Definitions

  • An acoustic radiation membrane for a music box such as a musical watch, or a bell watch.
  • the invention also relates to a watch, which comprises an acoustic radiation membrane.
  • the watch comprises a watch case consisting essentially of a middle and a bottom fixed and securely attached to the middle part.
  • An ice is disposed on a side opposite the bottom to seal said box.
  • a watch movement is maintained inside the watch case and provided with a striking mechanism that can be activated in specified periods of time to produce sound or music.
  • the acoustic radiation membrane is connected to the box to radiate the sound produced by the striking mechanism to the outside of the box.
  • a watch movement of a traditional architecture may also include a striking mechanism.
  • This striking mechanism can be provided to generate at least one sound via a hammer struck stamp at times determined in a bell watch to signal a programmed alarm or minute repetitions.
  • This stamp is usually a circular wire, which surrounds part of the watch movement in a watch cage. This stamp is attached to a stamp holder attached to a plate or the watch case.
  • the striking mechanism may also be provided to generate music via a multi-blade keyboard individually activated by pins of a cylinder or disc in a musical watch.
  • the keyboard blades are connected to the same heel, which can be fixed on the plate or the watch case, and the pins of the cylinder or rotating disk can lift the free end of some blades. Following the bending of the blades by the action of the pins, these blades are released by the pins.
  • the activated blades oscillate essentially at their first natural frequency.
  • the timbre of the bell watch or the keyboard of the musical watch are arranged inside the watch case.
  • the vibrations of the timbre or the keyboard blades are transmitted to the trim parts.
  • These pieces of clothing are for example the middle part, the bezel, the ice and the bottom of the watch case. These large pieces begin to radiate sound in the air under the effect of transmitted vibrations. When a sound is produced either by a stamp struck by a hammer or by one or more blades of the vibrating keyboard, these pieces of clothing are able to radiate the sound produced in the air.
  • the acoustic output based on the complex vibro-acoustic transduction of the trim pieces, is low.
  • the material, geometry and boundary conditions of the trim pieces must be taken into account.
  • the configurations of these pieces of clothing are also dependent on the aesthetics of the watch and operating constraints, which may limit the possibilities of adaptation.
  • a membrane of the acoustic type which is dedicated to vibro-acoustic transduction.
  • a piezoelectric element for example on the membrane to make it vibrate as mentioned in the patent CH 581 860 . So that the sound radiation of the membrane is not lost in the watch, which must be sealed, it can be provided a double bottom of the watch case, which is open to the outside. In this case, the bottom of the watch case has one or more openings for transmitting the sound of the vibrating membrane.
  • This membrane must in principle have its first natural vibration frequency, which is the effective mode of radiation, in the useful acoustic frequency band.
  • its second natural frequency which is an inefficient mode, must be outside this audible band if possible.
  • the useful acoustic frequency band is generally between 1 kHz and 4 kHz.
  • the physical properties such as the density and the Young's modulus, must make it possible to adapt the first and second eigenfrequencies. If this membrane is made of steel, the first and second natural frequencies of vibration do not fulfill the above conditions optimally. In addition, a rapid depreciation is found, which is a disadvantage.
  • this membrane In a standard bell watch, which is provided for example with an acoustic membrane, this membrane is sandwiched between a portion of the middle part and the bottom of the watch case.
  • the bottom can be made of a precious material, such as gold. It can occur in contact with the membrane usually made of steel with the gold bottom, an electrochemical potential difference especially in a humid environment. This is likely to promote the corrosion of said membrane at the contact with the gold background, which is a drawback. It must therefore also be found a stainless material with no potential difference with gold and whose internal damping is low.
  • the purpose of the invention is therefore to overcome the drawbacks of the state of the art mentioned above by providing an acoustic radiation membrane for a music box or a striking watch, made in such a way as to obtain the most uniform amplification possible on the audible frequency band, essentially in the frequency range between 1 kHz and 4 kHz.
  • the invention relates to an acoustic radiation membrane comprising the characteristics defined in independent claim 1.
  • An advantage of the acoustic radiation membrane according to the present invention lies in the fact that it comprises on at least a first thickness smaller than the total thickness of the membrane a number of cells or protruding portions. These cavities or protruding portions are of size and shape, which depend on the type of membrane material and note or musical notes to radiate effectively.
  • the acoustic radiation membrane consists of at least two sheets, of which one of the sheets at the first thickness, is provided with a number of cells preferably distributed in the form of a honeycomb. Each cell can be shaped and dimension dependent on the musical note to radiate effectively.
  • the first sheet may comprise a number of cells of different size to efficiently radiate an equivalent number of musical notes. This thus makes it possible to increase the overall acoustic level, which can be perceived by a user of the music box or ringing watch in which said acoustic membrane is placed.
  • the acoustic radiation membrane comprises a first sheet with honeycomb cells uniformly distributed, which is fixed on a second sheet without cells, and a third sheet with cells including honeycomb, fixed on one side opposite of the second sheet.
  • the second sheet may be a gold leaf
  • the first and third sheets may be provided in amorphous metal or metal glass, or also in gold.
  • the arrangement of several cell sheets may also make it possible to increase the number of eigenfrequencies in the useful audible frequency band, namely between 1 kHz and 4 kHz, in order also to increase the overall acoustic level. With such a membrane, there is a very low damping, which allows to obtain a very good sound output.
  • the invention also relates to a watch provided with an acoustic radiation membrane comprising the characteristics defined in the independent claim 13.

