Description

Domaine de l'inventionField of the invention

L'invention concerne un mécanisme d'affichage sonore d'horlogerie à répétition chronographe pour l'affichage sonore, par un mécanisme de sonnerie, d'une durée mesurée par un mécanisme de chronographe comportant un mécanisme de commande comprenant une commande agencée pour être pivotée sous l'action d'un poussoir de départ de chronographe, ledit mécanisme de sonnerie comportant une commande d'armage agencée pour entraîner une crémaillère pour mouvoir un bloc de sonnerie comportant un pignon de crémaillère solidaire d'un rochet de sonnerie, pour mouvoir une pièce de sonnerie pour la lecture de la grandeur concernée et déclencher une sonnerie correspondante.The invention relates to a chronograph repeating sound display mechanism for the sound display, by a striking mechanism, of a duration measured by a chronograph mechanism comprising a control mechanism comprising a control arranged to be pivoted. under the action of a chronograph starting pusher, said striking mechanism comprising a winding control arranged to drive a rack for moving a striking block comprising a rack pinion integral with a striking ratchet, to move a ringing piece for reading the quantity concerned and triggering a corresponding ringing tone.

L'invention concerne encore une pièce d'horlogerie, notamment une montre, comportant un tel mécanisme d'affichage sonore.The invention also relates to a timepiece, in particular a watch, comprising such a sound display mechanism.

L'invention concerne le domaine des mécanismes d'affichage d'horlogerie.The invention relates to the field of clockwork display mechanisms.

Arrière-plan de l'inventionBackground of the invention

Certains affichages de pièces d'horlogerie sont parfois difficiles à lire, en particulier quand la pièce d'horlogerie est une montre de petites dimensions, comme une montre dame, ou encore une montre compliquée, comportant un grand nombre d'affichages, chacun occupant alors une surface nécessairement restreinte, ou venant en superposition d'autres afficheurs, ce qui peut rendre l'interprétation imprécise pour l'utilisateur, ce qui est paradoxal quand il s'agit d'une mesure de précision du temps.Certain displays of timepieces are sometimes difficult to read, in particular when the timepiece is a watch of small dimensions, such as a ladies' watch, or even a complicated watch, comprising a large number of displays, each then occupying a necessarily small area, or superimposed on other displays, which can make the interpretation imprecise for the user, which is paradoxical when it comes to a precise measurement of time.

La lecture d'un affichage peut encore être perturbée par une faible luminosité ambiante comme en plongée, ou dans certaines plages horaires de nuit ou de crépuscule, ou au contraire être perturbée par des éclairages parasites générateurs d'ombres rendant les indications illisibles, ou encore en raison d'une déficience visuelle de l'utilisateur ou de conditions particulières d'emploi, comme le vol de nuit ou certaines opérations particulières. C'est d'ailleurs la raison pour laquelle les horlogers du XVIIIème et du XIXème siècle ont développé les montres à sonnerie, au passage ou à répétition, ou encore les montres à tact permettant d'avoir une information tactile.Reading a display may still be disturbed by low ambient light, such as when diving, or in certain time slots at night or twilight, or on the contrary be disturbed by parasitic lighting that generates shadows making the indications unreadable, or even due to a visual impairment of the user or special conditions of use, such as night flight or certain special operations. This is also the reason why watchmakers of the 18th and 19th centuries developed striking, passing or repeating watches, or even tact watches allowing tactile information to be obtained.

La demande EP3495895 du même déposant décrit un mécanise de chronographe lié à mécanisme de sonnerie externe ou interne pour effectuer, en particulier à la demande, un affichage sonore d'une durée mesurée par le mécanisme de chronographe, ce mécanisme constitue une répétition chronographe. Quand le mécanisme de sonnerie est en marche, les râteaux de secondes et dizaines de secondes ainsi le palpeur des minutes peuvent se trouver dans la course des cames de secondes, dizaines de secondes et minutes. Si on venait à enclencher le mécanisme de chronographe (START), on risquerait d'arrêter le mouvement, avec un fort risque de casse. C'est pourquoi il est nécessaire d'empêcher qu'on puisse enclencher le mécanisme de chronographe pendant que le mécanisme de sonnerie est en marche.Requirement EP3495895 by the same applicant describes a chronograph mechanism linked to an external or internal striking mechanism to perform, in particularly on demand, a sound display of a duration measured by the chronograph mechanism, this mechanism constitutes a chronograph repeater. When the striking mechanism is in operation, the seconds and tens of seconds rakes as well as the minutes feeler may be in the course of the seconds, tens of seconds and minutes cams. If we were to engage the chronograph mechanism (START), there is a risk of stopping the movement, with a high risk of breakage. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent that the chronograph mechanism can be engaged while the striking mechanism is in operation.

