Selon la présente invention, un tel mécanisme comporte encore un dispositif régulateur comprenant au moins un organe régulateur relié à la plate-forme portant le dispositif régulateur (de préférence par le biais une chaîne cinématique inertielle), tel que décrit ci-dessous en se référant aux
Le principe de tels mécanismes évitant les écarts de marche consiste à monter l'organe réglant, généralement le balancier-spiral, l'ancre et la roue d'échappement sur une plate-forme mobile en rotation suivant un ou deux axes orthogonaux par rapport à la platine du mouvement de montre, cette plate-forme étant soumise à l'action d'un balourd qui permet ainsi de maintenir ladite plate-forme dans un plan fixe de référence (soit horizontal, vertical ou éventuellement incliné), par l'action de la gravité terrestre quelle que soit la position de la montre et donc de son mouvement.The principle of such mechanisms avoiding gait deviations consists in mounting the regulating member, generally the sprung balance, the anchor and the escape wheel on a mobile platform rotated along one or two orthogonal axes with respect to the platinum of the watch movement, this platform being subjected to the action of an unbalance which thus makes it possible to maintain said platform in a fixed reference plane (either horizontal, vertical or possibly inclined), by the action Earth's gravity whatever the position of the watch and therefore its movement.
Un rouage de ce mécanisme comporte une chaîne cinématique motrice reliant la roue d'échappement au système barillet ainsi qu'une chaîne cinématique correctrice qui compense les mouvements et les vitesses de la plate-forme par rapport à la platine pour que ces mouvements de la plate-forme ne perturbent pas la chronométrie de la pièce d'horlogerie. En particulier, comme on le verra plus loin, grâce à cette chaîne cinématique correctrice lorsque la plate-forme entre en rotation sous l'effet de son balourd, il est possible d'annuler l'effet des déplacements et de la vitesse de la plate-forme sur la chaîne cinématique principale motrice.A mechanism of this mechanism includes a driving kinematic chain connecting the escape wheel to the barrel system and a corrective kinematic chain that compensates the movements and speeds of the platform relative to the plate so that these movements of the plate -form do not disrupt chronometry of the timepiece. In particular, as will be seen below, thanks to this corrective kinematic chain when the platform rotates under the effect of its unbalance, it is possible to cancel the effect of displacements and the speed of the plate -form on the main driving kinematic chain.

Selon une autre particularité des mécanismes illustrés aux
Nonobstant ce qui précède, il est précisé que les différentes formes d'exécutions et variantes du mécanisme évitant les écarts de marche du dispositif réglant d'un mouvement d'horlogerie, qui seront maintenant décrites sont à titre d'exemple non limitatifs.Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is pointed out that the various embodiments and variants of the mechanism avoiding the deviations of the running device of a clockwork movement, which will now be described are by way of non-limiting example.
La première forme d'exécution du mécanisme évitant les écarts de marche d'un dispositif réglant d'un mouvement horloger est illustrée à la
Le dispositif réglant comportant un balancier 2, une ancre (non illustrée) et une roue d'échappement 3 est porté par une plate-forme 4 pivotée sur la platine 1 du mouvement concentriquement à l'axe A-A. Comme illustré dans les figures, l'axe de rotation A-A de la plate-forme 4 comprend un premier arbre moteur 20 et un second arbre moteur 22, la plate-forme étant construite afin que ces deux arbres moteurs tournent autour de ce même axe A-A. Dans cette forme d'exécution, l'axe du balancier 2 est parallèle à cet axe de rotation A-A de la plate-forme 4.The regulating device comprising a
