L'invention concerne un barillet d'horlogerie pour montage pivotant entre une platine et un pont et comportant au moins un ressort logé entre un tambour pivotant et un couvercle et accroché entre, à son extrémité extérieure ledit tambour et à son extrémité intérieure un arbre, lequel est solidaire en pivotement avec un rochet autour d'un axe de pivotement, ledit barillet comportant un sous-ensemble monobloc coaxial audit arbre et regroupant, autour d'un noyau, ledit arbre et ledit rochet lequel est situé au voisinage immédiat de ladite platineThe invention relates to a watch cylinder for pivotally mounting between a plate and a bridge and comprising at least one spring housed between a pivoting drum and a cover and hooked between, at its outer end said drum and at its inner end a shaft, which is integral pivotally with a ratchet about a pivot axis, said barrel having a monobloc subassembly coaxial with said shaft and grouping, around a core, said shaft and said ratchet which is located in the immediate vicinity of said platen

L'invention concerne encore un mouvement d'horlogerie, comportant au moins une platine et un pont et un tel barillet.The invention also relates to a watch movement, comprising at least one plate and a bridge and such a cylinder.

L'invention concerne encore une montre comportant un tel mouvement. L'invention concerne le domaine des mécanismes d'horlogerie, et plus particulièrement les mécanismes de stockage d'énergie, du type barillet moteur, barillet de sonnerie, ou similaire.The invention also relates to a watch comprising such a movement. The invention relates to the field of watch mechanisms, and more particularly the energy storage mechanisms, the engine barrel type, barrel striking, or the like.

Arrière-plan de l'inventionBackground of the invention

Pour augmenter la réserve de marche, par augmentation du nombre de tours d'un ressort de barillet, fixé à son extrémité intérieure sur une bonde constituée, ou bien par un arbre, généralement cylindrique, ou bien par un noyau plus massif, une solution consiste en une diminution du diamètre de l'arbre de barillet et du noyau associé, de façon à augmenter la place disponible dans le tambour pour le ressort.To increase the power reserve, by increasing the number of turns of a mainspring, fixed at its inner end to a bung, or by a generally cylindrical shaft, or by a more massive core, a solution consists of in a decrease in the diameter of the barrel shaft and the associated core, so as to increase the space available in the drum for the spring.

Le rapport du rayon de bonde par rapport à l'épaisseur du ressort est usuellement compris entre 10 et 20, et l'invention se propose d'abaisser ce rapport en-dessous de 10, et préférentiellement dans la plage comprise entre 5 et 10.The ratio of the bead radius to the thickness of the spring is usually between 10 and 20, and the invention proposes to lower this ratio below 10, and preferably in the range between 5 and 10.

Le dimensionnement ne doit pas être fait à la légère, en effet un risque de casse existe si le diamètre de bonde est trop faible.The dimensioning should not be done lightly, indeed a risk of breakage exists if the bung diameter is too small.

Dans l'architecture classique des barillets, un rochet est monté axialement sur un axe de barillet ou sur une bonde, par l'intermédiaire d'un carré, le rochet étant généralement fixé par une vis axiale. La dimension de cette vis et celle du carré conditionnent donc un diamètre minimal d'une portée de pivotement. Un épaulement jointif à cette portée de pivotement limite l'ébat axial de l'arbre ou de la bonde par rapport à une platine ou à un pont porteur d'une pierre ou similaire.In the conventional architecture of the barrels, a ratchet is mounted axially on a barrel axis or on a bung, via a square, the ratchet being generally fixed by an axial screw. The size of this screw and that of the square thus condition a minimum diameter of a pivoting surface. A Shoulder joined to this pivoting surface limits axial fretting of the shaft or the bung relative to a plate or a bridge carrying a stone or the like.

On ne peut en particulier pas se contenter de réduire l'ensemble des dimensionnements, car les sections de matière sont alors insuffisantes pour assurer la tenue en fatigue.In particular, it is not enough to reduce all the sizing, because the sections of material are then insufficient to ensure fatigue resistance.

Il s'agit donc de conciller un diamètre d'arbre le plus réduit possible, pour autoriser la plus grande réserve de marche possible, et une rigidité de l'entraînement du rochet. t.It is therefore to conciliate a tree diameter as small as possible, to allow the greatest possible power reserve, and rigidity of the ratchet drive. t.

