Definitions
- the invention relates to an apparatus (for example a watch, a telephone, a remote control, etc.) provided with an actuating system for activating an electrical element of said apparatus (the electrical element is for example an LED , an electromagnetic wave transmission antenna, timing means, etc.).
- an electrical element of a device by operating a push button.
- a push button located outside the middle part, to activate a transmitting antenna of a remote control via a button of the remote control, for example to control an audiovisual apparatus or a luminaire.
- Actuation of the push button causes the establishment of an electrical contact between a power source (generally a battery) and the electrical element (a light source, generally a light emitting diode, an infrared or radio frequency optical transmission element, etc.).
- a power source generally a battery
- the electrical element a light source, generally a light emitting diode, an infrared or radio frequency optical transmission element, etc.
- EP 1 227 375 A1 relates to a timepiece generating thermoelectric energy comprising a dial, a movement and a thermal conduction sheet, provided in an enclosed space, defined by a metal case, with a glass attached thereto, and a bottom and further comprising a thermoelectric element housed in a space between the thermal conduction sheet and the bottom of the housing.
- the bottom is made of two types of materials each having a different thermal conductivity.
- FR 2 310 589 A1 relates to an electric wristwatch comprising a "housing, a display device, a timekeeping module, an electrical energy storage device and a thermoelectric generator, comprising at least two parts thermally insulated from one another connected to the thermoelectric generator, these parts being arranged so that their temperature levels are at least temporarily different.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome the drawback mentioned above.
- the first plate is initially at the environmental temperature of the apparatus, and the second plate is initially at the temperature of the housing since it is positioned against a wall of the cavity of the housing.
- the first plate is heated, for example by transmitting the natural heat released by a finger placed on the first plate, by friction of the finger on the first plate, or by actuating an intermediate plate which itself comes to create friction on the first plate, there is a temperature difference between the first and the second plate.
- the temperature gradient is at the origin of an electric potential difference via the Seebeck effect between the dominoes of the first plate and the dominoes of the second plate. This difference in electrical potential is then communicated to the electrical element via the electronic transmission circuit.
- the actuation system behaves like a thermoelectric push button without moving part, perfectly sealed, and used for both mechanical watches and electronic watches.
- thermoelectric element placed at the output of the thermoelectric element and capable of converting voltages of the order of one millivolt to volt volt voltages
- a simple contact of the finger on the first plate is sufficient to generate sufficient electrical power to produce visible light using a light emitting diode.
- the device is worn on the body or is in an environment at a temperature higher than that of the human body, it is necessary to rub the first plate to generate such power.
- the apparatus may have the following characteristics, taken alone or in any technically possible combination.
- the first plate is constituted or comprises a layer made of a material with a high coefficient of friction.
- the electronic transmission circuit comprises a DC-DC converter and two electrical son passing through the housing, each wire being connected on the one hand to a domino of the second plate and on the other hand to said converter.
- the electronic transmission circuit comprises an accumulator placed at the output of the DC-DC converter, and a control unit connected on the one hand to the battery and on the other hand to the electric element, to discharge the battery when its charge exceeds a threshold value.
- the accumulator is a capacitor.
- the actuation system comprises an electrical insulating layer disposed between the first plate and the second plate and laterally covering the thermoelectric module.
- the actuating system comprises an intermediate plate and means for moving the intermediate plate against the first plate.
- the apparatus is a wristwatch.
- the device is a remote control.
- the apparatus is a wireless wall switch.
- the electrical element comprises a light-emitting diode.
- the electrical element comprises a radiofrequency transmitter.
- the figure 1 illustrates an AP apparatus, which in this case is a wristwatch.
- the AP apparatus is not necessarily a watch, but could be another type of apparatus, for example a telephone, a remote control, or a wireless wall switch.
- the AP watch has a BT box inside which is an electric element EL (shown in FIG. figure 4 ).
- the electrical element EL is for example a light-emitting diode or a set of light-emitting diodes for illuminating the dial of the watch, or a radiofrequency transmitter.
- the electrical element consists of a set of diodes, each diode being placed at an hour index.
- the electric element EL is not necessarily a diode or a set of diodes.
- the electrical element EL is more generally any means of activating a function, switching on a mode, etc.
- thermoelectric module MT is positioned in a cavity CV made in the lateral zone of the housing BT and opening towards the outside of the BT box, that is to say the outer part of the AP watch.
- the thermoelectric module MT comprises a first plate P1 and a second electrically insulating plate P2.
- the first plate P1 carries a plurality of electrically conductive SM dominoes arranged next to one another.
- the second plate P2 carries a plurality of electrically conductive SM dominoes arranged next to each other.
- Each domino of the first plate P1 is connected to two dominoes of the second plate P2 by a pair of semiconductor PL pillars so as to make the best use of the Seebeck effect.
- Each pair of pillars PL has an n-doped semiconductor and a p-doped semiconductor.
- the first plate P1 and the second plate P2 extend substantially parallel to each other, and the pillars PL extend substantially orthogonally to the plates P1, P2.
- the second plate P2 constituting the cold pole of the thermoelectric module MT is positioned against the bottom FD of the cavity CV.
- the first plate P1, facing the second plate P2, is therefore accessible from outside the BT box.
- the first plate P1 constitutes the hot pole of the thermoelectric module MT. Applying a temperature gradient across the thermoelectric module, by heating the first plate P1, causes the diffusion of charge carriers to the second plate P2, thereby generating an electrical voltage.
- the actuation system SA also comprises a thermal insulation layer IS disposed around the thermoelectric module MT, between the first and the second plate P1, P2.
- the first plate P1 is for example heated by rubbing the finger, as shown in FIG. figure 1 .
- the first plate P1 is then advantageously constituted or covered with a material with a high coefficient of friction.
- a simple contact of the finger on the first plate P1 may be sufficient to create a sufficient temperature gradient to generate a voltage of a few millivolts at the output of the thermoelectric module MT.
- the actuating system SA comprises an intermediate plate and means for moving the intermediate plate against the first plate P1, for example springs.
- a user does not have to touch or rub the first plate P1, which has a high coefficient of friction and is therefore not pleasant to the touch, but only to move the intermediate plate which itself rubs against the first plate P1.
- the intermediate plate is advantageously made of a material pleasant to the touch, for a better comfort of use.
