Definitions

  • the invention relates to an external control device for a timepiece, this device comprises a crown, which is arranged to be operated by a user, to control, through a driver, a rotation of an internal component to the timepiece.
  • the invention also relates to a timepiece comprising at least one such external control device.
  • the invention relates to the field of control mechanisms for timepieces, and more particularly for watches.
  • the document CH 706 221 discloses a one-way clutch activated in the pulled position of a crown.
  • the invention proposes to produce an external control mechanism for a timepiece, capable of controlling the rotation in one direction of a component internal to the timepiece.
  • the invention relates to an external control device for a timepiece, according to claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to a timepiece comprising at least one such external control device.
  • the invention proposes to produce an external control mechanism for a timepiece, capable of controlling the rotation in one direction of a component internal to the timepiece.
  • the invention relates to an external control device 100 for a timepiece 1000.
  • This device 100 comprises a crown 1, which is arranged to be operated by a user, to control, through a driver 7, a rotation of a component 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, internal to the timepiece 1000.
  • the device 100 comprises a tube 4, which is arranged to pass through an external wall of the timepiece 1000, and to be fixed there while ensuring the tight maintenance of the external control device 100.
  • the crown 1 carries a first barrel 2, which is screwed onto the tube 4, by cooperation of a tapping 41 of the tube 4 with a thread 21 of the first barrel 2.
  • the crown 1 is in one piece with the first barrel 2.
  • the first barrel 2 and/or the tube 4 ensures the guidance, along an axis D, of a second barrel 3 which is coaxial with the first barrel 2 and which is movable only in rotation around the axis D.
  • This second barrel 3 comprises the driver 7, at a distal end which is arranged to be inserted into the timepiece 1000.
  • the second barrel 3 comprises a shoulder resting on an internal surface of a front wall of the tube 4, as visible on the figure 1 , and it is held axially, on the other side of this front wall of the tube 4, by a friction ring 6 which is held tight by the driver 7 which is screwed onto the second barrel 3, this configuration being in no way limiting.
  • the first barrel 2 is movable axially in the direction of the axis D and in rotation around the axis D.
  • the crown 1 and the tube 4 together delimit at least one chamber containing at least one seal 5, of the O-ring type or similar.
  • the first barrel 2 comprises a first unidirectional toothing 9, and the second barrel 3 comprises a second unidirectional toothing 8 which is coaxial and antagonistic to the first unidirectional toothing 9.
  • the tube 4 contains at least one return means elastic 11 resting lower on a lower front surface 101 of the tube 4 or of a support element 10 attached to the tube 4; this at least one elastic return means 11 tends to move the first barrel 2 away from the driver 7, by upper support on an upper front surface 211, 911, which comprises the first barrel 2 or respectively the first unidirectional toothing 9.
  • Optional support element 10 is advantageously made in the form of a ring made of material with a low coefficient of friction, such as “Teflon” or the like.
  • FIG 2 illustrates the position of maximum distance between the first unidirectional toothing 9 and the second unidirectional toothing 8, when the crown 1 is completely screwed onto the tube 4, and is as close as possible to the driver 7.
  • the first unidirectional toothing 9 and the second unidirectional toothing 8 come together and arrive in meshing position with one another a little before the cooperation between the tapping 41 of the tube 4 and the threading 21 of the first stops. canon 2.
  • the Figure 3 illustrates the extreme position, where the crown is only kinematically linked to the second barrel 3 by the meshing between the first unidirectional toothing 9 and the second unidirectional toothing 8, and the crown 1, completely unscrewed, is then at the furthest from coach 7.
  • the cooperation between the first unidirectional toothing 9 and the second unidirectional toothing 8 authorizes the rotational drive of the second barrel 3 in a first single direction of rotation of the crown 1, and prohibits the rotational drive of the second barrel 3 in a second direction opposite to the first direction by jumping against the elastic return means 11 like a ratchet.
