Abstract

The invention relates to a timepiece comprising a mechanism for improving the accuracy of mechanical time measuring instruments using a balance-spiral system. According to the invention, the differences between the duration of oscillation in different vertical and horizontal positions are compensated by the fact that the system is rotated about three axes by a mechanism and is thus continuously moved into different positions, the differences in duration of oscillation thus being compensated in a defined space of time.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein mechanisches System in der Uhrmacherei, um dieThe invention relates to a mechanical system in watchmaking, in order to
Ganggenauigkeit einer Uhr oder Zeitmessgerät zu verbessern.To improve the accuracy of a watch or timepiece.
Mechanismus zur Verbesserung der Ganggenauigke it von mechanischen Zeitmessern mit Balancier-Spiral-System. Wobei d e Unterschiede der Schwingungsdauer in verschiedenen Vertikal- und Hori zontal-Lagen dadurch ausgeglichen werden, dass das System von einem Mechanismus um drei Achsen gedreht wird und somit ständig andere Lagen einnimmt und damit die Unterschiede der Schwingungsdauer in einem definierten Zeitraum ausgleicht.Mechanism to improve the accuracy of mechanical timepieces with a balancing spiral system. The differences in the period of oscillation in different vertical and horizontal positions are compensated for by the fact that the system is rotated around three axes by a mechanism and thus constantly occupies different positions, thus compensating for the differences in the period of oscillation in a defined period.
Der Erfindung liegt zunächst folgendes Problem zugrunden, in einem mechanischen, schwingenden Balancier-Spiralfeder-System, mit einer Hemmung als einschließendes Uhrenteil, ist die Schwingungsperiode von derThe invention is based on the following problem, in a mechanical, oscillating balancing coil spring system, with an escapement as an enclosing watch part, the oscillation period is from
Formel T = 2π — gegeben, wobei I das grundlegende Trägheitsmoment desFormula T = 2π - given, where I is the basic moment of inertia of the
Balanciers und C der Erinnerungsmoment der elastischen Kraft der Spiralfeder ist. Wenn diese Beziehung beständig ist, ist die Bewegung gleichmässig. Während des Ganges eines Stückes, verändern zahlreiche Faktoren, welche im Besonderen von den Lagen des feststehenden Systems abhängen, den Wert der Beziehung l/C. Ein wichtiger Faktor der das System beeinflusst sind die Reibungskräfte, besonders diejenigen, die auf die Lagerpunkte des Balanciers einwirken. Ein weiterer wichtiger Faktor der das System beeinflusst ist ein Schwerpunkt des Balancier-Spiral-Systems, welcher nicht im Zentrum der Balancierachse liegt. Ein weiterer wichtiger Faktor der das System beeinflusst ist eine ungleichmässige Kraftzufuhr vom Energiespeicher über das Räderwerk an das Balancier-Spiral-System. Diese Kräfte sowie Schwerpunkt-fehler erzeugen Unterschiede ΔT der Schwingungsperiode T des Balanciers-Spiral- Systems. Um diese Effekte einzudämmen, hat der Uhrmacher Breguet das Tourbillon erfunden, das daraus besteht, die Organe des Systems in einem Käfig unterzubringen, in der das Balancier mitaxial ist, so dass sich die Unterschiede ΔT mindestens teilweise während der Bewegungen des Stückes ausgleichen. Mit der Erfindung des Tourbillons konnten die Schwingungszeitenunterschiede in den Vertikal- Lagen beseitigt werden. Die Unterschiede der Schwingungsdauer des Balancier-Spiral-Systems zwischen den Horizontal- und Vertikal-Lagen wurden dadurch jedoch nicht gelöst. Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Mechanismus zur Verbesserung der Ganggenauigkeit von Uhren oder Zeitmessgeräten. Gewöhnlicherweise ist das Balancier-Spiral-System in fix mit der Werkplatine verbundenen Lagern gelagert. Unterschiedliche Lagen erzeugen daher unterschiedliche Schwingungszeiten des Balancier-Spiral-Systems. Ausserdem entsteht durch vielfältige Einflüsse ein aussermittig liegender Schwerpunkt des Balancier- Spiral-Systems. Dieser erzeugt insbesondere in den verschiedenen vertikalen Lagen unterschiedliche Schwingungszeiten des Balancier-Spiral-Systems. Zur Lösung dieses technischen Problems wird nach bevorzugter Ausführungsform der Erfindung der Tourbillon-Mechanismus um zwei weitere Achsen gedreht. So dass sich der Tourbillonkäfig insgesamt um drei Achsen dreht. Somit nimmt der Tourbillonkäfig regelmässig die