The travel of pin in oblong aperture defines a good period when the disc is not driven.

Description

Domaine de l'invention.Field of the invention

L'invention concerne un mécanisme d'horlogerie d'affichage et de correction d'état de deux grandeurs temporelles différentes pour une pièce d'horlogerie ou un appareil scientifique comportant un mouvement d'horlogerie comportant ou entraînant au moins un premier mécanisme d'affichage pour l'affichage d'une première grandeur et un deuxième mécanisme d'affichage pour l'affichage d'une deuxième grandeur, ledit mouvement comportant un organe de réglage.The invention relates to a timepiece display and state correction mechanism of two different time values for a timepiece or a scientific apparatus comprising a clockwork movement comprising or involving at least a first display mechanism for displaying a first quantity and a second display mechanism for displaying a second quantity, said movement comprising a setting member.

L'invention concerne encore une pièce d'horlogerie comportant un tel mécanisme d'affichage.The invention also relates to a timepiece comprising such a display mechanism.

L'invention concerne les domaines de l'horlogerie et de l'appareillage scientifique, pour la visualisation de phénomènes périodiques.The invention relates to the fields of watchmaking and scientific apparatus for the visualization of periodic phenomena.

L'invention concerne plus particulièrement le domaine de l'horlogerie, et plus particulièrement des pièces d'horlogerie à complications liées à l'affichage du temps, dites mécanismes de calendrier, telles qu'affichage du quantième, affichage de phase de lune, affichage des marées, affichage jour/nuit, affichage AM/PM, ou similaire.The invention more particularly relates to the field of watchmaking, and more particularly timepieces with complications related to the display of time, called calendar mechanisms, such as date display, moon phase display, display tides, day / night display, AM / PM display, or similar.

Arrière-plan de l'inventionBackground of the invention

L'affichage simultané de plusieurs grandeurs temporelles est une complication prisée en haute horlogerie. II est toutefois difficile d'assurer la sécurité des mécanismes d'affichage lors de la manoeuvre de mécanismes de correction, dont l'action peut interférer avec une manoeuvre d'entraînement d'un de ces mécanismes d'affichage, pendant une phase préparatoire à cet entraînement ou pendant l'entraînement proprement dit. Par exemple, un réglage de quantième ou d'heure à l'approche de minuit est généralement interdit, ou du moins peu recommandé. Le problème prend une acuité particulière quand plusieurs mécanismes d'affichage cohabitent. Certaines sécurités prennent correctement en charge les manoeuvres de correction effectuées dans une position dédiée de la tige, mais le risque subsiste quand l'utilisateur envisage d'effectuer des corrections, en particulier dans le sens contraire au fonctionnement normal, par l'intermédiaire de la minuterie de mise à l'heure.The simultaneous display of several temporal quantities is a complication prized in Haute Horlogerie. However, it is difficult to ensure the security of the display mechanisms during the operation of correction mechanisms, the action of which may interfere with a drive maneuver of one of these display mechanisms, during a preparatory phase to this training or during the actual training. For example, a date or time setting near midnight is generally forbidden, or less not recommended. The problem becomes particularly acute when several display mechanisms coexist. Some safeguards correctly handle the correction maneuvers performed in a dedicated position of the rod, but the risk remains when the user plans to make corrections, especially in the opposite direction to normal operation, through the timer setting.

Résumé de l'inventionSummary of the invention

L'invention se propose d'apporter une solution fiable, simple et économique au problème de la sécurité des mécanismes d'affichage lors de la manoeuvre de mécanismes de correction, dont l'action peut interférer avec une manoeuvre d'entraînement d'un de ces mécanismes d'affichage, pendant une phase préparatoire à cet entraînement ou pendant l'entraînement proprement dit. Et l'invention s'attache en particulier au cas où l'utilisateur peut effectuer, depuis le même organe de réglage, des corrections sur des mécanismes d'affichage de grandeurs différentes.The invention proposes to provide a reliable, simple and economical solution to the problem of the security of the display mechanisms during the operation of correction mechanisms, the action of which may interfere with a training maneuver of one of these display mechanisms, during a preparatory phase for this training or during the actual training.

