Definitions

  • the family of misses escapements proposes not to transmit an impulse to the balance wheel at each of its alternations.
  • the detent escapements are probably the best known of the misses with a misses by oscillation, that is to say a pulse every two alternations.
  • Each of the documents EP 1,770,452 , EP 1,538,491 , CH 700 091 and EP 2,199,875 discloses a detent escapement.
  • the quality factor of the pendulum is particularly high.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a new type of bleed exhaust, capable of being used with an oscillator having a high quality factor, but which can also be used with a conventional oscillator.
  • EP 1,983,388 discloses an escapement for a timepiece comprising first and second impulse paddles integral with the balance cooperating directly with the teeth with which the exhaust mobile is provided and a blocker driven periodically by the balance, this blocker being provided with first and second rest paddles arranged to cooperate with the teeth of the exhaust mobile.
  • the invention relates to an escape mechanism as defined in the claims.
  • an exhaust mechanism according to a first embodiment of the invention.
  • the function of the escapement is to count and maintain the oscillations of the regulating member, in this case a balance 10, associated with a return spring, of the spiral or other type.
  • the exhaust mechanism comprises an escape wheel 12 intended to receive energy from an energy source, a barrel spring for example. Energy is supplied in the form of a rotary torque tending to put the escape wheel 12 in rotation.
  • the escapement mechanism according to the invention is a direct escapement and the escapement wheel 12 is arranged so as to directly supply a portion of energy to the balance 10, by cooperating with a pin 14 or an ellipse secured to the balance 10.
  • the exhaust mechanism according to the invention also comprises a locking member 16 intended to cooperate with the escape wheel 12 for block its rotation. As will be understood later, this rotation is intermittently blocked, which makes it possible to temporarily release the torque supplied by the energy source.
  • the locking member 16 is an intermediate part, of the rocker type, comprising a rest pallet 18 intended to block the rotation of the escapement wheel 12.
  • the rocker is held elastically against a stop 20 under the action of a spring 21, in a waiting position.
  • the rest pallet 18 is in the race of the teeth of the escape wheel 12 which, under the action of the torque transmitted by the energy source, comes to stop on the rest pallet 18. It It is within the capacity of a person skilled in the art to determine the conformations of the teeth of the escape wheel 12 and of the rest pallet 18, in order to optimize the interactions between these elements. It should be noted, however, that the escape wheel 12 can be active on different levels.
  • the escape wheel 12 has arms 12a defining a first plane and at the end of which the teeth 12b are arranged, arranged in a different plane.
  • the arms 12a of the escape wheel 12 are located in the plane of the pin 14 of the balance 10 and the teeth 12b in the plane of the locking member 16.
  • the exhaust mechanism according to the invention also comprises a trigger wheel 22 rotatably mounted and arranged to cooperate directly or indirectly with the escape wheel 12, in order to release it.
  • the axis of the trigger wheel is distinct from the axis of the balance wheel.
  • the trigger wheel 22 is mounted coaxially and integral in rotation with a trigger cam 24 intended to cooperate periodically with the intermediate piece, via a release pallet 26 that the intermediate piece comprises.
  • the triggering cam 24 comprises teeth (in this case 3), arranged to cooperate with the release pallet 26 and cause the escape wheel 12 to be released from the rest pallet 18.
  • the trigger wheel 22 is mounted to rotate freely on its axis. It is positioned by a jumper 28, which also makes it possible to regulate the rotation by steps of the trigger wheel 22.
  • the escape mechanism comprises an elastic pawl 30 intended to be mounted on the balance 10.
  • This pawl 30 comprises a finger 32 capable of cooperating with the trigger wheel 22 during pendulum oscillations 10.
  • a stud 34 is arranged so that the pawl 30 clicks during alternations in one direction (counterclockwise on the figure 1 ), and that the pawl 30 pushes the trigger wheel 22 in the other direction (alternating clockwise on the figure 1 ).
  • a person skilled in the art can envisage various types of unidirectional drive, such as pawls of various shapes or even a pin shaped to exert an efficient motor action only for alternations in one direction.
  • the elastic pawl 30 actuates the trigger wheel 22 once to drive it in rotation. This rotation is one step, under the action of the jumper 28.
  • the escape wheel 12 is released periodically, in this case, when the trigger cam 24 cooperates with the intermediate piece. The escape wheel 12 can then give a direct impulse to the balance 10.
  • the escape wheel 12 is at rest, bearing on the rest pallet 18, the intermediate piece being positioned against the stop 20 by the action of the spring 21, not shown in this figure.
  • the balance 10 is alternating clockwise and the elastic pawl 30 pushes one of the teeth of the trigger wheel 22, which rotates without actuating anything at the trigger cam 24 in this figure.
  • the jumper 28 positions the trigger wheel 22 after the drive by the elastic pawl 30.