  • the screwing stroke of the crown 1 on the tube 4 is slightly greater than the distance between the extreme positions of the first unidirectional toothing 9 and the second unidirectional toothing 8: we understand that after complete unscrewing of the crown 1, in the position visible on the Figure 3 , the first unidirectional toothing 9 and the second unidirectional toothing 8 are then engaged with one another under the thrust of at least one elastic return means 11, illustrated without limitation in the form of a helical spring, and the continuation of a rotation imparted to the crown 1 in the first direction controls the rotation of the second barrel 3. In this same completely unscrewed position, a rotation of the crown 1 does not allow the second barrel 3 to be driven.
  • an axial push by the user on the crown 1 towards the external wall of the timepiece 1000 makes it possible to release the first unidirectional toothing 9 from the second unidirectional toothing 8, and to bring back in cooperation the tapping 41 and the threading 21, to proceed with the screwing of the crown.
  • safety is perfect with regard to the trainer 7, which cannot be caused to rotate by any accidental maneuver.
  • first unidirectional toothing 9 and the second unidirectional toothing 8 constitute the only means of engagement between the crown 1 and the driver 7. This makes it possible both to limit the size and the production cost.
  • first unidirectional toothing 9 is integrally secured to the first barrel 2, or/and the second unidirectional toothing 8 is integrally secured to the second barrel 3.
  • an unremovable connection can be made by welding, gluing, or any other method. another process capable of making the connection irreversible. It is also possible to join the crown 1 in a similar way with the first tube 2 in an unremovable manner. In the particular non-limiting case of the figures, these three non-removable connections are of the chased-welded type. Welding the first unidirectional toothing 9 on the first barrel 2 has the effect of immovably enclosing the second unidirectional toothing 8 previously made integral with the second barrel 3.
  • first unidirectional toothing 9 and the second unidirectional toothing 8 are Breguet teeth, or wolf tooth teeth, which are turned towards each other.
  • the driver 7 comprises at least one tooth or at least one groove for driving a component 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, internal to the timepiece 1000.
  • the figures illustrate a variant where the coach 7 is a pinion.
  • the crown 1 includes a marking 11, in particular a raised marking, which is oriented in a particular angular position in the completely screwed position of the crown 1 on the tube 4.
  • the component internal to the timepiece 1000 is a display component 70, 71, 72, 73, or an intermediate component which is arranged to control a movement of a display component 70, 71, 72, 73
  • the internal component of the timepiece 1000 is an internal control component 74 or an intermediate component arranged to control a movement of an internal control component 74 to trigger or stop a function or perform a reset. zero or one incremental jump.
  • the external control device 100 is distinct from any control rod that the timepiece 1000 comprises.
  • the external control device 100 constitutes a removable and unadjustable subassembly, which constitutes a Single component assembly, very easy to integrate.
  • the execution with non-removable connections between the unidirectional teeth and their respective tubes is particularly advantageous in this regard.
  • the invention also relates to a timepiece 1000 comprising at least one such external control device 100.
  • the timepiece 1000 comprises a flange 70 which is arranged to be driven by the driver 7, and/or an alarm time indicator 71 arranged to be driven by the driver 7, and /or a time zone display 72 arranged to be driven by the trainer 7, and/or a similar display.
  • the timepiece 1000 comprises a calendar mechanism comprising at least one display 73 arranged to be driven by the driver 7.
  • the figures 10 to 17 illustrate the example of the application to a simple date mechanism, for which the user must himself ensure the end of month or leap year corrections: the use of an external control device 100 according to the The invention makes it possible to avoid the usual and awkward adjustment maneuvers by pressing a tip on an internal pusher, or the tedious maneuvers using the control rod, and the user can, very easily and in complete safety, master the transition from February 28 to February 29 for a leap year, or to March 1 in the case of a normal year, by successive commands of one tooth each time; changing the month name can be done in the same way.
  • the timepiece 1000 comprises a chronograph mechanism with a trigger 74 arranged to be driven by the driver 7.
  • the crown 1 of the external control device 100 can be screwed or unscrewed: when it is unscrewed, clutching is done by means of Breguet teeth or the like.
  • This toothing makes it possible to drive the second barrel 3 carrying the driver 7 in one direction of rotation, and thus to rotate an internal component of the timepiece, in particular a watch, such as a flange; if the user moves the crown & in the other direction, the teeth jump, like the sliding pinions in traditional mechanical watch movements.
  • timepiece 1000 is a watch.
