Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bell watch.
  • a watch In the field of watchmaking, it is known to equip a watch with a bell intended to produce one or more sounds, for example at regular intervals, as in the case of a large bell, or following an actuation manual, as in the case of a minute repeater and a quarter repeater, or even at a time adjustable in the day, in the case of an alarm clock.
  • the sound can result from the vibration of a stamp after it is struck by a hammer.
  • the stamp is generally comprised of an elongated ring-shaped element which partially surrounds the watch movement within the watch case. Several timbres capable of producing different tones can equip the same watch.
  • the watch movement When the watch movement is disposed inside a sealed housing, it is the same or the stamps, except to provide a complex device for transmitting a strike through one of the walls defining the sealed housing.
  • the attenuation of the vibratory waves is accentuated by the presence of seals at the interfaces between the parts delimiting the sealed housing.
  • the sound intensity of a sound is just one of its aspects.
  • a sound is also distinguished by its sound or timbre, which results from several factors including the structure of harmonics and partials in the sound and evolution of this structure over time.
  • the quality of a sound includes its intensity, as well as its other aspects, notably its sound or timbre.
  • the European patent EP 2 228 693 B1 proposes a solution in which the stamp is attached to the ice of the watch case.
  • the stamp fixing device is complex.
  • it is feared that, again, the sound of the sound emitted by the watch is not satisfactory.
  • the invention aims at least to improve the sound qualities of a ring incorporated into a watch, by means of a solution as simple as possible.
  • a striking watch which comprises a watch case delimiting an internal chamber, as well as an attached partition defining an acoustic acoustic emission membrane.
  • the partition divides the inner chamber into an acoustic cavity and a sealed housing accommodating a watch movement, a striking mechanism associated with the watch movement and at least one stamp intended to vibrate after being struck by the striking mechanism.
  • the acoustic cavity is delimited at least by the reported partition and a bottom which is constitutive of the watch case.
  • the reported partition carries the stamp.
  • a peripheral edge of the attached partition forms an assembly flange of this partition to the watch case.
  • a central portion of the reported partition forms said acoustic sound emission membrane.
  • An attachment of the stamp to the reported partition is provided. This attachment of the stamp to the reported partition is located at a portion connecting the periphery of the acoustic membrane to the assembly flange.
  • mechanical vibrations are vibrations occurring and / or propagating in solid material.
  • the mechanical vibrations of the stamp are transmitted to the acoustic acoustic emission membrane, which vibrates as a result and which emits sound waves in addition to those emitted by the patch. This makes it possible to obtain a sound of quality, whose parameters can be modified by playing on characteristics of the acoustic acoustic emission membrane.
  • the specific features of the acoustic acoustic emission membrane in particular its constituent material, its geometry and its dimensions, can be chosen to promote the vibration of this acoustic sound emission membrane at all or some of the frequencies, including the partials, to which the timbre vibrates after having been struck.
  • the ring watch defined above may incorporate one or more other advantageous features, alone or in combination, in particular among those defined below.
  • fixing the stamp to the reported partition is a rigid conductive vibration attachment.
  • the transmission of the mechanical vibrations of the stamp to the acoustic acoustic emission membrane is effective.
  • the rigid conductive vibration attachment alone holds the stamp. When this is the case, there is little damping of the vibrations of the timbre without sound emission.
  • the rigid conductive vibration fixation is carried out by a fixing device comprising a shoe which rigidly holds the stamp and which is rigidly attached to the reported partition.
  • the shoe has a tight face on a surface of the reported partition.
  • the transmission of the mechanical vibrations of the stamp to the acoustic acoustic emission membrane is effective.
  • the reported partition comprises a mounting base on which is mounted the stamp.
  • the assembly flange extends in a plane away from which the sound acoustic emission membrane is located.
  • a wall closed on itself of the attached partition connects the acoustic acoustic emission membrane to the assembly flange.
  • the acoustic acoustic emission membrane, the rigid vibration-conducting fastener and the timbre extend away from any distinct element of the reported partition. When this is the case, there is little or no loss of vibration of the timbre in an element not involved in the sound emission.
  • the striking watch comprises a seal disposed between the assembly flange and the housing so as to provide a seal between the sealed housing and the acoustic cavity.
  • At least one sound diffusion through ear communicating the acoustic cavity with the outside is pierced in said bottom.
  • a watch according to the invention comprises a watch case 1 resulting from the assembly of several pieces, including a caseband 2, a bottom 3 and a window 4.
  • the watch case 1 also comprises sealing seals and a window 5 held by the window 4.
  • the constituent parts of the watch case 1 are held together by fastening means known in themselves and not visible in the figures. .
  • the watch case 1 delimits an internal chamber 6, an attached partition 7 divides into two superimposed spaces, which are a sealed and sealed housing 8 and an acoustic cavity 9.
  • a sealed and sealed housing 8 In the sealed housing 8 are a watch movement 10 and a striking mechanism 11 associated with this watch movement 10.
  • a stamp 12 is also present in the sealed housing 8. Although there is only one stamp 12 in the example shown, it is possible to provide several stamps without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the patch 12 is an elongated element and curved uniformly over substantially its entire length. It runs along the middle part 2 and at least partially surrounds the watch movement 10.
