Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a micromechanical mobile, and in particular a wheel or pinion, the rotation of which is controlled by shocks at the teeth disposed at its periphery.
  • the invention will be more particularly illustrated by an escapement wheel of a balance-sprung system of a mechanical watch movement.
  • the escapement of a mechanical watch movement comprises a more or less complex set of parts, including an escape wheel whose regularly spaced teeth undergo the shock of pallets generally in rubies.
  • the shape of this wheel shown in Figure 2 has almost never changed. It comprises a rigid central zone 2 provided with an opening 4 for driving on a shaft, a rigid serge 12 provided with teeth 8, and generally four arms 6 also rigid, which leads to a rigid part. Improvements have focused on the number or shape of teeth in particular to facilitate lubrication and reduce wear. Licences CH 230 743 and DE 1,192,984 describe for example embodiments in which the teeth have notches for forming oil reservoirs.
  • the material used to make such escape wheels is almost always a metal or an alloy. However, this does not totally exclude the risk of damaging the teeth in case of violent shocks. This risk is further increased if the metal is replaced by a more shock-sensitive material.
  • the present invention therefore aims to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art by providing a mobile whose rotation is controlled by shocks on teeth designed so that they are not damaged by said shocks.
  • the invention relates to such a mobile comprising a central zone of a rigid material, and arms extending radially from the central zone to a peripheral zone comprising teeth, the arms being flexible to allow a small tangential displacement and / or radial teeth to absorb shocks likely to damage said teeth.
  • the invention is characterized in that that the arms are curved and gradually bend towards an orientation tangential to the rotation of the mobile, in that the thickness of the arms decreases and finally, in that the teeth are formed by the ends of the arms.
  • the arms are bent in the direction of rotation of said mobile.
  • the arms are bent in the direction opposite to the direction of rotation of said mobile, while at the end of the arms, the teeth are bent in the direction of rotation of said mobile.
  • the rigid central portion preferably comprises an opening for driving a shaft for rotating the mobile. This rotation can also be carried out by means of pivots coming from material with the rigid central zone.
  • the "mobile” will be more particularly illustrated by the escapement wheel of the balance-sprung system of a clockwork mechanical movement in which the teeth undergo shocks of pallets generally ruby.
  • the present invention will be more particularly illustrated by a coaxial anchor escapement in which the teeth of the escape wheel are subjected to the shocks of the pallets.
  • this mechanism comprises a first escape wheel 1 and a second escape wheel 11, also called an impulse pinion, mounted on the same axis 3.
  • the two escape wheels are integral in rotation and they have the same number of teeth.
  • the first escape wheel 1 has the form shown in Figure 2, that is to say the shape of a conventional Swiss lever escapement wheel.
  • the pinion gear 11 also acts as an escape pinion 15 meshing with an intermediate wheel 17, which has the advantage of reducing the height of the mechanism.
  • the large plate 19 of the balance carries a plate pin 21 and a direct pulse pallet 23 arranged to cooperate with the teeth 8 of the first escape wheel 1.
  • the anchor 25, whose fork 27 cooperates with the ankle plate 21, comprises an indirect pulse pallet 24 which cooperates with the teeth 13 of the second escape wheel 11, as well as two pallets of rest 26, 28, respectively inlet and outlet, which cooperate with the teeth 8 of the first escape wheel 1.
  • the construction of such a coaxial escapement requires tight tolerances, so that such an exhaust is mainly reserved for high-end timepieces.
  • the present invention is innovative in that the teeth have a certain flexibility radially and tangentially so as to absorb shocks.
  • Figure 3 corresponds to the escape wheel 1 shown in Figures 5 and 6, to explain the operation of a coaxial escapement, and corresponds to a first embodiment.
  • the arms 6 are curved and gradually bend towards a tangential orientation, in the direction of rotation of the mobile.
  • the arms 6 are relatively thin given their length, which gives them some flexibility.
  • the wheel 1 has no serge, the teeth 8 being constituted by the ends of the arms 6.
  • the absence of serge has the advantage of giving each arm 6 the ability to flex independently of other arms. Since the arms 6 are not simply oriented radially like the wheel arms of the prior art, they have the possibility of flexing radially as well as tangentially.
  • the configuration of the arms that "roll up" around the wheel makes it possible to have longer arms for a wheel of a given diameter.
  • the curvature of the arms 6 is progressive so as to distribute the tensions caused by a shock throughout the length of the arms.
  • the thickness of the arms decreases as we approach their end. Indeed, it will be understood that, in the configuration shown, the shear stresses are greater at the birth of the arms than at their end. Under these conditions, the progressive thinning of the arms makes it possible to reconcile the contradictory imperatives of flexibility and solidity.
  • the escape wheel 1 has eight arms 6 and as many teeth 8. It is obvious that one could have another number of arms and teeth.
  • Figure 4 corresponds to a second embodiment. It differs from the previous mode in that the arms 6 "wind up" around the wheel in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation of the wheel. It can be seen that, in this embodiment, each tooth is formed by a portion 8 of the end of an arm which is bent in the direction of rotation of the wheel.
  • Figures 3 and 4 also shows that the central opening 4 comprises an arrangement 5 to have a certain elasticity.
  • This arrangement is particularly advantageous when the material used to make such an escapement is a material having a certain flexibility but being brittle such as glass, quartz or silicon.
  • the arms 6 comprise spikes 7. These spikes serve to angularly position the spur gear 11 relative to the escape wheel 1 during the assembly of the escapement mechanism. Once wheel and pinion correctly oriented relative to each other, these two parts are secured to one another by gluing or by any other suitable method. It will be observed that the escape pinion 11 could also have the characteristics of one of the configurations just described for the escape wheel 1.
  • Such a mobile according to the invention can be realized according to the techniques known in the field. If the material used is a metal or an alloy, the mobile can be cut into a plate by stamping, wire EDM, etc ... or be conformed by the LIGA technique. If the material used is a fragile material, such as glass, quartz and silicon, the mobile can be shaped by chemical etching.
