Abstract

The mechanism has a balance wheel (30) fixed in frames formed by a plate (10), a bridge plate (11), a base (20), a balance bridge (22), and an escapement bridge (24). An escape wheel (26) and a spud (28) support the wheel (30). A clockwork movement (14) connects a turret (12) to the wheel (26), the spud and a timer. The wheel (30) turns around an axis inclined with respect to reference planes, and intersects the reference planes. An intersection point of the axis with the former plane is closer to a centre of the mechanism than another intersection point of the axis with the latter plane.

Description

Domaine techniqueTechnical area

La présente invention se rapporte à un porte-échappement destiné à être utilisé dans des mouvements de montre, plus particulièrement du type comportant un balancier-spiral. De tels mouvements, comprennent un bâti. Ils sont inscrits entre des première et deuxième surfaces planes, parallèles entre elles. La première surface sert généralement d'appui au cadran, alors que la deuxième est définie par la face supérieure des ponts ou de la masse oscillante, voire la face supérieure de pièces constitutives d'un mécanisme. Cette face est généralement destinée à être adjacente au poignet du porteur.The present invention relates to an exhaust holder intended to be used in watch movements, more particularly of the type comprising a balance spring. Such movements include a frame. They are inscribed between first and second flat surfaces, parallel to each other. The first surface is generally used to support the dial, while the second is defined by the upper face of the bridges or the oscillating mass, or the upper face of parts constituting a mechanism. This face is generally intended to be adjacent to the wearer's wrist.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

Le bâti porte des mobiles généralement disposés de manière à ce que leurs axes de rotations soient parallèles entre eux et perpendiculaires à ces surfaces planes. Ces mobiles, de forme discoïde, se superposent plus ou moins, en fonction de leur position en référence au bâti. L'un d'entre eux, agencé pour porter des organes indicateurs de l'heure, est disposé au voisinage de la première surface.The frame carries mobiles generally arranged so that their axes of rotation are parallel to each other and perpendicular to these flat surfaces. These mobiles, of discoid form, are superimposed more or less, according to their position in reference to the frame. One of them, arranged to carry organs indicating the time, is disposed in the vicinity of the first surface.

On connaît aussi des mouvements construits en plusieurs sections, enveloppant le poignet et permettant de faire une montre bombée. Le galbe que permet une telle forme permet de réaliser des montres relativement minces et présentant une esthétique particulière. Le mouvement ainsi réalisé occupe un volume relativement important. Il est malheureusement difficile de réaliser une boîte étanche pouvant loger un tel mouvement. De tels mouvements sont, par exemple, décrits dans les documents CH 60 360 ou EP 1 394 638 .We also know movements built in several sections, wrapping the wrist and making a curved watch. The shape that allows such a shape allows to make relatively thin watches and having a particular aesthetic. The movement thus achieved occupies a relatively large volume. Unfortunately, it is difficult to make a sealed box that can accommodate such a movement. Such movements are, for example, described in the documents CH 60 360 or EP 1 394 638 .

On connaît par ailleurs des mouvements munis d'un tourbillon dont la cage porte un balancier incliné par rapport au plan du mouvement, décrits, par exemple dans les documents WO 03/017009 , WO 2005/043257 et EP 1 564 608 . Dans ces mouvements, et à cause de la rotation de la cage, l'axe de balancier forme l'enveloppe d'un cône. Une telle solution a pour avantage de réduire la sensibilité aux positions, mais nécessite beaucoup de volume.There are also known movements with a vortex the cage carries a pendulum inclined relative to the plane of the movement, described, for example in documents WO 03/017009 , WO 2005/043257 and EP 1 564 608 . In these movements, and because of the rotation of the cage, the balance shaft forms the envelope of a cone. Such a solution advantage of reducing sensitivity to positions, but requires a lot of volume.

Divulgation de l'inventionDisclosure of the invention

La présente invention a notamment pour but de permettre la réalisation d'un porte-échappement permettant de construire un mouvement occupant un volume restreint, pouvant sans autre être logé dans une boîte étanche et/ou offrir des conditions optimales de fonctionnement du balancier.The present invention is intended to allow the realization of an exhaust door to build a movement occupying a restricted volume, which can without being housed in a sealed box and / or provide optimal operating conditions of the balance.

A cet effet, le porte-échappement selon l'invention est défini par les revendications.For this purpose, the exhaust door according to the invention is defined by the claims.

Brève description des dessinsBrief description of the drawings

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée à titre d'exemple et faite en référence aux dessins dans lesquels:

  • les figures 1 à 4 représentent tout ou partie d'un mouvement de montre dans lequel est monté un porte-échappement selon l'invention.
The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given by way of example and with reference to the drawings in which:
  • the Figures 1 to 4 represent all or part of a watch movement in which is mounted an exhaust door according to the invention.

