  • the patent document EP33339984B1 in the name of The Swatch Group Research & Development Ltd describes a watch winding device, comprising means for acoustic monitoring of the watch, to determine the optimum level of winding or recharging.
  • the present invention proposes to develop this principle of acoustic evaluation of the degree of winding of a watch.
  • the invention relates to an automatic device for winding watches with a rotary movement, according to claim 1.
  • EP33339984B1 in the name of The Swatch Group Research & Development Ltd, incorporated herein by reference, describes a device for winding watches, or mechanical or electronic watches with a mechanical energy source.
  • This device comprises at least one energy source arranged to supply energy to at least one motor.
  • This motor is designed to either drive the winding crown of a manual winding watch, or else to drive at least one oscillating mass of a self-winding watch, or else to stir at least one self-winding watch.
  • the device comprises control means, which comprise first acoustic measurement means integrating sensor means for the acoustic measurement of the oscillator of at least one watch placed in the winding position.
  • first acoustic measurement means include in particular a microphone.
  • the control means are arranged to analyze signals transmitted by these first acoustic measurement means and compare them with parameterizable setpoint values to regulate the operation of the motor by starting this motor when the operating amplitude of the oscillator is lower or equal to a first minimum value, and by stopping this motor when the operating amplitude of the oscillator is greater than or equal to a second maximum value.
  • first acoustic measurement means are arranged in a fixed position in a base behind a gripping orifice.
  • the device comprises at least one acoustic duct putting in communication a reception orifice situated in a housing chamber of a watch and an emission orifice.
  • the control means control motor means determining the movement and the position in space of this emission orifice, for, during an operation to measure the rate of a watch fixed in the housing, programmed or triggered by a user, position and immobilize this emission orifice in an indexing position facing the input orifice, and in the immediate vicinity of the latter or in contact with it.
  • This device advantageously comprises optical means cooperating with the piloting means for reaching said indexing position.
  • this device comprises second acoustic measurement means for measuring the ambient noise in the vicinity of the device during the measurement.
  • control means are arranged to correct, by subtraction of this ambient noise, the acoustic measurement carried out by the first acoustic measurement means during the measurement operation.
  • This device advantageously comprises at least one mobile support relative to the base, which support is arranged for receiving a mechanical watch or electronic watch with a mechanical energy source in a winding position.
  • Each such support comprises such an acoustic duct.
  • the emission port is located on the periphery of the support.
  • the piloting means control these same motor means which determine the movement and the position in space of the support, for, during a programmed measurement operation, or triggered by a user, the rate of a watch fixed in housing, position and immobilize the emission orifice in an indexing position facing the input orifice and in the immediate vicinity of the latter or in contact with it.
  • This same patent document also describes the use of such a device for winding an electronic watch comprising a generator with a mechanical energy source.
  • the control means then comprise measuring means integrating sensor means for measuring the field produced by this generator to control the regulation of the energy recharge.
  • the present invention proposes to develop this principle of acoustic evaluation of the degree of winding of a watch.
  • the invention consists in powering the electronic circuit using at least two coils arranged to cooperate with one another for energy transfer, and more particularly but not limited to coaxial.
  • the watch is preferably held in place, as illustrated, by a microphone unit integral with the base, or by a case serving as a base, which is ergonomic for the user. More particularly, this microphone unit is in several parts. In the non-limiting variant illustrated by the figures, it comprises an upper half watch holder, which contains the microphone, and a lower half watch holder, mounted to pivot relative to the base.
  • this microphone is a contact microphone, in particular of the piezoelectric microphone type, so as to obtain the best possible signal / noise ratio.
  • This piezoelectric microphone is advantageously housed directly under the watch, in particular in the upper half-watch holder in the variant of the figures.
  • An advantageous variant consists in putting this piezoelectric microphone in contact with the crown of the watch, because the winding and time-setting stem of the watch plunges directly into the heart of the movement, where the measurement of the noise of the escapement is even better, which avoids the damping due to the back and back seals which is inevitable when the piezoelectric microphone is placed directly under the back of the watch case.
  • it is more difficult to make such a piezoelectric microphone for contact on the crown for a wide variety of different watches; it turns out so more advantageous for the preparation of watches of the same type, or very similar as regards the positioning of their crowns.
  • Another variant consists in equipping the winding device with an aerial microphone and an acoustic duct leading to the watch, for example with an aerial microphone in the lower half-watch holder; however, the sensitivity to ambient noise makes this solution, simple and inexpensive, less precise than that of the piezoelectric microphone in direct contact with the watch.
  • the invention relates more particularly to an automatic device for winding watches 100 with rotary movement.
  • This device 100 comprises a base 1 carrying a motor 2 for driving in rotation a support 20 movable relative to the base 1.
