Description

Domaine de l'inventionField of the invention

L'invention concerne un mécanisme de commande d'horlogerie pour la commande à distance d'une tige principale de manoeuvre d'un mouvement d'horlogerie mobile axialement et en rotation.The invention relates to a clock control mechanism for remote control of a main operating rod of an axially movable clockwork movement and in rotation.

L'invention concerne encore une montre comportant au moins un mouvement d'horlogerie comportant une tige principale de manoeuvre mobile axialement et en rotation, et un tel mécanisme de commande.The invention also relates to a watch comprising at least one watch movement comprising a main rod of operation movable axially and in rotation, and such a control mechanism.

L'invention concerne le domaine des mécanismes de commande d'horlogerie.The invention relates to the field of clock control mechanisms.

Arrière-plan de l'inventionBackground of the invention

La conception des mouvements d'horlogerie, et plus particulièrement des mouvements d'horlogerie mécaniques, autorise rarement une polyvalence d'emploi de ces mouvements. En particulier un mouvement donné est en général conçu, ou bien pour une montre-bracelet, ou bien pour une montre de poche. Il est alors difficile d'adapter à une autre forme de montre un mouvement qui n'a pas été conçu pour ça. De la même façon, il est malcommode de modifier l'orientation angulaire des axes des mécanismes de commande, par exemple pour réaliser des montres de pilote d'avion.The design of watch movements, and more particularly mechanical watch movements, rarely allows a versatility of use of these movements. In particular, a given movement is generally designed, either for a wristwatch, or for a pocket watch. It is difficult to adapt to another form of watch a movement that was not designed for that. In the same way, it is awkward to modify the angular orientation of the axes of the control mechanisms, for example to make aircraft pilot watches.

Il est encore plus difficile de s'affranchir des contraintes d'encombrement liées au logement des complications, dont les commandes ne peuvent pas être éloignées des organes sur lesquels elles agissent. Notamment les commandes d'actionnement et de remise à zéro de chronographes, de changement de fuseau horaire, de réveil ou de sonnerie, sont en général disposées à proximité immédiate des supports de ces fonctions. Et il n'est souvent pas possible d'utiliser un prolongateur de commande, de type targette ou similaire, sans augmenter sensiblement le diamètre, ou plus généralement les dimensions, de la boîte de montre. De la même façon, l'utilisation d'arbres de commande parallèles et reliés par un train de rouage, qui est parfois imposée par les contraintes géométriques, n'autorise pas un déport important, et se traduit toujours par un encombrement majoré du mouvement.It is even more difficult to overcome the constraints of congestion related to housing complications, whose commands can not be removed from the organs on which they act. In particular, the commands for actuating and resetting chronographs, timezone changes, alarms or buzzers are generally arranged in the immediate vicinity of the supports for these functions. And it is often not possible to use a control extender, type of bolt or the like, without substantially increasing the diameter, or more generally the dimensions, of the watch case. In the same way, the use of parallel control shafts connected by a gear train, which is sometimes imposed by the geometric constraints, does not allow a large offset, and always results in increased bulk movement.

Résumé de l'inventionSummary of the invention

L'invention se propose de mettre en oeuvre un mécanisme de commande déportée d'horlogerie, apte à être logée dans un emplacement quelconque, et dans une orientation quelconque, d'une boîte de montre, pour la commande d'un mouvement d'horlogerie également logé dans cette boîte, mais non nécessairement conçu pour être commandé depuis des positions quelconques de la boîte.The invention proposes to implement a remote control mechanism of watchmaking, capable of being housed in any location, and in any orientation, of a watch case, for the control of a watch movement also housed in this box, but not necessarily designed to be controlled from any positions of the box.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un mécanisme de commande d'horlogerie pour la commande à distance d'une tige principale de manoeuvre d'un mouvement d'horlogerie mobile axialement et en rotation, selon la revendication 1.To this end, the invention relates to a clock control mechanism for remote control of a main operating rod of an axially movable clockwork movement in rotation, according to claim 1.

