Definitions

  • the invention relates to an elastic shell intended to be fixed on an axis.
  • the invention also relates to a one-piece spiral spring / elastic ferrule assembly, and a method of manufacturing such a one-piece assembly.
  • the introduction of the balance spring on the axis of the balance is done by means of a ferrule, which is in the form of a ring intended to be driven on the axis of balance and pierced laterally to receive the inner end of the spiral spring.
  • the balance shaft can also be welded to the ferrule.
  • Silicon is a material with many advantages for the manufacture of spiral springs, and micro-manufacturing techniques make it possible to produce a one-piece spiral spring / ferrule assembly.
  • the main disadvantage of silicon is that it does not have a plastic deformation domain. The ferrule can therefore break easily if the stresses exceed the elastic limit. It is thus necessary to size the shell both to maintain the spiral spring on the axis of the balance during operation of the oscillator (minimum torque) and also to be able to assemble the shell with axes, without breaking (or undergoing plastic deformation) if the diameter of the balance shaft and the geometric variations of the ferrule remain within a given tolerance range.
  • the documents EP 1,513,029 and EP 2,003,523 propose ferrules having a triangular opening.
  • the attachment of the spiral takes place at a point of attachment located at one of the vertices of the triangles.
  • the ferrule is formed of an external stiffening structure to which are attached flexible arms which deform to accommodate the balance shaft.
  • Document is also known WO2011026725 a spiral-ferrule spring assembly, with a ferrule having a bore provided with four circular bearing parts for receiving the balance shaft.
  • the bearing portions are delimited by longitudinal grooves formed in the bore of the ferrule.
  • the invention relates to a silicon watch ring comprising a junction point with a spiral spring and a passage for receiving a balance shaft.
  • the passage is of ovoid shape and is configured to deform elastically in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the passage and resiliently tighten the balance shaft by at least 2 contact lines extending over the height of the inner wall of the passage when the balance shaft is introduced into the passage.
  • An advantage of the invention is that the entire ferrule is deformed, unlike ferrules of the prior art, the ferrule does not have a nose or other rigid part. In the case of the invention, almost all of the ferrule is deformed, except the point of attachment of the ferrule.
  • the invention also relates to a one-piece ferrule / spiral spring assembly comprising a ferrule according to the invention.
  • the invention also relates to a watch movement or a timepiece comprising a one-piece ferrule-spiral spring assembly according to the invention.
  • the invention relates to a ferrule whose material does not comprise a usable plastic field, that is to say with a very small plastic field.
  • the ferrule-spiral assembly illustrated on the figure 2 is made in one piece, typically silicon. It comprises a ferrule 1 and a spiral spring 2 attached at its inner turn 20 to a point of attachment S1 on the periphery of the ferrule 1.
  • the ferrule-spiral assembly is held on a balance shaft 4 with circular section by driving the shell 1 on this shaft 4.
  • the shell 1 comprises a substantially cylindrical passage 10, configured to deform elastically in a plane P perpendicular to the axis of the passage 10 and thus receive and resiliently tighten the balance shaft 4.
  • the flexible passage 10 is of oval shape, and more preferably of "oval triangular" shape, and comprises at least two lines of contact with the balance shaft 4.
  • the flexible passage 10 is of triangular oval shape, and has three contact lines 11a, 11b and 11c with the balance shaft 4, the three contact lines forming, for example, an equilateral triangle.
  • the three contact lines 11a, 11b, 11c with the balance shaft 4 form angles ⁇ , ⁇ and ⁇ between them.
  • the contact lines 11a, 11b and 11c define recesses 10a, 10b and 10c between the ferrule 1 and the rocker shaft 4, these recesses 10a, 10b and 10c being non-contact zones.
  • one of the contact lines is diametrically opposed to the point of attachment with the spiral spring 2, in this way the ferrule 1 does not undergo deformation at the point of attachment and the location of the attachment point of the spiral spring 2 is not changed during the introduction of the ferrule 1.
  • the three contact lines 11a, 11b and 11c form between them an angle ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ which is preferably greater than 90 degrees, more preferably less than 150 degrees, and is here substantially equal to 120 degrees.
  • the passage 10 exerts, at the level of the contact lines 11a, 11b, 11c, elastic return forces reminding the inner wall of the passage in contact against the balance shaft.
  • the distance between the rocker shaft 4 and the shell 1 at the recesses 10a, 10 and 10c is greater than 0. There is therefore clamping at the three contact lines 11a, 11b and 11c but no clamping at the recesses 10a, 10b and 10c.
  • the distance between the rocker shaft 4 and the shell 1 at the recesses 10a, 10 and 10c is between 0 and a quarter of the diameter of the balance shaft 4. Even more preferably, the distance between the the balance shaft 4 and the ferrule 1 at the recesses 10a, 10 and 10c is between 0 and 50 ⁇ m.
  • the distance between the balance shaft 4 and the ferrule 1 ensures a small clearance while a clamping is applied at the level of the contact lines 11a, 11b and 11c.
  • Such an arrangement has the particular advantage of maximizing the support radius of the passage 10 of the collar 1 on the axis of the shaft 4, while ensuring a sufficient holding torque on the balance shaft 4, with a level of stress less than the maximum allowable stress for the material.
  • a greater support radius makes it possible to obtain a higher holding torque.
  • the thickness is determined so that the maximum stress exerted by the balance shaft 4 on the passage 10 is less than the limit. elastic material of the material forming the shell 1, the shell 1 accommodates the manufacturing tolerances of the balance shaft 4 and that the holding of the shell 1 on the shaft 4 (torque, driving force) is adequate .
  • the hairspring 2 comprises a blade 3 wound on itself in a plurality of turns, the inner turn 20 having come into shape with the shell 1.
  • the point of attachment S1 between the inner coil 20 and the ferrule 1 is located on the shell 1. It is also noted that the ferrule 1 is symmetrical with respect to the axis A passing through the center C of the ferrule 1 and the attachment point S 1 .
  • the shell 1 and the spiral spring 2 are made of silicon.
  • the ferrule 1 and the spiral spring 2 are made of a material having no plastic deformation, such as monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, porous silicon, amorphous silicon, doped monocrystalline silicon, doped polycrystalline silicon, doped or non-doped silicon carbide, doped or non-doped silicon nitride, doped or non-doped silicon oxide such as quartz or silica, or ceramics.
  • a material having no plastic deformation such as monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, porous silicon, amorphous silicon, doped monocrystalline silicon, doped polycrystalline silicon, doped or non-doped silicon carbide, doped or non-doped silicon nitride, doped or non-doped silicon oxide such as quartz or silica, or ceramics.
  • the ferrule 1 and the spiral spring 2 may also be made of a material such as amorphous metal.
