Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of mechanical watch movements.
  • Mechanical watch movements generally comprise, in particular, a barrel housing a mainspring, a train driven by the barrel and whose axes of some of the wheels carry indicator hands, a regulating member such as a balance-spring and, between the gear train and the regulating member, an escapement for maintaining the oscillations of the regulating member.
  • the exhaust includes an escape wheel driven by the gear train and a member, such as an anchor, located between the escape wheel and the regulating member.
  • the watch movements currently found on the market currently have a regulating organ oscillating at a frequency of 4 Hz and a 20-tooth escapement wheel. It has also been marketed under the brand name Zenith El Primero, a movement whose regulating organ oscillates at a frequency of 5 Hz and whose escape wheel includes, to the applicant's knowledge, 21 teeth.
  • the document FR 2162504 discloses different kinds of movements operating at different frequencies.
  • the present invention aims to provide a watch movement that can operate at a high frequency without the aforementioned disadvantages.
  • the frequency of the regulating member can be increased from one movement to another without increasing the ratio between the number of teeth N of the escape wheel and the frequency f, which ratio can be equal to a usual value.
  • the angular speed of rotation of the escape wheel therefore remains unchanged from one movement to the other, allowing the gear and more generally to the entire movement with the exception of the regulating member and the exhaust of remain unchanged.
  • the power reserve is also preserved.
  • the movements are made so that the exhaust of each movement further comprises an anchor located between the escape wheel and the regulating member, and that the distance between the centers of rotation of the escape wheel and the the anchor is substantially the same from one movement to another and the distance between the centers of rotation of the anchor and the regulating member is substantially the same from one movement to another.
  • the plates and bridges on which are mounted the different organs can be the same from one movement to another.
  • the movements can even be made to be substantially identical except for their escapement and their regulating organ.
  • tooth means a tooth of the escape wheel having a functional role, that is to say, in the case of an anchor escapement, a tooth which cooperates with the pallets of the anchor.
  • a traditional watch movement 1 comprises in particular a motor spring (not shown) housed in a barrel 2, a gear train 3 driven by the barrel 2, a regulating member of the balance-spring type 4 (of which only the balance is shown) and, the gear train 3 and the sprung balance 4, an exhaust 5.
  • the exhaust 5 comprises an escape wheel 6 and an exhaust pinion 7 which is secured to the wheel 6 and which meshes with a second wheel 8 of the gear train 3 to drive the wheel 6.
  • the exhaust 5 further comprises a member 9, for example an anchor, which cooperates with the escape wheel 6 and with a plate pin 10 secured to the axis of the balance-spring 4 for maintain the oscillations of the sprung balance 4.
  • the respective axes of some of the wheels of the train 3, namely the second wheel 8, a minute wheel and a wheel hours (not shown), are intended to carry the indicators of seconds, minutes and hours s, typically needles, moving over a watch face. All these elements are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in more detail.
  • the increase in the frequency of the sprung balance is accompanied by an increase in the number of teeth of the escape wheel.
  • Current manufacturing techniques allow the realization of wheels with a large number of teeth.
  • the figure 2 shows an escape wheel 11 and an exhaust anchor 12 forming part of an exhaust according to the invention.
  • the escape wheel 11 has 50 teeth and the exhaust of which it is part is intended to operate with a sprung balance oscillating at a frequency of 10 Hz (72000 vibrations per hour).
  • the figure 3 shows an escape wheel 13 and an exhaust anchor 14 forming part of another exhaust according to the invention.
  • the escape wheel 13 has 40 teeth and the exhaust of which it is part is intended to operate with a sprung balance oscillating at a frequency of 8 Hz (57600 vibrations per hour).
  • anchors 12 and 14 illustrated at Figures 2 and 3 may be identical although they cooperate with different exhaust wheels.
  • the ratio between the number of teeth of the escape wheel and the frequency of the spring balance is equal to 5, which is the value that is commonly encountered in the current movements.
  • the angular speed of rotation of the escape wheel is therefore the same as in the usual movements. It follows that a movement including one of the exhausts described above and the balance sprung-balance may have a conventional wheel, for example the wheel 3 illustrated in the figure 1 .
  • the distances from the exhaust are preserved from one exhaust to the other and are equal to usual values.
  • the center distance d3 of the escape wheel 11 and the anchor 12 is equal to the center distance d5 of the escape wheel 13 and the anchor 14 and to the center distance d1 of the usual escape wheel 6 and the usual anchor 9.
  • the center distance d4 of the anchor 12 and the corresponding balance is equal to the center distance d6 of the anchor 14 and corresponding balance and at the center distance d2 of the usual anchor 9 and the usual balance wheel 4. Keeping the same distances from one exhaust to the other, it facilitates the interchangeability of the exhaust assembly - regulating organ in a given movement and allows movements including respectively escapements as described above with the corresponding balance springs to have identical plates and bridges.