Le brevet CH102A au nom de REBER décrit des perfectionnements apportés à la construction des mécanismes de répétition pour montres :

  • la bascule actionnant la répétition a son point de pivotement sur la platine près du centre de la montre, et non sur le pivot de la crémaillère, pour assurer un tirage plus doux de la targette de répétition ;
  • les deux marteaux pivotent sur le même tigeron, ce qui fait gagner beaucoup de place; il en résulte que pour une montre à répétition du calibre 19", par exemple, on peut utiliser les mêmes rouages que pour une montre ordinaire de 19", tandis que dans les répétitions antérieures les marteaux prenaient tant de place qu'on était obligé d'utiliser les rouages des montres ordinaires de 17" ce qui renchérissait la pièce ;
  • au lieu de placer sur le rochet de sonnerie une goupille à laquelle se croche une crémaillère portée par le levier de chute des quarts et actionnée par un petit ressort, une crémaillère est fixée sur le rochet de sonnerie, et le levier de chute des quarts comporte un crochet à talon formé de façon à ce qu'un seul fort ressort, fixé à la platine et s'appuyant sur le talon de ce crochet, serve tout à la fois à faire chuter le levier des quarts sur le colimaçon des quarts, et à produire l'accrochement du crochet à la crémaillère des quarts.
The CH102A patent in the name of REBER describes improvements made to the construction of repeating mechanisms for watches:
  • the lever actuating the repeater has its pivot point on the plate near the center of the watch, and not on the pivot of the rack, to ensure a smoother pulling of the repeater bolt;
  • the two hammers pivot on the same tigeron, which saves a lot of space; as a result, for a 19 "caliber repeater watch, for example, the same cogs can be used as for an ordinary 19" watch, while in previous repeats the hammers took up so much space that one had to 'use the cogs of ordinary 17 "watches which made the item more expensive;
  • instead of placing a pin on the striking ratchet to which is hooked a rack carried by the quarter drop lever and actuated by a small spring, a rack is attached to the striking ratchet, and the quarter drop lever has a heel hook formed so that a single strong spring, fixed to the plate and resting on the heel of this hook, simultaneously serves to make the quarter lever drop onto the quarter spiral, and to produce the attachment of the hook to the rack of the quarters.

Résumé de l'inventionSummary of the invention

L'invention se propose d'apporter une sécurité de fonctionnement à un mécanisme de répétition chronographe, couplant à un affichage visuel classique un affichage sonore, ou remplaçant un affichage visuel classique par un affichage sonore, pour prévenir tout enclenchement du mécanisme de chronographe pendant que le mécanisme de sonnerie fonctionne.The invention proposes to provide operating safety to a chronograph repeater mechanism, coupling a conventional visual display to a sound display, or replacing a conventional visual display by an audio display, to prevent any engagement of the chronograph mechanism while the striking mechanism operates.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un mécanisme de répétition chronographe d'horlogerie selon la revendication 1.To this end, the invention relates to a watch chronograph repeating mechanism according to claim 1.

L'invention concerne encore une pièce d'horlogerie, notamment une montre, comportant un tel mécanisme de répétition chronographe.The invention also relates to a timepiece, in particular a watch, comprising such a chronograph repeating mechanism.

