Description
L'invention concerne un chronomètre de marine, comprenant une montre généralement de grand format destinée à conserver le temps sur les bateaux. De manière connue, une telle montre est fixée à un support par l'intermédiaire d'une suspension à cardan de sorte que la montre est inclinable dans toutes les directions par rapport au support. La suspension à cardan assure ainsi à la montre et plus précisément au cadran de la montre une position horizontale quels que soient les mouvements du bateau. Une suspension à cardan est toutefois fragile et supporte assez mal les déplacements, les chocs, notamment du fait du poids de la montre qu'elle porte.The invention relates to a marine chronometer, comprising a generally large watch intended to keep time on boats. In known manner, such a watch is fixed to a support by means of a cardan suspension so that the watch is tiltable in all directions relative to the support. The universal joint suspension thus ensures the watch and more precisely the watch face a horizontal position whatever the movements of the boat. A gimbal suspension is fragile, however, and tolerates displacements and shocks quite badly, in particular because of the weight of the watch it wears.
Également, un chronomètre de marine doit pouvoir être utilisé dans des conditions climatiques difficiles et doit en particulier résister à l'eau. De manière connue, la montre est équipée d'un boîtier étanche à l'eau. Toutefois, l'étanchéité de la zone de contact mécanique entre le mécanisme de la montre, à l'intérieur du boîtier, et le mécanisme de remontage, positionné à l'extérieur du boîtier de la montre, généralement assuré par un joint d'étanchéité n'est pas toujours garantie quelle que soit les conditions d'utilisation, par exemple dans le cas d'une mise à l'heure l'efficacité du joint d'étanchéité peut être diminuée.Also, a marine chronometer must be able to be used in difficult climatic conditions and must in particular resist water. In known manner, the watch is equipped with a waterproof case. However, the tightness of the mechanical contact zone between the watch mechanism, inside the case, and the winding mechanism, positioned outside the watch case, generally provided by a seal. is not always guaranteed whatever the conditions of use, for example in the case of a time setting the effectiveness of the seal can be reduced.
On connaît déjà du document
L'invention propose un nouveau chronomètre de marine, ne présentant pas au moins un des inconvénients des chronomètres de marine connus décrits ci-dessus.The invention proposes a new marine chronometer, not presenting at least one of the drawbacks of the known marine chronometers described above.
A cet effet, l'invention propose un chronomètre de marine comprenant une montre montée inclinable sur un support par l'intermédiaire d'une suspension à cardan, chronomètre caractérisé en ce que le support comprend également un berceau mobile en translation entre une position de repos où la montre est libre de mouvement sur la suspension à cardan, et une position de maintien où la montre est en appui sur le berceau. Dit autrement, en position de repos, le berceau supporte le poids de la montre, déchargeant ainsi la suspension à cardan.To this end, the invention proposes a marine chronometer comprising a watch mounted tilting on a support by means of a cardan suspension, chronometer characterized in that the support also comprises a cradle movable in translation between a rest position where the watch is free to move on the cardan suspension, and a holding position where the watch is supported on the cradle. In other words, in the rest position, the cradle supports the weight of the watch, thereby unloading the cardan suspension.
Selon un mode de réalisation, le berceau comprend des moyens magnétiques aptes à coopérer avec des moyens magnétiques associés de la montre pour immobiliser la montre dans le berceau lorsque le berceau est en position de maintien.According to one embodiment, the cradle comprises magnetic means able to cooperate with associated magnetic means of the watch to immobilize the watch in the cradle when the cradle is in the holding position.
Le berceau peut également présenter une position intermédiaire entre la position de repos et la position de maintien, position intermédiaire dans laquelle les moyens magnétiques du berceau sont adaptés pour coopérer avec les moyens magnétiques associés de la montre pour orienter la montre (initialement en rotation libre sur la suspension à cardan par rapport au berceau, avant de l'immobiliser dans le berceau.The cradle can also have an intermediate position between the rest position and the holding position, an intermediate position in which the magnetic means of the cradle are adapted to cooperate with the associated magnetic means of the watch to orient the watch (initially in free rotation on the cardan suspension relative to the cradle, before immobilizing it in the cradle.
Selon un mode de réalisation, le support d'un chronomètre selon l'invention peut comprendre :
- au moins un axe de maintien sur lequel le berceau est monté coulissant et
- un mécanisme de levage de type ciseaux pour coulisser le berceau le long de l'axe de maintien entre la position de maintien et la position de repos.
- at least one retaining pin on which the cradle is slidably mounted and
- a scissor type lifting mechanism for sliding the cradle along the holding axis between the holding position and the rest position.
Le mécanisme de levage est par exemple actionné manuellement par un levier.The lifting mechanism is for example manually operated by a lever.
