Definitions
- the invention relates to an assembly system by ratchet locking and, more precisely, to such an assembly system allowing the use of a fragile material, that is to say not comprising a usable plastic domain.
- the documents FROM 19 22 435 and US 3,667,307 disclose examples of ratchet - ratchet wheel assemblies making it possible to make two elements in movement integral in one direction of rotation and, independent, in the opposite direction.
- the document US 4,702,122 described at figure 2 a coupling system between a wheel having an internal gear 56 and a spring part 58, integral with an axis, comprising an arm 66 with a tenon 68. The tenon 68 engages in the gear 56 so that the system is united during rotations.
- the aim of the present invention is to alleviate all or part of the drawbacks mentioned above by proposing a securing system which does not increase the thickness of the respective members and which is applicable to fragile materials.
- the invention relates to an assembly system according to independent claim 1.
- the invention therefore advantageously makes it possible to join two elements together in the same plane, that is to say without increasing the thickness of the elements, and without plastic deformation which may, depending on the nature of the materials, be potentially destructive.
- the invention also relates to a timepiece characterized in that it comprises an assembly system according to claim 1.
- the invention relates to an assembly system applicable to a fragile material, that is to say not comprising a plastic domain such as a material based on monocrystalline silicon.
- This assembly system was designed for applications in the watchmaking field.
- other fields can perfectly be imagined, such as aeronautics, jewelry or the automobile.
- this assembly system is made necessary by the increasing share held by fragile materials such as those based on silicon, quartz, corundum or more generally ceramic. It is possible, for example, to envisage forming the hairspring, the balance, the anchor, the bridges or even the moving parts such as the escape wheels totally or partially based on fragile materials.
- the present application proposes a system for assembling a part, which can be integral with an axis, in the opening of a part, which can form a part mounted in rotation, characterized in that it has a securing system between the part and the part comprising at least one ratchet device intended to make the movements of the part and the part integral.
- said at least one ratchet device comprises an elastic arm forming a ratchet blocking an assembly of the tenon-mortise type in order to avoid relative movements between the part and the part. It will therefore be understood that neither the part nor the part are plastically stressed in order to become integral with one another.

- part 5 is introduced into opening 18 of part 3 so that tenon 14 slides laterally in the recess 15 of part 5 as shown in figure 1 .
- a relative rotational movement of part 5 with respect to part 3 is then printed in order to slide the tenon 14 against the cam 17 in order to progressively separate the tenon 14 from the part 5.
- the relative movement is continued until the tenon 14 rocks in the mortise 16 in order to elastically block the tenon 14 - mortise 16 assembly by the arm 13 forming the pawl as illustrated in figure 2 .
- the tenon 14 of part 3 is made integral in movement with the mortise 16 of part 5, that is to say whatever the movement, under the stress induced by the elastic return of the arm 13 forming pawl.
- An assembly system 19 is thus obtained, the securing system 1 of which does not require an increase in the thickness of the members, that is to say of the part 3 and of the part 5, and which is particularly applicable to fragile materials.
- the securing system 1 can include several ratchet devices 11 mounted around the opening 18 of the part 3.
- the part 3 can form all or part of a hairspring, a balance, an anchor, a bridge or even a mobile like an escape wheel.

- part 23 and part 25 are made.
- the steps in the manufacture of part 23 and part 25 do not have to be consecutive and can even be carried out at the same time.
- part 25 is introduced into opening 38 of part 23 so that tenon 34 slides substantially against stop 40 of part 23 as illustrated in figure 1 .
- a relative rotational movement of part 25 relative to part 23 is then imparted in order to slide against arm 33, tenon 34 in order to gradually move the free end 27 of arm 33 aside. of part 25. It is understood, during this relative movement, that the free end 27 of the arm 33 comprising the mortise 36 is therefore progressively moved towards the recess 35.

- the securing system 41 between the part 43 and the part 45 comprises three ratchet devices 51.
- Each ratchet device 51 comprises an arm 53 forming a pawl which is produced in the part 43.
- the arm 53 is thus elastically mounted on the part 43 at a first end 52 to form a pawl as explained below.
- the arm 53 comprises at its second free end, a bead 47 intended to form a wall of the mortise 56 which projects into the substantially central opening 58 of the part 43.
- the part 43 comprises, for each device ratchet 51, a stopper 60 intended to center the part 45 in the opening 58 but also to form the rest of the mortise 56 in cooperation with the bead 47.
- Each ratchet device 51 also comprises a tenon 54 formed in part 45 and intended to cooperate with the mortise 56 formed by the stop 60 and the bead 47 to secure the part 43 with the part 45.
- the part 43 has a recess 55 which faces each bead 47 of an arm 53 and which is intended to form a clearance necessary for the elastic movement of said arm.
- the ratchet device 51 of the securing system 41 between the part 43 and the part 45 is activated as explained below.
- part 43 and part 45 are made.
- the stages of manufacture of part 43 and part 45 do not have to be consecutive and can even be carried out at the same time.
- part 45 is introduced into opening 58 of part 53 as shown in figure 1 .

