Definitions

  • the invention relates to a clockwork regulating mechanism, comprising, arranged on a plate, a resonator mechanism with a quality factor Q, and an escape mechanism which is subjected to a torque of motor means which a movement comprises, said movement.
  • resonator mechanism comprising an inertial element arranged to oscillate relative to said plate, said inertial element being subjected to the action of elastic return means fixed directly or indirectly to said plate, and said inertial element being arranged to cooperate with a mobile of exhaust that said exhaust mechanism comprises.
  • the invention also relates to a clockwork movement comprising motor means, and such a regulating mechanism, the escape mechanism of which is subjected to the torque of these motor means.
  • the invention also relates to a watch, more particularly a mechanical watch, comprising such a movement, and / or such a regulating mechanism.
  • the invention relates to the field of clockwork regulation mechanisms, in particular for watches.
  • the escapement for its part, fulfills two main functions, namely to maintain the comings and goings of the resonator, and to count these comings and goings. This escapement must be robust, not disturb the balance far from its point of equilibrium, resist shocks, avoid jamming the movement (for example during a reversal), and therefore constitutes a key component of the watch movement.
  • a sprung balance oscillates with an amplitude of 300 °, and the lift angle is 50 °.
  • the angle of lift is the angle of the balance on which the fork of the anchor interacts with the pin, also called the ellipse, of the balance.
  • the lift angle is distributed on either side of the balance point of the balance (+/- 25 °), and the anchor tilts +/- 7 °.
  • the Swiss lever escapement belongs to the category of free escapements, because, beyond the half-angle of lift, the resonator no longer touches the anchor. This characteristic is essential for obtaining good chronometric properties.
  • a mechanical resonator comprises an inertial element, a guide and an elastic return element.
  • the balance constitutes the inertial element
  • the hairspring constitutes the elastic return element.
  • the balance is guided in rotation by pivots, which rotate in plain ruby bearings.
  • the associated friction is the source of energy losses and operating disturbances.
  • the losses are characterized by the quality factor Q of the resonator.
  • the flexible blades generally used in such rotating flexible guides are more rigid than balance springs. This leads to working at a higher frequency, for example of the order of 20 Hz, and at a lower amplitude, for example from 10 ° to 20 °. At first glance, this does not seem compatible with a Swiss lever type escapement.
  • An operating amplitude compatible with a resonator with rotary flexible guide, in particular with blades, is typically 6 ° to 15 °. This results in a certain value of the angle of lift, which must be twice the minimum operating amplitude.
  • the resonator must have an acceptable size, compatible with its housing in a clockwork movement, it is not possible to date to achieve a flexible rotary guide of very large diameter, nor with several pairs of levels of blades, which would allow in theory, by placing successive flexible guides in series, to obtain an amplitude of oscillation of the inertial element of several tens of degrees: it is therefore advisable to use a flexible guide with one or two levels of blades at most , for example as known from the document EP2894520 in the name of NIVAROX SA, or the document EP3035126 on behalf of THE SWATCH GROUP RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT Ltd.
  • the effect of choosing a flexible rotary guide is that the amplitude of the balance is reduced, and that we can no longer use a traditional Swiss lever escapement, which requires an amplitude of the balance clearly greater than half. - lifting angle, that is to say greater than 25 °.
  • a regulator comprising a resonator with flexible guidance therefore requires a particular escapement mechanism, with a dimensioning different from what would be a conventional Swiss lever escapement designed to operate with the same inertial element of the resonator.
  • the present invention has the overall objective of increasing the power reserve and the precision of current mechanical watches. To achieve this objective, the invention combines a resonator with rotating flexible guidance with an lever escapement optimized to maintain acceptable dynamic losses and limit the chronometric effect of the release.
  • the invention relates to a regulating mechanism according to claim 1.
  • Such resonators with rotating flexible guide have very high quality factors, for example of the order of 3000, compared with a quality factor of 200 for a conventional watch.
  • the dynamic losses kinetic energy of the escape mobile and of the anchor at the end of the pulse
  • These losses can therefore become too great, with a high quality factor, in a relative level with respect to the energy transmitted to the balance.
  • a plate pin secured to the inertial element must penetrate by a certain amount, called penetration, into the opening of the anchor fork.
  • this platform pin must then be able, after release of the pin, to be kept at a certain distance, called security, from the horn of the fork opposite to that on which it was in contact. immediately before its release.
  • the invention also seeks to impose a particular relationship, according to claim 4, between the dimensions of the anchor fork, the penetration and safety values, and the values of the angles of lift of the anchor and of the inertial element, to ensure that the pin retracts correctly from the fork, once the half-angle of lift has been completed.
  • the invention also relates to a clockwork movement comprising motor means, and such a regulating mechanism, the escape mechanism of which is subjected to the torque of these motor means.
  • the invention also relates to a watch, more particularly a mechanical watch, comprising such a movement, and / or such a regulating mechanism.
  • the invention combines a resonator with rotating flexible guidance, in order to increase the power reserve and precision, with an lever escapement optimized to maintain acceptable dynamic losses and limit the chronometric effect of the release.

  • the analytical model of the system has thus shown that, if we want to limit the dynamic losses, a particular condition links the inertia of the anchor, the inertia of the inertial element, the quality factor of the resonator, and the angles of lifting of the anchor and the inertial element: for a dynamic loss coefficient ⁇ , the inertia I B of the inertial element 2 with respect to the main axis DP on the one hand, and the inertia I A of the anchor 7 with respect to the secondary axis DS on the other hand, are such that the ratio I B / I A is greater than 2Q. ⁇ 2 /( ⁇ . ⁇ . ⁇ 2 ), where a is the Anchor lift angle that corresponds to the maximum angular travel of the anchor fork 8.

  • the resonator lift angle ⁇ which is an overall angle, taken on either side of the rest position, is less than twice the amplitude angle from which the maximum deviates. inertial element 2 with respect to a rest position, in a single direction of its movement.
  • the amplitude angle, from which the inertial element 2 deviates as far as possible from a rest position is between 5 ° and 40 °.

  • the plate peg 6 and the anchor fork 8 are dimensioned so that the width L of the anchor fork 8 is greater than (P + S) / sin ( ⁇ / 2 + ⁇ / 2), the stroke of penetration P and the safety distance S being measured radially with respect to the main axis DP.
