Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electromechanical watch mechanism comprising an antenna for transmitting and / or receiving a wireless signal.
  • Watches having a wireless communication function are known.
  • an antenna must be placed in the confined space of the watch.
  • the antenna has often been placed outside the housing.
  • an antenna is incorporated in the bracelet.
  • Such an arrangement has the disadvantage that the antenna is vulnerable to breakage. Otherwise, the antenna is most often placed around a dial of the watch, the metal case of the watch serving as a ground plane.
  • the antenna can also be placed on a watch bezel.
  • the placement of an antenna outside has the disadvantage of not being compatible with the aesthetic criteria of a watch.
  • the casing of a watch preferably comprises metal parts, such as the case and the dial, which have a high precision finish.
  • An antenna placed outside the case then compromises the aesthetics of the watch and must therefore be covered so as not to degrade the external appearance.
  • the antenna is housed inside the case, under the dial. In such an arrangement, the mechanical and electrical connections between the watch movement and the antenna are less susceptible to outside interference.
  • an antenna is housed in a non-metallic casing comprising a dial which is also non-metallic.
  • a dial which is also non-metallic.
  • the components of the covering are metallic, the latter will play the role of an electromagnetic shielding for the antenna and the performance of the antenna will not be satisfactory.
  • the challenge is therefore to ensure the consistency of the reception and transmission quality of the antenna while using the usual materials from which the watch casing and the dial are made.
  • annular antenna is housed inside the housing comprising a metal dial.
  • the antenna is placed at a distance greater than 0.5 mm from the dial. This distance is sufficient to allow adequate reception.
  • US9141089 describes a watch comprising a dial, a shaft on which are mounted two hands configured to rotate 360 degrees in a plane around the shaft, an antenna element coupled to the shaft and configured to rotate 360 degrees in the same plan around the tree and a circuit for the antenna element.
  • US2015 / 185707 describes a watch comprising a dial as well as a first hand and a second hand.
  • the first and second needles are configured to send / receive wireless signals.
  • An aim of the present invention is to provide an electromechanical clockwork mechanism comprising an antenna free from the limitations of known clockwork mechanisms.
  • an electromechanical watch mechanism comprising at least one mobile intended for the display of a time or non-time function, and a main plate on which are mounted: an actuator module comprising a gear plate, a motor and a gear train in engagement with the motor and arranged to drive said at least one mobile; an electronic wireless communication module configured to transmit and / or receive a wireless signal; and a control unit configured to control the actuator module based on a received wireless signal.
  • the gear plate is electrically isolated from the main plate.
  • the mobile and the gear are made of an electrically conductive material and define an electrical connection between the mobile and the communication module so that the mobile can act as an antenna for the transmission and / or reception of the wireless signal between the mobile. mobile and wireless communication module.
  • the electromechanical watch mechanism of the invention comprising an antenna allows good performance for the reception and transmission of the antenna in the case where the mechanism comprises an electrically conductive dial and is arranged in an electrically conductive casing.
  • the mechanism 1 comprises a main plate 10 comprising an actuator module 40 driving at least one mobile 30 via a gear 42.
  • the mobile 30 is intended for the display of a time or non-time function.
  • the mechanism 1 comprises a wireless communication module 2 configured to transmit and / or receive a wireless signal and a control unit 6 configured to control the actuator module 40 based on a received wireless signal.
  • the mobile 30 and the gear 42 are made of an electrically conductive material and are in electrical contact with one another but electrically isolated from the rest of the watch mechanism 1.
  • the mobile 30 is electrically connected to the communication module 2 so as to act as an antenna for the transmission and / or reception of the wireless signal and to transmit the wireless signal between the mobile 30 and the wireless communication module 2.
  • the actuator module 40 comprises a motor 41 and the gear train 42 arranged to transfer the movement of the motor 41 to the mobile 30, the actuator module 40 not being electrically connected to the main plate 10.
  • the main plate 10 comprises a printed circuit board on which the actuator module 40 is mounted.
  • Other electrical or electronic components of the watch mechanism 1 can also be mounted on the printed circuit board, such as communication module 2.
  • the actuator module 40 comprises a gear plate 44 supporting the gear 42.
  • the gear plate 44 is preferably made of an electrically non-conductive material.
  • the actuator module 40 comprises three motors 41a, 41b and 41c, each motor making it possible to set in motion, respectively, an hour hand 31a, a minute hand 31b and a seconds hand 31c.
  • the actuator module 40 comprises a stator 43 comprising three branches, each carrying a coil 41a, 41b and 41c.
  • the needles 31a, 31b, 31c are mounted so as to pivot in the plane of the main plate 10.
  • the three branches can be arranged so as to form an angle of approximately 120 ° between them.
  • the stator may also have the shape of two branches, each carrying a coil so as to drive two needles arranged concentrically.
  • the watch mechanism 1 can include a capacitive circuit configured to match the impedance as a function of the angular position of the hands 31a, 31b, 31c.
  • the actuator module 40 can include other configurations and can be configured to set in motion a single needle or two needles, or even one or more discs or any other type of mobile.
  • the actuator module 40 can include a bidirectional motor actuating a retrograde needle.
  • figure 2 shows the mechanism 1 according to another configuration, comprising an actuator module 40 which comprises three motors 41a, 41b and 41c as shown in the figure 1 and able to set in motion an hour, minute and second hand
  • the mechanism 1 also comprises two motors 41d, 41e, the stator of which has a branch, each driving a disc 32, for example date discs.
  • the discs 32 are arranged so as to pivot in the plane of the main plate 10.
  • Each of the motors 41d, 41e can also drive a needle, for example, a retrograde needle in the case of bidirectional motors.
  • the mobile 30 and the gear 42 are configured so as to have an antenna resistance of about 50 Ohm.
  • the antenna resistance of about 50 Ohm can be obtained by the choice of materials composing the mobile 30 and the gear 42.
  • Mechanism 1 can include a dial (not shown).
  • the dial is preferably electrically isolated from the mobile 30 and the gear 42.
  • the mechanism of the invention can be integrated into a watch comprising a case containing the mechanism 1 according to the invention; the housing being electrically isolated from the mobile 30 and from the gear train 42.
