Abstract

The timepiece movement includes a drive member and a finishing gear-train comprising a center mobile (23, 24, 25) that connects said drive member to an escapement controlled by a regulator. Said movement differs in that the drive member comprises two groups of barrels (1, 2) and in that each of said barrel groups comprises at least two coaxial barrels mounted in series. Both groups of barrels (1, 2) are mounted in parallel, the output frame (10) of each group of barrels (1, 2) engaging with a wheel (24) of the center mobile (23, 24, 25). No mobile from the finishing gear-train is even partially placed over one or the other of the groups of barrels (1, 2).

Description

Mouvement de montre  Watch movement
La présente invention a pour but la réalisation d'un mouvement de montre de faible épaisseur possédant une réserve de marche importante, par exemple de l'ordre de quarante-huit heures. De plus, le mouvement doit pouvoir être à remontage automatique à l'aide d'un rotor central ou à remontage manuel. Pour permettre un remontage automatique par rotor central tout en maintenant une faible épaisseur du mouvement, il faut dégager le centre de celui-ci pour que la fixation centrale du rotor ne se situe pas au-dessus de l'organe moteur du mouvement, le cumul des encombrements en hauteur de la fixation centrale du rotor et d'un barillet interdisant toute conception d'un mouvement mince ou plat. Mais le déplacement de l'organe moteur usuel vers la périphérie du mouvement ne permet pas d'atteindre la réserve de marche désirée ni le couple nécessaire au bon fonctionnement du mouvement. The present invention aims to achieve a thin watch movement having a significant power reserve, for example of the order of forty-eight hours. In addition, the movement must be able to be self-winding using a central rotor or manual winding. To allow automatic rewinding by central rotor while maintaining a small thickness of the movement, it is necessary to clear the center of the latter so that the central fixation of the rotor is not located above the motor member of the movement, the accumulation congestion height of the central attachment of the rotor and a barrel prohibiting any design of a thin or flat movement. But the displacement of the usual drive member to the periphery of the movement does not achieve the desired power reserve or the torque necessary for the proper operation of the movement.
C'est pourquoi la présente invention propose une implantation particulière de l'organe moteur du mouvement dans ce dernier et une réalisation particulière de ce moteur pour atteindre le but recherché de réaliser un mouvement plat ou mince présentant une réserve de marche et un couple suffisant et permettant de faire de la place au centre du mouvement pour le rouage de finissage notamment.  This is why the present invention proposes a particular implementation of the drive member of the movement in the latter and a particular embodiment of this motor to achieve the desired goal of achieving a flat or thin movement with a power reserve and sufficient torque and allowing to make room in the center of the movement for the wheel of finishing in particular.
La présente invention a pour objet un mouvement d'horlogerie plat comprenant un organe moteur, un rouage de finissage comportant un mobile de centre reliant cet organe moteur à un échappement piloté par un régulateur, l'organe moteur comportant deux groupes de barillets, chacun de ces groupes de barillets comportant au moins deux barillets coaxiaux montés en série, les deux groupes de barillets étant montés en parallèle, la dernière cage de chacun des groupes de barillets engrenant avec une roue du mobile de centre, aucun mobile du rouage de finissage n'étant superposé, même partiellement, à l'un ou l'autre des groupes de barillets. La présente invention a également pour objet une pièce d'horlogerie munie d'un mouvement tel que défini à la revendication 1. The subject of the present invention is a flat clockwork comprising a driving member, a finishing gear comprising a center wheel connecting this motor unit to an exhaust controlled by a regulator, the motor unit comprising two groups of barrels, each of which these groups of barrels having at least two coaxial barrels mounted in series, the two groups of barrels being mounted in parallel, the last cage of each group of barrels meshing with a wheel of the mobile center, no mobile of the gear train finishing n ' being superimposed, even partially, on one or the other group of barrels. The present invention also relates to a timepiece provided with a movement as defined in claim 1.
Le mouvement d'horlogerie plat selon l'invention présente également des caractéristiques additionnelles telles que définies dans les revendications dépendantes.  The flat clockwork according to the invention also has additional features as defined in the dependent claims.
Les dessins annexés illustrent schématiquement et à titre d'exemple un mouvement d'horlogerie selon l'invention.  The accompanying drawings illustrate schematically and by way of example a watch movement according to the invention.
La figure 1 est une vue partielle du côté opposé au cadran.  Figure 1 is a partial view of the side opposite the dial.
La figure 2 est une coupe suivant la ligne ll-ll de la figure 1.  Figure 2 is a section along the line 11-11 of Figure 1.
