Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a watch movement of diameter less than 40 mm which comprises a barrel for housing a motor spring and whose diameter is smaller than the radius of said movement.
  • This barrel has a cylindrical side wall surrounded by toothing. Each edge of this cylindrical side wall is closed by a disk axially traversed by a pivot opening of a barrel shaft.
  • the invention also relates to a timepiece comprising such a movement.
  • the documents FR 1220417 and EP 1837717 describe in detail the construction of barrels for wristwatches.
  • the barrel drum can be machined from a workpiece comprising the bottom and the cylindrical sidewall.
  • the walls of the drum and its cover are of comparable thicknesses. This follows in particular from the fact that the device aims to bring together the drum and its lid so as to obtain a connection that withstands high pressures.
  • the invention described in the second document proposes a fixing of the cover on the drum which does not modify, neither the external dimensions of the cylinder, nor its internal volume.
  • a major feature of mechanical watches is the power reserve.
  • a watch the size of a wristwatch, it follows a problem of storing in the drive member the largest amount of energy possible in a small volume.
  • such watches naturally have limited dimensions so that it no longer possible to increase the size of the barrel whose size is defined by the maximum space that can be reserved for it within the movement .
  • the diameter of the movement generally does not exceed 40 mm. Since the axis of rotation of the hands of the watch is most generally at the center of the movement, the diameter of the barrel is necessarily less than the radius of the movement.
  • the object of the present invention is a barrel which offers a greater power reserve than a conventional barrel of the same size.
  • the subject of the invention is a watch movement according to claim 1.
  • this object is achieved by maximizing the useful height at disposal of the mainspring for a cylinder of given height.
  • the latter is indeed directly conditioned, among other things, by the height of the ribbon forming the spring.
  • the increase in the height reserved for the spring within the barrel is obtained by reducing the thickness of the walls, in particular the thickness of at least one of the two disks forming the bottom and the lid of the barrel.
  • An advantage of the invention is to allow substantially increase the power reserve without increasing the size of the barrel.
  • FIG. 1 it represents a timepiece, especially its movement.
  • the latter comprises a cylinder 1, a finishing train 10, an exhaust 11 and a regulator 12.
  • the barrel 1 consists of a thin cylindrical box whose inner housing is intended to receive a motor spring (not shown). At its periphery, this barrel has a toothing 3 intended to drive the finishing train 10.
  • the barrel is formed of three distinct parts, namely a cylindrical side wall 2 surrounded by the toothing 3, and two discs 4, 4 ', 1 one acting as a lid and the other acting as a bottom. These two discs are intended to close the space delimited by the cylindrical side wall 2, each bearing on one of the two edges 21, 21 'of this wall.
  • the disks are supported on a circular bearing surface 22, 22 'provided on the edge of the wall. So and as best illustrated at the figure 2b , the outer surface of each disk can advantageously come flush with the edge 21, 21 '.
  • Each disc 4, 4 ' has an axial opening 5, 5' for the passage of a barrel shaft 7 whose longitudinal axis 8 is perpendicular to the plane of the discs.
  • Each axial opening 5, 5 ' is lined with an annular projection 6, 6' serving as a bearing for the shaft 7.
  • the height of the housing that this barrel reserves for the mainspring is between 85% and 97% of the total height of the cylinder, namely the distance that separates the outer faces of the two discs 4, 4 'at the periphery of the barrel, therefore without taking into account any extra thicknesses of the outer surfaces of the discs close to the axis.
  • at least one of the discs 4, 4 'must have a thickness substantially less than that known from the prior art.
  • the thickness of the bottom or the cover of a drum drum of comparable size is typically of the order of 0.2 mm.
  • Such a value makes it possible to obtain a comfortable autonomy of 67 hours, compared to the 55 hours that until now had offered the same watch equipped with a standard cylinder of the same size.
  • the power reserve gain is 27% which corresponds to a battery life of 70%. hours. If the two discs 4, 4 'have a thickness of 0.05 mm (housing height of 93%), this gain is increased to 31% and the autonomy to 72 hours.
  • At least one of the discs 4, 4 ' is a thinned disc which has a thickness of less than 0.2 mm, preferably a thickness of between 0.04 mm and 0.12 mm.
  • this thickness of at least one of the disks 4, 4 ' is therefore less than or equal to 0.12 mm, or even less than or equal to 0.10 mm, or even less than or equal to 0.09 mm, or even less than or equal to 0.08 mm.
  • the first difficulty lies in obtaining highly thinned discs which therefore have a very small thickness, typically less than 0.08 mm, for example of the order of 0.04 mm only. Below this first value, it becomes almost impossible to obtain a quality part from a mechanical machining.
  • materials such as ceramics, obtained by sintering, ruby, or Phynox ®, metal alloy with high cobalt performance is stainless, has a high mechanical strength and allows obtain the aforementioned discs by stamping, or Toughmet ® or Pfinodal ® , which are copper-based spinodal alloys with addition of nickel and tin. It is also possible to use materials that can be shaped by microfabrication processes such as electroforming (for example, Ni, NiP, NiCo alloys obtained by a LIGA type process, abbreviation of "Lithography, Galvanoformung, Abformung”). or deep etching (for example, silicon, quartz or diamond by a process of the DRIE type, abbreviation of "Deep Reactive Ion Etching").
  • electroforming for example, Ni, NiP, NiCo alloys obtained by a LIGA type process, abbreviation of "Lithography, Galvanoformung, Abformung”
  • deep etching for example, silicon,
  • the second difficulty which arises from the first, lies in the machining of the annular projection 6, 6 'which, to provide a suitable pivoting of the barrel 1 relative to the shaft 7, becomes all the more necessary that the the thickness of the disk with which it is associated is fine.
  • the annular projection 6, 6 ' can be attached to the surface of the disc 4, 4' after having been machined apart.
  • this annular projection can advantageously be made of a material different from that of the disk. This allows to choose a material for the projection which offers good tribological characteristics to optimize the pivoting, but which is not necessarily adapted to the realization of the disc.
  • this projection preference will be given to the production of this projection the use of conventional alloys such as CuBe or brass, or a metal such as nickel which prevents galling while having excellent wear resistance.
  • the assembly of the annular projection on the disc can be obtained by welding, riveting, brazing or gluing.
  • the support of the disc 4, 4 'on the annular projection is via a circular bearing 62, 62' which, in particular, protects the edge of the axial opening 5 located in close proximity of the barrel shaft.
  • this illustrates a variant of the barrel according to the invention.
  • the annular projection 6, 6 ' is not necessarily related to the disk 4, 4' but may be formed integrally with the disk with which it is associated.
  • it may be the same for the toothing 3 which is or is formed in an extra thickness of the periphery of the disc.
  • one of the discs 4, 4 ', in this case the disc 4 can be formed in one piece with the cylindrical side wall 2.
  • the interlocking of the two parts thus formed the barrel may for example be constituted by the inner face of a shoulder 9 in which is formed the toothing 3 and a bearing formed in the edge of the circular side wall 2, as shown in FIG. figure 3 .
  • the two parts can be bonded to each other by gluing or welding during assembly and closing of the barrel, as can also be the discs 4, 4 'of the figure 2 .
  • We can also achieve such an assembly by driving, riveting or clipping.
  • Such a method of attachment which makes at least one of the disks integral with the cylindrical wall, improves the rigidity of the barrel.
  • the circular wall 2 serving in particular as anchor point for the outer end of the mainspring and sliding surface in the case of a sliding-flange spring, retains its normal thickness which provides the rigidity needed to hold the entire barrel.