L'invention concerne plus particulièrement le domaine de l'horlogerie, et plus particulièrement des pièces d'horlogerie 1000 à complications liées à l'affichage du temps, dites mécanismes de calendrier, telles qu'affichage du quantième, affichage de phase de lune, affichage des marées, affichage jour/nuit, affichage AM/PM, ou similaire. Ces complications sont entraînées par un mouvement 2.The invention relates more particularly to the field of watchmaking, and more particularly timepieces 1000 with complications related to the display of time, called calendar mechanisms, such as date display, moon phase display, tide display, day / night display, AM / PM display, or the like. These complications are caused by a movement 2.

L'invention concerne ainsi un mécanisme d'horlogerie d'affichage et de correction 1 d'état d'au moins deux grandeurs temporelles différentes, notamment dans une application particulière de périodes différentes l'une de l'autre, pour une pièce d'horlogerie 1000 ou un appareil scientifique comportant un mouvement d'horlogerie 2. Ce mouvement 2 comporte ou entraîne au moins: un premier mécanisme d'affichage 3 pour l'affichage d'une première grandeur et un deuxième mécanisme d'affichage 4 pour l'affichage d'une deuxième grandeur. Ce mouvement 2 comporte un organe de réglage 50 tel qu'une tige manoeuvrée par une couronne, ou similaire.The invention thus relates to a display clock and state correction mechanism 1 of at least two different time values, in particular in a particular application of different periods of each other, for a particular time period. timepiece 1000 or a scientific apparatus comprising a clockwork movement 2. This movement 2 comprises or entails at least: a first display mechanism 3 for displaying a first quantity and a second display mechanism 4 for displaying a second size.

Selon l'invention, ce premier mécanisme d'affichage 3 et ce deuxième mécanisme d'affichage 4 comportent respectivement un premier mécanisme d'entraînement 30 et un deuxième mécanisme d'entraînement 40, lesquels comportent en commun un mécanisme commun d'entraînement 10 qui est entraîné par le mouvement 2, et qui commande l'entraînement de l'un de ces premier mécanisme d'affichage 3 et deuxième mécanisme d'affichage 4 par saut instantané, et qui commande l'entraînement de l'autre de ces premier mécanisme d'affichage 3 et deuxième mécanisme d'affichage 4 en traînant.According to the invention, this first display mechanism 3 and this second display mechanism 4 respectively comprise a first drive mechanism 30 and a second drive mechanism 40, which comprise in common a common drive mechanism 10 which is driven by the movement 2, and which controls the driving of one of these first display mechanism 3 and second display mechanism 4 by instantaneous jump, and which controls the driving of the other of these first mechanism display 3 and second display mechanism 4 while dragging.

Selon l'invention, en combinaison avec ces mécanismes d'entraînement, le premier mécanisme d'affichage 3 et le deuxième mécanisme d'affichage 4 comportent respectivement un premier mécanisme de correction 300 et un deuxième mécanisme de correction 400, qui comportent en commun un mécanisme commun de correction 100 qui est entraîné par l'organe de réglage 50.

L'invention est décrite ci-après dans un mode de réalisation particulier, non limitatif, où le mécanisme 1 est un mécanisme d'affichage de phase de lune et de quantième 1, pour une pièce d'horlogerie 1000 ou un appareil scientifique comportant un mouvement d'horlogerie 2. Le premier mécanisme d'affichage 3 est un affichage de phase de lune, et où le deuxième mécanisme d'affichage 4 est un mécanisme de quantième.The invention is described below in a particular, nonlimiting embodiment, in which the mechanism 1 is a moon phase and date display mechanism 1, for a timepiece 1000 or a scientific apparatus comprising a 2. The first display mechanism 3 is a moon phase display, and the second display mechanism 4 is a date mechanism.

Le mécanisme d'affichage de phase de lune 3 comporte un mécanisme d'entraînement de phase de lune 30 traînant, et un mécanisme de correction de phase de lune 300.The moon phase display mechanism 3 includes a drag moon phase driving mechanism, and a moon phase correction mechanism 300.

Le mouvement 2 comporte ou entraîne un mécanisme de quantième ou/et un mécanisme de comptage d'une période de référence égale à la durée du jour terrestre ou d'un de ses multiples ou sous-multiples entiers. Ce mouvement 2 comporte une sortie 5 calée sur cette période de référence et entraînant un affichage principal de référence. De préférence, cette sortie 5 est constituée, tel que visible dans une réalisation préférée, mais non limitative, illustrée par les figures, par une roue des heures 5.The movement 2 comprises or involves a date mechanism or / and a counting mechanism of a reference period equal to the duration of the terrestrial day or one of its integer multiples or submultiples. This movement 2 has an output 5 set on this reference period and resulting in a main display reference. Preferably, this output 5 is constituted, as visible in a preferred embodiment, but not limited to, illustrated by the figures, by a wheel hours 5.

