Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an escapement mechanism for a watch movement, in particular an escapement of the Swiss lever or English lever type.
  • the invention relates more particularly to the optimization of the assembly formed by the plate pin and the fork of the anchor.
  • the assembly made up of the plate pin and the anchor fork allows the anchor to be released from a tooth of the escape mechanism wheel and the balance wheel thrust.
  • the plate pin which is linked to the balance, and the fork of the anchor, allow the transmission of energy from the anchor to the balance at each alternation.
  • a conventional system consists of a so-called "half-moon" circular ankle with part of the circle which is removed to allow the ankle to enter the inside of the range with sufficient security.
  • the fork is in the form of a rectangular notch, the contact surfaces with the ankle being flat.
  • the optimization of the geometry of the contact surfaces between the pin and the fork aims in particular to reduce the friction in order to reduce the wear of the parts, or even to reduce the energy losses to increase the efficiency of the exhaust.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a precise and reliable watch escapement mechanism over a long period of use.
  • a watch escapement mechanism for a watch movement comprises an anchor with a fork and a plate device with a peg coupled to a balance, the fork comprising a first horn and a second horn.
  • the pin includes a first cam portion configured to engage an engagement surface of the first horn, and a second cam portion configured to engage an engagement surface of the second. horn.
  • the engagement surfaces contacting the cam portions - that is, the active surfaces - include a non-planar geometric profile, configured to reduce slip during release and pulse functions.
  • Each of the engagement surfaces has a geometric profile defined by a discontinuous function in its first or second derivative.
  • the first horn in one direction of rotation of the balance the first horn functions as an input horn and the second horn as an output horn, and in the opposite direction the first horn functions as a horn. exit and the second horn as the entrance horn.

  • the cam surfaces and the engagement surfaces are configured such that the first portion of the input horn engagement surface at least partially performs a function of releasing a pallet from the anchor, and the second portion of the engagement surface of the exit horn at least in part operates a function of the impulse of said anchor vane.
  • the second portion of the engagement surface of the inlet horn at least partly also operates a function of disengaging said pallet from the anchor.
  • the first portion of the engagement surface of the exit horn at least partly also operates a function of impulse of said pallet of the anchor.

  • the geometric profiles of the engagement surfaces and the cam portions of the pin may include at least a portion corresponding to a cog tooth profile.
  • the engagement surfaces of the fork contacting the ankle may be symmetrical about a midplane of the fork.
  • the cam surfaces on one side of the peg may be symmetrical to the cam surfaces on the other side of the peg in order to have identical engagement between the pin and the fork in both directions of rotation of the balance.
  • the fork can advantageously be produced by a deposition process such as by photolithography, or by other manufacturing processes used in the semiconductor industry, in a silicon-based material. This makes it possible to obtain profiles of surfaces of complex shapes with great precision.
  • the geometric profile of the engagement surface comprises a gear train profile.
  • the peg can advantageously also include a complementary cog profile.
  • the cog profile is an involute profile of a circle.
  • This profile can be automatically defined by specifying values of the modulus (for example 0.2) and of the number of equivalent virtual "teeth" that the anchor and the anchor would have (for example respectively 6 and 21) if they were part of a cog.
  • the cog profile is a profile according to the NIHS standard (Swiss Watch Industry Standard), for example the NIHS 20-25 standard, version 2002.
  • the ankle can include a conventional shape, such as a half-moon shape.
  • the peg may, however, include other optimized profiles to complement the profile of the engaging surfaces to eliminate or minimize slippage during release and impulse contacts.
  • an escape mechanism for a watch movement comprises a wheel 5 with teeth 9, an anchor 7, and a plate device 4 coupled to a balance 2.
  • the anchor comprises, a fork 13, paddles 17a, 17b, and a rod 15 interconnecting the paddles to the fork.

  • One pallet constitutes the entry pallet 17a and the other constitutes the exit pallet 17b.
  • the anchor comprises a dart 27 fixed on the fork by means for example of a pin driven into a fixing hole at the base of the fork.
  • the mechanism shown corresponds to a Swiss lever type escapement. This principle being well known, the conventional elements and their operation will not be described in more detail herein.
  • the plate device 4 comprises a large plate 6 with a pin 10 and a small plate 8 provided with a notch for the passage of the stinger.
  • the pin 10 comprises on one side a first cam part 12 and on the other side a second cam part 14.
  • first cam part 12 functions as an input cam
  • second cam part as an output cam.
  • the balance having an oscillating movement, in the other direction of rotation (second alternation) the functions of the first and second cam parts are reversed.
  • the fork 13 comprises a first horn 19 and a second horn 21.

  • One aspect of this invention is the use of adapted, curved and simultaneously optimized tooth profiles of the active surfaces, i.e. the contact surfaces, the pin and the fork of the anchor.
  • Different types of profile can be adapted to the pegs and fork depending on the point of the escapement and the frequency of the oscillator.
  • two types of specific cogs can advantageously be used:
  • This profile is automatically defined as a function of the modulus (eg modulus 0.2) and the number of teeth of the pinion and the wheel (eg 6 and 21 respectively).
  • the mechanism according to the invention is particularly advantageous for oscillators with a relatively low frequency, for example less than or equal to 4 Hz, and having a high inertia, for example greater than 10 mg cm2, and / or equipped with a system for shortening the catching the anchor.
  • the figure 3 illustrates the abrasion work as a function of the curvilinear abscissa of the surface of the fork in contact with the ankle for three types of geometries: (i) circular ankle and traditional fork, (ii) NIHS profile and (iii) profile in involute of circle.
  • the abrasion work for the NIHS and involute profiles is reduced by a factor of about three at the start of the function compared to the traditional profile. It follows that the energy transmitted to the balance (and therefore the regulating power) can be higher without introducing an additional risk of wear.
  • the figure 4 illustrates the torque given to the balance as a function of its position during the first impulse function for the three types of geometries: (i) circular pin and traditional fork, (ii) NIHS profile and (iii) involute profile circle.
  • the optimized profiles make it possible to transmit almost the same torque to the balance but over a higher angular interval (from 1 ° to 3 ° additional).
  • the total energy transmitted to the balance (integrals of the curves) during the first pulse of the first half wave is therefore greater than or equal using these profiles.
  • the transmission properties of each of the solutions are used in the pulse phase where they are the most effective.
  • the principle of this third solution is to combine at least two types of profile for the fork but also for the plate peg.
  • the contact during the first part of the pulse is made on a first type of profile with less sliding and the contact during the second part is made on another profile.
  • the first part of the impulse ( figure 5a ) is carried out for example with an involute type profile of a circle while the second part ( figure 5b ) is carried out with a traditional fork / peg geometry (circular peg and flat fork).
  • the invention can also be used in escapements with English type anchors, coaxial or other escapements of known types.
  • the advantages of the invention include a reduction in the risk of wear at the level of the ankle, in particular for systems with rapid anchor-balance adjustment, and the possibility of simultaneously increasing the torque available at the anchor and the angular interval. impulse (thus the energy transmitted to the movement) without increasing the risk of wear.
