Description

L'invention concerne encore un dispositif de sélection d'une fonction horlogère. Elle concerne aussi un mouvement horloger comprenant un tel dispositif ou un tel mécanisme. Elle concerne enfin une pièce d'horlogerie, notamment une montre bracelet, comprenant un tel dispositif ou un tel mécanisme ou un tel mouvement.  a function horloqère. The invention relates to a winding mechanism and / or correction of at least one watch function. The invention also relates to a device for selecting a watch function. It also relates to a watch movement comprising such a device or such a mechanism. It finally relates to a timepiece, including a wristwatch, comprising such a device or such a mechanism or such a movement.
On connaît un mécanisme d'interface prévu pour sélectionner et actionner l'une ou l'autre d'au moins deux fonctions horlogères. De tels dispositifs sont connus et utilisés dans de nombreuses montres bracelets, qu'il s'agisse de montres simples ou bien de celles affichant une indication dérivée de l'heure, telle que les quantièmes du mois, les jours de la semaine, ou encore les différents fuseaux horaires. La commande de ces différentes fonctions nécessite communément le déplacement axial de la tige de commande dans au moins deux positions distinctes. Une première position peut permettre un remontage manuel, une deuxième position intermédiaire peut permettre une correction des quantièmes et une troisième position peut permettre un réglage de l'heure. An interface mechanism is provided for selecting and operating one or the other of at least two watch functions. Such devices are known and used in many wristwatches, whether simple watches or those displaying an indication derived from the hour, such as the calendar of the month, the days of the week, or the different time zones. The control of these various functions commonly requires the axial displacement of the control rod in at least two distinct positions. A first position may allow manual winding, a second intermediate position may allow a correction of the dates and a third position may allow a time adjustment.
C'est pratiquement la limite des fonctions et/ou indications horaires que l'on peut régler avec une telle tige de commande dans la mesure où il est délicat de positionner la tige dans des positions intermédiaires et qu'il convient de mémoriser les positions axiales de la tige dédiées à chacune des fonctions de réglage. Les mécanismes usuels comportent un pignon coulant qui est prévu pour se déplacer axialement dans au moins deux positions distinctes pour venir en prise alternativement avec la chaîne de remontage et les différentes chaînes de correction par le biais de dispositifs d'embrayage horizontal faisant intervenir un nombre important de bascules. La cinématique des différents rouages se déplaçant parallèlement au bâti du mouvement est compliquée et peut induire des problèmes de pénétration de denture les unes dans les autres qui se traduisent par des problèmes d'arc-boutement, d'usure, et de sensations aléatoires à la tige. Il existe ainsi un risque de bloquer axialement la tige et un risque de corriger intempestivement les indications. This is practically the limit of the functions and / or time indications that can be adjusted with such a control rod in that it is difficult to position the rod in intermediate positions and that the axial positions should be memorized of the rod dedicated to each of the adjustment functions. The usual mechanisms include a sliding pinion which is provided to move axially in at least two distinct positions to engage alternately with the winding chain and the different correction chains through horizontal clutch devices involving a significant number flip-flops. The kinematics of the various cogs moving parallel to the frame of the movement is complicated and can induce problems of penetration of teeth into each other which result in problems of buttressing, wear, and random sensations in the rod. There is thus a risk of axially locking the rod and a risk of improperly correcting the indications.

Par ailleurs, l'interface qui en découle requiert une indication de la fonction sélectionnée et présente donc un impact esthétique sur la montre-bracelet dotée d'un tel mécanisme.

Ainsi, la sélection des fonctions de correction de ce mécanisme est définie par la position angulaire du porte-satellite qui est pilotée par l'organe sélecteur. Un tel dispositif permet de multiplier les fonctions de correction en jouant sur le dimensionnement et l'agencement des satellites et du mobile porte- satellite. Toutefois, celui-ci a pour inconvénient de générer un risque de satellisation des renvois correcteurs qui se traduit par un déplacement intempestif d'un ou plusieurs indicateurs lors du passage d'une fonction de correction à une autre. Par ailleurs, l'interface qui découle d'un tel mécanisme requiert plusieurs organes de commande et présente donc un impact esthétique sur la montre-bracelet doté d'un tel mécanisme. The patent application EP2367074 discloses a sequential mechanism whose selection of functions is effected by successive pressures on a selector member and the correction of the selected function is effected by the rotation of a control ring. A device clutch dedicated to the correction functions takes the form of an epicyclic gear whose planetary wheel is integral in rotation with the adjusting ring. Satellites are rotated on a planet carrier so as to mesh with one or the other of the correctors each corresponding to a specific correction chain. Thus, the selection of the correction functions of this mechanism is defined by the angular position of the satellite carrier which is controlled by the selector member. Such a device makes it possible to multiply the correction functions by playing on the sizing and arrangement of the satellites and the satellite carrier. However, it has the disadvantage of generating a risk of oratorization corrective references which results in an inadvertent movement of one or more indicators when passing from one correction function to another. Furthermore, the interface that results from such a mechanism requires several control members and therefore has an aesthetic impact on the wristwatch with such a mechanism.
