Definitions
- the present invention relates to a watch movement comprising two rotating components around a common axis.
- each piece used comprises a shaft provided at both ends of pivots, each engaged in a bearing.
- the pivot members formed of a bearing and a pivot are traditionally used to ensure axial and radial positioning of the rotating parts present in the movements.
- FR1033071 proposes a stone having a circular section hole and a steel pivot, having at its surface facing the stone, a polygonal section, so as to reduce the contact surfaces between the pivot and the stone.
- WO20091 15519 discloses a pivot member for rotating a workpiece of a watch movement about an axis of rotation, comprising a pivot and a bearing receiving said pivot.
- the contact surfaces of the two elements against each other are made of a material having a low coefficient of friction and a low wear rate.
- the object of the present invention is to propose another arrangement for coupling two watch components in a coaxial manner by means of easily manufactured and easily machinable pivoting members.
- the present invention also makes it possible to avoid hardening of the material caused by contact between a pivot and a bearing.
- a watch movement comprises two rotary watch components around a common axis, namely a first watch component fixed to a shaft comprising at at least one of its ends a pivot and a second watch component comprising a receiving bearing said pivot.
- the pivot and the bearing have the shape of a regular rounded polygon of three to six sides, preferably a rounded equilateral triangle, male or female respectively, arranged so that the pivot engages the bearing with angular clearance for transmitting a rotation of the shaft to the second component by a self-locking effect.
- the rounded triangular shape of the pivot and the bearing respectively has a diameter D1, D1 'of a virtual registered circle tangent to the three sides of the triangle and respectively a diameter D2, D2' of a virtual circumscribed circle. passing through the three vertices, where the ratio D1 / D2 or D1 7D2 'is between 0.5 and 0.95.
- the rounded triangular shape of the bearing has a diameter D2 'of a virtual circumscribed circle passing through the three vertices of the triangle of the bearing and the rounded triangular shape of the pivot has a diameter D2 of a circumscribed circle. virtual passing through the three vertices of the triangle of the pivot, where the ratio D27D2 is between 0.7 and 0.99.
- a contact surface S made between the pivot and the bearing when the pivot is inserted into the bearing and moved angularly to ensure a self-locking effect, extends over a length of between 1 / 10 and 9/10 of the total length of one side of the rounded polygon of the pivot.
- the difference in diameter between D2 and D2 'and the shape of the bearing and the pivot allow that the insertion of the pivot in the bearing is self-centering, allowing by an angular displacement a self-locking effect, the extraction of the pivot of the bearing angular displacement opposite the angular displacement for self-locking.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a bearing and a pivot, rounded equilateral triangular shape
- FIG. 2 shows a bottom view of a pivot inserted in a bearing, the pivot and the bearing being rounded triangular equilateral shape
- FIG. 3 shows a bottom view of the pivot and the bearing of Figure 2, the pivot having been moved angularly in a clockwise direction;
- - Figure 4 shows a bottom view of a pivot or a triangular equilateral triangular bearing rounded;
- FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of a coaxial coupling of two barrels, a pivot and a triangular equilateral triangular bearing ensuring the connection between the two barrels;
- FIG. 6 shows a sectional view of two barrels coaxially coupled.
- a coaxial coupling of two rotary clock components around a common axis is made from a first clock component (partially illustrated) attached to a shaft 30 having at one of its ends a pivot 1 and a second clock component 20 (partially illustrated) having a bearing 2 receiving said pivot 1.
- the pivot 1 and the bearing 2 have the shape of a rounded equilateral triangle male or female respectively and are arranged so that the pivot 1 engages in the bearing 2 with an angular play to transmit a rotation of the shaft 30 to the second component 20 by a self-locking effect.
- the pivot 1 comprises a bearing surface 3 rubbing against a face 4 of the watch component 20.
- the pivot 1 is inserted into the bearing 2, the pivot 1 and the bearing 2 being of rounded triangular shape.
- the rounded triangular shape of the bearing 2 has a diameter D2 of a virtual circumscribed circle 6 passing through the three vertices of the triangle of the bearing 2 and the rounded triangular shape of the pivot 1 has a diameter D2 'of a virtual circumscribed circle 10 passing through the three vertices of the triangle of the pivot (1).
- the difference between the diameters D2 'and D2 is small and the ratio D27D2 is 0.93.
- the pivot 1 of rounded triangular male form fits into the rounded triangular female shape of the bearing 2 and after angular displacement the pivot 1 and the bearing 2 are connected in rotation about the same axis .
- the insertion of the pivot 1 in the bearing 2 is self-centering, allowing by this angular displacement a self-locking effect.
- the extraction of the pivot 1 of the bearing 2 is by angular displacement opposite to the angular displacement for the self-locking.
- the rounded triangular shape of the pivot 1 and the bearing 2 has a diameter D 1 of a virtual inscribed circle 6 tangential to the three sides of the triangle and a diameter D 2 of a virtual circumscribed circle 5 passing through the three highs.
- the ratio D1 / D2 is, in this example, about 0.83.
- the difference between the diameters, outside D2 and inside D1 is small and allows for example to have a rigid axis and to be able to hollow out the center of the tree.
- the pivot 1 can be hollowed out so as to be traversed by a shaft with a larger diameter than if the pivot had a square shape.
- Figures 5 and 6 show an arrangement for coupling two barrels 7, 8 in series coaxially.
- the two barrels 7, 8 are rotatable about a common axis connected in series, namely a first barrel 8 fixed to a shaft 9 having at one of its ends said bearing 2 and a second barrel 7 comprising said pivot 1 receiving said bearing 2 .
- FIG. 6 shows a sectional view of a coaxial coupling of two barrels 7, 8 in series.
- Each of the barrels 7, 8 comprises a barrel 13, 14 each serving as housing a spring 17 and pivoting to a barrel shaft for fixing the springs 17 by a hook on a bung.
- a first barrel shaft 8 is rotated by an outer wheel 12, the first barrel shaft 9 rotating a drum 13 of barrel 8.
- the barrel 13 of barrel 8 has a bearing 2 in which is embedded a pivot 1 made in a second shaft 1 1 cylinder 7.
- the first shaft 9 of barrel 8 freely rotates in the second shaft 1 1 cylinder 7.
- the spring 17, via a hook of the barrel shaft 9 rotates the drum 13 of the barrel 8.
- the drum 13 of barrel 8 comprises the bearing 2 ( Figure 5) in which is embedded a pivot 1 formed in the shaft 1 January barrel 7. This recess allows to couple the two barrels 7, 8 without additional room.
- the shaft 1 1 of barrel 7 rotates freely around the barrel shaft 9 and drives the spring 15 which rotates the drum 14 of barrel 7.
- a ring gear 16, integral with the drum 14 of the barrel 7, transmits the energy to the movement of the watch.
- the preferred geometric shape of the pivot 1 and the bearing 2 is triangular, but in undescribed variants, this geometric shape may be polygonal, for example pentagonal.
- This coaxial coupling of two watch components makes it possible to save space in a movement, be it a wristwatch, a pocket watch or a table clock.
