It is possible, similarly to the example of the figure 8 that the bimetallic device 95 used has a plurality of first blades arranged to attach to a single second blade or, alternatively, that a plurality of second blades are arranged to attach to a single first blade.
- the bimetallic devices 95 according to the invention are advantageously used to provide an auxiliary heat compensation at the level of the racket to a resonator comprising a compensating hairspring. It is understood that, depending on the auxiliary compensation to be provided, the materials and the geometries used bimetallic device 95 and, optionally, the block / feeder 6 and / or the base 9 and / or fixing means 11, 13, 15, 17 abutment, will be chosen to adjust the most precise movement of the watch movement. It is also possible to adjust the position of the bimetallic device 95 to optimize its influence.
- a bimetallic device of the type illustrated in FIG. figure 11 can be adapted not to change the position of a racket pin but the position of the pinning point of a spiral in temperature function. It is then understood that the bimetallic device would be mounted between a fixed point of the watch movement, like a bridge, and the outer curve of a hairspring so that the active length of the hairspring can be modified as a function of the temperature without having to use a racket .
- the invention relates to a temperature sensor 81 comprising at least one bimetallic device 85 according to one of the preceding variants.
- the bimetallic device 85 according to the invention can be advantageously used to measure the temperature with a very high accuracy.
- the temperature sensor 81 may thus comprise a display 83 and an elastic device 87 for tracking the movement of said at least one bimetallic device in order to modify the position of the display 83 as a function of the temperature.
- the bimetallic device 85 comprises a band formed by a single first blade and a single second blade and which is mounted to be in permanent contact with a probe 80 of the elastic displacement tracking device 87.
- the probe 80 is integral with a pivot 82 intended to create a rotational movement B from the movements A of the bimetallic device 85.
- the pivot 82 communicates its movement B to the return 84 pivotally mounted according to the rotation C via the spring 86 to to force the feeler 80 to always follow the surface of the bimetallic device 85.
- the reference 84 meshes with the pinion 88 of the display in order to move the temperature display according to the rotation D, for example with a needle.
- bimetallic devices 85 could be used to display an average temperature value via a differential. It is also possible, similarly to the example of the figure 8 , that the bimetallic device 85 used comprises several first blades arranged to attach to a single second blade or, alternatively, that a plurality of second blades are arranged to attach to a single first blade.
- the bimetallic devices 85 according to the invention are advantageously used to provide a precision for measuring the temperature. It is understood that, depending on the accuracy of the measurement to be made, the materials and the geometries used bimetallic device 85 and, optionally, the block 6 and / or the base 9 and / or fixing means 11, 13, 15, 17 stop, will be chosen to adjust more precisely the operation of the temperature sensor. It is also possible to adjust the position of the bimetallic device 85 to optimize its use.
- the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example but is susceptible of various variations and modifications that will occur to those skilled in the art.
- organs of a timepiece are made of silicon.
- any silicon-based member could be modified during manufacture to integrate a bimetallic device according to the invention such as, for example, the hairspring or the escapement,
- the invention relates to a compensating hairspring comprising at least one bimetallic device.
- the bimetallic device according to the invention can be advantageously used to provide an auxiliary thermal compensation to a resonator at the point of pitonnage with a very high accuracy.
- the compensating hairspring could thus comprise an outer turn connected, in one-piece or not, to said at least one bimetallic device arranged to be fixed to a bridge in order to modify the active length of the compensating hairspring depending on the temperature.