Mode(s) de réalisation de l'inventionMode (s) of realization of the invention

Le mouvement de montre représenté aux figures 1 à 4 comporte notamment et de manière classique une platine 10 et un pont-platine 11, partiellement arraché sur la figure 1 et fixé sur la platine 10 au moyen de vis non référencées, un barillet 12 formant la source d'énergie, un rouage de finissage 14, un organe régulateur formé d'un porte-échappement 16 et un mécanisme de remontoir et de mise à l'heure comprenant notamment une tige de mise à l'heure 18, seul composant visible sur ces figures. La platine 10 est de forme générale discoïde et définit un axe central XX (figure 3). Dans ce mouvement, le barillet 12 et les composants du rouage de finissage 14 tournent autour d'axes parallèles à l'axe XX.The watch movement represented at Figures 1 to 4 comprises in particular and in a conventional manner a plate 10 and a platinum-bridge 11, partially torn off the figure 1 and fixed on the plate 10 by means of screws not referenced, a barrel 12 forming the energy source, a work train 14, a regulating member formed of an exhaust door 16 and a winding mechanism and setting time including a time setting rod 18, the only visible component in these figures. The plate 10 is of discoidal general shape and defines a central axis XX ( figure 3 ). In this movement, the cylinder 12 and the components of the finishing gear 14 rotate about axes parallel to the axis XX.

Le porte-échappement 16 comprend une base 20 et, fixés sur cette dernière au moyen de vis non référencées, un pont de balancier 22, deux colonnes 23 intercalées entre la base 20 et le pont 22 (figure 1), et un pont d'échappement 24. Une roue d'échappement 26 et une ancre 28, formant ensemble le mécanisme d'échappement de la montre, sont montées pivotantes entre la base 20 et le pont d'échappement 24. Ce mécanisme assure l'entretien d'un balancier-spiral 30 monté pivotant entre la base 20 et le pont de balancier 22, autour d'un axe YY (figure 3), dans des paliers 31 fixés respectivement dans la base 20 et le pont de balancier 22, seul le palier associé au pont 22 étant visible au dessin. Ces paliers sont avantageusement de type antichoc.The exhaust holder 16 comprises a base 20 and, fixed on the latter by means of screws not referenced, a balance bridge 22, two columns 23 interposed between the base 20 and the bridge 22 ( figure 1 ), and an exhaust bridge 24. An escape wheel 26 and an anchor 28, together forming the escapement mechanism of the watch, are pivotally mounted between the base 20 and the exhaust bridge 24. This mechanism maintains a balance spring 30 pivotally mounted between the base 20 and the balance bridge 22, about an axis YY ( figure 3 ), in bearings 31 respectively fixed in the base 20 and the balance bridge 22, only the bearing associated with the bridge 22 being visible in the drawing. These bearings are advantageously of the shockproof type.

La platine 10, le pont-platine 11, la base 20, le pont de balancier 22 et le pont d'échappement 24 forment les principaux composants du bâti du mouvement. Les surfaces extérieures de la platine 10 et du pont-platine 11 définissent des plans A et B parallèles entre eux (figure 3). La surface extérieure de la platine 10, définissant le plan A, est destinée à porter un cadran, alors que le plan B se trouve dans la partie du mouvement adjacente au poignet du porteur.The plate 10, the platinum bridge 11, the base 20, the balance bridge 22 and the exhaust bridge 24 form the main components of the frame of the movement. The outer surfaces of the plate 10 and the platinum-bridge 11 define planes A and B parallel to each other ( figure 3 ). The outer surface of the plate 10, defining the plane A , is intended to carry a dial, while the plane B is in the portion of the movement adjacent to the wrist of the wearer.

Typiquement, l'axe YY est incliné de 15° à 30° par rapport à une perpendiculaire aux plans A et B, l'inclinaison étant fonction des caractéristiques du mouvement. Les conditions spatiales les plus favorables sont obtenues lorsqu'un plan parallèle au plan A et passant par l'extrémité de l'arbre du balancier la plus proche de la serge est tangente à l'extérieur de celle-ci. De la sorte, le balancier utilise le minimum d'épaisseur. Il va de soi que d'autres paramètres de construction peuvent aussi intervenir pour définir cette inclinaison.Typically, the YY axis is inclined from 15 ° to 30 ° with respect to a perpendicular to the planes A and B , the inclination being a function of the characteristics of the movement. The most favorable spatial conditions are obtained when a plane parallel to the plane A and passing through the end of the balance shaft closest to the serge is tangent to the outside thereof. In this way, the balance uses the minimum thickness. It goes without saying that other construction parameters can also be used to define this inclination.

