Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for adjusting the running of a timepiece and, more particularly, to a setting of a clockwork movement equipped with a resonator of the balance-spring type to guarantee a better running at the same time. timepiece.
  • the invention relates to a method for adjusting the running of a timepiece.
  • the invention relates more particularly to the setting of a clockwork movement equipped with a resonator of the balance-spring type.
  • Such a balance spring-type resonator generally comprises a balance forming an inertia and a spring forming a resilient, which are mounted on the same axis.
  • E is the Young's modulus of the material used, h its height, e its thickness and L its developed length.
  • the method 1 according to the invention comprises a first step 3 intended to mount the movement to adjust in its future timepiece box.
  • the process begins with the casing of the movement provided with a balance-spring resonator.
  • a second step 5 is intended to measure the running of the timepiece, that is to say the nested movement.
  • the measurement of the step is performed without contact with the balance-spring resonator.
  • the movement being already nested access to the resonator is particularly narrow.
  • the measurement of the walking of the timepiece can thus be performed, for example, in optical or acoustic form.
  • This second step 5 is important for two reasons. Thus, on the one hand, it makes it possible to compare the measured step with a desired step. On the other hand, it also allows to know the beat of the balance in order to synchronize it with the projection of material to precisely deposit the material on the balance.
  • the method 1 continues with a third step 7 for determining the correction value to be applied to the inertia of the balance to obtain a desired step.
  • the correction value is determined by comparing the measured step and the desired frequency for the resonator in particular from equations (1) to (3) above.
  • the adjustment according to the invention only allows the increase of the moment of inertia I of the balance. It is therefore understood that the nested movement is preferably provided so that it has a march advance which will be corrected during the last step 9.
  • the correction value therefore corresponds to a symmetrical distribution of at least two masses of the material on the balance in order to modify the inertia of the balance without modifying its center of mass. It is understood that the correction value will be distributed, in a balanced manner, according to the number of desired deposits. By way of non-limiting example, if the deposit is made on the balance rod, the correction value will be divided by the number of desired deposits and each deposit will be distributed on the serge at an angle ⁇ equal to 360 ° divided by the number of desired deposits.
  • the correction value is determined by comparing, on the one hand, the measured step and, on the other hand, the desired unbalance and frequency for the resonator, in particular from equations (1) to (3) above. So we understand that the second embodiment takes into account more parameters than the first embodiment. It is also immediate that the second step 5 can then take into account, in addition, the amplitude of the balance in at least the 4 usual vertical control positions in order to be able to balance the balance. Indeed, the unbalance, via gravity, causes a torque that is added to the return torque of the hairspring and therefore causes a walking error.
  • the adjustment according to the invention only allows the increase of the moment of inertia I of the balance. It is therefore understood that the nested movement is preferably provided so that it has a march advance which will be corrected during the last step 9.
  • the correction value corresponds to the asymmetrical distribution of at least one mass of the material on the balance to modify the inertia of the balance and its center of mass. It is understood that the correction value will be distributed so as to balance the balance or form an imbalance on the balance according to the number of desired deposits. By way of non-limiting example, if the deposit is made on the balance rod, the correction value will be divided by the number of desired deposits. Then weighting is performed according to the desired unbalance correction. It is therefore clear that the weighting may consist of asymmetrically depositing the material, that is to say a distribution of the larger deposit number in a given sector of the balance and / or at least one deposit with a larger mass in a specific sector of the pendulum.
  • the method 1 ends with the fourth step 9 intended to modify, by adding a material on the balance, the inertia of the balance according to said correction value.
  • Such a step 9 is preferably carried out by the addition of material by means of a projection phase of the material on the beam.
  • This step 9 may be, for example, performed by placing the movement nested without the bottom box or without the entire bottom box.
  • This projection phase can be advantageously carried out using an Aerosol Jet printer from the company Optomec which allows a very precise projection with a very small volume of material.
  • the material deposited on the balance may include an adhesive, a paint or a metal suspension.
  • the material projection phase is followed by a solidification phase of the projected material.
  • This second phase may according to the material used consist of evaporating the solvent, thermo-harden the material or crosslink my material.
  • a polymer is deposited on the balance during the first phase and is then crosslinked during the second phase by means of ultraviolet radiation, which makes it possible to avoid as much as possible that pollution is accidentally introduced into the second phase. movement.
  • Step 9 can be performed statically (pendulum motionless) or dynamic (movement in operation).
  • the second step 5 is important in order to know the beat of the balance and, optionally, according to the control positions, in order to be able to synchronize the projection of material for drop the material precisely on the balance.
  • step 9 according to the first embodiment consisted of dividing the correction value into four masses of material 15 1 , 15 2 , 15 3 , 4 identical and distributed every 90 ° on the shank 13 of the balance 11 in order to finely adjust the timepiece.
  • the rocker 21 could include recesses for receiving the material projected in step 9 and thus block any splashing.
  • Step 9 consisted in dividing the correction value according to at least two masses of material 25 2 , 25 4 identical and received in the recesses 24 2 , 24 4 of the serge 23 of the balance 21 in order to finely adjust the workpiece. watchmaking.
  • 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.
  • the movement fitted if it comprises an automatic winding mechanism could be inclined so that the oscillating mass does not hide the balance.
