Definitions

  • the invention relates to an oscillator comprising a resonator of the inertia-elasticity type cooperating with a detent escapement.
  • the detent escapement systems are known for bringing high accuracy to marine chronometers in the 18th century by offering a direct pulse and low sensitivity to friction. However, they have proven to be particularly difficult to adjust and sensitive to shocks. Certain marine chronometers have thus been mounted under vacuum, in sand or on cardan suspensions to prevent any transmission of shocks inducing galloping, that is to say the accidental passage of two teeth of the escape wheel. instead of one, suitable for disrupting the operation of the timepiece. Thus, between the sensitivity to shocks and the bulkiness of such assemblies, it is currently unthinkable to implement a reliable detent escapement system in a wristwatch.
  • US 2012/063273 A1 describes an oscillator comprising a resonator of the inertia - elasticity type cooperating with a detent escapement comprising a trigger cooperating with an escape wheel, in which the trigger comprises a body provided with a rest lift cooperating with the escape wheel, a flexible guide forming a virtual pivot axis of said trigger and a release spring cooperating with
  • a stop formed at one end of the body of the trigger and in which the inertia member is provided with an impulse lift cooperating with the escape wheel and a release lift cooperating with the release spring.
  • WO 2012/010408 A1 describes a resonator which is in one piece and which comprises an inertia member and a first flexible guide forming the elasticity and a virtual pivot axis of said resonator.
  • EP 2 104 008 A1 US 2012/218870 A1 , WO 2011/120180 A1 and EP 2 037 335 A2 describe regulating members comprising monobloc components and / or flexible blades.
  • the aim of the present invention is to alleviate all or part of the drawbacks mentioned above by proposing an oscillator comprising a resonator of the inertia - elasticity type cooperating with a detent escapement which is reliable, compact, free from gallop and whose positioning of the components between them is very specific.
  • the invention relates to an oscillator comprising a resonator of the inertia - elasticity type cooperating with a detent escapement comprising a detent cooperating with an escapement wheel, characterized in that the resonator is in one piece and comprises a member of inertia and a first flexible guide forming the elasticity of the resonator and a virtual pivoting axis of the resonator, in that the trigger is also in one piece and comprises a body forming a rest lift cooperating with the escape wheel, a second flexible guide forming a virtual pivot axis of the trigger and a release spring cooperating with a stop formed at one end of the body of the trigger and in that the inertia member forms an impulse lift cooperating with the escape wheel and a release lift cooperating with the release spring.
  • the oscillator has very few parts to be assembled because they are mainly one-piece which furthermore allows the elements of the parts to be already perfectly referenced with respect to each other.
  • the oscillator is very compact thanks to the use of flexible guides which reduces the necessary thickness by dispensing with the use of pivots and intrinsically induces the elimination of the gallop.
  • the oscillator according to the invention advantageously makes it possible to increase the frequency of the resonator without reducing the overall efficiency of the oscillator in comparison with an oscillator using a Swiss lever escapement. Consequently, the oscillator according to the invention is sufficiently compact and reliable to envisage its application to a wristwatch.
  • the invention relates to an oscillator for a timepiece, that is to say a resonator coupled with a distribution and maintenance system such as, for example, an exhaust system.
  • the oscillator comprises a resonator of the inertia-elasticity type which cooperates with a detent escapement.
  • the latter includes a trigger which cooperates with an escape wheel.
  • the resonator is in one piece.
  • the resonator thus comprises, in one piece, an inertia member and a first flexible guide.
  • the latter forms the elasticity of the resonator and a virtual pivot axis of the resonator which avoids having to use the usual bearings and pivot.
  • the amplitude of the resonator is limited to the maximum deflections of the first flexible guide. This limitation of the deflections nevertheless makes it intrinsically impossible for the resonator to gallop, which by construction solves the main problem which usually penalizes detent exhaust systems.
  • the trigger is also in one piece according to the invention. It thus comprises, in one piece, a body, a second flexible guide and a release spring cooperating with a stop formed at one end of the body of the trigger.
  • This assembly is usually very difficult to adjust and the one-piece appearance according to the invention is advantageous in terms of positioning accuracy of the assembly.
  • the trigger body is provided with a one-piece rest lift which cooperates with the escape wheel which avoids the use of an additional pin and contact with the escape wheel in a plane other than the body of relaxation.
  • the second flexible guide forms a virtual pivot axis of the trigger. As with the first flexible guide, the second flexible guide avoids having to use the usual bearings and pivot.
  • the release spring cooperates with a stopper formed at one end of the body of the trigger.
  • the inertia member is directly provided with a thrust lift, that is to say that the impulse lift is integral with the inertia member.
  • the impulse lift cooperates directly with the escape wheel. It is therefore understood that no intermediate part is used between the member inertia and the escape wheel making the impulse even more direct than a usual expansion exhaust system.
  • the inertia member is also directly provided with a release lift, that is to say that the release lift is also integral with the inertia member.
  • the release lift cooperates directly with the release spring. In a similar way to the impulse lift, it is therefore understood that no intermediate part is used between the inertia member and the release spring, making the release more compact and even more direct with respect to a system of usual detent escapement.
  • the one-piece resonator is formed in first and second integral levels and the one-piece expansion is formed in first and second integral planes, the first and second levels being respectively coplanar or offset with respect to the first and second planes. It is understood that the thickness of the resulting assembly can be drastically reduced compared to an oscillator using a usual balance-spring resonator cooperating with a usual expansion exhaust system.
  • the one-piece resonator and the one-piece expansion can be formed in two single plates joined together in order to form a one-piece oscillator assembly, the resonator and the expansion of which are ideally referenced with respect to each other. .
  • This immediately gives rise to the advantage of a perfectly referenced assembly which is mounted in one piece in the watch movement without any particular precaution or fine adjustment to be observed.
  • This one-piece oscillator assembly could, for example, be made from integral silicon-based wafers such as typically a silicon-on-insulator substrate (known by the English abbreviation “SOI”). However, all materials that can be joined and which can be subsequently etched face to face, such as a silicon-on-insulator substrate, can be used.