verschiedenen Horizontal- und Vertikal-Lagen ein und gleicht somit die unterschiedlichen Schwingungszeiten in den unterschiedlichen horizontalen und vertikalen Lagen aus.Balanciers and C is the moment of memory of the elastic force of the coil spring. If this relationship is constant, the movement is smooth. During the course of a piece, numerous factors, which depend in particular on the positions of the fixed system, change the value of the relationship I / C. An important factor influencing the system is the frictional forces, especially those that act on the bearing points of the balancer. Another important factor influencing the system is a focus of the balancing spiral system, which is not in the center of the balancing axis. Another important factor influencing the system is an uneven power supply from the energy storage via the gear train to the balancing spiral system. These forces as well as center of gravity errors produce differences ΔT in the oscillation period T of the balancing spiral system. To stem these effects, watchmaker Breguet invented the tourbillon, which consists of the organs of the system in one To accommodate the cage in which the balancer is coaxial, so that the differences ΔT compensate at least partially during the movements of the piece. With the invention of the tourbillon, the differences in oscillation times in the vertical positions could be eliminated. However, this did not resolve the differences in the oscillation period of the balancing spiral system between the horizontal and vertical positions. The present invention relates to a mechanism for improving the accuracy of clocks or timepieces. The balancing spiral system is usually stored in bearings that are permanently connected to the work circuit board. Different positions therefore produce different oscillation times for the balancing spiral system. In addition, an eccentric focus of the balancing spiral system is created due to diverse influences. This produces different oscillation times of the balancing spiral system, especially in the different vertical positions. To solve this technical problem, the tourbillon mechanism is rotated about two further axes according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. So that the tourbillon cage turns a total of three axes. The tourbillon cage therefore regularly occupies the different horizontal and vertical positions and thus compensates for the different oscillation times in the different horizontal and vertical positions.
Die Erfindung ist insbesondere dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass sich die Antriebskugellager-Achse, die Winkelplattform-Achse und die Tourbillonkäfig- Achse je nach bevorzugter Bauart nicht zwingend schneiden müssen und dass die Antriebskugellager-Achse, die Winkelplattform-Achse und die Tourbillonkäfig-Achse je nach bevorzugter Bauart nicht zwingend senkrecht aufeinander stehen müssen. Somit kann durch die Wahl der Bauart der Schwerpunkt des Gesamtmechanismus in seiner Lage und Bewegung beeinflusst werden. Zum Beispiel durch Änderung der Position und Winkel der Drehachsen zueinander. Eine Variante besteht darin das Balancier-Spiral-System nur um eine weitere Achse drehen zulassen, so dass sich die Gesamtheit des Mechanismus nur um zwei Achsen dreht und eine fest stehend bleibt.The invention is particularly characterized in that the drive ball bearing axis, the angled platform axis and the tourbillon cage axis do not necessarily have to intersect, depending on the preferred design, and that the drive ball bearing axis, the angled platform axis and the tourbillon cage axis, depending on the preferred type Design does not necessarily have to be perpendicular to each other. Thus, the position and movement of the center of gravity of the overall mechanism can be influenced by the choice of the design. For example, by changing the position and angle of the axes of rotation to each other. One variant is to allow the balancing spiral system to rotate only around an additional axis, so that the whole of the mechanism only rotates around two axes and one remains stationary.
Eine weitere Variante besteht darin den Mechanismus an einem beliebigen Ort mit einem Zusatz zu versehen, der dazu geeignet ist das Balancier-Spiral- System mit konstanter Antriebskraft zu versehen.Another variant is to provide the mechanism at any location with an additive which is suitable for providing the balancing spiral system with constant driving force.
