Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electric winder for automatic watch, the winder comprising an electric motor, a battery arranged to power the motor, a solar cell arranged to charge the battery, an internal clock, electronic means for controlling the motor, and a control interface of the electronic means by a user.
  • the present invention relates more particularly to such a winding adapted to also serve as a display for the automatic watch.
  • the automatic watches are equipped with a mechanism that automatically raises the mainspring by using the movements of the arm of the wearer of the watch as a driving force.
  • the movements rotate or oscillate a steering wheel provided for this purpose inside the watch.
  • the steering wheel itself is designed to transmit the energy that drives it to a train that arms the mainspring. It will be understood that an automatic watch that remains motionless does not go up.
  • the patent document EP 2 481 322 describes an electric winding adapted to also serve as a display for a watch in the window of a dealer.
  • the electric winding device described in this prior document is formed of a base on which stand two uprights which carry a support element intended to carry a watch.
  • the support member is pivotally mounted between the uprights, and an electric motor installed in the base rotates the support member through a belt.
  • the rotation of the support element makes it possible to offer viewers a dynamic presentation of an automatic watch, while reassembling it.
  • the energy necessary for the operation of this electric winding device of the prior art can be provided either via the current of the electrical network or from solar cells arranged on the surface of the base.
  • the winder which has just been described has certain disadvantages.
  • the document explains that the movement of the support member is intended to be permanent.
  • an electric winder is not likely to go up a watch beyond the maximum tension of the spring.
  • the motor spring of an automatic watch is normally provided with a sliding flange. The latter is arranged to allow the spring to arm normally, but to slide against the walls of the drum as soon as the tension of the spring reaches a certain limit.
  • permanent winding as described in the above mentioned document is contraindicated. Indeed, such a reassembly has the drawback of causing accelerated wear of the mechanism of reassembly.
  • lovers of beautiful watches often prefer to examine a statically exposed timepiece.
  • the patent document is also known DE 195 35 229 which describes an electric winding allowing the reassembly of several watches at the same time.
  • the winder comprises a housing enclosing an electric motor and carrying a removable vertical support driven in vertical rotation by rollers provided in the housing.
  • the removable support includes housing for receiving multiple watches.
  • the removable support makes it easy to change the watches to be reassembled.
  • this electric winding provides that the support is kept permanently in motion and is slowed down or stopped only to remove a watch from the support.
  • constantly reassembly has the disadvantage of causing accelerated wear of the winding mechanism, and fans of beautiful watches often prefer to examine a timepiece exposed statically.
  • An object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art which have just been mentioned by providing an electric winder for an automatic watch powered by a solar cell, and suitable to simultaneously fulfill the function of winding and that of static display during the opening hours of a store.
  • the present invention achieves this goal by providing an automatic watch winder according to the appended claim 1.
  • the figure 1 is a schematic sectional view of a solar electric winding (generally designated by reference 1) according to the present invention.
  • the winding 1 comprises a base 3 which carries an inclined arm 5 which terminates in a rotating support 7.
  • a motor module 9 comprising an electric motor and a gear reduction gear (not referenced).
  • the rotating support 7 is coupled to the motor module 9 via a silicone tube 11 having at its ends openings in which are inserted frictionally the axes of the motor module and the rotating support.
  • the arm 5 is fixed on the base 3.
  • a number of elements of the winding 1 are housed in two cavities arranged in the thickness of the base.
  • a first cavity (not referenced) serves as housing for a photovoltaic cell 13 and a battery 15.
  • a second cavity (not referenced) contains a voltage boost circuit 17, a clock microcontroller 19 and a light sensor 21 constituted in the present example by a photodiode.
  • the photovoltaic cell 13 is a Sunpower ⁇ solar cell with high efficiency.
  • the voltage supplied by the cell is around 0.4 volts and depends on the light intensity as well as the current output.
  • a voltage booster circuit 17 is placed at the output of the solar cell. The function of the voltage booster 17 is to transform the electrical power supplied at very low voltage by the solar cell into a voltage slightly greater than 3 volts, so that it is compatible both with the accumulator 15, the microcontroller 19 and the motor module 9.
  • the microcontroller 19 is still connected to a control interface 23 which is shown in more detail in the figure 2 .
  • the control interface comprises a matrix LCD display 29 and four touch keys 31a, 31b, 31c and 31d.
  • the LCD display and the touch keys are integrated together in a transparent screen which closes the first cavity of the base 3.
  • the control interface 23 is perfectly transparent. The ambient light can therefore reach the solar cell 13 without hindrance.
