Description
L'invention concerne une pièce comportant un indicateur de phases de lune.The invention relates to a piece having a moon phase indicator.
L'invention concerne plus particulièrement une pièce d'horlogerie comportant un mouvement d'horlogerie et un indicateur de phases de lune, dans laquelle l'indicateur de phases de lune comporte un disque denté entraîné pas à pas par une bascule d'entraînement actionnée périodiquement par le mouvement d'horlogerie via un mécanisme à came, dans laquelle le mécanisme à came comporte une roue de commande portant une came qui commande l'actionnement de la bascule une fois par tour de la roue de commande de manière que le disque denté avance d'un pas par tour de la roue de commande.The invention more particularly relates to a timepiece comprising a clockwork movement and a moon phase indicator, in which the moon phase indicator comprises a toothed disc driven step by step by a periodically actuated drive lever. by the clockwork movement via a cam mechanism, wherein the cam mechanism comprises a cam wheel which controls actuation of the latch once per revolution of the control wheel so that the toothed disc advances one step per revolution of the control wheel.
Une pièce d'horlogerie de ce type est décrite et représentée notamment dans le document
La précision d'une telle pièce d'horlogerie, concernant l'affichage des phases de lune, peut être jugée insuffisante par certains utilisateurs. En effet, le disque denté, qui possède ici cinquante neuf dents, est entraîné directement par une roue de commande qui effectue un tour en vingt-quatre heures. Or, la durée d'un mois lunaire est de vingt neuf jours, douze heures, quarante-quatre minutes et 2,806 secondes. Après cinquante-neuf jours, le disque denté a donc effectué un tour complet représentant deux mois lunaires, chacun ayant en moyenne une durée de vingt neuf jours et douze heures. Sur deux mois, l'erreur d'affichage des phases de lune est donc de quarante-quatre minutes et 2,806 secondes en moins par mois.The accuracy of such a timepiece, concerning the display of moon phases, may be considered insufficient by some users. In fact, the toothed disc, which has fifty-nine teeth here, is driven directly by a control wheel which makes a turn in twenty-four hours. Now, the duration of a lunar month is twenty-nine days, twelve hours, forty-four minutes, and 2.806 seconds. After fifty-nine days, the toothed disk thus performed a complete turn representing two lunar months, each having an average duration of twenty-nine days and twelve hours. Over two months, the display error of the moon phases is forty-four minutes and 2.806 seconds less per month.
D'autres indicateurs de phases de lune ont été proposés avec une meilleur précision, mais ceux-ci font généralement appel à un grand nombre de roues d'engrenages ce qui pénalise l'encombrement de l'indicateur de phases de lune et ce qui rend le mécanisme trop complexe.Other moon phase indicators have been proposed with greater precision, but these generally use a large number of gear wheels which penalizes the bulk of the moon phase indicator and what makes the mechanism is too complex.
L'invention vise à améliorer la précision de l'indicateur de phases de lune en proposant une solution simple et peu encombrante.The aim of the invention is to improve the accuracy of the moon phase indicator by proposing a simple and space-saving solution.
Dans ce but, l'invention propose une pièce d'horlogerie du type décrit précédemment, caractérisée en ce que la roue de commande engrène avec un renvoi qui est solidaire en rotation d'une roue d'entraînement effectuant un tour en vingt-quatre heures, en ce qu'un mois lunaire correspond à un nombre N de pas du disque denté, et en ce que la roue de commande effectue un tour en un Nième de mois lunaire.For this purpose, the invention proposes a timepiece of the type described above, characterized in that the control wheel engages with a return which is integral in rotation with a drive wheel performing a turn in twenty-four hours. , in that a lunar month corresponds to a number N of steps of the toothed disc, and in that the control wheel performs a turn in one Nth of lunar month.