La demande de brevet EP2444861 concerne également un mécanisme dont le dispositif d'embrayage est mis en œuvre par un train épicycloïdal. Celui-ci permet de sélectionner au moins deux fonctions distinctes par des pressions successives sur une tige de commande et d'actionner la fonction sélectionnée par la rotation de ladite tige. La roue planétaire du train épicycloïdal est ici solidaire en rotation de la tige de commande par le biais d'un ressort de rappel qui permet de conférer un degré de liberté entre la tige et les correcteurs et permet ainsi d'éviter a priori les risques d'arc-boutement et les risques de satellisation lors de la sélection des fonctions. En contrepartie, une telle conception induit toutefois un angle mort dans les chaînes de correction qui peut se traduire par une baisse de la vitesse de correction après sélection de la fonction considérée. Le but de l'invention est de fournir un dispositif permettant de remédier aux inconvénients mentionnés précédemment et d'améliorer les dispositifs connus de l'art antérieur. En particulier, l'invention propose un mécanisme simple permettant de multiplier le nombre de fonctions de correction à la tige et de simplifier la sélection de ces fonctions. L'invention propose aussi un dispositif de sélection permettant d'atteindre ce but. The patent application EP2444861 also relates to a mechanism whose clutch device is implemented by an epicyclic gear train. This allows at least two distinct functions to be selected by successive pressures on a control rod and to actuate the function selected by the rotation of said rod. The planetary wheel of the epicyclic train is here secured in rotation with the control rod by means of a return spring which makes it possible to confer a degree of freedom between the rod and the correctors and thus makes it possible to avoid, a priori, the risks of and the risks of orbiting during the selection of functions. In return, such a design, however, induces a dead angle in the correction chains that can result in a decrease in the correction speed after selection of the function considered. The object of the invention is to provide a device for overcoming the disadvantages mentioned above and to improve the devices known from the prior art. In particular, the invention proposes a simple mechanism for multiplying the number of correction functions at the rod and simplifying the selection of these functions. The invention also proposes a selection device making it possible to achieve this goal.

Le mécanisme de remontage et/ou de correction comprend une roue 1 , 1 ' de commande de remontage et/ou de correction en prise directe et permanente avec un organe mobile 3, 2 et avec n roues E1 , E2, E3, E1 ' n>1 , de préférence n>2. Chaque roue fait partie d'une chaîne cinématique de correction ou de remontage. Chaque chaîne cinématique comprend un embrayage D1 , D2, D3, D1 '. Au moins n-1 embrayages parmi les n embrayages sont du type vertical. Notamment, les n embrayages peuvent être du type vertical. The winding and / or correction mechanism comprises a wheel 1, 1 'of winding and / or correction control in direct and permanent engagement with a movable member 3, 2 and with n wheels E1, E2, E3, E1' n > 1, preferably n> 2. Each wheel is part of a kinematic chain correction or reassembly. Each kinematic chain comprises a clutch D1, D2, D3, D1 '. At least n-1 clutches among the n clutches are of the vertical type. In particular, the n clutches can be of the vertical type.
L'organe mobile comprend de préférence au moins un arbre, notamment une tige 3, monté mobile axialement en translation. L'axe de rotation de la roue 1 , 1 ' de correction et/ou de remontage et l'axe de translation de l'arbre sont par exemple sensiblement concourants et/ou sensiblement perpendiculaires. The movable member preferably comprises at least one shaft, in particular a rod 3, mounted axially movable in translation. The axis of rotation of the wheel 1, 1 'of correction and / or reassembly and the axis of translation of the shaft are for example substantially concurrent and / or substantially perpendicular.
L'organe mobile comprend de préférence aussi un pignon 2. La roue 1 , 1 ' de correction et/ou de remontage est en prise directe et permanente avec le pignon 2 qui est solidaire en rotation de l'arbre 3, notamment monté à carré sur l'arbre 3. Le pignon 2 est fixe en translation relativement à un bâti du mouvement et l'arbre 3 peut se déplacer relativement au pignon 2. The movable member preferably also comprises a pinion 2. The wheel 1, 1 'correction and / or reassembly is in direct and permanent engagement with the pinion 2 which is integral in rotation with the shaft 3, in particular mounted squared on the shaft 3. The pinion 2 is fixed in translation relative to a frame of the movement and the shaft 3 can move relative to the pinion 2.
Le mécanisme est doté de dispositifs d'embrayage qui sont chacun actionnés par l'arbre de façon à activer ou à désactiver l'une ou l'autre des chaînes de remontage et/ou de correction du mouvement d'horlogerie. Le mécanisme permet de mettre en place autant de dispositifs d'embrayage Di qu'il y a de chaînes de remontage et/ou de correction. Pour ce faire, ces chaînes de rouage sont agencées de façon à être en prise directe et permanente avec une unique roue de commande 1 comme représenté à la figure 1 . Dans le mode de réalisation particulier décrit sur les figures, la roue de commande 1 est liée cinématiquement à un unique pignon 2 qui est pivoté à carré sur l'arbre 3 et qui est bloqué axialement relativement à un bâti de la montre. L'indice i dans les différentes références numériques prend les valeurs entières 1 à N pour distinguer N éléments de même nature les uns des autres. Ainsi, par exemple, pour N=3, D1 , D2 et D3 désignent trois dispositifs d'embrayage vertical distincts. The mechanism is provided with clutch devices that are each actuated by the shaft to activate or deactivate one or other of the winding and / or motion correction chains. watchmaking. The mechanism makes it possible to set up as many clutch devices Di as there are winding and / or correction chains. To do this, these drive chains are arranged to be in direct and permanent engagement with a single control wheel 1 as shown in Figure 1. In the particular embodiment described in the figures, the control wheel 1 is kinematically linked to a single pinion 2 which is pivoted square on the shaft 3 and which is locked axially relative to a frame of the watch. The index i in the different numerical references takes integer values 1 to N to distinguish N elements of the same nature from each other. Thus, for example, for N = 3, D1, D2 and D3 denote three distinct vertical clutch devices.