Toutefois, d'autres domaines peuvent parfaitement être imaginés comme notamment l'aéronautique, la bijouterie ou l'automobile.As explained above, the invention relates to an assembly system applicable to a fragile material, that is to say not comprising a plastic domain such as a material based on monocrystalline silicon. This assembly system was designed for applications in the watchmaking field. However, other fields can perfectly be imagined, such as aeronautics, jewelry or the automobile.
Dans le domaine horloger, ce système d'assemblage est rendu nécessaire par la part croissante que tiennent les matériaux fragiles comme ceux à base de silicium, de quartz, de corindon ou plus généralement de céramique. On peut, à titre d'exemple, envisager de former le spiral, le balancier, l'ancre, les ponts ou même les mobiles comme les roues d'échappement totalement ou partiellement à base de matériaux fragiles.In the watchmaking field, this assembly system is made necessary by the increasing share held by fragile materials such as those based on silicon, quartz, corundum or more generally ceramic. It is possible, for example, to envisage forming the hairspring, the balance, the anchor, the bridges or even the moving parts such as the escape wheels totally or partially based on fragile materials.
Toutefois, le fait de toujours pouvoir utiliser des axes habituels en acier dont la fabrication est maîtrisée, est une contrainte qui est difficile à concilier avec l'utilisation de pièces ne comportant pas de domaine plastique. En effet, lors de tests effectués, le chassage d'un axe en acier est impossible et brise systématiquement les pièces fragiles, c'est-à-dire ne comportant pas de domaine plastique. Par exemple, il est apparu que le cisaillement généré par l'entrée de l'axe métallique dans l'ouverture d'une pièce en silicium brise systématique cette dernière.However, the fact of always being able to use the usual steel shafts, the manufacture of which is controlled, is a constraint which is difficult to reconcile with the use of parts not comprising a plastic domain. In fact, during tests carried out, driving out a steel pin is impossible and systematically breaks fragile parts, that is to say that do not include a plastic domain. For example, it appeared that the shear generated by the entry of the metal shaft into the opening of a silicon part systematically breaks the latter.
C'est pourquoi, la présente demande propose un système d'assemblage d'une partie, pouvant être solidaire d'un axe, dans l'ouverture d'une pièce, pouvant former une pièce montée en rotation, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un système de solidarisation entre la pièce et la partie comportant au moins un dispositif à cliquet destiné à rendre solidaires les mouvements de la pièce et de la partie.This is why the present application proposes a system for assembling a part, which can be integral with an axis, in the opening of a part, which can form a part mounted in rotation, characterized in that it has a securing system between the part and the part comprising at least one ratchet device intended to make the movements of the part and the part integral.
Préférentiellement, ledit au moins un dispositif à cliquet comporte un bras élastique formant cliquet bloquant un ensemble du type tenon - mortaise afin d'éviter les mouvements relatifs entre la pièce et la partie. On comprend donc que ni la pièce ni la partie ne sont sollicitées plastiquement pour se solidariser l'une par rapport à l'autre.Preferably, said at least one ratchet device comprises an elastic arm forming a ratchet blocking an assembly of the tenon-mortise type in order to avoid relative movements between the part and the part. It will therefore be understood that neither the part nor the part are plastically stressed in order to become integral with one another.
Le système de solidarisation entre la pièce et la partie sera mieux compris à l'aide des
Le dispositif à cliquet 11 comporte également une mortaise 16 formée dans la partie 5 et destinée à coopérer avec le tenon 14 du bras 13 pour solidariser la pièce 3 avec la partie 5. A la
Le dispositif à cliquet 11 du système de solidarisation 1 entre la pièce 3 et la partie 5 est activé comme expliqué ci-dessous. Tout d'abord, la pièce 3 et la partie 5 sont fabriquées. Les étapes de fabrication des pièce 3 et partie 5 n'ont pas de consécutivité à respecter et peuvent même être réalisées en même temps.The
Dans un premier temps, la partie 5 est introduite dans l'ouverture 18 de la pièce 3 de manière à ce que le tenon 14 glisse latéralement dans l'évidement 15 de la partie 5 comme illustré à la
On comprend donc que le tenon 14 de la pièce 3 est rendu solidaire en mouvement de la mortaise 16 de la partie 5, c'est-à-dire quel que soit le mouvement, sous la contrainte induite par le retour élastique du bras 13 formant cliquet. On obtient ainsi un système d'assemblage 19 dont le système de solidarisation 1 ne nécessite pas l'augmentation de l'épaisseur des organes, c'est-à-dire de la pièce 3 et de la partie 5, et qui est applicable notamment à des matériaux fragiles.It is therefore understood that the
Bien entendu, le système de solidarisation 1 peut comporter plusieurs dispositifs à cliquet 11 montés autour de l'ouverture 18 de la pièce 3. De même, la pièce 3 peut former tout ou partie d'un spiral, d'un balancier, d'une ancre, d'un pont ou même d'un mobile comme une roue d'échappement. De manière similaire, la partie 5 peut être solidarisée à un axe, une goupille ou plus généralement à un élément quelconque en une seule pièce, c'est-à-dire de manière monobloc ou à l'aide de plusieurs pièces.Of course, the securing system 1 can include
