Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a train wheel setting mechanism, a timepiece movement, and a timepiece.
  • a mechanical timepiece in related art is provided with a train wheel setting mechanism that stops a second hand when adjusting time (for example, see JP-A-2006-234677 ).
  • JP-A-2006-234677 discloses a configuration in which a balance setting lever for setting rotation of a balance with hairspring is provided so as to rotate based on rotation of a setting lever in a state where a second hand of a winding stem can be adjusted.
  • a train wheel setting mechanism of the application includes: a first rotating body and a second rotating body that are supported by a main plate; a train wheel setting lever that is provided to be capable of coming into contact with and separating from the first rotating body, and configured to operate in conjunction with a winding stem; and a bridge member that supports the second rotating body together with the main plate, and also supports the train wheel setting lever.
  • the train wheel setting lever can be incorporated into a timepiece movement without providing a pin or the like for supporting the train wheel setting lever on the main plate.
  • a degree of freedom in shapes of parts other than the train wheel setting lever is improved. Therefore, the train wheel setting mechanism capable of preventing reduction in a design margin of the timepiece movement can be provided.
  • the second rotating body is a center wheel and pinion to which a minute hand is attached.
  • the bridge member is disposed closer to the main plate than another bridge member that supports a rotating body to which a second hand is attached together with the main plate. Therefore, the bridge member is disposed closer to the winding stem than the other bridge member in a thickness direction of the main plate. Therefore, it becomes possible to easily design the configuration for operating the train wheel setting lever in conjunction with the winding stem.
  • a biasing member configured to bias the train wheel setting lever with respect to the bridge member may be provided.
  • the train wheel setting lever is pressed in one direction by the biasing member, so that rattling of the train wheel setting lever can be reduced and operations of the train wheel setting lever can be stabilized.
  • the bridge member may be formed with a recess portion in which the train wheel setting lever and the biasing member are accommodated.
  • a volume of a space occupied by the train wheel setting lever and the biasing member around the recess portion can be reduced as compared with a configuration in which the recess portion is not formed in the bridge member.
  • a degree of freedom in shapes of parts other than the train wheel setting lever and the biasing member can be further improved.
  • the biasing member may be provided integrally with the train wheel setting lever.
  • the number of parts can be reduced as compared with a configuration in which the biasing member is provided as a member separate from the train wheel setting lever. As a result, a manufacturing cost can be reduced.
  • the train wheel setting lever may include: a lever body that is supported by the bridge member; an abutting portion that is supported by the lever body and abuts against the winding stem by a biasing force of the biasing member; and a contacting portion that is supported by the lever body and is capable of coming into contact with the first rotating body.
  • the train wheel setting lever can be operated in conjunction with the winding stem.
  • the train wheel setting lever may include: a lever body that is supported by the bridge member; an engaging portion that is supported by the lever body and is capable of engaging with the interlocking portion; and a contacting portion that is supported by the lever body and is capable of coming into contact with the first rotating body.
  • the engaging portion can be displaced together with the lever body as the interlocking portion is displaced.
  • the contacting portion supported by the lever body can come into contact with and be separated from the first rotating body. Therefore, the train wheel setting lever can be operated in conjunction with the winding stem.
  • the train wheel setting lever may include an elastically deformable portion formed to be flexibly deformable.
  • the train wheel setting lever when the train wheel setting lever separates from the first rotating body, by restoration of the elastically deformable portion, the train wheel setting lever can flip the first rotating body and apply a rotational force to the first rotating body. As a result, an operation of the first rotating body can be promptly restarted.
  • the train wheel setting lever may include the elastically deformable portion formed to be flexibly deformable, and the abutting portion abuts against the winding stem in a state in which the contacting portion is in contact with the first rotating body.
  • the train wheel setting lever when the train wheel setting lever separates from the first rotating body, by restoration of the elastically deformable portion, the train wheel setting lever can flip the first rotating body and apply a rotational force to the first rotating body. As a result, an operation of the first rotating body can be promptly restarted.
  • the train wheel setting lever is disposed on an opposite side of the main plate with the bridge member interposed therebetween.
  • a space between the main plate and the bridge member can be prevented from being occupied by the train wheel setting lever.
  • a degree of freedom in the shapes of the parts other than the train wheel setting lever, which are disposed between the main plate and the bridge member, can be improved.
  • the train wheel setting lever may be disposed between the bridge member and the main plate.