La roue d'échappement 3, pivotée coaxialement à l'axe A-A sur la plate-forme 4, est solidaire d'une roue d'entraînement ou seconde roue motrice 5 reliée à la roue d'échappement par le second arbre moteur 22. Cette seconde roue motrice 5 est en prise avec le premier mobile 6.2 d'un satellite 6 pivoté fou dans un porte satellite 7 qui est lui-même pivoté sur la plate-forme 4 et actionné en rotation autour de l'axe A-A par une roue de porte satellite 7.1. De cette manière, le porte satellite 7 constitue effectivement une cage tournant concentriquement avec la plate-forme 4 et dans laquelle le mobile satellite 6 est monté fou. Comme on verra ci-dessous, la vitesse de rotation de ce porte satellite 7 est fonction de la vitesse de rotation de la plate-forme 4 autour de l'axe A-A.The
Le second mobile 6.1 du satellite 6, solidaire et coaxial au premier mobile 6.2 de ce satellite 6 est en prise avec une première roue motrice 8 solidaire du premier arbre moteur 20 pivoté sur la platine 1 du mouvement. La roue 8 et l'arbre 20 sont solidaires de la roue de seconde 9 du rouage moteur du mouvement d'horlogerie. De manière conventionnelle, cette roue de seconde 9 est reliée cinématiquement au système barillet 10 du mouvement d'horlogerie par l'intermédiaire de la roue de moyenne 12 et de la roue de centre 11 toutes pivotées sur la platine 1 du mouvement d'horlogerie suivant des axes parallèles à l'axe A-A.The second mobile 6.1 of the
La roue d'échappement 3 est ainsi reliée au barillet 10 par une chaîne cinématique principale motrice comportant un train d'engrenages épicycloïdaux droits formé de la roue d'entraînement 5, des premier 6.1 et second 6.2 mobiles du satellite 6, de la première roue motrice 8, de la roue de seconde 9, la roue de moyenne 12, la roue de centre 11 et le barillet 10. Cette chaîne cinématique principale motrice ne comporte aucun renvoi conique et présente donc un très bon rendement, par exemple un rendement qui est sensiblement égal au rouage moteur d'une montre mécanique classique.The
Quand un déplacement de la pièce d'horlogerie portant ce mécanisme provoque une rotation de la plate-forme 4 autour de l'axe A-A, en l'absence de chaîne cinématique correctrice, les mobiles de la chaîne cinématique principale motrice sont entraînés en rotation ce qui occasionnerait des perturbations au niveau de l'affichage de l'heure et notamment sur l'échappement.When a displacement of the timepiece carrying this mechanism causes the
Pour annuler les effets de ces perturbations un mobile de la chaîne cinématique principale motrice, en l'occurrence le mobile 6, est monté fou dans le porte satellite 7, ce dernier faisant partie d'une chaîne cinématique correctrice comportant également la roue de porte satellite 7.1, un mobile fou 13, pivoté sur la plate-forme 4 suivant un axe parallèle à l'axe A-A, et une roue fixe 14 concentrique à l'axe A-A et solidaire de la platine 1 du mouvement. Le mobile fou 13 comporte une première roue 13.1 engrenant avec la roue de porte satellite 7.1 et une seconde roue 13.2 (solidaire et coaxiale avec la roue 13.1) en prise avec la roue fixe 14.To cancel the effects of these disturbances, a mobile of the main driving driveline, in this case the mobile 6, is mounted idle in the
Ainsi, grâce à la chaîne cinématique correctrice comprenant la roue fixe 14, le mobile fou 13, la roue de porte satellite 7.1, et le porte satellite 7 portant le satellite 6, lorsque la plate-forme 4 entre en rotation, le porte satellite 7 est entraîné en rotation avec une vitesse V7 qui est fonction de la vitesse de la plate-forme 4 V4 (ces vitesses étant relatives à un repère fixe). Cette relation dépend du rapport de transmission entre les roues 14, 13.2, 13.1 et 7.1, notamment :
Rx étant le nombre de dents de la roue X.Rx being the number of teeth of wheel X.
