Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electronic watch comprising a Dewar device, such a watch being particularly adapted to operate under extreme temperatures.
  • a Dewar device such a watch being particularly adapted to operate under extreme temperatures.
  • Such an electronic watch is for example a quartz watch.
  • An electronic watch conventionally comprises a bracelet and a watch case comprising several electrical or electronic components. It is known in the state of the art that some of these components do not withstand extreme temperatures, and cease to function correctly at these temperatures.
  • LCD liquid crystal displays Liquid Crystal Display
  • quartz tolerate temperatures not exceeding approximately 80°C (degrees Celsius), and not falling below 0 °C.
  • temperatures can frequently reach values of approximately -150°C to +125°C.
  • the invention relates to an electronic watch comprising a bracelet and a watch case comprising at least one electrical or electronic component, said watch comprising at least one Dewar device configured to contain at least one of said electrical or electronic components, said at least one Dewar device comprising internal and external walls and a vacuum or quasi-vacuum space defined between these said walls, the internal wall delimiting a volume in which said at least one electrical or electronic component can be arranged .
  • At least one Dewar device which encapsulates the electrical or electronic components of the watch, the latter are protected from possible extreme temperatures outside which can be between -150 and +125 degrees Celsius.
  • Such a watch configuration thus makes it possible to use standard electrical or electronic components in contexts and environments where temperatures can be extreme, such as for example space or lunar missions. This allows costs to be rationalized as well as maintaining a reasonable complexity for the components used in the watch for such missions.
  • THE figures 1 to 3 represent an electronic watch 2 according to the invention.
  • the electronic watch 2 comprises a bracelet 4 and a watch case 6.
  • the electronic watch 2 is for example a quartz watch.
  • the watch case 6 conventionally comprises at least one electrical or electronic component 8a-8g.
  • the watch box 6 includes seven electrical or electronic components 8a-8g, which constitute sensitive parts of the watch 2.
  • the watch box 6 can include more electrical or electronic components than those shown in these figures, or can only include a subset of components among components 8a-8g.
  • the watch case 6 thus comprises, for example, a device display 8a, a processor 8b, a memory 8c, an energy storage component 8d, a motor 8e, an integrated circuit 8f and an electronic oscillator 8g.
  • the watch case 6 further comprises at least one Dewar device 10.
  • This Dewar device 10 has the same properties and characteristics as a Dewar tube/vase well known in the state of the art. As will be seen later, the properties and characteristics of this Dewar 10 device contribute to giving it good thermal insulation with regard to temperatures that may prevail in the external environment in which it may be located.
  • This device comprises a confinement/encapsulation space 14 which is here a volume 14 defined inside this device 10 and which is intended to receive at least one of said electrical or electronic components 8a-8g so that it is thermally isolated from the external environment. This volume 14 is also called confinement/encapsulation volume 14.
  • the watch case 6 therefore comprises this Dewar device 10. More precisely, this Dewar device 10 is formed in whole or in part by the watch case 6. Such a Dewar device 10 is pre-configured to contain at least one of said electrical or electronic components 8a-8g. In other words, this device 10 comprises space 14, or volume 14, in which each component can be arranged by being encapsulated in this space 14.
  • the Dewar device 10 can contain all of the electrical or electronic components 8a-8g of the watch 2.
  • this Dewar device 10 is then formed by parts of the watch case 6 such as a middle part 20, a mirror 18 and a bottom 19. The assembly of these parts helps to create the confinement space 14, or confinement volume 14, of this Dewar device 10 provided for the arrangement of components 8a-8g.
  • These three parts, the middle part 20, the glass 18 and the bottom 19 can be separate parts and joined together subsequently to construct this encapsulation space 14, or encapsulation volume 14.
  • the middle part 20 and the bottom 19 of the box can together form a single piece visible on the figure 2 , said one-piece piece defining an opening opposite the bottom 19 which can be closed by the glass 18 in a removable manner.
  • the middle part 20 and the crystal 18 of the watch case 6 can together form a one-piece part, said one-piece part defining an opening opposite the glass 18 which is capable of being closed by the bottom 19 and this, also in a removable way. In these configurations, the space 14, or the volume 14, is formed between these three parts.