EP3495895 of the same depositor. This chronograph repeater mechanism is designed to provide, after stopping at the end of a measurement of duration of a timed duration carried out by the chronograph mechanism 100, information relating to the timed duration, in particular in minutes and seconds, to a striking mechanism 1 included in the chronograph mechanism 100 or to which the chronograph mechanism 100 is juxtaposed, in particular to strike at least the minutes and seconds of the timed duration. This ringing mechanism 1 comprises the ringing control parts (in particular minutes and seconds, or even tens of seconds or other) necessary to ring at least the corresponding units of the timed duration.

Ce mécanisme d'affichage sonore 500 d'horlogerie à répétition chronographe permet l'affichage sonore, par un mécanisme de sonnerie 1, d'une durée mesurée par un mécanisme de chronographe 100.This sound display mechanism 500 of chronograph repeating clockwork enables the sound display, by a striking mechanism 1, of a duration measured by a chronograph mechanism 100.

Selon l'invention, ce mécanisme de sonnerie 1 comporte une commande d'armage 39, qui est agencée pour déclencher la lecture de la durée chronométrée sur les limaçons et cames, et pour entraîner une crémaillère 33 à rencontre de moyens de rappel élastique constituant des moyens moteurs du mécanisme de sonnerie 1, pour mouvoir un bloc de sonnerie comportant un pignon de crémaillère 31 solidaire d'un rochet de sonnerie 32, et pour mouvoir une pièce de sonnerie pour chaque came d'affichage pour la lecture de la grandeur concernée, par exemple pièce des minutes sur une came-limaçon des minutes, pièce des secondes sur une came-limaçon des secondes, pièce des dizaines de secondes sur une came des dizaines de secondes, ou similaire, et déclencher une sonnerie correspondante.According to the invention, this striking mechanism 1 comprises a winding control 39, which is arranged to trigger the reading of the timed duration on the stringers and cams, and to drive a rack 33 against elastic return means constituting motor means of the striking mechanism 1, for moving a striking unit comprising a rack pinion 31 integral with a striking ratchet 32, and for moving a striking part for each display cam for reading the quantity concerned, for example, a minute coin on a minutes cam, a seconds coin on a seconds cam, a tens of seconds coin on a tens of seconds cam, or the like, and trigger a corresponding bell.

Selon l'invention, ce mécanisme d'affichage sonore 500 comporte, entre le mécanisme de commande du mécanisme de chronographe 100 et la commande d'armage 39, un mécanisme de sécurité 40, qui est agencé pour, selon la position du mobile de sonnerie, et plus particulièrement mais non limitativement du pignon de crémaillère 31, autoriser ou non la course d'une commande 56, que comporte le mécanisme de commande du mécanisme de chronographe 100, et laquelle est agencée pour être pivotée sous l'action d'un poussoir de départ de chronographe 562.According to the invention, this sound display mechanism 500 comprises, between the control mechanism of the chronograph mechanism 100 and the winding control 39, a safety mechanism 40, which is arranged for, depending on the position of the striking mobile. , and more particularly but not limited to the rack pinion 31, authorize or not the travel of a control 56, which comprises the control mechanism of the chronograph mechanism 100, and which is arranged to be pivoted under the action of a chronograph start push-button 562.

Le mécanisme de chronographe 100 comporte classiquement des moyens de commande externes accessibles à l'utilisateur, tel que poussoir départ-arrêt, poussoir de retour à zéro, ou similaires, et notamment tels que décrits dans l'ouvrage l'ouvrage collectif « Théorie d'horlogerie » de MM. Reymondin, Monnier, Jeanneret, Pelaratti, édité par la FET (Fédération des écoles techniques) en Suisse, au chapitre 11. Pour la fonction départ-arrêt, ces moyens de commande externes entraînent en général une commande 56, qui tire ou pousse une came de commande 60, notamment une came pivotante, telle qu'une roue à colonnes 54, ou une came comportant une navette supérieure et une navette inférieure, ou autre.The chronograph mechanism 100 conventionally comprises external control means accessible to the user, such as a start-stop pushbutton, return to zero pushbutton, or the like, and in particular as described in the book. the collective work “Theory of horology” by MM. Reymondin, Monnier, Jeanneret, Pelaratti, published by the FET (Federation of technical schools) in Switzerland, in chapter 11. For the start-stop function, these external control means generally lead to a control 56, which pulls or pushes a cam control 60, in particular a pivoting cam, such as a column wheel 54, or a cam comprising an upper shuttle and a lower shuttle, or the like.