Le document US 1 561 673 A au nom de ULERY, publié en 1925 , décrit un barillet avec un arbre, et comportant une collerette servant d'appui à une roue dentée d'entraînement du tambour. Cet arbre comporte à ses extrémités opposées deux logements, dont l'un reçoit un pion de guidage de cet arbre dans un palier logé dans une platine et maintenant cette extrémité de cet arbre dans ce palier, et dont l'autre reçoit un pion conique goupillé qui comporte une portée similaire pour un guidage supérieur dans un pont, et, à son extrémité distale, un carré d'entraînement d'un rochet.The document U.S. 1,561,673 to ULERY, published in 1925 , describes a barrel with a shaft, and having a flange serving as a support for a toothed wheel driving the drum. This shaft has at its opposite ends two housings, one of which receives a guide pin of this shaft in a bearing housed in a plate and now this end of this shaft in this bearing, and the other receives a pinned conical pin. which has a similar reach for a top guide in a bridge, and at its distal end a square drive of a ratchet.

Le document CH 15 286 A au nom de DANASINO, publié en 1898 , décrit un barillet avec un arbre lisse qui porte une fusée creuse comportant un rochet. Cette fusée creuse comporte deux portées recevant le tambour et le couvercle. Le ressort moteur a une section augmentant graduellement depuis son extrémité extérieure vers son extrémité intérieure.The document CH 15 286 A in the name of DANASINO, published in 1898 , describes a barrel with a smooth shaft carrying a hollow rocket with a ratchet. This hollow rocket has two spans receiving drum and cover. The mainspring has a gradually increasing section from its outer end to its inner end.

Le document US 168 581 A au nom de POTTER, publié en 1875 , décrit un barillet avec un arbre sensiblement lisse pivotant à ses deux extrémités entre deux plaques de part et d'autre d'une platine dans laquelle est noyée le barillet et qui fait couvercle du tambour. Cet arbre porte une fusée creuse porteuse d'une roue, et sur laquelle est accrochée l'extrémité intérieure du ressort. En appui sur la fusée, l'arbre porte le tambour auquel est accrochée l'extrémité extérieure du ressort. L'arbre porte ensuite, en appui sur un léger épaulement de l'arbre, le rochet qui est emprisonné sous une des plaques latérales.The document US 168,581 A to POTTER, published in 1875 , describes a barrel with a substantially smooth shaft pivoting at its two ends between two plates on either side of a plate in which the barrel is embedded and which covers the drum. This shaft carries a hollow rocket carrying a wheel, and on which is hung the inner end of the spring. In support of the rocket, the shaft carries the drum to which is attached the outer end of the spring. The tree then bears, against a slight shoulder of the tree, the ratchet which is trapped under one of the side plates.

Résumé de l'inventionSummary of the invention

L'invention se propose d'améliorer la conception de barillets conçus pour une grande réserve de marche, en leur procurant une bonne rigidité, notamment au niveau du rochet, tout en conservant un nombre de composants réduit, et un coût d'usinage acceptable, ou, de préférence, plus économique que sur les barillets connus.The invention proposes to improve the design of barrels designed for a large power reserve, giving them good rigidity, particularly at the ratchet, while retaining a reduced number of components, and a machining cost acceptable, or, preferably, more economical than the known barrels.

Le noyau 4 comporte, au voisinage du rochet 2, une portée inférieure 41 pivotante dans un alésage 91 de la platine 9 ou d'une pierre 92 que comporte la platine 9.The core 4 comprises, in the vicinity of the ratchet 2, a lower bearing surface 41 pivoting in a bore 91 of the plate 9 or a stone 92 that includes the plate 9.

L'ébat du tambour 6 est limité en appui inférieur par rapport au pont 5, par une surface supérieure 61 du tambour 6 qui est limitée par une surface inférieure 53 du pont 5 ou d'une pierre 52 que comporte le pont 5.The frolicking of the drum 6 is limited in lower bearing relative to the bridge 5, by an upper surface 61 of the drum 6 which is limited by a lower surface 53 of the bridge 5 or a stone 52 that includes the bridge 5.

L'ébat du tambour 6 est limité en appui supérieur par rapport au rochet 2, par une surface inférieure d'extrémité 63 du tambour 6 qui est située du côté opposé à la surface supérieure 61 par rapport au ressort 7 enfermé dans le tambour 6. Cette surface inférieure d'extrémité 63 est limitée par une surface supérieure 21 du rochet 2 du sous-ensemble monobloc 10.The frolicking of the drum 6 is limited in upper support relative to the ratchet 2, by a lower end surface 63 of the drum 6 which is located on the opposite side to the upper surface 61 with respect to the spring 7 enclosed in the drum 6. This lower end surface 63 is bounded by an upper surface 21 of the ratchet 2 of the monobloc subassembly 10.

L'ébat du rochet 2 est limité en appui supérieur par rapport à la platiné 9, par une surface inférieure 22 du sous-ensemble monobloc 10 qui est limitée par une surface supérieure 93 de la platine 9 ou d'une pierre 91 que comporte la platine.The fretting of the ratchet 2 is limited in upper support relative to the plate 9, by a lower surface 22 of the monobloc subassembly 10 which is limited by an upper surface 93 of the plate 9 or a stone 91 that includes the platinum.

