Definitions

  • a vortex mechanism is a device for averaging the deviation of the positions of the balance of a timepiece.
  • a vortex mechanism comprises, for this purpose, a support, (for example a cage in the case of the traditional vortex) pivotally mounted on the frame, generally an assembly formed of a bridge and a plate and, pivotally mounted on this support, a balance spring and an exhaust comprising in particular an escapement wheel with a wheel and a pinion.
  • the support comprises a gear connected kinematically to the work train of the timepiece, in general to the average wheel.
  • the torque applied by the average wheel on the gear slightly rotates the support, the pendulum pulse being given by the exhaust whose mobile rotates by meshing of its pinion with the gear wheel.
  • the wheels and gears are, in general, arranged and numbered so that the vortex performs one revolution per minute.
  • the position of the neutral point of the balance is therefore one revolution per minute, which average the deviations in the vertical positions.
  • the difference between horizontal and vertical positions remains.
  • a triaxial vortex described in the application EP 1 574 916 comprising a cage containing the balance and the escapement rotated along an axis, the cage being mounted in a second cage so as to be rotatable about another axis, the second cage being rotatably mounted in a third cage rotating around an axis fixed relative to the timepiece, the three axes being perpendicular to one another.
  • the triaxial vortex is driven by a drive wheel mounted on the turntable of the timepiece, which drives a pinion integral with the third cage, and rotates said cage around its axis thereby rotating a pinion meshing with a fixed crown.
  • Such a mechanism has the disadvantage of being bulky and unattractive due to the presence of several toothed crowns appearing in particular dial face.
  • the known triaxial tourbillon mechanisms therefore have elements that are harmful and contrary to the expected characteristics of a vortex, namely to have a system as light as possible to have as little inertia as possible, as well as good visibility of the latter. .
  • An object of the present invention is therefore to overcome these disadvantages by providing a timepiece comprising a vortex mechanism to reduce the moment of inertia of the system.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a timepiece comprising a robust tourbillon mechanism, having a small footprint and improved aesthetic appearance.
  • the second and third axes are perpendicular to each other, the first axis forming a constant angle between 60 ° and 85 ° with the second axis.
  • the first cage comprises a first shaft extending along the first axis, said first shaft is pivotally mounted on the second cage and is integral with a first drive wheel of the first cage, a second fixed wheel being mounted secured to the third cage, said first drive wheel of the first cage being in kinematic connection with said second fixed wheel.
  • the intermediate gear is pivotally mounted on the second cage, said intermediate gear kinematically connecting the second fixed wheel to the first drive wheel of the first cage.
  • This construction reduces the bulk of the tourbillon mechanism and its moment of inertia.
  • the term "cooperate” means both a direct kinematic connection between two elements that an indirect kinematic connection between two elements, references or intermediate part (s) being provided between said two elements.
  • a vortex mechanism 1 mounted on a frame of a timepiece according to the invention.
  • the frame is a set of a bridge and a plate, but it is obvious that the frame can include any support element of the timepiece organs.
  • a driving mobile 2 such as a mobile of a finishing train, for example the wheel of average.
  • the vortex mechanism comprises a first cage 4 movable in rotation about a first axis A and on which are pivotally mounted a rocker arm 6 and an escape wheel, comprising an escape wheel and an exhaust pinion (not shown ).
  • first cage 4 movable in rotation about a first axis A and on which are pivotally mounted a rocker arm 6 and an escape wheel, comprising an escape wheel and an exhaust pinion (not shown ).
  • the vortex mechanism also comprises a second cage 8 rotatable about a second axis B and on which said first cage 4 is pivotally mounted about the first axis A.
  • the vortex mechanism also comprises a third cage 10 rotatably mounted on the frame about a third axis C, said third cage 10 carrying said first and second cages, 4 and 8, and driving them kinematically.
  • the third cage 10 is pivoted by the center, in no by its periphery. This allows on the one hand to reduce the size of the system and on the other hand to reduce the torque to be applied to the system to rotate it.
  • two of the first A, second B and third C axes are perpendicular to each other, the remaining axis of the first A, second B and third C axes forming a constant angle between 60 ° and 85 ° with one of the other two first A, second B and third C axes.
  • the second axis B of the second cage 8 is perpendicular to the third axis C of the third cage 10, the first axis A of the first cage 4 forming with the second axis B of the second cage said angle between 60 ° and 85 °.
  • the remaining axis of the first A, second B and third C axes, and more specifically the axis A forms said angle between 60 ° and 85 °, more preferably between 60 ° and 80 °, with one of the other two first A, second B and third C axes, and more specifically with the B axis.
  • the rocker 6 is pivotally mounted about a fourth axis D, said fourth axis D of the beam 6 forming with the first axis A of the first cage 4 an angle of 0 °.
  • the balance 6 is pivotally mounted about a fourth axis D, said fourth axis D of the balance forming 6 with the first axis A of the first cage 4 at an angle other than 0 °.
  • a first fixed wheel 12 is mounted integral with the second cage 8, said first fixed wheel 12 cooperating with the exhaust pinion mounted in the first cage 4.
  • the first cage 4 comprises a first shaft 14 extending along the first axis A, said first shaft 14 being pivotally mounted on the second cage 8 and being secured to a first drive wheel 16 of the first cage 4.