L'invention est applicable aussi bien à un chronographe mono-poussoir tel qu'illustré par les figures, utilisable pour déclencher les commandes de départ START, arrêt STOP, et remise à zéro RAZ, qu'à un mécanisme de chronographe à deux poussoirs, l'un pour marche-arrêt, l'autre pour la remise à zéro, selon la même logique, qui consiste à mouvoir, lors de l'actionnement manuel du mécanisme de sonnerie, un mécanisme d'isolement, comportant une bascule de sécurité exposée ci-après, agencée pour rendre impossible tout appui sur le poussoir unique, ou sur l'un quelconque des poussoirs, selon le cas, par interposition d'un plot sous chaque poussoir concerné.The invention is applicable both to a single-push-button chronograph as illustrated in the figures, which can be used to trigger the start commands START, stop STOP, and reset to zero, as well as to a chronograph mechanism with two push-buttons, one for on-off, the other for resetting, according to the same logic, which consists in moving, during manual actuation of the striking mechanism, an isolation mechanism, comprising an exposed safety latch below, arranged to make it impossible to press on the single push-button, or on any one of the push-buttons, as the case may be, by interposing a pad under each push-button concerned.

Plus particulièrement, le mécanisme de commande du mécanisme de chronographe 100 comporte un poussoir de départ de chronographe 562, agencé pour exercer un appui sur la commande 56, soumise au rappel d'un ressort de commande 58, et qui est une bascule qui pivote autour d'un axe de commande F. Dans la réalisation non limitative illustrée, cette commande 56 est munie d'un crochet 57, agencée pour manœuvrer le rochet 59 d'une came de commande 60, telle que roue à colonnes 54 dans la variante non limitative illustrée par les figures, ou came de commande, ou autre, laquelle came de commande 60 est maintenue en position par un sautoir 55, ou similaire. Le mécanisme de chronographe 100 comporte au moins un mobile d'affichage rotatif, tel que mobile des secondes ou mobile des minutes, qui est solidaire au moins en rotation d'une came d'affichage correspondante, dont le pourtour coopère avec le palpeur d'une pièce de sonnerie correspondante, que comporte le mécanisme de sonnerie 1, pour sonner une valeur numérique caractéristique d'une durée chronométrée mesurée par le mécanisme de chronographe 100.More particularly, the control mechanism of the chronograph mechanism 100 comprises a chronograph starting pusher 562, arranged to exert a support on the control 56, subjected to the return of a control spring 58, and which is a rocker which pivots around of a control axis F. In the non-limiting embodiment illustrated, this control 56 is provided with a hook 57, arranged to operate the ratchet 59 of a control cam 60, such as column wheel 54 in the variant not limitative illustrated by the figures, or control cam, or the like, which control cam 60 is held in position by a jumper 55, or the like. The chronograph mechanism 100 comprises at least one rotary display mobile, such as seconds mobile or minutes mobile, which is at least rotatably secured to a corresponding display cam, the periphery of which cooperates with the feeler of a corresponding striking part, which the striking mechanism 1 comprises, for striking a characteristic digital value of a timed duration measured by the chronograph mechanism 100.

Le mécanisme de sécurité 40 est agencé pour, selon la position du mobile de sonnerie, et plus particulièrement mais non limitativement du pignon de crémaillère 31, autoriser ou non la course de la commande 56. A cet effet, dans la variante illustrée par les figures, cette liaison mécanique de sécurité comporte une bascule de sécurité 41 montée pivotante sur un axe de sécurité E. Une première extrémité 44 de la bascule de sécurité 41 coopère en appui avec une came 310 à deux niveaux, inférieur 311 et supérieur 312, qui est solidaire du pignon de crémaillère 31, sous l'action d'un moyen de rappel élastique, notamment d'un ressort de sécurité 45. La deuxième extrémité 42 de cette bascule de sécurité 41 comporte un plot 43, qui est agencé pour s'interposer sur la trajectoire de la commande 56, selon la position angulaire de la bascule de sécurité 41 :

