- the movement of the blocker must be perfectly synchronized with that of the clutch rocker. Synchronization between the clutch rocker and the blocker depends primarily on the manufacturing accuracy of the end of the clutch rocker and the end of the blocker in contact with the column wheel or the cam. Watchmakers need to retouch, file or forge, both ends to make a good synchronization between the clutch and the blocker. This results in an important adjustment time and the intervention of specialists.

Description
La présente invention se rapporte aux mécanismes de chronographe du type comportant une roue à colonnes ou une came ainsi qu'à une pièce d'horlogerie munie d'un tel mécanisme de chronographe.The present invention relates to chronograph mechanisms of the type comprising a column wheel or a cam and to a timepiece provided with such a chronograph mechanism.
La présente invention se rapporte à une pièce d'horlogerie mécanique dont le mouvement est muni d'un mécanisme de chronographe comprenant des bascules et une roue à colonnes ou une came ainsi qu'à un tel mécanisme de chronographe.The present invention relates to a mechanical timepiece whose movement is provided with a chronograph mechanism comprising rockers and a column wheel or a cam and such a chronograph mechanism.
Plus particulièrement la présente invention a pour objet un mécanisme de chronographe comportant une roue à colonnes ou une came commandant les déplacements d'une bascule d'embrayage munie d'un dispositif de réglage particulier de l'amplitude du déplacement de cette bascule d'embrayage. Ce dispositif de réglage détermine plus particulièrement la pénétration de la denture d'une roue intermédiaire, pivotée sur la bascule d'embrayage, dans la denture de la roue de chronographe. Cette pénétration de la denture de la roue intermédiaire dans la denture de la roue de chronographe est déterminante pour la bonne marche du mécanisme de chronographe.More particularly, the subject of the present invention is a chronograph mechanism comprising a column wheel or a cam controlling the movements of a clutch rocker provided with a device for particular adjustment of the amplitude of the displacement of this clutch rocker. . This adjustment device determines more particularly the penetration of the toothing of an intermediate wheel, pivoted on the clutch rocker, in the toothing of the chronograph wheel. This penetration of the toothing of the intermediate wheel into the toothing of the chronograph wheel is decisive for the proper operation of the chronograph mechanism.
Dans un mécanisme de chronographe à roue à colonnes ou à came habituel, la bascule d'embrayage portant la roue intermédiaire est pivotée concentriquement à une roue entraîneuse en prise avec la roue intermédiaire. Lorsque le bec, ou extrémité libre, de la bascule d'embrayage est en contact, sous l'effet de son ressort de rappel, avec une des colonnes de la roue à colonnes ou avec une partie haute de la came, la roue intermédiaire n'engrène pas avec la roue de chronographe. Par contre, lorsque le bec de la bascule d'embrayage tombe entre deux colonnes de la roue à colonnes ou sur une partie basse de la came, la denture de la roue intermédiaire s'engage dans la denture de la roue de chronographe pour entraîner celle-ci. Le degré de pénétration de ces dentures est imprévisible malgré la précision de ces dentures du fait de petits modules, des tolérances de fabrication ainsi qu'aux mal ronds des deux roues. Ce degré de pénétration est déterminé par la position d'un excentrique contre lequel vient buter la bascule d'embrayage, excentrique situé entre l'axe de rotation de la bascule d'embrayage et le bec de cette bascule. Un tel réglage du déplacement de la bascule d'embrayage d'un mécanisme de chronographe est connu notamment du document
La titulaire a développé un nouveau dispositif de réglage de la pénétration de la denture de la roue intermédiaire dans la denture de la roue de chronographe qui est plus précis. Ce dispositif est décrit dans la demande de brevet européen publiée
Tous ces mécanismes de chronographe connus présentent en outre un bloqueur pivotant et soumis à une action élastique de rappel, il comporte un frein destiné à entrer en contact avec la denture de la roue de chronographe lorsque le chronographe est à l'arrêt. Ce bloqueur comporte un palpeur coopérant avec la roue à colonnes ou la came pour placer ledit bloqueur en position active, bloquant la roue de chronographe, ou en position inactive, libérant la roue de chronographe. Bien entendu le mouvement du bloqueur doit être parfaitement synchronisé avec celui de la bascule d'embrayage. La synchronisation entre la bascule d'embrayage et du bloqueur dépend principalement de la précision de fabrication de l'extrémité de la bascule d'embrayage et de l'extrémité du bloqueur en contact avec la roue à colonnes ou la came. Les horlogers ont besoin de retoucher, limer ou forger, ces deux extrémités pour effectuer une bonne synchronisation entre l'embrayage et le bloqueur. Ceci entraîne un temps de réglage important et l'intervention de spécialistes.All these known chronograph mechanisms also have a pivoting blocker and subjected to an elastic return action, it comprises a brake intended to come into contact with the toothing of the chronograph wheel when the chronograph is stopped. This blocker comprises a feeler cooperating with the column wheel or the cam to place said blocker in the active position, blocking the chronograph wheel, or inactive position, releasing the chronograph wheel. Of course the movement of the blocker must be perfectly synchronized with that of the clutch rocker. Synchronization between the clutch rocker and the blocker depends primarily on the manufacturing accuracy of the end of the clutch rocker and the end of the blocker in contact with the column wheel or the cam. Watchmakers need to retouch, file or forge, both ends to make a good synchronization between the clutch and the blocker. This results in an important adjustment time and the intervention of specialists.
