Definitions

  • the invention relates to a striking or musical watch comprising an arrangement for guiding acoustic waves.
  • a watch may be provided with a striking mechanism to signal minute repeaters or to generate music at predefined times.
  • the metal gong(s) used are generally circular in shape and placed in a plane parallel to the dial of the watch.
  • One end or several ends of each gong are fixed to at least one gong-carrier secured to the plate supporting the watch movement, or to the caseband of the watch case.
  • the other end of each gong may generally be free to move.
  • the vibration of each gong is produced by the impact of a corresponding hammer on the gong near the gong-carrier.
  • Each hammer generally performs a partial rotation in the plane of the gong(s) so as to strike the corresponding gong and make it vibrate in its plane parallel to the back or dial of the watch. Part of the vibration of the gong is further transmitted to the plate by the gong-carrier or to other parts of the watch, such as exterior parts.
  • a vibratory source such as a gong or a keyboard
  • a vibration element which creates a mechanical vibration in the plane of the watch
  • radiation such as an acoustic membrane, which transforms the mechanical vibration generated by the vibration source into a variation in air pressure.
  • the timbre is generally not directly connected to the radiation element, such as the acoustic membrane.
  • a loudspeaker with the voice coil as a vibration source, which creates a mechanical vibration, and the acoustic membrane as a radiation element, which transforms the mechanical vibration into a variation in air pressure.
  • the voice coil is bonded, that is, fixed directly to the radiation element.
  • a vibration transmission element may consist of the plate, a casing ring, the caseband, a bezel gasket, for example, but these are not components optimized for the transmission of vibrations.
  • the exterior parts of the watch are, for example, the caseband, the bezel, the crystal or the case back.
  • the acoustic efficiency based on the complex vibro-acoustic transduction of the exterior parts, is low.
  • the vibration from a gong which is an element generating the vibration, propagates poorly to the exterior, which is an element radiating the sound.
  • To improve and increase the acoustic level perceived by the user of the striking watch it is necessary to improve the transmission of vibrations to better transmit them to the element, which radiates.
  • the material, geometry and boundary conditions of said exterior parts must be taken into account.
  • the configurations of these exterior parts are also dependent on the aesthetics of the watch and the operating constraints, which can limit the possibilities of adaptation.
  • one or more membranes arranged in the watch case as described in the patent can also be used.
  • EP 3 009 895 B1 These membranes are configured to improve the acoustic radiation of the sound or music generated.
  • Other parts of the watch casing can also be adapted for good sound radiation, particularly at low frequencies.
  • the acoustic efficiency of all these arrangements is often insufficient, which is a disadvantage.
  • the invention therefore aims to overcome the drawbacks of the state of the art by providing a striking or musical watch with a good arrangement for guiding acoustic waves generated in the watch and to ensure good radiation of the sound or melody generated in the watch to the outside of the watch. Better transmission of mechanical vibrations is achieved by the wave guiding arrangement.
  • the invention relates to a striking or musical watch cited above, which comprises the characteristics defined in independent claims 1 and 2.
  • An advantage of the striking or musical watch according to the invention lies in the fact that it comprises a waveguide held by flexible blades connected to a fixed part of the watch to allow acoustic waves to be guided between a first portion of the guide and a radiation element.
  • the waveguide held by flexible blades is configured to change the direction of acoustic vibration from a first portion, which is a location for generating or receiving waves. acoustics to a radiating element. This allows a transition from a vibration mode in the watch plane to a vibration mode outside the watch plane of the “piston” mode type.
  • a radiation element is a watch glass or a watch glass connected to a bezel to be fixed to the caseband of a watch case.
  • a bellows-type membrane is arranged between the bezel and the caseband.
  • the radiation element is free to move to function as a loudspeaker (out of plane). This makes it possible to improve the quality and intensity of the sound or melody perceived outside the watch.
  • FIG. 1 schematically represents a section of a striking or musical watch 1, which includes an arrangement for guiding acoustic waves in the watch in order to improve the quality and intensity of the sound or melody perceived outside the watch, in particular at predefined times when using the watch.