Le support peut également comprendre des moyens d'isolation magnétique mobiles entre :
- une position d'isolation où, lorsque le berceau est en position de repos, les moyens d'isolation forment un écran magnétique entre les moyens magnétiques du berceau et les moyens magnétiques de la montre et
- une position de retrait où, lorsque le berceau est en position de maintien, les moyens d'isolation magnétique sont inactifs.
- an isolation position where, when the cradle is in the rest position, the isolation means form a magnetic screen between the magnetic means of the cradle and the magnetic means of the watch, and
- a withdrawal position where, when the cradle is in the holding position, the magnetic isolation means are inactive.
L'utilisation de moyens d'isolation magnétique en position de repos du berceau permet d'utiliser des dispositifs magnétiques suffisamment forts pour garantir un couplage nul ou quasi nul lorsque le berceau est en position de repos, sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'avoir une distance entre le berceau au repos et la montre trop importante. Ceci permet de limiter les dimensions extérieures du chronomètre.The use of magnetic isolation means in the rest position of the cradle makes it possible to use magnetic devices which are strong enough to guarantee zero or almost zero coupling when the cradle is in the rest position, without it being necessary to have a distance between the cradle at rest and the watch too great. This makes it possible to limit the external dimensions of the chronometer.
Selon un mode de réalisation, la montre peut comprendre un mécanisme de remontage du barillet de son mouvement horloger et qui comprend un rotor de remontage en prise avec un rouage de remontage du mouvement horloger mécanique classique qui ne sera pas décrit en détail. Le rotor comprend une pluralité de dispositifs magnétiques répartis sur un pourtour extérieur du rotor pour former les moyens magnétiques de la montre adaptés pour coopérer avec les moyens magnétiques du berceau lorsque le berceau est en position de maintien ou en position intermédiaire. Le berceau peut quant à lui comprendre un stator annulaire comprenant une pluralité de dispositifs magnétiques répartis sur un pourtour intérieur du stator pour former les moyens magnétiques du berceau. Le stator peut être une roue dentée adaptée pour engrener avec un pignon de remontage disposé à l'extérieur de la montre et indépendante de celle-ci lorsque le berceau est en position de maintien. Ainsi, en position de maintien, le berceau peut être utilisé d'une part pour immobiliser et supporter la montre, et d'autre part pour remonter le mécanisme de la montre.According to one embodiment, the watch may include a mechanism for winding the barrel of its watch movement and which comprises a winding rotor engaged with a winding train for the classic mechanical watch movement which will not be described in detail. The rotor comprises a plurality of magnetic devices distributed over an outer periphery of the rotor to form the magnetic means of the watch adapted to cooperate with the magnetic means of the cradle when the cradle is in the holding position or in the intermediate position. The cradle may in turn comprise an annular stator comprising a plurality of magnetic devices distributed over an inner periphery of the stator to form the magnetic means of the cradle. The stator may be a toothed wheel adapted to mesh with a winding pinion arranged outside the watch and independent of the watch when the cradle is in the holding position. Thus, in the holding position, the cradle can be used on the one hand to immobilize and support the watch, and on the other hand to wind the mechanism of the watch.
L'invention concerne également un chronomètre de marine comprenant une montre montée inclinable sur un support par l'intermédiaire d'une suspension à cardan, chronomètre caractérisé en ce que la montre comprend un mouvement horloger mécanique comprenant un rotor de remontage en prise avec un rouage de remontage d'un barillet du mouvement horloger, et en ce que le support comprend un moyen de remontage mobile entre :
- une position de remontage où le rotor de la montre est couplé magnétiquement avec le moyen de remontage et
- une position de repos où le rotor de la montre est libre de rotation par rapport au moyen de remontage.
- a winding position where the watch rotor is magnetically coupled with the winding means and
- a rest position where the rotor of the watch is free to rotate relative to the winding means.
L'utilisation d'un couplage magnétique pour remonter le barillet de la montre permet de s'affranchir d'un passage de remontoir à travers de boitier de la montre et ainsi de réaliser un boîtier de montre parfaitement étanche.The use of a magnetic coupling to wind the barrel of the watch makes it possible to dispense with a winding passage through the watch case and thus to produce a perfectly waterproof watch case.
En outre le remontage peut être avantageusement être réalisé sans avoir à retourner le boitier et donc permet de conserver la lecture de l'heure pendant l'opération de remontage.In addition, reassembly can advantageously be carried out without having to turn the case over and therefore makes it possible to keep the time reading during the reassembly operation.