Lors de la mise en fonction du chronographe, le bloqueur ne doit plus être en contact avec la roue de chronographe lorsque la roue d'embrayage pénètre dans la denture de la roue de chronographe. Le réglage de cette synchronisation est un point important dans le bon fonctionnement du chronographe.When turning on the chronograph, the stopper must no longer be in contact with the chronograph wheel when the clutch wheel enters the gearing of the chronograph wheel. The setting of this synchronization is an important point in the proper functioning of the chronograph.
L'horloger doit également contrôler et effectuer la synchronisation lorsque l'on arrête le chronographe. La roue d'embrayage doit quitter la denture de la roue de chronographe le plus tard possible de façon que le bloqueur maintienne la roue de chronographe dans la position du temps mesuré sans que cette roue puisse avoir un mouvement de rotation.The watchmaker must also check and synchronize when the chronograph is stopped. The clutch wheel must leave the toothing of the chronograph wheel as late as possible so that the stopper keeps the chronograph wheel in the position of the measured time without this wheel can have a rotational movement.
La présente invention a pour objet un mécanisme de chronographe limitant l'intervention des horlogers pour le montage et le réglage du mécanisme de chronographe et permettant une synchronisation parfaite par une opération simple et rapide évitant toute retouche des pièces et notamment du bloqueur et de la bascule d'embrayage, des colonnes de la roue à colonnes ou de la came.The present invention relates to a chronograph mechanism limiting the intervention of watchmakers for mounting and adjusting the chronograph mechanism and allowing a perfect synchronization by a simple and fast operation avoiding any retouching of parts including the blocker and the rocker clutch, columns of the column wheel or the cam.
Ce mécanisme de chronographe comporte une roue à colonnes ou une came, une roue d'entraînement, une bascule d'embrayage pivotée concentriquement à la roue d'entraînement et dont l'extrémité libre porte un bec coopérant avec la roue à colonnes ou avec la came, cette bascule d'embrayage portant une roue intermédiaire en prise constante avec la roue d'entraînement et destinée à être engagée ou non dans la denture d'une roue de chronographe suivant la position de la bascule d'embrayage commandée par la roue à colonnes ou la came et un bloqueur monté pivotant comportant un patin de blocage coopérant avec la denture de la roue de chronographe, le bloqueur et la bascule d'embrayage étant soumis à des ressorts de rappels; caractérisé par le fait que la bascule d'embrayage comporte un organe de commande contre lequel le bloqueur est en appuis sous l'action du ressort de rappel du bloqueur.This chronograph mechanism comprises a column wheel or a cam, a drive wheel, a clutch rocker pivoted concentrically to the drive wheel and whose free end carries a beak cooperating with the column wheel or with the cam, this clutch rocker bearing an intermediate wheel in constant engagement with the drive wheel and intended to be engaged or not in the toothing of a chronograph wheel according to the position of the clutch rocker controlled by the wheel to columns or the cam and a pivotally mounted blocker having a locking shoe cooperating with the toothing of the chronograph wheel, the clutch and the clutch rocker being subjected to spring recalls; characterized in that the clutch rocker comprises a control member against which the blocker is in abutment under the action of the return spring of the blocker.
L'invention a encore pour objet une pièce d'horlogerie comportant un tel mécanisme de chronographe.The invention also relates to a timepiece comprising such a chronograph mechanism.

