Description

La présente invention a pour objet un mouvement d'horlogerie mécanique pour une pièce d'horlogerie telle qu'une montre-bracelet.The present invention relates to a mechanical clockwork movement for a timepiece such as a wristwatch.

Dans un mouvement d'horlogerie mécanique, pour un assemblage plus facile des composants du mouvement, l'échappement complet et l'organe réglant peuvent être montés prêts à fonctionner sur une plaquette ou un support appelé porte-échappement. Le porte-échappement est ensuite fixé sur le mouvement pour coopérer avec le rouage que l'organe réglant régule. Sur le porte-échappement peuvent notamment être fixés le pont d'échappement, le pont d'ancre (pour un échappement à ancre) et le coq.In a mechanical clockwork movement, for easier assembly of the movement components, the complete exhaust and the regulating member can be mounted ready to operate on a wafer or a support called exhaust port. The exhaust holder is then fixed on the movement to cooperate with the wheel that the regulating member regulates. On the exhaust door can be fixed including the escape bridge, the anchor bridge (for an anchor escapement) and the rooster.

Le document EP 2802942 décrit un organe réglant dit incliné, c'est-à-dire que dans sa position de service, l'axe de l'organe réglant n'est pas parallèle aux axes des mobiles du rouage qu'il régule ou encore que l'organe réglant n'est pas parallèle audit rouage. L'inclinaison de l'organe réglant permet en effet de compenser en partie les effets de la gravité sur ledit organe. Or, avec un organe réglant incliné, les réglages effectués sur le porte-échappement lors du montage de ses composants (échappement et organe réglant) et notamment le partagement de la roue d'échappement et de l'ancre, ont une influence directe sur la coopération entre l'échappement et le rouage, et donc sur la marche du mouvement, puisque le mobile d'échappement est incliné par rapport au rouage du mouvement.The document EP 2802942 describes an inclined regulating member, that is to say that in its operating position, the axis of the regulating member is not parallel to the axes of the wheels of the wheel that it regulates or that the body setting is not parallel to said gear. The inclination of the regulating member makes it possible to partially compensate for the effects of gravity on said member. However, with an inclined regulating member, the adjustments made on the exhaust-holder during the assembly of its components (exhaust and regulating member) and in particular the partitioning of the escape wheel and the anchor, have a direct influence on the cooperation between the escapement and the cog, and thus on the march of the movement, since the escape wheel is inclined relative to the cog of the movement.

De plus, avec un organe réglant incliné, l'utilisation d'un pignon d'échappement dont les dents ont un profil variable sur sa hauteur permet d'améliorer les conditions d'engrènement, notamment la répartition des efforts entre les dents dudit pignon d'échappement et du mobile d'axe non parallèle avec lequel il coopère. Cependant, avec ce profil variable, l'influence du partagement des composants de l'échappement sur la coopération de l'échappement et du rouage du mouvement est encore plus grande.Moreover, with an inclined regulating member, the use of an escape pinion whose teeth have a variable profile over its height makes it possible to improve the meshing conditions, in particular the distribution of the forces between the teeth of said pinion. exhaust and mobile non-parallel axis with which it cooperates. However, with this variable profile, the influence of the sharing of the components of the exhaust on the cooperation of the escapement and the gear of the movement is even greater.

Avec un organe réglant incliné, il serait donc très avantageux de pouvoir régler simplement la position du porte-échappement par rapport au rouage du mouvement une fois que la position de l'échappement et de l'organe réglant, et notamment le partagement de l'échappement et du mobile d'ancre, ont été réglés sur le porte-échappement.With an inclined regulating member, it would therefore be very advantageous to be able to simply adjust the position of the exhaust holder relative to the work train once the position of the exhaust and the regulating member, including the sharing of the exhaust and anchor mobile, were set on the exhaust door.

Le but de la présente invention est donc de proposer un mouvement d'horlogerie dans lequel la position du porte-échappement par rapport au rouage de finissage du mouvement peut être réglée par une opération simple, ledit porte-échappement portant un échappement et un organe réglant incliné par rapport au rouage qu'il régule.The object of the present invention is therefore to propose a clockwork movement in which the position of the exhaust-door relative to the work-finishing gearing can be regulated by a simple operation, said exhaust-holder carrying an escapement and a regulating member. inclined relative to the gear that it regulates.

La présente invention a pour objet un mouvement d'horlogerie selon la revendication 1, ainsi qu'une pièce d'horlogerie comprenant un tel mouvement.The subject of the present invention is a watch movement according to claim 1, as well as a timepiece comprising such a movement.