Dans le mode de réalisation particulier représenté, il y a autant de dispositifs d'embrayage vertical Di qu'il y a de chaînes de correction des fonctions d'affichage du mouvement. Le pilotage des différentes fonctions de correction est possible grâce à un mobile 4, notamment une came de commande 4, actionné en rotation par action sur l'arbre 3, qui permet de générer N fois deux niveaux d'états 0,1 correspondant respectivement à un état de non-activation et d'activation de chacun des N embrayages verticaux. Ainsi, chaque embrayage peut être configuré dans un état activé ou embrayé ou dans un état non-activé ou débrayé. De préférence, lorsqu'un des embrayages est dans un état embrayé, les autres embrayages sont chacun dans un état débrayé. Il peut ainsi exister N combinaisons d'états où un seul embrayage vertical est activé, notamment chacune de ces N combinaisons correspond à une position angulaire du mobile 4, d'où N positions angulaires du mobile 4 correspondant aux N combinaisons. Le mobile 4 peut aussi assurer le pilotage d'un embraye horizontal comme dans le mode de réalisation représenté. Pour assurer le pilotage ou la commande des N embrayages verticaux dédiés à chacune des chaînes de correction des fonctions d'affichage du mouvement dans le mode de réalisation particulier représenté, le mobile 4 est conformé de façon à présenter N creux Ci dont les flancs Fi sont inclinés relativement au plan du bâti du mouvement, et sont chacun prévus pour permettre l'activation d'un dispositif d'embrayage spécifique comme représenté à la figure 2. Chaque dispositif d'embrayage Di est doté d'une roue d'entrée Ei qui est continuellement en prise avec la roue de commande 1 . La position de l'axe de rotation de la roue d'entrée Ei est fixe dans le plan du bâti du mouvement. Selon l'actionnement de l'arbre 3 qui détermine la position angulaire du mobile 4, cette roue d'entrée Ei est susceptible de venir en prise avec la chaîne cinématique qui lui est associée par le déplacement axial d'un arbre coulissant Ai solidaire de la roue d'entrée et qui est déplacé axialement sous l'effet d'un ressort de rappel Ri. Ainsi, les creux Ci et/ou des ouvertures et/ou des pentes inclinées relativement au plan du bâti du mouvement coopèrent par contact avec les arbres Ai des embrayages de façon à activer ou désactiver les embrayages. En effet, les embrayages verticaux comprennent chacun au moins une roue Ei mobile en translation selon son axe de rotation. Par axe de rotation d'une roue Ei, nous entendons un axe de rotation fixe par rapport à la roue Ei qui tourne autour de lui, notamment par rapport à la roue Ei et à son arbre Ai qui tournent autour de lui. In the particular embodiment shown, there are as many vertical clutch devices Di as there are correction chains of the movement display functions. The control of the various correction functions is possible thanks to a mobile 4, in particular a control cam 4, actuated in rotation by action on the shaft 3, which makes it possible to generate N times two levels of states 0.1 respectively corresponding to a state of non-activation and activation of each of the N vertical clutches. Thus, each clutch can be configured in an activated or engaged state or in a non-activated or disengaged state. Preferably, when one of the clutches is in an engaged state, the other clutches are each in a disengaged state. It can thus exist N combinations of states where a single vertical clutch is activated, in particular each of these N combinations corresponds to an angular position of the mobile 4, where N angular positions of the mobile 4 corresponding to the N combinations. The mobile 4 can also provide control of a horizontal clutch as in the embodiment shown. To control or control the N vertical clutches dedicated to each of the correction chains of the movement display functions in the particular embodiment shown, the mobile 4 is shaped so as to have N hollow Ci whose flanks Fi are inclined relative to the plane of the frame of the movement, and are each provided to enable the activation of a specific clutch device as shown in Figure 2. Each clutch device Di has an input wheel Ei which is continuously engaged with the control wheel 1. The position of the axis of rotation of the input wheel Ei is fixed in the plane of the frame of the movement. According to the actuation of the shaft 3 which determines the angular position of the mobile 4, this input wheel E 1 is capable of coming into engagement with the kinematic chain which is associated with it by the axial displacement of a sliding shaft A 1 integral with the input wheel and which is moved axially under the effect of a return spring Ri. Thus, the cavities Ci and / or openings and / or slopes inclined relative to the plane of the frame of the movement cooperate by contact with the shafts Ai clutches so as to activate or deactivate the clutches. Indeed, the vertical clutches each comprise at least one wheel Ei movable in translation along its axis of rotation. By axis of rotation of a wheel Ei, we mean a fixed axis of rotation relative to the wheel Ei which rotates around it, in particular with respect to the wheel Ei and its shaft Ai which revolve around it.
