Definitions

  • the device for calculating mechanism for astronomical displays is presented.
  • the patent DE7014354 is a clock that displays the sunrise and sunset everywhere on earth, with a sphere that represents the Earth and a part that partially covers it, which represents the part of the Earth that is not exposed directly to the sun's rays . It is possible to know if it is daytime or night-time, to know where the sunrise or sunset is currently taking place, but it is not possible to know when the sunrise and sunset will occur. sunset in a precise position on Earth.
  • the patent WO0077578A1 is a watch that allows the display of hours of sunrise and sunsets for each month, on a scale of 24 hours. The sunrise and sunset times are calculated relative to a fixed location determined in advance.
  • the patent CN202494883 (U ) concerns an electronic watch with various sensors such as a compass and an altimeter and which displays the sunrise and sunset times of Chinese cities.
  • the patent DE102005032356 (A1 ) is a patent application for a watch dedicated to hunting, in which there is a dial that indicates the time and one that indicates sunrise or sunset information.
  • the patent DE20307922U1 claims the use of a double needle that allows the display of the hours of sunrise or sunset on a scale of 24h, one of the hands indicating summer time and the other the time of winter.
  • the patent CH690516A5 claims a sunrise and sunset indication mechanism consisting of a wheel that includes a sunrise cam and a sunset cam that each cooperate with a probe that controls moving horizons that allow the display of sunrise times and sleep concentrically on a 24 hour scale.
  • the mechanism is designed to display the rising and falling times of a predetermined position because the cams are fixed on the wheel.
  • Another distinctive point is that the probes each cooperate with a cam, but in the projected invention there is only need for a cam and feeler to calculate both the levers and sunsets.
  • the patent CN2689296Y concerns a 24-hour time display with an indication of day and night, the day / night changeover times are fixed and predetermined and depend on the geometry of the room 2.
  • the patent EP1962154A2 relates to a display mechanism for astronomical data for watches, which includes a sunrise needle and a sunset needle. It also boasts the presence of a sunrise cam and a sunset cam that cooperate with various elements. Same remarks as for CH690516A5 , only particularities related to the display differ. The sunrise and sunset cams are fixedly mounted on the annual wheel.
  • the patent EP2728421A1 relates to a phase display mechanism of a star by three-dimensional means and disengagement systems.
  • the patent EP0369242B1 is an astronomical wristwatch with a jump-shaped disc that makes one lap per year.
  • the disc contains segments of curves of the astronomical magnitudes to be displayed which appear in windows of the dial.
  • the patent US 3,366,800 describes an hourly scheduler operating on an annual basis including an annual compensation mechanism for variations in sunrise and sunset times (visible in Figure 12).
  • This mechanism comprises an annual wheel carrying a cam made in the form of a groove and intended to correct the position of a lever according to the time of year.
  • This document specifies that the position of the groove on the annual wheel is a function of the latitude and that each wheel with its groove is made for a given latitude.
  • the patent US 2,121,585 also discloses an annual time scheduler comprising an annual wheel carrying a cam arranged to provide programming adjustment according to the time of year. This document provides that the cam can be moved in a direction transverse to that of its axis of rotation to adjust the programmer according to the latitude at which it is used. Adjusting the position of the cam must be achieved by intervening directly on the mechanism, by unscrewing a nut to lock the cam in its operating position.
  • What is useful is therefore to overcome the main disadvantage of the prior art explained above by making it possible to correct or take into account in the calculation of astronomical phenomena variable parameters which influence the result. What is useful is therefore a coupling solution of time information and astronomical indications which is carried out without planetary gear.
  • Device for calculation mechanism consisting of a wheel which rotates a cam which is positioned in translation by a cam control, said cam cooperating with a probe which is guided in translation or pseudo-translation. This is to ensure that the position of the contact point of the feeler on the cam, in any fixed position of the wheel, remains unchanged regardless of the position of the cam control. Said probe cooperating with additional calculation mechanisms or with display devices.
  • One of the aims of the present invention is to remedy the main disadvantage of the prior art explained above by making it possible to correct or take into account in the calculation of astronomical phenomena variable parameters which influence the result, such as the position on Earth relative to which they are observed, or the parameters of the reference calendar hour used to calculate or display them.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a new means of coupling and combining information from different mechanisms to perform calculations that depend on these various inputs.