  • the striking or musical watch 1 mainly comprises a waveguide which is held to a fixed part 8 in the watch 1, for example to a plate of the watch movement or to a caseband 6 of a watch case 1 or to an internal support, such as a casing ring, or to a watch dial 9 as shown in figure 2 , by flexible blades.
  • the waveguide 2 makes it possible to guide acoustic waves generated by a first portion 2' of the waveguide 2 towards a radiation element 3, 4, 5.
  • the waveguide 2 is configured once held at the aforementioned fixed part to change the direction of acoustic vibration from the first portion 2' to the radiation element.
  • the waveguide is held along a rectilinear part on the side of its first portion 2', which may be a first end of the guide, by flexible blades 22, for example, under the plate of the watch movement 8.
  • This rectilinear part at the level of the first portion 2' may be rigid.
  • the waveguide 2 further comprises a curved part 12 for changing the direction of acoustic vibration and another rectilinear part 2" connecting the part curved 12 to the radiating element 3, 4, 5.
  • At least the curved part 12 is on a flexible guide.
  • This other rectilinear part is also held to the fixed part for example to a fixed wall 18 above the plate by other flexible blades.
  • the fixed wall can be a casing circle 18, but other connecting means can be provided.
  • the waveguide and the flexible blades 22 are monolithic, because each contact in the vibration transmissions worsens the quality of the sound transmission.
  • a second portion 2" of the other rectilinear part of the waveguide 2 comes into contact or is connected to the radiating element, which can be directly a watch glass 3, or a bezel 5 connected to the watch glass 3 as shown in figure 1 .
  • This other rectilinear part at the level of the second portion 2" can also be rigid.
  • the radiation element can also be connected by a bellows-shaped membrane 4 to hold the glass 3 or preferably the glass 3 with the bezel 5 on a caseband 6 of the watch case 1, which is also closed by a bottom 7 on the other side.
  • This membrane 4 can be cylindrical in shape to allow the watch case to be sealed with the bezel 5 connected to the glass 3. The radiation element is thus free to move to function as a loudspeaker (out of plane) thanks to the membrane 4 added between the bezel 5 and the caseband 6.
  • another radiation element may be envisaged, such as a membrane fixed in the watch case on the side of the back 7, or even directly the back 7 of the watch case.
  • the membrane 4 is made of metallic material or amorphous metal. This membrane 4 can be produced by electroforming and can have a relatively complex geometry.
  • the figure 1 may be provided to generate acoustic waves by an excitation element E, such as a hammer, which strikes the first end, which is in this case the first portion 2', of the waveguide 2 held by flexible blades.
  • an excitation element E such as a hammer
  • the hammer strikes a vibration source once, which may be the waveguide 2 directly or a gong vibrating for a certain time following the hammer strike.
  • This generation of acoustic waves is first of all with a vibration in the plane of the watch, that is to say parallel to a plate of the watch movement 8 or parallel to a watch dial. Then a change in the direction of acoustic vibration is carried out by the curved part 12 of the waveguide 2 to vibrate the radiation element 3, 4, 5 at the second portion 2", which may be a second end, of the waveguide 2 held by flexible blades.
  • the acoustic vibration is in this case in a "piston" mode like a loudspeaker, which is particularly effective for emitting a sound or a melody.
  • a "piston" mode like a loudspeaker, which is particularly effective for emitting a sound or a melody.
  • the directions of wave generation and wave emission are not limiting.
  • the waveguide 2 along its length is therefore curved at its curved portion 12 by an angle greater than 10 degrees and preferably by an angle between 80 and 100 degrees, for example 90 degrees between the first portion 2' and the second portion 2" of the waveguide 2. This makes it possible to switch from a vibration mode in the watch plane to a vibration mode outside the watch plane of the "piston" mode type, which is preferentially sought.
  • the invention also covers any change of direction of more than 10° in a three-dimensional space, and it is also possible to transform a rotation into a linear displacement.
  • the waveguide 2 is used directly for the generation of acoustic waves without having a timbre, the waveguide itself being the timbre, it must be made in a particular material with a well-defined mass m between the first portion 2' and the second portion 2" of the waveguide.