  • the microcontroller 19 is arranged to selectively execute one or the other of a plurality of programs corresponding to as many modes of operation.
  • the touch keys 31a, 31b, 31c and 31d in particular allow a user to select the desired operating mode.
  • a first of the selectable modes of operation is a mode in which the rotating support is driven only when the crown is illuminated.
  • the microcontroller 19 is connected to a photodiode 21, and to determine if the winding is illuminated, the microcontroller regularly controls the behavior of the photodiode to determine if the intensity of the ambient light exceeds a predefined threshold.
  • this first mode of operation may comprise the following steps: as soon as the microcontroller determines that the illumination is sufficient, it rotates the motor module 9 at the speed of two revolutions per minute, as long as the intensity of light does not fall below the predefined threshold. In the case where the light intensity does not weaken, after 12 hours, the engine module will have completed 1440 turns to the rotating support 7. At this time, the microcontroller interrupts the reassembly and goes to sleep for the next 12 hours . At the end of the 12 hours of sleep, the microcontroller goes to sleep again, ready to restart its program as soon as the lighting is sufficient.
  • a second of the selectable operating modes is a mode in which a drive program of the rotating support 7 is started at a previously selected time using the control interface 23.
  • the user can change the values of certain parameters of the winding program using the control interface 23. These parameters include in particular the time at which the drive program of the rotating support (7) must start.
  • the user first uses the touch keys 31a and 31b ( figure 2 ) to choose the parameter to be adjusted. Then, it uses the touch keys 31c and 31d to modify the value of this parameter.
  • the second mode of operation above makes it possible to use the control interface not only to choose the start time of the training program, but also to define a certain number of parameters of this program.
  • a parameter which is particularly advantageous to be able to define case by case, is the duration of the winding program.
  • the duration or the number of revolutions made during the winding program depends on the model of the automatic watch that one wishes to remount.
  • a preferred variant of the present invention provides that a user can enter an indication of the model of the watch into the control interface 23.
  • the indication of the model of the watch can be effected by entering a corresponding code in the control interface 23.
  • the electric winding comprises a non-volatile memory associated with the microcontroller 19.
  • This memory contains a table of correspondences corresponding to each model of shows an identification code on the one hand, and a number of turns or a period of reassembly on the other hand.
  • a user can program the number of revolutions or the reassembly time by simply introducing the identification code of a watch model in the control interface 23.
  • the manual entry of the model indication of the watch could be replaced by a semi-automated entry of this indication.
  • the control interface 23 could comprise for example a barcode reading device or RFID. Under these conditions, if the watch, or rather its packaging, contained an RFID chip or an identification barcode, the user would simply have to approach this identification of the reading device to enter the indication of the model of the shows in electronic means 19.
  • winding parameter that can be selected by the user of the winder by means of the control interface (23) could be the direction of reassembly.
  • This parameter could, for example, selectively take one of the three values: "clockwise rotation”, “counterclockwise rotation”, and "alternating winding” (the latter option would for example be implemented in the form of a sequence 10 minutes of winding in one direction, then 10 minutes in the other, and so on).
  • the winding can have the characteristic of stopping the rotation of the support rotating 7 at the end of the program in a well-defined angular position.
  • This last feature allows in particular to provide a winder with which the watch is always in a vertical position when the winding program ends.
  • a solar electric winding according to the latter variant comprises means for detecting at least one angular position of the rotating support 7.
  • These detecting means may comprise for example a permanent magnet 25 crimped into the wall of the silicone tube 11, and a "reed" contactor 27 connected to the microcontroller 19 and disposed within the arm 5 facing the circular path of the magnet 25.
  • the force of the magnet and the sensitivity of the contactor are chosen so that the switch 27 briefly closes when the magnet 25 passes in front of him and remains open the rest of the time.
  • the means for detecting at least one angular position of the rotating support may not be magnetic. Indeed, these detection means could equally well include for example a photodiode and a light source.
  • the light detector connected to the electronic means according to the invention could be constituted by the photovoltaic cell 13 connected to the microcontroller 19. In this case, it is the existence, or not, of a voltage exceeding a certain threshold. between the terminals of the photovoltaic cell that would be used to determine if the winder is illuminated.
  • the electric winding could also be equipped with means for detecting the presence of a watch on the rotating support 7.
  • the latter means would be connected to the electronic means, and keep the power winder dormant as long as no watch placed on the rotating support.
  • the rotating support would be driven only when a watch is on the rotating support. This feature would avoid wasting energy by running the motor unnecessarily.
  • the means for detecting the presence of a watch on the rotating support could comprise, for example, an optical sensor or a pressure sensor.
