Definitions
- the invention relates to an overmoulded clock bearing, comprising a plastic core injected into a cavity of revolution that comprises an outer cage, and comprising at least one inner cage contained in said cavity, said plastic core being injected between said inner cage and said outer cage and defined by an outer surface of revolution that includes said inner cage and an inner surface of revolution that includes said outer cage, said outer surface of revolution and / or said inner surface of revolution having at least one groove or a shoulder of revolution for the immobilization of said core in the direction of an axis of revolution common to said outer surface of revolution and said inner surface of revolution.
- the invention also relates to a watch movement comprising at least one such smooth bearing.
- the invention also relates to a timepiece comprising at least one such smooth bearing.
- the invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a molded overmolded sliding bearing.
- the invention relates to the field of watchmaking, and more particularly the field of guides and bearings.
- Bearing lubrication is a difficult area that requires care, and maintenance in service.
- the document CH 559 383 B5 in the name of PORTESCAP illustrates a shock absorber bearing for a watch, with a core which is an elastic part, without play between the different concentric cages that this bearing comprises.
- the document FR 1 579 777 A in the name of FRATELLI BORLETTI describes a watch pendulum pivot with a plastic disk serving as counter-stone for supporting the rounded end of a pendulum.
- This disc is housed in a cavity of a seat bearing an annular stone.
- This counter-stone disc can be injection molded.
- PORTESCAP describes a bearing for clockwork mobile pivot, close to the document FR 1 587 976 A above, with a modified background shape.
- the invention proposes to circumvent these problems of the prior art, by proposing cheaper bearings, with a reduced number of components, little sensitive to shocks, and not requiring any particular adjustment during their assembly.
- the invention relates to a overmolded overmolded clock bearing, comprising a plastic core injected into a cavity of revolution that comprises an outer cage that comprises said bearing, and comprising at least one inner cage contained in said cavity, said plastic core being injected between said inner cage and said outer cage and delimited by an outer surface of revolution that includes said inner cage and by an inner surface of revolution that includes said outer cage, said outer surface of revolution and / or said internal surface of revolution comprising at least one groove or a shoulder of revolution for the immobilization of said core in the direction of an axis of revolution common to said outer surface of revolution and to said inner surface of revolution, characterized in that said surface outer of revolution and said inner surface re revolution each comprise at least one groove or a shoulder of revolution for the immobilization of said core in the direction of said axis of revolution.
- the constituent plastic material of said core has a shrinkage coefficient of between 2.0% and 3.0% which determines the functional clearance of said plain bearing between said inner race and said core on the one hand, and between said outer cage and said core on the other hand.
- said sliding bearing consists exclusively of said inner race, said core, and said outer race.
- a plurality of inner cages having contact surfaces of revolution coaxial with each other and with said cavity around a same axis of revolution, said inner cages being threaded one in the other and separated, said cavity for the outermost of them, and two by two for the others, each time by a plastic core injected into a chamber delimited by the internal volume of the outermost cage , and by the outer volume of the innermost cage.
- the invention also relates to a watch movement comprising at least one such smooth bearing.
- the invention also relates to a timepiece comprising at least one such smooth bearing.
- said injection or casting chamber is defined by an outer surface of revolution that comprises said inner cage and by an inner surface of revolution that comprises said cage outside, and by the addition of closure surfaces associated with said cavity and said inner cage respectively bordering said inner surface of revolution and said outer surface of revolution, and, after complete removal of said plastic material, is moved away said closing surfaces.
- the invention relates to the field of watchmaking, and more particularly the field of guides and bearings.
- the invention more particularly relates to a sliding bearing 1 overmoulded clock.
- this sliding bearing 1 comprises a core 5 of plastic material injected into a cavity 4 of revolution that comprises an outer cage 3.
- An example of a sliding bearing which does not form part of the invention is visible on the figure 1 .
- the plastic material has a slight shrinkage, which is sufficient to ensure the functional clearance required for smooth bearing operation.
- the core 5 has a homothetic geometry to that of the cavity 4, the removal of the plastic being regular, the geometry of the core 5 is as good as that of the cavity 4. It is therefore necessary, for optimal operation, to ensure the very good circularity of the cavity 4, the respect of the dimension is however insignificant since the adjustment is done by the injection or casting process, preferably injection.
- the plain bearing 1 further comprises an inner cage 2 contained in the cavity 4. And the plastic core 5 is then injected between the inner cage 2 and the outer cage 3.
- the core 5 is delimited by an outer surface of revolution 20 that comprises the inner cage 2 and by an inner surface of revolution 30 that includes the outer cage 3.
- this outer surface of revolution 20 and this inner surface of revolution 30 are coaxial about the same axis of revolution D.
- the core 5 is entirely of revolution, as regards its contact surfaces with the outer cage 3, and with the inner cage 2 when it exists.
- the outer surface of revolution 20 and / or said inner surface of revolution 30 comprises at least one groove 6 or a shoulder 7 of revolution for the immobilization of the core 5 in the direction of an axis of revolution D common to the outer surface of revolution 20 and to the inner surface of revolution 30.
