Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for manufacturing an electro-formed component of a clockwork structure.
  • the invention also relates to an electro-formed component of a clockwork structure produced according to such a method.
  • the invention also relates to a timepiece, comprising such a component constituting a middle part.
  • the invention relates to the field of watch structure components, and more particularly to thin components made of precious alloys, in particular gold.
  • the invention proposes to overcome these problems and to produce an improved structural stiffness component.
  • the invention also relates to an electro-formed component of a clockwork structure produced according to such a method, characterized in that it comprises, in the vicinity of said inserts, at least a first continuous closed surface for the accommodation of a peripheral seal, said first continuous closed surface being delimited by two connected surfaces of said component together forming a flat bearing surface.
  • said structural component constitutes a middle part.
  • the invention also relates to a timepiece, comprising such a case, characterized in that it comprises a bottom having a second continuous surface cooperating in abutment with two connected surfaces, and arranged to exert a crushing force of a said peripheral seal that includes said timepiece, said bottom bearing on a bearing surface for fixing said component to the right of each said insert to which said bottom is fixed by fixing means passing through said bottom and each cooperating with a machining that includes a said insert.
  • the invention proposes to produce an electro-formed component of a clockwork structure, and therefore of rather reduced thickness, of the order of a few tenths of millimeter, and nevertheless comprising strengthened areas strong enough to receive fastening elements, closure, attachment, decoration, or the like, these reinforced areas having sufficient rigidity to absorb the torsional and / or traction forces and / or shearing exerted by fastening means or the like, to ensure adequate shock resistance, and to avoid any deformation or tear of the electro-formed shell forming the bulk of the structural component considered, as well as to have an appropriate shock resistance .
  • the invention still proposes to make components with functional geometries impossible to achieve by traditional machining, particularly in areas of reduced accessibility or zero for a conventional tool.
  • the invention relates to a method for manufacturing a component of electro-shaped watch structure 1.
  • the first alloy comprising a first precious metal with a title at least equivalent to that stamped on the finished component is chosen.
  • At least one machining operation is performed on at least one such insert 3, and on the portion of the electro-formed shell 2 which covers locally.
  • At least one machining operation is carried out on at least one such insert 3 and on the part of the electro-formed shell 2 which covers it locally.
  • a brass or zamak is chosen as the second sacrificial material.
  • the sacrificial substrate is made of a polymer material loaded with conductive particles, or of polymer material covered with a conductive layer by a well-known "electroless" process.
  • such an electro-forming process is used to obtain a raw electro-formed component by growth of material both outwardly and inwardly of the sacrificial substrate, with the sections of matter required.
  • the sacrificial substrate is not necessarily an alloy, and it comprises at least one electrically conductive material, or coated with a conductive layer of electricity.
  • This sacrificial substrate may in particular comprise at least one polymer material loaded with conductive particles, and / or covered with a conductive layer by a well-known "electroless" method, or the like, or comprise a plastic loaded in a similar manner.
  • the other steps of the process can be carried out similarly to the method described above with a sacrificial alloy, only differs the mode of elimination of this sacrificial substrate.
  • a gold or platinum alloy is chosen as the first alloy.
  • an alloy having at least 75% by weight of gold is advantageously chosen as the first alloy.
  • the electro-formed shell 4 is made with sections of material between 0.25 and 0.35 mm.
  • the thickness may be less than the value of 0.25 mm, which is preferred for components requiring good mechanical strength.
  • At least one such insert 3 is made with a pre-drilling 32.
  • the diameter of the pre-drilling 32 is chosen as a function of the thickness of the first alloy deposited during the electroforming operation, in order to obtain at the level of the insert 3 concerned, in the raw electro-formed component 7, a diameter compatible with a finishing of the machining of this insert 3 by tapping by deformation or by removal of chips.
  • the pre-drilling 32 is equipped with a saver 9, possibly threaded beforehand or having a similar machining allowing its easy extraction, before performing the electroforming operation.
  • each said insert 3 is produced with its smallest dimension at least greater than five times the thickness of the first alloy deposited during the electroforming operation.
  • the invention also relates to an electro-shaped clock structure component 1 made according to one of the variants of the above method.
  • this structural component 1 comprises, in the vicinity of the inserts 3, at least a first continuous closed surface 11 for accommodating a peripheral seal 12, the first continuous closed surface 11 being delimited by two connected surfaces 13, 14, component 1 together forming a flat bearing surface.
  • this structural component 1 constitutes a middle part 20.
  • the figure 7 illustrates a variant with an insert 3, having a functional surface 33, in the immediate vicinity of an internal partition 21, impossible to achieve by machining, and easy to achieve with the invention.
  • the invention also relates to a timepiece 100, comprising such a middle part 20. It more particularly comprises a bottom 30 having a second continuous surface 31. This second continuous surface 31 cooperates in abutment with the two connected surfaces 13, 14, and is arranged to exert a crushing force of such a peripheral seal 12 that includes the timepiece 100.
  • the bottom 30 is supported on a bearing surface and / or attachment 15 of the component 1 to the right of each insert 3, to which the bottom 30 is fixed by fastening means 40 such as screws or the like, passing through the bottom 30 and cooperating each with a machining 31, in particular a tapping, that includes such an insert 3.
  • This timepiece 100 is in particular a watch.
