Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a timepiece provided with a direct-impulse escapement, comprising a frame on which are pivotally mounted an escape wheel, an immobilizer of the escape wheel provided with two locking pallets , a fork and a stinger, a balance-balance oscillator with a double plate carrying a pulse pallet, a release pin and a notch to allow the passage of the stinger; the pulse pallet being arranged to cut the trajectory of the teeth of the escape wheel and the release pin being arranged to engage with the fork at each half-period of oscillation of the balance, to move the blocking lever between two locking positions of the teeth of the escape wheel and allow the force transmission of a tooth of the escape wheel to the pulse pallet at each oscillation period of the balance.
  • the present invention also relates to a timepiece equipped with an indirect impulse escapement based on the same inventive concept.
  • the dart has greatly penalized most other exhaust systems, mainly because of geometric construction constraints and / or operation (sizing) which characterize these systems.
  • the only way to use the dart with other types of exhaust and in particular the direct impulse exhausts (such as the Robin exhaust) is to increase the tilting angle of the blocking lever, which leads to yield reduction as it virtually negates the benefits of these exhausts.
  • the Robin exhaust is an exhaust that combines the advantages of the escapement escapement (high efficiencies and direct transmission of energy between the escape wheel and the balance) to those of the anchor escapement (better operating safety) . It is therefore a direct impulse exhaust which uses a blocking rocker equipped with two stop pallets and which switches between two extreme stop positions. Unlike the Swiss lever escapement, the impulse is transmitted directly by the escapement wheel to the balance and the rocker is only used to stop the escape wheel outside the pulse phases.
  • the integration of a Robin escapement into a wristwatch is made difficult by the impossibility of effectively using a fixed dart.
  • the dart which is usually a fixed piece driven close to the fork of the blocking rocker prevents, in combination with the small notch tray of the double plate secured to the balance, the overturning of the blocking rocker during an impact. Indeed, there is no spring that keeps the latch in its stopping position as is the case for a detent escapement.
  • Such a reversal has catastrophic consequences on the operation of the watch, because the release of the blocking lever inadvertently will place it in its second extreme position which it can no longer be released by the peg secured to the balance, with the consequence the stop of the watch.
  • the sizing and the use of a dart imposes a tilting angle of the locking lever comparable to that of the Swiss anchor (typically 15 °), while it is typically 3-4 ° for a current Robin exhaust.
  • EP 1 122 617 proposes a locking device for a timepiece that can be applied to escapements (see in particular the figures 1 , 11 and 13).
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a solution to prevent the reversal of a locking lever or an anchor when their tilting angle is very low, typically less than 5 °, as is the case with the blocking of a direct impulse escapement, such as the Robin escapement in particular, but this could also be the case for indirect impulse escapements, such as the Swiss lever escapement in a particular configuration, in which the anchor would have a tilt angle very significantly lower than that of the usual anchor.
  • the subject of the invention is a timepiece provided with a direct-impulse escapement according to claim 1, as well as a timepiece equipped with an indirect impulse escapement according to claim 2, based on the same inventive concept.
  • the pivotally mounted dart according to the invention makes it possible to amplify its angular displacement without modifying the angular displacement of the blocking lever or the anchor, which increases the safety against overturning even though the tilting angle of the locking lever or the anchor itself is very small, typically less than 5 °.
  • the solution that solves the problem is also very simple design, which is a guarantee of reliability.
  • the security provided by the dart increases inversely to the radius of the small plate of the balance. It can indeed be seen that the arrow f of the rope, the ends of which correspond to the points of contact of the stinger with the plate, increases as the diameter of the plate decreases for a given tilt angle ⁇ .
  • the H position is therefore the least favorable, because the more the dart comes into contact with the small plateau near the center line, the more the risk of jamming increases.
  • one of the first parameters to be set is the value of the arrow f which must be correctly determined according to the dimensions of the parts, the manufacturing technique, and / or tolerances.
  • the only way to avoid the friction between the dart and the same plate is to have a total angle of tilt of the anchor ( ⁇ ) important, typically of 16 °. This value is perfectly compatible with the functioning / dimensioning of the Swiss lever escapement.
  • the Robin escapement is characterized by the fact that its blocking lever has a tilt angle which is between 4 and 5 times smaller than that of a Swiss anchor.
  • the distances (angles) to be covered for the clearance of the wheel are substantially reduced.
  • This low tilt angle therefore represents a certain advantage from the point of view of the efficiency of the escapement and the isochronism of the balance-balance oscillator but, at the same time, renders practically unusable a fixed dart.
