Description
L'invention se rapporte à un mouvement horloger à faible sensibilité magnétique et, plus précisément, un tel mouvement comportant un résonateur balancier - spiral.The invention relates to a watch movement with low magnetic sensitivity and, more specifically, to such a movement comprising a balance-spring resonator.
Dans le domaine des résonateurs balanciers - spiraux, le défaut principal des alliages compensateurs pour un spiral actuel à base de fer - nickel ou de fer - cobalt est leur sensibilité aux champs magnétiques. Ainsi, une montre parfaitement réglée en l'absence d'un champ magnétique peut prendre plusieurs dizaines de secondes d'avance ou de retard après avoir été soumise à l'influence d'un champ magnétique extérieur. Or, nous sommes soumis à de plus en plus de rayonnements magnétiques dans la vie quotidienne.In the field of the pendulum - balance resonators, the main defect of the compensating alloys for a current spiral based on iron - nickel or iron - cobalt is their sensitivity to the magnetic fields. Thus, a watch perfectly adjusted in the absence of a magnetic field can take several tens of seconds in advance or delay after being subjected to the influence of an external magnetic field. Now, we are subjected to more and more magnetic radiation in everyday life.
Pour pallier ces inconvénients, des spiraux alternatifs ont été développés à base de matériaux paramagnétiques comportant par exemple du niobium ou à base de matériaux diamagnétiques comportant par exemple du silicium. Toutefois, ces spiraux sont très délicats à mettre au point et, incidemment, sont chers à produire par rapport aux spiraux actuels à base de fer - nickel ou de fer - cobalt.To overcome these drawbacks, alternative spirals have been developed based on paramagnetic materials comprising for example niobium or based on diamagnetic materials comprising for example silicon. However, these spirals are very delicate to develop and, incidentally, are expensive to produce compared to current spirals based on iron - nickel or iron - cobalt.
Le but de la présente invention est de pallier tout ou partie les inconvénients cités précédemment en proposant un mouvement horloger comportant un spiral en matériau ferromagnétique qui possède une faible sensibilité aux champs magnétiques externes.The object of the present invention is to overcome all or part of the disadvantages mentioned above by proposing a watch movement comprising a spiral of ferromagnetic material which has a low sensitivity to external magnetic fields.
A cet effet, l'invention se rapporte à un mouvement horloger comportant un résonateur balancier - spiral monté entre un pont et une platine et dont le spiral est formé à partir d'un matériau ferromagnétique caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un dispositif de polarisation magnétique dudit spiral destiné à maintenir un état de polarisation prédéfini dans le spiral et comprenant des moyens d'aimantation permanents qui forment un champ magnétique dans le plan du spiral afin de quasi-totalement ou totalement saturer magnétiquement le spiral en l'absence de champ magnétique externe au mouvement.To this end, the invention relates to a watch movement comprising a balance spring resonator - spiral mounted between a bridge and a plate and whose spiral is formed from a ferromagnetic material characterized in that it comprises a polarization device magnetic device of said hairspring intended to maintain a predefined polarization state in the hairspring and comprising permanent magnetization means which form a magnetic field in the plane of the hairspring so as to almost completely or totally saturate the hairspring magnetically in the absence of a magnetic field external to the movement.
En effet, avantageusement selon l'invention, une fois sorti dudit champ magnétique perturbateur, le spiral reprend l'état de polarisation nominal utilisé lors de son réglage, c'est-à-dire qu'il retrouve sensiblement la même fréquence qu'avant d'avoir été exposé à un champ magnétique externe. On comprend donc que le champ magnétique externe influence peu la marche du mouvement et uniquement sur la faible plage temporaire pendant laquelle le mouvement y est soumis.Indeed, advantageously according to the invention, once out of said disturbing magnetic field, the hairspring takes the nominal polarization state used during its adjustment, that is to say, it finds substantially the same frequency as before to have been exposed to an external magnetic field. It is therefore understandable that the external magnetic field has little influence on the movement and only on the small temporary range during which the movement is subjected to it.
Conformément à d'autres caractéristiques avantageuses de l'invention :
- les lignes de champ des moyens d'aimantation permanents sont alignés avec l'axe du fil du spiral ;
- les moyens d'aimantation permanents comportent au moins un aimant permanent et/ou un électroaimant alimenté en permanence ;
- les moyens d'aimantation permanents génèrent un champ au moins égal à trois fois le champ coercitif du matériau du spiral ;
- les moyens d'aimantation permanents génèrent un champ au moins égal à 1 mT ;
- le dispositif de polarisation magnétique est fixé à une partie fixe du mouvement horloger comme au pont, à un piton ou à la platine ;
- le dispositif de polarisation magnétique est fixé à une partie mobile du mouvement horloger comme au balancier ou au spiral.
- the field lines of the permanent magnetization means are aligned with the axis of the spiral wire;
- the permanent magnetization means comprise at least one permanent magnet and / or an electromagnet permanently powered;
- the permanent magnetization means generate a field at least equal to three times the coercive field of the spiral material;
- the permanent magnetization means generate a field at least equal to 1 mT;
- the magnetic polarization device is fixed to a fixed part of the watch movement, such as a bridge, a piton or a plate;
- the magnetic polarization device is attached to a moving part of the watch movement such as the balance or the balance spring.
De plus, l'invention se rapporte à une pièce d'horlogerie caractérisée en ce qu'elle comporte un mouvement horloger selon l'une des variantes précédentes.In addition, the invention relates to a timepiece characterized in that it comprises a watch movement according to one of the preceding variants.