En somme, le premier exemple de la figure 1 est avantageux car le sous-ensemble 10 monobloc réunit les fonctions de couvercle, de rochet, d'arbre, et de noyau, sans complexité d'usinage autre que le crochet 32 d'accrochage du ressort 7. Il y a trois reprises d'ébat. La surface supérieure 21 du rochet 2, destinée à coopérer avec la surface inférieure 63 du tambour 6 peut avantageusement être soumise à un revêtement téflonné, de « rilsan® », ou similaire, pour réduire le couple de frottement entre le tambour 6 et le rochet 2. L'avantage de cette construction est qu'il n'y a pas de limite au diamètre du noyau. Dans la deuxième variante de la figure 2, le diamètre du noyau est limité par le diamètre de la portée de pivotement dans le pont 5.In sum, the first example of the figure 1 is advantageous because the monobloc subassembly 10 combines the functions of cover, ratchet, shaft, and core, without machining complexity other than the hook 32 for hooking the spring 7. There are three times of frolic. The upper surface 21 of the ratchet 2 intended to cooperate with the lower surface 63 of the drum 6 may advantageously be subjected to a teflon coating, "rilsan®", or the like, to reduce the friction torque between the drum 6 and the ratchet 2. The advantage of this construction is that there is no limit to the diameter of the core. In the second variant of the figure 2 , the diameter of the core is limited by the diameter of the pivoting range in the bridge 5.

Le ressort moteur peut être réalisé en différents matériaux : acier au carbone, acier inoxydable, « Nivaflex® », silicium, DLC, quartz, verre, ou similaire. Dans une application particulière, le ressort 7 est réalisé dans un alliage multiphasé à base cobalt-nickel-chrome, comportant de 44 à 46% de cobalt, de 20 à 22% de nickel, de 17 à 19% de chrome, de 4 à 6% de fer, de 3 à 5% de tungstène, de 3 à 5% de molybdène, de 0 à 2% de titane, de 0 à 1% de béryllium, et de module d'Young compris entre 200 et 240 GPa et un module de cisaillement compris entre 80 et 100 GPa. Ce ressort 7 a de préférence un rapport largeur/épaisseur compris entre 3 et 23, et plus particulièrement entre 9 et 21.The motor spring can be made of different materials: carbon steel, stainless steel, "Nivaflex®", silicon, DLC, quartz, glass, or similar. In a particular application, the spring 7 is made of a cobalt-nickel-chromium-based multiphase alloy comprising from 44 to 46% of cobalt, from 20 to 22% of nickel, from 17 to 19% of chromium, from 4 to 6% of iron, 3 to 5% of tungsten, 3 to 5% of molybdenum, 0 to 2% of titanium, 0 to 1% of beryllium, and Young's modulus of between 200 and 240 GPa and a shear modulus between 80 and 100 GPa. This spring 7 preferably has a width / thickness ratio of between 3 and 23, and more particularly between 9 and 21.

Et le rayon maximal de la portée de réception de ressort 31 de l'arbre 3 (sans tenir compte de la surépaisseur éventuelle propre à un crochet 32), réalisé en acier ou en acier inoxydable, par exemple en acier inoxydable trempable 4C27A (aussi dénommé selon les différentes normes 1.4197, ASTM 420F, ou DIN X22 CrMoNiS 13 1), par rapport à l'axe de pivotement D est inférieur à neuf fois l'épaisseur maximale du ressort 7. En particulier les réalisations illustrées permettent d'obtenir un rapport entre le rayon maximal de la portée de réception de ressort 31 de l'arbre 3 et l'épaisseur du ressort 7 compris entre 3 et 9, et de préférence entre 4 et 6, de préférence voisin de cinq.
L'invention concerne encore un mouvement 100 d'horlogerie, comportant au moins une platine 9 et un pont 5 et un tel barillet 1.And the maximum radius of the spring receiving surface 31 of the shaft 3 (without taking into account the possible extra thickness specific to a hook 32), made of steel or stainless steel, for example stainless steel hardenable 4C27A (also called according to the various standards 1.4197, ASTM 420F, or DIN X22 CrMoNiS 13 1), relative to the pivot axis D is less than nine times the maximum thickness of the spring 7. In particular the embodiments illustrated make it possible to obtain a ratio between the maximum radius of the spring receiving surface 31 of the shaft 3 and the thickness of the spring 7 between 3 and 9, and preferably between 4 and 6, preferably close to five.
The invention also relates to a watch movement 100 comprising at least one plate 9 and a bridge 5 and such a cylinder 1.

L'invention concerne encore une montre 200 comportant un tel mouvement 100.The invention also relates to a watch 200 comprising such a movement 100.
