Definitions
- the present invention relates to a motor member for watchmaking, in particular a motor member with a substantially constant moment of force.
- the clockwork drive unit can be either a drive unit for a watch movement arranged to drive a going train, or a drive unit for an additional mechanism such as a striking mechanism or a chronograph.
- a barrel is traditionally used as the driving member of a watch mechanism.
- a barrel is an assembly of at least three elements: a barrel spring consisting of a leaf spring in the form of a spiral, a barrel drum serving as a housing for said spring, said drum being able to rotate freely on a barrel arbor (axis pivoting between bridge and plate), and a barrel cover for closing the barrel drum, said cover also being able to rotate freely on the barrel arbor.
- the leaf spring has the shape of an upturned S. The unwinding of the blade, wound against the diameter of the bung of the barrel arbor and seeking to return to its initial shape, produces the energy necessary for the operation of the watch mechanism.
- a disadvantage of such a motor member is that its performance is affected by the friction of the coils of the spiral spring against each other and against the inside of the barrel drum, during the unwinding of the barrel. To reduce this friction, it is customary to lubricate the coils of the spring and to deposit an anti-friction coating in the drum. Despite this, such a motor member undergoes energy losses of approximately 15% due to friction.
- Such a motor member is therefore expensive and difficult to manufacture.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an alternative motor member to the barrel comprising a spiral spring traditionally used, and also alternative to the motor members disclosed by the documents CH699988A2 and EP2455820A2 .
- the object of the present invention is also that of providing a motor member making it possible to overcome, at least in part, the aforementioned drawbacks.
- the invention proposes for this purpose a clockwork motor member according to appended claim 1.
- the present invention also proposes a timepiece mechanism comprising such a timepiece motor member.
- the motor member according to the invention has the advantage of significantly improving the efficiency (average energy loss of between 0 and 3% only against approximately 15% for a traditional spiral spring barrel). Indeed, the monolithic units that compose it do not undergo or very little friction.
- the motor member according to the invention also has the advantage of delivering a substantially constant moment of force, thus improving the isochronism of the watch movement with which it is associated, without requiring an intermediate spring between the motor member and the 'exhaust.
- the figures 1 and 2 represent a part of a timepiece mechanism, more precisely of a timepiece movement, comprising a clockwork motor member 1 according to a particular embodiment of the invention, this motor member 1 being held in position by means of a axis 2 of said watch movement.
- This watch movement further comprises, in particular, a gear train 3, an escapement 4 and a winding mechanism 5a, 5b, as illustrated in figures 1 and 2 .
- the winding mechanism comprises a winding stem 5a and a winding wheel 5b. In a variant, it could be of the automatic type, with an oscillating mass.
- the motor member 1 comprises several monolithic units 110, 210, 310, stacked on top of each other and connected in series, as illustrated in picture 3 .

- the first 110 of said units is associated with a toothing 160 allowing the connection with the winding wheel 5b.
- This toothing 160 which meshes with the winding wheel 5b is typically carried by a winding wheel 170 coaxial with and integral with the hub 120 of the said first unit 110, as shown in figures 1, 2, 3 and 4a .
- the toothing 160 can be fixed to the rim 130 of the first unit 110. That or that of the hub 120 or of the rim 130 of the first unit 110 which is fixed to the toothing 160, and therefore by which between the energy, constitutes an input element of the stack of units 110, 210, 310.
- the last 310 of said units is associated with another toothing 360 which meshes with the going train 3 to deliver a moment of force to it.
- This other toothing 360 is typically integral with the rim 330 of this last unit 310, as shown in figures 1, 2, 3 and 4c .
- the toothing 360 can be integral with the hub 320 of the last unit 310. That or that of the hub 320 or the rim 330 of the last unit 310 which is integral with said other toothing 360, and therefore through which the energy exits, constitutes an output element of the stack of units 110, 210, 310.
- the intermediate units 210 placed between said first 110 and last 310 units are not associated with a toothing, as shown in figures 1, 3 and 4b .
- each of the units 110, 210, 310 is unidirectional, that is to say that it has, due to the shape of its elastic arms 140, 240, 340, a privileged direction of rotation. of its rim 130, 230, 330 relative to its hub 120, 220, 320, this direction being defined as that which allows, from the rest state of the unit in question, the greatest relative angular displacement of its serge 130, 230, 330 with respect to its hub 120, 220, 320.

- the motor member comprises three units 110, 210, 310, it can comprise a first unit 110 whose preferred direction of rotation is clockwise (as shown in figure 4a ), a single intermediate unit 210 whose preferred direction of rotation is counterclockwise (corresponding to a unit 210 as shown in figure 4b turned over) and a last unit 310 whose preferred direction of rotation is clockwise (as shown in figure 4c ).
- the units 110, 210, 310 are also connected in series, these units 110, 210, 310 being two by two connected alternately by their edges 130, 230, 330 and by their hubs 120, 220, 320.
- rim 130 of first unit 110 is integral with rim 231 of first intermediate unit 211
- hub 221 of this first intermediate unit 211 is integral with hub 222 of second intermediate unit 212 and so on, hub of the last intermediate unit being integral with the hub 320 of the last unit 310.
- the privileged direction of rotation of the first 110 and of the last 310 unit and the choice of the input and output elements (serge or hub) depends on the position of the driving member 1 in the watch mechanism and depends on the mechanism of crown 5a, 5b and of the going train 3.
- the preferred direction of rotation of the intermediate units 210 is granted according to their number and according to the direction of the first 110 and last 310 units.
- the hubs 120, 220, 320 of the units 110, 210, 310 of the motor member 1 comprise holes 150, 250, 350, for example circular, these holes 150, 250, 350 being traversed by the axis 2 of the movement watchmaker, said axis 2 preferably being mounted fixed relative to the movement, for example in the plate of the movement.
- This axis 2 positions the motor member 1 and helps to keep the hubs 120, 220, 320 of all the units 110, 210, 310 aligned, the hubs 120, 220, 320 being free to rotate around the axis 2 .
- the hubs 120, 220, 320 of the units 110, 210, 310 of the drive member 1 may not include holes 150, 250, 350.
- the drive member may, in this case, be held in position , for example, by means of two axes mounted on the hubs 120, 320 respectively of the first 110 and last 310 units, these axes being, respectively, integral in rotation with said hubs 120, 320 and free in rotation with respect to a fixed part of the movement, typically in relation to the plate.
- This driving member can also be placed in a drum.
- the very structure of the drive member 1 involves the centering of the hub 120, 220, 320 of each unit 110, 210, 310 with respect to its rim 130, 230, 330.
- the motor member 1 can comprise one or more hub centering devices aimed at reinforcing the centering of the hubs 120, 220, 320.
- Such devices typically comprise a rigid junction element 6, on the one hand, fixed integrally to two diametrically opposed zones of the rim 130, 230, 330 of a unit 110, 210, 310 and on the other hand, positioned free in rotation on the axis 2.

- the monolithic units 110, 210, 310 exhibiting a curve M( ⁇ ) of the type of that shown in figure 6 differ from conventional elastic structures. Their properties are based on a sinuous shape of their elastic arms which deform in such a way as to generate a substantially constant elastic restoring moment (the curve M( ⁇ ) has a plateau). In addition, due to their sinuous shape, the elastic arms 140, 240, 340 of a given unit 110, 210, 310 have the advantage of being able to be relatively long without the risk of rubbing against each other during rotation. of the rim 130, 230, 330 of said unit 110, 210, 310 with respect to its hub 120, 220, 320.