  • quand la sonnerie fonctionne, tel que visible sur les figures 2 et 4, le plot 43 s'oppose au pivotement de la commande 56 sous une pression effectuée par un utilisateur sur le poussoir de départ de chronographe 562 ;
  • quand la sonnerie ne fonctionne pas ou plus, tel que visible sur les figures 1, 3, et 4, le plot 43 ne s'oppose pas au pivotement de la commande 56 sous une pression effectuée par un utilisateur sur le poussoir de départ de chronographe 562, la figure 5 montre la position enfoncée du poussoir de départ de chronographe 562.
The safety mechanism 40 is arranged to, depending on the position of the striking mobile, and more particularly but not limited to the rack pinion 31, authorize or not the travel of the control 56. To this end, in the variant illustrated by the figures , this mechanical safety link has a safety lever 41 pivotally mounted on a safety pin E. A first end 44 of the safety lever 41 cooperates in bearing with a cam 310 at two levels, lower 311 and upper 312, which is integral with the rack pinion 31, under the action of an elastic return means, in particular of a safety spring 45. The second end 42 of this safety lever 41 comprises a stud 43, which is arranged to interpose on the path of the control 56, according to the angular position of the safety lever 41:
  • when the ringer is on, as seen on the figures 2 and 4 , the stud 43 opposes the pivoting of the control 56 under pressure exerted by a user on the chronograph start push-button 562;
  • when the ringer does not or no longer work, as seen on the figures 1 , 3, and 4 , the stud 43 does not oppose the pivoting of the control 56 under a pressure exerted by a user on the chronograph start push-button 562, the figure 5 shows the depressed position of chronograph start pusher 562.

On comprend que cette configuration permet de prévenir tout risque d'arrêt du mouvement ou de casse : l'utilisateur ne peut enclencher le mécanisme de chronographe 100 que quand il en a le droit, c'est-à-dire quand le mécanisme de sonnerie 1 est inopérant.It will be understood that this configuration makes it possible to prevent any risk of stopping the movement or of breakage: the user can only engage the chronograph mechanism 100 when he has the right to do so, that is to say when the striking mechanism 1 is inoperative.

L'invention peut mettre en oeuvre un mécanisme de sonnerie plus complexe que ceux exposés dans l'ouvrage cité en référence, notamment avec plusieurs sonneries ou mélodies comme sur les demandes de brevets au nom de la Société BLANCPAIN : sonnerie classique ou un jeu de mélodie, mécanisme de sonnerie à plusieurs étages avec des pièces à râteaux différents.The invention can implement a more complex ringing mechanism than those exposed in the work cited by reference, in particular with several ringing tones or melodies as in the patent applications in the name of the BLANCPAIN Company: classic ringing or a melody set. , multistage striking mechanism with parts with different rakes.

L'invention concerne encore une pièce d'horlogerie 1000, notamment une montre, comportant un tel mécanisme d'affichage 500.The invention also relates to a timepiece 1000, in particular a watch, comprising such a display mechanism 500.

Plus particulièrement, le mécanisme de sonnerie 1 est intégré audit mécanisme d'affichage 500.More particularly, the striking mechanism 1 is integrated with said display mechanism 500.

Si le mécanisme d'affichage sonore décrit ci-dessus est conçu comme un doublage d'un affichage visuel classique, il peut également se substituer à ce dernier.If the sound display mechanism described above is designed as a duplication of a conventional visual display, it can also replace the latter.

L'invention permet d'ajouter une sécurité utile à un mécanisme d'affichage de type répétition chronographe, qui combine un mécanisme de chronographe et un mécanisme de sonnerie, qui sont connus pour être les mécanismes horlogers les plus complexes et les plus délicats, et qu'il est nécessaire de protéger contre toute manœuvre dangereuse.The invention allows useful security to be added to a display mechanism of the chronograph repeater type, which combines a chronograph mechanism and a striking mechanism, which are known to be the most popular horological mechanisms. more complex and delicate, and that it is necessary to protect against any dangerous maneuver.