Le mode de réalisation du mouvement comporte ici trois chaînes de correction, à savoir une chaîne de correction des quantièmes CH1 , une chaîne de correction d'une deuxième indication calendaire CH2, ainsi qu'une chaîne de mise à l'heure de la pièce d'horlogerie CH3. Le mobile 4 est par exemple pivoté coaxialement à la roue de commande 1 . Dans le mode de réalisation décrit, une chaîne de remontage conventionnelle CH1 ' est embrayée par une roue E1 ' qui est également en prise directe et permanente avec la roue de commande 1 par une roue de commande auxiliaire 1 ' qui lui est solidaire, et qui est pivotée sur le mobile 4 de façon à permettre son déplacement dans le plan du bâti du mouvement comme représenté sur la figure 3. Ainsi, dans le mode de réalisation, la chaîne de remontage peut être activée par le biais d'un embrayage horizontal D1 ' piloté par le mobile 4. Les différentes chaînes de rouage sont ainsi activées par la rotation du mobile 4, et sont entraînées en rotation par une même roue de commande 1 . L'activation de chaque chaîne de correction est déterminée par une position angulaire distincte du mobile 4. The embodiment of the movement here comprises three correction chains, namely a calendar date correction chain CH1, a correction chain of a second calendar indication CH2, as well as a time-setting chain of the document room. CH3 watchmaking. The mobile 4 is for example rotated coaxially with the control wheel 1. In the embodiment described, a conventional winding chain CH1 'is engaged by a wheel E1' which is also in direct and permanent contact with the control wheel 1 by an auxiliary control wheel 1 'which is integral therewith, and which is pivoted on the mobile 4 so as to allow its movement in the plane of the frame of the movement as shown in Figure 3. Thus, in the embodiment, the winding chain can be activated by means of a horizontal clutch D1 4. The various chains of trains are thus activated by the rotation of the mobile 4, and are rotated by the same control wheel 1. The activation of each correction chain is determined by an angular position distinct from the mobile 4.
Ainsi, dans le mode de réalisation particulier qui est décrit, n roues, notamment quatre roues, E1 , E2, E3, E1 ' sont en prise directe et permanente avec la roue de commande 1 , parmi lesquelles N roues, notamment trois roues, E1 , E2, E3 font respectivement partie d'une chaîne cinématique, en particulier une chaîne de correction CH1 , CH2, CH3 comprenant chacune un embrayage D1 , D2, D3 de type vertical. Dans ce mode de réalisation particulier, une roue E1 ' fait partie d'une chaîne cinématique, notamment une chaîne de remontage CH1 ', comprenant un embrayage D1 ' de type horizontal. Il s'ensuit que dans ce mode de réalisation particulier, N est égal à n-1 . Alternativement, N peut être égal à n si toutes les roues qui sont en prise directe et permanente avec la roue de commande font partie de chaînes cinématiques qui sont toutes activées par un embrayage de type vertical. Autrement dit, la roue de commande est en prise directe et permanente avec n roues E1 , E2, E3, E1 ', chaque roue faisant partie d'une chaîne cinématique de correction ou de remontage, chaque chaîne cinématique comprenant un embrayage D1 , D2, D3, D1 ', au moins n-1 embrayages étant de type vertical. Avantageusement, les roues 1 et 1 ' sont disposées de part et d'autre du bâti du mouvement. Avantageusement encore, le mobile 4 est pivoté entre ces deux éléments comme représenté à la figure 4. Thus, in the particular embodiment described, n wheels, including four wheels, E1, E2, E3, E1 'are in direct and permanent engagement with the control wheel 1, including N wheels, including three wheels, E1 , E2, E3 are respectively part of a kinematic chain, in particular a correction chain CH1, CH2, CH3 each comprising a clutch D1, D2, D3 of vertical type. In this particular embodiment, a wheel E1 'is part of a kinematic chain, in particular a winding chain CH1', comprising a clutch D1 'of horizontal type. It follows that in this particular embodiment, N is equal to n-1. Alternatively, N may be equal to n if all the wheels which are in direct and permanent contact with the control wheel are part of kinematic chains which are all activated by a vertical type clutch. In other words, the control wheel is in direct and permanent engagement with n wheels E1, E2, E3, E1 ', each wheel forming part of a kinematic correction or reassembly chain, each kinematic chain comprising a clutch D1, D2, D3, D1 ', at least n-1 clutches being of vertical type. Advantageously, the wheels 1 and 1 'are disposed on either side of the frame of the movement. Advantageously, the mobile 4 is pivoted between these two elements as shown in FIG.
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, le mobile 4 est déplacé en rotation sous l'effet de la translation de l'arbre 3. Plus particulièrement, la traction axiale de l'arbre permet de sélectionner séquentiellement les fonctions de correction de la pièce d'horlogerie, tandis qu'une pression axiale sur cet arbre permet de sélectionner la fonction de remontage. La pression axiale permet aussi, simultanément, de réinitialiser la séquence de sélection des fonctions de correction. Ainsi, le dispositif est agencé de sorte qu'une action de translation de l'arbre, dans le sens d'appui sur l'arbre, provoque l'activation de la fonction de remontage et agencé de sorte qu'une action de translation de l'arbre, dans le sens de traction de l'arbre, provoque l'activation d'une fonction de correction. In the embodiment shown, the mobile 4 is moved in rotation under the effect of the translation of the shaft 3. More particularly, the axial traction of the shaft makes it possible to sequentially select the correction functions of the workpiece. watchmaking, while axial pressure on this shaft makes it possible to select the winding function. The axial pressure also makes it possible, simultaneously, to reset the selection sequence of the correction functions. Thus, the device is arranged so that an action of translation of the shaft, in the direction of bearing on the shaft, causes the activation of the winding function and arranged so that a translation action of the shaft, in the direction of traction of the shaft, causes the activation of a correction function.
