Le brevet CH 524 847 divulgue un mécanisme de saut instantané comportant un mobile d'armage, un ressort spiral dont une extrémité est solidaire du mobile d'armage et l'autre d'un mobile de sortie dont la périphérie est apte à coopérer avec un moyen de blocage, l'extrémité centrale du ressort spiral étant fixée au mobile d'armage et son extrémité distale au mobile de sortie.The patent CH 524 847 discloses an instantaneous jump mechanism comprising a mobile armature, a spiral spring whose one end is secured to the armoring mobile and the other of an output mobile whose periphery is adapted to cooperate with a locking means, central end of the spiral spring being fixed to the mobile armature and its distal end to the mobile output.

Exposé sommaire de l'inventionSummary of the invention

Le but majeur de l'invention est de proposer un mécanisme de saut instantané à faible couple et donc, à faible consommation d'énergie.The major object of the invention is to provide an instant jump mechanism with low torque and therefore low energy consumption.

Ce but est atteint au moyen d'un mécanisme de saut instantané comportant un mobile d'armage, un ressort spiral dont une extrémité est solidaire du mobile d'armage et l'autre d'un mobile de sortie dont la périphérie est apte à coopérer avec un moyen de blocage, ce mécanisme ayant ceci de particulier que l'extrémité centrale du ressort spiral est fixée au mobile d'armage et son extrémité distale au mobile de sortie.This object is achieved by means of an instantaneous jump mechanism comprising an armature mobile, a spiral spring whose one end is secured to the armoring mobile and the other of an output mobile whose periphery is able to cooperate. with a locking means, this mechanism having this particular that the central end of the spiral spring is fixed to the mobile armature and its distal end to the mobile output.

Ainsi, le couple de résistance que l'ensemble d'un tel mécanisme oppose au rouage du mouvement de base d'une pièce d'horlogerie a l'avantage d'être faible et très constant. De plus, la différence de couple du spiral entre le début et la fin de l'armage est relativement petite.Thus, the resistance torque that the whole of such a mechanism opposes the wheel of the basic movement of a timepiece has the advantage of being low and very constant. In addition, the difference in torque of the hairspring between the beginning and end of the haft is relatively small.

Un tel mécanisme est en outre facile à réaliser et à régler.Such a mechanism is also easy to achieve and adjust.

Exposé détaillé de l'inventionDetailed exposition of the invention

Un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention est représenté sur les figures 1 à 11.A preferred embodiment of the invention is shown on the Figures 1 to 11 .

StructureStructure

Sur la figure 1 en particulier, on peut voir que le mécanisme de saut instantané selon l'invention comporte une roue d'armage 1 et un ressort spiral 2. L'extrémité centrale ou centre 3 du ressort spiral 2 est solidaire de la roue d'armage 2 et l'extrémité distale 4 du ressort spiral 2 est solidaire d'un anneau de sortie 6 dont la périphérie ou bordure extérieure 7 est apte à coopérer avec un verrou 8 sensiblement en forme de disque.On the figure 1 in particular, it can be seen that the instantaneous jump mechanism according to the invention comprises a winding wheel 1 and a spiral spring 2. The central or central end 3 of the spiral spring 2 is integral with the winding wheel 2 and the distal end 4 of the spiral spring 2 is integral with an outlet ring 6, the periphery or outer edge 7 is adapted to cooperate with a substantially disk-shaped latch 8.

Ce verrou 8 est monté sur un axe solidaire d'un pignon de verrou 9 d'une manière qui lui permet d'effectuer un mouvement de rotation limité par rapport à celui-ci.This latch 8 is mounted on an integral axis of a lock pinion 9 in a manner that allows it to perform a limited rotational movement relative thereto.

Ce mouvement de rotation est délimité par le déplacement, à l'intérieur d'un trou oblong 11 visible sur la figure 2, d'une goupille 10 reliant le verrou 8 au pignon de verrou 9.This rotational movement is delimited by the displacement, inside an oblong hole 11 visible on the figure 2 , a pin 10 connecting the lock 8 to the lock pinion 9.

En revenant à la figure 1, on voit que le verrou 8 présente une encoche 12 et que l'anneau de sortie 6 comporte des dents 13 aptes à être reçues dans l'encoche 12.Returning to figure 1 it can be seen that the lock 8 has a notch 12 and that the output ring 6 has teeth 13 capable of being received in the notch 12.

