Definitions

  • a digital display mechanical movement watch has a display area for identification of active digits for the designation of the current time only, and a plurality of display disks on which the digits of the minute units , tens of minutes and hours are divided.
  • n + m symbols obtained by means of an upper disk, arranged behind the window of a cover plate, and a lower disk, placed behind the upper disk and comprising m sectors, are described.
  • One of the sectors of the upper disk consists of a transparent window, the other n + m sectors of the two disks carrying the symbols.
  • EP 1 818 737 discloses a watch movement comprising a twenty-four hours type display mechanism, comprising means for displaying the ten hours, a driving wheel driven by the movement, a first and a second boards driven by the drive wheel.
  • the movement further comprises means for displaying the unit of hours comprising a first upper plate provided with regularly distributed angularly, of the following sequence: empty showing the lower plate, and the numbers 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, then, a second lower plate, at least partially covered by the upper plate in a zone d display, comprising, in a regularly distributed angular manner, the sequence of digits 0, 1, 2, 3.
  • EP 0 389 732 discloses a digital / analog display device for a timepiece comprising a roadway, consisting of an analog disk mounted on the road and having a window through which appears a digit carried by a digital disk coaxially mounted to the analog disk.
  • the digital disk is rotated by the roadway by means of jumping means and its rotation relative to the analog disk is provided by an eccentric mobile provided with a finger driving each turn a toothed wheel secured to the digital disk.
  • the disks bearing the numbers or symbols are of relatively large size, without these numbers or symbols benefiting from an important display size.
  • a superimposed layout is provided. Such an arrangement leaves little flexibility in the workouts and requires a high energy level to run cumbersome parts.
  • WO2008 / 019512 presents a watch comprising a rotating hour dial and a rotary dial of coaxial mounted minutes.
  • the dials or discs occupy the entire periphery of the case and each have a large number of small symbols or numbers.
  • Such an arrangement further includes needles pointing to the relevant numbers or symbols.
  • Such an arrangement does not correspond precisely to a digital display. In addition, readability can be difficult.
  • EP 1,906,266 describes a mechanical digital display having at least one digit consisting of seven segments for the display of characters Alphanumeric. Each segment is a rod that can pivot on its longitudinal axis. At least one pinion, integral with the stick, is arranged around each longitudinal axis adjacent to at least one end of said stick. The pivoting of the rods can be actuated by means of cams cooperating with each pinion.
  • the sticks comprise at least two zones that are similar to a first and a second strip having a different aesthetic appearance. These strips are arranged along the length of the rod at different orientations, the orientation of the rods making it possible to make visible either the first or the second band.
  • the display of an alphanumeric character is obtained by the dissimilarity of the aesthetic aspect between the first and the second band of the set of sticks. Pivoting one or more rods to substitute the first tape with the second tape or vice versa results in the display of different alphanumeric characters.
  • Such an arrangement with a rotation of elements around one or more axes oriented in planes parallel to that of the watch case, implies a construction with a large volume, particularly in terms of thickness. On the other hand, it is a relatively complex mechanism.
  • CH 691 833 discloses a watch having a display module for a timepiece provided with a jumping hours display and a retrograde minute display whose mechanism is driven by the roadway of a watch movement.
  • the jumping hour display has a counter made in the dial of the timepiece through which a number from 1 to 12 or from 1 to 24 depending on the version, worn by a record of hours is visible.
  • the minutes display comprises an eccentric needle relative to the display module cooperating with an arcuate graduation carried by the dial whose angular extent is less than 180 °.
  • EP 1406131 discloses a digital display watch having a display area for identification of the active digits for the designation of the current time, a plurality of display disks (1, 2, 3, 4) on which minutes, tens of minutes and hours are distributed, and a jump control arranged to allow substantially instantaneous changes in the numbers displayed in said display area.
  • This document discloses an arrangement of disks comprising 3 sets.
  • the invention provides various technical means.
  • a first object of the invention is to provide a mechanical movement watch having a digital display whose figures allow excellent readability, especially by their size in relation to the size of the watch, but whose mechanism drives and the discs themselves occupy a small space.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a mechanical movement watch having a digital display whose numbers are displayed so as to be fully visible in all phases of operation of the watch.
  • Such an arrangement makes it possible to write on the disks figures whose size allows excellent readability, without the disks have an excessive size, requiring a bulky, massive and unsightly housing, the figures being fully visible at the level of the area. display in virtually all phases of operation of the watch.
  • the jumps, or changes in numbers are also managed so as to be performed substantially instantaneously. This prevents the display area from having cut numbers or portions of digits for more than a few tenths of seconds, or even one or two, or a few seconds at most. The readability of the exact time is well assured.
  • each set is controlled by a locking index with an actuator means for each set.
  • a five-range snail actuates the locking index.
  • This snail is preferably itself driven by the actuator lever.
  • the rotation of the minute cage causes an actuator finger which rotates the tens locking index.
  • every hour the rotation of the minute wheel causes an actuator finger that rotates the locking index of the hour cage.
  • the triggering of the jumps repeats advantageously every minutes for the display of the minutes, every ten minutes for the display of the tens, and every hour for the display of the hours.
  • the discs of the minute units are connected to satellite wheels gravitating around a fixed wheel of minute units, the assembly being mounted in a cage of minute units.
