Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of mechanical watchmaking. It relates, more particularly, to a power reserve indicator mechanism of a mechanical watch movement, that is to say a mechanism for providing information on the amount of mechanical energy stored in the mainspring contained in his barrel CH 685 963 shows a timepiece that is driven by a high energy source consisting of two barrels in series.
  • a power reserve indicator mechanism of a mechanical watch movement that is to say a mechanism for providing information on the amount of mechanical energy stored in the mainspring contained in his barrel CH 685 963 shows a timepiece that is driven by a high energy source consisting of two barrels in series.
  • each barrel is equipped with a differential which one of the input mobile is coupled to the respective barrel shaft and the other mobile input is connected to the mobile of corresponding entry of the other barrel.
  • the two input mobiles are coupled together to the outer toothing of the cylinder which is engaged with the input wheel of the finishing train of the part.
  • such a mechanism comprises a power reserve indicator and a differential gear with a first input movable (ratchet) rotated during the clamping of the spring, a second input movable rotated during the disarming of the spring and an output mobile connected to the power reserve indicator, driving it in a first direction during winding and in a second direction during disarming.
  • the indicator is likely to traverse a given angle between two extreme positions, the first of which is occupied when the spring is fully armed and the second when it is completely disarmed.
  • the display thus procured does not translate sufficiently clearly the decrease in the amount of energy stored.
  • the visual effect is, in fact, substantially the same as if the movement had a single large capacity spring whose power reserve indicator would be divided into two synchronous displays.
  • the present invention aims to provide a power reserve indicator mechanism for displaying information on the amount of energy stored in the movement of the mainspring by means of several independent indicators.
  • the mechanism further comprises a counting member driven by the differential output mobile, each display train being moved successively by the counting member to respectively indicate complementary lower and upper fractions of the spring power reserve.
  • the counting member comprises a wheel performing a revolution in a period substantially equal to the walking capacity provided by the spring.
  • the first cylinder is kinematically coupled to a second cylinder.
  • the second board of the wheel of the counting member may be toothed on half of its periphery and the points of engagement of this board with the display trains are diametrically opposed.
  • the first and second display trains are respectively arranged to indicate when the power reserve is between 0 and 50% and between 50 and 100% of the walking capacity.
  • FIG 2 illustrates an exemplary implementation of the invention applied to a movement with first and second barrels 10a and 10b.
  • the plate and the bridges between which the various mobiles are pivoted have not been represented since this is a normal knowledge of the person skilled in the art.
  • the two barrels 10a-10b are kinematically connected by their toothing 12a-12b by means of an intermediate mobile 15. They drive the finishing gear of the movement (not shown) which, in a conventional manner, can mesh with any part of the chain formed by these three mobiles.
  • the first barrel 10a is provided with a differential 16 mounted on its shaft 13a. It comprises, from the bottom to the top, a first mobile input (hidden in the drawing by others), called ratchet, rotated, in a conventional manner, when winding the springs, a second mobile input 17 rotated during their disarming, as will appear later, and an output mobile 18.
  • a first mobile input hidden in the drawing by others
  • ratchet rotated, in a conventional manner, when winding the springs
  • a second mobile input 17 rotated during their disarming, as will appear later
  • an output mobile 18 an output mobile 18.
  • the mobile 18 of the differential meshes with a wheel 19 frictionally mounted on its axis and whose pinion 20 is engaged with a counting wheel 21. It comprises a lower plate 22 provided with teeth all around its periphery and meshing with the pinion 20, and an upper board 23 with a similar toothing, but only on a sector of 180 °.
  • the gear ratio between the first barrel 10a and the counting wheel 21 is determined so that this wheel performs a revolution in a time equal to the walking capacity of the movement.
  • the upper board 23 meshes with a wheel 24 frictionally mounted on its axis and whose pinion 25 is disposed beneath it, in the plane of the lower board 22 of the counting wheel 21.
  • This pinion 25 drives, via a reference 26, a first display mobile 27 which will be described later in detail.
  • the first set of display will be called the assembly constituted by the friction wheel 24, the pinion 25, the reference 26 and the mobile 27.
  • the upper board 23 also meshes with an intermediate wheel 28, the pinion 29 of which is disposed beneath it in the plane of the lower board 22, meshes with a second display unit 30.
  • the second set of displays will be called the assembly constituted by the wheel 28, the pinion 29 and the second display mobile 30.
  • the display mobiles 27 and 30 each consist of a wheel 31a-31b respectively engaged with the return 26 and the pinion 29 of the first and second display trains.
  • Each mobile 27 and 30 carries an indicator needle 32a-32b moving between a first and a second extreme positions.
  • the wheels 31a-31b are pierced with circular openings 33a-33b delimited by arms 34a-34b.
  • Pins 35 integral with the plate or a bridge of the movement take place in these openings and serve as stops on one side and the other of the opening, stopping the stroke of the needles in their extreme positions.
  • the gear ratio of the first and second display trains is determined in such a way that the needles go from a first to a second extreme position when the counting wheel 21 is rotated 180 ° by driving, respectively, the wheel 24. and the wheel 28.
