  • the document DE 202010004668 also discloses a device for winding a barrel spring having a cylindrical body inside which are disposed an electric motor, a gear reduction gear and a motor supply battery.
  • the device also has a flexible hollow tip integral with the output shaft of the electric motor and adapted to receive the crown of the watch and a switch controlling the engagement of the motor.
  • a disadvantage of the devices mentioned above is that they all require the manual actuation of a switch after inserting the crown of the watch in the cavity of the tip.
  • the main object of the present invention is to remedy these multiple drawbacks, by proposing a device for winding a mainspring of a timepiece, which is universal, easy to use and economical to manufacture.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a winding device which does not require the manual actuation of a switch by the user.
  • the object of the present invention by its various functional and structural aspects described above, makes it possible to ensure a reliable and simple reassembly of a manual or automatic winding watch.
  • the general principle of the invention is based on the implementation of a device 1 for portable winding to raise the spring of a barrel via the crown C of a manual or automatic winding watch, shown schematically to the figure 1 .
  • the device 1 is composed of a body 10 having at least two housings 110 and 112 intended to receive respectively a DC electric motor 11, a supply device, in this case a battery 12 which can be rechargeable or not, and an electronic control circuit 16 disposed at one end of the body 10.
  • supply device is arranged to supply the electronic control circuit as well as the electric motor 11.
  • the battery could be replaced by a power input connected to the mains by an electrical connection cord via an AC power converter. in direct current integrated or not to the device of reassembly.
  • the body 10 is generally cylindrical in shape and can open in two parts or half-shells 10a, 10b along the length of the device 1, the two parts interconnected for example by means of screws (not shown).
  • the two half-shells forming the body 10 can be hinged to each other to facilitate the change of component parts of the device.
  • the body 10 may be made of a plastic material, or even of a metallic material. It will be understood here that other materials could have been envisaged by those skilled in the art within the context of the present invention.
  • the device 1 also comprises drive means 19 of the ring disposed at the other free end of the body 10 of the device 1, namely the end opposite to that receiving the electronic control circuit 16.
  • the drive means 19 are integral with the output shaft of the motor 11 and are intended to rotate the crown of the watch.
  • the electronic control circuit 16 may have charging means 13 of the battery 12, such as a USB or micro-USB port.
  • a luminous display such as an LED (light-emitting diode), for example, indicates the state of charge of the battery 12.
  • the device 1 comprises a spring 15 positioned between the battery 12 and the motor 11 to allow the motor 11 to slide in its housing 110, with the drive means 19, the motor 11 and the housing 110 being configured so that the motor can be guided and slid along the longitudinal axis of the body between at least two positions.
  • the body 1 may have a cylindrical housing for receiving the spring 15, and disposed between the housings 110 and 112 of the motor 11 and the battery 12.
  • the battery 12, the motor 11, the spring 15, the drive means 19 and the hollow end 14 are aligned along the same axis passing through the body 10 of the device 1 along its length .
  • Such an arrangement of the constituent elements of the device 1 makes it possible to obtain a compact and easily manipulable device.
  • the device comprises a switch 18 disposed within the body 1 of the device 10 and cooperating with a second electronic circuit, said motor circuit 17, secured to the motor and sliding with the motor 11.
  • the motor circuit 17 comprises a switch contact 17a cooperating with a contact blade 18a forming a switch 18, which can be opened and / or closed so as to power and / or cut said motor 11.
  • the blade 18a of the switch 18 extends along the housing 112 of the battery and the housing 110 of the motor 11, one end of the blade 18a being in the immediate vicinity of the contact 17a of the motor circuit 17, and the other end being in contact with one of the poles, positive or negative, of the battery 12 at the electronic control circuit 16.
  • the motor 11 and the drive means 19 can slide from a so-called rest position, visible to the figure 3a , in which the switch 18 is open (contact 17a remote from the blade 18a) and the motor 11 is not powered, to a so-called operating position, visible at the figure 2b in which the switch 18 is closed (contact 17a in contact with the blade 18a) and the motor 11 is energized.
  • the transition from the rest position to the operating position is obtained by pressing the drive means 19 against the crown of the watch so as to move the motor 11 and constrain the spring 15 so that the contact 17a of the motor circuit 17 between in contact with the blade 18a of the switch 18 and that the motor 11 is energized to engage the rotation of the drive means 19.
  • the motor 11 has a third position in which the motor 11 is not energized when the pressure exerted on the drive means 19 exceeds a predetermined threshold. Such a case may for example occur when the user exerts too much pressure on the crown.
  • the drive means 19 comprise a hollow end 14 intended to cooperate with the ring, the hollow end 14 having a cavity 140 for receiving the crown of the watch.
  • the hollow end 14 may be made of an elastomeric material having a coefficient of friction sufficiently high to rotate the crown of the watch when the motor 11 is in the operating position or having a shape adapted to the crown.
  • the hollow end 14 can be connected to the drive means 19 removably so as to mount different end pieces on the device 1 and thus adapt to any type of crown, in particular to the different diameters existing.
  • the electronic control circuit 16 comprises torque limiting means and / or lap counter means in order to avoid forcing on the crown of the watch when the spring of the barrel is raised.
  • torque limit values are between 10 mNm and 50 mNm These values are preferably adjustable and will be adjusted by the manufacturer or the manufacturer depending on the type of watch to be reassembled.
  • the torque limiting means and / or said revolving means can be associated with display means such as an LCD screen displaying the various information related to the winding torque and / or the number of revolutions.
  • the winding device 1 operates as follows. The user enters the winding device 1 in one hand and a timepiece, such as a manual watch, in the other hand. The user then positions the crown of the timepiece at the hollow end 14 so that the crown comes to be housed in the cavity 140. The motor 11 is then in the rest position as illustrated in FIG. figure 3a .
  • the hollow end 14 of the device 1 against the crown of the watch this has the effect of moving the drive means 19 and the motor 11 and to constrain the spring 15 until the contact 17a of the motor circuit 17 comes into contact with the blade 18a thus closing the switch 18.
  • the motor 11 is then powered by the battery 12 and triggers the rotation of the hollow end 14.
  • the user can then maintain the engine 11 in the operating position until the crown has made the number of revolutions necessary for complete winding of the watch cylinder. Once this number of turns has been reached, the electronic system detects that the torque predefined maximum is reached (since the crown is locked because the spring is raised completely) or the number of revolutions corresponds to a predefined number of revolutions, and cuts the motor drive which is triggered. The user then releases the pressure exerted against the ring so that the spring 15 pushes the motor 11 back to its rest position and thus cuts off the supply by breaking the contact between the contact 17a of the motor circuit 17 and the blade 18a of the switch 18.
