Definitions

  • a mechanical movement watch having a force control mechanism, such as the force due to gravity when wearing the watch, and a jumping second type.
  • the force control mechanism may be a tourbillon mechanism mounted at the escapement.
  • the tourbillon carriage surrounds the escapement mechanism and preferably the carriage performs a complete rotation every minute with in particular 60 jumps of a second performed.
  • a tourbillon also called a "rotating cage”
  • a tourbillon is a horological complication, added to the escapement mechanism, intended to improve the precision of mechanical watches by counterbalancing the disturbances of the isochronism of the resonator due to the earth's gravity.
  • the fundamental criterion which characterizes a tourbillon, in relation to a carousel in particular, is the presence of a fixed gear train on which the tourbillon cage meshes.
  • the tourbillon cage is rotatably mounted between two fixing points.
  • Gravity is also taken into account to compensate for all disturbances in the isochronism of the resonator.
  • the escapement is coupled to the resonator. It interacts with it once or twice per period of oscillation.
  • the angle traveled by the resonator during the interaction is called the lift angle.
  • the rest of the resonator's path is called an additional angle or arc.
  • the resonator can be in contact with the escapement (exhaust at rubbing rest) or without contact (free escapement).
  • the escapement performs two main phases, which are release (or count) and pulse (or maintenance).
  • the purpose of the jumping seconds is to display the second in steps of a whole second, which corresponds on a 60-second dial to an angle of 6° per second.
  • This jumping second is often associated with constant force mechanisms that take advantage of the particular construction of this jumping second.
  • Deadbeat seconds or fixed seconds mechanisms also come close to these constructions with the particularity of being able to stop the seconds at will like a chronograph.
  • a mechanism for advancing by periodic jump of a pivoting cage carrying a wheel and an escapement pinion and an anchor cooperating with the wheel and a spiral balance wheel comprises retaining means to authorize or prohibit the pivoting of said cage according to the movements or not.
  • stop means for authorizing or prohibiting, depending on their angular position, the pivoting of the retaining means are also stop means for authorizing or prohibiting, depending on their angular position, the pivoting of the retaining means.
  • a constant force device causes the retaining means to cooperate periodically. This device comprises a whip intended to perform complete turns.
  • Some of these mechanisms can get out of sync after complete disarming, and go into a blocking position. This requires a stop system linked to a power reserve mechanism, which will stop the mechanism before complete unwinding.
  • a constant-force device for a dead-second watch.
  • This device makes it possible to move an axis of a mobile on a rocker driven by an energy storage spring, which tends to cause the rocker to pivot.
  • the device comprises a pinion of a first seconds wheel of the movement, which meshes with a transmission pivotally mounted on this rocker, and which meshes with the pinion of a second seconds wheel defining the wheel set.
  • the rocker carrying a finger must adapt to cooperate with a ratchet toothing of a stop wheel, which meshes with the first seconds wheel.
  • the gear train is blocked, in particular consisting of the first seconds wheel and the transmission without force transmission from the first seconds wheel and the transmission.
  • the second seconds wheel is controlled by the escapement and only turns when it is moved by the balance wheel.
  • the winding of the spring is ensured by the movement of the rocker in the opposite direction, for which the spring exerts on the rocker a lower torque than that exerted by the barrel spring on the rocker, when the stop wheel is released.
  • the device thus makes it possible to adapt the winding/unwinding cycle according to the number of teeth of the stop wheel.
  • This device makes it possible to ensure a jumping seconds function, but the main drawback is that it is not easy to achieve with a large number of components necessary to perform this operation. In addition, there is a movement of a mobile at the time of the jumping second, which is not desired.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to overcome the drawbacks of the state of the art by providing a watch with a mechanical movement with a compensation or force control mechanism of the jumping seconds type overcoming the drawbacks of the devices of the prior art. aforementioned.
  • the invention relates to a watch with a mechanical movement with a compensation or force control mechanism of the jumping second type, which comprises the characteristics defined in independent claim 1.
  • An advantage of the watch with a mechanical movement with a force control mechanism according to the invention lies in the fact that it comprises a fixed second with energy accumulation for accumulating the necessary energy maintaining several oscillations of the escapement mechanism with the oscillator, in particular in a stop mode before switching to a jump mode.
  • the fixed accumulation seconds maintains a few oscillations of the resonator or oscillator without any part of the gear train coming from the barrel being driven.
  • the fixed accumulation second releases a blocking element, such as a whip after a certain number of oscillations, in particular to move the tourbillon carriage by 6° clockwise (SAM) and the going train coming from the barrel defining a seconds of the jumping seconds type.

  • the watch with a mechanical movement with a force control mechanism and of the jumping seconds type can be with a tourbillon whose cage encloses an oscillator and an escapement mechanism as explained below, or according to a traditional mechanical movement without a tourbillon, which will be explained later with reference to the figure 5 .
  • the figures 1 to 3 represent a part of a mechanical watch movement 1 which is represented without the source of energy, such as the barrel which is the mainspring and which is connected, in this case, to a rocket connected by chains to the spring barrel for its drive. There is also not shown a large medium wheel, which is driven in rotation by a toothing on the periphery of the rocket as explained below with reference to the figure 4 . This energy is applied in the form of a torque to the pinion of the middle wheel 10.
  • the figures 1 to 3 therefore represent a part of a mechanical watch movement comprising a going train 5, 8, 9, 10 in which is arranged a mechanism for controlling the force of the mechanical watch movement 1.
  • This force control mechanism may be similar to a constant force device.
  • the going train is arranged between a source of energy, not shown, which is preferably a spring barrel, and an escapement mechanism, for example with a Swiss lever 13 and having an escape wheel set 11 in the form of a wheel, retained and released alternately by an oscillator 14, which is preferably a spiral balance wheel and whose energy for maintaining it in oscillation is provided by said escape wheel set.
  • the cellphone escapement 11 is arranged to be able to rotate in the same direction of rotation with each half-oscillation of oscillator 14.

  • the SFA accumulation seconds wheel 2 is turned or pivoted by a small step corresponding to each half-oscillation of the oscillator 14.
  • the rotation of the accumulation seconds wheel 2 also causes the escapement wheel set 11 via an escapement pinion 12 coaxial with the escape wheel set of the Swiss lever escapement mechanism 13. This is advantageous for keeping the escapement mechanism functioning with the oscillator 14 in this stopping phase by the force of the SFA spring acting on the rake 3 to rotate the accumulation seconds wheel 2 in an anti-clockwise direction (SIAM).

  • the rake 3 with its spring 4 acting on the accumulation second wheel 2 makes it possible to block or release said going train according to the angular position of said second wheel 2 by retaining a whip 7, as a blocking element.
