It is enough to put it in position in its movement, to immobilize it by the barrel shaft, and to stop the latter longitudinally by a simple circlip or a simple key, to ensure a precise assembly, inexpensive, and very shock resistant.
- the barrel remains extractable after complete assembly of the movement.

Description
L'invention concerne un barillet d'horlogerie comportant un tambour coaxial à un axe de barillet selon une direction de pivotement, ledit tambour étant agencé pour enfermer au moins un ressort de barillet dont une première extrémité est fixée ou accrochée audit tambour, et dont une deuxième extrémité est fixée ou accrochée à une bonde coaxiale audit axe de barillet et guidée sur ledit arbre de barillet.The invention relates to a watch cylinder comprising a drum coaxial with a barrel axis in a pivoting direction, said drum being arranged to enclose at least one barrel spring whose one end is fixed or attached to said drum, and a second end is fixed or hooked to a plug coaxial with said barrel axis and guided on said barrel shaft.
L'invention concerne un mouvement d'horlogerie incorporant au moins un tel barillet.The invention relates to a clockwork incorporating at least one such barrel.
L'invention concerne une pièce d'horlogerie incorporant un tel mouvement d'horlogerie ou/et au moins un tel barillet.The invention relates to a timepiece incorporating such a watch movement and / or at least one such barrel.
L'invention concerne le domaine de l'horlogerie, et plus particulièrement le domaine du stockage d'énergie par barillet avec ressort de barillet pour un mouvement moteur ou un mouvement de sonnerie.The invention relates to the field of watchmaking, and more particularly the field of barrel-spring energy storage with a mainspring for a motor movement or a ringing movement.
Traditionnellement, un barillet moteur pour un mouvement d'horlogerie comporte un tambour, dans lequel est monté un ressort de barillet, enroulé autour d'un axe de barillet. Ce ressort de barillet, généralement en spirale, est accroché ou fixé à une première extrémité périphérique à l'intérieur de ce tambour. II est accroché ou fixé à une deuxième extrémité centrale, soit à cet axe de barillet, soit à une bonde qui est coaxiale à cet axe de barillet, et au moins partiellement guidée sur celui-ci.Traditionally, a motor cylinder for a watch movement comprises a drum, in which is mounted a barrel spring, wound around a barrel axis. This barrel spring, generally spiral, is hooked or attached to a first peripheral end within this drum. It is hooked or fixed to a second central end, either to this barrel axis, or to a plug which is coaxial with this barrel axis, and at least partially guided thereon.
Le barillet pivote par rapport à une platine ou un pont de barillet, au niveau de l'arbre de barillet, ou de la bonde, dans des pierres ou des guidages de cette platine ou de ce pont.The barrel pivots with respect to a turntable or a barrel bridge, at the level of the barrel shaft, or the bung, in stones or guides of this plate or this bridge.
Le barillet est refermé, pour enfermer le ressort, soit par un couvercle fixé sur le tambour par clipage ou autre, soit par un rochet monté solidaire en rotation de l'arbre de barillet, ou de la bonde selon le cas, et formant aussi couvercle.The barrel is closed, to enclose the spring, either by a cover fixed to the drum by clipping or other, or by a ratchet fixed to rotate with the barrel shaft, or the bung as appropriate, and also forming a lid .
Peu de configurations autorisent à la fois un assemblage automatisé, et une extraction facile du barillet par rapport au mouvement, dans le cadre d'une opération de maintenance.Few configurations allow both an automated assembly, and an easy extraction of the barrel relative to the movement, as part of a maintenance operation.
Dans le premier cas avec un couvercle fixé au tambour et indépendant du rochet, la fixation du rochet, en général par vissage, est malcommode à automatiser. S'il est nécessaire d'extraire le barillet, par exemple en cas de casse du ressort, il est nécessaire de démonter en grande partie le mouvement d'horlogerie dans lequel est incorporé ce barillet.In the first case with a lid attached to the drum and independent of the ratchet, fixing the ratchet, generally by screwing, is awkward to automate. If it is necessary to extract the barrel, for example in case of breakage of the spring, it is necessary to largely disassemble the watch movement in which is incorporated the barrel.
Dans le deuxième cas, où la fermeture est réalisé par le seul rochet, le maintien solidaire du barillet n'est effectué que par le ressort de barillet lui-même, ce qui est insuffisant pour autoriser un assemblage automatisé de l'ensemble. Quand, dans cette configuration, la deuxième extrémité centrale du ressort est accrochée ou fixée à une bonde qui pivote autour d'un axe fixe solidaire de la platine ou/et du pont de barillet, l'extraction du barillet est possible avec moins de démontage de composants du mouvement que dans le cas précédent du couvercle fixé au tambour et indépendant du rochet.In the second case, where the closure is achieved by the single ratchet, the integral holding of the barrel is performed only by the barrel spring itself, which is insufficient to allow automated assembly of the assembly. When, in this configuration, the second central end of the spring is hooked or attached to a bung which pivots about a fixed axis integral with the plate and / or the barrel bridge, the extraction of the barrel is possible with less disassembly of movement components than in the previous case of the lid attached to the drum and independent of the ratchet.
Dans le premier comme le deuxième cas, le barillet risque, sous l'effet des accélérations et notamment lors d'un choc, de sortir de ses points de pivotement, et de ne plus pouvoir remplir sa fonction d'entraînement du mouvement auquel il et dédié.In the first and the second case, the barrel may, under the effect of accelerations and especially during a shock, out of its pivot points, and can no longer perform its function of training the movement to which he and dedicated.
L'invention se propose de concevoir un barillet dont l'assemblage soit facilement automatisable, en particulier avec une simplification de la fixation du rochet, et dont les composants soient solidaires de façon à faire de ce barillet un sous-ensemble autonome prêt à être monté dans un mouvement d'ordre supérieur, notamment un mouvement. L'invention vise encore à permettre une extraction facile du barillet par rapport au mouvement ou au mouvement dans lequel il est monté.The invention proposes to design a barrel whose assembly is easily automated, in particular with a simplification of the fastening of the ratchet, and whose components are integral so as to make this barrel an autonomous subassembly ready to be mounted in a movement of higher order, especially a movement. The invention also aims to allow easy extraction of the barrel relative to the movement or movement in which it is mounted.