L'invention concerne encore une montre comportant au moins un mouvement d'horlogerie comportant une tige principale de manoeuvre mobile axialement et en rotation, et un tel mécanisme de commande.The invention also relates to a watch comprising at least one watch movement comprising a main rod of operation movable axially and in rotation, and such a control mechanism.

Description détaillée des modes de réalisation préférésDetailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments

L'invention concerne un mécanisme de commande 100 d'horlogerie, pour la commande à distance d'une tige principale 1 de manoeuvre d'un mouvement 1000 d'horlogerie, cette tige principale 1 étant mobile axialement et en rotation.The invention relates to a 100 clock control mechanism, for the remote control of a main stem 1 for maneuvering a clockwork movement 1000, this main rod 1 being axially movable and in rotation.

Selon l'invention, ce mécanisme de commande 100 comporte une tige secondaire 2, qui est agencée pour être manoeuvrée par un utilisateur pour la commande de mouvement de la tige principale 1.According to the invention, this control mechanism 100 comprises a secondary rod 2, which is arranged to be operated by a user for the movement control of the main rod 1.

L'invention est illustrée par une réalisation particulière, nullement limitative, dans laquelle l'invention permet de décaler la couronne de remontage d'une montre, depuis la position à 3 heures usuelle pour les montres-bracelet, vers la position à 12 heures usuelle pour les montres de poche, en utilisant un mouvement standard pour montre-bracelet comportant une tige de remontage à 3 heures. C'est à l'aide de deux bascules et d'un jeu de rouages et renvois, tous installés dans la boîte de la montre, qu'il est possible d'actionner la tige de remontoir du mouvement située en position à 3 heures, à l'aide de la couronne qui se situe dans la boîte en position à 12 heures. Naturellement l'invention peut être mise en oeuvre pour tout type de commande : chronographe, fuseau, sonnerie, ou autre, et dans n'importe quelle position angulaire.The invention is illustrated by a particular embodiment, in no way limiting, in which the invention makes it possible to shift the winding crown of a watch, from the usual 3 o'clock position for the wristwatches, to the usual 12 o'clock position. for pocket watches, using a standard movement for wristwatch featuring a winding rod at 3 o'clock. It is with the aid of two rockers and a set of gear wheels and references, all installed in the watch case, that it is possible to actuate the winding stem of the movement located in position at 3 o'clock, using the crown that is in the box in position at 12 o'clock. Naturally the invention can be implemented for any type of control: chronograph, spindle, bell, or other, and in any angular position.

Dans l'exemple illustré les bascules permettent d'actionner la tirette, afin d'actionner, par la couronne, soit le remontage du mouvement, soit la mise à l'heure.In the example illustrated, the rockers enable the pulling mechanism to be actuated, by means of the crown, to wind the movement or set the time.

Le système de rouage et de renvoi permet ainsi de faire tourner la tige du mouvement située à 3 heures en tournant la couronne située à 12 heures.The gearing and return system thus makes it possible to rotate the rod of the movement located at 3 o'clock by turning the crown located at 12 o'clock.

A cet effet, le mécanisme de commande 100 comporte une platine 3, laquelle est agencée pour être fixée à un mouvement 1000 ou pour constituer un élément de structure d'un mouvement 1000, tel que platine, pont, ou similaire. Cette platine 3 comporte des moyens de guidage 4 en rotation de la tige secondaire 2. La platine 3 comporte encore des moyens d'arrêt axial 5 d'un pignon secondaire 6, par rapport auquel la tige secondaire 2 est libre en translation et solidaire en rotation. La figure 6 montre ces moyens d'arrêt axial 5 réalisés sous la forme d'un petit pont formant un étrier et qui empêche la translation axiale du pignon secondaire 6, lequel est entraîné en rotation par un carré 22, ou similaire, de la tige secondaire 2.For this purpose, the control mechanism 100 comprises a plate 3, which is arranged to be attached to a movement 1000 or to form a structural element of a movement 1000, such as platinum, bridge, or the like. This plate 3 comprises guide means 4 in rotation of the secondary rod 2. The plate 3 further comprises axial stop means 5 of a secondary pinion 6, with respect to which the secondary rod 2 is free in translation and secured in rotation. The figure 6 shows these axial stop means 5 made in the form of a small bridge forming a stirrup and which prevents the axial translation of the secondary gear 6, which is rotated by a square 22, or the like, of the secondary rod 2.

