ARRIERE-PLAN TECHNOLOGIQUEBACKGROUND

Un mouvement d'horlogerie mécanique comprend généralement un système à barillet entraînant au moins une roue en sortie de charge et une roue en sortie de décharge reliées respectivement à une roue de charge et à une roue de décharge d'un différentiel. Un ensemble de roues en liaison à une roue intermédiaire du différentiel contrôle un affichage de réserve de marche, mais aucun élément du mouvement n'est prévu pour une opération de blocage du mouvement quand la réserve de marche est à zéro.A mechanical watchmaking movement generally comprises a barrel system driving at least one wheel at the load outlet and a wheel at the discharge outlet respectively connected to a load wheel and a discharge wheel of a differential. A set of wheels in connection with an intermediate wheel of the differential controls a power-reserve display, but no movement element is provided for a movement-locking operation when the power-reserve is at zero.

Le brevet EP 0 568 499 B1 décrit un dispositif indicateur de réserve de marche pour une montre mécanique. Le dispositif indicateur comprend au moins une roue-étoile avec un organe indicateur, qui est entraînée en rotation lors de la charge ou la décharge du barillet. L'organe indicateur permet d'afficher la réserve de marche de la montre. Cependant rien n'est prévu pour assurer un blocage du mouvement, quand la réserve de marche s'approche de zéro.The patent EP 0 568 499 B1 discloses a power reserve indicator device for a mechanical watch. The indicator device comprises at least one star wheel with an indicator member, which is rotated during loading or unloading of the barrel. The indicator organ makes it possible to display the power reserve of the watch. However nothing is planned to ensure a blocking of the movement, when the power reserve approaches zero.

Le brevet CH 698 752 B1 décrit une pièce d'horlogerie, qui comprend un mécanisme d'indication de la réserve de marche. Elle comprend deux barillets en regard l'un de l'autre et reliés par un arbre commun, qui contrôle le mécanisme d'affichage de la réserve de marche.

It comprises two barrels facing each other and connected by a common tree, which controls the display mechanism of the power reserve. However nothing is planned to ensure a blocking of the movement, when the power reserve approaches zero.

RESUME DE L'INVENTIONSUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

L'invention a donc pour but principal de pallier les inconvénients de l'état de la technique en proposant un mouvement d'horlogerie mécanique muni de moyens de détection de réserve de marche et capable de bloquer le fonctionnement du mouvement, quand la réserve de marche est proche de zéro.The main purpose of the invention is therefore to overcome the drawbacks of the state of the art by proposing a mechanical clockwork movement provided with power reserve detection means and capable of blocking the operation of the movement when the power reserve is present. is close to zero.

A cet effet, la présente invention concerne un mouvement d'horlogerie mécanique muni de moyens de détection de réserve de marche, qui comprend les caractéristiques de la revendication indépendante 1.For this purpose, the present invention relates to a mechanical clockwork movement provided with power reserve detection means, which comprises the characteristics of the independent claim 1.

Des formes particulières d'exécution du mouvement d'horlogerie mécanique sont définies dans les revendications dépendantes 2 à 12.Particular embodiments of the mechanical clockwork are defined in the dependent claims 2 to 12.

Un avantage du mouvement d'horlogerie mécanique réside dans le fait qu'il est possible d'utiliser un mobile de blocage, qui entraîne l'indicateur de réserve de marche pour opérer un blocage du mouvement au moyen d'un élément de blocage, qui peut être un doigt disposé sur l'axe du mobile. Le mobile de blocage est entraîné par une roue intermédiaire du différentiel. De préférence le doigt vient en contact de la roue de décharge du différentiel, lorsque la réserve de marche est à zéro. Même avec l'indication de la réserve de marche à zéro, le barillet du système à barillet est encore suffisamment chargé pour faire fonctionner le mouvement d'horlogerie près de 2 heures de temps.An advantage of the mechanical clockwork movement is that it is possible to use a locking wheel, which causes the power reserve indicator to block the movement by means of a locking element, which can be a finger disposed on the axis of the mobile. The locking wheel is driven by an intermediate wheel of the differential. Preferably the finger comes into contact with the differential discharge wheel, when the power reserve is zero. Even with the indication of the power reserve at zero, the barrel of the barrel system is still sufficiently loaded to operate the watch movement nearly 2 hours of time.

DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE DE L'INVENTIONDETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Dans la description suivante, tous les composants d'un mouvement d'horlogerie mécanique muni de moyens de détection de réserve de marche, qui sont bien connus d'un homme du métier dans ce domaine technique ne sont relatés que de manière simplifiée.In the following description, all the components of a mechanical clockwork movement provided with power reserve detection means, which are well known to a person skilled in this technical field, are only described in a simplified manner.

Les figures 1a et 1b représentent une vue tridimensionnelle de dessus de certains composants du mouvement d'horlogerie mécanique 1 en position de fonctionnement normal en figure 1a et en position de blocage du mouvement en figure 1b. Le mouvement d'horlogerie mécanique 1 comprend au moins un système à barillet non représenté, qui peut être disposé sur une face d'une platine de montre du mouvement ou d'une autre plaque support. Ce système à barillet peut être à simple barillet ou à deux barillets bien connus et disposant d'une sortie de charge et d'une sortie de décharge pour entraîner notamment un rouage de base de temps non représenté.The figures 1a and 1b represent a three-dimensional view from above of certain components of the mechanical clockwork movement 1 in normal operating position in figure 1a and in blocking position of the movement in figure 1b . The mechanical clockwork movement 1 comprises at least one not shown barrel system, which can be arranged on one side of a movement watch plate or another support plate. This barrel system can be single barrel or two barrels well known and having a load output and a discharge outlet for driving in particular a time base wheel not shown.

Le mouvement d'horlogerie mécanique 1 comprend par exemple sur une face d'une platine de montre 100 ou d'une plaque support, un différentiel 2 monté rotatif autour d'un axe de rotation et relié respectivement à la sortie de charge et à la sortie de décharge du système à barillet. Le différentiel 2 est relié directement ou par l'intermédiaire d'un étage réducteur ou chaîne de réduction de vitesse de rotation 3, 4 à la sortie de charge et à la sortie de décharge du système à barillet. De préférence, le différentiel 2 peut être relié par l'intermédiaire d'un étage réducteur 3, 4 de vitesse de rotation à la sortie de charge et à la sortie de décharge du système à barillet de manière à réduire la rotation pour la détection de la réserve de marche expliquée ci-après. Depuis la sortie de décharge du système à barillet, un ensemble de roues, par exemple de roues d'engrenages 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e peut être prévu entre une roue de sortie de décharge du système à barillet et le différentiel 2. Bien entendu, pour la charge du système à barillet, un ensemble de roues, par exemple de roues d'engrenage 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d peut être utilisé entre un organe de remontage et la sortie de charge du système à barillet, ce qui définit plutôt un étage multiplicateur dans ce sens.The mechanical clockwork movement 1 comprises, for example on a face of a watch plate 100 or a support plate, a differential 2 rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation and connected respectively to the charge output and to the discharge outlet of the barrel system. The differential 2 is connected directly or via a gear stage or speed reduction chain 3, 4 to the load output and the discharge output of the cylinder system. Preferably, the differential 2 can be connected via a speed reduction stage 3, 4 to the load output and the discharge output of the cylinder system so as to reduce the rotation for the detection of the power reserve explained below. From the discharge outlet of the barrel system, a set of wheels, for example gear wheels 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e can be provided between a discharge wheel of the barrel system and the differential 2. Of course, for the charging of the barrel system, a set of wheels, for example of gear wheels 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d can be used between a winding member and the charging outlet of the barrel system, which rather defines a multiplier stage in this sense.

Le différentiel 2 comprend une première roue de charge 2c et une seconde roue de décharge 2d disposée de préférence sur un même axe de rotation que la première roue de charge 2c. Le différentiel 2 comprend encore, une roue intermédiaire 2i entre la roue de charge 2c et la roue de décharge 2d et en contact de la roue de charge et de la roue de décharge notamment par l'intermédiaire d'un agencement à roulement à billes ou à rouleaux. La première roue de charge 2c peut entraîner une première roue 3a de l'ensemble de roues de charge 3, alors que la seconde roue de décharge 2d peut être entraînée en rotation par la roue finale 4a de l'ensemble de roues de décharge 4.The differential 2 comprises a first load wheel 2c and a second discharge wheel 2d disposed preferably on the same axis of rotation as the first load wheel 2c. The differential 2 further comprises an intermediate wheel 2i between the load wheel 2c and the discharge wheel 2d and in contact with the load wheel and the discharge wheel in particular by means of a ball bearing arrangement or with rollers. The first load wheel 2c can drive a first wheel 3a of the load wheel assembly 3, while the second wheel of discharge 2d can be rotated by the final wheel 4a of the discharge wheel assembly 4.

