Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a clockwork comprising a module provided with a first mobile meshing with a second mobile pivoting in a base on which is mounted the module.
  • the invention relates to a clockwork comprising an exhaust-holder forming a module in which the exhaust is arranged, namely the balance spring, the anchor and the escapement mobile.
  • This mobile exhaust is formed of an exhaust plate and an exhaust pinion which, in the finished movement, meshes with a wheel of the train mounted on the plate on which is fixed the exhaust door.
  • the The module is generally positioned by two feet (or pins) machined or arranged in the base, which penetrate into two respective holes machined in a plate or bridge of the module. Once positioned, the module is fixed by at least one screw to the base. Given the manufacturing tolerances for the feet, the holes and the bearings of the first and second mobiles in various parts of the blank, we obtain an approximate positioning of the module and a significant variation in the distance between these first and second mobile.
  • FIGS. Figures 2 and 3 To the Figures 1 to 3 is represented a movement in which is mounted an exhaust holder 2 on a plate 4 according to the technique mentioned above.
  • the escapement mobile 6 is pivotally mounted between a lower plate 8 and an upper deck 10 of the exhaust-door, just like the rocker 12.
  • the exhaust carrier is mounted on a foot or, as shown, on an internally threaded cylinder 16 around which it can rotate to be brought by a horizontal rotation in a final position shown in FIGS. Figures 2 and 3 . In this position final, the pinion 18 of the escapement mobile meshes with a wheel 14 of the gear mounted on the plate.
  • two fixing screws are provided, the first being screwed into the cylinder 16 and the second being screwed into a threaded hole 20 of the plate through a frustoconical hole 22 provided in the upper deck 10.
  • the mounting tolerances of the escapement wheel and the wheel 14 respectively in the exhaust holder and on the plate do not allow to obtain a precise and predetermined spacing.
  • mounting the exhaust door on the plate has a significant tolerance that greatly increases the problem.
  • the penetration of the gear pinion 18 into the toothing of the wheel 14 is not precisely determined and has an uncontrolled variable character which negatively influences the operation of the exhaust.
  • a module defining a distinct unit with at least one first pivoting mobile in this module
  • this first mobile must mesh with a second mobile pivoting on the base
  • the distance between the first and second mobiles varies around the optimum distance; which affects the smooth running of the watch movement.
  • the meshing between the first and second mobile is pejorated by many manufacturing tolerances; this particularly with the planned modular construction. Thus it is difficult to obtain a predetermined distance.
  • the subject of the present invention is a watch movement comprising a module, provided with a first mobile unit meshing with a second pivoting mobile in a base on which this module is mounted, and means for positioning the module on the based.
  • the positioning means are formed by an eccentric whose profile / periphery at least defines for the most part an Archimedean spiral or an optimized Archimedean spiral, this eccentric being arranged in such a way that it makes it possible to adjust the spacing between the first and second movable when rotated about the geometric center of said Archimedes spiral or said optimized Archimedean spiral.
  • the eccentric is calibrated.
  • the invention also relates to a method of adjusting the distance between a first watch mobile, pivotally mounted in a module that is rotatable about a geometric axis relative to a base on which it is mounted, and a second mobile watchmaker pivoting on said base.
  • the steps of this process are given in appended claim 6.
  • the module is an exhaust door, the first mobile being the exhaust pinion and the second mobile being a wheel of the train mounted on a plate defining the base.
  • the module 36 is an exhaust door
  • the first mobile 18 is the exhaust pinion
  • the second mobile 14 is a wheel 32 of the train mounted on a plate 4 defining said base.
  • the wheel 32 is the seconds wheel.
  • the lateral surface 42 of the eccentric 40 forming its periphery substantially defines an Archimedean spiral in a plane perpendicular to its axis of rotation.
  • the parameter P can be chosen according to the particular configuration and the value of the expected withdrawal for optimize the meshing of the two mobiles. It can have a positive or negative mathematical sign. Note that the eccentric 40 corresponds to a negative sign.
  • the spiral thus has a pitch of P ⁇ 2 ⁇ and has a remarkable characteristic, namely that its distance to the center always increases by the same value for a given increase of the angle ⁇ whatever the initial value ⁇ 0.
  • This has the consequence that a rotation of the eccentric of a given angle corresponds to a determined increase of the radius R whatever the initial position of the eccentric.
  • the invention takes advantage of this particular feature.
  • the lateral surface of the eccentric defines an Archimedean spiral, it is understood that it corresponds to a turn of such a spiral, for example the tenth or the twentieth.
  • the Archimedes spiral is optimized because the center of this spiral is distinct from that of the two mobiles and the support surface of the module against the eccentric is not always perpendicular to the direction of rotation (direction tangential) of this module.
  • the Archimedes spiral is thus optimized by calculation as a function in particular of the positions of the two mobiles, the position of the eccentric and the bearing surface of the module against this eccentric in order to have the linear characteristic provided between angle of rotation of the eccentric and the variation of the distance between the two mobiles.
  • the method according to the invention therefore proposes to insert the teeth of the two mobiles in question until the mobiles are in abutment against each other. This defines a particular position that is not influenced by manufacturing tolerances. In this particular position, the center distance is essentially defined by the dimensions of the two mobiles that mesh. It will be noted that the lateral play of the mobiles in their respective bearings has the consequence that the two mobiles are not exactly in their free position. This phenomenon can be taken into account when determining the angular distance involved in step D) of the method according to the invention described above.