Le mécanisme d'entraînement de phase de lune 30 et le mécanisme d'entraînement de quantième 40 utilisent, en grande partie, un mécanisme commun d'entraînement 10. Celui-ci comporte, dans la réalisation particulière illustrée par les figures, une roue intermédiaire de quantième 6 qui engrène, par un plateau 61 qu'elle comporte, avec la roue des heures 5. Ce plateau 61 est solidaire d'un pignon 62, lequel engrène avec une planche de roue d'entraînement 71 que comporte un mobile entraîneur 7 mobile en pivotement autour d'un axe 70.The moon phase drive mechanism 30 and the date drive mechanism 40 use, for the most part, a common drive mechanism 10. This has, in the particular embodiment illustrated by the figures, an intermediate wheel date 6 which meshes, with a plate 61 that it comprises, with the hour wheel 5. This plate 61 is integral with a pinion 62, which meshes with a drive wheel board 71 that includes a driving mobile 7 mobile pivoting about an axis 70.

Cette roue d'entraînement 71, pour l'entraînement du quantième et des jours, comporte une ouverture oblongue 72, selon un secteur centré sur l'axe 70, dans laquelle circule un pion 73. Ce pion 73 est solidaire en pivotement d'un empilage, coaxial à la roue d'entraînement 71 sur l'axe 70, de trois étages tous solidaires en pivotement:

  • une came 74 qui coopère avec une bascule de déclenchement 9, laquelle est rappelée vers cette came 74 par un ressort de déclenchement 91 ;
  • un disque d'entraînement de phase de lune 75 comportant un doigt radial 76, lequel, selon sa position angulaire, peut interférer pour son entraînement avec la trajectoire d'une étoile 36 que comporte un renvoi intermédiaire 33, utilisé pour le mécanisme d'entraînement de phase de lune 30. Cette étoile 36 comporte un pignon 37 entraînant une roue 34, qui est notamment une roue à 59 dents, qui est maintenue en position par un sautoir 35 ;
  • un disque d'entraînement de quantième 77, utilisé pour le mécanisme d'entraînement de quantième 40, et qui comporte un doigt entraîneur de quantième 78, dont la trajectoire, selon la position angulaire du disque 77, interfère ou non avec une denture interne 81 d'un indicateur de quantième 8 mobile en pivotement et maintenu par un sautoir de quantième 82, pour faire pivoter une fois par jour, à minuit, cet indicateur de quantième 8 d'un seul pas.
This drive wheel 71, for the training of the date and days, has an oblong opening 72, in a sector centered on the axis 70, in which a pin 73 circulates. This pin 73 is pivotally integral with a stacking, coaxial with the drive wheel 71 on the axis 70, of three stages all integral in pivoting:
  • a cam 74 which cooperates with a trigger rocker 9, which is biased towards this cam 74 by a release spring 91;
  • a moon phase drive disc 75 having a radial finger 76, which, depending on its angular position, may interfere with its training with the trajectory of a star 36 that includes an intermediate gear 33 used for the drive mechanism This star 36 comprises a pinion 37 driving a wheel 34, which is in particular a 59 toothed wheel, which is held in position by a jumper 35;
  • a date drive disk 77, used for the date drive mechanism 40, and which includes a date driver finger 78, whose path, depending on the angular position of the disk 77, interferes or not with an internal toothing 81 a date indicator 8 movable pivoting and maintained by a date jumper 82, to rotate once a day at midnight, this date indicator 8 in a single step.

La course du pion 73 dans l'ouverture oblongue 72 permet de définir une période de rattrapage. Pendant cette période de rattrapage, le disque 75 pour l'entraînement de la phase de lune n'est pas entraîné.The stroke of the pin 73 in the oblong opening 72 makes it possible to define a catch-up period. During this catch-up period, the disc 75 for training the moon phase is not driven.

