Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a watch movement of the self-winding type comprising a frame carrying a driving member, kinematically connected to a mechanical oscillator to maintain its oscillations, in particular via an escape wheel, and an automatic winding mechanism comprising an oscillating mass arranged to supply the motor member with energy.
  • the Zouth International S.A. factory has also proposed an alternative solution to try to improve the movement of watch movements, by mounting the mechanical oscillator on a secondary frame connected to the main frame of the movement by a cardan joint. Thanks to this construction, the mechanical oscillator, composed of a balance associated with a spiral spring, is maintained in a horizontal plane permanently.
  • EP1615085A1 discloses a self-winding watch movement comprising a mechanical oscillator and an escape wheel pivotally mounted in the oscillating winding mass of the movement. This system, however, employs two complex construction differentials with bevel gear satellites. There is a need to achieve a simpler system.

  • the differential gear comprises a carrier rotatably mounted on the frame, a satellite rotatably mounted on the planet carrier forming the first input, the carrier having a toothing kinematically connected to the oscillating weight for forming the second input and, a free output wheel rotating relative to the carrier, kinematically connected to the escape wheel to form the output of the differential gear.
  • the output wheel may mesh with the escape wheel, either directly or via an intermediate wheel which may optionally be integral with a vortex cage carrying the escape wheel and the mechanical oscillator.
  • the movement comprises a first return rotatably mounted on the frame and arranged, on the one hand, in engagement with a pinion integral with the oscillating mass and, on the other hand, in engagement with the toothing of the door -satellite.
  • the gear ratio between the pinion integral with the oscillating mass and the toothing of the planet carrier is advantageously chosen in such a way that, when the escape wheel is stationary, the planet carrier presents at every moment a angular displacement identical to that of the oscillating mass.

  • the automatic winding mechanism comprises in particular an oscillating mass 1 rotatably mounted at the center of the movement along an axis X1.
  • the oscillating mass 1 comprises a frame 2 by which it is connected to the main frame of the movement, namely here to the plate 4.
  • the frame 2 of the oscillating mass has a J-shaped section, as it is more clearly apparent from the figure 2 , inside which is housed a tourbillon 5.
  • the vortex 5 comprises a cage 6 including an escape wheel 8, a balance 9 and a spiral 10, the latter two elements constituting a mechanical oscillator.
  • the pinion of the escape wheel meshes with a ring gear 11 integral with the oscillating mass.
  • An intermediate gearwheel 12, or ring gear, is integral with the vortex casing in a conventional manner, the latter being intended to be connected to a finishing gear train for transmitting energy from the motor unit to the gearbox. mechanical oscillator, via the escape wheel.
  • the watch movement according to the present invention further comprises a differential gear 14 of axis X1 comprising a planet carrier 15 rotatably mounted with reference to plate 4 and comprising a bridge 16 carrying a satellite 17 defining a first input of the planet. differential gear.

  • the output wheel 19 meshes with the intermediate wheel 12 of the vortex 5.
  • a wheel 21 kinematically connected to the drive member is arranged in engagement with the satellite 17 to transmit the force thereto.
  • an inverting reference 22 has been provided on the embodiment of the figure 1 , by way of nonlimiting illustration, between the satellite 17 and the pinion 33 secured to the output wheel 19, so that the latter transmits the force of the drive member to the escape wheel 8 with the correct direction of rotation.
  • inverting reference 22 has been provided on the embodiment of the figure 1 , by way of nonlimiting illustration, between the satellite 17 and the pinion 33 secured to the output wheel 19, so that the latter transmits the force of the drive member to the escape wheel 8 with the correct direction of rotation.

  • This comprises a first wheel 26, close to the plate, kinematically connected to the drive member and the wheel 21, bridge side, arranged in engagement with a first wheel 30 of the satellite 17.
  • the satellite comprises a second wheel 32 arranged in taken with a free pinion 33 on the planet carrier 15, thus of the output wheel 19.
  • the satellite 17 constitutes a first input of the differential gear for retransmitting the force of the drive member to the escape wheel 8 via the intermediate wheel 12.
  • figure 2 plans to directly connect the satellite 17 to the pinion 33, contrary to the embodiment of the figure 1 wherein the second wheel 32 of the satellite 17 is arranged in engagement with a first wheel of an inverting gear 22 whose second wheel is in engagement with the pinion 33, to reverse the direction of rotation of the latter.
  • an inverting gear (not shown) producing the same effect is disposed in the drive train between the wheel 26 and the drive member.
  • a simple return that is to say having only one wheel, is also possible without departing from the scope of the present invention.
  • a mobile 35 is rotatably mounted on the hollow shaft 24 while being fixed rigidly to the frame 2 of the oscillating mass, for the purpose of carrying out the mounting of the latter in rotation with reference to the platinum 4.