Le mouvement d'horlogerie selon l'invention est un mouvement mécanique destiné à équiper une pièce d'horlogerie telle qu'une montre-bracelet. Le mouvement d'horlogerie selon l'invention comprend notamment un porte-échappement 1 destiné à porter un échappement complet 3 et un organe réglant 4 et à être fixé sur le bâti 2 du mouvement.The watch movement according to the invention is a mechanical movement intended to equip a timepiece such as a wristwatch. The clockwork according to the invention comprises in particular an exhaust holder 1 intended to carry a complete exhaust 3 and a regulating member 4 and to be fixed on the frame 2 of the movement.

Selon l'invention, le porte-échappement 1 est conformé pour qu'une fois monté sur le bâti 2 du mouvement, l'organe réglant 4 soit incliné par rapport au rouage du mouvement qu'il régule et sa position réglable par rapport à ce dernier.According to the invention, the exhaust holder 1 is shaped so that when mounted on the frame 2 of the movement, the regulating member 4 is inclined relative to the work train of the movement that it regulates and its adjustable position relative to this latest.

Plus précisément et selon la forme d'exécution illustrée, le porte-échappement 1 comprend une première portion 1.1 et une seconde portion 1.2 dite portion inclinée 1.2, définissant deux plans non-parallèles entre eux. Le mobile d'échappement 3 ainsi que l'organe réglant 4 sont pivotés sur la portion inclinée 1.2 du porte-échappement 1.More precisely and according to the illustrated embodiment, the exhaust holder 1 comprises a first portion 1.1 and a second portion 1.2 said inclined portion 1.2, defining two non-parallel planes between them. The escapement wheel 3 and the regulating member 4 are pivoted on the inclined portion 1.2 of the exhaust port 1.

Le mobile d'échappement 3 comprend une roue d'échappement 3.1 solidaire d'un pignon d'échappement 3.2 et une ancre 3.3, tous pivotés entre la portion inclinée 1.2 du porte-échappement 1 et un pont d'échappement 3.4. Le pont d'échappement 3.4 est positionné sur la portion inclinée 1.2 du porte-échappement 1 au moyen de deux plots ou goupilles 3.6 et fixé au moyen de trois vis 3.5. Dans la suite, le terme « plot » seul sera utilisé pour désigner indifféremment un plot ou une goupille. Dans la forme d'exécution illustrée, le pignon d'échappement 3.2 présente une section variable (conique). En variante, ledit pignon d'échappement pourrait être droit (section constante).The escape wheel 3 comprises an escape wheel 3.1 secured to an escape pinion 3.2 and an anchor 3.3, all pivoted between the inclined portion 1.2 of the exhaust port 1 and an exhaust bridge 3.4. The exhaust bridge 3.4 is positioned on the inclined portion 1.2 of the exhaust port 1 by means of two pins or pins 3.6 and fixed by means of three screws 3.5. In the following, the term "pad" alone will be used to designate indifferently a pad or a pin. In the illustrated embodiment, the escape gear 3.2 has a variable section (conical). Alternatively, said exhaust pinion could be straight (constant section).

L'organe réglant 4 comprend quant à lui un balancier 4.1 et un spiral 4.2 et est pivoté entre la portion inclinée 1.2 du porte-échappement 1 et un pont de balancier 4.3. Le pont de balancier 4.3 est positionné sur la portion inclinée 1.2 du porte-échappement 1 au moyen de deux plots 4.4 et fixé au moyen d'une vis 4.5 (visible uniquement sur la figure 1).The regulating member 4 comprises a balance 4.1 and a hairspring 4.2 and is pivoted between the inclined portion 1.2 of the exhaust port 1 and a balance bridge 4.3. The rocker bridge 4.3 is positioned on the inclined portion 1.2 of the exhaust port 1 by means of two studs 4.4 and fixed by means of a screw 4.5 (visible only on the figure 1 ).

Le porte-échappement 1 est destiné à être fixé sur le bâti 2 du mouvement selon l'invention de sorte que le pignon d'échappement 3.2 engrène avec la roue de seconde 5 du rouage de finissage (non illustré) dudit mouvement, pour la régulation de ce rouage de finissage.The exhaust holder 1 is intended to be fixed on the frame 2 of the movement according to the invention so that the escape gear 3.2 meshes with the second wheel 5 of the work train (not shown) of said movement, for the regulation of this work train.

Selon l'invention, le mouvement d'horlogerie comprend des moyens de réglage permettant de régler et fixer la position du porte-échappement 1 sur le bâti 2 et notamment de régler la pénétration des dents du pignon d'échappement 3.2 avec les dents de la roue de seconde 5.According to the invention, the watch movement comprises adjusting means for adjusting and fixing the position of the exhaust holder 1 on the frame 2 and in particular to adjust the penetration of the teeth of the escape gear 3.2 with the teeth of the second wheel 5.