De la même façon, l'ouverture oblongue 72 permet de réaliser l'armage ou le désarmage de l'entraînement de quantième, puisque le disque d'entraînement de quantième 77 n'est pas entraîné non plus pendant la période de rattrapage.In the same way, the oblong opening 72 makes it possible to perform the arming or disarming of the date drive, since the date drive disk 77 is not driven either during the catch-up period.

La durée de cette période de rattrapage est déterminée par le développement de l'ouverture oblongue 72. De façon avantageuse elle est choisie voisine de sept heures et demi, ce qui correspond à un angle au centre de 110° pour l'ouverture 72, cet angle de 110° se décomposant en un premier angle d'environ 90° nécessaire pour l'entraînement, auquel s'ajoute un deuxième angle de sécurité, ici choisi, de façon non limitative, à 20°. Ces angles dépendent naturellement de la construction géométrique du calibre : par exemple, tel que visible sur les figures, l'angle de 90° correspond dans ce cas particulier à l'angle au centre α pendant lequel il y a interférence entre la trajectoire du doigt entraîneur 74 avec celle de la denture interne 81.The duration of this catch-up period is determined by the development of the oblong opening 72. Advantageously, it is chosen to be close to seven and a half hours, which corresponds to a central angle of 110 ° for the opening 72. angle of 110 ° decomposing at a first angle of about 90 ° necessary for the drive, to which is added a second safety angle, here selected, but not limited to 20 °. These angles naturally depend on the geometric construction of the caliber: for example, as seen in the figures, the angle of 90 ° corresponds in this particular case to the angle at the center α during which there is interference between the trajectory of the finger coach 74 with that of the internal toothing 81.

La came 74 comporte sur son pourtour différentes portions qui se rejoignent deux à deux en formant des creux ou des becs.The cam 74 has on its periphery different portions that meet two by two forming hollows or beaks.

Sous l'action du ressort de déclenchement 91, la bascule de déclenchement 9 appuie sur la came 74, et, en dehors de certaines positions de repos de la came 74, tend à la faire pivoter, et donc à entraîner en rotation le pion 73, le disque d'entraînement de phase de lune 75 et le disque d'entraînement de quantième 77 qui sont asservis ensemble en rotation.Under the action of the triggering spring 91, the tripping lever 9 presses the cam 74, and, apart from certain rest positions of the cam 74, tends to rotate it, and thus to rotate the pin 73 , the moon phase drive disk 75 and the date drive disk 77 which are slaved together in rotation.

De façon préférée, le mobile entraîneur 7 est réalisé selon les caractéristiques du brevet EP 2 015 146 au nom de OMEGA SA, en particulier concernant le profil de la came 74, et le fonctionnement, en fonction de la position du pion 73 dans l'ouverture oblongue 72. Ainsi, le profil de cette came 74 est notamment dessiné de façon à dégager le doigt entraîneur 78 de la denture de quantième 81 après l'entraînement de cette denture 81.Preferably, the driving mobile 7 is made according to the characteristics of the patent EP 2 015 146 in the name of OMEGA SA, in particular concerning the profile of the cam 74, and the operation, as a function of the position of the pin 73 in the oblong opening 72. Thus, the profile of this cam 74 is in particular designed so as to clear the driving finger 78 of the calendar tooth 81 after the driving of this toothing 81.

Le mécanisme commun d'entraînement 10 selon l'invention combine ainsi un mobile entraîneur selon le brevet EP 2 015 146 avec le disque d'entraînement de phase de lune 75. Seul le disque d'entraînement de quantième 77, avec son doigt entraîneur de quantième 78, subit les variations brusques causées par les rampes de forte inclinaison de la came 74, ce qui se traduit par une manoeuvre instantanée du quantième, lorsque, à minuit, un bec de la bascule de déclenchement 9 franchit une pointe de la came 74.The common drive mechanism 10 according to the invention thus combines a driving carrier according to the patent EP 2 015 146 with the moon phase drive disk 75. Only the date drive disk 77, with its date driver finger 78, undergoes the sudden variations caused by the steep ramps of the cam 74, which results in by an instant maneuver of the date, when, at midnight, a tip of the tripping lever 9 crosses a tip of the cam 74.

Tandis que le disque d'entraînement de phase de lune 75 ne subit que les mouvements lents du pion 73, et est donc traîné par le mouvement de la roue des heures 5, sauf pendant les périodes de rattrapage où il reste à l'arrêt.While the moon phase drive disk 75 undergoes only the slow movements of the pin 73, and is therefore dragged by the movement of the hour wheel 5, except during the periods of catch-up where it remains at a standstill.

