Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mechanical clockwork movement for a timepiece such as a wristwatch.
  • the regulating member which measures the time and imposes a clocked movement on the various mobiles generally comprises a rocker secured to a shaft on which is also mounted a spiral via a ferrule, and an escapement to maintain oscillations of the pendulum.
  • the accuracy of the movement depends on the regularity of the pendulum oscillations.
  • One of the most influential parameters on the regularity of the oscillations is the position of the watch.
  • the oscillation amplitude of the pendulum of a clock oriented in a horizontal plane is typically about 320 °. This amplitude can decrease by about 40 ° when the watch is oriented vertically, due to the fact that the friction of the pivots of the balance shaft in their bearings become larger.
  • the center of gravity of a conventional flat hairspring is not on the axis of the balance-spring, and moves even during expansions and contractions of the hairspring, an unbalance is generated in a vertical position, which will create either an advance or a delay, this is called the Grossmann effect.
  • the walking of the watch also varies between the different vertical positions. In a given vertical position of the watch, the oscillations of the pendulum will produce a delay if the center of gravity of the spiral is above the axis of balance and the advance if this center of gravity is below the balance shaft.
  • this pyramid forms part of a cube of which three of the faces are formed of a square obtained by the addition of a second right triangle adjacent to the three right triangles. This is not possible because angles that make between them the axes of the pendulums on the figure 2 are all different from 90 °, which is incompatible with a cubic arrangement. It should also be noted that this document WO 2011/058157 it remains in the form of schematic diagrams and gives no example of a construction which concretely makes it possible to carry out the movement described.
  • the present invention aims to remedy, at least in part, the aforementioned drawbacks and to propose an alternative approach to compensate for the effects of gravity on the progress of a movement.
  • a watch movement according to the appended claim 1, particular embodiments being defined in the dependent claims.
  • a watch movement comprises, mounted in a frame, a mobile center 1, two barrels 2a, 2b located on either side of the mobile center 1, two mobile of mean 3a, 3b located on either side of the center mobile 1, four second mobiles 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d and four regulating members 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d.
  • the frame comprises a plate 6 and bridges, in particular a first axle 7a receiving pivots of the shafts of the mobile of average 3a and second mobiles 4a, 4b, a second axle 7b receiving pivots of the shafts of the mobile of mean 3b and second movers 4c, 4d, a center bridge 7 'and two barrel bridges 7 ", 7"'.
  • Each regulating member 5a to 5d comprises an escapement 8a to 8d, a balance 9a to 9d and a hairspring 10a to 10d, the hairspring being mounted on the same shaft as the balance by a shell 11a to 11d (cf. figure 2 ), in the usual way.
  • Each exhaust 8a to 8d typically comprises an escape wheel, comprising a wheel and an escape pinion, an anchor and a double plate mounted on the balance shaft.
  • Differentials which will be described later, allow the display members of the movement (not shown) to display a time corresponding to the average of the times measured by the four regulating members 5a to 5d, thus conferring on the movement a high precision of walk.
  • Each regulating member 5a to 5d is disposed in a plane inclined at 45 ° relative to the plane of the plate 6 or, which amounts to the same, of the movement.
  • the axis 12a to 12d of each balance 9a to 9d that is to say the imaginary axis around which each balance oscillates, forms an angle of 45 ° with the plane of the plate 6 or some movement.
  • the pendulums 9a to 9d form the ends of a cross whose center is at center of the movement and whose two branches are perpendicular.
  • the rockers diametrically opposed to each other 9a, 9c have their axes 12a, 12c which intersect the axis 13 of the movement in one and the same point 14.
  • the two other rockers opposite each other 9b, 9d have their axes 12b, 12d which intersect the axis 13 of the movement at the same point 15 which is typically on the same side of the plate 6 as the point 14 but distinct from the latter because the regulating members 5a, 5c are at a position raised by compared to the regulatory bodies 5b, 5d, as shown in figures 3 and 5 in order to allow the second wheels of the second wheels 4a, 4b and the second wheels of the second wheels 4c, 4d to overlap (cf. figure 1 ).
  • the angle between them the axes 12a, 12c of the pendulums 9a, 9c is 90 °.
  • the angle between them the axes 12b, 12d of the pendulums 9b, 9d is 90 °.
  • the axes 12a, 12c of the pair of pendulums 9a, 9c are not parallel to any of the axes 12b, 12d of the other pair of pendulums 9b, 9d, thus providing coverage of all directions of the space.
  • the orthogonality between the axes of the rockers of the same pair 9a, 9c or 9b, 9d makes it possible to effectively compensate the effects of gravity on these rockers and to particularly well cover the possible positions of the movement between the horizontal and the vertical ( flat-hung). Thanks to this orthogonality, the average of the oscillation amplitudes of the rockers of a given pair remains substantially constant between the different angular positions of the movement in the diametral plane containing the axes of these rockers.
  • the angle of 90 ° between the axes of the rockers of the same pair could be obtained with an inclination of the rockers relative to the plate different from 45 °.
  • one of the rockers could be flat and the other perpendicular to the plate, or one could be at 30 ° and the other at 60 ° relative to the plate.
  • the inclination of 45 ° is however preferred because, thus, the balance 9a to 9d are never in their most unfavorable position in terms of sensitivity to gravity, namely the vertical position, when the movement is in one of its reference positions, namely the horizontal "dial at the top” and “dial at the bottom” and vertical "3 hours at the top”, “6 o'clock at the top”, “9 o'clock at the top” and “12 o'clock at the top” positions.
  • the difference in path between the reference positions of the movement is therefore small.