  • the hammer E can strike the waveguide held by flexible blades at any location, because the waveguide 2 is able to transmit the generated acoustic vibration.
  • a resonant member such as a gong (not shown) of a striking mechanism
  • a resonant member can be connected to the first portion 2' or first end of the waveguide 2.
  • the hammer strikes the gong and the acoustic waves generated by the vibrating gong are guided by the first portion 2' of the waveguide.
  • the gong can also be placed in intermediate portions of the waveguide 2.
  • a reed keyboard, not shown, of a striking mechanism may also be provided and placed in contact with the first portion 2' of the waveguide 2.
  • the keyboard is capable of being activated by the excitation element, which is a disk or cylinder with pins for exciting the reeds of the striking mechanism at predetermined times to generate acoustic waves in the form of a melody.
  • the acoustic waves generated in the form of a melody are guided by the first portion 2' of the waveguide 2.
  • the reed keyboard for example at least 3 or 4 reeds to generate 3 or 4 different notes, several wave guides can be provided, each connected to one of the respective reeds for guiding the acoustic waves adapted to each note generated.
  • the radiation element 3, 4, 5 can be locked by a mechanical blocking device so as to protect the flexible membrane 4.
  • FIG 2 schematically represents a section of a striking or musical watch 1, which includes an arrangement for guiding acoustic waves in the watch according to a second embodiment.
  • a striking or musical watch 1 which includes an arrangement for guiding acoustic waves in the watch according to a second embodiment.
  • the essential difference in this second embodiment compared to the first embodiment is that the second portion 2" of the waveguide 2 comes into contact or strikes the glass 3 or is fixed directly to the glass 3 of the radiating element.
  • the waveguide 2 is connected to a fixed part, which in this case is the watch dial 9 or plate.
  • the first portion 2' of the waveguide 2 is connected by flexible blades 22, for example made of metal, to an inner surface of the dial 9.
  • the bent or curved part 12 is located at the center of the dial 9, for example at the center of the circular dial 9.
  • the other rectilinear part with the second portion 2" of the waveguide passes through an opening in the center of the dial and preferably through the axis(es) of the time indication hands 10.
  • a connection by flexible blades in the opening of the dial is also provided to maintain the other rectilinear part of the waveguide 2.
  • a change in the direction of acoustic vibration is effected by the curved portion 12 of the waveguide 2 to vibrate the radiating element at the second portion 2", which may be a second end, of the waveguide 2.
  • the angle between the straight portion of the first portion 2' and the straight portion of the second portion 2" of the waveguide 2 is between 80 degrees and 100 degrees, for example a right angle.
  • an excitation element E such as a hammer
  • At least one gong of a striking mechanism connected to the first portion 2' and struck by a hammer E to generate acoustic waves guided from the first portion 2' of the waveguide 2 to the second portion 2" of the waveguide 2, connected to the watch glass 3.
  • the radiation element comprises the watch glass 3 or preferably the watch glass 3 fixed at the edge to a bezel 5, which is mounted on the caseband 6 of the watch case by means of the bellows-shaped membrane 4.
  • figure 3 represents an alternative embodiment of the striking or musical watch 1 in relation to the first embodiment of the figure 1 .
  • the description of the same elements presented and described with reference to the figure 1 are identical.
  • An excitation element E such as a hammer
  • An excitation element E can strike the first portion 2' of the waveguide 2 held by flexible blades and the generated acoustic waves are guided in the waveguide 2.
  • a resonant member such as a gong of a striking mechanism, can be connected in intermediate portions a, b, c of the waveguide 2 to also generate guided acoustic waves in the waveguide 2 following the hammer striking the first portion 2'.
  • Such a symbolically represented gong can be positioned at "a" at the level of the mechanical excitation E or at "b” at the level of the curved part 12 or at "c” at the level of the radiation element 3. The gong starts to vibrate following the acoustic vibration generated by the hammer at the first portion 2' of the waveguide 2.
  • the waveguide 2 can be made by wire cutting technology, by electrodeposition and by silicon production.
  • the material must also be suitable to have good fatigue resistance.
  • the waveguide can take different forms, but must be able to allow the direction of acoustic vibration to be changed from its first end to its second end.