L'armement du mécanisme de phase de lune, aussi bien que de quantième, est ainsi effectué de façon progressive pendant toute la journée, de façon à ne pas nécessiter une forte consommation d'énergie instantané. Avantageusement, l'heure de changement d'affichage de phase de lune est choisie à un moment où les autres mécanismes comme le quantième ne bougent pas encore, par exemple vers 22 heures. La position du pion 73 sur le disque d'entraînement de phase de lune 75 détermine ce déphasage.The arming of the moon phase mechanism, as well as calendar, is thus carried out gradually throughout the day, so as not to require a high instantaneous energy consumption. Advantageously, the time of change of moon phase display is chosen at a time when the other mechanisms such as the date do not move yet, for example around 22 hours. The position of the pin 73 on the moon phase drive disk 75 determines this phase shift.

Le mécanisme d'entraînement est avantageusement débrayable après le saut à minuit de façon à empêcher toute collision.The drive mechanism is advantageously disengageable after jumping at midnight so as to prevent any collision.

De façon préférée, les mécanismes d'entraînement de phase de lune 30 et du quantième 40 sont décalés de plusieurs heures, notamment 12 heures, de façon à étaler la consommation d'énergie dans la journée, et éviter toute interférence des mécanismes vers minuit. En effet, l'indication de phase de lune étant moins précise que les autres indications horaires ou de quantième, peut être sans problème décalée de quelques heures.Preferably, the moon phase drive mechanisms 30 and 40 are shifted by several hours, including 12 hours, so as to spread energy consumption in the day, and avoid interference mechanisms at midnight. Indeed, the moon phase indication being less precise than the other time or date indications, can be problematically offset by a few hours.

La roue d'entraînement 71 effectue un tour en 24 heures. La phase de lune est attelée, entraînée en traînant, et change au moment ainsi choisi lors de la construction.The drive wheel 71 rotates in 24 hours. The moon phase is hitched, dragged, and changes at the time chosen during construction.

Le saut de quantième est quant à lui effectué à minuit en instantané.The date jump is performed at midnight instantaneously.

En somme, l'emploi d'un mécanisme commun d'entraînement 10 selon l'invention permet de disposer facilement, avec une même source de temps, de deux affichages différents, de deux grandeurs différentes, selon deux modes de fonctionnement différents, et de façon à étaler la consommation d'énergie dans la journée. Le nombre de composants du mécanisme est réduit. II est facile d'améliorer un mécanisme déjà réalisé selon le brevet EP 2 015 146 , en le combinant avec un disque d'entraînement 75 selon l'invention, avec un encombrement réduit et de façon très économique.In sum, the use of a common drive mechanism 10 according to the invention makes it easy to have, with one and the same time source, two different displays, of two different magnitudes, according to two different modes of operation, and of way to spread energy consumption in the day. The number of components of the mechanism is reduced. It is easy to improve a mechanism already made according to the patent EP 2 015 146 , combining it with a drive disk 75 according to the invention, with a small footprint and very economically.

Outre l'emploi d'un mécanisme commun d'entraînement 10, l'invention est particulière en ce qu'elle incorpore aussi un mécanisme commun de correction 100.In addition to the use of a common drive mechanism 10, the invention is particular in that it also incorporates a common correction mechanism 100.

Le mouvement 2 comporte classiquement une tige 50 pour le remontage et le réglage de mise à l'heure et du quantième. Cette tige 50 porte un pignon coulant 51 qui, en première position de traction T2 de la tige 50, engrène avec une roue de renvoi 55 pivotante autour d'un axe 56.The movement 2 conventionally comprises a rod 50 for reassembly and setting time setting and date. This rod 50 carries a sliding pinion 51 which, in the first pulling position T2 of the rod 50, meshes with a turning wheel 55 pivoting about an axis 56.