Un choix judicieux des différents rapports d'engrenages permet d'actionner le mobile 6 en rotation autour de l'axe A-A afin d'annuler l'effet des déplacements et de la vitesse de la plate-forme 4 sur la chaîne cinématique principale motrice. Notamment, si on désigne V9 a vitesse de la roue de moyenne en sortie de la plate-forme Vu la vitesse utile transmise à l'échappement (ces vitesses étant encore relatives à un repère fixe), on obtient la relation suivante :
Pour rendre V9 indépendant de V4, il suffit d'annuler le terme (k1 + k2 - k1.k2). La relation à satisfaire devient donc :
Le balourd de la plate-forme 4 peut être constitué par le dispositif réglant, balancier-spiral et échappement, lui-même puisqu'il peut être monté sur la plate-forme 4 de façon décalée par rapport à l'axe de rotation A-A de celle-ci. On évite ainsi d'alourdir le mouvement d'horlogerie. Bien entendu, dans des variantes un poids ou masse pourrait être fixé de façon excentrée par rapport à l'axe A-A sur la plate-forme 4 pour augmenter le balourd de celle-ci.The unbalance of the
La
Dans cette exécution c'est la roue de seconde 9 qui est solidaire et concentrique à la roue d'entraînement 5 par l'intermédiaire du second arbre moteur 22. La première roue motrice 8 est, elle, solidaire par le premier arbre moteur 20, d'une troisième roue motrice 15 en prise avec la roue de moyenne 12.In this embodiment it is the
En embarquant un mobile du rouage moteur conventionnel, ici la roue de seconde 9, sur la plate-forme 4 on minimise grandement l'influence que peut avoir la rotation de la plate-forme 4 sur le couple transmis à l'échappement par la chaîne cinématique principale motrice. On peut bien entendu embarquer un second, voir un troisième mobile du rouage moteur conventionnel sur la plate-forme 4, plus le nombre de mobiles embarqués est grand, moins la rotation de la plate-forme 4 a d'effet sur le couple transmis du barillet 10 à la roue d'échappement 3. On remarque que dans cette forme d'exécution, la vitesse Vu sus-indiquée devient la vitesse utile transmise au premier mobile embarqué sur la plate-forme 4, donc la roue de seconde 9 dans la
Les
La plate-forme 4 est formée d'un pont supérieur 4.1, d'un pont intermédiaire 4.2 portant un pont d'échappement 3.1 et d'un pont inférieur 4.3 pivoté sur la platine 1 concentriquement à l'axe A-A.The
Les trois ponts 4.1, 4.2 et 4.3 de la plate-forme 4 sont reliés solidairement ensemble par des colonnes 4.4 ce qui assure que tous ces éléments de la plate-forme tournent ensemble librement en rotation par rapport à la platine.The three bridges 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 of the
La troisième roue motrice 15 est solidaire de l'extrémité inférieure du premier arbre moteur 20 pivoté par un palier 21 dans la platine 1, l'arbre 20 étant libre en rotation par rapport à la platine comme indiqué ci-dessus. Ce premier axe moteur 20 comporte à son extrémité supérieure la première roue motrice 8.The
La roue fixe 14 de la platine 1 engrène avec la seconde roue 13.2 du mobile fou 13 tandis que la première roue 13.1 de ce mobile fou, pivoté fou sur le pont inférieur 4.3 engrène avec la roue du porte satellite 7.1 du moyeu inférieur du porte satellite 7 pivoté dans le pont inférieur 4.3 concentriquement à l'axe A-A autour du premier arbre moteur 20. Le satellite 6 est pivoté fou sur le porte satellite 7, la seconde roue 6.1 du satellite 6 est en prise avec la première roue motrice 8 tandis que la première roue 6.2 du satellite 6 engrène avec la roue d'entraînement ou seconde roue motrice 5 qui est solidaire de l'extrémité inférieure du second arbre moteur 22 pivoté sur le pont intermédiaire 4.2 de la plate-forme 4. Ce second arbre moteur 22 porte la roue de seconde 9 qui est en prise avec le pignon 3.2 de la roue d'échappement 3. Sur cette
Sur la
La
Le second arbre moteur 22 est prolongé au-delà du pont intermédiaire 4.2 de la plate-forme 4 et est également pivoté dans le pont supérieur 4.1 de cette plate-forme 4. Dans cette variante de la première forme d'exécution du mécanisme dans laquelle la roue de seconde 9 est embarquée sur la plate-forme 4, l'extrémité supérieure libre de ce second arbre moteur 22 est prolongée au-delà du pont supérieur 4.1 et porte une aiguille des secondes 23 coopérant avec un cadran des secondes 24 porté par la face supérieure du pont supérieur 4.1 de la plate-forme 4.The
