Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an annual calendar mechanism for a watch movement comprising a calendar mobile with 31 teeth, a jumper engaged with its toothing, a satellite of the months, whose axis of rotation is integral with this mobile of dates and which has five teeth for driving a pitch of twelve steps for months of less than 31 days, a fixed planetary toothing, coaxial with the mobile dates, in desmodromic connection with the satellite months and a drive member the mobile dates in driving connection with the hour wheel of the watch movement and having two drive fingers, the first cutting the trajectory of the tooth of the mobile dates, the second cutting the trajectory of the toothing of the satellite months when its axis of revolution is aligned with those of the planetary toothing, the drive member and the mobile dates.
  • Such an annual calendar mechanism associated with a perpetual calendar mechanism, is described in the EP 1 351 104 .
  • This mechanism comprises a month satellite whose pivot axis is integral with a date wheel which makes a turn per month.
  • This month satellite has twelve teeth, seven of which are truncated and five are not truncated.
  • the twelve teeth of this satellite meshes with fixed planetary toothing of seven teeth, coaxial with the date wheel.
  • this twenty-four hour wheel has twenty-four teeth, twenty of which are truncated and among the other four, one is a normal drive tooth that engages with the date wheel once a day and another is an annual correction tooth, shifted parallel to its axis of rotation, to engage with one of the five uncut teeth of the satellite for months whenever the month is less than thirty-one days old.
  • one of the five uncut teeth of the month satellite covers one of the teeth of the date wheel and is located in the trajectory of a correction tooth of the wheel which makes a turn in twenty- four hours, so that by turning, the correction tooth of this wheel, shifted parallel to its axis of rotation, rotates the satellite months, which is in engagement with the fixed planetary toothing, rotates the wheel of the days before that the normal drive finger of this twenty-four hour wheel rotates the date wheel one step, as it does with each rotation, so that the date wheel is moved two steps for a turn of the twenty-four hour wheel.
  • This mechanism has the advantage of avoiding cam and lever devices such as those described in FIG. CH 685 585 or in the EP 987609 , which use energy, are difficult to develop and are therefore unreliable.
  • this mechanism has a major disadvantage arising from the fact that the month satellite works on a first pitch circle with the fixed planetary toothing, while it works on a second pitch circle, larger than the first, with the drive teeth of the twenty-four hour wheel.
  • This larger pitch diameter is needed to prevent the drive teeth of the 24-hour wheel from coming into contact with the truncated teeth of the satellite of the months. Therefore, the penetration between the teeth of the twenty-four hour wheel in the satellite toothing of months is low, as well as the angular value of the led.
  • Such a mechanism is therefore not very reliable and is at least extremely difficult to develop, leading to retouches piece by piece.
  • a further disadvantage of this solution comes from the fact that when the axis of revolution of the satellite months is aligned with the respective axes of revolution of the planetary toothing and the wheel of twenty-four hours, the satellite is between them, in so that the training of this satellite is done on a portion of its toothing located furthest from the center of the date wheel by the twenty-four hour wheel located outside this date wheel, which reduces the at least a lead angle, the penetration and the lead angle being already reduced because the pitch diameter between this twenty-four hour wheel and the month satellite is enlarged relative to the pitch diameter between this satellite and the planetary gear. .
  • the realization and development of such a mechanism is therefore problematic and its reliability is low.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome, at least in part, the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • the present invention relates to a date mechanism according to claim 1.
  • the essential advantage of this invention stems from the fact that the presence of two coaxial satellites each of which fulfills a distinct function allows each of them to work. with normal toothings, each toothing working only on a single primitive circle, the respective primitive circles of the two mobiles meshing with each other being tangent. These gear conditions allow the teeth to have optimal penetrations, so the angles of operations capable of producing a reliable drive, which is not the case when working near the ends of the teeth.
  • the axis of revolution of the drive member of the mobile dates when aligned with the respective axes of revolution of the satellites and the planetary toothing, is located between their axes of revolution.
  • the second satellite has a diameter substantially greater than that of the satellite of the months.
  • the training of the satellite of the months by the correction finger is carried out on a smaller pitch radius than that of the second satellite. Thanks to this particularity, the meaning of rotation of the satellites during their drive by the second drive finger is the same as that of the drive member carrying said second finger.
  • the mobile month of the month bearing the satellite of the month is a ring or disc coaxial date in the center of the watch movement, thus allowing to have organs of larger dimensions with a remote mechanism.
  • the arrangement of the satellites on the date mobile reduces the number of parts, no referral being necessary between the annual calendar mechanism and the date mobile.
  • the date mobile has the shape of a ring.
  • the date mechanism object of the invention comprises a mobile dates which is preferably in the form of a date ring 1 also called date disc.
