Description
L'invention concerne une pièce d'horlogerie comportant au moins un mouvement comportant des moyens principaux de stockage d'énergie pour l'alimentation au moins d'un résonateur et agencé pour entraîner en continu au moins un mobile de sortie comportant au moins une dent, ladite pièce d'horlogerie comportant encore au moins un mécanisme d'affichage agencé pour être commandé par un dit mouvement ou par une action d'un utilisateur, ledit mécanisme d'affichage étant alimenté en énergie au moins par lesdits moyens principaux de stockage d'énergie au travers dudit mobile de sortie, et ledit mécanisme d'affichage comportant des moyens de rappel élastique à armement progressif sous l'action dudit mobile de sortie et agencés pour modifier l'affichage à des instants commandés par un dit mouvement ou par une action d'un utilisateur, par un désarmement desdits moyens de rappel élastique, le cycle d'armement et de désarmement desdits moyens de rappel élastique correspondant à une variation du couple consommé par ledit mécanisme d'affichage au niveau dudit mobile de sortie, lequel comporte au moins une dent agencée pour soulever une bascule intermédiaire de déclenchement par le mouvement, que comporte ledit mécanisme d'affichage.The invention relates to a timepiece comprising at least one movement comprising main energy storage means for supplying at least one resonator and arranged to continuously drive at least one output mobile having at least one tooth said timepiece further comprising at least one display mechanism arranged to be controlled by a said movement or by an action of a user, said display mechanism being powered at least by said main storage means; energy through said mobile output, and said display mechanism comprising means of elastic return with progressive arming under the action of said mobile output and arranged to change the display at times controlled by a said movement or by a action of a user, by disarming said elastic return means, the arming and disarming cycle of said corresponding elastic return means a variation of the torque consumed by said display mechanism at said output mobile, which comprises at least one tooth arranged to lift an intermediate flip-flop by the movement, that includes said display mechanism.
L'invention concerne encore un mécanisme additionnel pour une pièce d'horlogerie comportant un mécanisme de sonnerie pour l'exécution d'une sonnerie au passage et/ou de répétition minutes, et un mouvement comportant des moyens principaux de stockage d'énergie pour l'alimentation au moins d'un résonateur et agencé pour entraîner en continu au moins un mobile de sortie comportant au moins une dent, et agencé pour déclencher le fonctionnement de sonneries au passage.The invention also relates to an additional mechanism for a timepiece comprising a striking mechanism for executing a ringer during passage and / or minute repetition, and a movement comprising main energy storage means for a timepiece. supplying at least one resonator and arranged to continuously drive at least one output mobile having at least one tooth, and arranged to trigger the operation of ringtones in passing.
L'invention concerne encore une telle pièce d'horlogerie comportant au moins un tel mécanisme additionnel.The invention also relates to such a timepiece comprising at least one such additional mechanism.
L'invention concerne le domaine des pièces d'horlogerie, et plus particulièrement des montres, comportant un mécanisme de sonnerie, ou de jeu de mélodie, comme des boîtes à musique.The invention relates to the field of timepieces, and more particularly watches, comprising a striking mechanism, or melody game, such as music boxes.
Dans un mécanisme de sonnerie d'horlogerie, la consommation de couple est irrégulière. Une quantité important de couple est consommée à chaque quart d'heure, mais un creux de consommation intervient jusqu'à la préparation de la sonnerie suivante. Ceci se traduit par des à-coups dans le rouage de finissage, et aussi par une variation d'amplitude du résonateur du mouvement d'horlogerie.In a clockwork mechanism, the torque consumption is irregular. A significant amount of torque is consumed every quarter of an hour, but a low consumption occurs until the preparation of the next ring. This results in jerks in the finishing gear, and also in a variation in amplitude of the resonator of the watch movement.
L'invention se propose de mettre au point une meilleure régulation, en diminuant les variations de consommation de couple du mouvement, sans toutefois les annuler, en raison des plus fortes consommations de couple correspondant aux sonneries de l'heure pleine.The invention proposes to develop a better regulation, by reducing the torque consumption variations of the movement, without however canceling them, because of the higher torque consumptions corresponding to the ringtones of the full hour.
A cet effet, l'invention concerne une pièce d'horlogerie selon la revendication 1.For this purpose, the invention relates to a timepiece according to claim 1.
