Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne, de manière générale un résonateur monté dans un boîtier, et plus particulièrement, l'incorporation dans ce boîtier de composants électroniques additionnels. De tels résonateurs sont utilisés dans de nombreux domaines et plus particulièrement dans les domaines de l'horlogerie et de la téléphonie.The present invention relates generally to a resonator mounted in a housing, and more particularly to the incorporation into this housing of additional electronic components. Such resonators are used in many fields and more particularly in the fields of watchmaking and telephony.
Il est connu dans l'art antérieur d'utiliser un résonateur à quartz en forme de diapason associé à un oscillateur pour former une base de temps. Dans le but de toujours réduire la place occupée par une telle base de temps en vue par exemple de son intégration dans un dispositif électronique portable, il est connu de monter ledit résonateur à quartz en forme de diapason et le circuit intégré comprenant l'oscillateur dans un même boîtier.It is known in the prior art to use a tuning fork crystal resonator associated with an oscillator to form a time base. In order to always reduce the space occupied by such a time base with a view, for example, of its integration into a portable electronic device, it is known to mount said diaphragm quartz resonator and the integrated circuit comprising the oscillator in the same case.
Bien que ces solutions antérieures permettent de réduire le volume occupé par la base de temps, il a été montré plus particulièrement dans le domaine de l'horlogerie que l'espace disponible restait insuffisant pour réaliser une pièce d'horlogerie de petites dimensions. En effet, les montres électroniques comprennent un certain nombre d'éléments électroniques additionnels nécessitant de prévoir un deuxième circuit intégré externe à celui de l'oscillateur incorporé dans le boîtier du résonateur piézoélectrique. La nécessité d'avoir deux circuits intégrés et donc deux substrats ou équivalents pour supporter ces circuits intégrés entraîne une importante occupation de l'espace disponible dans la montre nécessitant d'augmenter le volume de cette dernière de manière excessive et donc peu souhaitable pour des raisons évidentes d'esthétiques.Although these prior solutions make it possible to reduce the volume occupied by the time base, it has been shown more particularly in the field of watchmaking that the available space remained insufficient to produce a small timepiece. Indeed, the electronic watches comprise a number of additional electronic elements requiring a second integrated circuit external to that of the oscillator incorporated in the housing of the piezoelectric resonator. The need to have two integrated circuits and therefore two substrates or equivalent to support these integrated circuits results in a significant occupation of the space available in the watch, which requires the volume of the latter to be excessive and therefore undesirable for reasons obvious aesthetics.
En particulier le document
L'un des buts principaux de la présente invention est de pallier aux inconvénients susmentionnés. A cet effet, la présente invention concerne une montre électronique selon la revendication 1. En effet, une montre électronique à affichage analogique comprend un moteur pour entraîner l'affichage analogique, par exemple des aiguilles, de manière à afficher une information horaire fournie par la base de temps et transmise au moteur par des moyens de commande de ce dernier. C'est pourquoi, ces moyens de commande du moteur électrique de la montre sont dans le cadre de la présente invention avantageusement intégrés sur le même circuit que l'oscillateur dans le boîtier du résonateur. Une telle solution présente en outre l'avantage de réduire la longueur des connexions entre les éléments électroniques de la montre et réduit ainsi d'autant la sensibilité de l'oscillateur aux perturbations externes. Cette réduction des perturbations permet ainsi de pouvoir travailler à haute impédance, plus sensible à ces perturbations, et donc de diminuer la consommation générale des circuits électroniques de la montre tout en préservent une immunité aux perturbations acceptables. Des modes de réalisations avantageux font l'objet des revendications dépendantes.One of the main aims of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks. For this purpose, the present invention relates to an electronic watch according to
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description détaillée qui suit de modes de réalisation de l'invention donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple non limitatif et illustrés par le dessin annexé où :

figure 3 est une vue selon la coupe A-A de lafigure 2 ; - la

Conformément à un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention représenté schématiquement sur la
Avantageusement, comme cela est représenté sur la
La principale idée ici consiste à encore réduire l'espace occupée par les éléments électroniques de la montre. Pour cela, le circuit intégré 7, éventuellement les circuits intégrés, est astucieusement agencé dans un même boîtier 9 servant déjà à l'emboîtage du résonateur piézoélectrique 1 à l'intérieur de la boîte de montre. L'agencement du circuit intégré 7 dans le boîtier 9 du résonateur permet non seulement d'optimiser l'espace occupée par l'ensemble de ces éléments à l'intérieur de la boîte de montre, mais aussi accroît la protection des circuits intégrés vis-à-vis de perturbations externes éventuelles grâce aux pistes de connexions très courtes entre les différents éléments à l'intérieur du boîtier 9 du résonateur. Un exemple de disposition de ces éléments à l'intérieur du boîtier 9 du résonateur est donné en liaison avec les

On comprendra que diverses modifications et / ou améliorations évidentes pour l'homme du métier peuvent être apportées aux différentes modes de réalisation de l'invention décrits dans la présente description, et cela sans sortir du cadre de l'invention défini par les revendications annexées.It will be understood that various modifications and / or improvements obvious to those skilled in the art can be made to the various embodiments of the invention described in this description, without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the appended claims.