  • the inner edge of this date ring 1 comprises 31 teeth positioned by a jumper spring 2.
  • the daily drive of this date ring is performed by a drive finger 3a integral with a drive member 3 secured to an instantaneous jump cam 4 connected to a wheel 5 by means of a pin 4a engaged with an opening in an arc of circle 5a formed in the wheel 5.
  • This wheel 5 is driven at the rate of one turn in twenty- four hours by the hour wheel 6 of the watch movement and via a mobile 6a.
  • a rocker 7 is applied against the periphery of the instantaneous jump cam 4 by a spring 8 intended to rotate the cam 4 sharply in the clockwise direction as soon as it reaches the end of the winding ramp. 4b of the spring 8 to drive the drive member 3 of the date ring 1.
  • a planetary toothing 9 is fixed to the frame of the clockwork movement, concentrically to the date ring 1.
  • a planet gear 10 whose number of teeth is twelve or, preferably, a multiple of twelve is mounted pivoting about an axis integral with the date ring 1.
  • This pinion gear 10 is constantly engaged with the planetary gear 9, forming with it a simple epicyclic gear that makes one turn per month.
  • a second satellite gear of months 11 having only five teeth out of twelve is integral and coaxial with the pinion satellite 10.
  • the diameter of the satellite pinion months 11 is less than that of the pinion satellite 10.
  • the drive member 3 carries a second finger 3b offset, on the one hand angularly, forwardly relative to the direction of rotation corresponding to that of the watch hands of this drive member 3, on the other hand parallel to its axis of rotation.
  • This second finger 3b of the drive member 3 constitutes a correction finger intended to drive the date ring 1 by one additional step at the end of each month of less than 31 days.
  • the principle on which the correction mechanism operates is to bring the 30 of each month less than 31 days one of the five teeth of the satellite gear 11 months substantially in alignment with the line joining the respective axes of revolution of the sun gear 9, the drive member 3 of the mobile of dates 1 and satellites 10, 11, as illustrated in FIG. 2.
  • this satellite 11 is integral with the larger diameter satellite 10 which is in engagement with the sun gear 9 and, on the other hand, that the drive member 3 is situated between the axis of revolution of the sun gear 9 and the axis of revolution of the satellites 10, 11, the displacement of the satellite 11 by the correction finger 3b results in a rotation of this satellite 11 in the direction of the hands of the watch, that is to say say in the same direction as the drive member 3.
  • This gear that can be described as pseudo-paradoxal increases the contact angle between the correction finger 3b and the pinion 11, improving safety displacement and ensuring that the date ring 1 will not be brought back by the jumper 2, but on the contrary, that it will complete the drive of the date ring by moving it in the direction of the needles of the shows.
  • the components of the date mechanism are in the position illustrated in FIG. 3, that is to say that the date ring 1 has been advanced by one step at 31.
  • the normal training finger 3a that takes over and moves the disc as it does every twenty-four hours, to bring the "1" of the following month into the wicket 13 whose position is indicated in phantom.
  • the first condition to fulfill is obviously that the satellite 10 which represents the months, has a number of teeth corresponding to twelve or a multiple of twelve. With regard to the satellite of the five-toothed months distributed over a twelve-step pinion, its five teeth must be either arranged on five consecutive steps or chronologically distributed, as are the months of less than thirty-one days and the months thirty-one days or in reverse chronology.
  • the respective numbers of teeth of the satellite 10 and the sun gear 9 are chosen as large as possible, which reduces the angular clearance of the planet pinion 10 and therefore that of the satellite pinion months to five teeth 11.
  • the sun gear has 123 teeth while the pinion gear 10 has 36.
  • the five teeth of the satellite gear 11 months will have to be distributed, not grouped as in the example shown, but separated by gaps equal to one or two not, according as the month of less than thirty-one days is followed by one or two months of thirty-one days, as is the case of June and November.
  • the number of revolutions of the satellites 10, 11 per revolution of the mobile of the dates 1 will be equal, either to a number of whole revolutions more 1/12 th of a turn, or to a whole number of revolutions plus 11/12 th turn, according to which the five teeth of the satellite gear follow one another chronologically as the months in the year or as the inverse of the months in the year.
  • Figure 4 illustrates the angular position of the five teeth of the satellite gear 11 months at the end of a month of 31 days, here the month of March. It can be seen that none of the five teeth of the planet gear 11 is in the trajectory of the correction finger 3b. Therefore, when the instantaneous jump rocker 7 will turn the fingers 3a and 3b through the cam 4, the finger 3b will not encounter a tooth of the planet pinion 11 and only the finger 3a will cause a step date ring 1, bringing the "31" into the window 13.