Selon un mode de réalisation, le moyen de remontage comprend un stator annulaire comprenant une pluralité de dispositifs magnétiques répartis sur un pourtour intérieur du stator, le stator étant mobile entre la position de remontage et la position de repos, le stator étant une roue dentée adaptée pour engrener avec un pignon de remontage disposé à l'extérieur de la montre et indépendante de celle-ci lorsque le stator est en position de remontage.According to one embodiment, the winding means comprises an annular stator comprising a plurality of magnetic devices distributed over an inner periphery of the stator, the stator being movable between the winding position and the rest position, the stator being a suitable toothed wheel to mesh with a winding pinion arranged outside of the watch and independent of the latter when the stator is in the winding position.

pins 31 positioned on either side of the cradle, pins on which the cradle is slidably mounted by means of fixinglugs 31a pierced with a hole of diameter adjusted to the diameter of the retaining pins 31, and - a scissor type lifting mechanism 32 (
figs. 5 ) to slide the cradle along the holding axis between the holding position and the rest position; the lifting mechanism is thus set in motion manually by a user via alever 33.
Plus précisément dans l'exemple représenté, le mécanisme de levage comprend le levier 33 et deux paires de bielles 34, 35 (cf
Le berceau 20 comprend des moyens magnétiques 22 aptes à coopérer avec des moyens magnétiques 14 associés de la montre 10 pour immobiliser la montre dans le berceau lorsque le berceau est en position de maintien. Le berceau a dans l'exemple représenté une forme annulaire et ses moyens magnétiques sont répartis sur un pourtour intérieur du berceau.The
Selon un mode de réalisation (non représenté) d'un chronomètre selon l'invention, les moyens magnétiques 14 de la montre comprennent une pluralité de dispositifs magnétiques répartis sur le pourtour du boîtier 11 de la montre, de préférence à l'intérieur du boîtier étanche, dans un plan sensiblement parallèle au plan de la glace de la montre. Le couplage magnétique entre les moyens magnétiques du berceau et les moyens magnétiques de la montre permet d'orienter la montre par rapport au berceau pour équilibrer le poids de la montre lorsqu'elle repose sur le berceau.According to one embodiment (not shown) of a chronometer according to the invention, the magnetic means 14 of the watch comprise a plurality of magnetic devices distributed around the periphery of the
Selon le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures, le berceau 20 du support 30 permet le remontage du barillet du mouvement horloger mécanique de la montre, en plus de son immobilisation. A cet effet, la montre 10 comprend un mécanisme comprenant un rotor 13 de remontage, et les moyens magnétiques 14 comprennent une pluralité de dispositifs magnétiques répartis sur un pourtour extérieur du rotor pour former les moyens magnétiques de la montre adaptés pour coopérer avec les moyens magnétiques du berceau lorsque le berceau est en position de maintien ou en position intermédiaire. A l'intérieur du boîtier de la montre, le rotor 13 est associé à une roue dentée 13a couplée de manière connue aux éléments habituels du rouage de remontage du barillet.According to the embodiment shown in the figures, the
Le berceau 20 comprend quant à lui un stator 21 annulaire, ici en forme de roue dentée (
Enfin le support est complété par un pignon de remontage 40 adapté pour engrener avec le stator 21 lorsque le berceau est en position de maintien, une ouverture 24 dans le carter étant prévue pour permettre la liaison mécanique entre le pignon de remontage 40 et le stator 21. Le pignon de remontage 40 qui est disposé à l'extérieur du boitier et indépendant de la montre, peut être entraîné en rotation manuellement à l'aide d'une clé 41, d'une molette, d'une manivelle, ... complété en option par un dispositif d'assistance électrique. Le pignon de remontage et le berceau forment ensemble un moyen de remontage mobile entre :
- une position de remontage (correspondant à la position de maintien du berceau) où le
rotor 13 de la montre est couplé magnétiquement avec le moyen de remontage notamment avec le stator 21, le boîtier de la montre étant par ailleurs immobilisé dans le berceau, et - une position de repos (correspondant à la position de repos du berceau) où le rotor de la montre est libre de rotation par rapport au moyen de remontage.
- a winding position (corresponding to the holding position of the cradle) where the
rotor 13 of the watch is magnetically coupled with the winding means, in particular with thestator 21, the watch case also being immobilized in the cradle, and - a rest position (corresponding to the rest position of the cradle) where the watch rotor is free to rotate relative to the winding means.