  • a second fixed wheel 18 is mounted integral with the third cage 10, said first drive wheel 16 of the first cage 4 cooperating with said second fixed wheel 18. This cooperation can be direct or indirect.
  • At least one intermediate gear 20 which is pivotally mounted on the second cage 8, said intermediate gear 20 kinematically connecting the second fixed wheel 18 to the first drive wheel 16 of the first 4.
  • the second fixed wheel 18 and the intermediate gear 20 form a bevel gear.
  • the axis of rotation E of the intermediate gear 20 may be parallel to the axis D of the balance 6, as shown in FIG. figure 2 . In an other alternatively, the axis of rotation E of the intermediate gear 20 can be inclined with respect to said axis D of the balance 6.
  • the second cage 8 comprises a second shaft 22 extending along the second axis B, said second shaft 22 being pivotally mounted on the third cage 10 and being secured to a second drive wheel 24 of the second cage 8.
  • a third fixed wheel 26 is mounted integral with the frame, said second drive wheel 24 of the second cage 8 cooperating with said third fixed wheel 26.
  • the second drive wheel 24 of the second cage 8 and the third fixed wheel 26 form a bevel gear. It is obvious that depending on the configuration of the mechanism, other types of non-conical gearing can be used.
  • the third cage 10 comprises a third shaft 28 extending along the third axis C, said third shaft 28 being pivotally mounted on the frame and being integral with a third drive wheel 30 of the third cage 10 cooperating with the mobile trainer 2 of the gear train.
  • the third cage could be mounted pivoted cantilevered, that is to say that its shaft 28 would be pivotally mounted on the frame of a single side, typically by the lower side, for example by means of a bearing to balls.
  • the shaft 28 is pivotally mounted on the frame by its two ends.
  • the third cage 10 comprises a central portion 10a flowing over the third fixed wheel 26, and a lower portion 10b arranged so that the third drive wheel 30, positioned here at the end of said lower part 10b, cooperates with the driving mobile 2 of the finishing train. It is obvious that an inverted configuration can also be envisaged, according to which the toothing of the third fixed wheel 26 would be directed towards the lower part 10b, the central part then flowing beneath said third fixed wheel 26.
  • the third cage 10 also comprises an upper portion 10c advantageously having, in the variant shown here, the shape of an arch attached to the central portion 10a. The arch is of small width, but rigid enough to maintain the system during an impact, which allows to leave visible the first and second cages 4 and 8 placed inside the third cage 10.
  • the third fixed wheel 26 is dimensioned so that the lower part 10b of the third cage 10 and the second cage 8 and the elements carried by the second cage 8 can pivot and circulate inside said third fixed wheel 26.
  • the axis C of the third cage 10 may be parallel or inclined with the axis of rotation of one of the mobile of the work train, and in particular the driving mobile 2.
  • the axis of rotation of the driving wheel of the work train may be perpendicular or not to the frame, the vortex mechanism being arranged accordingly.
  • the driving mobile 2 of the work train is driven in a rotational manner so as to subject the first stand 4 to a motor torque by meshing with the third drive wheel 26 of the third stand 10.
  • the second drive wheel 24 of the second cage 8 carried by the third cage 10 is capable of meshing with the third fixed wheel 26 to drive the second cage 8 in rotation.
  • the intermediate gear 20 carried by the second cage 8 is capable of meshing with the second fixed wheel 18 integral with the third cage 10, to drive in rotation the first drive wheel 16 of the first cage 4 and therefore the rotation of the first cage 4.
  • the escape pinion since the escape pinion is engaged with the toothing of the first fixed wheel 12, the engine torque can only cause a displacement of the first cage 4 when the exhaust gives a driving pulse to the balance, according to the conventional operation. an exhaust.
  • the construction according to the invention makes it possible to produce a tourbillon mechanism having a reduced moment of inertia with respect to the axis B. Indeed, the fact of having a different angle of 90 ° between the axes of the first cage 4 and the second cage 8 has the effect of bringing the system back to the center of gravity of the vortex mechanism. Considering the configuration of the mechanism according to the invention, it is found that there is more weight in the lower part of the system and in the tilting (that is to say having the angle between the axes A and B different from 0 ° and 90 °), the moment of inertia is reduced with respect to the axis B.
  • the moment of inertia with respect to axis B is 14.95 g.mm 2 .
  • the moment of inertia with respect to the axis B is 14.25 g.mm 2 , a decrease in the moment of inertia with respect to the B axis of 4.68%. This is intended to reduce the resistance to rotation of the second cage 8 and thus to promote the operation of the system with respect to known systems in which the axes are all perpendicular to each other.
  • the cage 8 will rotate about its axis B with greater ease than if its axis of rotation B was perpendicular to the axis A of the cage 4.
  • the construction according to the invention also makes it possible to produce a tourbillon mechanism having a reduced bulk, in particular because of the inclination of the axis E of the intermediate gear 20 with respect to the axis C of the third cage 10. if the axis E is inclined with respect to the axis C, then the diameter of the second fixed wheel 18 can be reduced.
  • inclining the axis D of the balance 6 relative to the axis A of the first cage 4 it is possible, by finding the right compromise between the size of the balance and the distance between the balance and the cage, of further reduce the size of the first cage 4 and thus make the system even more compact.
  • the tourbillon mechanism of the invention is robust and also has a very good impact resistance.
  • the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described.
  • the shape of the cages can vary, as well as the type of exhaust, such as a detent escapement, for example.