Dans une telle forme d'exécution, le cadran des secondes 24 tourne autour de l'axe A-A au gré des déplacements de la plate-forme 4. L'aiguille des secondes 23, elle, tourne également au gré des déplacements de la plate-forme mais est en plus entraînée par la chaîne cinématique principale motrice en rotation par rapport au cadran 24. De cette façon, à un instant donné ou si le mouvement de la montre est arrêté, cette aiguille des secondes 23 reste immobile par rapport au cadran de secondes 24 bien que le cadran tourne autour de l'axe A-A.In such an embodiment, the seconds dial 24 rotates about the axis AA at the mercy of the movements of the
L'affichage de l'heure et des minutes s'effectue de façon classique à partir d'un mobile du rouage moteur du mouvement d'horlogerie, généralement la roue de centre 11 ou la roue de grande moyenne 12, par une minuterie pour entraîner l'aiguille des heures et des minutes qui coopèrent avec un cadran fixe par rapport à la platine du mouvement d'horlogerie.The display of the hour and minutes is done conventionally from a mobile of the clockwork motor drive, generally the
L'affichage des secondes décrit précédemment dans le cadre du mécanisme est original et ludique car il tourne sur lui-même à chaque mouvement de la plate-forme, c'est-à-dire chaque fois que l'orientation de la montre dans l'espace change dus aux mouvements du porteur de cette montre.The display of the seconds previously described in the frame of the mechanism is original and playful because it turns on itself with each movement of the platform, that is to say whenever the orientation of the watch in the frame. space change due to the movements of the wearer of this watch.
Grâce à ce mécanisme évitant les écarts de marche d'un dispositif réglant, il est possible de maintenir par l'effet de la gravité agissant sur le balourd de la plate-forme 4 le balancier dans un plan fixe de référence, de préférence horizontal ou vertical mais pouvant également être incliné, quelle que soit l'orientation spatiale de la platine 1 autour de l'axe A-A. Ainsi les mouvements imprimés par le porteur de la montre autour de cet axe A-A n'ont de manière générale, plus d'influence sur la marche du dispositif réglant qui travaille toujours dans les mêmes conditions. La présence d'une seule et unique chaîne de correction suffit pour supprimer l'influence des déplacements et de la vitesse de la plate-forme 4 sur la roue d'échappement 3 et donc sur le dispositif réglant et sur l'affichage horaire car ils sont intégralement compensés. Dans la forme d'exécution où la roue de seconde 9 est embarquée sur la plate-forme, les couples parasites pouvant provenir des mouvements de la plate-forme 4 sur la roue d'échappement sont encore réduits.Thanks to this mechanism avoiding the deviations of a regulating device, it is possible to maintain by the effect of the gravity acting on the unbalance of the

La troisième forme d'exécution exemplaire d'un mécanisme évitant les écarts de marche d'un organe réglant d'un mouvement horloger illustré schématiquement à la
Ce mécanisme comporte une cage 30 pivotée sur la platine 1 autour d'un second axe de rotation B-B. La plate-forme 4 de la
Comme dans la forme d'exécution décrite en référence à la
La roue de seconde 9 engrène avec le renvoi conique 25 solidaire de la roue d'entraînement ou seconde roue motrice 5 pivotée sur la plate-forme 4 concentriquement au premier axe de rotation A-A autour duquel tourne ladite plate-forme 4. Toujours comme précédemment décrit, cette roue d'entraînement 5 engrène avec la première roue 6.2 du satellite 6 dont la cage porte satellite 7 pivote autour du premier axe de rotation A-A sur la plate-forme 4. La seconde roue de satellite 6.1 engrène avec la première roue motrice 8 pivotée concentriquement au premier axe de rotation A-A sur la cage 30 qui, elle, est pivotée autour du second axe de rotation B-B sur la platine 1. Cette première roue motrice 8 est solidaire de la troisième roue motrice 15 toutes deux pivotées sur la cage 30.The