Dans la forme d'exécution illustrée, les moyens de réglage sont agencés pour faire pivoter le porte-échappement 1 autour d'un plot recevant une première vis de serrage 6.1, le contour de ce plot guidant un premier trou 6.4 de la première portion 1.1 du porte échappement 1 et la première vis de serrage 6.1 étant vissée dans le bâti 2 du mouvement. Les moyens de réglages comprennent en outre un excentrique 6.2 traversant un premier trou oblong 6.5 de la première portion 1.1 du porte-échappement 1 et fixé dans le bâti 2 du mouvement ainsi qu'une seconde vis de serrage 6.3 traversant un second trou oblong 6.6 de la première portion 1.1 du porte-échappement 1 et fixé dans le bâti 2 du mouvement.In the illustrated embodiment, the adjustment means are arranged to pivot the exhaust holder 1 around a stud receiving a first clamping screw 6.1, the contour of this stud guiding a first hole 6.4 of the first portion 1.1 of the exhaust door 1 and the first clamping screw 6.1 being screwed into the frame 2 of the movement. The adjustment means furthermore comprise an eccentric 6.2 passing through a first oblong hole 6.5 of the first portion 1.1 of the escapement holder 1 and fixed in the frame 2 of the movement as well as a second clamping screw 6.3 passing through a second oblong hole 6.6 of the first portion 1.1 of the exhaust door 1 and fixed in the frame 2 of the movement.

Le montage et le réglage de l'échappement 3 et de l'organe réglant 4 sur le mouvement selon l'invention sont décrits ci-après. L'échappement 3 et l'organe réglant 4 sont d'abord montés sur la portion inclinée 1.2 du porte-échappement 1 et leur position relative réglée sur ledit porte-échappement 1 hors du mouvement (sur un portage séparé par exemple). En particulier, le partagement de la roue d'échappement 3.2 et de l'ancre 3.3 peut être réglé lors du montage des éléments sur le porte-échappement 1 avant de fixer ledit porte-échappement 1 sur le mouvement selon l'invention.The mounting and adjustment of the exhaust 3 and the regulating member 4 on the movement according to the invention are described below. The exhaust 3 and the regulating member 4 are first mounted on the inclined portion 1.2 of the exhaust door 1 and their relative position set on said exhaust door 1 out of the movement (on a separate carriage for example). In particular, the partitioning of the escape wheel 3.2 and the anchor 3.3 can be adjusted during assembly of the elements on the exhaust holder 1 before fixing said exhaust holder 1 on the movement according to the invention.

Le porte-échappement 1 est ensuite positionné et fixé sur le bâti 2 du mouvement notamment au moyen des première et seconde vis de serrage 6.1, 6.3 et de l'excentrique 6.2. Pour régler la position du porte-échappement 1 sur le mouvement selon l'invention et donc la pénétration des dents du pignon d'échappement 3.1 avec la roue de seconde 5, on commence par desserrer la seconde vis de serrage 6.3. Le porte-échappement 1 peut alors être pivoté autour du plot qui reçoit la première vis de serrage 6.1, guidé par l'excentrique 6.2, jusqu'à la position voulue du pignon d'échappement 3.2 par rapport à la roue de seconde 5. La seconde vis de serrage 6.3 est ensuite resserrée pour fixer la position du porte-échappement 1 sur le bâti 2.The exhaust holder 1 is then positioned and fixed on the frame 2 of the movement, in particular by means of the first and second clamping screws 6.1, 6.3 and eccentric 6.2. To adjust the position of the exhaust holder 1 on the movement according to the invention and thus the penetration of the teeth of the escape pinion 3.1 with the second wheel 5, it begins by loosening the second clamping screw 6.3. The exhaust holder 1 can then be pivoted around the stud which receives the first clamping screw 6.1, guided by the eccentric 6.2, to the desired position of the escape gear 3.2 relative to the second wheel 5. The second clamping screw 6.3 is then tightened to fix the position of the exhaust holder 1 on the frame 2.

De préférence, les moyens de réglage sont agencés pour permettre d'ajuster la distance entre les axes du pignon d'échappement 3.2 et de la roue de seconde 5 d'environ +/- 0,2 mm, de manière encore plus privilégiée et comme illustrée aux figures d'environ, +/- 0,1 mm.Preferably, the adjustment means are arranged to make it possible to adjust the distance between the axes of the escape gear 3.2 and the second wheel by approximately +/- 0.2 mm, even more favorably and as illustrated in the figures of about +/- 0.1 mm.

La forme d'exécution ci-dessus a été décrite à titre d'exemple et des variantes sont bien entendu possibles sans sortir du cadre de l'invention telle que définie dans les revendications.The above embodiment has been described by way of example and variants are of course possible without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the claims.

