Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electromechanical exhaust device and a timepiece using such a device.
  • the exhaust device serves on the one hand to maintain the oscillatory movement of the mechanical oscillator comprising the balance and the hairspring and on the other hand to transmit the frequency of this oscillator to the gear train causing the time display.
  • the traditional mechanical exhaust devices transmit the frequency of the mechanical oscillator directly to the gear train causing the time display.
  • the frequency of the mechanical oscillator generally between 2 and 4 Hz, is unfortunately not very precise and in addition very dependent on the position of the watch. The accuracy of a mechanical watch is therefore lower than that of an electronic quartz watch.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an electromechanical exhaust device for significantly improving the accuracy of a mechanical watch.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a mechanoelectronic timepiece equipped with such an exhaust device
  • the figure 1 represents a block diagram of a traditional mechanical watch in which the mechanical energy from a manual or automatic winding device is stored in a barrel spring 1 to be distributed through a set of wheels 2 to a device Exhaust 3 and a display 4.
  • the exhaust device 3 serves on the one hand to maintain the movement of the mechanical oscillator 5 comprising a balance and a hairspring and on the other hand to transmit the frequency of this oscillator to the gear 2 causing the time display 4.
  • the frequency of a mechanical oscillator generally between 2 and 4 Hz, is unfortunately not very precise and, moreover, very dependent on the position of the watch. The accuracy of a traditional mechanical watch is therefore lower than that of an electronic quartz watch.
  • the gear 7 linked to the display 8 and the electromechanical exhaust device 9 advance by a fixed angle and transmit, through an electromechanical converter described below. of the device 9, the electrical energy and the oscillation period of the mechanical oscillator 11 to the electronic device 10.
  • This electronic device 10 has an electric energy accumulator and a quartz time base taken as reference time base ; he compares the periods of mechanical oscillation with a reference period. When the sum of the differences between these periods exceeds a certain limit, the electronic device 10 sends electrical correction pulses through an electromechanical converter to advance the electromechanical exhaust device 9 as well as the gear 7 and the display 8.
  • the electromechanical escapement 9 advances at each period of the mechanical oscillator 11 and also, so independent of the mechanical oscillator 11, when it receives pulses coming from the electronic circuit 10.
  • the figure 3 represents an embodiment of an electromechanical exhaust device according to the invention.
  • This device comprises several mobiles rotating around 4 centers O1, O2, O3 and O4.
  • the escape wheel 12 shown in detail at the figure 4 , around the center O1 and is provided with pins 121.
  • the number of pins is equal to 8, but the choice of another number of pins is also possible.
  • FIG. 7 represents the details of these mobiles as well as the electromechanical converter 18 having, in addition to the rotor 182, a stator 181 of soft magnetic material provided with the cells 184, and a coil 183.
  • the electrical signal from the coil 183 during the energy transmission phase is sent to the charging means 100, which stores the energy in a capacitor or other energy accumulator 101. This signal is also sent to the setting means. 102, which transmit the information to the means 103 for measuring the period of the mechanical oscillator 11, based on a reference time base from a crystal oscillator 104.
  • the means 105 calculate the sum of the errors of the mechanical period and send a set of electrical pulse correction coil 183 when this sum exceeds a certain limit.
  • a timepiece equipped with an electromechanical exhaust device as described above has its operating accuracy significantly improved since it depends on the accuracy of the quartz oscillator.