Le mécanisme de commande 100 comporte un rouage de transmission 7, qui est en prise sur le pignon secondaire 6, et qui est agencé pour transmettre toute rotation du pignon secondaire 6 à la tige principale 1. Le mécanisme de commande 100 comporte encore une liaison articulée 8, qui est agencée pour transmettre tout mouvement axial de la tige secondaire 2 à la tige principale 1.The control mechanism 100 comprises a transmission train 7, which is engaged on the secondary gear 6, and which is arranged to transmit any rotation of the secondary gear 6 to the main rod 1. The control mechanism 100 further comprises an articulated connection 8, which is arranged to transmit any axial movement of the secondary rod 2 to the main rod 1.

Plus particulièrement, la liaison articulée 8 comporte au moins, à une première extrémité une première bascule 11 qui est pivotée sur la platine 3, au niveau d'un premier axe A11. La liaison articulée 8 comporte au moins, à une deuxième extrémité, une deuxième bascule 12 également pivotée sur la platine 3, au niveau d'un deuxième axe A12. La première bascule 11 est articulée à la première extrémité avec la tige principale 1, par exemple mais non limitativement tel qu'illustré avec une première fourchette enserrant un premier galet 110, et la deuxième bascule 12 est articulée à la deuxième extrémité avec la tige secondaire 2, par exemple avec une deuxième fourchette enserrant un deuxième galet 120.More particularly, the articulated connection 8 comprises at least, at a first end, a first latch 11 which is pivoted on the plate 3, at a first axis A11. The articulated connection 8 comprises at least, at a second end, a second latch 12 also pivoted on the plate 3, at a second axis A12. The first rocker 11 is articulated at the first end with the main rod 1, for example but not limited to as illustrated with a first fork embracing a first roller 110, and the second rocker 12 is articulated at the second end with the secondary rod 2, for example with a second fork embracing a second roller 120.

Cette première bascule 11 est articulée à cette deuxième bascule 12, par une articulation intermédiaire 13, ou par d'autres bascules articulées entre elles.This first rocker 11 is articulated to the second rocker 12, by an intermediate hinge 13, or by other rockers hinged together.

De façon particulière, la première bascule 11 forme une première tirette avec la tige principale 1, et la deuxième bascule 12 forme une deuxième tirette avec la tige secondaire 2.In particular, the first rocker 11 forms a first pull with the main rod 1, and the second rocker 12 forms a second pull with the secondary rod 2.

Dans une réalisation particulière telle qu'illustrée par les figures, la liaison articulée 8 est limitée à la première bascule 11 articulée à la deuxième bascule 12 par l'articulation intermédiaire 13.In a particular embodiment as illustrated by the figures, the articulated connection 8 is limited to the first lever 11 articulated to the second latch 12 by the intermediate articulation 13.

De façon particulière, le mécanisme de commande 100 comporte un pignon principal 9, qui est agencé pour être monté libre en translation sur la tige principale 1 et solidaire en rotation avec elle, et le rouage de transmission 7 est en prise sur ce pignon principal 9.In particular, the control mechanism 100 comprises a main pinion 9, which is arranged to be freely mounted in translation on the main rod 1 and integral in rotation with it, and the transmission train 7 is engaged on this main pinion 9 .

