Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of watchmaking. More particularly, it relates to a clockwork movement provided with a regulating member mounted in a pivoting mobile support.
  • the document EP2729849 proposed a vortex in which the regulating member is mounted in a cage in a conventional manner, the cage being pivoted inside a first ring, itself rotated inside. of a second ring, in order to form indeed a triaxial vortex with limited angular displacement for the second and third axes.
  • the cage which performs complete rotations, is thus forced to move in a compound motion that resembles the precession of a gyroscope. Since the angular displacements around the second and third axes are not complete, the necessary height for the system can be significantly reduced, and the complexity can also be reduced.
  • a main object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art, by proposing a watch movement that allows to present chronometric benefits, without requiring a significant thickness in the movement, and without using the cog as a power take-off for certain movements of the regulating member.
  • the present invention more particularly relates to a watch movement comprising at least one motor member, consisting for example of one or more motor springs housed in one or more barrels, of one or more electric motors. , and a regulating member such as a sprung balance member associated with an escapement, a tourbil lon, a carousel, a flywheel or the like, kinematically connected to said at least one a motor unit via a finishing train to maintain it in a known manner.
  • the at least one drive member is in kinematic connection with a first power take-off which drives the finishing gear train (the latter thereby starting with this power take-off).

  • the movable support is arranged to be pivoted along at least one axis between said limit pivot angles in a predetermined sequence by means of a pivot control device arranged to pivot said movable support in a gated movement. comes.
  • a control train connects said pivot control device to a second power take-off (where the control gear train begins), distinct from the first, and which is in kinematic connection with said at least one motor unit.
  • the pivot control train is therefore distinct from said work train, at least at the level of the torque transmission between the work train and the work train.
  • the pivoting of the mobile support is not driven by a torque emanating from the work train, and thus do not represent additional torque load on the latter, which minimizes, or eliminates, the disturbances on the wheel due to these pivoting.
  • the movement of the mobile support does not represent any load on the latter, and therefore can not influence the progress of the regulating member.
  • the fact that the mobile support performs a back and forth pivoting requires less height in the movement than a vortex whose / a cage pivots about an axis perpendicular (or almost) to the axis. rotation of the balance.
  • a larger regulating organ can therefore be used in the case of such a vortex, which improves the isochronism, while keeping the "whirlwind" or even "double vortex” effect, according to the construction of the vortex.

  • the two wheels mentioned can thus be totally isolated from one another at the torque transmission, each having its own source of energy.
  • the slewing control train therefore does not contribute to the disarming of the motor unit used by the gear train.

Movements of the movable support can therefore be synchronized with the running of the regulating member, without requiring transfer of torque between the work train and the slewing control train.
  • the pivot control train can be autonomous, or can be triggered and / or blocked manually.
  • said control device comprises a speed controller, such as a flywheel, a finned flywheel, a sprung balance or the like.
  • This speed controller is provided with at least one brake, such as a rocker stop, a friction brake or the like.
  • This brake can thus be used to block and trigger the operation of the pivot control wheel in a simple manner.

  • This differential is used to isolate the gear train from the pivoting of the mobile support, in order to avoid torque variations due to these.
  • the pivoting speed of the movable support can also be chosen optimally because the counter-force generated by the movements of the regulating member is canceled and therefore has no influence on the work train.

Changes to the movement to control the mobile support 1 1 according to other sequences of pivoting are within the reach of the skilled person. More generically, the periods of displacement of the movable support 1 1 are advantageously longer than the stopping periods, which reduces the impact experienced by the various components of the pivot mechanism.
