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 (rubbing rest escapement) or without contact (free exhaust).
  • the escapement performs two main phases, which are release (or count) and impulse (or sustain).
  • 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 pendulum.
  • the winding of the spring is ensured by the displacement 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 patent CH 702 179 B1 describes a deadbeat seconds system for a timepiece. It comprises a deadbeat second mobile with a first arm rotating around a first axis thanks to a spring mounted coaxially on the first axis, and a pin for winding the spring. It further comprises a second mobile rotating around a second axis to block and unblock the first arm to cause a jump of the first arm linked to a deadbeat seconds indicator. A middle wheel is further provided to rotate around a third axis to block or unblock the pin. In the locked state, this allows the spring to be charged, whereas in the unlocked state, this allows rotation of the arm provided that it is not blocked by the second wheel set.
  • the patent CH 330 892 A describes a jumping second timepiece for performing one jump per second.
  • a drive wheel integral with the second axis and a rocker subjected to the action of a spring with a pinion at its free end and a lift.
  • the pinion meshes with the driving wheel and the jumping seconds driven wheel.
  • a jump of one second is performed by the action of the spring and the rocker returning to its initial position.
  • 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 second type overcoming the drawbacks of the devices of the prior art mentioned above. .
  • 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 seconds hand with energy accumulation for accumulating the energy necessary to maintain 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 second of the second type jumping.
  • a blocking element such as a whip
  • SAM clockwise
  • the whip is released and by it, the intermediate wheel linked to the whip, the middle wheel, the large middle wheel and the barrel to drive the tourbillon carriage in a step of 6° in a direction opposite to the accumulation of the fixed second.
  • the tourbillon cage can be moved angularly after a certain number of oscillations defining one second.
  • the fixed seconds wheel with defined accumulation SFA is intended to move in the stopping phase by a certain number of small steps following the oscillations of the spiral spring of the oscillator linked to the escapement mechanism, which is of the Swiss anchor.
  • 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 escape wheel set 11 is arranged to be able to rotate in the same direction of rotation with each half-oscillation of the oscillator 14.
  • the escape wheel set 11 meshes with a second wheel 2 which is subsequently defined as an accumulation second wheel SFA.
  • This second wheel 2 is called a fixed second wheel SFA, even if it is not fixed in its operation.
  • This fixed second wheel 2 can rotate counterclockwise (SIAM) to maintain the operation of the escapement mechanism linked to the oscillator in a stop mode, and rotate clockwise.
  • a watch (SAM) in a jump mode to perform a jump corresponding to 1 second.
  • the fixed seconds wheel 2 with SFA accumulation preferably comprises peripheral toothing meshing with an escapement toothed pinion 12 coaxial with said escapement wheel set 11.
  • the fixed accumulation seconds wheel 2 rotates counter-clockwise (SIAM) and drives the escapement wheel set 11 at each half-oscillation of the oscillator 14 via the toothed pinion of escapement 12 so as to maintain the operation of the oscillator and of the escapement mechanism in this stopping phase.
  • SIAM counter-clockwise
  • the SFA 2 fixed accumulation seconds wheel pivots in SIAM on the tourbillon cage 15, which is stopped like a chrono second pinion, like the Blancpain-type chronos, i.e. that is to say that the axis of the tourbillon cage 15, which includes the seconds pinion 5, is with two pivoting heads as described later in figure 6 .
  • the axis can be of a diameter equal to 0.35 mm.
  • the force control mechanism comprises on the one hand a preferably rotary blocking element 7 arranged to cooperate with a stop member 3 in connection with the second wheel to accumulation 2 in stop mode.
  • this stop member 3 is a rake 3, rotatably mounted about an axis 33 at a first end of the rake 3, while at a second free end of the rake 3, it comes into contact for example with a cam 6 or guide portion secured to said SFA second wheel 2.
  • a spring 4 of rake 3 is further provided to push or pull said rake 3 towards cam 6.

  • a second end of the spring 4 is fixed to an eccentric piece 34 arranged at the level of the first end of the rake 3 and next to the axis 33 of the first end of the rake 3, which allows adjustment of the force of the spring.
  • the spring 4 of the rake 3 pushes by the eccentric part 34 said rake 3 towards the guide cam 6, which may have the shape of a tooth as shown.
  • 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 cause the accumulation seconds wheel 2 to turn in an anti-clockwise direction (SIAM).
  • SIAM anti-clockwise direction
  • 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.

  • This stop piece is a pallet 3a, which can be made of a material that reduces friction such as ruby.
  • the fixed accumulation seconds wheel 2 can turn by 5 small steps s1 to s5 corresponding to 6° angle representing 1 second in the opposite direction.
  • the whip 7 is itself driven by the going train and retained by the stopper 3a. Once released at the end of the stopping phase, the rotation of the rake 3 releases the whip 7 which triggers the jump phase.
  • the whip 7 performs a rotation corresponding to a jump of 1 second, driven by the going train, in the case shown, a half-turn.
  • the going train likewise drives the tourbillon cage 15 via the seconds pinion 5 and the fixed accumulation seconds wheel 2 SFA in the clockwise direction (SAM), which resets the spring 4.
  • This spring 4 of accumulation second wheel 2 is arranged to accumulate energy when said second wheel 2 is driven in SAM during the jump phase and return it to said second wheel 2 in SIAM during the stop phase.
  • the frequency of oscillator 14 is generally higher than 1 Hz and for example in this case can be set to 2.5 Hz.
  • the spring 4 of the second wheel 2 must therefore provide energy during the 5 half-oscillations of the oscillator 14 or the carriage is stopped, and be reset during the jump of the said carriage 15.
  • half-oscillations of oscillator 14 can be provided in the stop phase depending on the frequency of oscillation of oscillator 14.
  • Each half-oscillation must be equal to 0.5 Hz.
  • the number of small steps taken by the wheel of fixed second 2 in the stop phase must correspond to a jump of 1 second in the jump phase.

  • the 2 SFA accumulating seconds wheel is driven by cage 15, because the escapement mechanism also rotates with the cage.
  • the rearming of the spring 4 takes place quickly, which means that the end of the whip 7 comes back directly into contact with the stopper 3a once the whip 7 has turned 180°. As soon as this new blockage occurs, a new stopping phase operation takes place.

  • the fixed accumulation seconds wheel 2 meshes with the escapement pinion 12, so that when the tourbillon cage 15 turns every second, a rotation is also performed for the escapement mechanism linked to the oscillator and is also the fixed accumulating seconds wheel 2.
  • the guide cam 6 is effectively secured to the fixed accumulation second wheel 2.
  • the rake 3 comprises a part in contact with the cam 6 in the form of a tooth and, on the other side, a blocking pallet 3a to block the whip 7 in a stop mode.
  • the whip 7 also includes an axial locking pinion 8, which can be rotated when the whip 7 is released in the jump mode. All other elements have already been explained above and will not be repeated again.
  • the mechanical movement may be a traditional mechanical movement with an accumulating seconds wheel also in connection to drive or maintain the escapement wheel set with the oscillator in a stop phase.
