Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a regulating organ for a wristwatch, and a mechanical movement for a wristwatch provided with such a movement.
  • the usual mechanical watches comprise an energy accumulator constituted by a barrel, a kinematic chain, or a train, driving needles, a regulating organ determining the running of the watch, and an escapement for transmitting the oscillations of the regulating organ. at the wheel.
  • the present invention relates in particular to the regulating organ.
  • Conventional regulating members most often comprise a rocker mounted on a rotating axis and a return member exerting a torque on the balance to bring it back to an equilibrium position.
  • the escapement, or drive member maintains oscillations of the balance around the equilibrium position.
  • the return member generally comprises a spiral spring, often called spiral, mounted coaxially with the balance.
  • the hairspring transmits a restoring torque to the balance wheel through the ferrule; the rest position of the spiral spring determines the return position of the balance.
  • the deformation of material at each oscillation of the spiral spring causes a loss of energy, and therefore a reduction in the running time of the watch.
  • the accuracy of the watch depends to a large extent on the properties of the material used for the spiral spring, as well as the machining accuracy of the end curves. Despite significant progress in metallurgy, the reproducibility of these properties is difficult to guarantee.
  • spiral springs tend to getting tired over time, so that the restoring force decreases with the aging of the watch, resulting in a variation in accuracy.
  • the oscillations of the balance in one direction tend to unroll the spiral spring whereas the rotations in the opposite direction have the effect of contracting it.
  • the deformation of the spring is therefore exerted differently depending on the direction of rotation of the balance, which influences the return force and therefore the accuracy and reproducibility.
  • the peg and the ferrule to fix the hairspring to the cock (or balance bridge), respectively to the pendulum, are other sources of disturbance and unbalance that unbalance the pendulum.
  • the hairspring exerts a torsion torque on the balance at the point of attachment of the ferrule, which negatively influences the accuracy obtained.
  • the hairspring In the vertical position, the hairspring also tends to deform under its own weight which causes a shift in its center of gravity and a disturbance of the period.
  • the balance is also subject to gravitational attraction as well as acceleration caused by the movements of the wearer. Since the spring force of the spiral spring is small, these external disturbances have a significant influence on the accuracy of the gait, and complex correction mechanisms, for example vortices or even three-axis vortices, are sometimes used to compensate for them. .
  • the thickness of the spiral is added to that of the balance, so that the total thickness of the regulating member is relatively large.
  • Regulating organs for a wristwatch using a vibrating tuning fork have been devised, which make it possible to solve a certain number of the problems mentioned. These regulating members, however, also act by deformation and elastic vibration of material in the branches of the tuning fork, so that the accuracy depends in this case also on the metallurgy and machining precision. These solutions have not been imposed on a large scale.
  • An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a regulating organ for a different wristwatch and which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • Another object is to provide a regulating member that can be used with a mechanical watch, devoid of power source.
  • Another aim of the invention is to propose a regulating device with a pendulum for a mechanical watch which is devoid of a cock, a stud, a ferrule and other means for fixing the return member to the balance wheel and to the axis of the balance.
  • This arrangement has the advantage of allowing complete removal of the spiral spring in mechanical watches, and most of the problems associated with it.
  • This arrangement also has the advantage of offering greater precision, as well as less influence to disturbances caused by gravitation or by external accelerations.
  • the return member tends to return the balance to at least one stable equilibrium position
  • the drive member for example an exhaust, tends to remove it.
  • Oscillating members employing magnetic fields are described in particular in US4'266'291 , US3'921'386 , US3'714'773 , US3'665'699 , US3'161'012 , from 2424212 , and GB 1444627 . These seven documents however relate to electric watches, in which a magnetic field is generated by means of an electromagnet. These solutions are therefore not suitable for mechanical watches devoid of power source.
  • the advantage is to allow a precision that does not depend on the metallurgy or the shape of a deformed part, and thus to facilitate the reproducibility of the accuracy.
  • the advantage is in particular to limit the disturbances due to the torsion torque at the attachment of the balance to the balance.
  • the magnetic field generated by the fixed part of the return member is fixed and constant, that is to say that it is not rotating and that it does not vary. in time.
  • the magnetic field generated by the mobile magnet (s) is rotating; that is to say that the balance has an axis of rotation and that the mobile magnet or magnets, integral with the balance on which they are directly fixed, oscillate along a path circular around said axis of rotation.
  • all of the kinematic energy of the moving magnets is transmitted to the pendulum.
  • the rotational movements of the balance can be transmitted by means of a conventional exhaust to the rest of the watch.
  • the movement of the balance is thus constituted by oscillations around the axis of rotation of the balance, the amplitude of the oscillations being less than 360 °, for example less than 180 °, or even less than 120 °. It is thus possible to obtain a high frequency of oscillation, favorable to the precision and the resolution of the regulating organ; in addition, it is easier to obtain a relationship without discontinuities between the restoring force and the angular position of the balance when the latter oscillates in a limited range.
  • the invention is however not limited to particular oscillation amplitudes; oscillation amplitudes between 180 and 300 °, or even amplitudes close to 360 °, may also be employed, for example by employing a single fixed magnet and a single moving magnet. These oscillations of greater amplitude have the advantage of minimizing the impact of the disturbance introduced by the exhaust at each cycle.
  • At least one movable magnet oscillates in a circular path between two fixed permanent magnets arranged on a circular arc and angularly spaced by less than 180 °.
  • a large magnetic interaction is created whose intensity varies according to a continuous function along the oscillation trajectory.