Grâce à la pièce d'horlogerie selon l'invention, comme la roue de commande effectue un tour en un Nième de mois lunaire, chaque pas d'entraînement du disque denté correspond exactement à un Nième de mois lunaire. Ainsi, lorsque le nombre N de pas correspondant à un mois lunaire est trente, la roue de commande effectue un tour en 85048,07966 secondes.Thanks to the timepiece according to the invention, as the control wheel performs a turn in one Nth of lunar month, each drive step of the toothed disc corresponds exactly to one Nth of a lunar month. Thus, when the number N of no corresponding to a lunar month is thirty, the control wheel performs a lap in 85048,07966 seconds.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le disque denté comporte soixante dents correspondant à soixante pas, il effectue un tour en deux mois lunaires, et la roue de commande effectue un tour en un trentième de mois lunaire. Le disque denté affiche ainsi deux mois lunaires en une rotation complète.According to a preferred embodiment, the toothed disc comprises sixty teeth corresponding to sixty paces, it performs one revolution in two lunar months, and the control wheel performs a revolution in one thirtieth of a lunar month. The toothed disc thus displays two lunar months in one complete rotation.
Avantageusement, le rapport d'engrenage entre la roue de commande et le renvoi est sensiblement égal à 1.015895953757230, la roue de commande comportant un nombre de dents inférieur à celui du renvoi, par exemple la roue de commande possède 692 dents et le renvoi possède 703 dents. On obtient ainsi une précision optimale de l'indicateur de phases de lune, la rotation complète de la roue de commande correspondant à la durée réelle d'un trentième de mois lunaire au dixième de seconde près.Advantageously, the gear ratio between the control wheel and the return gear is substantially equal to 1.015895953757230, the control wheel having a number of teeth smaller than that of the gearbox, for example the control wheel has 692 teeth and the gearbox has 703 teeth. This gives an optimal precision of the moon phase indicator, the complete rotation of the control wheel corresponding to the actual duration of a thirtieth of a lunar month to the nearest tenth of a second.
Selon des modes de réalisation avantageux, la roue de commande et le renvoi sont réalisés, soit en matériau cristallin, soit en métal électroformé, ce qui facilite la fabrication d'engrenages ayant un grand nombre de dents de manière à améliorer encore la précision de l'indicateur de phases de lune.According to advantageous embodiments, the control wheel and the return are made either of crystalline material or of electroformed metal, which facilitates the manufacture of gears having a large number of teeth so as to further improve the accuracy of the machine. moon phase indicator.
De préférence, le disque denté comporte une denture en dents de loup et l'extrémité d'entraînement de la bascule est pourvue d'un cliquet qui coopère avec ladite denture du disque denté pour entraîner le disque denté en rotation, chaque dent de loup correspondant à un pas d'entraînement. De plus, un organe de correction est prévu pour modifier la position angulaire du disque denté. L'organe de correction comporte un doigt d'entraînement qui est prévu pour venir en appui contre au moins une dent du disque denté. Grâce à cette disposition, on obtient un entraînement pas à pas du disque denté plus facile à corriger, par exemple lorsque la montre a été arrêtée plusieurs jours, sans risque de détériorer des éléments du mouvement d'horlogerie ou de l'indicateur de phases de lune. De plus, grâce au cliquet, la correction peut être effectuée y compris pendant l'actionnement de la bascule.Preferably, the toothed disc comprises a wolf teeth teeth and the driving end of the rocker is provided with a pawl which cooperates with said toothing of the toothed disc to drive the rotating toothed disc, each corresponding wolf tooth at a training pace. In addition, a correction member is provided for changing the angular position of the toothed disc. The correction member comprises a drive finger which is provided to bear against at least one tooth of the toothed disc. With this arrangement, we obtain a drive step by step of the toothed disc easier to correct, for example when the watch has been stopped several days, without risk of damaging elements of the watch movement or the phase indicator of Moon. In addition, thanks to the ratchet, the correction can be performed even during the actuation of the rocker.

Un sautoir 39, qui vient en appui contre des dents 27 du disque denté 22, est prévu pour maintenir en place le disque denté 27 entre les phases d'entraînement par la bascule 24.A
De préférence, il est prévu un organe de correction 33 qui permet de modifier manuellement la position angulaire du disque denté 22 à travers la boîte de la montre.