L'invention permet une diminution sensible des coûts de production et d'assemblage, une simplification de l'ensemble barillet, et aussi une simplification de ses composants. Elle permet la solidarisation des composants aux stades de sous-ensembles, ce qui simplifie le montage qui peut être facilement automatisé, avec un manipulateur paraxial selon la direction de pivotement, ce qui abaisse encore les coûts déjà améliorés par la simplification des composants et donc l'abaissement de leur coût unitaire. Le barillet reste extractible après le montage complet du mouvement. Enfin, la résistance aux chocs est améliorée par le verrouillage de l'axe de barillet qui traverse les cloisons de la structure, et qui est arrêté de façon rigide par les première et deuxième surfaces d'arrêt d'arbre.The invention allows a significant reduction in production and assembly costs, a simplification of the barrel assembly, and also a simplification of its components. It allows the fastening of the components at the subset stages, which simplifies the assembly which can be easily automated, with a paraxial manipulator according to the pivoting direction, which further lowers the costs already improved by the simplification of the components and therefore the lowering their unit cost. The barrel remains extractable after complete assembly of the movement. Finally, the impact resistance is improved by locking the barrel axis which passes through the partitions of the structure, and which is rigidly stopped by the first and second shaft stop surfaces.

Grâce à la conception très simple de l'invention, seuls des mouvements de montage parallèles à la direction de pivotement D sont nécessaires pour effectuer l'assemblage.Preferably, this method is implemented by a robotic manipulator. Thanks to the very simple design of the invention, only mounting movements parallel to the pivoting direction D are necessary to perform the assembly.
Cette conception, avec pré-assemblage du tambour et de la bonde, puis montage du ressort de barillet, puis chassage du rochet sur la bonde, permet un montage facilité par rapport à un montage classique où le rochet est souvent prémonté sur la bonde.This design, with pre-assembly of the drum and the bung, then assembly of the mainspring, then the ratchet on the bung, allows a ease of assembly compared to a conventional assembly where the ratchet is often preassembled on the bung.
Le sous-ensemble 10 peut être stocké prémonté, et contrôlé fonctionnellement. Il suffit de le mettre en position dans son mouvement, de l'y immobiliser par l'arbre de barillet, et d'arrêter longitudinalement ce dernier par un simple circlips ou une simple clavette, pour assurer un montage précis, peu coûteux, et très résistant aux chocs.The