De par sa simplicité, mais qui n'est effective que par la possibilité de réglages fins très précis qu'offre l'invention, celle-ci autorise aussi l'optimisation de mécanismes de pièces d'horlogerie existants, et l'invention concerne aussi un mécanisme additionnel selon la revendication 8, qui peut être rajouté à une pièce d'horlogerie existante.By its simplicity, but which is only effective by the possibility of very precise fine adjustments offered by the invention, it also allows the optimization of mechanisms of existing timepieces, and the invention also relates to an additional mechanism according to claim 8, which can be added to an existing timepiece.
L'invention concerne encore une pièce d'horlogerie comportant au moins un tel mécanisme additionnel.The invention also relates to a timepiece comprising at least one such additional mechanism.

Ce mécanisme de sonnerie 100 comporte encore au moins un mobile entraîneur de sonnerie 2, tel qu'exposé notamment au chapitre « grande sonnerie » de l'ouvrage « Les montres compliquées » et visible notamment en figure 40 de cet ouvrage. Ce mobile entraîneur de sonnerie 2 comporte classiquement un rochet de détente 22 et un pignon de crémaillère.This
Le rochet de détente 22 est agencé pour coopérer avec un cliquet principal 85 pour l'exécution d'une sonnerie au passage, ou avec un cliquet de répétition minutes, non illustré sur les figures, quand le mécanisme de sonnerie 100 comporte une répétition minutes.The
Plus particulièrement le mécanisme de sonnerie 100 comporte un levier de débrayage de sonnerie 55, qui est agencé pour éloigner du mobile de sonnerie 2 le cliquet principal 85, et le cliquet de déclenchement de répétition minutes quand le mécanisme de sonnerie 100 en comporte.More particularly, the
Ce levier de débrayage de sonnerie 55 comporte une bascule de déclenchement par le mouvement 50, qui porte le cliquet principal de sonnerie 85 et un ressort de poussée 52 qui prend appui sur le cliquet principal de sonnerie 85.This striking
Le mobile de sortie 3 comporte au moins une dent agencée pour soulever une bascule intermédiaire de déclenchement par le mouvement 70, que comporte le mécanisme de sonnerie 100, et dont le pivotement entraîne le pivotement de la bascule de déclenchement par le mouvement 50.The
Selon l'invention, le mécanisme de sonnerie 100 comporte un sautoir lisseur de couple 900, agencé pour coopérer avec le mobile de sortie 3, soit directement comme illustré par les figures, soit au travers d'un rouage intermédiaire. Un premier ressort 902 tend à ramener ce sautoir lisseur de couple 900, ou le dernier mobile de son rouage intermédiaire s'il y a lieu, en appui sur le mobile de sortie 3, de façon à consommer, quand la bascule intermédiaire de déclenchement par le mouvement 70 n'est pas en prise avec le mobile de sortie 3, un couple équivalent à celui que consomme la bascule intermédiaire de déclenchement par le mouvement 70 quand elle est en prise avec le mobile de sortie 3, de façon à éviter des à-coups sur le rouage de finissage du mouvement 200 et à prévenir toute variation d'amplitude du résonateur.According to the invention, the
La description qui suit n'expose que le cas préféré de la liaison directe entre le sautoir lisseur de couple 900 et le mobile de sortie 3, l'homme du métier n'aura aucune difficulté à interposer des mobiles intermédiaires, notamment si l'encombrement l'exige. Toutefois le dernier mobile agencé pour coopérer directement avec le mobile de sortie doit alors comporter les caractéristiques particulières exposées plus loin.The following description sets forth only the preferred case of the direct connection between the
Plus particulièrement, le mécanisme de sonnerie 100 comporte un excentrique 901 prenant appui sur un bras 903 du sautoir lisseur de couple 900 pour régler la position du sautoir lisseur de couple 900, pour que le couple consommé par le sautoir lisseur de couple 900 et celui consommé par la bascule intermédiaire de déclenchement par le mouvement 70 se superposent le moins possible.More particularly, the
Plus particulièrement, le sautoir lisseur de couple 900 comporte une tête polygonale, comportant une surface principale d'appui 906 dont la position est réglable par cet excentrique 901, séparée par une arête 905 d'une deuxième surface d'appui 904, laquelle est prévue pour être ajustée en position en usine par enlèvement de matière, après la mise en place du mouvement 200 et du mécanisme de sonnerie 100 dans la pièce d'horlogerie 2000 et avant la mise en service de celle-ci, et de façon à éviter une libération anticipée du sautoir lisseur de couple 900 et à prévenir ainsi tout rebat au niveau du résonateur, et à éviter une libération trop tardive du sautoir lisseur de couple 900 et à prévenir ainsi toute perte d'amplitude au niveau du résonateur.More particularly, the