Par dispositifs magnétiques on entend dans toute la présente description des aimants, permanents ou non, ou des pièces magnétiques aptes à être couplées magnétiquement à des aimants. Par exemple, des aimants peuvent utilisés pour réaliser les dispositifs magnétiques 22 du berceau et des pièces magnétiques sont utilisées pour réaliser les dispositifs magnétiques 14 de la montre, ou bien l'inverse, ou encore des aimants sont choisis pour réaliser les dispositifs magnétiques du berceau et ceux de la montre. Le choix des dispositifs magnétiques, leurs dimensions, leur force magnétique, leur nombre, leur répartition sur le pourtour du berceau et sur le pourtour de la montre sont choisis en fonction de la force magnétique recherchée pour immobiliser la montre sur le berceau et / ou pour entraîner le rotor de remontage 13 en rotation.By magnetic devices is meant throughout this description magnets, permanent or not, or magnetic parts capable of being magnetically coupled to magnets. For example, magnets can be used to make the
Le berceau selon le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures est utilisé de la manière suivante. En position de repos (
Lorsque l'utilisateur tire sur le manche 37 du levier 33, le berceau est levé par le mécanisme 32 jusqu'à la position intermédiaire (correspondant au cran 36a) : le berceau 20 est proche du boîtier 11 de la montre sans être en contact et où les moyens magnétiques 22 du berceau sont couplés magnétiquement avec les moyens magnétiques 14 de la montre (
Lorsque l'utilisateur abaisse un peu plus le levier 33, le berceau est levé par le mécanisme 32 jusqu'à la position de maintien (cran 36b) : le berceau est en contact avec le boîtier 11 de la montre de sorte que le poids de la montre repose sur le berceau, les lames 34b contribuant à plaquer le stator contre le boitier 11. Le couplage magnétique entre les dispositifs magnétiques 22 du berceau et les moyens magnétiques 14 de la montre est alors maximal. La montre est immobilisée sur le berceau de sorte que la suspension à cardan est soulagée du poids de la montre. Dans cette position également, le pignon de remontage 40 engrène avec le stator 21 du berceau. Ainsi une rotation de la clé 41 entraîne en rotation le pignon de remontage, qui entraîne à son tour en rotation le stator 21. A son tour, le stator entraîne en rotation le rotor 13 par couplage magnétique, ce qui permet de remonter le barillet de la montre.When the user lowers the lever 33 a little more, the cradle is raised by the
Un chronomètre selon l'invention est avantageusement complété par des moyens d'isolation magnétique 50 mobiles entre :
- une position d'isolation où, lorsque le berceau est en position de repos, les moyens d'isolation forment un écran magnétique entre les moyens magnétiques du berceau et les moyens magnétiques de la montre et
- une position de retrait où, lorsque le berceau est en position de maintien, les moyens d'isolation magnétique sont inactifs.
- an isolation position where, when the cradle is in the rest position, the isolation means form a magnetic screen between the magnetic means of the cradle and the magnetic means of the watch, and
- a withdrawal position where, when the cradle is in the holding position, the magnetic isolation means are inactive.
Dans l'exemple représenté sur les figures, les moyens d'isolation magnétique sont constitués d'une pluralité de palettes 51 réalisées en un matériau de blindage magnétique; les palettes sont montées côte à côte sensiblement en cercle à l'intérieur du berceau ; les palettes sont montées pivotantes chacune par rapport à un axe de pivotement sensiblement parallèle au support, entre :
- une position d'isolation, correspondant à la position de repos du berceau 20, où les palettes sont déployées pour recouvrir les dispositifs magnétiques 22 du berceau ; tout couplage magnétique résiduel entre le stator et le rotor est ainsi neutralisé et
- une position de retrait, correspondant à la position de maintien du berceau, où les palettes sont écartées du berceau et ne forment plus écran magnétique entre les dispositifs magnétiques du rotor et ceux du stator.
- an isolation position, corresponding to the rest position of the
cradle 20, where the pallets are deployed to cover themagnetic devices 22 of the cradle; any residual magnetic coupling between the stator and the rotor is thus neutralized and - a withdrawal position, corresponding to the cradle holding position, where the vanes are spaced from the cradle and no longer form a magnetic screen between the magnetic devices of the rotor and those of the stator.
En pratique ici, les palettes sont en appui sur le carter 23 du berceau et sont entraînées en rotation lorsque le berceau 20 est déplacé en translation. Un contrepoids 52 peut être prévu sur chaque palette pour maintenir la palette en appui contre le carter 23 lors des mouvements du berceau 20.In practice here, the pallets are supported on the
Dans l'exemple qui vient d'être décrits le mécanisme est du type ciseaux, pour réaliser le mouvement de lever et d'abaissement du stator mais il est bien entendu que selon des variantes d'autres type de mécanismes de levage peuvent être envisagés, à titre d'exemple on pourrait prévoir un mécanisme du type genou simple ou à deux bielles ou encore un mécanisme du type presse à genoux ou encore un système à vérins par exemple des vérins à vis télescopique ou non.