Avantageusement, à l'instar des mécanismes conventionnels à deux ou trois positions, une telle interface permet le remontage de la montre après dévissage ou avant revissage de la couronne de tige. Afin de permettre ces diverses sélections, le mécanisme comprend un dispositif 400 de sélection d'une fonction horlogère parmi par exemple une fonction de remontage et m fonctions de correction, en particulier trois fonctions de correction. Advantageously, like conventional mechanisms with two or three positions, such an interface allows the reassembly of the watch after unscrewing or before screwing the stem crown. In order to allow these various selections, the mechanism comprises a device 400 for selecting a watch function from, for example, a winding function and m correction functions, in particular three correction functions.
Le dispositif de sélection comprend un organe de commande 3 tel que l'arbre, notamment la tige. Le dispositif est donc apte à sélectionner la fonction de remontage par déplacement de l'organe de commande dans un premier sens et à sélectionner séquentiellement une fonction parmi m fonctions de correction par déplacement de l'organe de commande dans un deuxième sens. Le dispositif de sélection comprend l'arbre 3 et le mobile 4 monté à rotation sur le bâti. La position du mobile 4 est déterminée par l'arbre et par la succession de déplacements de l'arbre. Comme vu précédemment, la position du mobile détermine l'état d'activation ou de non-activation des embrayages. En particulier, le sens de rotation du mobile est déterminé par le sens de translation de l'arbre. La rotation du mobile 4 est bidirectionnelle. Pour ce faire, le dispositif de sélection comprend l'arbre 3 actionnant le mobile 4 par le biais d'un élément 90 d'entraînement séquentiel du mobile selon un premier sens. The selection device comprises a control member 3 such as the shaft, in particular the rod. The device is therefore able to select the winding function by moving the control member in a first direction and to sequentially select a function among m correction functions by displacement of the control member in a second direction. The selection device comprises the shaft 3 and the mobile 4 mounted to rotate on the frame. The position of the mobile 4 is determined by the tree and the succession of displacements of the tree. As seen above, the position of the mobile determines the state of activation or non-activation of the clutches. In particular, the direction of rotation of the mobile is determined by the direction of translation of the shaft. The rotation of the mobile 4 is bidirectional. To do this, the selection device comprises the shaft 3 actuating the mobile 4 through a member 90 of sequential drive of the mobile in a first direction.
Comme représenté sur la figure 5, l'élément 90 d'entraînement comprend une première bascule 5, notamment une tirette, une deuxième bascule 6 et une troisième bascule 7, notamment une troisième bascule ou un doigt 7 pivoté sur la deuxième bascule. As shown in FIG. 5, the drive element 90 comprises a first flip-flop 5, in particular a pull-tab, a second flip-flop 6 and a third flip-flop 7, in particular a third flip-flop or a finger 7 pivoted on the second flip-flop.
Le dispositif comprend un premier ressort de rappel R5 agencé de sorte à rappeler la première bascule et l'organe de commande dans une position de repos. Ainsi, l'arbre et la première bascule sont monostables. L'arbre et la première bascule sont aussi chacun déplaçables de part et d'autre des positions de repos. Le dispositif comprend encore un deuxième ressort de rappel R7 agencé de sorte à rappeler la troisième bascule, notamment un doigt, dans une position de repos. The device comprises a first return spring R5 arranged to recall the first rocker and the control member in a rest position. Thus, the tree and the first rocker are monostable. The shaft and the first rocker are each movable on both sides of the rest positions. The device further comprises a second return spring R7 arranged to recall the third latch, including a finger, in a rest position.
La première bascule est pivotée autour d'un axe P5 et la troisième bascule est pivotée autour d'un axe P7 sur la deuxième bascule. Les ressorts R5 et R7 permettent respectivement de rappeler la première bascule et la troisième bascule dans des positions de repos. The first flip-flop is pivoted about an axis P5 and the third flip-flop is pivoted about an axis P7 on the second flip-flop. The R5 and R7 springs respectively recall the first rocker and the third rocker in rest positions.
L'arbre 3 est ainsi positionné de manière stable par le ressort de tirette R5 de façon à permettre l'actionnement de la fonction de remontage ou de correction sélectionnée par la rotation du mobile 4. Dans cette configuration, la position angulaire du mobile 4 est définie par un cliquet d'indexation 8. Le cliquet est par exemple fabriqué d'un seul tenant avec un ressort de rappel R8. La figure 6 illustre une telle configuration, la fonction sélectionnée étant celle du remontage du mouvement. Un bec du cliquet 8 indexe ici une première dent 40a du mobile 4. Ainsi, le dispositif comprend un cliquet 8 d'indexation en position du mobile 4. Le mobile 4 comprend donc une denture 40 agencée de sorte à coopérer avec l'élément d'entraînement séquentiel, notamment avec la troisième bascule. Le cliquet 8 d'indexation est en outre agencé pour coopérer avec la deuxième bascule, notamment agencé de sorte qu'une action de la deuxième bascule sur le cliquet désactive le cliquet. The shaft 3 is thus positioned stably by the pull rod spring R5 so as to allow the actuation of the winding or correction function selected by the rotation of the mobile 4. In this configuration, the angular position of the mobile 4 is defined by an indexing pawl 8. The pawl is for example manufactured in one piece with a return spring R8. FIG. 6 illustrates such a configuration, the function selected being that of reassembly of the movement. A click of the pawl 8 here indexes a first tooth 40a of the mobile 4. Thus, the device comprises a pawl 8 of indexing in the position of the mobile 4. The mobile 4 therefore comprises a toothing 40 arranged to cooperate with the element d sequential training, especially with the third flip-flop. The pawl 8 indexing is further arranged to cooperate with the second latch, in particular arranged so that an action of the second latch on the pawl disables the pawl.
