Definitions

  • the present invention relates to automatic watches. It relates more particularly to the oscillating masses.
  • the automatic watches comprise a movement provided with a time base, a gear synchronized by the time base, an energy accumulator, generally a cylinder, feeding the time base and ensuring the drive train, and an automatic mechanism providing energy to the energy store.
  • this mechanism comprises an oscillating mass, pivotally mounted on the frame of the movement by means of a bearing, an inverter transforming the reciprocating movement of the mass into a rotational movement in one direction, and a winding gear, which is of reduction type driven by the inverter.
  • the oscillations of the mass generated by the movements of the wearer of the watch, thus ensure the rotational drive of the winding train, which cooperates with the barrel to arm the spring.
  • the oscillating mass is arranged to carry a bearing, for example a ball bearing, which defines an axis of rotation. It comprises a mass member having a center of gravity offset with respect to the axis of rotation.
  • the mass member is generally designed to generate a maximum torque. It is made of heavy material, frequently gold or platinum in high-end watches. It includes, at its periphery, a sector of inertia defining the important part of its mass, and a board connecting the sector to the landing.
  • the oscillating mass generates a torque which is essentially a function of the mass of the sector and the position of its center of gravity, with reference to the axis of rotation.
  • This torque is applied to the first mobile of the winding gear through the inverter.
  • the rate of reduction of the gear train forming the winding gear defines the torque finally applied to the mainspring.
  • the document CH 317534 discloses an oscillating mass having two removable parts relative to each other.
  • the movements of the arm bring the mass into imbalance and it is the terrestrial acceleration that defines the torque. If it is a very active person, the accelerations can be significantly higher.
  • the winding mechanisms are chosen so that they ensure winding conditions of the spring for a normally active person. As a result, with a very active carrier the mainspring is strongly stressed and a risk of wear can not be excluded. If, on the contrary, the carrier is very calm, the mainspring is not sufficiently armed.
  • the first part of the oscillating mass comprises, in addition, a board, arranged to carry the bearing, and a sector of inertia.
  • This board extends from the center, which is provided with a hole in which is engaged the landing, towards the periphery which carries the sector of inertia.
  • the second portion is formed of at least one feeder pivotally mounted on the sector.
  • the fixing device comprises indexing means arranged to position the weight in a finite number of predefined positions in which the fixing device ensures the maintenance of the weight when it is in its second state, while it allows the passage from one to the other of these positions when it is in its first state.
  • the second part comprises two flyweights.
  • one of the weights can occupy a n finite number of defined positions so that the passage of said weight from one to the other of them generates a radial displacement the center of gravity of a value ⁇ G, and in that the second weight is arranged so as to occupy a number m of positions whose passage from one to the other of them causes a radial displacement of the center of gravity of a value ⁇ g, said weights being arranged so that the product m. ⁇ g is substantially equal to ⁇ G.
  • the moment of inertia of the mass decreases with the generated torque.
  • the second part of the mass also comprises a board and a sector of inertia, arranged side by side respectively of the board and the sector of the first part.
  • the fixing device is arranged so as to allow a displacement relative of the second part with reference to the first part by rotation about the axis of the oscillating mass.
  • the mass represented on the figure 1 comprises a board 10 comprising a central portion 10a of generally annular shape, provided with a central opening 10b for receiving a bearing 12 partially shown, for example a ball bearing, and arms 10c extending radially outwardly.
  • the central opening 10b is circular, defined by a circle of axis AA.
  • the plate 10 In its central portion 10a, the plate 10 carries, arranged in a ring, threaded rods 13 intended to secure the bearing 12 by means of bolts 14.
  • the arms 10c are connected by an annular portion 10d of center disposed on the axis A-A. It is provided with three holes in which are engaged screws 16a.
  • An inertia sector 18, in the form of an annular portion, is provided with five threaded feet 20. It is fixed to the board 10 by means of the screws 16a engaged in three of the threaded feet 20. It is advantageously made of heavy material, for example example in gold or platinum in high-end watches, brass for more common products. It extends over an angle of about 180 °. The function of the other two threaded feet 20 will be specified later.
  • the board 10 is secured to the sector 18 only at an angle of about 90 °, by its annular portion 10d.
  • the edges of the arms 10c connecting the portion central 10a at the annular portion 10d are also in arcs of circles whose centers are each at one end of the sector 18, coinciding with the centers of the two other threaded feet 20. These edges each carry six threaded feet 22, distributed regularly.
  • Weights 24 are mounted one on each of the end legs. They have a generally circular sector shape and comprise, at the top 24a of the sector, a cylindrical hole in which is engaged the threaded foot 20, a screw 16b ensuring the axial retention. The opposite side is provided with a finger 24b having an opening intended to be engaged in one or other of the threaded feet 22. A nut 26 is screwed on the foot 22 to maintain the weight 24 by its finger 24b.
