Description détaillée des modes de réalisation préférésDetailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments

Comme illustré aux figures 1 à 4, l'invention se rapporte à un composant horloger généralement annoté 1 destiné à coopérer avec un élément de support 3. Dans l'exemple utilisé ci-dessous, le composant horloger 1 est un mobile sensiblement discoïdal et l'élément de support 3, un axe cylindrique à section circulaire, cependant, ils ne sauraient s'y limiter.As illustrated in Figures 1 to 4 the invention relates to a generally annotated watch component 1 intended to cooperate with a support element 3. In the example used below, the watch component 1 is a substantially discoidal mobile and the support element 3, a cylindrical axis with circular section, however, they can not be limited.

Dans l'exemple visible à la figure 1, on peut voir un composant horloger 1 monté sur un élément de support 3. Préférentiellement, l'élément de support 3 comporte un axe 2 venu de matière avec un pignon 4. Le composant horloger 1 comporte un moyeu 5 comportant une ouverture 7, quatre bras 9 et une serge dentée 11. Avantageusement selon l'invention, le composant horloger 1 est monté sur l'élément de support 3 au moyen d'un système de serrage 13 situé autour de l'ouverture 7 traversant ledit composant.In the example visible at figure 1 a watch component 1 mounted on a support element 3 can be seen. Preferably, the support element 3 comprises an axis 2 formed integrally with a pinion 4. The watch component 1 comprises a hub 5 comprising an opening 7, four arm 9 and a toothed serge 11. Advantageously according to the invention, the watch component 1 is mounted on the support member 3 by means of a clamping system 13 located around the opening 7 passing through said component.

Le système de serrage 13 est destiné à exercer une contrainte radiale sur l'axe 2 afin de solidariser le composant horloger 1 avec l'élément de support 3. Le système de serrage 13 est une alternative au chassage qui n'est pas toujours possible pour des matériaux comme le carbure de silicium, la silicium cristallisé, la silice cristallisée ou encore l'alumine cristallisée.The clamping system 13 is intended to exert a radial stress on the axis 2 to secure the watch component 1 with the support member 3. The clamping system 13 is an alternative to driving that is not always possible for materials such as silicon carbide, crystallized silicon, crystallized silica or crystallized alumina.

Le système de serrage 13 comporte préférentiellement un dispositif de pincement radial 15 et un dispositif de verrouillage 17. Le dispositif de pincement 15 comporte principalement une couronne 6 et un évidement 8. La couronne 6 est destinée à pincer la surface externe de l'axe 2. Elle est préférentiellement crénelée et comporte plusieurs lames 12 dont la section intérieure 14 forme le bord de l'ouverture 7 afin de mieux gérer localement le débattement de la couronne 6. Ainsi, avantageusement selon l'invention, chaque lame 12 est indépendante et se déplace élastiquement suivant la contrainte propre qui lui est soumise.The clamping system 13 preferably comprises a radial clamping device 15 and a locking device 17. The clamping device 15 mainly comprises a ring 6 and a recess 8. The ring 6 is intended to clamp the outer surface of the axis 2 It is preferably crenellated and comprises several blades 12 whose section inner 14 forms the edge of the opening 7 to better locally manage the movement of the crown 6. Thus, advantageously according to the invention, each blade 12 is independent and moves elastically according to the own stress that is subject to it.

Comme visible à la figure 3, la section intérieure 14 est tronconique selon un angle α afin d'augmenter localement la contrainte de pincement. Dans l'exemple illustré aux figures 1 à 4, la section supérieure de l'ouverture 7 est ainsi plus petite que la section inférieure. Selon l'invention, l'angle α peut être compris entre sensiblement 0 et 5 degrés. On comprend donc que la contrainte de pincement de la couronne 6 du dispositif de pincement 15 sera maximale au niveau de son extrémité libre, c'est-à-dire à l'extrémité des lames 12.As visible at figure 3 , the inner section 14 is frustoconical at an angle α in order to locally increase the pinch stress. In the example shown in Figures 1 to 4 , the upper section of the opening 7 is thus smaller than the lower section. According to the invention, the angle α may be between substantially 0 and 5 degrees. It is therefore understood that the clamping stress of the ring 6 of the clamping device 15 will be maximum at its free end, that is to say at the end of the blades 12.