Les figures 3 et 4 sont des vues schématiques partielles en perspective du mouvement illustrant l'implantation de son organe moteur, de la roue à cliquet et d'une partie de son rouage de finissage.  Figures 3 and 4 are partial schematic perspective views of the movement illustrating the implementation of its drive member, the ratchet wheel and a part of its work train.
La présente invention a pour ambition la réalisation d'un mouvement d'horlogerie mince, plat, c'est-à-dire ne dépassant pas 3 mm, typiquement 2,6 mm d'épaisseur, comportant une masse de remontage automatique pivotée au centre et présentant une réserve de marche confortable, soit de l'ordre de quarante-huit heures, et un couple moteur suffisant pour entretenir un oscillateur d'une fréquence de 4 Hz et d'une inertie de 5mg cm2. The present invention aims to achieve a thin, flat watch movement, that is to say not exceeding 3 mm, typically 2.6 mm thick, comprising an automatic winding mass pivoted in the center and having a comfortable power reserve, of the order of forty-eight hours, and a sufficient engine torque to maintain an oscillator with a frequency of 4 Hz and an inertia of 5mg cm 2 .
La difficulté pour la réalisation d'un tel mouvement provient du fait que pour abaisser l'épaisseur du mouvement à la valeur désirée le palier central de la masse de remontage pivotée au centre ne peut pas se superposer au barillet, l'épaisseur devenant ainsi prohibitive.  The difficulty in achieving such a movement is that in order to lower the thickness of the movement to the desired value the central bearing of the winding mass pivoted in the center can not be superimposed on the barrel, the thickness thus becoming prohibitive .
Pour éviter cette superposition et obtenir la minceur voulue du mouvement on doit donc réduire le diamètre du barillet et le placer à la périphérie du mouvement pour qu'il ne se superpose pas avec ledit palier central.  To avoid this superposition and to obtain the desired thinness of the movement must therefore reduce the diameter of the barrel and place it on the periphery of the movement so that it is not superimposed with said central bearing.
Ce faisant, pour obtenir le couple imposé, on prévoit deux barillets montés en parallèle ce qui présente également l'avantage de pouvoir utiliser deux barillets identiques. Toutefois, pour obtenir une réserve de marche suffisante de quarante-huit heures environ, les barillets étant décalés vers l'extérieur et leur diamètre réduit, le rapport d'engrenage barillet - centre étant de ce fait réduit, il faudrait équiper chaque barillet d'un ressort capable de fournir au moins vingt-quatre tours de 5 développement. Un tel ressort est pratiquement impossible à réaliser avec les techniques actuelles. In doing so, to obtain the imposed torque, there are two barrels mounted in parallel which also has the advantage of using two identical barrels. However, to obtain a sufficient power reserve of about forty-eight hours, the barrels being shifted outwards and their reduced diameter, the barrel-center gear ratio being thereby reduced, it would be necessary to equip each barrel of a spring capable of providing at least twenty-four turns of development. Such a spring is practically impossible to achieve with current techniques.
C'est pourquoi la présente invention propose une conception nouvelle et originale pour le moteur du mouvement plat à masse de remontage pivotée au centre qui consiste à prévoir pour chacun des barillets de l'organe moteur un î o double barillet comprenant une cage d'entrée munie d'une denture extérieure et une cage de sortie également munie d'une denture extérieure, ces deux cages étant pivotées sur un axe central.  This is why the present invention proposes a new and original design for the motor of the flat motion with revolving winding mass in the center which consists of providing for each of the barrels of the drive member a double barrel i comprising an entrance cage provided with an external toothing and an exit cage also provided with an external toothing, these two cages being pivoted on a central axis.
Ce double barillet comporte un premier ressort logé dans la cage d'entrée dont la spire extérieure est reliée à cette cage d'entrée et dont la spire intérieure This double barrel comprises a first spring housed in the entrance cage whose outer turn is connected to this entrance cage and whose inner coil
15 est fixée sur l'arbre central. Un second ressort logé dans la cage de sortie a sa spire intérieure fixée sur l'arbre central et sa spire extérieure fixée à la cage de sortie. Ainsi, le double barillet comporte deux ressorts en série qui peuvent être facilement réalisés, leur nombre de tour de développement étant pour chacun d'environ douze, les deux ressorts superposés étant en série.15 is fixed on the central shaft. A second spring housed in the exit cage has its inner turn fixed on the central shaft and its outer turn fixed to the output shaft. Thus, the double barrel comprises two springs in series which can be easily made, their number of revolution of development being for each of about twelve, the two superposed springs being in series.
