Definitions
- the present invention relates to a timepiece such as a wristwatch of the astronomical type, that is to say a watch capable of indicating the position of a star of the solar system in relation to the Earth and the constellations of the zodiac.
- a watch that meets this definition is described in the patent EP 0 949 549 in the name of the Applicant.
- This watch includes including an hour hand and a minute hand that move over a dial that carries on its periphery a graduation in hours and minutes and inside of it the symbols of the twelve signs of the zodiac.
- This watch also includes a rotating bezel bearing the symbols of the planets of the solar system.
- the minute hand moves to come to the position where it simultaneously indicates the sign of the zodiac in which is the star in question and the position approximation of the latter within said zodiac sign, using the twelve zodiac signs and the graduation in hours and minutes of the dial of the watch. If desired, the user can repeat the same operations for one or more other stars.
- the major disadvantage of the above-mentioned astronomical watch lies in the fact that it is not able to provide information that enables its user to find quickly and simply the position of the star that interests him in the sky.
- this watch only provides an indication of the position of a given star of the solar system in relation to the constellations of the zodiac. If the user wants then to see the star in question in the sky, it will be necessary that he first constellation of the zodiac that has been designated by the watch. This assumes that the user is able to recognize the aggregates of stars corresponding to the different constellations of the zodiac, which is not within the reach of everyone.
- the present invention aims to remedy the aforementioned problem as well as than others by providing a watch, including a wristwatch, which allows a user to know at any time, when he wants, what is the position of a celestial body in the sky and to be able to easily locate the position of this body in the sky, without this requiring the user to special knowledge in astronomy.
- the map of the sky is a representation of the constellations, including the twelve constellations of the zodiac, and visible stars from Earth.
- the present invention provides a watch astronomical that allows the user not only to know the position of a celestial body in relation to the stars and constellations of the Milky Way but to know the position of stars and constellations in the sky.
- the user can, without the need for special knowledge in astronomy, identify the moment he wants it, the position of the celestial body that interests him.
- the astronomical watch allows to locate the position of the planets of the solar system.
- the watch includes an ice cream on a horizon line which indicates to the user at any time the portion of the sky that is visible from where it is.
- the dial of the watch which bears the chart of the sky makes a complete turn in 23h56 '4,09 ".
- the dial of the watch is therefore a complete turn in just under 24 hours, this to take into account that the Earth revolves around the Sun in one year.
- the dial would make a complete turn in 24 hours if one ignored the movement of the Earth around the Sun in a year, but actually requires an adjustment of 3.94 minutes less if we consider that the year equals 365.24 days to hold account of the 0.24 day contribution of leap years.
- the watch is therefore able to determine, at the request of the user, the positions of the different stars of the solar system in relation to constellations on a given date. Of the watch is able to continuously determine the position of the constellations in the sky.
- the present invention proceeds from the general inventive idea of provide an astronomical watch that allows the user to locate, when desire, the position of a celestial body in the sky.
- the astronomical watch according to the invention essentially comprises a rotary dial on which is represented the map of stars and constellations and a pair of needles hours and minutes whose shape is such that their point of intersection or conjunction allows to designate any of the stars or constellations represented on the dial.
- the user After selecting the celestial body he wants to know the position, the user only has to consult the dial of his watch on the point where the hands intersect tells him which constellation is find the celestial body that interests him.
- the fact that the dial bears a representation of the celestial vault visible from where the user is located allows the user to easily spot the position of the celestial body he is looking for in the sky without having need special knowledge in astronomy.
- FIG. 1 shows a particular embodiment of the watch according to the invention.
- the Figure 1 is a wristwatch with an analogue display that includes classic way a box 2 consisting of a middle part 4 to which are attached the two ends or the two strands of a bracelet 6, an ice cream 8 attached to the front of this middle 4 and a bottom, not visible in the drawing, which can be removable or provided a hatch to allow the introduction and replacement of a battery which serves as a source of supply voltage for the watch 1.
- the display means of the watch 1 comprise an hour hand 10 and a minute hand 12 which are driven each by a motor not to not in two directions of rotation and via a suitable gear train.
- a map of the sky 16 is represented 14.
- the chart of the sky 16 shown on the dial 14 corresponds to the ordering of constellations as it is visible at a latitude 45 ° North, with the polar star 18 in the center of the dial 14.
- the polar star 18 in the center of the dial 14.
- the constellations 20, in particular the constellations of the zodiac, are not represented on the dial 14 by their names or by pictograms, but by the aggregates of stars that form.
