Definitions

  • the present invention relates to ring-type energy sources of the repeating type for timepieces. It relates more particularly to an energy source comprising a frame, an elastic member arranged to generate a torque, means for arming said elastic member and kinematic connection means for applying said torque to members of the striking mechanism allowing ensure a ringtone.
  • Such energy sources are generally in the form of a single spring disposed in a barrel or in a housing made in the frame.
  • the timepiece is equipped with stamps and hammers arranged to hit the stamps.
  • the energy stored in the spring is sufficient to drive the mechanism in all cases, while ensuring that the ringing frequency varies only slightly during an indication. It is necessary in particular that the ringing works with the maximum of regularity even when the watch must indicate 12:59 for a minute repetitions and 12:45 for a repetition of the quarters, which corresponds to the maximum of hits to hit.
  • a striking mechanism comprising two springs is described in the patent US 249,845 .
  • This mechanism comprises two bungs and two springs wound in the opposite direction. Each bung is connected to a different barrel shaft so that the bungs are not linked in rotation.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome these disadvantages.
  • the elastic member comprises two springs wound in the same direction in concentric spirals, superimposed and arranged to apply torque to the kinematic connection means.
  • the two springs can be connected in parallel. At first glance, this solution seems less interesting than with springs in series. This is not quite so because the springs can be armed by the same organ as that connected to the kinematic connection means. In this case, this can advantageously be done by the barrel shaft which serves to attach to the inner ends of the two springs. In this way, the outer end of one or both springs can be fixed directly to the frame.
  • the precision of the thickness of the springs is generally insufficient to avoid adjustment of the engine torque.
  • the frame is provided with housings, preferably cylindrical, one of said housings being arranged to receive one of said springs, the latter being secured to the housing wall.
  • the energy source further comprises a ring provided with a toothing and intended to receive the other of said springs.
  • This energy source further comprises a detent device arranged to cooperate with said toothing and allowing adjustment of the arming of said spring.
  • the two springs can however also be connected in series.
  • one of the springs can be connected to a fixed point of the frame by its outer end, to a connecting member, for example a barrel shaft, by its inner end.
  • the second spring is secured to the connecting member by its inner end, and its outer end of the wall of a barrel which provides the function of first element of the kinematic connecting means. It is thus possible to have a motor member having a large number of turns, while having a low ratio height / thickness of blade. Rather than fixing the first spring at a fixed point, it is also possible to have means for angular displacement, so as to adjust the torque of the energy source, and thus the ringing frequency.
  • one of said springs can be connected to a ring provided with a toothing and cooperating with a pawl at its outer end, to a connecting member by its inner end, and the other of said springs can be fixed to said member of connection by its inner end and the wall of a barrel by its outer end, said barrel providing the function of first element of the kinematic connecting means.
  • the energy source is in the form of a module.
  • the invention also relates to a timepiece provided with a repeating ring, comprising hammers and a source of energy as defined above.
  • this energy source is disposed between said hammers.
  • the source of energy as represented in Figures 1 to 3 is in the form of a module 10 comprising a plate 12, two bridges 14 and 16, and a cover 18.
  • the plate 12 and the cover 18 respectively bear bearings 20 and 22.
  • a shaft 24 is engaged in these bearings.
  • the bridges 14 and 16 define a housing 26.
  • the cover 18 is provided with a recess 30 in which a ring 32 is arranged. is provided at its radial periphery with a toothing 32a whose function will be specified later.
  • the shaft 24 has, in some places, a non-cylindrical structure. Bungs 34 and 36 are engaged on this shaft 24, with a central cut of complementary shape to the structure of the shaft 24, so that these bungs are rotatably connected via the shaft 24 and are driven rotating at the same angle when the shaft 24 rotates.
  • leaf springs 38 and 40 are respectively disposed in the housing 26 and the recess 30. They are wound in a spiral, both in the same direction, and fixed by their inner ends respectively to the bungs 34 and 36 and by their outer ends respectively to the wall of the bridge 14 and the wall of the ring 32. In this way, if the shaft 24 is rotated, it drives the springs 38 and 40 by their inner part and tends to arm them.
  • a pawl 42 is positioned by means of a screw 44 on the bridge 16. This pawl is applied by a spring 42a, bearing against a stud 45 mounted on the bridge 16, against the toothing 32a of the ring 32. The pawl 42 prevents the ring 32 from rotating when the shaft 24 arms the spring 38. The pawl 42 is held in place between the bridge 16 and the cover 18.
  • this pawl 42 and the toothing 32a is to allow an adjustment of the ringing speed, by varying the torque exerted by the springs 38 and 40 on the shaft 24, by a pre-arming.