  • the balance is excited by mechanical elements to oscillate isochronously around the equilibrium position.
  • the balance can thus be associated with a conventional escapement for a mechanical watch.
  • the energy required for the excitation of the balance can be transmitted from the exhaust through permanent magnets.
  • the magnetic balance of the invention can be used in a purely mechanical watch, devoid of coils, electromagnets and power supply.

  • the equilibrium position is determined by repulsive forces, and is reached when the moving magnets are equidistant between two fixed magnets, and the repulsive force of the two stationary magnets acting on each moving magnet is compensated.
  • the magnetic field generated by the fixed magnets is minimal at the equilibrium position, so that the amount of energy required to move the balance from this equilibrium position and to maintain oscillation is reduced.
  • the magnetic interaction between the fixed and mobile magnets increases as the balance moves away from the equilibrium position, so that the return force increases proportionally with the angular distance of the balance relative to its rest position.
  • the stability of the equilibrium point can however be controlled by additional magnets acting by attraction. Likewise, the balance can be moved away from positions of undesired equilibrium.
  • the invention does not exclude variants in which the equilibrium position is determined by attraction forces, and is reached when the moving magnets are at a minimum distance from corresponding fixed magnets, or equidistant between two stationary magnets. whose attractive forces counterbalance each other.

  • magnetizing the entire balance instead of magnetizing the entire balance, it is conceivable to magnetize only a magnetic track attached to the latter, parallel or perpendicular to the plane of the balance.
  • An additional fixed permanent magnet 47 is disposed facing the movable magnet 30 at the maximum repulsion position, in order to prevent the balance from reaching and then exceeding this position.
  • This magnet 47 thus acts as a magnetic stop to move the balance from a position of undesired balance, without the disadvantages of mechanical stops causing shocks likely to disrupt the isochronic movement of the balance.
  • Permanent magnets consist of a continuous ring.
  • a discontinuous ring for example provided with one or more air gaps or with discrete magnets.
  • the volume of the fixed (and / or mobile) magnets therefore varies continuously along the circular path of the balance, so as to control the relationship between the restoring force and the angular position of the balance.
  • the figure 21 illustrates a variant of the invention in which the thickness of the moving magnets 30 increases radially, while the thickness of the fixed magnets 40 decreases away from the axis of rotation 300.
  • An inverted arrangement, ensuring a gap between the fixed and mobile magnets, can also be adopted.
  • the radial variation in thickness can also be combined with a variation along the periphery of the regulating member.
  • the radial and / or circumferential thickness variation of the magnets 30, 40 can also be used with the embodiments of the Figures 13 and 14 having magnets superimposed.
  • the figure 22 illustrates a variant of the regulating member illustrated in the Figures 1 to 2 and further comprising a plurality of electrodes 44, whose electrical property varies as a function of the electric field to which they are subjected.
  • the electrodes 44 thus make it possible to detect or even to measure the rotating magnetic field generated by the oscillations of the moving magnets 30.
  • the electrodes 44 may for example be constituted by magnetoresistive electrodes or by Hall sensors. They can be connected to each other and to an integrated circuit 46 through conducting tracks 440 according to different topologies.
  • the circuit 440 makes it possible to determine the amplitude of the oscillations of the rocker 30 and / or the frequency of oscillation.
  • the circuit 46 may be powered by an independent energy source, for example a battery, or by a coil generating an alternating current under the action of the displacements of the balance, as illustrated in connection with the figure 18 mentioned below. An electronic correction of the running of a mechanical watch can thus be obtained.
  • an independent energy source for example a battery
  • a coil generating an alternating current under the action of the displacements of the balance as illustrated in connection with the figure 18 mentioned below.
  • the measurement of the frequency and / or the amplitude of the oscillations of the balance 30 makes it possible, for example, to detect any irregularities in the operating frequency.
  • This information can be used to correct the running of the watch, for example by exerting a correction torque on the balance 30 by means of unrepresented electromagnets or other electromechanical means, so as to correct the amplitude and the frequency of the oscillations.
  • This information can also be used to display an end-of-march signal, so as to signal to the user that the progress of the watch becomes inaccurate.
  • the figure 23 illustrates a variant of the regulating member in which a coil 45 facing each movable magnet 30 generates a current proportional to the magnetic field generated during the movement of this magnet near the coil.
  • a coil 45 facing each movable magnet 30 generates a current proportional to the magnetic field generated during the movement of this magnet near the coil.
  • Arrangements having two coils in opposition of phase, or three coils generating a three-phase current system, can also be used.
  • the illustrated coils generate an approximately sinusoidal current whose frequency corresponds to the oscillation frequency of the pendulum. This frequency can be measured by a circuit 45, for example by comparing it with a reference frequency provided by a quartz, for example to inform the user in case of irregular frequency and / or to correct this frequency, for example by injecting a compensation current into the coil 45.
  • the circuit 46 may comprise a rectifier and thus be powered itself by the current generated by the coil 45.
  • the current generated by the coil can also be used to power a circuit providing any what kind of function
  • the regulating organ described can be used in a movement for a stand-alone wristwatch, or in an auxiliary module, for example a chronograph module, intended to be superimposed on a basic movement.
  • the various regulating members described all comprise at least one mobile permanent magnet and at least one fixed permanent magnet. Buildings devoid of permanent fixed magnet or devoid of moving permanent magnet can however be imagined within the scope of the invention.
  • the regulating member of the invention is preferably mounted in a mechanical movement, preferably without a battery, and in a watch case revealing at least a portion of the pendulum, which allows the user to control his movements at any time.