  • the inertial sector 18 and the board 10 form a first part of a mass member, and the weights 24 a second part, the center of gravity of this member being in G.
  • the screws 16, the threaded feet 20 and the threaded feet 22, and the nuts 26 take the place of a fixing device, which allows or not, depending on whether its components are in a unscrewed or screwed state, the displacement of the flyweights 24 with reference to the sector of inertia 18 and the board 10.
  • the threaded feet provide indexing of the weights 24, so that they can occupy a fixed number of positions.
  • Torque adjustment can be performed by any watchmaker trained for this purpose. To guarantee optimal working conditions, a first adjustment can be made at the time of sale of the watch, by qualifying the person for whom it is intended with reference to its physical activities, both professional and leisure. On this basis, the instructions for use of the watch define the position in which the flyweights must be located. After a few days of wearing, it is possible to control that the chosen position is the right one. To make the adjustment, simply unscrew the screws 16b and nuts 26 to move the flyweights 24, then screw them back when these weights 24 are in the chosen position.
  • weights that do not have the same characteristics.
  • One of them can occupy a finite number n of positions, defined such that the passage from one to the other of them results in a radial displacement of the center of gravity of a value .DELTA.G.
  • the second weight is arranged so as to occupy a number m of positions whose passage from one to the other of them generates a radial displacement of the center of gravity of a value ⁇ g.
  • the weights are dimensioned so that the product m. ⁇ g is substantially equal to ⁇ G. In this way, it is possible to make an accurate correction.
  • the adjustment can be made particularly easy in a watch with a power reserve. It is then sufficient to establish a correlation between the displacement of the weights and the degree of winding of the spring.
  • This mass comprises first and second parts 32 and 34 each comprising a plate and a sector of inertia respectively referenced 36 and 38 for the first part 32, 40 and 42 for the second part 34.
  • the boards 36 and 40 have a generally circular sector shape, with an apex angle of approximately 45 °.
  • the top portion is cut to form an annular portion identified by the letter a , embracing an angle of about 200 ° for the portion 36a and about 90 ° for the portion 40a, as can be seen on the Figure 2c .
  • These portions are pierced with holes identified by the letter b , three oblong holes in the portion 36a and two cylindrical holes in the portion 40a.
  • the two boards are joined to each other by means of a fixing device comprising a clamping ring 44 provided with tapped holes 44a and disposed beneath the portions 36a and 40a, a cover 46 placed above the portions 36a and 40a, provided with cylindrical holes 46a aligned with the holes 44a, and screws 48 freely engaged in the holes of the cover 46 and annular portions 36a and 40a, and clamped in the tapped holes 44a of the clamping ring 44.
  • a fixing device comprising a clamping ring 44 provided with tapped holes 44a and disposed beneath the portions 36a and 40a, a cover 46 placed above the portions 36a and 40a, provided with cylindrical holes 46a aligned with the holes 44a, and screws 48 freely engaged in the holes of the cover 46 and annular portions 36a and 40a, and clamped in the tapped holes 44a of the clamping ring 44.
  • the board 36 is provided with oblong holes, it is possible to move it angularly with reference to the board 40, around an axis corresponding to the pivot axis AA of the mass, if the screws 48 are loosened.
  • the boards 36 and 40 are each pierced with three holes identified by the letter c , practiced on the periphery of the circle sector. Their function will be specified later,
  • the sectors of inertia 38 and 42 each comprise an annular portion, identified by the letter a and embracing an angle of about 80 °, and a bearing surface b attached to the annular portion a in its concave portion.
  • the span b which extends about 45, serves as support for the board. It is provided with two cylindrical holes identified by the letter c , in which are engaged, for each of them, a clamping pin 50, which is provided with a threaded hole.
  • Two screws 52 are engaged in two of the holes c of the boards 36 and 40 and in the tenons 50 in which they are tightened.
  • the boards 36 and 40 are, in this way, respectively integral sectors 38 and 42.
  • the sectors 38 and 42 could also be made of a part respectively with the boards 36 and 40, or welded to each other.
  • the fixing device further comprises a stiffening arm 54, in the form of an annular portion embracing an angle of about 90 °, disposed in the extension of the bearing surfaces 38b and 42b.
  • This arm comprises two oblong openings 54a each disposed facing the third hole of the boards.
  • a screw 56 cooperating with a nut 58, is engaged in each of these holes and in the holes 36c and 40c not occupied by the screws 52, so that by tightening the screw and its nut, it is possible to rigidly in solidarity with both parties.
  • the mass according to the invention has two moving parts one with reference to the other, their displacement inducing a radial position change of its center of gravity, it is possible to optimize the working conditions automatic watches, and thus obtain optimal performance for a minimum volume, and whatever the conditions imposed by the wearer.