Une traction sur la couronne 31 solidaire de l'arbre 3 induit la rotation de la première bascule 5 autour du pivot P5 par le biais de moyens conventionnels, et provoque ainsi la rotation de la deuxième bascule 6 autour d'un pivot P6 sous l'effet d'une goupille de tirette G5 qui est prévue pour coopérer avec un chemin C6 de bascule 6 comme représenté à la figure 7. Le doigt 7 est ainsi entraîné sur la bascule 6 afin que son bec puisse coopérer avec une dent 40e du mobile 4 de manière à ce que celle-ci puisse être entraînée en pivotement dans un premier sens de rotation sur un pas angulaire de la denture 40, et permettre ainsi par exemple le débrayage de la chaîne de remontage et l'embrayage de la fonction de correction des quantièmes comme représenté à la figure 8. Le relâchement de la couronne de tige provoque le repositionnement axial de l'arbre 3 sous l'effet du ressort de tirette R5. Lors de ce repositionnement les première et deuxième bascules se repositionnent également dans leur position de repos. Lors de ce repositionnement de la deuxième bascule, le doigt s'escamote sous l'action d'une dent du mobile 4. Ceci est possible par déformation élastique du ressort R7. La figure 8 illustre alors le mécanisme en position de sélection de correction des quantièmes. Le bec du cliquet 8 indexe ici une deuxième dent 40b du mobile 4. A traction on the ring 31 secured to the shaft 3 induces the rotation of the first rocker 5 around the pivot P5 by conventional means, and thus causes the rotation of the second rocker 6 around a pivot P6 under the effect of a pull pin G5 which is provided to cooperate with a path C6 of flip-flop 6 as shown in Figure 7. The finger 7 is thus driven on the rocker 6 so that its spout can cooperate with a tooth 40 of the mobile 4 so that it can be pivoted in a first direction of rotation on an angular pitch of the toothing 40, and thus allow for example the disengagement of the winding chain and the clutch of the correction function of the as shown in Figure 8. The release of the rod ring causes the axial repositioning of the shaft 3 under the effect of the pull spring R5. During this repositioning the first and second latches are also repositioned in their rest position. During this repositioning of the second flip-flop, the finger retracts under the action of a tooth of the mobile 4. This is possible by elastic deformation of the spring R7. FIG. 8 then illustrates the mechanism in the date correction selection position. The beak of the pawl 8 here indexes a second tooth 40b of the mobile 4.
Dans cette configuration comme représenté sur la figure 9, l'extrémité EA1 de l'arbre A1 se situe dans le creux C1 du mobile 4 sous l'action du ressort de rappel R1 . De cette façon, l'engrènement de la roue E1 avec le mobile correcteur des quantièmes 10, notamment la roue 10' du mobile correcteur des quantièmes 10, est établi. In this configuration as shown in Figure 9, the end EA1 of the shaft A1 is in the hollow C1 of the mobile 4 under the action of the return spring R1. In this way, the meshing of the wheel E1 with the corrective mobile of the dates 10, in particular the wheel 10 'of the mobile corrector of the dates 10, is established.
Dans cette même configuration, les extrémités respectives EA2 et EA3 des arbres A2 et A3 sont en appui à encontre de la surface S4 du mobile 4. Ainsi, les deux autres chaînes de correction sont débrayées. A titre d'exemple, la figure 10 illustre la chaîne de mise à l'heure débrayée. On remarque que la roue E3 est ici hors de portée du mobile de minuterie 1 1 , notamment de la roue de minuterie 1 1 '. Ainsi, les arbres agissent comme des suiveurs rappelés par des ressorts contre une surface du mobile, soit contre une surface de came. In the same configuration, the respective ends EA2 and EA3 of the shafts A2 and A3 bear against the surface S4 of the mobile 4. Thus, the other two correction chains are disengaged. By way of example, FIG. 10 illustrates the disengaged time-setting chain. Note that the wheel E3 is here out of reach of the mobile timer 1 1, including the timer wheel 1 1 '. Thus, the shafts act as followers biased by springs against a surface of the mobile, or against a cam surface.
De manière similaire à ce qui a été vu précédemment, une nouvelle traction sur l'arbre 3 induit le pivotement du mobile 4 dans un premier sens de rotation sur un pas angulaire de la denture 40, et permet ainsi le débrayage de la chaîne de correction des quantièmes et l'embrayage de la chaîne de correction d'une deuxième indication calendaire. La figure 1 1 illustre la chaîne de correction des quantièmes une fois celle-ci débrayée sous l'actionnement des flancs F1 du creux C1 du mobile 4 qui ont repositionné l'extrémité EA1 de l'arbre A1 sur la surface S4 du mobile 4 à encontre de l'action du ressort R1 . De manière similaire à ce qui a été vu précédemment, une nouvelle traction sur l'arbre induit le pivotement du mobile 4 dans un premier sens de rotation sur un pas angulaire de la denture 40, et permet ainsi le débrayage de la chaîne de correction d'une deuxième indication calendaire et l'embrayage de la chaîne de mise à l'heure comme représenté sur la figure 12. Dans cette configuration, l'extrémité EA3 de l'arbre A3 se situe dans le creux C3 du mobile 4 sous l'actionnement du ressort de rappel R3. De cette façon, l'engrènement de la roue E3 avec le mobile de minuterie 1 1 , notamment la roue de minuterie 1 1 ' du mobile, est établi. In a manner similar to what has been seen above, a new traction on the shaft 3 induces the pivoting of the mobile 4 in a first direction of rotation on an angular pitch of the toothing 40, and thus allows the release of the correction chain. dates and the clutch of the correction chain of a second calendar indication. FIG. 11 shows the calendar correction chain once this disengaged under the actuation of the flanks F1 of the hollow C1 of the mobile 4 which repositioned the end EA1 of the shaft A1 on the surface S4 of the mobile 4 against the action of the spring R1. In a manner similar to what has been seen above, a new traction on the shaft induces the pivoting of the mobile 4 in a first direction of rotation on an angular pitch of the toothing 40, and thus allows the release of the correction chain. a second calendar indication and the clutch of the time-setting chain as shown in FIG. 12. In this configuration, the end EA3 of the shaft A3 is located in the hollow C3 of the mobile 4 under the actuation of the return spring R3. In this way, the meshing of the wheel E3 with the mobile timer 1 1, including the timer wheel 1 1 'of the mobile, is established.