Sur la figure 2 sont représentées plus en détail les liaisons cinématiques entre les différentes roues.On the figure 2 are shown in more detail the kinematic connections between the different wheels.

Un mobile d'entraînement 14, qui peut être le mobile des unités d'une pièce d'horlogerie entraîné par un rouage de temps, tourne en sens antihoraire (comme représenté par la flèche à la figure 2) en engrenant avec la roue d'armage 1.A driving wheel 14, which may be the mobile unit of a timepiece driven by a time train, rotates counterclockwise (as represented by the arrow at the figure 2 ) meshing with the winding wheel 1.

Parallèlement, le mobile d'entraînement 14 engrène aussi avec un pignon de renvoi 15 solidaire d'une roue de renvoi 16 entraînant le pignon de verrou 9. Ainsi, ce dernier tourne également en sens antihoraire (comme également représenté par la flèche à la figure 2).At the same time, the driving wheel 14 also meshes with a return pinion 15 secured to a deflection wheel 16 driving the lock pinion 9. Thus, the latter also rotates counterclockwise (as also represented by the arrow in FIG. figure 2 ).

La rotation de la roue d'armage 1, en entraînant le centre 3 du spiral 2, permet d'armer celui-ci, du moins, lorsque l'extrémité distale 4 du spiral 2 est immobile. Cette situation est représentée en particulier sur la figure 3, où une dent 13 de l'anneau de sortie 6 est en butée contre la périphérie 23 du verrou 8.The rotation of the winding wheel 1, by driving the center 3 of the spiral 2, allows to arm it, at least when the distal end 4 of the spiral 2 is stationary. This situation is represented in particular on the figure 3 , where a tooth 13 of the output ring 6 abuts against the periphery 23 of the lock 8.

Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 1 et 3, le centre du spiral 2 comprend de préférence une virole 3 qui permet de faciliter sa fixation à la roue d'armage 1. Cette fixation peut se faire au moyen de goupilles de fixation 17, par exemple au nombre de trois, qui relient la virole 3 à la roue d'armage 1 en occupant des trous de positionnement prévus tout autour de l'axe commun à la virole 3 et la roue d'armage 1. De manière préférentielle, les goupilles de fixation 17 et les trous de positionnement correspondants sont espacés autour de l'axe commun à la virole 3 et la roue d'armage 1 de manière régulière. Cette structure du mécanisme de fixation du spiral 2 à la roue d'armage 1 permet notamment d'ajuster l'armage du spiral.As can be seen on the figures 1 and 3 , the center of the spiral 2 preferably comprises a ferrule 3 which facilitates its attachment to the winding wheel 1. This fixing can be done by means of fixing pins 17, for example three in number, which connect the ferrule 3 to the winding wheel 1 by occupying positioning holes provided all around the axis common to the shell 3 and the winding wheel 1. Preferably, the fixing pins 17 and the corresponding positioning holes are spaced around the axis common to the shell 3 and the winding wheel 1 regularly. This structure of the fixing mechanism of the hairspring 2 to the winding wheel 1 allows in particular to adjust the winding of the hairspring.

FonctionnementOperation

Comme représenté par la flèche à la figure 2, le mobile d'entraînement 14 tourne en continu en sens antihoraire et entraîne la roue d'armage 1. Cette dernière, par l'intermédiaire des goupilles 17, entraîne le centre 3 du spiral 2. Dans la situation mentionnée et représentée à la figure 3, l'extrémité distale 4 du spiral 2 ne peut pas tourner car elle est fixée à l'anneau de sortie 6 et l'une des dents 13 de la périphérie 7 de celui-ci est bloquée par le verrou 8. Ainsi, seul le centre 3 du spiral 2 tourne, ce qui permet d'armer ce dernier.As represented by the arrow at figure 2 , the drive wheel 14 rotates continuously counterclockwise and drives the winding wheel 1. The latter, by means of the pins 17, drives the center 3 of the spiral 2. In the situation mentioned and shown in FIG. figure 3 , the distal end 4 of the hairspring 2 can not rotate because it is fixed to the output ring 6 and one of the teeth 13 of the periphery 7 thereof is blocked by the latch 8. Thus, only the center 3 of the spiral 2 rotates, which makes it possible to arm the latter.

Le mobile d'entraînement 14 entraîne aussi le pignon de verrou 9 par l'intermédiaire du pignon de renvoi 15 et de la roue de renvoi 16. Comme déjà mentionné, la goupille 10 relie le pignon de verrou 9 au verrou 8.The driving wheel 14 also drives the lock pinion 9 via the idler gear 15 and the idler wheel 16. As already mentioned, the pin 10 connects the lock pinion 9 to the lock 8.

