Definitions

  • vibratory drive systems of this type generally a vibratory member is fixed to an elastic arm permitting periodically occuring, substantially rectilinear movements of the vibratory member.
  • vibratory arm and vibratory member may be considered as a resonator.
  • a resonator being in the vibratory condition of a certain resonance frequency is characterized by relatively high intrinsic energy and small transmission of energy outwards.
  • the invention includes also vibratory drive systems, the vibratory members of which are not operated in the condition of a resonance frequency.
  • a driving pawl fixed to the vibratory member and oriented in the direction of vibration.
  • This driving pawl engages the teeth of a ratchet wheel, the pivot bearing of which is arranged immovable relative .to the vibratory member.
  • a stepping pawl the mounted end of which is also immovable relative to the vibratory member engages the teeth of the ratchet wheel.
  • the normal frequency of vibratory drive systems of the aforesaid type usually lies in the range of about 200 to 700 vibrations per second.
  • the diameters of ratchet wheels of known construction are about 1 to 3 mm.
  • the parts of vibratory drive systems converting the periodic rectilinear movements into unidirectional rotary movements offer important technological problems to the designer.
  • Such, e.g. the efficiency of the conversion of movements must be very high, namely for two reasons.
  • the first reason consists in that the energy consumption of a vibratory drive system, e.g. for small watches is not allowed to exceed a predetermined value depending on the energy content of a battery of a decided size and commercial availability.
  • a further problem in vibratory drive systems of the aforesaid type is explicable by the fact that e.g. in the use for wrist watches the total transmission of energy should lie within the range of only a few microwatts.
  • the useful forces thereby appearing in a vibratory drive system are accordingly small. Therefore, very small disturbing forces may lead to operating troubles.
  • Such disturbing forces appear e.g. between the pawls and the ratchet wheel if between these parts there arise layers of liquids, such as water or oil, the molecular attraction of which in the form of surface tension and adhesion force may exceed the useful forces.
  • the aforesaid layers of liquids arise by diffusion, i.e.
  • the solution of the problem consists in that on a vibratory member two pawls are disposed nearly in parallel with the direction of vibration, said pawls engaging the teeth of a ratchet wheel.
  • the ratchet wheel is movably disposed on said vibratory member and magnetically coupled to a coupling wheel supported by a stationary part. Under the influence of the mass inertia on the one hand and the accelerations by the vibratory member on the other hand at least in the direction of vibration ratchet wheel and pawls may be caused to perform reciprocal movements leading to unidirectional rotary movements of the ratchet wheel.
  • An especially advantageous embodiment of the vibratory drive system according to the invention is characterized in that the ratchet wheel concerning its rotation axis is movable relative to the vibratory member, while the pawls are fixed to the vibratory member.
  • the ratchet wheel concerning its rotation axis could be fixed to the vibratory member, while only the pawls would be movable relative to the vibratory member.
  • the known pawls have too small masses, while from the masses of the known ratchet wheels it may be expected right off that great enough useful forces will appear.
  • the pawls and the ratchet wheel are located within a closed sleeve detachably mounted on the vibratory member.
  • the sleeve may be filled with a liquid having a low vapor pressure or low viscosity or with one of the known lubricating gases.
  • suitable liquids for this purpose are silicone oils or solutions,
  • the ratchet wheel comprises at least one pair of magnetic poles having a relatively high magnetic intensity.
  • This pair of magnetic poles may be set right axially or radially according to the arrangement of the coupling wheel and the ratchet wheel relative to each other.
  • both wheels have the same direction of rotation, and corresponding poles remain always in the non-positive connection given once for all.
  • the axis of the coupling wheel may be displaced relative to that of the ratchet wheel in such a manner that both wheels rotate oppositely and roll off each on the other relative to virtual rotation radius.
  • the ratchet wheel is disposed on the vibratory member, and the vibratory member moves relative to the rotation axis of the coupling wheel the ratchet wheel moves relative to the coupling wheel.
  • the magnetic coupling may be dimensioned so that the transmission of the torque from the ratchet wheel to the coupling wheel is not affected by the periodical fluctuations of the distance between both the rotation axes, even if the amplitude of the rectilinear movements of the vibratory member relative to the dimension usual hitherto is substantially increased.
  • additional conditions must be considered for the construction of the vibratory drive system according to the invention.
  • the vibratory drive system includes stops expediently fixed to the vibratory member, said stops limiting the reciprocal mobility between ratchet wheel and pawls in the direction of vibration, and moreover the arrangement of the stops, the pawls and the ratchet wheel on the vibratory member being such that from one position of rest the reciprocal mobility in one direction is approximately one-fourth of the length of a tooth on the ratchet wheel and in the opposite direction approximately three fourth of the same length.
  • the pawls and the ratchet wheel are arranged together on a very small base plate so that the reciprocal positions of the parts are not substantially affectable either by thermic or mechanical disturbances.
  • the positions of the pawls relative to the ratchet wheel could be set right only during the operating condition, i.e. dynamically, in the vibratory drive system according to the invention the position of the pawls relative to the ratchet wheel is set right in the static state. This simplifies the production very substantially.
  • All sensitive component parts of the new vibratory drive system may be combined in a single component part insensitive per se, the production of which is therefore independent on the production of the other parts.
  • the sensitive component parts may be withdrawn from atmospheric influences by enclosure thereof.
  • the frequency of the normal vibrations may be considerably increased, which is advantageous especially for the use as a time keeping element in an electric clock.
  • The. output of the new vibratory drive system the number of revolutions is less affectable by external shocks than is the case in the known vibratory drive systems, because in the new vibratory drive system in contrary to the known systems the number of revolutions is independent of the amplitude whereas in electric clocks utilizing known vibratory drive systems an amplitude disturbed by shocks returns only slowly to its normal value.

  • the rotation axis of the ratchet wheel 9 is approximately perpendicular thereto.
  • the sleeve 8 is preferably gastight closed.
  • the ratchet wheel 9 transfers magnetically a torque to a coupling wheel 12, which is arranged out of the sleeve 8 and is also shown only schematically.
  • the rotation axis of the coupling wheel 12 is designated by a cross 13 and extends approximately in parallel with that of the ratchet wheel 9, however far beyond the reach of the ratchet wheel, which envolves certain constructive advantages.
  • the coupling wheel could also be arranged approximately coaxial to the ratchet wheel 9. In this case, however, its magnetically effective diameter would be limited approximately to that of the ratchet wheel.
  • the coupling wheel 12 may be connected to the gear train and the hands of a timepiece, watch or clock. Wheels 9 and 12 are permanently magnetized with poles as shown in FIG. 1
