Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of mechanical watchmaking. It relates more particularly to a timepiece comprising at least two elements in contact and relatively movable relative to each other, at least one of said elements having a contact surface with the other element which is lubricated by means of a lubricating composition.
  • the present invention also relates to such a lubricant composition, the use of chemical compounds as a lubricating agent and new chemical compounds.
  • a timepiece comprising at least two elements in contact and relatively movable relative to each other, it is necessary to lubricate the surfaces in contact with these elements to ensure as little friction as possible between these two elements.
  • lubricating oils comprising lubricants with a low coefficient of friction, less than or equal to 0.1.
  • a lubricating agent is, for example, mixtures of polyalphaolefin type synthetic oils associated with a glycerol ester, namely glycerol monooleate (GMO).
  • the lubricating oils used in the timepieces must be altered as little as possible and retain their lubricant properties for a generally accepted period of at least 4 years.
  • Such contact surfaces comprise at least one oxide layer on the surface, and are for example made of alumina or zirconia, and more particularly of ruby or sapphire, materials traditionally used in the watch industry for bearings or pallets of 'anchor.
  • the agent lubricant being a compound containing one or more hydrophilic groups chosen from C 3 -C 9 polyols having at least one third of OH groups relative to the number of carbon atoms.
  • a preferred compound is glycerol.
  • These compounds are agents with a very low coefficient of friction, the coefficients obtained being less than 0.06.
  • these compounds have the disadvantage of deteriorating over time. In particular, they promote the development of microorganisms that will degrade the lubricant composition but also promote corrosion of the parts of the watch.
  • oils used for the lubrication of timepieces are very fluid. Such oils have a natural tendency to migrate in case of deficient surface preparation. This migration would be catastrophic for the operation of the movement, so that these oils require the application of a layer of epilame, which complicates the steps of mounting a timepiece.
  • the present invention also relates to a lubricant composition according to the claims.
  • glycerol ethers have the advantage of making it possible to obtain lubricant compositions that are stable over time, while guaranteeing tribological properties equal to or greater than those of known lubricating compositions.
  • the present invention relates to a timepiece comprising at least two elements in contact and relatively movable relative to each other, at least one of said elements having a contact surface which is lubricated by means of a lubricating composition.
  • said lubricating composition comprises at least one glycerol ether chosen from the group comprising and their mixtures.
  • the contact surface of at least one of the two elements in contact may be metal, metal alloy or plastic. So, the contact surface of at least one of the two elements in contact may be ferrous or cuprous alloy and have a surface coating electrochemically deposited, chemical, plasma or other.
  • a surface tension modification layer preventing the spreading of the lubricant composition. It is also possible to perform diffusion treatments.
  • the contact surface of at least one of the two lubricated elements by means of a lubricating composition may exhibit affinity with hydrophilic groups.
  • the contact surface having an affinity with hydrophilic groups of at least one of the two elements is made of an oxide-based material.
  • an oxide may be chosen from the group comprising, for example, aluminum oxide and zirconium oxide.
  • the contact surface having an affinity with hydrophilic groups of at least one of the two elements is made of ruby or sapphire.
  • the counterpart may be a ferrous alloy, cuprous or other, coated or uncoated, treated or not.
  • the contact surface of each of the two elements has an affinity with hydrophilic groups, as defined above.
  • one of the elements of the timepiece is an anchor pallet and the other element is an escape wheel. It is also possible to advantageously lubricate a mobile axis (for example a wheel element or a pendulum) pivoting in a clock stone.
  • a mobile axis for example a wheel element or a pendulum
  • the lubricating composition also comprises all the necessary additives traditionally used in lubricating compositions, and in particular in lubricating compositions used in the field of horology.
  • the lubricating composition may comprise viscosity control agents, other complementary base oils, antioxidants, anti-wear and high-pressure additives and / or corrosion inhibitors.
  • the present invention also relates to the use as a lubricating agent in a lubricant composition for lubricating a contact surface of at least one element in contact with another element of a timepiece, said elements being relatively movable relative to one another. relative to the other, at least one glycerol ether as defined below, including their mixtures.
  • the present invention also relates to a chemical compound of formula:
  • isotridecanol into a flask. Add 0.01 mol of sodium metal and heat to 100 ° C. Once the sodium is completely dissolved, add 0.2 mol of 2,2-dimethyl-4-glycidyloxymethyl-1,3-dioxolane in 30 minutes at 100 ° C with stirring. Heat at this temperature for another 5 hours. Cool to room temperature, wash with 200 mL of water. Dry the organic phase over magnesium sulphate, filtered through buchner. 210 g of are obtained. The excess isotridecanol is separated by distillation, eb.
  • the lubricant is deposited in superabundant quantity.
  • the average coefficient of friction is measured over the first 10 meters.
  • the glycerol ethers are stable over time so that the lubricating composition according to the invention is not altered over time, unlike glycerol.
  • certain compounds used according to the invention have high viscosities at ambient temperature (consistency of a grease) and make it possible to formulate lubricating compositions with a high viscosity at ambient temperature (consistency of a grease). Consequently, the compounds used according to the invention make it possible not to use an epilame in order to prevent the spreading of the lubricating composition.
  • the Synt-A-Lube TM 9010 oil used in the comparative tribometric example, the 9415 grease used in the comparative watch example or the glycerol-based lubricating compositions are fluid or very fluid, so that require the use of an epilame.
  • the amplitude of a rocker lubricated by one of the lubricant compositions according to the invention is measured (conventional lubrication of the rock of pivoting of the balance shaft).
  • the amplitude of a balance wheel is also measured, the escapement having been lubricated by one of the lubricating compositions according to the invention (conventional lubrication of the teeth of the escape wheel).
  • the amplitudes are measured in degrees, the measurements being made on a representative sample of movements, with the same equipment.
  • Lubrication of the exhaust Lubricant Composition comprising a 50/50 mixture of compounds VII and X Moebius 9415 Average gain Horizontal 323 309 5% Vertical 311 290 7%
  • Lubrication of the balance Lubricant Composition comprising compound VII Composition comprising a 70/20 mixture of compounds VII and X Moebius 9010 Average gain Horizontal 316 318 310 2% Vertical 287 287 277 3%
  • the lubricating compositions according to the invention are therefore more advantageous than the known oils because they hold in place without resorting to an epilame, they do not deteriorate over time, while having tribological properties equal to or better than those of known oils. .