- both the outer surface of revolution 20 and the inner surface of revolution 30 each comprise at least one such groove 6 or such a shoulder 7 of revolution for the immobilization of the core (5) in the direction of the axis of revolution D, as visible in the figures.
- the outer surface of revolution 20 and the inner surface of revolution 30 comprise, at least one groove, and the other at least one shoulder, or conversely, this at least one groove and the at least one shoulder being of revolution and for the immobilization of the core 5 in the direction of the axis of revolution D.
- the constituent plastic material of the core 5 has a shrinkage coefficient of between 2.0% and 3.0% which determines the functional clearance of the sliding bearing 1 between the inner cage 2 and the core 5 on the one hand, and between the outer cage 3 and the core 5 on the other.
- the Figures 3 and 4 illustrate the shrinkage R after complete polymerization of the plastic material.
- the axial and radial play of the bearing 1 is defined by the shrinkage rate and the geometry of the bearing.
- a 2.5% shrinkage of the walls of 0.4mm corresponds to a frost of 0.010 mm which is perfectly suited to the usual watch applications. This frolic comes from the process itself, and is guaranteed from one room to another.
- the sliding bearing 1 consists exclusively of the inner cage 2, the core 5, and the outer cage 3.
- the invention also relates to a clockwork movement comprising at least one such smooth bearing 1.
- the invention also relates to a timepiece 100 comprising at least one such smooth bearing 1 and / or such a movement 10.
- the invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a molded overmolded smooth bearing 1 according to claim 8.
- an injection or casting chamber 40 is defined by the addition of closure surfaces 11, 12 related to the cavity 4, thus forming a mold, as visible in FIG. figure 6 . And then the injection or casting of plastic is carried out in the chamber 40 to produce a core 5 delimited by the cavity 4 and these closing surfaces 11, 12. After complete removal of the plastic material, these closing surfaces are removed. .
- the cavity 4 is inserted in revolution and coaxially with the outer cage 3 according to FIG. axis of revolution D, an inner race 2 which is intended to be incorporated in the sliding bearing 1.
- the injection or casting chamber 40 is delimited by an outer surface of revolution 20 that the inner race 2 comprises and by an inner surface of revolution 30 that includes the outer cage 3.
- the injection or casting chamber 40 is delimited by an outer surface of revolution 20 that comprises the inner cage 2 and by an inner surface of revolution 30 which the outer cage 3, and by the addition of closure surfaces associated with the cavity 4 and the inner cage 2 respectively bordering the inner surface of revolution 30 and the outer surface of revolution 20. And, after complete removal of the plastic material, the closing surfaces are moved away.
- the invention still relates to any type of overmoulded plain bearing 1 comprising an outer cage 3 with a cavity 4 of revolution about an axis of revolution D, in which cavity 4 are positioned a plurality of inner cages 2 having revolution contact around the axis of revolution D.
- These revolution contact surfaces are coaxial with each other and with the cavity 4, and the inner cages 2 are threaded into one another.
- the inner cages 2 are separated, from the cavity 4 for the outermost of them, and two by two for the others, each time by a core 5 made of plastic material injected into a chamber delimited by the internal volume of the cage the outermost, and by the outer volume of the innermost cage.
- the chambers, in which the plastic is injected to form the cores are further delimited by closure surfaces, for example substantially perpendicular to the axis D.
- the figure 8 illustrates an example of such a bearing 1 having an outer cage 3, separated from an inner inner cage 2A by a first core 5A.
- the intermediate cage 2A is separated from an axial inner cage 2B by a second core 5B.
- the withdrawal R of the core 5A, 5B ensures the functional clearance between the cages separated by the core concerned.
- the sliding bearing can be handled in one piece without loss of components.
- This bearing has no problem of impact resistance, because of the manufacture of the plastic core.
- the adjustment of the game is intrinsic since it comes from the withdrawal of the plastic material during its final polymerization.
- Tightening tolerances of tight fitting depend on narrow manufacturing tolerances, so it is possible to substantially reduce the functional clearance. Indeed, it is not required particular precision, in diameter or in the axial direction, of the outer cage, and, as the case of the inner cage, since the plastic material occupies all the available volume during its injection or its casting. The injection or the casting thus compensates for all the tolerances, and the frolics remain perfectly correct.
- the partition that is to say the height of the outer cage relative to the inner cage, is perfectly controlled and centered.
- the control and centering are given by the symmetrical shrinkage of the plastic, and, when executed with a mold and closing surfaces, by the bearing surface in the mold to align the two cages.
- the preferred embodiment by injection ensures good control of the process and its perfect reproducibility.
- the injection allows the creation of the core, the adjustment of the frost during the withdrawal, and the assembly of the bearing, which is unmountable after injection, when one of the cages, inner or outer, has a groove or a shoulder limiting movement in the axial direction.
- plastics have tribological qualities well suited to this application. More particularly, the use of the POM is satisfactory.
- the plastic material used may be composite, and incorporate slip improving compounds, such as lubricant, PTFE, "Delrin®”, “Rilsan®”, “Nylon®”, or similar bubbles.
- plastic material is chosen with a coefficient of friction between 0.07 and 0.15 The use of materials with lower coefficients of friction is also possible, despite their higher cost.
