Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hairspring, intended in particular to be integrated in the balance-sprung adjusting device of a timepiece, whose curve inside is modified to allow a concentric expansion of the turns and thus improve the isochronism of said timepiece.
  • the invention relates more particularly to both the conformation of the curve inside and the choice of materials to make the curve inside and all the turns.
  • point of attachment the so-called "point of attachment" rule to form the curve inside a spiral according to a particular contour, and in particular according to the Grossmann curve.
  • all turns have previously been formed by the known technique of strapping, it is necessary to use a highly skilled labor, so that this solution is reserved for high-precision timepieces, high-end and for limited series, but is in no case applicable to mass production.
  • the present invention therefore aims to provide a new solution by providing a hairspring that can be manufactured industrially while having the qualities of a Grossmann inner curve hairspring whose influence on a concentric expansion of the hairspring is greater than that resulting from the conformation of the curve on the outside.
  • the subject of the invention is a self-compensating hairspring for a balance-spring balance device, said hairspring being constituted by a first assembly, comprising the turns and the curve on the outside, made of a first material having a torque resilient little or not sensitive to variations in elongation, temperature and magnetic field, and by a second assembly integral with the first assembly, including in particular the curve inside, made of a second material chosen mainly for its mechanical properties facilitating the conformation of said curve inside according to the contour most favorable to a concentric expansion of the spiral.
  • This contour may for example be a Grossmann curve.
  • the known methods can be used, but the LIGA method of photolithography and galvanic growth is preferably used.
  • the accuracy of the conformation of the curve inside is thus reported in relation to the production of the irradiation mask, which is perfectly well achieved with current techniques.
  • the mask can easily be duplicated or reused for mass production.
  • the first and second sets can be assembled by welding, for example by laser welding.
  • Figure 1 there is shown a sprung balance adjusting device in top view partially broken away, limited to parts useful for understanding the invention, Figure 2 being an enlarged representation of the center of the device.
  • the regulating device comprises a rocker 10, whose axis 11 is pivoted in a cock 12 and a spiral 1.
  • the curve on the outside 2 of the spiral 1 is fixed in a known manner by fitting in a peak 15 of a holder. 13, and it is extended by a group of turns 3 to the beginning of the curve inside 4 to form a first set.
  • the second set comprises in the example shown the curve inside 4 welded at a point 7 on a shell 5.
  • the curve inside 4 which is represented as a curve Grossmann 14 conferring spiral 1 a concentric expansion, is welded to a point 9 at the end of the turns of the first set.
  • the material used may be any alloy known for its non-magnetic properties and for its low coefficient of thermal expansion, for example Elinvar, this first set being able to be shaped for example by strapping.
  • the material used will preferably be chosen for its mechanical properties and for its ease of forming. Even if the material used does not have all the desired properties to conform the whole spiral, given the short length of the curve inside, we can consider as negligible the impact of its defects on the overall performance spiral, these defects can in any case be corrected.
  • This second set may comprise only the curve inside which will then be welded at its end 7 to the shell 5 and at its end 9 at the ends of the turns of the first set.
  • a positive or negative photoresist with a thickness corresponding to the height "h" of desired blade, then is formed by means of a mask by photolithography and etching a hollow structure corresponding to the desired contour for the second set.
  • said hollow structure is filled with a metal or an alloy such as NiP, either by electrodeposition as indicated, for example, in US Pat. No. 4,661,212, or by compression and sintering of nanoparticles, as indicated by example in the patent application US 2001/0038803.
  • the second set is released by elimination of the sacrificial layer.
  • FIG. 3 the isochronism diagram of a bi-material self-compensating hairspring having the above-indicated characteristics is shown.
  • the amplitude of oscillation of the balance expressed in degrees relative to its equilibrium position has been plotted on the abscissa, and the ordinance deviation expressed in seconds per day.
  • This diagram has five curves corresponding to the usual measurement positions (1: horizontal, 2 to 5: the four vertical positions), and the dotted line corresponds to the envelope of all the most unfavorable positions.
  • the maximum deviation of the envelope for an amplitude of between 200 ° and 300 ° is used as the operating gap.
  • the maximum deviation corresponds to an amplitude of 300 ° and has a value of 2.1 s / d, which is about three times less than the difference that can be observed with an unmodified spiral of reference, ie monomaterial and without Grossmann curve.