  • the invention relates more precisely to a watch movement according to claim 1.
  • Device for calculation mechanism consisting of an annual wheel 1 which rotates a cam 2 which is positioned in translation by a cam control 4, said cam 2 cooperating with a probe 3 which is guided in translation or pseudo-translation. This is to ensure that the position of the contact point of the feeler 3 on the cam 2, in any fixed position of the annual wheel 1, remains unchanged regardless of the position of the cam control 4. Said probe 3 cooperating with additional computing mechanisms or with display devices.
  • the device for calculation mechanism consists of an annual wheel 1 which is driven by the watch movement and which performs a complete revolution in one year. This carries a cam 2 and causes it to rotate. Said cam 2 is mounted on the annual wheel 1 by a rail linear guide device, slide or groove in one or other of the two parts. Said cam 2 can translate freely, but its position is imposed by the cam control 4 which immobilizes it in a fixed position depending on its own position.
  • a feeler 3 is in contact with the cam 2.
  • the probe 3 is guided in translation or in pseudo-translation by rail systems 7, 8, arranged either on the frame 15 or on the probe 3 itself.
  • the probe 3 is integral with a rack 13.
  • a groove device 9 can also be used for the linear guide, the grooves 9 can be sometimes on the frame 15 or on the probe 3 itself.
  • Another means is to have several pairs of flexible blades 11 which connect the probe 3 to the frame 15, or following the same principle but with several pairs of rigid arms 12 articulated at their ends.
  • the translation of the probe 3 allows it to remain in contact with the same part of the cam 2 regardless of the setting of the cam control 4 and thus to make the two parameters which are the position of the annual wheel 1 and the control of 4 independent cam on the result of the calculation which is the position of the probe 3.
  • This mechanism can be used in particular to perform calculations of astronomical phenomena, such as the positions of all types of bodies seen from the Earth, the hours of passage of the stars at defined positions and the time intervals between the passage of a star from a position defined at another defined position seen from the Earth.
  • the cam control 4 makes it possible to use parameters that influence the result of calculations of astronomical phenomena such as the position on Earth with respect to which they are calculated.
  • the probe 3 comprises a rack which cooperates with a toothed wheel 14, from which all types of mechanisms can be included to take into account additional parameters. influencing the calculation of astronomical phenomena and all types of mechanism for controlling displays in all forms. In another version of execution the probe 3 directly door solidarity displays in all forms.
  • the figure 6 shows an execution version with the probe 3 provided with a rack 13 'curve and a wheel 14' non-circular.
  • the figure 7 is a plan view showing a case where the rack 13 "and the pinion 14" are each composed of a single tooth. This solution makes it possible to avoid gear defects with several teeth when passing from one tooth to the other.
  • the figure 8 shows an example of a possibility of using the invention to display the sunrise and sunset times.
  • the invented device is connected from the wheel 14 by a gear train to the gear 26 which carries the needle 27 which makes it possible to read the sunrise time relative to the graduation 28 of the dial.
  • the gear train includes a planetary gear consisting of the ring gear 22, the central wheel 21, and the frame 19 which carries the satellites 20. Said planetary gear allows to include in the display the information coming from the wheel 23 which causes the crown 22 and which represents the longitudinal reference position with respect to which the display of the sunrise time is indicated.
  • a return 18 transmits the movement of the wheel 16 to the frame 19.
  • a second transmission 25 transmits the movement from a wheel 24 secured to the central wheel 21 of the sun gear, to the pinion 26 which carries the needle 27.
  • use of the invention allows the display of the sunrise while allowing to vary the longitudinal reference position with the wheel 23 and to change the reference latitudinal position by moving the cam 2 relative to the annual wheel 1 by the action of the cam control 4.
  • the same train can be used, but by connecting to the wheel 17 which is connected to the wheel 16 and whose movement is reversed .
  • this part has not been represented on the figure 8 .
  • the figure 9 shows another example of displaying sunrise and sunset times. This variant shows thin colored or transparent sheets serving as an indicator of time.
  • One of the aims of the present invention is to remedy the main disadvantage of the prior art explained above by making it possible to correct or take into account in the calculation of astronomical phenomena variable parameters which influence the result, such as the position on Earth by where they are observed, or the parameters of the reference calendar hour used to calculate or display them.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a new means of coupling and combining information from different mechanisms to perform calculations that depend on these various inputs.