L'encoche 12 pratiquée dans le verrou 8 est destinée à provoquer la libération du mobile de sortie 6. Ceci se produit une fois par tour du verrou 8.The notch 12 formed in the lock 8 is intended to cause the release of the output mobile 6. This occurs once per turn of the lock 8.

Le déroulement de cette libération est illustré par les figures 4 à 11 qui représentent des vues agrandies de la partie de contact entre le verrou 8 et la périphérie 7 de l'anneau de sortie 6 dans les situations différentes.The course of this release is illustrated by the Figures 4 to 11 which represent enlarged views of the contact portion between the latch 8 and the periphery 7 of the output ring 6 in different situations.

Sur la figure 4, on voit l'encoche 12 du verrou 8 se présenter à la dent 13.On the figure 4 , we see the notch 12 of the lock 8 to present at the tooth 13.

Sur la figure 5, l'énergie emmagasinée dans le spiral 2 entraîne en rotation l'anneau de sortie 6 et la dent 13 de ce dernier passe dans l'encoche 12. Par conséquent, la dent 13 entraîne le verrou 8 en rotation autour de son axe dans le sens antihoraire.On the figure 5 , the energy stored in the spring 2 rotates the output ring 6 and the tooth 13 of the latter passes into the notch 12. Therefore, the tooth 13 drives the latch 8 in rotation about its axis in the anticlockwise.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 6, ce mouvement de rotation n'affecte pas le pignon de verrou 9 grâce à la présence du trou oblong 11 qui permet au verrou 8 de tourner de manière limitée, la goupille 10 se déplaçant à l'intérieur du trou oblong 11.As can be seen on the figure 6 this rotational movement does not affect the lock pinion 9 by the presence of the oblong hole 11 which allows the lock 8 to rotate in a limited manner, the pin 10 moving inside the oblong hole 11.

Sur la figure 7, on voit que le verrou 8 possède de préférence un bec 19 et la roue de sortie 6 un dégagement 20 proche de la dent 13 permettant le passage de ce bec 19. Le bec 19 du verrou 8 empêche notamment le verrou 8 de tourner en sens horaire et de provoquer une libération intempestive de la roue de sortie 6. Cette situation pourrait notamment se produire après une libération volontaire, lors d'un rebond du verrou 8 qui le projetterait en sens horaire.On the figure 7 , we see that the lock 8 preferably has a spout 19 and the output wheel 6 a clearance 20 close to the tooth 13 allowing the passage of the spout 19. The spout 19 of the lock 8 prevents in particular the lock 8 to turn in direction hour and cause an untimely release of the output wheel 6. This situation could especially occur after a voluntary release, during a rebound of the lock 8 which would project it clockwise.

La figure 8 correspond à la figure 7 en faisant apparaître, par transparence du verrou 8, le déplacement de la goupille 10 à l'intérieur du trou oblong 11.The figure 8 corresponds to the figure 7 by showing, by transparency of the latch 8, the displacement of the pin 10 inside the oblong hole 11.

Les rotations de l'anneau de sortie 6 et du verrou 8 continuent, et, une fois arrivée à la situation de la figure 9, l'encoche 12 du verrou 8 a terminé de remplir son office et le bec 19 est ressorti du dégagement 20.The rotations of the exit ring 6 and the lock 8 continue, and once arrived at the situation of the figure 9 , the notch 12 of the lock 8 has completed filling its office and the spout 19 has emerged from the clearance 20.

La figure 10, qui correspond à la situation de la figure 9, montre que la goupille 10 est entretemps arrivée en position finale 21 du trou oblong 11.The figure 10 , which corresponds to the situation of figure 9 , shows that the pin 10 has meanwhile arrived at the end position 21 of the oblong hole 11.

Par la suite, la rotation de l'anneau de sortie 6 se poursuit jusqu'à ce qu'une nouvelle dent 13 vienne buter contre la périphérie du verrou 8 et on arrive ainsi à la situation de la figure 11.Subsequently, the rotation of the output ring 6 continues until a new tooth 13 abuts against the periphery of the lock 8 and thus arrives at the situation of the figure 11 .