Selon la nécessité de la cinématique, le rouage de transmission 7 comporte un premier renvoi 19 agencé pour coopérer avec le pignon principal 9, et/ou un deuxième renvoi 16 agencé pour coopérer avec le pignon secondaire 6. Plus particulièrement, quand le rouage de transmission 7 comporte un tel premier renvoi 19 et un tel deuxième renvoi 16, le rouage de transmission 7 comporte, entre ce premier renvoi 19 et ce deuxième renvoi 16, au moins une roue intermédiaire 20, dans une réalisation particulière illustrée par les figures. Plus particulièrement, le rouage de transmission 7 ne comporte, entre ce premier renvoi 19 et ce deuxième renvoi 16, qu'une roue intermédiaire 20.Depending on the need for kinematics, the transmission train 7 comprises a first gear 19 arranged to cooperate with the main gear 9, and / or a second gear 16 arranged to cooperate with the secondary gear 6. More particularly, when the transmission train 7 includes such a first reference 19 and such a second reference 16, the transmission train 7 comprises, between the first reference 19 and the second reference 16, at least one intermediate wheel 20, in a particular embodiment illustrated by the figures. In particular, the Transmission wheel 7 comprises, between this first reference 19 and this second reference 16, only an intermediate wheel 20.

De façon particulière, la roue intermédiaire 20 est une roue annulaire agencée pour entourer le mouvement 1000. Le plan de cet anneau est ici parallèle aux axes de la tige principale 1 et de la tige secondaire 2, dans le cas particulier de la réalisation illustrée. Plus particulièrement les axes de la tige principale 1 et de la tige secondaire 2sont coplanaires comme dans le cas des figures, mais la conception de l'invention autorise aussi des géométries quelconques.In particular, the intermediate wheel 20 is an annular wheel arranged to surround the movement 1000. The plane of this ring is here parallel to the axes of the main rod 1 and the secondary rod 2, in the particular case of the illustrated embodiment. More particularly, the axes of the main rod 1 and the secondary rod 2 are coplanar as in the case of the figures, but the design of the invention also allows any geometry.

De façon particulière, la platine 3 est une carrure qui est agencée pour renfermer le mouvement 1000.In particular, the plate 3 is a middle part which is arranged to enclose the movement 1000.

L'invention concerne encore une montre 2000 comportant au moins un mouvement d'horlogerie 1000 comportant une tige principale 1 de manoeuvre mobile axialement et en rotation, et un tel mécanisme de commande 100.The invention also relates to a watch 2000 comprising at least one watch movement 1000 comprising a main rod 1 for moving axially and in rotation, and such a control mechanism 100.

Plus particulièrement, cette montre 2000 est une montre de poche, et le mouvement 1000 est un mouvement de montre-bracelet.More particularly, this 2000 watch is a pocket watch, and the 1000 movement is a wristwatch movement.

Dans une application particulière, la tige principale 1 est une tige de mise à l'heure et/ou de remontage.In a particular application, the main stem 1 is a time setting rod and / or winding.

L'invention permet, ainsi, le déport de mécanismes de commande en différentes positions de la boîte de montre, ce qui permet notamment d'utiliser le même mouvement pour une montre-bracelet ou une montre de poche au prix de peu de transformations, ou encore de loger des mécanismes de commande en des emplacements de la boîte non occupés par des complications, de façon à optimiser le volume disponible à l'intérieur de la boîte.The invention thus makes it possible to offset control mechanisms in different positions of the watch case, which makes it possible in particular to use the same movement for a wristwatch or a pocket watch at the cost of few transformations, or still to house control mechanisms at locations of the box not occupied by complications, so as to optimize the volume available inside the box.

L'invention permet, encore, de réaliser des commandes ergonomiques, dont la position n'est plus dictée uniquement par l'emplacement de la fonction à commander, et, en particulier, l'exécution de montres pour utilisateurs gauchers qui représentent, selon les Etats, environ 5% à 15% de la population.The invention also makes it possible to carry out ergonomic controls, whose position is no longer dictated solely by the location of the function to be controlled, and, in particular, the execution of watches for left-handed users which represent, according to the States, about 5% to 15% of the population.