0 En référence aux dessins, on voit que le mouvement objet de la présente invention comporte un organe moteur constitué de deux doubles barillets 1 , 2 décalés ver la périphérie du mouvement de manière à libérer l'espace central de celui-ci pour permettre d'y loger le palier central de la masse de remontage automatique pivotée au centre du mouvement. With reference to the drawings, it can be seen that the movement which is the subject of the present invention comprises a driving member consisting of two double barrels 1, 2 offset towards the periphery of the movement so as to release the central space of the latter to allow accommodate the central bearing of the automatic winding mass pivoted in the center of the movement.
5 Comme on le voit sur la coupe de la figure 2, chaque double barillet 1 , 2 comporte un axe central 3 pivoté entre une platine 4 du mouvement et un pont de barillet 5. Cet axe 3 sert de pivot à une cage d'entrée 6 munie d'une denture externe 7. Cette cage d'entrée 6 renferme un premier ressort 8 dont la spire extérieure est fixée à la paroi intérieure de cette cage d'entrée 6 et dont la spire interne est fixée à l'axe central 3. Un second ressort 9 est logé dans la cage de sortie 10 du double barillet et est fixé par sa spire extérieure à la paroi interne de cette cage de sortie 10 tandis que sa spire interne est fixée à l'axe central 3. Cette cage de sortie 10 comporte une denture extérieure 11. Une plaque de séparation 12 peut être disposée entre les deux cages 6, 10 et les ressorts 8, 9 de ce double barillet. Les ressorts 8, 9 sont ainsi montés en série et confèrent aux doubles barillets 1 , 2 la réserve de marche désirée de l'ordre de quarante-huit heures. As can be seen in the section of FIG. 2, each double barrel 1, 2 comprises a central axis 3 pivoted between a plate 4 of the movement and a barrel bridge 5. This axis 3 serves as a pivot for an entrance cage 6 with an external toothing 7. This inlet cage 6 encloses a first spring 8 whose outer turn is fixed to the inner wall of this inlet cage 6 and whose turn internal part is fixed to the central axis 3. A second spring 9 is housed in the output shaft 10 of the double barrel and is fixed by its outer turn to the inner wall of the output shaft 10 while its inner coil is fixed to the central axis 3. This exit cage 10 has an external toothing 11. A separating plate 12 may be disposed between the two cages 6, 10 and the springs 8, 9 of this double barrel. The springs 8, 9 are thus mounted in series and give the double barrels 1, 2 the desired power reserve of the order of forty-eight hours.
Les deux doubles barillets 1 , 2 sont identiques ce qui optimise la fabrication du mouvement et sont disposés de telles façons que le centre du mouvement soit libre et que les dentures externes 7 des cages d'entrée 6 de chacun des doubles barillets 1 , 2 engrènent avec un pignon 13 d'une roue à cliquet 14 pivotée entre la platine 4 et un pont de roue à cliquet 15.  The two double barrels 1, 2 are identical which optimizes the manufacture of the movement and are arranged in such a way that the center of the movement is free and that the external teeth 7 of the entry shafts 6 of each of the double barrels 1, 2 mesh with each other. with a pinion 13 of a ratchet wheel 14 pivoted between the plate 4 and a ratchet wheel bridge 15.
La roue à cliquet 14 est entraînée en rotation dans un seul sens de façon classique par le rotor central 16 de la masse de remontage au centre. Ce rotor central 16 est monté à l'aide d'un roulement à bille sur un palier central 17 fixé à l'aide de vis de fixation 18 sur le pont de rouage 19. Ce palier central 17 est coaxial avec l'axe 20 de l'aiguillage horaire du mouvement. Ce rotor central 16 porte la masse oscillante 21 , un flan 22 reliant cette masse 21 audit rotor 16. Un mécanisme bien connu relie le rotor central 16 à la roue à rochet 14 transformant les oscillations de la masse de remontage 21 en une rotation continue de la roue à rochet 14 permettant le remontage simultané des deux doubles barillets 1 , 2.  The ratchet wheel 14 is rotated in a single direction in a conventional manner by the central rotor 16 of the winding mass in the center. This central rotor 16 is mounted by means of a ball bearing on a central bearing 17 fastened by means of fastening screws 18 on the axle bridge 19. This central bearing 17 is coaxial with the axis 20 of FIG. the time switch of the movement. This central rotor 16 carries the oscillating mass 21, a blank 22 connecting this mass 21 to the rotor 16. A well-known mechanism connects the central rotor 16 to the ratchet wheel 14 transforming the oscillations of the winding mass 21 into a continuous rotation of the ratchet wheel 14 for simultaneous reassembly of the two double barrels 1, 2.
