Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a timepiece component, that is to say a component intended to be integrated into a timepiece such as a watch or a pendulum.
  • the present invention more particularly relates to a timepiece component, for example a wheel or a ferrule, intended to be resiliently mounted on an axis.
  • Such a component comprises elastic arms arranged to clamp the axis and thus maintain the component thereon.
  • the arms can be straight. They may also have a non-straight form, for example V, to increase their length so as to allow, by adjusting their other dimensions, to increase their stiffness and thus the clamping force of the axis. Examples of such components with straight or non-straight elastic arms are described in the documents EP 1,513,029 , EP 1 705 533 , EP 1 708 045
  • the latter When mounting the component on the axis, the latter deforms the arms so that they exert their elastic clamping function. This deformation of the arms causes a deformation or poorly round the periphery of the component. In some cases, particularly when the arms are attached at both ends to the rest of the component and have a non-straight shape, the roundness of the periphery may be important. Such a roundness can be detrimental to the operation of the component, especially when the periphery has an active function such as a meshing function.
  • the present invention aims to provide a watch component adapted to be mounted elastically on an axis and whose deformation of the periphery due to its mounting on the axis remains limited.
  • a clock component intended to be mounted on an axis and comprising a central portion and a peripheral portion, the central portion comprising elastic clamping arms of the axis and an outer portion surrounding the arms and to which the arms are attached, and comprising lights between the peripheral portion and the outer portion characterized in that these lights are arranged such that the peripheral portion is attached to the outer portion in discrete areas of the latter each comprising a point which is not moved radially during the deformation of the arms by the axis.
  • a watch component according to a first embodiment of the invention consists of an escape wheel comprising a central or inner part 1 and a peripheral or outer part 2.
  • the central portion 1 comprises three V-shaped elastic arms 3 placed at 120 ° relative to one another about the imaginary axis 4 of the wheel and an outer or circular peripheral portion 5, of axis 4, which surrounds the arms 3 and to which each arm 3 is attached by its two ends.
  • the arms 3 and the outer portion 5 are defined by first lumens 6 formed in the central portion 1.
  • the respective tips of the V define concave surfaces 7 arranged at 120 ° relative to each other in the vicinity and around the axis imaginary 4. These surfaces 7 are the contact surfaces of the wheel with the axis (physical) 8 on which it is intended to be mounted.
  • the axis 8 has a diameter greater than the diameter of the zone between the surfaces 7 so that its introduction into this zone deforms the arms 3 towards the peripheral part 2, causing the axis 8 to be clamped by the arms 3 and thus the maintaining the wheel on the axis 8.
  • the imaginary axis of the latter coincides with the imaginary axis 4 of the wheel.
  • the arms 3 have a variable width so that the stresses that makes them undergo the axis 8 are distributed more evenly over their entire length.
  • the peripheral portion 2 also called serge of the wheel, has the toothing 9 of the wheel.
  • the peripheral portion 2 coaxially surrounds the central portion 1 and is attached to the latter only in discrete zones 10 of the outer portion 5.
  • the wheel comprises second lights 11, six in number in the illustrated example, which separate the peripheral portion 2 of the outer portion 5 except at the intervals 12 between the slots 11.
  • These slots 11 are arranged in a circle coaxial with the peripheral portion 2 and the outer portion 5 and thus form a broken circular line.
  • the gaps 12 between the slots 11 constitute discrete portions of connection of the peripheral portion 2 to the discrete zones 10 of the outer part 5 and are radially aligned with the discrete zones 10.
  • the position and the length of the slots 11 are determined in such a way that the discrete zones 10 are areas of least displacement, that is to say zones each containing a point that is not displaced during the introduction of the axis 8 between the arms 3. These areas of less displacement can be determined by simulation methods known to those skilled in the art, for example by a finite element method. The number of these zones, six in the illustrated example, depends on the number and the geometry of the arms 3.
  • the figure 2 shows exaggeratedly the deformation of the wheel during its mounting on the axis 8. It is seen that at the right of some lights 11a the outer part 5 deforms outwards while the right of other lights 11b the outer portion 5 deforms inwardly. Between two consecutive lights 11a, 11b, in each discrete zone 10, the direction of the local deformations of the outer part 5 changes, which implies that there exists in this zone a (single) point of zero displacement. As the peripheral portion 2 is attached to the central portion 1 only in areas of less displacement, it is only slightly affected by the deformation of the central portion 1 due to the axis 8. Its deformation and therefore the poorly-rounded of the wheel are reduced, thus allowing a reliable cooperation between this wheel and an exhaust anchor.
  • the present invention is not limited to a particular number of arms.
  • the figure 3 shows an escape wheel according to a second embodiment of the invention, comprising two elastic arms 13 V placed at 180 ° relative to each other about the imaginary axis of the wheel.
  • a poor roundness of the wheel of 2.8 microns for a holding force of 1.5 Newtons was found, compared with a poor roundness of 10 microns found in the case where the lights 11 are omitted.
  • the number of discrete zones of attachment 10 may be equal to or less than the number of zones of least displacement of the outer portion 5. In the examples of figures 1 and 3 , it is equal to the number of zones of least displacement. A smaller number of discrete areas can be obtained from one or other of the examples of figures 1 and 3 by extending two consecutive lights 11 to meet each other.
  • the present invention does not exclude giving a straight form to arms.
  • the present invention does not exclude that the arms are attached to the outer portion 5 by one of their ends only.
  • the watch component according to the invention may be a meshing gear, a rake, a spiral shell, an escape anchor, a rocker or a small plate to be mounted on the axis of a sprung balance to cooperate with the stinger of an exhaust anchor.
  • the meshing wheel, the rake, the anchor and the small plate the small deformation of their periphery when mounted on their axis, permitted by the present invention, increases the reliability of their operation, c that is to say, of their cooperation with their respective partners (meshing wheel, escape wheel and dart).
  • the small deformation of its periphery during its assembly on the axis makes it possible to maintain substantially fixed the point of attachment of the spiral to the ferrule and thus improve the isochronism of the sprung balance.
  • the invention maintains its inertia substantially constant when mounted on the axis.
  • the watch component according to the invention in particular its peripheral part, does not necessarily have a circular shape. It could have another shape, for example polygonal, depending on the function of the component.