D'autres particularités et avantages ressortiront clairement de la description qui en est faite ci-après, à titre indicatif et nullement limitatif, en référence à la

Avantageusement selon l'invention, le spiral 7 est formé à partir d'un matériau ferromagnétique comme du Nivarox CT, de l'Elinvar, du Ni-Span C ou du Coelinvar. Ainsi, même si le spiral 7 comporte une propriété fortement ferromagnétique, le mouvement 1 selon l'invention possède, de manière avantageuse, une très faible sensibilité magnétique.Advantageously according to the invention, the spiral 7 is formed from a ferromagnetic material such as Nivarox CT, Elinvar, Ni-Span C or Coelinvar. Thus, even if the spiral 7 has a strongly ferromagnetic property, the movement 1 according to the invention advantageously has a very low magnetic sensitivity.
En effet, avantageusement selon l'invention, le mouvement 1 comporte un dispositif de polarisation magnétique 15 du spiral 7 destiné à maintenir un état de polarisation prédéfini dans le spiral afin de rendre le mouvement 1 moins variant après une exposition à un champ magnétique externe. Cela est rendu possible par le fait que le dispositif de polarisation magnétique 15 comporte des moyens d'aimantation permanents qui forment un champ magnétique dans le plan du spiral 7 afin d'éviter une variation de l'état de polarisation du spiral induite par un champ magnétique externe au mouvement horloger 1.In fact, advantageously according to the invention, the movement 1 comprises a
A titre préféré, les lignes de champ des moyens d'aimantation sont alignés avec l'axe du fil du spiral 7 afin de rendre plus aisée l'aimantation. De plus, le champ magnétique généré par les moyens d'aimantation est, de manière préférée, fermé comme par exemple par l'utilisation d'une partie en mumétal, c'est-à-dire qui présente une très haute perméabilité magnétique, ce qui lui permet de canaliser les lignes de champs magnétiques de retour.By way of preference, the field lines of the magnetization means are aligned with the axis of the wire of the spiral 7 in order to make the magnetization easier. In addition, the magnetic field generated by the magnetization means is preferably closed such as for example by the use of a part in mumetal, that is to say which has a very high magnetic permeability, this which allows him to channel the lines of magnetic fields back.
On comprend donc que le spiral 7 est fortement, c'est-à-dire quasi-totalement, ou totalement saturé magnétiquement lors du réglage du mouvement 1 afin que le passage dans un champ magnétique externe change peu ou pas ses caractéristiques magnétiques. Ainsi, en dehors de tout champ magnétique externe, l'état de polarisation du spiral 7 est reproduit par la présence des moyens d'aimantation. On comprend donc que préférentiellement les moyens d'aimantation sont choisis pour que le champ magnétique externe ne soit pas supérieur au champ coercitif des moyens d'aimantation.It is therefore understood that the spiral 7 is strongly, that is to say almost totally, or totally magnetically saturated during the adjustment of the movement 1 so that the passage in an external magnetic field changes little or not its magnetic characteristics. Thus, apart from any external magnetic field, the polarization state of the spiral 7 is reproduced by the presence of the magnetization means. It is therefore understood that preferably the magnetization means are chosen so that the external magnetic field is not greater than the coercive field of the magnetization means.
Ainsi, de manière préférée, les moyens d'aimantation permanents comportent au moins un aimant permanent et/ou au moins un électroaimant alimenté en permanence permettant de générer un champ au moins égal à trois fois et, préférentiellement 4 fois, le champ coercitif Hc du matériau du spiral 7 en évitant de dépasser son champ de saturation. On comprend donc que par rapport aux matériaux cités ci-dessus, les moyens d'aimantation permanents génèrent, de manière préférée, un champ au moins égal à 1 mT.Thus, preferably, the permanent magnetization means comprise at least one permanent magnet and / or at least one permanently energized electromagnet making it possible to generate a field at least equal to three times and, preferably 4 times, the coercive field H c spiral material 7 avoiding exceeding its saturation field. It is therefore understood that with respect to the materials mentioned above, the permanent magnetization means generate, preferably, a field at least equal to 1 mT.
Par conséquent, le dispositif de polarisation 15 selon l'invention ne permet pas de maintenir stable la marche du mouvement horloger 1 lorsqu'il pénètre dans un champ magnétique externe. Toutefois, une fois à nouveau sorti dudit champ magnétique perturbateur, le spiral 7 reprend l'état de polarisation nominal utilisé lors de son réglage, c'est-à-dire qu'il retrouve sensiblement la même fréquence qu'avant d'avoir été exposé à un champ magnétique externe. On comprend donc que le champ magnétique externe influence peu la marche du mouvement 1 et uniquement sur la faible plage temporaire pendant laquelle le mouvement 1 y est soumis.Consequently, the
Selon l'invention, le dispositif de polarisation magnétique 15 est fixé à une partie fixe ou mobile du mouvement horloger 1. Ainsi, de manière équivalente, le dispositif de polarisation magnétique 15 peut être fixé au pont et/ou au piton et/ou à la platine et/ou au balancier 5 et/ou au spiral 7. Plus particulièrement, les moyens d'aimantation permanents 17 peuvent être placés par exemple sur ou dans la virole du spiral 7 et/ou sur ou dans le fil du spiral 7 et/ou sur ou dans la courbe terminale du spiral 7 comme illustré à la
Bien entendu, la présente invention ne se limite pas à l'exemple illustré mais est susceptible de diverses variantes et modifications qui apparaîtront à l'homme de l'art. En particulier, d'autres implantations du dispositif de polarisation magnétique 15 peuvent être envisagées. Il est également envisageable de choisir d'autres types de moyens d'aimantation permanents.Of course, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example but is susceptible of various variations and modifications that will occur to those skilled in the art. In particular, other implementations of the