Dans un fonctionnement normal du mouvement d'horlogerie après une opération de charge du système à barillet, la roue de charge 2c reste fixe sans rotation, alors que la roue de décharge 2d est en rotation. De cette manière, la roue intermédiaire 2i est entraînée en rotation dans une même direction que la roue de décharge 2d, mais avec une vitesse de rotation plus petite que la vitesse de rotation de la roue de décharge 2d. Par contre pour une opération de charge du système à barillet, la roue de charge 2c est entraînée dans une direction de rotation opposée à la direction de rotation de la roue de décharge. Cela a pour conséquence d'entraîner la roue intermédiaire 2i aussi dans la direction de rotation de la roue de charge 2c, étant donné que la rotation générée à la roue de charge 2c est plus grande dans ce cas que la rotation de la roue de décharge 2d.In normal operation of the watch movement after a charging operation of the barrel system, the load wheel 2c remains fixed without rotation, while the discharge wheel 2d is rotating. In this way, the intermediate wheel 2i is rotated in the same direction as the discharge wheel 2d, but with a rotational speed smaller than the rotational speed of the discharge wheel 2d. On the other hand, for a charging operation of the barrel system, the load wheel 2c is driven in a direction of rotation opposite to the direction of rotation of the discharge wheel. This has the consequence of driving the intermediate wheel 2i also in the direction of rotation of the load wheel 2c, since the rotation generated at the load wheel 2c is greater in this case than the rotation of the discharge wheel 2d.

Comme également montrée aux figures 2a, 2b, 3a et 3b, la roue intermédiaire 2i du différentiel 2 est reliée à un mobile de blocage 5. Ce mobile de blocage 5 peut tourner autour d'un axe de rotation d'une position de réserve de marche maximale comme représenté aux figures 2a et 3a, à une position de réserve de marche à zéro, qui est une position de blocage du mouvement d'horlogerie, comme représenté aux figures 2b et 3b.As also shown to Figures 2a, 2b , 3a and 3b , the intermediate wheel 2i of the differential 2 is connected to a locking wheel 5. This locking wheel 5 can rotate about an axis of rotation of a maximum power reserve position as shown in FIG. Figures 2a and 3a at a power reserve position at zero, which is a lock position of the watch movement, as shown in FIGS. figures 2b and 3b .

Le mobile de blocage 5 comprend une première roue 5', qui est fixée sur l'axe de rotation. Cette première roue 5' est en contact de la roue intermédiaire 2i du différentiel 2 et entraînée par ladite roue intermédiaire 2i. La première roue 5' peut comprendre une denture pour engrener avec une denture de la roue intermédiaire 2i. Le mobile de blocage 5 peut comprendre encore une seconde roue 5" fixée sur l'axe de rotation et disposée de manière coaxiale au-dessus et parallèle à la première roue 5'. Cette seconde roue 5" est prévue pour être reliée directement à un indicateur 7 de réserve de marche ou par l'intermédiaire d'une roue d'entraînement 6, 6' à l'indicateur 7 de réserve de marche.The locking wheel 5 comprises a first wheel 5 ', which is fixed on the axis of rotation. This first wheel 5 'is in contact with the intermediate wheel 2i of the differential 2 and driven by said intermediate wheel 2i. The first wheel 5 'may comprise a toothing for meshing with a toothing of the intermediate wheel 2i. The locking wheel 5 may further comprise a second wheel 5 "fixed on the axis of rotation and arranged coaxially above and parallel to the first wheel 5 'This second wheel 5" is intended to be directly connected to a power reserve indicator 7 or via a drive wheel 6, 6 'to the power reserve indicator 7.