Comme le montrent les figures 1 à 4, la base 20 présente, selon un plan passant par les axes XX et YY, une section transversale en coin ou à angle droit, formant un triangle rectangle. Le plus grand des côtés adjacents à l'angle droit est en appui contre la platine 10. L'hypoténuse définit un plan qui forme une surface de référence, les axes du balancier 30, de l'ancre 28 et de la roue d'échappement 26 lui étant perpendiculaires. Cela revient à dire que le balancier 30 et les composants 26 et 28 de l'échappement tournent autour d'axes inclinés par rapport à une perpendiculaire aux plans A et B du mouvement, l'inclinaison étant égale à l'angle que forme l'hypoténuse et le grand côté du triangle mentionné plus haut. Comme le montre la figure 3, l'orientation du balancier est telle que le point d'intersection PA de l'axe YY avec le plan A est plus proche de l'axe XX que le point d'intersection PB avec le plan B.As shown by Figures 1 to 4 , the base 20 has, in a plane passing through the axes XX and YY, a cross section at a corner or right angle, forming a right triangle. The largest of the sides adjacent to the right angle is in support against the plate 10. The hypotenuse defines a plane which forms a reference surface, the axes of the balance 30, the anchor 28 and the escape wheel 26 being perpendicular to it. That is to say that the rocker 30 and the components 26 and 28 of the escapement rotate about axes inclined with respect to a perpendicular to the planes A and B of the movement, the inclination being equal to the angle that forms the hypotenuse and the long side of the triangle mentioned above. As shown in figure 3 , the orientation of the balance is such that the point of intersection PA of the axis YY with the plane A is closer to the axis XX than the point of intersection PB with the plane B.

L'assemblage du mouvement qui vient d'être décrit commence par la mise en place des paliers et des pieds. Ensuite, les mécanismes et le rouage sont montés sur la platine. Parallèlement, les composants du porte-échappement 16 sont assemblés et réglés. Ce dernier est ensuite mis en place sur la platine, comme dernière opération. Si nécessaire, la marche de la pièce peut encore être ajustée.The assembly of the movement that has just been described begins with the installation of bearings and feet. Then, the mechanisms and the gear are mounted on the plate. Meanwhile, the components of the exhaust door 16 are assembled and adjusted. The latter is then put in place on the plate, as the last operation. If necessary, the walking of the room can be further adjusted.

La figure 2 montre un avantage que l'on peut tirer d'une configuration telle que celle du mouvement décrit. En plaçant le balancier 30 incliné par rapport au barillet 12, il est possible de disposer de plus de place pour ce dernier, ou de réduire l'épaisseur du mouvement pour un même volume de barillet. Par ailleurs, du fait que le balancier 30 est incliné par rapport aux plans A et B, les écarts entre les positions verticales et les positions horizontales sont réduits. En effet, quand la montre est en position horizontale, c'est à dire que les plans A et B sont horizontaux, l'axe du balancier est incliné. Par ailleurs, quand la montre est placée dans une position verticale, l'axe du balancier est aussi incliné et non horizontal comme dans les montres classiques. De la sorte, les marches instantanées mesurées sont plus proches des conditions habituelles de porter. Cela est particulièrement vrai lorsque la construction est telle qu'un plan passant par l'axe YY du balancier et perpendiculaire aux plans A et B fait un angle compris entre 30° et 60° par rapport à l'axe de la tige. 18.The figure 2 shows an advantage that can be derived from a configuration such as that of the movement described. By placing the rocker 30 inclined relative to the barrel 12, it is possible to have more room for the latter, or to reduce the thickness of the movement for the same barrel volume. Moreover, because the rocker 30 is inclined relative to the planes A and B , the differences between the vertical positions and the horizontal positions are reduced. Indeed, when the watch is in a horizontal position, that is to say that the planes A and B are horizontal, the axis of the balance is inclined. Furthermore, when the watch is placed in a vertical position, the axis of the balance is also inclined and not horizontal as in conventional watches. In this way, measured instant walks are closer to the usual conditions of wearing. This is particularly true when the construction is such that a plane passing through the axis YY of the beam and perpendicular to the planes A and B is at an angle of between 30 ° and 60 ° relative to the axis of the rod. 18.

Ainsi qu'on peut le voir sur la figure 3, une liaison correcte entre le rouage de finissage 14, et plus particulièrement sa roue de secondes 14a, avec le pignon d'échappement 26a de la roue 26 est assuré grâce au fait que la planche 14b de la roue 14a présente une denture conique.As can be seen on the figure 3 , a correct connection between the work train 14, and more particularly its seconds wheel 14a, with the escape gear 26a of the wheel 26 is ensured by the fact that the board 14b of the wheel 14a has a conical toothing.

Sur la figure 4, le mouvement illustré sur les figures précédentes est complété par un mécanisme de remontoir automatique comportant plus particulièrement un rotor 32 comprenant une planche 32a et une masse d'inertie 32b. Du fait de l'inclinaison du balancier 30, l'épaisseur réservée à la masse d'inertie 32b peut être sensiblement augmentée. De la sorte, même avec une épaisseur ou un diamètre réduit, il est possible d'obtenir un couple de remontage équivalent à ceux de mouvements existants.On the figure 4 , the movement illustrated in the preceding figures is completed by an automatic winding mechanism more particularly comprising a rotor 32 comprising a board 32a and a mass of inertia 32b. Due to the inclination of the balance 30, the thickness reserved for the mass of inertia 32b can be substantially increased. In this way, even with a reduced thickness or diameter, it is possible to obtain a winding torque equivalent to those of existing movements.
