Definitions

  • the invention relates to a specific geometry stamp for a bell or alarm of a watch.
  • the stamp used is a wire, which may be circular. This wire is arranged around the movement, in the watch cage. This stamp is fixed, for example by solder, to a stamp holder, which is itself secured to the watch plate.
  • the vibration of the stamp is produced by the impact generally near the stamp holder of at least one hammer. This vibration is composed of several eigenfrequencies (or partial), whose number and intensity, especially in the audible range, depend on the geometry of the timbre and the physical properties of the material.
  • fundamental frequency which is also called first harmonic
  • harmonics which are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency.
  • the frequencies above the fundamental are no longer integer multiples of the lowest frequency, they are rather defined by partials.
  • attack spikes such as the shock or the impact of a hammer against a timbre of a watch ring as for the present invention.
  • a certain proportion of partials during the impact of the hammer on the timbre is audible in the frequency range of 1 kHz to 20 kHz (the low limit being given by the radiation capabilities of the watch, while the high limit is the auditory ability of the human ear).
  • the frequency range the more the number of partials is important and the more the generated sound can be considered rich.
  • This type of stamp material it is possible to increase this richness of the sound by playing on the geometry of the stamp, that is to say by realizing for example a stamp of the cathedral type.
  • This type of stamp includes two windings instead of a single winding around the movement of the watch, which can cause a problem of size in the case of the watch.
  • a bell for a ring of a watch may comprise a circular-shaped wire surrounding part of the movement of the watch as shown in part in the patent document.
  • This wire may be made for example of steel to produce a vibration, which thus comprises several partials in the audible frequency range.
  • the number of partials in the audible frequency range is insufficient to produce a rich sound generated by the vibrating tone, particularly in the low frequencies.
  • the invention therefore aims to overcome the disadvantages of the state of the art by providing a timbre for a ringtone or alarm of a watch capable of producing a rich sound having a large number of partials in the audible frequency range.
  • the invention relates to a bell for a bell or alarm of a watch cited above, which comprises the characteristics defined in the independent claim 1.
  • stamp for a bell of a watch are defined in the dependent claims 2 to 5.
  • An advantage of the stamp according to the present invention is that the sound produced is richer for a given size of said stamp compared to previously used materials, such as steel. It is possible to produce a cathedral type sound with this time a single winding of a metal wire in the case of a watch and not two windings as in the state of the art.
  • the acoustic intensity is improved by increasing the transmission coefficient to parts of the watch, located downstream of the stamp.
  • the type of material chosen such as a precious metal or a metallic glass, the quality of the sound produced by the timbre is improved, thanks to the greater number of partials that can propagate towards the radiating parts of the watch.
  • the stamp of the present invention is made in a type of material, which increases the richness of the sound produced by the vibration of said stamp with a high number of audible partials. This high number of partials is determined in the audible frequency range, i.e. from 1 kHz to 20 kHz.
  • the material may be of amorphous structure, such as a metallic glass.
  • the chosen material must therefore make it possible to control and optimize the density of modes ⁇ in the audible frequency range.
  • This density of modes is influenced by different parameters, mainly the properties of the selected material.
  • the density of modes ⁇ is inversely proportional to the square root of the modulus of elasticity E of the material, divided by the density ⁇ of said material according to the following formula: 1 / ⁇ ⁇ E / ⁇ 1 / 2 m / s
  • the velocity of the sound produced by the patch is directly proportional to the square root of the modulus of elasticity E divided by the density p, which is defined in m / s.
  • the type of material used for producing a watch stamp may advantageously be chosen from precious metals, such as yellow gold, gray gold, red gold, platinum, palladium and silver.
  • yellow gold the value of the square root of modulus of elasticity E divided by density ⁇ is 2'222 m / s; with a standard geometry stamp, up to 11 audible partials.
  • gray gold this value is 2'606 m / s with about 10 audible partials.
  • red gold this value is 2'556 m / s with about 10 audible partials.
  • this value is 2'822 m / s with 9 to 10 partial audible.
  • palladium this value is 3'172 m / s with about 9 audible.
  • this value is 2'813 m / s with 9 to 10 partial audible.
  • the number of partials with a stamp made of a precious metal, such as gold is even larger compared to the number of partials of a steel stamp particularly in the range of 1 kHz at 10 kHz, which is the zone of maximum sensitivity of the human ear.
  • a material with an amorphous rather than crystalline structure which may be a metallic glass.
  • the metallic glass can be made from the molten state by fast quenching.
  • This metal glass may for example be based on zirconium, gold, platinum or any other metal capable of solidifying in amorphous form.
  • the geometry stamp determined for a bell or watch alarm may be a metal wire or metal glass of rectangular or circular section with a diameter of less than 1 mm, for example of the order of 0.6 mm.
  • This wire is fixed on a stamp holder connected to the watch plate, and may partially surround the watch movement, which may be of a diameter of the order of 12 "1 ⁇ 2.
  • the metallic glass of the stamp thus describes a single winding in the form of a portion of a torus of angle comprised for example between 180 ° or less, and 360 °, preferably of the order of 330 °.
  • the stamp having the above form can therefore advantageously be made of a material whose square root of the modulus of elasticity E divided by the density ⁇ is less than 3'300 m / s.
  • This material can be preferably yellow gold, gray gold or red gold, which is easy to work for obtaining said stamp, and has a high number of partials mainly in the range of 1 kHz to 10 kHz.
  • the figures 1 and 2 show two graphs of the spectral density of the sound emitted by a vibration tone in the frequency range from 1 kHz to 20 kHz.
  • the figure 1 represents such a stamp made of steel, while the figure 2 represents such a stamp made of gold.
  • peaks corresponding to the audible partials of the sound produced by the vibrating timbre The greater the number of these peaks or partials, the more the sound produced is normally rich for auditory perception by a human ear.
  • the geometry of said stamp must be taken into account in order not to have two peaks too close to each other in the frequency range audible, because in this case a dissonant sound can be perceived.
  • This geometry of the stamp must therefore be optimized to avoid these double peaks in the audible frequency range. It can be operated for example a picture near the place where the stamp is fixed.
