Description

Domaine techniqueTechnical area

La présente invention concerne les montres et plus particulièrement les montres à quartz.The present invention relates to watches and more particularly to quartz watches.

Arrière-plan technologiqueTechnological background

Dans certaines montres comprenant des aiguilles, il est essentiel qu'un contact électrique soit établi. Toutefois, ce contact électrique peut être présent au début de la vie de la montre, mais il finit par se dégrader jusqu'à disparaître.In some watches comprising hands, it is essential that electrical contact be made. However, this electrical contact can be present at the beginning of the life of the watch, but it ends up degrading until it disappears.

En effet, ce contact électrique est établi lors de l'assemblage de différentes pièces et en particulier lors d'un module moteur : sur un support est chassé un élément métallique dans un premier temps, puis une carte électronique comprenant un capteur, par exemple, est assemblée avec ledit élément électrique avant que l'ensemble ne soit fixé audit support. Ledit élément métallique est relié à ladite carte électronique et notamment à ladite masse de ladite carte électronique par l'intermédiaire d'une zone métallisée pour permettre le passage d'un signal.Indeed, this electrical contact is established during the assembly of various parts and in particular during an engine module: on a support is driven a metal element first, then an electronic card comprising a sensor, for example, is assembled with said electrical element before the assembly is fixed to said support. Said metallic element is connected to said electronic card and in particular to said ground of said electronic card by means of a metallized zone to allow the passage of a signal.

Seulement, comme mentionné ci-avant, de nombreux problème apparaissent soit lors de l'assemblage, comme par exemple le cumul des tolérances des différents éléments, ce qui rend la fixation de ces éléments de moins en moins efficace et laisse apparaître un jeu lorsque les tolérances sont inférieures à la moyenne ou, a contrario, lorsque les tolérances sont supérieures à la moyenne, la fixation est trop importante jusqu'à détériorer tout ou partie de l'ensemble est fait apparaître également un jeu car ladite carte électronique peut avoir été fendu.However, as mentioned above, many problems appear either during assembly, such as for example the accumulation of the tolerances of the different elements, which makes the fixing of these elements less and less effective and lets appear a play when the tolerances are less than the average or, conversely, when the tolerances are greater than the average, the fastening is too great until all or part of the assembly deteriorates, a play is also revealed because said electronic card may have been split .