Dans la forme d'exécution illustrée, les moyens de réglage sont agencés pour permettre la rotation du porte-échappement autour d'un point de pivot par rapport au bâti 2. En variante, les moyens de réglage pourraient permettre la translation du porte-échappement ou toute combinaison d'une translation et d'une rotation.In the illustrated embodiment, the adjustment means are arranged to allow the rotation of the exhaust carrier around a pivot point relative to the frame 2. Alternatively, the adjustment means could allow the translation of the exhaust door or any combination of translation and rotation.

De plus, en variante, l'excentrique 6.2 pourrait être remplacé par tout organe de réglage approprié comme une vis sans fin ou un élément s'appuyant sur une came, tandis que les première et/ou seconde vis de serrage 6.1, 6.3 pourraient être remplacées par tout organe de serrage approprié.In addition, alternatively, the eccentric 6.2 could be replaced by any suitable adjusting member such as a worm or a cam-supported member, while the first and / or second clamping screws 6.1, 6.3 could be replaced by any suitable clamping device.

De même, dans la forme d'exécution illustrée, le déplacement du porte-échappement 1 pour son réglage se fait dans un plan essentiellement parallèle au plan de la roue de seconde 5 et du rouage de finissage du mouvement ou encore dans un plan essentiellement parallèle au plan d'appui du porte-échappement sur le mouvement (ledit plan d'appui est parallèle au plan de la première portion 1.1 dans la forme d'exécution illustrée). De manière générale, le mouvement et le porte-échappement du mouvement selon l'invention sont agencés pour permettre le réglage de la position du porte-échappement une fois monté sur le mouvement dans un plan non parallèle au plan de l'échappement 3 et de l'organe réglant 4. En effet, un déplacement du porte-échappement dans un plan de réglage non parallèle au plan de l'échappement permet de régler la pénétration du pignon d'échappement avec la roue de seconde (distance entre les axes non parallèles) tout en limitant les modifications sur la hauteur relative entre ledit pignon d'échappement et la roue de seconde. Une variation de la hauteur relative est notamment problématique avec un pignon d'échappement conique (section non constante).Similarly, in the illustrated embodiment, the displacement of the exhaust holder 1 for its adjustment is in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of the second wheel 5 and the work train of the finishing or in a substantially parallel plane to the plane of support of the exhaust door on the movement (said bearing plane is parallel to the plane of the first portion 1.1 in the illustrated embodiment). In general, the movement and the exhaust-holder of the movement according to the invention are arranged to allow the adjustment of the position of the exhaust-holder once mounted on the movement in a plane not parallel to the plane of the exhaust 3 and the regulating member 4. Indeed, a displacement of the exhaust-holder in an adjustment plane not parallel to the plane of the exhaust makes it possible to adjust the penetration of the exhaust pinion with the second wheel (distance between the non-parallel axes ) while limiting the changes on the relative height between said pinion exhaust and the second wheel. A variation of the relative height is particularly problematic with a conical escape pinion (non-constant section).

On réalise ainsi un mouvement d'horlogerie comprenant un porte-échappement qui permet de porter un échappement et un organe réglant incliné par rapport à un rouage du mouvement et dont le réglage de la position sur le mouvement est simplifié. En effet, comme avec un porte échappement et un échappement traditionnel (non incliné), l'ensemble échappement et organe-réglant peut être assemblé et réglé hors du mouvement directement sur le porte-échappement. Le porte-échappement peut être ensuite placé sur le bâti et sa position réglée par une opération simple pour garantir la meilleure pénétration du pignon d'échappement et de la roue de seconde, sans risquer de devoir régler à nouveau le partagement ou un autre paramètre de l'échappement ou de l'organe réglant sur le porte-échappement. De plus, le réglage du porte-échappement permet également en une opération simple d'absorber les variations des tolérances des différents éléments du mouvement (bâti, ponts,...).A clockwork movement is thus realized comprising an exhaust-holder which makes it possible to carry an escapement and an inclined regulating member with respect to a work train and whose adjustment of the position on the movement is simplified. Indeed, as with an exhaust door and a traditional exhaust (not inclined), the exhaust assembly and body-regulating can be assembled and adjusted out of the movement directly on the exhaust door. The exhaust can then be placed on the frame and its position adjusted by a simple operation to ensure the best penetration of the exhaust pinion and the second wheel, without the risk of having to re-adjust the partition or another parameter of the exhaust or regulating organ on the exhaust door. In addition, the adjustment of the exhaust holder also allows in a simple operation to absorb variations in tolerances of the various elements of the movement (frame, bridges, ...).
