un timbre des minutes 9. Les marteaux sont actionnés de
manière connue à partir d'un mobile de centre de sonnerie 10 qui est entraíné par le
ressort d'un barillet 11 par l'entremise d'un mobile intermédiaire 12. Un régulateur
centrifuge de sonnerie 14 est entraíné en rotation à partir du mobile de centre 10 par
un train d'engrenage multiplicateur 15, dont le dernier élément est une roue
entraíneuse 16 qui s'engrène sur un pignon 17 du régulateur 14.In the
Les éléments du régulateur centrifuge de sonnerie 14 sont représentés plus en
détail dans les figures 2 à 4. Le pignon 17 du régulateur est fait d'une pièce avec un
arbre 18 dont les extrémités sont montées à pivot grâce à des pierres 23 dans une
platine 20 et un pont 21, pour tourner autour d'un axe central 22 du régulateur. Un
plateau circulaire 24 est fixé au pignon 17 et s'étend dans un plan perpendiculaire à
l'axe 22. Un corps de régulateur 25 est fixé à la platine 20 par des vis 26 et présente
une surface intérieure cylindrique 27 dont le diamètre est légèrement plus grand que
le diamètre extérieur du plateau 24. On notera que le corps 25 pourrait être formé par
n'importe quelle pièce fixe de la montre, comme par exemple selon le brevet
CH 604 237 cité plus haut.The elements of the
Les figures 2 et 3 représentent la partie rotative du régulateur centrifuge
représenté à la figure 2. Deux masselottes identiques 30 sont montées de manière
mobile sur le plateau rotatif 24. Celui-ci est muni de deux plots d'entraínement 31
occupant des positions diamétralement opposées sur le plateau et ayant chacun un
fût cylindrique 32 qui émerge de la face supérieure 33 du plateau. Chaque plot 31 est
engagé avec un jeu latéral 34 dans un trou cylindrique 35 de la masselotte 30
correspondante, le diamètre du trou 35 étant sensiblement supérieur à celui du fût du
plot 31 afin de permettre à la masselotte de se déplacer sur le plateau, au moins dans
une direction radiale de celui-ci. Pour glisser aisément sur le plateau 24, chaque
masselotte 30 présente plusieurs portées localisées telles que 36, tandis qu'un petit
intervalle 37 est ménagé entre le reste de sa face inférieure et le plateau 24 pour
éviter que la lubrification risque de coller la masselotte sur le plateau. La masselotte
est retenue vers le haut par une rondelle 38 chassée sur l'arbre 18. Un intervalle 39
est ménagé entre les deux masselottes 30 pour leur assurer une liberté de
déplacement suffisante dans le plan du plateau 24. Ainsi, chaque masselotte a la
forme d'un segment de cercle qui couvre presque la moitié du plateau 24.Figures 2 and 3 show the rotating part of the centrifugal regulator
shown in FIG. 2. Two
Deux galets circulaires 40 sont montés de manière rotative sur chaque
masselotte 30, chacun au moyen d'un tenon 41 chassé dans un trou correspondant
de la masselotte, le tenon ayant une tête élargie 42. Chaque galet 40 est disposé
dans un évidement 43 de la masselotte, de façon à se trouver sensiblement au même
niveau que le centre de gravité CG de la masselotte.Two
Chaque galet 40 est fait d'un matériau dur, de préférence une pierre
synthétique telle que le rubis. Dans l'exemple représenté dans les dessins, on
employe des pierres du genre utilisé habituellement dans les paliers des mouvements
d'horlogerie, en particulier avec un évidement concave 44 autour de leur trou central
pour faciliter l'huilage, le cas échéant. Les galets 40 émergent légèrement à la
périphérie des masselottes 30 et sont destinés à s'appuyer en roulant contre la
surface intérieure 27 (figure 2) du corps 25 du régulateur.Each
Quand la sonnerie est mise en action, la roue 16 entraínée à partir du barillet
11 applique un couple moteur au pignon 17, ce qui fait tourner l'arbre 18 et le plateau
24 autour de l'axe 22. Chaque masselotte 30 est entraínée dans cette rotation par le
plot correspondant 31 du plateau et subit donc une force centrifuge FC qui la déplace
radialement vers l'extérieur jusqu'à ce que ses deux galets 40 s'appuient en roulant
contre la surface 27 du corps 25. Le frottement de chaque galet sur le tenon
correspondant 41 freine la rotation du galet et induit, par friction sur la surface 27, une
force tangentielle Ft qui s'oppose à la rotation du plateau 24. Les quatre forces Ft
produisent, par rapport à l'axe 22, un couple résistant qui s'oppose au couple moteur.
La vitesse de rotation du régulateur se stabilise lorsque le couple résistant est égal au
couple moteur.When the ring is put into action, the
Dans la figure 3, on voit que l'espacement des axes respectifs des deux galets
40 d'une masselotte 30 correspond à un angle A, qui est de 90° dans l'exemple
représenté, par rapport à l'axe 22 du régulateur. Ainsi, le total des amplitudes des
forces de réaction radiales Fr exercées sur les deux galets 40 par le corps 25 est plus
grand que l'amplitude de la force centrifuge FC agissant au centre de gravité CG de la
masselotte. Comme la force de réaction tangentielle Ft agissant sur chaque galet est
proportionnelle à Fr, ceci signifie que plus l'angle A est grand, plus le couple de
réaction du régulateur est fort. Autrement dit, espacer l'un de l'autre les deux galets
40 d'une masselotte permet soit d'augmenter le couple résistant du régulateur et donc
diminuer sa vitesse maximale, soit de diminuer le diamètre du régulateur ou la masse
de ses masselottes.In FIG. 3, it can be seen that the spacing of the respective axes of the two
L'appui glissant des galets 40 en pierre synthétique sur les tenons 41, qui sont
de préférence en acier, permet des pressions de contact élevées et une grande
vitesse de rotation avec un coefficient de friction modéré, même sans lubrifiant, de
sorte que l'usure est quasi nulle à cet endroit. Les mêmes conditions prévalent pour le
contact entre les galets 40 et le corps 25. On notera toutefois que les galets 40
pourraient aussi être faits d'un métal approprié, par exemple le cupro-béryllium. Les
masselottes peuvent être faites de n'importe quel matériau suffisamment dense, par
exemple en laiton ou en or. Les autres éléments du régulateur sont réalisés en
matériaux usuels dans le domaine de l'horlogerie.The sliding support of the
La description qui précède montre que l'invention permet de réaliser un régulateur centrifuge de sonnerie ayant une construction simple et capable de fonctionner pratiquement sans usure, même sans lubrification, pendant une très longue durée de service. De plus, un tel régulateur produit très peu de vibrations et de bruit.The foregoing description shows that the invention makes it possible to realize a centrifugal ring regulator having a simple construction and capable of operate virtually without wear, even without lubrication, during a very long service life. In addition, such a regulator produces very little vibration and noise.
Selon une variante, on peut envisager d'avoir un seul galet 40 sur chaque
masselotte 30, par exemple en supprimant le galet le plus éloigné du tenon 31 si l'on
considère la figure 3, de façon que la force centrifuge FC produise une grande force
Fr sur le galet restant grâce à un effet de levier. Toutefois, cela nécessite de renforcer
notablement le pivot formé par le tenon 31.According to one variant, it is conceivable to have a
Un régulateur centrifuge selon l'invention est utilisable avec tout type de sonnerie mécanique.A centrifugal regulator according to the invention can be used with any type of mechanical bell.