  • the tens of minutes disk is mounted on a tens wheel
  • the hour discs are connected to satellite wheels gravitating around a fixed wheel hours, the assembly being mounted in a cage hours.
  • the display area preferably consists of a window.
  • the figure 1 illustrates a watch 100 with digital display according to the invention.
  • the housing 101 of the watch has a window 102 for displaying the time in digital form.
  • the glass 104 is semi-transparent, suggesting some mechanical elements of the device for interchanging the numbers according to the time to display.
  • the numbers 140 have a significant dimension, providing excellent readability, while the housing retains a conventional size for a mechanical watch.
  • the time is displayed in a display area by the rotation of three sets 110, 120 and 130 of disks on which are written the digits 140 relating to the minutes (digits from 0 to 9), to the tens of minutes (digits from 0 to 5) and hours (digits from 1 to 12) in a twelve-hour display configuration.
  • a set of discs 120 tens of minutes is also provided.
  • the set of tens disks comprises a single disk 121 of tens of minutes on which all the digits of the tens are distributed.
  • the set 130 of hour discs is provided so that the disks 131 of the hours circulate in a double rotational movement, comparable to that of the set 110 of disks minutes
  • the display of the time is jumping, that is to say that the numbers are presented so as to remain fully visible as long as there is no jump generated.
  • the display changes instantly or almost every sixty seconds. This avoids presenting configurations in which a slow rotating disk would present portions of two successive digits in the window.
  • the figure 3 shows the drive mode of the disks of the different sets.
  • a mechanism (described later) rotates the minute cage 115 once per minute by 1/5 of a turn.
  • the cage 115 drives the five disks 111 with it and turns them on themselves by half a turn each time by gearing of planet wheels 113 integral discs 111 on a fixed wheel 112.
  • the ratio between the fixed wheel 112 and the satellite wheels 113 is 3/2.
  • All the minute discs 111 thus rotate 2.5 times for a complete revolution of the minute cage 115.
  • Each disc thus presents in the display area, at each turn of the cage, alternatively one of its two digits. .
  • the set 110 of disks minutes is arranged so that first appears the digit "0" of the first disk, then the number “1" of the second disk, then the number “2" of the third disk, etc. After a complete turn it is the number "5" of the first disc which this time will appear, etc.
  • the display is repeated every two turns, every ten minutes.
  • the mechanism triggers the rotation of the disc tens a 1/6 of a turn.
  • the mechanism triggers the rotation of the cage 135 hours a quarter of a turn.
  • the hour cage 135 drives the four disks 131 with it and makes them rotate on themselves by 210 ° each time by gearing of planet wheels 133 integral disks 131 on a fixed wheel 132.
  • the ratio between the fixed wheel 132 and the planet wheels 133 is 4 / 3.All the disks hours 131 turn therefore 210 ° x4, two turns 1/3 for a complete turn of the cage 135 hours.
  • Each disc therefore has in the display area, each turn of the cage, alternatively one of its three figures.
  • the set of hours disks 130 is arranged so that the number "1" of the first disc first appears, then the number “2" of the second, and so on. After a complete turn it is the number "5" of the first disc, then the number “6” of the second disc, etc. After a second round, the number “9” appears, then the number "10” of the second disc, etc. The display is repeated every three turns.
  • the figure 4 shows the main elements of the mechanical chain for the implementation of the watch 100. A corresponding nomenclature is provided at the end of this description.
  • the three spiral springs 8, 14 and 19 are armed. Piton side, they are respectively secured to the wheels 7, 13 and 20.
  • the ferrule side they are integral with the axis of the cages hours and minutes and tens disk. It is the continuous rotation of the wheels 7, 13 and 20 which arms the springs side piton while the ferrule side they are fixed, prevented from turning by the locking indexes 4, 10 and 16 shown at the Figure 4 .
  • the actuator lever 2 drops the snail 1 causing the minute locking index 4 which releases the rotation of the minute cage driven by the winding spring 8.
  • the display disks minutes are rotating.
  • the figure 7 shows the fall of the actuating lever 2 which continues and releases the minute locking index 4 which returns to the contact of the minute jump wheel 6, ready to block the rotation when it has performed 1/5 of a turn .
  • the actuator finger 9 rotates the locking index 10 of the tens disk, thus freeing the rotation of the tens disk, as presented in FIG. Figure 8 .
  • the dozens locking index 10 returns to the contact of the tens jump wheel 12 and is ready to block the rotation of the tens disk when it has performed 1/6 turn.
  • the tens locking index 10 blocks the rotation of the tens disk when the latter has made 1/6 turn.
  • the digit "0" of the tens is displayed, as shown in Figure 10 .
  • the hour lock index 16 returns to contact with the hour jump wheel 18 and blocks rotation of the hour cage after 1 ⁇ 4 turn.
  • the number "1" of hours is displayed. The set is locked again until the next jump.
  • the triggering of the jumps is repeated every minute for the display of the minutes, every ten minutes for the display of the tens, and every hour for the display of the hours.
  • the invention can be extended to other embodiments in which, in variants, several disks are provided for the tens (for example three two-digit disks) to further reduce the footprint.
  • the gain obtained is nevertheless only height.
  • the volume gain would be substantially zero.