Dans le mode de réalisation qui est décrit, une pression axiale sur l'arbre active la chaîne de remontage du mouvement, et ce quelle que soit la fonction de correction sélectionnée précédemment. A cet effet, la rotation du mobile 4 dans le premier sens de rotation induit l'armage d'un ressort de rappel R4 dont une première extrémité E1 R4 est fixée au bâti du mouvement et une deuxième extrémité E2R4 est fixée au mobile 4 comme représenté sur la figure 5. Le déverrouillage angulaire du mobile 4 provoque donc le pivotement du mobile 4 dans un deuxième sens de rotation sous l'effet du ressort de rappel R4, et ce jusqu'à ce que le mobile 4 retrouve la position angulaire qu'il occupe lorsque la chaîne de remontage du mouvement est embrayée. Ainsi, l'élément d'entraînement séquentiel, notamment le doigt 7 et le cliquet 8, est prévu pour s'escamoter sous l'effet d'une pression axiale exercée sur l'arbre. Pour ce faire, le cliquet 8 est prévu pour être escamoté sous l'effet de la deuxième bascule 6 par la coopération des extrémités respectives E8 et E6. Ce dernier revient en position dans la denture 40 du mobile 4 sous l'actionnement de son ressort de rappel R8. In the embodiment which is described, an axial pressure on the shaft activates the winding chain of the movement, regardless of the previously selected correction function. For this purpose, the rotation of the mobile 4 in the first direction of rotation induces the arming of a return spring R4, a first end E1 R4 is fixed to the frame of the movement and a second end E2R4 is fixed to the mobile 4 as shown in FIG. 5. The angular unlocking of the mobile 4 therefore causes the mobile 4 to pivot in a second direction of rotation under the effect of the return spring R4, and until the mobile 4 returns to the angular position that it occupies when the winding chain of the movement is engaged. Thus, the sequential drive element, in particular the finger 7 and the pawl 8, is provided to retract under the effect of axial pressure exerted on the shaft. To do this, the pawl 8 is designed to be retracted under the effect of the second latch 6 by the cooperation of the respective ends E8 and E6. The latter returns in position in the toothing 40 of the mobile 4 under the actuation of its return spring R8.
A titre d'exemple, les figures 13 à 15 illustrent une séquence de passage de la fonction de mise à l'heure à la fonction de remontage sous l'effet d'une pression exercée sur la couronne de remontoir. By way of example, FIGS. 13 to 15 illustrate a sequence of passage of the time-setting function to the winding function under the effect of a pressure exerted on the winding crown.
Dans une variante de réalisation alternative, le mobile 4 peut par exemple être mis en œuvre par une tirette dotée de creux Ci qui pourra être entraînée en pivotement par un dispositif de sélection tel que celui précédemment décrit ou par une tige de commande conventionnelle à deux, trois, ou quatre positions. Alternativement encore, le mobile 4 peut également être entraîné en pivotement sous l'effet d'un organe de sélection qui peut être différent ou non de l'organe qui permet d'actionner les fonctions de remontage et/ou de correction, comme par exemple une lunette ou une deuxième tige de sélection. In an alternative embodiment, the mobile 4 may for example be implemented by a puller with cavities Ci which may be pivotally driven by a selection device such as that described above or by a conventional control rod two, three, or four positions. Alternatively again, the mobile 4 may also be pivoted under the effect of a selection member which may or may not be different from the member which makes it possible to actuate the reassembly and / or correction functions, for example a bezel or a second selection rod.
L'architecture du mécanisme et du dispositif de sélection permet de simplifier la construction des mécanismes usuels tout en permettant de multiplier le nombre de fonctions, notamment de fonctions de correction, à la tige et de simplifier la sélection de ces fonctions. The architecture of the mechanism and the selection device simplifies the construction of the usual mechanisms while allowing to multiply the number of functions, including correction functions, to the rod and simplify the selection of these functions.