Le porte satellite 7 est en prise par sa roue de porte satellite 7.1 avec la première roue 13.1 du mobile fou 13 pivoté fou sur la plate-forme 4 dont la seconde roue 13.2 engrène avec la première roue 32.1 d'un mobile correcteur 32 dont la seconde roue 32.2 présente une denture conique. Ce mobile correcteur 32 est pivoté sur la plate-forme 4, notamment autour du premier arbre moteur 20, concentriquement à son axe de rotation A-A sur la cage 30. Ce mobile correcteur 32 engrène par sa seconde roue 32.2 avec la roue fixe 14 solidaire de la platine 1. Dans cette exécution la roue fixe 14 présente donc une denture conique.The
La troisième roue motrice 15 présente également une denture conique et engrène avec la première roue à denture conique 34.1 d'un second mobile fou 34 pivoté fou sur la cage 30. La seconde roue 34.2 de ce second mobile fou 34 est en prise avec une quatrième roue motrice 35 pivotée concentriquement au second axe de rotation B-B sur la cage 30. Cette quatrième roue motrice 35 est solidaire d'une cinquième roue motrice 35A reliée cinématiquement au barillet 10 par un rouage moteur du mouvement pouvant comporter une roue de centre 11 et une roue de grande moyenne 12 par exemple (ces dernières n'étant pas montrées dans la
Dans cette troisième forme d'exécution, la plate-forme 4 qui porte le dispositif réglant 2, 3 a donc deux degrés de liberté, rotation autour d'un premier axe A-A et rotation autour d'un second axe B-B orthogonal au premier axe A-A. La plate-forme 4 présentant un balourd, formé par le dispositif réglant 2, 3 ou par un balourd additionnel peut ainsi se déplacer en fonction de l'orientation spatiale quelconque de la platine 1 du mouvement pour garantir le maintien dans un plan fixe de référence du balancier 2 et ainsi éviter les écarts de marche dus à la gravité quelle que soit la position de la montre ou les mouvements imposés à celles-ci.In this third embodiment, the
Dans cette forme d'exécution, la chaîne cinématique principale motrice comprend la cinquième roue motrice 35A, la quatrième roue motrice 35, le second mobile fou 34, la troisième roue motrice 15, la première roue motrice 8, le satellite 6, la roue d'entraînement (ou seconde roue motrice) 5 et le renvoi conique 25 ainsi que la roue de seconde 9 et la roue d'échappement 3.In this embodiment, the main drive train comprises the
La chaîne cinématique correctrice, elle, comporte dans cette forme d'exécution la roue fixe 14, le mobile de correction 32, le premier mobile fou 13, la roue du porte satellite 7.1, et le porte satellite.The corrective kinematic chain, it comprises in this embodiment the fixed
Pour tous ces mécanismes, pour mieux éviter que de fortes accélérations ne soient transmises à l'organe réglant, le balancier-spiral 2, lors des mouvements de la plate-forme 4 dus aux changement d'orientation de la montre suivant les mouvements du porteur de cette montre un mécanisme selon l'invention, comporte encore un dispositif régulateur reliant la plate-forme 4 à un organe régulateur tel qu'un volant d'inertie 50, de préférence par le biais d'une chaîne cinématique inertielle. Ce dispositif régulateur confère à la plate-forme une plus grande inertie en rotation, dans le but de rendre plus régulier le fonctionnement du balancier, en s'opposant aux à-coups dus aux accélérations du porteur.For all these mechanisms, to better avoid that strong accelerations are transmitted to the regulating member, the sprung
Selon une forme d'exécution de l'invention, les
Grâce à ce dispositif régulateur il est possible de mieux éviter le rebat du balancier en diminuant fortement les accélérations de la plate-forme en augmentant son inertie sans pour autant augmenter sa masse.Thanks to this regulator device it is possible to better avoid the rebate of the balance by greatly reducing the accelerations of the platform by increasing its inertia without increasing its mass.