Les dentures extérieures 11 des deux cages de sortie 10 des deux doubles barillets 1 , 2 engrènent simultanément avec la roue 24 d'un mobile de centre.  The external teeth 11 of the two output cages 10 of the two double barrels 1, 2 mesh simultaneously with the wheel 24 of a center wheel.
Ce mobile de centre est constitué d'une chaussée 23, d'une roue sur chaussée 24 et d'un pignon de chaussée 25 et est coaxial à l'axe central 20 du mouvement.  This center mobile consists of a roadway 23, a road wheel 24 and a road gear 25 and is coaxial with the central axis 20 of the movement.
Une roue des heures 26 est solidaire d'un canon pivoté sur la chaussée 23 et un mobile de minuterie pivoté sur la platine 4 comporte un pignon de minuterie 27 en prise avec la roue des heures 26 et une roue de minuterie 28 en prise avec le pignon de chaussée 25. An hour wheel 26 is secured to a gun pivoted on the floor 23 and a timer mobile pivoted on the plate 4 has a timer gear 27 engaged with the hour wheel 26 and a timer wheel 28 engaged with the road sprocket 25.
Le mouvement d'horlogerie comporte encore un organe régulateur constitué par un balancier spiral 29 contrôlant un organe distributeur comprenant une roue d'échappement 30 et son pignon d'échappement 31.  The clockwork movement further comprises a regulating member consisting of a balance spring 29 controlling a distributor member comprising an escape wheel 30 and its escape pinion 31.
On le voit grâce aux doubles barillets de diamètres réduits dont les cages de sortie 10 engrènent avec une roue sur chaussée 24 du mobile de centre ayant un grand diamètre on libère tout l'espace central du mouvement qui reçoit du côté opposé au cadran le palier central 17 de la masse de remontage qui n'est donc pas superposé aux doubles barillets 1 , 2.  It can be seen thanks to the double barrels of reduced diameters whose exit cages 10 mesh with a wheel on the floor 24 of the center mobile having a large diameter, to release all the central space of the movement which receives on the opposite side of the dial the central landing 17 of the winding mass which is not superimposed on the double barrels 1, 2.
Le mouvement d'horlogerie comporte encore un rouage de finissage reliant cinématiquement les cages de sortie 10 des doubles barillets 1 , 2 au pignon d'échappement 31. Ce rouage de finissage comporte la roue sur chaussée 24 un renvoi 32 engrenant avec le pignon 34 d'un mobile de grande moyenne dont la roue 35 engrène avec un pignon 36 d'un mobile de double moyenne dont la première roue 37 engrène avec un pignon de seconde au centre 38, celui-ci étant en prise avec la seconde roue 39 de ce mobile de double moyenne qui engrène avec le pignon 40 d'un mobile de seconde rapide dont la roue 41 engrène avec le pignon d'échappement 31.  The clockwork movement also comprises a finishing train connecting cinematically the exit cages 10 of the double barrels 1, 2 to the exhaust pinion 31. This finishing wheel comprises the wheel on the floor 24 a return 32 meshing with the pinion 34 a medium-sized wheel whose wheel 35 meshes with a pinion 36 of a double-medium wheel whose first wheel 37 meshes with a second gear at the center 38, the latter being engaged with the second wheel 39 of this wheel mobile double average which meshes with the pinion 40 of a fast second mobile whose wheel 41 meshes with the exhaust pinion 31.
On constate que, comme l'espace central du mouvement a été libéré, tout le rouage de finissage peut être disposé dans cet espace et qu'aucun de ses mobile, roue ou pignon, ne se superpose aux doubles barillets 1 , 2 ce qui permet également de réduire la hauteur totale du mouvement.  It can be seen that, as the central space of the movement has been released, all the finishing gear can be arranged in this space and that none of its wheels, wheel or pinion, is superimposed on the double barrels 1, 2 which allows also reduce the total height of the movement.
Dans une variante du mouvement ne comportant pas de seconde au centre, on peut prévoir une petite seconde à six heures entraînée par un pignon de petite seconde qui engrènerait avec la première roue 37 du mobile de double moyenne. Dans des variantes du mouvement, les doubles barillets 1 , 2 pourraient être remplacés par des groupes de barillets comportant chacun plus de deux barillets en série. In a variant of the movement having no second in the center, it can provide a small second to six hours driven by a pinion of small second which would mesh with the first wheel 37 of the double medium mobile. In variants of the movement, the double barrels 1, 2 could be replaced by groups of barrels each having more than two barrels in series.
Dans une variante du mouvement, celui-ci pourrait être à remontage manuel, les deux groupes de barillets étant remontés manuellement à l'aide d'une couronne de remontoir.  In a variant of the movement, it could be manual winding, the two groups of barrels being manually raised using a winding crown.