  • the angle of rotation of the eccentric 40 corresponds to a determined translation of said first mobile relative to said second mobile, and this that is the initial position of this eccentric when the two mobile are in abutment.
  • this determined translation used to optimize meshing is freed from the various manufacturing tolerances with the exception of manufacturing tolerance of the eccentric. This follows from the specific profile provided for the periphery of the eccentric.
  • the eccentric is calibrated so that the angle of rotation necessary to obtain the aforementioned determined translation corresponds to a predetermined angle.
  • a spring 56 is provided in a variant of the process of the invention.
  • This spring is preferably mounted after bringing the exhaust holder on the plate and bringing it to a position where the two wheels are in contact.
  • the eccentric 40 is angularly positioned so that it is in abutment against the lateral surface 48 of the module 36. In this configuration it has an initial position for example as represented in Figure 5 . Then, the practitioner or an automaton turns the eccentric in the direction that distances the first mobile from the second mobile
  • the axis of the eccentric will preferably be arranged as a function of the dispersion of the manufacturing tolerances so that the point or zone of contact of this eccentric with the lateral surface 48 of the module 36 is located, if possible, substantially in a predefined zone of the turn defined by the periphery of the eccentric.
  • we will take into account the maximum tolerance at the lateral bearing surface 48 in the intermediate position where the two mobiles support one against the other relative to the eccentric mounted on the plate 4 and also the direction in which the eccentric is rotated to perform the controlled and predetermined withdrawal.
  • the expected withdrawal is 0.05 mm to ensure proper operation of the movement.
  • the pitch of the selected hairspring must be at least 0.2 mm at the withdrawal of 0.05 mm and the maximum variation of 0.15 mm in the relative positioning of the eccentric with the module. Since the angular distance for the withdrawal is always in the same direction, the theoretical position of the axis of the eccentric is provided so that in the theoretical position of contact with the module in its aforementioned intermediate position is at a corresponding angular distance. to an increase of 0.075 mm since the recess 58 around the eccentric in the direction of rotation away from the first mobile of the second mobile.
  • the expected shrinkage advantageously corresponds to a 90 ° angle, which a practitioner can perform approximately easily by a simple observation of the initial position of the slot 44 on the eccentric in the intermediate position and a visual identification of the final position in which the eccentric must be brought; namely here at the perpendicular of the initial position.
  • the recess 58 we will preferably choose a spiral pitch a little higher than the limit case.
  • the eccentric is mounted in the module 36 and is therefore integral therewith.
  • the lateral surface against which this eccentric is supported is that of a portion secured to the base 4.
  • the method of adjusting the distance between the two mobiles remains similar to that of the first embodiment described above. . This is a technical reversal that the person skilled in the art will easily conceive.
  • the upper bridge has an oblong hole 62 in front of which is located a threaded hole 64 in the plate 4.
  • the holder Exhaust is thus fixed in the final position by means of a flat head screw 76 through the oblong hole.
  • the tapped hole can also be provided in a pin that fits partially into the oblong hole.
  • a tapped hole 66 coaxial with this axis of rotation for a second fastening screw 78.
  • the method of adjusting the distance according to the invention can also be achieved by an eccentric arranged temporarily on the base or on the module, in particular by means of a tool comprising the eccentric of the invention.
  • the tool and the base or module then comprise complementary means for positioning the tool at a given location and to rotate the tool accurately to achieve the intended adjustment, especially around a geometric axis passing through the center Archimedean spiral or Archimedean spiral optimized.
  • the invention also relates to the horological movement 30 arranged to implement the method of adjusting the meshing of two mobiles described above.
  • This watch movement comprises a module 36 provided with a first mobile 18 meshing with a second mobile 32 pivoting on a base 4 on which is mounted the module.
  • This module before it is optionally fixed rigidly to the base, is mounted on this base so that it can rotate horizontally about a geometric axis 38.
  • a foot or a pin 66 of the base is arranged in a hole of the module 36.
  • the movement comprises positioning means formed by an eccentric 40 whose periphery 42 at least defines for the most part a spiral of 'Archimedes.
  • the eccentric is calibrated. The choice of the Archimedean spiral has been explained previously.
  • a lateral surface 48 of the module 36 remote from the geometric axis 38, is capable of being pressed against the eccentric over a certain angular distance when it is turned on itself.
  • this lateral surface can be pressed against the eccentric at least when the latter is turned between an intermediate position, in which the two mobiles 18 and 32 abut against each other with their respective teeth that penetrate each other. , and a final position in which these two mobiles are spaced from each other by a given distance to release them and increase the efficiency of the meshing of the two mobiles.
  • the lateral surface 48 is situated in a first zone opposite, relative to a geometric plane 70 defined by the parallel axes of rotation 72 and 74 of the first and second mobiles, to a second zone in which the geometric axis 38 is located.
  • L between these two axes of rotation defines the center distance which is adjusted according to the invention by turning the eccentric substantially over a given angular distance, corresponding to a determined translation of the first mobile relative to the second mobile, from a particular position in which the toothing of the first module penetrates to the maximum the toothing of the second mobile.
  • This particular position has the advantage of being determined only by the dimensions of both mobiles and to overcome manufacturing tolerances.
  • the present invention is particularly useful when the module is an exhaust door, the first mobile being the exhaust pinion and the second mobile being a wheel of the gear mounted on a plate defining said base. In general it is the last wheel of the wheel, especially the seconds wheel.