- the user thus has at all times at his disposal a complete map of the sky as it is visible from where it is and which will be useful to him when he will wish to locate the position of a star of the solar system as will be explained in detail below.
- the Latin names of the twelve constellations of the zodiac are indicated on the periphery of the rotary dial 14. To enable the user to better distinguish constellations of the zodiac, these may be represented in another color or with a thicker line than the other constellations on the map from the sky 16.
- the dial 14 moves next to a fixed graduation 22 graduated in hours and in minutes and bearing a marker 24 placed at noon.
- This graduation 22 surrounds the dial 14 and is carried by a flange.
- the means for selecting a star of the solar system comprise a rod of control 26 provided with a ring 28 and a rotating bezel 30.
- the control rod 26 is a rotary rod that can be moved axially between three positions, namely a stable neutral position which corresponds to the normal operation of the watch, a position drawn equally stable and a unstable thrust position in which a return spring constantly tends to return the rod to the neutral position.
- the axial and rotational movements of the rod 26 are transformed by switches into characteristic electrical signals that are sent to a unit of control 32 (see Figure 3) of the watch 1.
- these electrical signals are pulse trains that allow the control unit to determine in which meaning the rod is rotated and if the rotational speed is less than or greater than a certain value, in other words if the stem is turned slowly or quickly.
- the rotating bezel 30 is arranged so that the fixed graduation 22 is disposed concentrically between the rotary dial 14 and said bezel 30.
- This telescope 30 bears the symbols of the Sun in 34, the Moon in 36 and the different planets of the solar system in 38 including the Earth in 40.
- the position of the telescope 30 can be detected by any device known connected to the control unit 32, as for example that described in the document EP-A-0 738 944 and which is constituted by magnets included in the telescope and reed contacts placed inside the watch 1.
- the needles 10 and 12 have a shape such that they can form a point of intersection above virtually anything which points of the dial or a conjunction of their spikes opposite one of these points. It is thus possible to address a particular point of the dial in controlling the movement of the 10-hour and 12-minute hands for bring in intersection or conjunction above this particular point.
- the European patent application Applicant's name registered under the number 02080624.6 and which is included here for reference.
- the particular shape of the hands of the watch 1 according to the invention is used to precisely designate the point of the sky represented on the rotary dial 14 where is the star of the solar system selected by the user.
- an oval is postponed by any appropriate means such that, for example, by trimming, on the inner face of the ice 8.
- This oval represents the skyline 42 that delineates the visible part of the sky from where is the user of the watch at a given time.
- the horizon line is calculated for a north latitude of approximately 45 °, which allows the watch to be used with a good accuracy in North America, Europe and Asia.
- Initializing the position of the 10 and 12 minute hands is performed by first turning the telescope 30 to bring the symbol of the Sun 34 to noon, that is to say opposite the marker 24 carried by the fixed graduation 22. Press then the ring 28 for a long enough time, for example greater than 10 seconds, until the needles 10, 12 move, then the crown 28 is pulled correction position. The ring 28 is then rotated clockwise to bring the hour hand 10 at noon and counter-clockwise to bring minute hand 12 also at noon. Finally, the crown 28 is pushed back into normal position of rest.
- the initialization of the position of the hands 10, 12 and the rotary dial 14 can also operate automatically.
- the hour wheel and the wheel minutes each include a tray with a peripheral toothing.
- a device for detecting the angular position of the hour and minute wheels comprises a magnetic or capacitive sensor whose detection element, namely a spiral flat coil, used to detect a variation in the presence of the material, in particular a conductive metal constituting the plate.
- the trays present each at least one aperture whose angular position is determined by the detection device.
- the detection device briefly described above is enabled.
- the openings made in the hour and minute wheels position themselves above the detection members with a precision of one step, then the hour and minute hands are driven at noon.
- the position of the rotary dial 14 can be initialized in a manner similar to that of the needles 10, 12.
- the rotary dial 14 is made of a material molded plastic and includes a metal plate whose presence is detected by an inductive sensor mounted on a printed circuit board better known as its Anglo-Saxon name "Printed Circuit Board” or "PCB".
- the precision of the positioning of the rotary dial 14 which carries the chart of the sky 16 is a function of the precise positioning of the metal plate and the inductive sensor.
- said bezel comprises a certain number of permanent magnets, while magnetic switches of the type REED contacts are arranged in the box of the watch. Permanent magnets determine the open or closed binary state of the magnetic switches.
- the particular arrangement of REED contacts and permanent magnets that at each angular position of the rotating bezel corresponds an arrangement particular, different from the others, states of the REED contacts, which allows a unambiguous identification of the angular position occupied by the telescope 30.