  • Each display unit 27 and 30 is further provided with a return spring 36a-36b, for example a spiral spring fixed on one side to one of the pins 35 and, on the other hand, to the wheel 31a. 31b.
  • a return spring 36a-36b for example a spiral spring fixed on one side to one of the pins 35 and, on the other hand, to the wheel 31a. 31b.
  • the first display mobile 27 cooperates with a first angular dial 37 in which the needle 32a moves to indicate, in its first and second extreme positions, the 0 and 50% of the power reserve. At rest, the needle indicates 50%.
  • the second mobile display 30 cooperates, meanwhile, with a second angular dial 38 in which the needle 32b moves to indicate, in its first and second extreme positions, the 50 and 100% of the power reserve. At rest, the needle indicates 50%.
  • the intermediate mobile 15 is provided with a pinion gear 39 connected kinematically to the second mobile input 17 of the differential by two referrals 40 and 41.
  • the mobile 15 being driven by the two barrels 10a-10b, the mobile 17 is well trained in rotation when disarming springs.
  • the mechanism is adjusted so that the counting wheel 21 is engaged, at the end of the toothed sector of the board 23, with the second display train 28-29-30.
  • the indicator needle 32b indicates 100% on the dial 38, thus maintained by meshing with the wheel 21.
  • the first display train is not in engagement with the counting wheel 21.
  • the indicator needle 32a is held in its rest position by the spring 36a and indicates 50% on the dial 37. This situation is illustrated on the figure 3a .
  • the two barrels 10a and 10b disarm jointly, driving the finishing gear of the movement and the mobile output 18 of the differential 16 in a first direction.
  • the counting wheel 21 rotates, meshing with the board 22.
  • the board 23 then actuates the second display train 28-29-30, which moves the pointer 32b in the dial 38 and relaxes the spring 36b.
  • the first display train 24-25-26-27 remains stationary and the needle 32a is fixed at the 50% position, held by the spring 36a.
  • needle 32b changes in its dial 38. Then, when the counting wheel 21 has rotated 180 °, that is to say that the amount of energy stored has halved, needle 32b indicates 50% ( figure 3b ).
  • the board 23 leaves the contact of the second display train, the spring now the needle 32b to the 50% position.
  • the board 23 then drives the first display train and rotates the mobile 27, compressing the spring 36a.
  • the indicator needle 32a moves on its dial indicating from 50 to 0%.
  • the wearer of the watch must then manually raise the barrels 10a and 10b by a traditional winding and well known to those skilled in the art. During this operation, the ratchet rotates and drives the output mobile 18 in its second direction.
  • the counting wheel 21 thus turns, too, in the opposite direction to what has been described above. It rotates, by the toothed sector of its board 23, first the first display train.
  • the needle 32a returns to its initial position 50% and is held by the spring 36a when the wheel 24 is no longer engaged with the board 23. Then, it meshes with the wheel 28 and returns the needle 32b to its original position ( figure 3a ), keeping it in place by this meshing.
  • the friction wheels 19 and 24 present in the mechanism are there to avoid this problem, which could occur in case of slight maladjustment.
  • the carrier raises the barrels 10a-10b, if the needle 32a has reached the extreme position in which it indicates 50% and that the board 23 is still engaged with the wheel 24, then, the mobile 27 being in abutment the wheel 24 pivots frictionally on its axis, while the counting wheel 21 continues its rotation.
  • the carrier can continue reassembly, the counting wheel 21 then driving the second display train.
  • the carrier continues to raise the barrels while the needle 32b has reached the extreme position in which it indicates 100%, then, the mobile 30 being in abutment, it is the wheel 19 which pivots friction on its axis.
  • the wearer can continue reassembly, without the counting wheel becoming disfigured from the display.
  • the friction of the wheel 19 must be harder than that of the wheel 24, so that, when the first display mobile 27 is in abutment, the friction does not occur upstream of the counting wheel 21, which would prevent to train the second train of display.
  • the needle 32b indicates 50% and the needle 32a approaches 0. If, when it reaches this value and the wheel 31a is abutting on one of the pins 35a, the barrels continue to rotate, the wheel 19 rotates friction to allow the movement to operate for some time, without discomposing the display trains and the counting wheel 21.
  • the invention can be directly applied to a movement having only one cylinder, but which one would like to display the power reserve in two dials.
  • the meshing of the counting wheel with one or the other of the display trains may, particularly in the case of a movement with a cylinder, be associated with any power reserve fraction. For example, if the chronometric conditions are satisfied when the power reserve is greater than 10%, then the hand of the first dial indicates the amount of energy between 100 and 10%, while that of the second dial indicates the remaining amount.
  • the skilled person can change the importance of the toothed sector of the board 23 by adjusting the relative position of the meshing points of the display trains with this board. If the movement does not move the display trains, another solution is to add to the wheel 22, an additional board which, like the board 23, is partially toothed. Each partially toothed board meshes with one of the display trains. Their drive is adjusted by the relative positioning of the toothed sectors of these boards.
  • gear ratios of the display trains are adapted accordingly for the needle to scan the entire dial for the duration of its movement.
  • the indicator hands can be held in their rest position by various spring systems other than a spiral spring
  • the display can be done by means other than a needle
  • the counting function could, in particular, be obtained with a cam system and probe.
