Definitions
- the present invention relates to the technical field of automatic winding devices. More specifically, the invention relates to a device for raising a mainspring, for example a timepiece, by means of the ambient light energy by means of a photovoltaic cell.
- Watch movements require motor means to provide energy to a set of mechanisms for providing at least one time indication.
- the invention relates to self-winding watch movements using an oscillating mass.
- the oscillating mass may, depending on the mechanism with which it is associated, either arm the spring using energy that the mass produces only in one direction of rotation, or in both directions of rotation.
- the oscillating mass is rotatably mounted on an axis with an unbalance.
- this oscillating mass moves in a first direction of rotation, said arming direction, it drives a gear train that arms a barrel spring.
- this oscillating mass no longer acts on the transmission train of the spring, it is free in rotation.
- the mass returns to its equilibrium point thanks to the unbalance after several oscillations which allowed him to arm the spring each time it moved in the direction of the arming.
- the movement of the arm of the watch wearer can cause rotation in one or the other direction of rotation of the mass so as to recover the energy.
- the invention particularly aims to overcome the various disadvantages of these known techniques.
- an object of the invention is to provide an automatic winding device that reduces the torque required to raise the mainspring.
- Another object of the invention is to wind the watch when it is not worn and thus keep it in operation, as well as to maintain the function of the oscillating mass when it is worn.
- Yet another object of the invention is to provide a "plug-and-play" device, the invention making it possible to replace the oscillating mass of an existing movement without major changes.
- the electrical energy storage unit, the control circuit and the drive means are preferably integrated in the oscillating mass.
- the invention also relates and in particular all timepieces according to the invention.
- FIG. figure 1 An exemplary embodiment of a watch according to the invention will be described in the context of a particularly advantageous application shown in FIG. figure 1 .
- the winding device 1 is associated with a conventional mechanical watch movement, the assembly forming an automatic watch in which the winding energy, instead of or in addition to being produced by the movements of the wearer's arm, is provided by the ambient light.
- the watch will be reassembled, when worn or not, as long as it receives light energy.
- the winding device 1 uses, for transforming the energy of the natural or artificial ambient light into electrical energy, a photovoltaic cell 3, the cell being able to be placed on the oscillating mass 2 of the watch so as to receive light when the watch is not worn or dial side when worn, the skilled person could also consider a combination of both.
- the photovoltaic cell 3 may comprise a plurality of elementary cells, for example of the heterojunction type, connected in series and / or in parallel to supply current. This current is likely to vary in large proportions, depending on whether the watch is in dim light or in direct sunlight.
- An electrical energy storage unit 4 is connected to the photovoltaic cell 3 in order to store the energy produced by this cell.
- the electrical energy storage unit 4 may be in the form of a rechargeable battery, a supercapacitor, or in the form of a simple ceramic capacitor or an inductor.
- the photovoltaic cell 3 and the electrical energy storage unit 4 are then connected to the control circuit 5, which supplies drive pulses to drive means 6 at its output.
- the drive means 6 comprise a brushless micromotor, or a Lavet stepper motor well known in the watch industry, or an axial flow motor for example, or an engine. of piezoelectric type, the micromotor comprising a transmission shaft at the end of which is mounted a pinion 61 arranged to cooperate with a toothed ring 60, or a toothed sector, formed in the watch or assembled on the latter.
- the micromotor when the micromotor is active, it moves the oscillating mass 2 about the axis A, which has the effect of raising the mainspring by means of a gear train 7 commonly used in mechanical watches with automatic winding.
- a gear train 7 commonly used in mechanical watches with automatic winding.
- the drive means 6 comprise a magnetic coupling between a wheel 62, composed of magnets or a monobloc magnet, driven by the micromotor and a ferromagnetic wheel 63 secured to the watch, the magnets of the wheel 62 being attracted by the notches of the toothed wheel 63 which causes the oscillating mass 2 without contact.
- the force of the magnetic coupling is chosen so as to drive the oscillating mass 2 to a certain torque lower than the maximum torque of the mainspring. This avoids stressing the spring, and let the oscillating mass 2 do its work of reassembly to the worn. In addition, the absence of contact avoids significant stress on the gear teeth in case of shock due to the high inertia of the oscillating mass 2.
- the current supplied by the photovoltaic cell 3 has the effect of charging the electrical storage unit 4 and increasing its voltage or current.
- the circuit 5 behaves like a switch, connecting the terminals of the storage unit 4 at the terminals of the drive means 6 during a predetermined time interval.
- the storage unit 4 then provides a well defined drive pulse to the drive means 6 to advance one or more steps.
- the transmission can be controlled according to the position of the watch.
- the effect of the gravity is negligible and the oscillating weight 2 is rotated continuously.
- the oscillating mass 2 is raised by a certain angle, for example at 90 °, before being released so that the mass 2 oscillates under the effect of gravity until it returns to equilibrium. Once the equilibrium position is reached, the cycle starts again.
- the micromotor can perform about twenty-five steps per second.
- the watch has deliberately shaded areas so as to deprive the photovoltaic cell 3 of light periodically, and thus generate pulses necessary for feeding the training means 6.
- Such variant would for example make it possible to overcome the electronic circuit 5.
- the electronic circuit 5 comprises means for measuring the quantity of energy supplied and / or the current profile necessary to supply the motor and / or the number of steps taken, in order to detect the moment or the barrel is completely reassembled. This moment detected, the electronic circuit 5 stops sending pulses to the micromotor so as not to wear the mainspring.
- the watch movement which is associated with the winding device 1 comprises, for its part, a mainspring, a gear driven by the spring, an oscillator oscillated by the gear train to stabilize the rotation of the different moving parts, and a display of the time controlled by this wheel.
- the barrel spring is finally coupled to the gear train 7 to be armed at each step performed by the drive means 6.
- the movement and the winding device thus constitute the heart of an autonomous automatic watch not requiring for operate only a sufficient ambient light, typically about 150/200 Lux.
- the oscillating mass 2 comprises coils for forming itself the rotor of an engine.
- the stator is formed by a ring comprising several magnets, which allows the oscillating mass 2 to move itself without a motor, the electronic circuit 5 feeding the coils to create a magnetic field.