La rotation du pignon de verrou 9 continue toujours dans le sens antihoraire, ce qui a pour conséquence que la goupille 10 revient progressivement à sa position initiale 22 dans le trou oblong 11, c'est-à-dire celle située à l'extrémité opposée, par rapport à la position finale 21, de l'arc de cercle formé par le trou oblong 11 (cf. Fig. 6, 8 ou 10).The rotation of the lock pinion 9 always continues in the counterclockwise direction, which has the consequence that the pin 10 progressively returns to its initial position 22 in the oblong hole 11, that is to say that located at the opposite end. , with respect to the final position 21, of the arc formed by the oblong hole 11 (cf. Fig. 6 , 8 or 10 ).

Ensuite, le pignon 9 se remet à entraîner en rotation le verrou 8 par l'intermédiaire de la goupille 10 en butée contre l'extrémité 22 du trou oblong 11, jusqu'à ce que l'on arrive à la situation de la figure 4 où un nouveau cycle démarre.Then, the pinion 9 resumes to rotate the latch 8 by means of the pin 10 abuts against the end 22 of the oblong hole 11, until we reach the situation of the figure 4 where a new cycle starts.

Réglagessettings

Le pignon de renvoi 15 et sa roue de renvoi 16 sont de préférence montés coaxialement sur un axe en prévoyant une liaison par friction, ce qui permet un ajustement précis du moment de la libération du mobile de sortie 6.The idler gear 15 and its idler wheel 16 are preferably mounted coaxially on an axle by providing a frictional connection, which allows a precise adjustment of the moment of release of the output mobile 6.

La virole 3 comprend préférentiellement plusieurs trous de positionnement 17 pour les goupilles de fixation 18. Ainsi, il est possible de plus ou moins préarmer le spiral 2, en changeant de trous de positionnement 17 recevant les goupilles de fixation 18, ce qui se traduit par un déplacement angulaire de la virole 3 par rapport à la roue d'armage 1 et donc à une modification de l'intensité de l'armage du spiral 2.The shell 3 preferably comprises several positioning holes 17 for the fixing pins 18. Thus, it is possible to more or less pre-arm the hairspring 2, by changing positioning holes 17 receiving the fixing pins 18, which results in an angular displacement of the shell 3 relative to the winding wheel 1 and thus to a change in the intensity of the winding of the hairspring 2.

Utilisationsuses

Le mécanisme selon l'invention peut être utilisé dans toutes sortes d'applications. L'homme du métier peut l'adapter aisément en modifiant la taille des pièces, les rapports d'engrenage, le nombre de roues de renvoi, le nombre de dents 13 du mobile de sortie 6, etc.The mechanism according to the invention can be used in all kinds of applications. The skilled person can adapt easily by changing the size of the parts, the gear ratios, the number of return wheels, the number of teeth 13 of the output mobile 6, etc.

Le mobile de sortie 6 peut être réalisé d'un seul tenant avec le ressort spiral 2, lequel peut ou non former une seule pièce avec une virole 3.The mobile output 6 can be made in one piece with the spiral spring 2, which may or may not form a single piece with a ferrule 3.

La libération du mobile de sortie se produit instantanément, c'est pour cette raison qu'on emploie l'expression « saut instantané ». Ce saut peut être mis en oeuvre dans des mécanismes variés, notamment d'affichage des dizaines de minutes et des heures. Ainsi, si le mobile d'entraînement est le mobile des unités d'une pièce d'horlogerie, sa vitesse est de 1/5ème de tour par minute, la vitesse du verrou 8 est de 1 tour par minute et le cycle décrit ci-dessus se produit toutes les minutes.The release of the mobile output occurs instantly, it is for this reason that the term "instant jump" is used. This jump can be implemented in various mechanisms, including display tens of minutes and hours. Thus, if the driving wheel is the mobile units of a timepiece, its speed is 1/5 th of a minute, the speed of the lock 8 is 1 rpm and the cycle described here. above occurs every minute.

Le faible couple résistif du mécanisme de saut selon l'invention permet d'entraîner un dispositif d'affichage des minutes lourd et volumineux sans trop altérer le fonctionnement du mouvement de base. Sur le mobile de sortie peut par exemple venir se fixer une cage des minutes composée de deux ponts et de cinq mobiles supportant les disques des minutes. La cage des minutes peut être maintenue entre une platine et un pont baguette.The low resistive torque of the jump mechanism according to the invention makes it possible to drive a device for displaying the heavy and bulky minutes without unduly altering the operation of the basic movement. On the mobile output can for example come to set a cage of minutes composed of two bridges and five mobiles supporting the minutes disks. The minute cage can be held between a turntable and a stick bridge.