Le mécanisme et le dispositif de sélection sont notamment basés sur la mise en œuvre de dispositifs d'embrayage vertical de façon à éviter les défauts de fonctionnement des mécanismes connus de l'état de l'art. Leur conception permet par ailleurs d'aboutir à la mise en œuvre d'une interface particulièrement simple quel que soit le nombre d'indications à corriger et/ou de fonctions à actionner. Préférentiellement, la sélection de l'une ou l'autre de ces fonctions s'effectue par des tractions ou pressions successives sur une tige de commande et l'actionnement de la fonction sélectionnée s'effectue par la rotation de ladite tige. Dans ce document, les nombres n, N et m peuvent être indépendants les uns des autres. Par « fonction de correction », nous entendons toute fonction de réglage d'une fonction horlogère comme par exemple une indication horlogère, notamment une indication dérivée de l'heure, que le réglage s'effectue de façon unidirectionnelle ou bidirectionnelle. Un premier élément peut être en prise directe et permanente avec un deuxième élément si le premier élément est en contact avec le deuxième élément. Un premier élément peut également être en prise directe et permanente avec un deuxième élément par l'intermédiaire d'un troisième élément fixé au premier élément, qui est en contact avec le deuxième élément. The mechanism and the selection device are in particular based on the implementation of vertical clutch devices so as to avoid malfunctions of known mechanisms of the state of the art. Their design also leads to the implementation of a particularly simple interface regardless of the number of indications to correct and / or functions to operate. Preferably, the selection of one or the other of these functions is performed by successive pulls or pressures on a control rod and the actuation of the selected function is effected by the rotation of said rod. In this document, the numbers n, N and m can be independent of each other. By "correction function" we mean any function of setting a watchmaking function such as a watchmaking indication, in particular an indication derived from the time, whether the setting is unidirectional or bidirectional. A first element can be in direct and permanent contact with a second element if the first element is in contact with the second element. A first element can also be in direct and permanent engagement with a second element via a third element attached to the first element, which is in contact with the second element.
Ainsi, dans le mode de réalisation des figures 9 à 12, les roues de commande 1 et 1 ' sont fixées l'une à l'autre et la roue de commande 1 ' est donc en prise directe et permanente non seulement avec la roue E1 ', mais aussi en prise directe et permanente avec l'organe mobile 2 et avec les roues E1 , E2, E3. Toutefois, la roue de commande 1 ' n'est en contact ni avec l'organe mobile 2, ni avec les roues E1 , E2, E3, alors que la roue de commande 1 est en contact avec l'organe mobile 2 et avec les roues E1 , E2, E3. Thus, in the embodiment of FIGS. 9 to 12, the control wheels 1 and 1 'are fixed to each other and the control wheel 1' is therefore in direct and permanent contact not only with the wheel E1 ', but also in direct and permanent engagement with the movable member 2 and with the wheels E1, E2, E3. However, the control wheel 1 'is in contact neither with the movable member 2 nor with the wheels E1, E2, E3, while the control wheel 1 is in contact with the movable member 2 and with the wheels E1, E2, E3.
De préférence, dans les différents modes de réalisation, l'organe de commande présente une seule et unique position stable, c'est-à-dire qu'il est monostable. De préférence encore, dans les différents modes de réalisation, l'organe de commande est agencé de sorte à sélectionner la fonction de remontage par déplacement de l'organe de commande dans un premier sens, en particulier en translation, et à sélectionner au moins deux fonctions de correction par déplacement de l'organe de commande dans un deuxième sens, en particulier en translation, notamment un deuxième sens distinct du premier sens, voire opposé au premier sens. Preferably, in the various embodiments, the control member has a single stable position, that is to say it is monostable. More preferably, in the various embodiments, the control member is arranged so as to select the winding function by moving the control member in a first direction, in particular in translation, and to select at least two functions of correction by displacement of the control member in a second direction, in particular in translation, in particular a second direction distinct from the first direction, or even opposed to the first direction.
Dans tout ce document, par « sélection séquentielle de fonctions », il est de préférence entendu que les différentes fonctions sont sélectionnées successivement selon un ordre préétabli, en particulier en fonction du sens de déplacement de l'organe de commande. Cet ordre n'est pas modifiable pour un sens de déplacement donné de l'organe de commande. Ainsi, dans une sélection séquentielle de trois fonctions A, B et C, si l'ordre de sélection séquentielle des fonctions est : A, B, C, alors si la fonction A est initialement sélectionnée, une action de modification de sélection, en particulier par un deuxième sens de déplacement de l'organe de commande, ne peut entraîner que la sélection de la fonction B ; Throughout this document, by "sequential selection of functions", it is preferably understood that the different functions are successively selected according to a predetermined order, in particular as a function of the direction of movement of the control member. This order can not be modified for a given direction of movement of the control member. Thus, in a sequential selection of three functions A, B and C, if the sequential selection order of the functions is: A, B, C, then if the function A is initially selected, a selection modification action, in particular by a second direction of movement of the control member, can only result in the selection of the function B;
si la fonction B est initialement sélectionnée, une action de modification de sélection, en particulier par un deuxième sens de déplacement de l'organe de commande, ne peut entraîner que la sélection de la fonction C.  if the function B is initially selected, a selection modification action, in particular by a second direction of movement of the control member, can only result in the selection of the function C.
Par ailleurs, que la fonction A, B ou C soit initialement sélectionnée, une action de déplacement de l'organe de commande dans un premier sens, entraîne la sélection d'une fonction D. Comme vu précédemment, le passage de sélection d'une fonction à la fonction suivante est réalisé par action de l'utilisateur sur l'organe de commande, notamment par déplacement de l'organe de commande selon le deuxième sens, en particulier par déplacement en translation de l'organe de commande. Ce déplacement est de préférence un déplacement éloignant l'organe de commande de sa position stable vers laquelle l'organe de commande est rappelé. Moreover, whether the function A, B or C is initially selected, an action of displacement of the control member in a first direction results in the selection of a function D. As seen previously, the selection passage of a function to the following function is achieved by action of the user on the control member, in particular by displacement of the control member in the second direction, in particular by translational movement of the control member. This displacement is preferably a movement away from the control member from its stable position towards which the control member is recalled.