  • the present invention proposes to separate the tilting of the tilting rocker of the stinger by rotating the latter around a axis integral with the locking lever and parallel to the pivot axis of the locking lever.
  • the swivel stinger comes from the need to have a large tilt angle to achieve proper operation of the stinger while keeping the low tilt angle of the rocker Robin exhaust.
  • the only way to achieve this goal is to mount the pivoting dart by creating a kinematic connection between the pivoting of the stinger and the tilting of the locking lever.
  • the stinger comprises displacement means, preferably located at a distance s from its pivot axis less than the distance r between these displacement means and the pivot axis of the blocking lever, these distances being measured in FIG. one of the extreme positions of the rocker, and shaped to engage with integral drive means of the frame of the timepiece.
  • This arrangement makes it possible to amplify the angular displacement of the stinger, generated by the passage of the locking lever from one to the other of its two positions.
  • FIG. 3 The solution realized and tested is illustrated by the figure 3 on which there is shown a Robin exhaust mounted on the frame (not shown) of a timepiece.
  • This exhaust comprises an escape wheel 1, a locking rocker 2 of the escape wheel 1, pivotally mounted about a pivot axis 3 on the frame of the timepiece and a double plate 4 integral with a pivot shaft 5 of a balance-balance oscillator (not shown).
  • the locking lever 2 comprises two locking vanes 2a, 2b, intended to penetrate alternately into the path of the teeth of the escape wheel 1, a fork 2c intended to work with a pin 4c integral with the largest plate 4a of the double plate 4.
  • a stinger 2d is pivotally mounted on the fork 2c of the locking lever 2, around a pivoting second stub 2 axis parallel to the pivot axis 3 of this latch 2.
  • the stinger comprises a tail 2d 1 , constituting the means for moving the stinger and mounted between two limit stops 6a, 6b constituting the drive means of the stinger 2d.
  • the double plate 4 integral with the pivot shaft 5 of the balance, still carries a pulse pallet 4d which directly receives a pulse of a tooth of the escape wheel once per oscillation period of the balance.
  • the small plate 4b of the double plate 4 has as usual a notch 4e radially aligned with the pin 4c, to allow the passage of the pin during the driving of the latch 2 by the pin 4c engaging between the arms of the fork 2c.
  • Sizing of the pivoting dart 2d is particularly simple and a single trigonometric relationship is sufficient to determine all the parameters that are needed.
  • the figure 2 represents the main geometrical parameters of the mobile stinger exhaust in one of the extreme positions of the blocking lever.
  • s represents the distance between the pivot point of the stinger and the point of intersection between the line of wheel-balance centers and the tail of the stinger measured in one of the extreme positions of the rocker.
  • the losses due to the presence of the mobile stinger are low, of the order of 10 ° with complete arming (12 turns), and decrease with the degree of winding of the barrel.
  • the effect of the mobile stinger therefore decreases with amplitude, which is ideal because it is at low amplitudes of oscillation that a loss of amplitude is critical for the movement of the movement.
  • Another conceivable possibility would be to make the dart by growing Ni through a Liga process around a ruby bearing. This method of manufacture would avoid problems gluing or hunting of the bearing.
  • the figure 4 illustrates a variant of the figure 3 in which the tail of the stinger is formed in the form of a fork 2d 2 , the abutments 6a, 6b being replaced by a fixed pin 6 engaged between the arms of the fork 2d 2 .
  • the position of this pin 6 can be adjustable, for example by associating the pin 6 to an eccentric, to allow to change the tilt angle of the stinger. Such a solution would reduce the size compared to the stops 6a, 6b.
  • stoppers 6a, 6b made of ruby in the form of an exhaust pallet. These pallets could be mounted in slides allowing a simple and distinct adjustment of the two stops 6a, 6b, as shown by the double arrows on the figure 2 , to facilitate the settings of the exhaust and correct any manufacturing defects.
  • the figure 5 illustrates a second variant of the figure 3 wherein the tail 2d 3 of the stinger 2d has a toothing engaged with a rack 7 secured to the frame of the timepiece. The effect is the same as the stops.
  • the form of execution illustrated by the figure 6 refers to an indirect impulse escapement, of the Swiss anchor escapement type.
  • the tilting of the dart 2d is provided by two pins 6'a, 6'b integral with the frame.
  • the angle of tilting of the anchor is 6 °, substantially lower than in a traditional Swiss anchor escapement. Thanks to the 2d swivel system, the tipping angle of the stinger is 15 °. The angles are calculated relative to the line of the wheel-balance centers.