  • This first sheet 2 may be glued or soldered to a first face of a second sheet 3 without cells so as to ensure a certain seal inside the watch, once the membrane is mounted in the watch case.
  • a third sheet 4 with cells 6 of identical or different size can still be glued or brazed to a second face of the second sheet 3.
  • the cells 5 of the first sheet 2 can be arranged opposite the cells 6 of identical or different size of the third sheet 4.
  • the membrane 1 comprises only the first sheet 2 at a first thickness and the second sheet 3 at a second thickness.

  • the cells 5, 6 of the first sheet 2 and the third sheet 4 are evenly spaced from each other, and configured in the form of a honeycomb with six identical sides. Although only three cells are represented on the figure 1 it is understood that said membrane 1 may comprise a larger number of cells to occupy most of the surface of the acoustic membrane 1. Other shapes of cells may also be imagined, for example circular or oval, but the honeycomb configuration makes it possible to better fill the surface of the cell membrane.
  • all the cells of the first sheet 2 are of identical shape and size.
  • the size is determined also according to the material of the first sheet 2 and the second sheet 3.
  • the larger the cell size the higher the corresponding frequency is serious, i.e. low frequency.
  • the greater the total thickness of the membrane 1 is important, and the frequency of the radiated note is high.
  • the total thickness of the membrane is in principle less than or equal to 1 mm.

  • the first, second and third sheets 2, 3, 4 of the acoustic membrane 1 are made of a metallic material, which may be different for each sheet or the same, or of metal glass for at least one of the three sheets.
  • the second sheet 3 without cavities may be made of gold or titanium
  • the first and third sheets 2, 4 are made of amorphous metal or metal glass. It may be conceivable that all sheets are made of gold or titanium to define a membrane of the same material.
  • the acoustic membrane 1 it is preferable to first machine the cells 5, 6 on the first sheet 2 and the third sheet 4 before their attachment by bonding or brazing on the second sheet 3.
  • the cells 5 , 6 in the first and third sheets are machined for example by stamping or etching.
  • the acoustic radiation membrane 1 may be composed of more than two cell sheets to define a set of cell sheets, and at least one sheet without cells inserted between two of the cell sheets. All leaves are glued or brazed one on the other. Each sheet may have the same thickness, for example of the order of 0.1 mm or a thickness different from one another, but the total thickness of the membrane must in principle be less than or equal to 1 mm depending on the material. selected. Each cell sheet can thus be configured for the radiation of a given note among several notes to be radiated by the membrane with uniform amplification.
  • the figure 2 represents a simplified three-dimensional view of the acoustic membrane 1 once all the sheets are assembled.
  • This acoustic membrane 1 to be mounted in a ring or musical watch may be circular in shape with a diameter of between 20 and 40 mm, preferably close to 31 mm. It can be flat or bowl-shaped as shown partly in the figure 3 explained below.

  • the thickness of this membrane 1 may be less than or equal to 1 mm.
  • the ring or musical watch 10 also comprises a watch movement 20, which is generally mounted on a plate 24.
  • An edge piece 22 is fixed to the plate 24, which defines a watch cage.