  • this Dewar device 10 comprises the internal wall formed by internal walls of the glass 18, the bottom 19 and the middle part 20, and the external wall 12b formed by external walls of this glass 18, this bottom 19 and this middle part 20. These internal and external walls 12a, 12b are separated by the space 16 under vacuum or quasi-vacuum. In addition, this internal wall 12a delimits the volume 14 in which the electrical or electronic components 8a-8g can be arranged.
  • this Dewar device 10 has an internal wall 12a which is formed by an internal wall of at least one other part of the watch case 6 (the crystal 18, the back 19 or the middle 20) and d an interior wall of the partitioning part, and the external wall 12b is formed by an exterior wall of at least one other part (the glass 18, the bottom 19 or the middle part 20) and an exterior wall of the partitioning room.
  • these internal and external walls 12a, 12b are separated by the space 16 under vacuum or quasi-vacuum.
  • this internal wall 12a delimits the volume 14 in which the component(s) 8a-8g can be arranged.
  • the watch case 6 comprises an enclosure 21 conventionally comprising the movement of the watch and which is delimited in particular by the interior walls of the middle part 20 and the back 19.
  • Such an enclosure 21 also comprises at least one Dewar device 10 containing at least one of said electrical or electronic components 8a-8g.
  • This Dewar 10 device can enclose/encapsulate a single component or multiple components at a time.
  • This Dewar device 10 can be integrated into the movement of the watch 2.
  • each Dewar device 10 arranged in the enclosure 21 of this watch case comprises the internal walls 12a and external 12b which are separated by the space 16 under vacuum or quasi-vacuum. In this configuration, this internal wall 12a delimits the volume 14 in which the component(s) 8a-8g can be arranged.
  • several Dewar devices encapsulating one or more components 8a-8g can be placed within the enclosure of the watch case.
  • the Dewar device 10 can typically comprise two thin internal and external walls 12a, 12b nested one inside the other.
  • An internal wall 12a of the device 10 delimits the confinement/encapsulation space 14 (or confinement/encapsulation volume 14) inside which each electrical or electronic component 8a-8g is arranged.
  • An external wall 12b of the device 10 which, depending on the variants, can be arranged on the exterior side of the watch 2, or on the exterior side of the watch 2 and in the enclosure of the watch case.
  • the Dewar device 10 thus defines an empty or quasi-empty space 16 which separates the first internal wall 12a from the second external wall 12b. It is clearly understood here that this space 16 is hermetically closed and that it is under vacuum or almost under vacuum.
  • These walls 12a, 12b are preferably made in a non-limiting and non-exhaustive manner from a metallic material, from glass or from thermosetting or thermoplastic polymer resins reinforced with carbon or glass fibers or even from ceramic materials.
  • the internal and external walls 12a, 12b are transparent or semi-transparent, for example being made of glass, the exterior surface of this internal wall 12a and the interior surface of this external wall 12b are coated with a metallic reflective coating. or similar, such as for example a layer of silver.
  • the glass 18 of the watch case 6 is formed of a transparent or semi-transparent window.
  • this ice 18 is included in the Dewar device 10, that is to say it participates in the formation of this device 10, it then comprises interior and exterior walls which are also respectively the internal and external walls 12a, 12b of the Dewar device 10 between which walls 12a, 12b is therefore also defined the empty space 16 (or under vacuum) or near-vacuum (or near-vacuum).
  • the interior and exterior walls of this partition part, of this middle part 20, of the crystal 18 and the back 19 are also the internal and external walls 12a, 12b of the Dewar device 10 of this watch 2.
  • these interior and exterior walls of the partitioning part, of the middle part 20, of the ice 18 and bottom 19 then participate in forming together the internal and external walls 12a, 12b of the Dewar device 10.
  • Such a Dewar device 10 thus provides the watch 2 with very good thermal insulation with respect to the external environment by reducing or even preventing heat loss from the encapsulation volume 14 by radiation.
  • the temperature outside the watch 2 reaches extreme values, typically of the order of -125 to +125 ° C
  • the temperature inside the encapsulation space 14 (or volume of encapsulation 14) remains substantially equal to the temperature of the ambient environment in which the encapsulation was carried out, typically of the order of 20°C.