- the control unit 32 of the watch 1 needs to know the current time of the place where find the user.
- control unit 32 To be able to correctly orient the chart of the sky 16, the control unit 32 also needs to know the current date. We will first examine the mode reading the date and then the correction mode thereof.
- the control unit 32 of the watch 1 is able to properly orient the map of the sky 16.
- the control unit 32 has a memory 46 (see Figure 3) which is a non-volatile memory programmed by the manufacturer of the watch and in which are stored the parameters for stars and constellations, including constellations of the zodiac, and the relative movements of the stars of the solar system in relation to the Earth that the control unit needs.
- memory 46 also contains all the data necessary for the control unit 32 which is also programmed for that.
- the watch comprises (see FIG. 3) a time base 48, a circuit of determination of the current time and date 50, the control unit 32 to which associated is the data memory 46, a control circuit of the display 52, a display system 54 formed by the hour and minute hands 10 and 12, a manual control system 56 comprising the rod 26 and the telescope 30 and a DC power supply source, for example a battery, not shown.
- the time base 48 which provides a standard frequency signal to the circuit of determining the time and date 50 can be advantageously constituted by a quartz oscillator like the one used in the usual way in electronic watches and that is formed by a quartz resonator and a circuit electronic maintenance that allows to vibrate this resonator at a frequency determined.
- the current time and date determination circuit 50 includes a frequency divider as well as counters of minutes, hours, days of the months, months and years.
- the circuit 50 contains the means necessary for, on the one hand, take into account the months of 28, 29, 30 and 31 days, ie for the watch to be provided with a perpetual calendar and, on the other hand, to allow corrections of the time and date through the Control Unit 32 at which circuit is connected.
- circuit 50 is also designed to provide the control unit 32 and, through it, to the control circuit of the display 52, all the signals periodicals produced by its frequency divider and which these need to fulfill their different functions.
- Unit 32 there is the one of determining at the user request the positions of different stars of the solar system other than the Earth, with respect to the latter and to the stars and constellations and this to the current date.
- the needles 10, 12 display the current time.
- the motors that drive the hour hand 10 and minute hand 12 provide 180 pulses for a full turn of the fixed scale 22.
- the minute hand 12 therefore receives a driving pulse every 20 seconds, while the needle of hours 10 receives a driving pulse every 240 seconds.
- the position of these needles 10, 12 is counted by means of two counters, respectively hours and minutes, whose content is incremented in steps of a unit from 0 to 179.
- the binary signals that represent the content of these counters therefore allow the control unit 32 of the watch 1 to know any time the position of the hour and minute hands 10, 12 relative to the position occupied by these same needles 10, 12 during initialization.
- the rotary dial 14 meanwhile, is driven by a gear train whose gear ratio is close to 1000, which means that the dial has to perform 1000 steps to complete a complete turn on itself.
- the report of gear ratio is chosen high so that the dial 14 presents a better resistance to rotary shocks.
- a gear ratio is well adapted to drive the dial 14 which is relatively heavy and which must overcome significant frictional forces.
- a counter counts the position of the rotary dial 14, in other words, the map of the sky 16, relative to the position that it occupied during the initialization step.
- the hour hand 10 has a heart shape which deviates from the usual shapes of the watch hands. This configuration particular allows the hour hand 10 to have with the minute hand 12, whatever its angular position on the rotary dial 14, a point of intersection which allows to designate any point on the surface of said dial 14.
- the user when the user chooses one of the stars of the solar system (to the exception of the Earth that is used for the date) represented on the bezel turn 30 and bring it up at noon, then it will exert a brief pressure on the 28, the point of intersection of the needles 10, 12 will indicate the position of the star on the map of the sky 16. It will then remain for the user to look at the dial 14 of his watch 1 by raising his arm and making sure the North geographical area is behind him (see figure 2) to identify the position of the solar system that interests him in the sky. In this, the user will be helped by the line horizon 42 materialized on the ice 8 which indicates the part of the sky that is visible from where he is at the time he does the consultation.
- the control unit 32 In order to be able to locate the position of the body selected, the control unit 32 has the current date which will enable him to calculate the position occupied by the said compared to the constellations for that date.
- the position of the selected star is located on the surface of the dial 14 by its polar coordinates, namely an angle and a ray.
- the position counter of the sky chart 16 then indicates to the unit of control 32 the position of said card 16 and allows him to calculate the position to give to the needles to bring them to the desired point of the dial 14.