  • the watch movement 10 and the striking mechanism 11 are known in themselves and are schematically represented, as is also the plate 13 of the watch movement 10.
  • the striking mechanism 11 is intended to strike the stamp 12 and so do it vibrate, for example one or more times at regular intervals, every hour, or following a manual operation, or even at a time adjustable in the day, in the case of an alarm clock.
  • the bottom 3 and the attached partition 7 delimit between them the acoustic cavity 9, which is flattened in the direction of the thickness of the watch and that the through openings of sound diffusion 14 communicate with the outside.
  • the bottom 3 of the watch case 1 may be devoid of hearing of sound diffusion 14, a striking watch that can incorporate the invention even if no hearing of sound diffusion 14 is pierced in the bottom of its housing.
  • the stamp 12 is mounted in the sealed housing 8, independently of the watch movement 10 and the striking mechanism 11, which have been removed on this figure 3 .
  • the stamp 12 is not fixed to the plate 13.
  • This patch 12 is fixed to the attached partition 7, via a shoe 15 which is metallic like the stamp 12.
  • the attached partition 7 is distinct from the watch case 1.
  • This attached partition 7, the stamp 12 and the shoe 15 are part of a subassembly 16, which can be assembled before being mounted in the watch case 1, and then be fixed in this watch case 1, to the middle part 2, using a set of screws 17.
  • the attached partition 7 and the middle part 2 clamp between them a seal 18, which contributes to the sealing of the watertight housing 8 with respect to the outside.
  • the subassembly 16 is such that its presence does not affect the tightness of the watch.
  • Subassembly 16 is shown alone to Figures 4 and 5 .
  • the attached partition 7 of this subassembly 16 generally has a bowl shape with flange. It comprises a peripheral edge forming an assembly flange 20, which is provided with holes 21 each for the passage of a screw 17.
  • One face of the assembly flange 20 delimits an annular groove 22 for positioning the gasket. sealing 18.
  • a central portion of the attached partition 7 constitutes a sound acoustic plane of sound emission 23, a rising wall 24 closed on itself connected to the assembly flange 20.
  • the sound acoustic plane of sound emission 23 extends in a plane P 1 , being shifted from a plane P 2 in which the assembly flange 20 extends.
  • a protuberance resulting from local thickening, inwardly, of the rising wall 24 forms a mounting base 25 to mount the shoe 15.
  • This mounting base 25 is connected locally around the periphery of the acoustic sound diffusion membrane 23
  • the added partition 7, including its acoustic sound emitting membrane 23 may be made, for example, of metal glass, or of titanium, or of steel, or else of a cuprous.
  • the sound acoustic emission membrane 23 can also be complex and consists of several associated elements. Its constituent material may be a composite material.
  • the shoe 15 is rigidly fixed to the attached partition 7, by metal screws known in themselves and not visible, which pass through holes 26 of the shoe 15 and which are screwed into the mounting base 25.
  • a planar face 27 of the shoe 15 is clamped firmly on a complementary flat surface 28 of the mounting base 25, so that the transmission of mechanical vibrations from the shoe 15 to the attached partition 7 is promoted.
  • the shoe 15 may be rigidly attached to the partition 7 by welding.
  • the shoe 15 Only the shoe 15 holds the stamp 12. More specifically, it rigidly holds a fixed end 29 of the stamp 12, the other end 30 is free.
  • the fixed end 29 is force-fitted into a hole of the shoe 15, so as to be rigidly secured to the shoe 15.
  • the stamp 12 is held only by its fixed end 29.
  • the shoe 15 and the screws which fix it to the mounting base 25 provide a rigid attachment of the stamp 12 to the attached partition 7.
  • This rigid attachment is conductive mechanical vibrations.
  • the striking mechanism 11 is provided to apply a striking on the stamp 12, in the vicinity of the fixed end 29. Following such striking, the stamp 12 begins to vibrate. Once it vibrates, the tone 12 emits sound waves in the surrounding air. In addition, the shoe 15 transmits to the reported partition 7, the mechanical vibrations of the stamp 12. Mechanical vibrations generated by the stamp 12 are thus transmitted to the acoustic sound emitting membrane 23, which also starts to vibrate and which emits also sound waves, especially in the air of the acoustic cavity 9.
  • the emission of sound from the vibrations of the timbre 12 occurs at the level of this stamp 12 and also at the level of the acoustic sound emission membrane 23, which acts as a soundboard without being content to transmit sound vibrations.
  • the specific features of the acoustic sound emission membrane 23, in particular its constituent material, its geometry and its dimensions, are chosen to promote the vibration of this acoustic sound emission membrane 23 at all or part of the frequencies, including the partial ones. , to which the stamp 12 is able to vibrate, following an impact received.
  • the sound emitted by the patch 12 and the sound-emitting acoustic membrane 23 is of excellent quality, both in terms of acoustic intensity and sound or richness of sound.
  • the sound diffusion openings 14 diffuse on the outside the sound emitted in the acoustic cavity 9.