  • Kinematic connection means 46 are arranged on the shaft 24, integral in rotation with the shaft 24. They are intended to cooperate with rakes of the ring, to drive, in a conventional manner, the hammers that includes the timepiece , for hour, quarter and minute ringing.
  • the timepiece comprises, in a well known manner, a flywheel not shown in the drawing.
  • a ratchet wheel 48 is mounted on the shaft 24, integral in rotation.
  • a flywheel 50 is mounted idly on this shaft 24, adjacent to the ratchet wheel 48. It carries a pawl 52 in engagement with the ratchet wheel 48.
  • the wheel 50 remains fixed, because the pawl 52 jumps on the teeth of the ratchet wheel 48, whereas, when the shaft rotates in the opposite direction, during the driving of the ringing means, the steering wheel turns, driving with it the steering wheel speed.
  • the winding of the springs 38 and 40 is ensured, in a conventional manner, by a bolt secured to the timepiece box, cooperating at least mediately with a rack pinion 54, integral in rotation with the shaft 24.
  • the user of the timepiece wishes to listen to the time, it arms the springs 38 and 40 by means of the bolt which is provided with the watch case, which cooperates with the pinion 54.
  • the flywheel 50 remains fixed, because of the ratchet 52.
  • the rakes of the ring are set up, so that when the bolt is released, the springs 38 and 40, thanks to the couple they apply on the tree 24, drive the kinematic connecting means, which cooperate with the rakes to move the hammers that strike the time on the stamps.
  • the main advantage of the invention is the adjustment of the initial ringing torque by partially arming one of the springs in parallel.
  • the two springs must have their respective bungs rotatably connected via the barrel shaft common to these two bungs, thus constituting a common bung. They must be wound in the same direction to be armed, before the ring, by the same organ, namely the barrel shaft.
  • this ringing torque adjustment is as follows: one of the springs 38 is inserted into the housing of the bridge 14 and is prestressed. The assembly is held in position and can not rotate thanks to the pawl 52. Then, the second spring 40 is inserted into the ring 32.
  • the system is retained and can not turn.
  • the watchmaker adjusts the torque to optimize it, he will move the pawl 42 and rotate the ring 32, which will have the effect of pre-arming the spring 40 by means of its flange against the inner wall of the ring 32.
  • Another advantage is the simplification of the system while optimizing it: indeed, it suffices to add the part comprising the second spring 40, the bung 36, the ring 32, the pawl 42 and the cover 18 to the source system.
  • standard energy ringer to improve the constancy of the ringing torque. This system could therefore be relatively easily adapted to any type of standard repeat ring.
  • the springs 38 and 40 are arranged in series.
  • the energy source comprises two barrels, each comprising a drum and a spring.
  • a single tree passes through the two barrels.
  • This tree is provided with two bungs, one in each of the barrels.
  • Each of the barrels serves as a housing for a leaf spring.
  • the winding of the spring is done by acting on the periphery of one of the barrel drums.
  • the spring which is provided with this barrel is armed by applying a torque on the barrel shaft, which is reflected on the spring of the second barrel. This second spring is armed.
  • the connecting means are integral with the drum of the second barrel rather than the shaft, as was the case in the illustrated example.
  • a source of energy as described and shown may be provided with two springs 38 and 40 of identical dimensions, having a length of 110 to 170 mm, a thickness of 0.08 to 0.10 mm and a height of 0. , 70 to 0.90 mm.
  • the diameter of the housing 26 and the inside of the ring 32 is from 5.00 to 5.50 mm.
  • a clearance of 0.05 to 0.10 mm is provided between the springs 38 and 40 and the flat bridge walls 14 and 16, and the bridge 16 and the cover 18.
  • Such a power source can advantageously be used in a movement for a timepiece as schematically and partially represented on the figure 4 .
  • This figure shows the module 10 as represented on the Figures 1 to 3 .
  • This module 10 is fixed on a plate 62.
  • Hammers 64 and 66 are arranged on either side of the module 10.
  • Stamps in the form of son fixed to the plate in a part of it not visible at design, are arranged so that each of the hammers 64 and 66 comes to hit one of them when they are driven by the springs 38 and 40.
  • the fact of placing the energy source that constitutes the module 10 between the hammers 64 and 66 offer a particularly advantageous disposition relative to the space occupied in the movement.
  • it is necessary that the son constituting the stamps are as long as possible. It is therefore necessary that the area occupied by the module is as low as possible, hence the advantage of having two springs barrels superimposed.
  • the energy source according to the invention can, of course, have many variants without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the energy source can be directly integrated into the movement rather than being in the form of an independent module.
  • the structure of the frame can be made very differently, with more or less component parts.
  • the bearing 22 could be disposed on the bridge 16 and the ring 32 be replaced by a mounted drum drum flying on the shaft 24. It would thus be possible to remove the cover 18.