  • the trigger cam 24 is in the position illustrated on the figure 3 , able to cooperate with the release pallet 26 of the intermediate piece. Under the action of the triggering cam 24, the intermediate part pivots, which releases the escape wheel 12 from the rest pallet 18.
  • the arm 12a of the tooth 12b of the escapement wheel 12 which has just been released then gives an impulse to the balance 10 by pushing the pin 14.
  • the intermediate piece returns to its initial position against the stop 20 under the action of the spring 21.
  • the rotation of the escape wheel 12 continues, driven by the energy source.
  • the next arm 12a falls on the rest pallet 18 ( fig. 5 ) and the escape wheel 12 returns to the position of the figure 2 .
  • the figure 10 proposes a variant of this first embodiment, in which the locking member 16, more particularly the intermediate part of the rocker type, is not resiliently held in its standby position, but it is brought back into this position by the action of an additional arm 40, arranged to cooperate with a positioning cam integral with the trigger wheel.
  • an additional arm 40 arranged to cooperate with a positioning cam integral with the trigger wheel.
  • the trigger cam 24 which also plays the role of positioning cam, but the two functions could be made by two separate cams, coaxial and linked in rotation. After the release operated by a first tooth from the actuating cam, another tooth cooperates with the additional arm 40 to return the rocker to its standby position.
  • the figure 7 shows a second embodiment of the invention, in which the blocking member 16 is disposed on the trigger wheel 22. More particularly, the blocking member 16 is formed by a stud 34 projecting from the wheel trigger 22. The stud 34 is arranged to cooperate with the escape wheel 12, more particularly with its teeth, in order to block it in rotation.
  • the trigger wheel 22 is positioned by a jumper 28 cooperating with a structure 36, called positioning structure, which comprises the trigger wheel 22.
  • the jumper 28 and the structure 36 are configured so that the jumper 28 returns the trigger wheel 22 to a single predefined position, after actuation by the elastic pawl 30, according to an oscillatory rotation.
  • the angular sector along which the jumper 28 and the positioning structure 36 cooperate is greater than the angular travel traveled by the trigger wheel 22 when it is actuated by the pawl 30.
  • the trigger wheel 22 comprises one, in this case, a single tooth 22a, intended to cooperate with the elastic pawl 30 carried by the pendulum 10.
  • the concept of tooth more generally includes a portion d drive, capable of receiving a driving action from the pawl 30.
  • the jumper 28 is always in cooperation with the positioning structure 36 when the pawl 30 escapes from the tooth 22a of the trigger wheel 22.
  • the jumper 28 exerts a force on the positioning structure 36 which has the effect of returning the trigger wheel 22 to its initial position, by rotating it counterclockwise (always with reference to the figure 7 ).
  • the rotation of the trigger wheel 22 was sufficient to allow the pad 34 to release the escape wheel 12.
  • the arm 12a which has just been released can then transmit an impulse to the balance 10, via the ankle 14.
  • the Figures 8 and 9 propose another embodiment, derived from the embodiment of the figure 7 .
  • the blocking member 16 is always disposed on the trigger wheel 22.
  • the blocking member 16 is this time formed by a plurality of studs 34, projecting and distributed over the trigger wheel 22.
  • the trigger wheel 22 is arranged to be rotated in a continuous direction, as in the first embodiment. It therefore has a toothing or a series of drive portions, over its entire periphery.
  • the jumper 28 ensures the positioning of the trigger wheel 22 at each step.
  • each pad 34 extends opposite a plurality of teeth of the trigger wheel, preferably by forming an arc of a circle, advantageously positioned in a peripheral zone of the trigger wheel 22.
  • the number of pads 34 is reduced compared to the figure 8 and the angular sector covered by them is increased.
  • a person skilled in the art can adjust the ratio between the number N of teeth of the trigger wheel 22 and the number k of studs 34.
  • k is an integer ⁇ 1 and less than N / 2.
  • an innovative escape mechanism in particular in that it implements a trigger wheel 22, movable in rotation either in a continuous direction, or in an oscillatory rotation.
  • this escape mechanism can be used with any type of oscillator. It is however particularly advantageous to be used with a high quality factor oscillator, comprising a pivot as proposed in the document.
  • PCT / EP2015 / 065884 filed in the name of the plaintiff.
  • a timepiece pivot pivotally connects around a pivot axis a first part with a second part.
  • the pivot comprises a blade provided with a wire, integral with one of the first or second parts and parallel to the axis of the pivot, and a support zone integral with the other of the first and second parts and against which the blade wire is in support, the contact points of the blade and the support area being substantially located on the axis of the pivot.
  • the pivot comprises means arranged to keep the blade in abutment against the support zone.
  • the median plane of the blade passing through the wire defines a blade plane. In normal operating mode, said means are arranged so that the first and second parts are not free to translate one with reference to the other in the direction orthogonal to the axis of the pivot contained in the plane of blade.
