Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a watch movement, in particular for a wristwatch, comprising a flexible guiding system.
  • Flexible guidance systems are designed to allow the movement of a component in a specific direction in rotation or translation without friction.
  • These systems include elastic guide parts which connect a movable part, constituting said component, to a fixing part used to fix the flexible guide system on a support such as the plate of a watch movement. Examples of such systems are described in the documents EP 2037335 , EP 2273323 And WO 2011/120180 . They all have the disadvantage of occupying a significant space in the movement, particularly in height.
  • the present invention aims to remedy the aforementioned drawback relating to known flexible guiding systems, or at least to attenuate it, and to this end proposes a watch movement according to claim 1.
  • the watch movement according to the invention comprises a frame and a mechanism mounted in or on the frame.
  • the mechanism comprises a flexible guiding system comprising a fixing part and a movable part connected by elastic guide parts.
  • the flexible guide system is located at least partly in an opening of an element of the frame and is fixed by the fixing part to the side wall of said opening.
  • the fixing part and the movable part are more rigid, or include a more rigid part, than the elastic parts.
  • the mechanism includes all or part of the moving components of the movement. It may include several so-called flexible guiding systems to guide several components.
  • the frame can be the fixed frame of the movement or a mobile frame mounted on the fixed frame and carrying the mechanism.
  • the flexible guide system is fixed to the side wall of said opening by an elastic deformation of the fixing part, a deformation which can be purely elastic or which can be an elastic component of a plastic and elastic deformation (driving).
  • the fixing part may comprise a first annular part connected to the movable part by the elastic guide parts and a second annular part surrounding the first annular part and connected to the latter by discrete connecting parts.
  • the fixing part may comprise a first part connected to the movable part by the elastic guide parts and elastic arms connecting the side wall of said opening to the first part.
  • Said element of the frame can be a plate or a bridge.
  • Said opening can be circular and/or through.
  • the fixing part surrounds the movable part.
  • the flexible guidance system is monolithic.
  • the mechanism comprises a component integral with the mobile part and located outside the opening.
  • Such a component can be a balance, an escapement anchor, a lever or a rocker for example.
  • the component may be a clutch rocker carrying a clutch wheel.
  • a flexible guiding system comprises a fixing part 1 and a movable part 2 connected by elastic blades 3.
  • the elastic blades 3 are of the "crossed blades" type not separated” and thus physically intersect at a point 4.
  • the elastic blades 3 form a flexible pivot allowing the movable part 2 to be guided without friction in rotation around the point 4.
  • the fixing part 1, the movable part 2 and the elastic blades 3 are coplanar.
  • the fixing part 1 has an annular shape which surrounds the movable part 2.
  • a radial protrusion 1a located on the interior face of the fixing part 1 serves as an abutment for surfaces 2a of the movable part 2 to limit the angular movement of the movable part 2 relative to the fixing part 1.
  • the fixing part 1 is driven into an opening 5 presented by the plate or a bridge 6 of the fixed frame of a watch movement.
  • the opening 5 is preferably circular and through, as illustrated.
  • the plate or bridge 6 comprising the opening 5 is represented schematically in the form of a ring. Thanks to this arrangement, the flexible guiding system 1, 2, 3 is integrated into the fixed frame of the movement and frees up space for the other moving components of the movement, particularly in height. In addition, great freedom is offered for the placement of the flexible guide system 1, 2, 3 in the movement, since it is sufficient to provide an opening in the plate or a bridge and to introduce the flexible guide system 1 there. , 2, 3. It goes without saying that this principle can also be applied to a mobile frame of the movement mounted on the fixed frame, for example to a tourbillon cage.
  • the mobile part 2 carries assembly means, for example pins or pins 7, by which a mobile component of the movement can be made integral with the mobile part 2.
  • This mobile component is then located outside of the opening 5.
  • This mobile component is for example a lever or rocker such as a clutch rocker 8 carrying a clutch wheel 9 as shown in figure 2 . It could, alternatively, be a balance wheel or an escapement anchor for example.
  • the movement mechanism of which the flexible guiding system 1, 2, 3 is part is partially represented and designated by the reference 20.
  • slots 10 formed in the fixing part 1 divide the latter into two concentric annular parts 11, 12 connected to each other by discrete connecting parts 13.
  • the outer annular part 11 undergoes most of the deformation constraints during driving of the flexible guide system 1, 2, 3 into the opening 5 of the frame.
  • the inner annular part 12 is substantially isolated from the driving constraints by the openings 10.
  • the crossing point 4 of the elastic blades 3, around which the movable part 2 pivots, is thus substantially not moved during driving, this which increases the operating precision of the component.
  • the fixing part 1 comprises an inner annular part 14 which surrounds the movable part 2 and is connected to the latter by the elastic blades 3, and outer elastic arms 15 which are connected to the inner annular part 14 by a connecting part 16.
  • the elastic arms 15 are in contact with the side wall 5a of the opening 5 and maintain the flexible guide system 1, 2, 3 in the opening 5 by their elastic deformation.
  • the flexible guide system 1, 2, 3 can be fixed to the side wall 5a of the opening 5 by bringing the elastic arms 15 closer to each other, then being introduced into the opening 5 then releasing the elastic arms 15 so that they exert constrained against the side wall 5a of the opening 5.
  • the flexible guiding system according to the invention can be produced in a monolithic manner, for example in silicon or any other suitable material according to the deep reactive ion etching technique known as “DRIE” (Deep Reactive Ion Etching), in nickel, nickel alloy. nickel or any other suitable material according to the LIGA technique (lithography, electroplating, casting), in steel, copper-beryllium, nickel silver or other metallic alloy by milling or by electroerosion, or in metallic glass by casting.
  • DRIE Deep reactive ion etching technique
  • LIGA latitude, electroplating, casting
  • steel copper-beryllium, nickel silver or other metallic alloy by milling or by electroerosion, or in metallic glass by casting.
  • the flexible guiding system according to the invention could define another type of flexible pivot than a pivot with non-separated crossed blades, for example a pivot with separate crossed blades or a pivot with a remote center of rotation called "RCC" (Remote Center). Compliance).
  • the flexible guidance system could also, alternatively, be a linear guidance system.
  • the fixing part 1 could be fixed to the side wall 5a of the opening 5 in a manner other than by driving or purely elastic deformation, for example by gluing or welding.