L'évidement 8 est destiné à autoriser un débattement de la couronne 6. Selon l'invention, l'évidement 8 est préférentiellement borgne et communique entre chaque lame 12 avec l'ouverture 7. Chaque lame 12 peut ainsi louvoyer de manière indépendante entre l'évidement 8 et l'ouverture 7. Préférentiellement selon l'invention, l'évidement 8 est également destiné à coopérer avec le dispositif de verrouillage 17.The recess 8 is intended to allow a clearance of the crown 6. According to the invention, the recess 8 is preferably blind and communicates between each blade 12 with the opening 7. Each blade 12 can thus glide independently between the 8 and the opening 7. Preferably according to the invention, the recess 8 is also intended to cooperate with the locking device 17.

Selon l'invention, en fonction de l'application du composant horloger, l'évidement 8 peut comporter une profondeur comprise entre 5 et 85 % de l'épaisseur du composant horloger.According to the invention, depending on the application of the watch component, the recess 8 may have a depth of between 5 and 85% of the thickness of the watch component.

Le dispositif de verrouillage 17 est destiné à maintenir une contrainte minimale du système de serrage 13 contre l'axe 2 en bornant le louvoiement des lames 12 lorsque le positionnement global est jugé satisfaisant. Ainsi, le dispositif de verrouillage 17 comporte une clé de verrouillage 10 sensiblement discoïdale comprenant un trou 16 et sur la face inférieure une collerette 18.The locking device 17 is intended to maintain a minimum stress of the clamping system 13 against the axis 2 by limiting the sway of the blades 12 when the overall positioning is considered satisfactory. Thus, the locking device 17 comprises a substantially discoidal locking key 10 comprising a hole 16 and on the lower face a collar 18.

Préférentiellement, le trou 16 est traversant et de section intérieure de plus grande taille que le diamètre extérieur de l'axe 2 afin de pouvoir y coulisser sans frottement gras. La collerette 18 de forme générale annulaire comporte une section intérieure 19 sensiblement tronconique afin de rendre progressif le verrouillage du positionnement des lames 12.Preferably, the hole 16 is through and of larger internal section than the outer diameter of the axis 2 in order to slide without fat friction. The collar 18 of general annular shape has a substantially frustoconical inner section 19 in order to progressively lock the positioning of the blades 12.

Par conséquent, à l'aide de la figure 3, on comprend que la clé de verrouillage 10 est coulissée contre l'axe 2 au travers de son trou 16 pour que sa collerette 18 soit reçue dans l'évidement 8. La collerette 18, une fois insérée, empêche ainsi le déplacement des lames 12 vers l'évidement 8 par butée de sa section intérieure 19 en verrouillant leur positionnement.Therefore, using the figure 3 it is understood that the locking key 10 is slid against the axis 2 through its hole 16 so that its flange 18 is received in the recess 8. The flange 18, once inserted, thus prevents the displacement of the blades 12 towards the recess 8 by abutment of its inner section 19 by locking their positioning.

Préférentiellement, le composant horloger 1 est réalisé en matériau micro-usinable afin de pourvoir obtenir une précision inférieure au micron. De tels matériaux peuvent être, par exemple, mais non exclusivement du carbure de silicium, du silicium cristallisé, de l'alumine cristallisé ou de la silice cristallisée. En effet, de tels matériaux peuvent être gravés selon la précision requise notamment au moyen d'un procédé du type gravage ionique réactif profond (DRIE). De plus, de manière préférée, la clé de verrouillage 10 est formé d'un matériau ductile comme, par exemple, un métal.Preferably, the watch component 1 is made of micro-machinable material so as to obtain a precision less than one micron. Such materials may be, for example, but not exclusively silicon carbide, crystallized silicon, crystallized alumina or crystalline silica. Indeed, such materials can be etched according to the required accuracy, in particular by means of a process of the deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) type. In addition, preferably, the locking key 10 is formed of a ductile material such as, for example, a metal.

Bien entendu, la présente invention ne se limite pas à l'exemple illustré mais est susceptible de diverses variantes et modifications qui apparaîtront à l'homme de l'art. En particulier, suivant les applications prévues et/ou le matériau utilisé, les dimensions de l'évidement 8 et de la collerette 18 peuvent différer tout comme leur espacement respectif par rapport à l'ouverture 7.Of course, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example but is susceptible of various variations and modifications that will occur to those skilled in the art. In particular, according to the intended applications and / or the material used, the dimensions of the recess 8 and the flange 18 may differ as their spacing relative to the opening 7.