Dans une variante on peut envisager d'embarquer le volant d'inertie 50 et sa chaîne cinématique inertielle sur la plate-forme 4. Dans ce cas il est nécessaire d'introduire sur la plate-forme 4 un différentiel. Les entrées de ce différentiel sont alors une roue fixe sur la platine 1 et la bague dentée 51 solidaire de la plate-forme 4 et la chaîne cinématique inertielle menant au volant d'inertie 50 constitue la sortie de ce différentiel.In a variant it is possible to embark the
Le dispositif régulateur comprenant une chaîne cinématique inertielle reliant la plate-forme 4 au volant d'inertie 50 permet de réduire les variations d'accélération du mouvement de la plate-forme 4 et empêche le balancier 2 de rebattre.The regulator device comprising an inertial kinematic chain connecting the
On notera que cette chaîne cinématique inertielle entraînant l'organe régulateur par les mouvements relatifs entre la plate-forme et la platine du mouvement d'horlogerie est indépendante des chaînes cinématiques motrices ou correctrices du mécanisme de même que de la chaîne cinématique de remontage automatique si la plate-forme 4 fait office de masse de remontage. Ce dispositif permet de rapporter à la plate-forme 4 l'inertie du volant d'inertie 50 multiplié par le carré du rapport de réduction de la chaîne cinématique inertielle. Cette solution répond bien à la problématique de diminuer les effets d'accélérations de la plate-forme en augmentant l'inertie sans augmenter sa masse.It should be noted that this inertial kinematic chain driving the regulating member by the relative movements between the platform and the turntable of the watch movement is independent of the motor kinematic or corrective mechanisms of the mechanism as well as of the automatic winding kinematic chain if the
D'une manière privilégiée, le rapport de multiplication de la chaîne cinématique inertielle est compris entre 50 et 500, de préférence égal à 100 pour la forme d'exécution précédemment décrite en référence aux
D'une manière générale plus le rapport de multiplication de cette chaîne cinématique inertielle est grand, plus le volant d'inertie peut être petit et de faible inertie.In general, the greater the multiplication ratio of this inertial kinematic chain, the smaller the flywheel can be and its low inertia.
Pour ce dispositif régulateur l'inertie du volant multipliée par le rapport de la chaîne cinématique inertielle au carré est de 10 à 50 fois l'inertie de la plate-forme. De préférence, et pour une exécution comme décrite précédemment, on obtient une valeur égale à 20 fois l'inertie de la plate-forme.For this regulating device the flywheel's inertia multiplied by the ratio of the inertial kinematic chain squared is from 10 to 50 times the inertia of the platform. Preferably, and for execution as described above, a value equal to 20 times the inertia of the platform is obtained.
Dans une variante, le volant 50 et les mobiles intermédiaires de la chaîne cinématique inertielle peuvent être embarqués sur la plate-forme 4 le premier mobile intermédiaire 52 engrenant avec une roue fixée sur la platine ou un pont du mouvement d'horlogerie.In a variant, the
Dans l'exemple illustré la plate-forme 4 est munie d'une masse de remontage automatique 55 et le mécanisme comporte une chaîne cinématique de remontage automatique classique (non illustré) reliant la plate-forme 4 au rochet du barillet du mouvement d'horlogerie.In the example shown, the
De manière pareille (mais non pas illustrée), si le mécanisme de la
Quand le dispositif régulateur de la présente invention est ajouté à un mécanisme à deux axes de rotation A-A et B-B tel que celui de la
Dans une variante on peut coupler la plate-forme 4 et la cage 30 à l'aide d'un différentiel dont la sortie entraîne une seule chaîne cinématique inertielle et un seul volant d'inertie amortissant les accélérations de la plate-forme 4 et de la cage 30.In a variant, the
Selon des variantes, l'organe régulateur peut être autre qu'un volant d'inertie où la régulation se fait simplement par la rotation d'une masse. Par exemple, un organe régulateur tel qu'utilisé dans les répétions minutes (où la régulation se fait par rotation d'une masse et par frottement de cette masse sur un bâti), un mobile régulateur avec ailettes (où la viscosité de l'air est utilisée), ou un mobile régulateur similaire à un échappement horloger peuvent être utilisés.According to variants, the regulating member may be other than a flywheel where the regulation is simply by the rotation of a mass. For example, a regulating member as used in minute repeats (where the regulation is by rotation of a mass and friction of this mass on a frame), a movable regulator with fins (where the viscosity of the air is used), or a regulating mobile similar to a clockwork escapement can be used.