De façon avantageuse, la bascule intermédiaire de déclenchement par le mouvement 70 comporte un bec 72 élastique agencé pour coopérer avec une dent du mobile de sortie 3. Ce bec 72 peut, selon l'effort qui lui est appliqué, être à distance d'un bras 75 de la bascule intermédiaire de déclenchement par le mouvement 70, ou bien en appui sur ce bras 75.Advantageously, the intermediate flip-flop by the
Plus particulièrement, la bascule de déclenchement par le mouvement 50 est soumise au couple de rappel d'un deuxième ressort 501 prenant appui sur un pion 502 qu'elle comporte.More particularly, the flip-flop by the
Les figures illustrent une réalisation particulière, non limitative, du mobile de sortie 3, sous la forme non limitative d'une étoile 130 de déclenchement de sonnerie par le mouvement comportant quatre dents, de façon à pouvoir soulever, à chaque quart d'heure, la bascule intermédiaire de déclenchement par le mouvement 70.The figures illustrate a particular embodiment, not limiting, of the

Dans une réalisation particulière, la came 133 comporte une alternance de rayons concentriques 1330 et de rayons ascendants 1331, et est de type escargot, avec un saut brusque entre son plus grand rayon et son plus petit rayon, tel qu'illustré par les
Plus particulièrement, la roue intermédiaire 132 et la première roue 131 sont choisies de façon à ce que chaque passage d'une dent à l'autre sur l'étoile 130 de déclenchement de sonnerie par le mouvement corresponde à un changement de rayon concentrique 1330.More particularly, the
Cette variante peut, encore, être agencée sous d'autres formes, et notamment :
- l'appui sur la came peut se faire par l'intermédiaire d'un galet sur la bascule ;
- la forme de la came peut varier, et en particulier en utilisant la possibilité de restituer du couple sur le
mobile de sortie 3, avec une pente descendante au lieu d'une pente descendante.
- the support on the cam can be done by means of a roller on the rocker;
- the shape of the cam can vary, and in particular by using the possibility of restoring torque on the
output mobile 3, with a downward slope instead of a downward slope.
On comprend que l'extrapolation de l'invention permet de gérer ainsi différents types d'échange de couple, prise de couple, ou restitution de couple, à des instants choisis. Cette fonctionnalité est particulièrement intéressante pour de nombreux mécanismes horlogers, notamment du type consommant périodiquement un couple important et ensuite plus rien, le tout durant un laps de temps assez court, de l'ordre de l'heure ou moins.It is understood that the extrapolation of the invention thus makes it possible to manage different types of torque exchange, torque pick-up, or torque recovery at selected times. This feature is particularly interesting for many watchmaking mechanisms, especially of the type periodically consuming a large torque and then nothing, all during a relatively short period of time of the order of the hour or less.
Illustré ici dans le cas particulièrement avantageux d'une grande sonnerie, le mécanisme selon l'invention peut également être utilisé, de façon nullement limitative, dans les mécanismes suivants, pour lesquels le constructeur horloger doit gérer de gros écarts de couple, qui conduisent habituellement à des surdimensionnements de certains composants et à une dégradation du rendement énergétique :
- seconde rétrograde ;
- seconde sautante ;
- minute rétrograde ;
- minute sautante ;
- heure rétrograde ;
- heure sautante ;
- chronographe ;
- compte à rebours ;
- automate ;
- second retrograde;
- jumping second;
- retrograde minute;
- jumping minute;
- retrograde hour;
- jumping hour;
- chronograph;
- countdown ;
- automaton;

Le mécanisme additionnel 1000 comporte un premier ressort 902, fixé à la platine ou au pont, et qui tend à ramener le sautoir lisseur de couple 900 en appui discontinu sur le mobile de sortie 3, soit directement, soit au travers d'un rouage intermédiaire, de façon à consommer autant de couple du mouvement 200 que le mécanisme d'affichage en consomme quand il en consomme, pendant les phases où le mécanisme d'affichage ne consomme pas de couple du mouvement 200.According to the invention, this
Et le mécanisme additionnel 1000 comporte avantageusement un excentrique 901, qui est agencé pour être fixé sur la platine ou le pont, et pour prendre appui sur un bras 903 du sautoir lisseur de couple 900 pour régler la position du sautoir lisseur de couple 900, pour que le couple consommé par le sautoir lisseur de couple 900 et celui consommé par le mécanisme d'affichage se superposent le moins possible.And the
