Definitions

  • the invention relates to a watch cap forming a housing for handling and/or presenting a watch movement according to a caliber model belonging to a predetermined family, said movement comprising a control member projecting radially relative to a axis of movement and the distal part of said control member is distant from said axis of movement by a radial value specific to said model, said cap comprising a transport ring specific to said caliber model and which is arranged to cooperate by nesting in a position unique angular, on the one hand with a bottom, and on the other hand with a cover, for the enclosing of said movement with the exception of its said control member passing radially, in a radial direction, at least a first clearance that includes said transport ring.
  • the invention relates to production equipment for the handling and/or presentation on a manufacturing or control or storage station of watch movements according to different models of calibers belonging to a predetermined family.
  • the invention relates to the field of assembly, handling and testing of watch movements.
  • EP2015148B1 on behalf of ETA SA Manufacture Horlogère Suisse describes a system for handling and transporting watch movements of different types during manufacture, comprising different types of support rings which respectively correspond to the different types of movements and are arranged to each support a plate with one movement in a determined position.
  • This system further comprises transport pallets each having an opening arranged to removably receive any of the support rings, the opening of the pallets and the outer contour of the support rings having mutually adapted standardized configurations and means retainer to hold the support ring in the pallet.
  • This transport ring comprises interior elements arranged to support a plate of the movement in a determined position, in which the interior elements of the support ring comprise bearing surfaces and prestressing means, the support ring comprising, on the outside, reference surfaces capable of serving as supports for precise positioning of the support ring in space.
  • prestressing means are elastic, and are arranged to deform elastically by moving away at the time of introduction of the movement, thus ensuring precise positioning of the movement plate in the ring.
  • Such a transport pallet more commonly called a cap
  • a movement control operation in particular a gait or status control
  • present this movement in a very precise position in front of one or more sensors, or even in contact with this or these sensors.
  • the diversity of existing calibers makes the task difficult, due to the diversity of the caps linked to the caliber models.
  • the invention aims to facilitate the control of watch movements of a predetermined family of calibers, by creating a family of caps comprising reference surfaces for its positioning, and such that an element of the movement is positioned at a given dimension. imposed in relation to the contour of the cap which encloses it.
  • the invention relates to a watch cap forming a case for handling and/or presenting a watch movement according to a caliber model belonging to a predetermined family, according to claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to production equipment for the handling and/or presentation on a manufacturing or control or storage station of watch movements according to different models of calibers belonging to a predetermined family, comprising such a cap for each caliber model of this family.
  • the invention relates to a watch cap 200 forming a housing for handling and/or presenting a watch movement 400 according to a caliber model belonging to a predetermined family.
  • the movement 400 comprises a control member 410, which projects radially relative to an axis of movement DM, and the distal part 411 of this control member 410, for example the end of a crown, is distant from the movement axis DM of a radial value VR specific to this model of movement caliber 400.
  • the cap 200 comprises a transport ring 220, which is specific to this caliber of the movement 400, and which is arranged to cooperate by nesting in a single angular position, on the one hand with a bottom 210, and on the other hand with a cover 230, for enclosing the movement 400 with the exception of its said control member 410 passing radially, in a radial direction DR, at least a first clearance 221 that the transport ring 220 comprises.
  • the cap 200 has an identical external shape for all calibers in the family, and it includes external reference surfaces 240, at least some of which are symmetrical with respect to a cap axis DC.
  • the transport ring 220 is arranged to position the movement axis DM of the movement 400 eccentric with respect to the cap axis DC, in the radial direction DR defined by this first clearance 221, according to an eccentricity value which is such that the distal part 411 of the control member 410 is distant from the cap axis DC by a value predefined VP, the predefined VP value being identical for any caliber in the family.
  • the 210 base is the same for all calibers in the family.
  • the bottom 210 and the cover 230 each comprise, perpendicular to the cap axis DC, a flat outer plate 218, respectively 238, and of identical contour in projection with one another, in the closed position of the cap 200 where the bottom 210 and the cover 230 are angularly indexed in position relative to the transport ring 220 and fitted with it.
  • the transport ring 220 comprises an outer lip 225, which, in the closed position of the cap 200 where the bottom 210 and the cover 230 are angularly indexed in position relative to the transport ring 220 and fitted with it, is protruding relative to surfaces 219, 239, which respectively comprise the bottom 210 and the cover 230.
  • the outer lip 225 is of identical contour in projection with the flat outer plates 218, 238, of the bottom 210 and of the cover 230, in the closed position of the cap 200 where the bottom 210 and the cover 230 are angularly indexed in position relative to the transport ring 220 and fitted with it.
  • the cover 230 internally comprises cover projections 232, which are arranged to support the transport ring 220 in the axial position, in the direction of the cap axis DC, in a position of the cap 200 where the cover 230 is angularly indexed in position relative to the transport ring 220 and fitted with it.
  • the transport ring 220 comprises ring projections 222, which are arranged to support the bottom 210 in the axial position, in the direction of the cap axis DC, in a position of the cap 200 where the bottom 210 is angularly indexed in position relative to the transport ring 220 and fitted with it.
  • the transport ring 220 comprises a lug or a ring groove 223 to cooperate with a bottom groove or respectively a bottom lug 213 that the bottom 210 comprises, for the relative angular orientation of the bottom 210 relative to the transport ring 220 in a position of the cap 200 where the bottom 210 is angularly indexed in position relative to the transport ring 220 and fitted with it.
  • the outer lip 225 is offset, in the direction of cap DC, relative to the cap 200, in the closed position of the cap 200 where the bottom 210 and the cover 230 are angularly indexed in position relative to the ring transport ring 220 and fitted with it, to delimit, on the side of the cover 230, an upper chamber for receiving the movement 400 on an upper face of the transport ring 220 arranged so as to make the dial side visible of the movement 400 and so as to ensure the radial passage of the control member 410, and, on the bottom side 210, a lower chamber, of volume less than that of the upper chamber, and delimited by a lower face of the ring transport 220 arranged so as to make the bridge side of the movement 400 visible.
  • the bottom 210 and the cover 230 are transparent to allow optical control of the movement 400.
  • the bottom 210 and the cover 230 are sound insulating to soundly isolate a movement 400 contained in the cap 200 from other sound sources in its vicinity, for acoustic control of the movement 400.
  • the bottom 210, the transport ring 220, and the cover 230 are arranged for nesting with elastic pinching two by two.
  • the distal part 411 of the control member 410 is distant from the cap axis DC by the predefined value VP which is identical for any caliber in the family , and oriented in a radial direction DR of unique angular position relative to identical positioning means and keying means for all the caps 200 included in the equipment 2000.