Ce mécanisme de chronographe comporte une roue entraîneuse 2 pivotée autour d'un axe O et une bascule d'embrayage 3 également pivotée autour de l'axe O, c'est à dire concentriquement à la roue entraîneuse 2. Cette bascule d'embrayage porte une roue intermédiaire 4 pivotée en X sur cette bascule. Cette roue intermédiaire 4 est constamment en prise avec la roue entraîneuse 2. L'extrémité libre de la bascule d'embrayage 3 comporte un bec 5 qui coopère avec les colonnes 6 de la roue à colonnes 1. Lorsque le bec 5 de la bascule d'embrayage 3 est en appuis sur la périphérie d'une colonne 6 de la roue à colonnes 1, la bascule d'embrayage 3 est pivotée autour de son axe O dans le sens anti-horaire et la roue intermédiaire est désengagée d'une roue de chronographe 7 solidaire d'un axe 8 portant également le coeur des secondes 9, la came de chronographe 10 et l'aiguille des secondes de chronographe (non illustré). Le chronomètre est à l'arrêt et les pièces du mécanisme de chronographe sont disposés comme illustré à la
Par contre lorsque le bec 5 de la bascule d'embrayage 3 est situé entre deux colonnes 6 de la roue à colonnes 1 (
Le présent mécanisme de chronographe comporte encore un bloqueur 11 pivoté en y dont un premier bras porte un patin de blocage 12 coopérant avec la denture de la roue de chronographe 7. Un second bras de ce bloqueur 11 porte à son extrémité un excentrique 13. Cet excentrique 13 comporte un pivot logé à frottement gras dans un perçage du second bras du bloqueur 11 et une tête, excentrée par rapport à ce pivot, comportant une fente pour permettre le positionnement angulaire de l'excentrique 13 à l'aide d'un tournevis.The present chronograph mechanism further comprises a
La bascule d'embrayage comporte un bras ou organe de commande 14 dont la face terminale 15 est en contact avec la périphérie de la tête de l'excentrique 13.The clutch rocker comprises an arm or
Un premier ressort de rappel 16 agit sur la bascule d'embrayage 3 et tend à déplacer le bec 5 de cette bascule en direction de la roue à colonnes 1. Un second ressort de rappel 17 agit sur le bloqueur 11 et tend à faire pivoter le bloqueur 11 dans le sens horaire et à appliquer le patin de blocage 12 contre la denture de la roue de chronographe 7.A
Grâce à ce mécanisme les déplacements du bloqueur 11 ne sont plus comme dans les chronographes existant commandés directement par la roue à colonnes 1 indépendamment de la bascule d'embrayage 3. En effet les mouvements du bloqueur 11 sont directement commandés par la bascule d'embrayage 3 par la face 15 de son organe de commande 14 agissant sur l'excentrique 13 porté par le second bras du bloqueur 11.Thanks to this mechanism the movements of the
Dans ce mécanisme le réglage de la profondeur de pénétration de la denture de la roue intermédiaire 4 dans la denture de la roue de chronographe 7 se fait par exemple comme décrit dans le brevet
Dans des variantes d'exécution, si la tolérance de fabrication et de montage du bloqueur 11 et de la bascule d'embrayage 3 sont suffisamment faibles, l'excentrique 13 peut être remplacé par une goupille ou plot fixé sur le bloqueur ou même la tranche latérale du bloqueur 11. Dans des variantes de ce mécanisme la roue à colonnes peut être remplacée par une came.In alternative embodiments, if the manufacturing and mounting tolerance of the

Lorsque le bec 5 de la bascule d'embrayage 3 se trouve sur une colonne de la roue à colonnes 6, elle pivote dans le sens contraire des aiguilles d'une montre autour de son axe O, la roue intermédiaire 4 se dégage de la roue de chronographe 7, le bloqueur 21 entre en contact par son patin de blocage 23, avec la denture de la roue de chronographe et est appliquée contre celle-ci par son ressort de rappel. L'excentrique 25 permet de régler simplement le moment où le patin de blocage 23 entre en contact avec la roue de chronographe lors de la rotation anti-horaire de la bascule d'embrayage 3.When the
Dans cette forme du mécanisme de chronographe également la roue à colonnes 6 peut être remplacée par une came ou une navette.In this form of the chronograph mechanism also the
Dans une variante de cette forme d'exécution l'excentrique 25 pourrait être remplacé par une goupille fixe.In a variant of this embodiment the eccentric 25 could be replaced by a fixed pin.
Ainsi, grâce à ce mécanisme de chronographe le réglage de la synchronisation du bloqueur 11;21 et de la bascule d'embrayage 3 est grandement facilité et peut être beaucoup plus précis. La synchronisation des mouvements de la bascule d'embrayage 3 et du bloqueur 11;21 devient une fonction effectuée en direct, de façon automatique et sans pièces intermédiaires ou par l'intermédiaire d'un simple excentrique 13; 25.Thus, with this chronograph mechanism the adjustment of the synchronization of the