  • the attachment points 16a to 16d of the spirals 10a to 10d to the rings 11a to 11d are positioned such that the differences in operation due to the decentering and the displacement of the center of gravity spirals counterbalance each other.
  • the figure 2 shows in schematic top view the pendulums 9a to 9d, the rings 11a to 11d and the beginning of the inner curve of the spirals 10a to 10d.
  • the rockers 9a to 9d are shown flat on the plate 6.
  • the attachment points 16a to 16d of the spirals to the ferrules are offset relative to each other.
  • the angular position of the attachment point 16a measured in a reference whose center is on the axis 12a of the balance 9a, is offset by 180 ° relative to the angular position of the attachment point 16c, measured in a same reference but whose center is on the axis 12c of the balance 9c.
  • the angular position of the attachment point 16b measured in a coordinate system whose center is on the axis 12b of the balance 9b, is offset by 180 ° with respect to the angular position of the attachment point 16d, measured in the same reference but whose center is on the axis of the balance 9d.
  • the angular positions of the attachment points are offset by 90 ° between each balance of a pair 9a, 9c or 9b, 9d and each balance of the other pair 9b, 9d or 9a, 9c.
  • the movement according to the present invention thus makes it possible to greatly reduce both the variations in the path between the horizontal and vertical positions (due to differences in the friction of the balance pins in their bearings) and the variations in the path between the different vertical positions (due the decentering and the displacement of the centers of gravity of the spirals).
  • the center mobile 1 comprises, around a center shaft 20, a roadway 21 frictionally mounted on the shaft 20 and carrying a minute hand (not shown), an hour wheel 22 free to rotate around the shaft 20 and carrying an hour hand (not shown), a differential gear 23 and a center pinion 24 integral with the shaft 20.
  • the center pinion 24 meshes with the two barrels 2a, 2b (whose associated ratchets n have not been shown) which, thus arranged in parallel, add their torques to drive the center shaft 20.
  • the hour wheel 22 and the roadway 21 mesh respectively with the pinion and the wheel of a timer wheel 25 ( cf. figure 1 ).
  • the timer wheel is connected to the time-setting rod 26 by a time-setting train 27.
  • the differential gear 23 comprises, in addition to the shaft 20 which constitutes it. input, a first output wheel 28 free in rotation relative to the shaft 20, a pinion 29 integral with the wheel 28, a second output wheel 30 free to rotate relative to the shaft 20, a central gear 31 integral with the shaft 20, and a satellite mobile comprising a pinion 32 which meshes with the central pinion 31 and a wheel 33 which is integral with the pinion 32 and which meshes with the pinion 29, the pivots of this satellite mobile being respectively mounted in the second output wheel 30 and in a bridge 34 fixed to the wheel 30.
  • the two average mobiles 3a, 3b each comprise, around an average shaft 35a, 35b, a pinion of average 36a, 36b integral with the shaft 35a, 35b and a differential gear 37a, 37b.
  • the average gear 36a meshes with, and is driven by, the first output gear 28 of the differential gear 23
  • the average gear 36b meshes with, and is driven by, the second output gear 30 of the differential gear 23.
  • the differential gear 37a, 37b of each mobile of average 3a, 3b is of the same type as the differential gear 23 of the center mobile 1.
  • the average shaft 35a, 35b is the input.
  • One, 38a, of the output wheels of the differential gear 37a meshes with, and drives, a pinion (not shown) of the second wheel 4a, while that the other output wheel 39a meshes with and drives a pinion 40b of the second mobile 4b.
  • one, 38b, of the output wheels of the differential gear 37b meshes with, and drives, a pinion 40c of the second gear 4c, while the other output gear 39b meshes with, and drives, a pinion (not shown) of the mobile of the second 4d.
  • the wheels of the second movable 4a to 4d meshing by means of bevel gears with the exhaust gears of the regulating members 5a to 5d.
  • the differential gears 23, 37a, 37b are closer to the barrels 2a, 2b, that is to say where the torque is Most important.
  • This arrangement compensates for the disadvantages of a differential gear that are its weight and inertia.
  • the structure as described above has the advantage of a small footprint because the four regulating members 5a to 5d are driven by the same motor member, constituted by the two barrels 2a, 2b, and a single mobile. average is used for two regulating bodies.
  • the use of two barrels in parallel makes it possible to increase the torque necessary for driving the regulating members. It also allows, by the arrangement of these barrels 2a, 2b on either side of the mobile center 1, to balance the transmitted torque and to reduce the air pressure on the pivots of the mobile center 1.
  • drive members connected by the differentials could separate separately the regulating members 5a to 5d.
  • a single barrel could be used to drive the four regulating members 5a to 5d.
  • Each regulating member 5a to 5d is mounted in a frame 41 (cf. figures 3 and 6 ) comprising an exhaust holder 42, an exhaust bridge 43 and a balance bridge 44 fixed to the exhaust door 42.

  • These inclined surfaces 47 are represented at figure 7 and, schematically, at the figure 5 .
  • the frames 41 of the regulating members 5a, 5b are fixed on the first gearbridge 7a, while the frames 41 of the regulating members 5c, 5d are fixed on the second gearbridge 7b.
  • a single pair of pendulums could be provided instead of two.
  • the movement could include more than two pairs of pendulums.
  • the axes of the balances of the same pair could not be secant, that is to say, not be in the same plane, as long as they remain orthogonal.
  • orthogonal is meant that said axes form a right angle, if they are in the same plane, or that a straight line parallel to one of these axes crosses the other axis at a right angle, if these axes are not in the same plane.