De façon avantageuse, et similaire aux mécanismes d'entraînement, le mécanisme de correction de phase de lune 300, et le mécanisme de correction de quantième 400 utilisent eux aussi, en grande partie, un mécanisme commun de correction 100, qui comporte une même bascule de correction 15 utilisable à la fois pour la correction du quantième, lors d'une manoeuvre en sens horaire de la tige 50, et pour la correction de phase de lune lors d'une manoeuvre en sens anti-horaire de la tige 50.Advantageously, and similar to the drive mechanisms, the moon phase correction mechanism 300, and the date correction mechanism 400 also use, for the most part, a common correction mechanism 100, which includes the same flip-flop correction device 15 that can be used both for the correction of the date, during a clockwise maneuvering of the rod 50, and for the moon phase correction during a counter-clockwise maneuvering of the rod 50.

Cette bascule de correction montée 15 comporte une bascule baladeuse 44 montée pivotante sur l'axe 56. De façon préférée, le présent mécanisme 100, et en particulier sa bascule de correction 15, incorpore les caractéristiques du dispositif de déclenchement instantané et de correction rapide du brevet EP 1 785 783 du même déposant.This mounted correction flip-flop 15 comprises a flip-flop 44 pivotally mounted on the axis 56. Preferably, the present mechanism 100, and in particular its correction flip-flop 15, incorporates the characteristics of the instantaneous trigger device and the rapid correction device. patent EP 1 785 783 the same depositor.

Cette bascule baladeuse 44 porte, d'un premier côté du pivot 56, un bras muni d'une découpe 49 en forme de vé, et, de l'autre côté du pivot 56, un pivot 45 porteur coaxialement d'une étoile correctrice 46 d'une part, et d'autre part d'une roue de bascule 52, laquelle engrène avec la roue de renvoi 55 entraînée par la tige de remontoir 50.This flip-flop 44 carries, on a first side of the pivot 56, an arm provided with a cut-out 49 in the form of a vee, and on the other side of the pivot 56, a pivot 45 carrying a corrugation star 46 coaxially. on the one hand, and on the other hand a rocker wheel 52, which meshes with the return wheel 55 driven by the winding stem 50.

L'étoile correctrice 46 porte au moins un, et de préférence plusieurs, notamment trois, doigts radiaux 48 dont la trajectoire, selon la position angulaire de la bascule baladeuse 44, interfère ou non avec la denture interne 81 d'un indicateur de quantième 8, ou interfère ou non avec la trajectoire d'une bascule de correction de phase de lune 38. Cette bascule 38 est rappelée en pivotement vers l'axe 45 de l'étoile correctrice 46 par un ressort de rappel 39. Cette étoile correctrice 46 porte avantageusement un canal de lubrification 47.The corrective star 46 carries at least one, and preferably several, in particular three, radial fingers 48 whose trajectory, according to the angular position of the wobble lever 44, interferes or not with the internal toothing 81 of a date indicator 8 , or interferes or not with the trajectory of a moon phase correction flip-flop 38. This flip-flop 38 is pivotally biased towards the axis 45 of the corrective star 46 by a return spring 39. This corrective star 46 carries advantageously a lubrication channel 47.

Selon l'invention, en l'absence d'effort résistant, un ressort de friction 54 solidarise en pivotement la roue de bascule 52 et l'étoile correctrice 46. Ainsi, si, du côté du mécanisme commun d'entraînement 10, le doigt entraîneur de quantième 78 est déjà en prise avec la denture 81 de l'indicateur de quantième 8, on risque une collision si on déclenche alors une correction de quantième, le glissement de cette friction 54 permet alors de protéger les deux mécanismes d'entraînement 40 et de correction 400 de quantième. II en est de même avec la protection des mécanismes d'entraînement 30 et de correction 300 de phase de lune.According to the invention, in the absence of a resistant force, a friction spring 54 pivotally secures the rocker wheel 52 and the correction star 46. Thus, if, on the side of the common drive mechanism 10, the finger date trainer 78 is already engaged with the toothing 81 of the date indicator 8, there is a risk of collision if a date correction is then triggered, the sliding of this friction 54 then makes it possible to protect the two drive mechanisms 40 and 400 date correction. It is the same with the protection of the drive mechanisms 30 and correction 300 of moon phase.

A cet effet, le tarage de la friction 54 est effectué de façon à ce que le couple qu'elle applique pour solidariser la roue de bascule 52 et l'étoile correctrice 46, rapporté à un doigt 48 de cette dernière en appui sur la denture de quantième 81, soit inférieur au plus faible des couples, soit transmis par le mouvement 2 au doigt entraîneur 78 du mécanisme d'entraînement de quantième 40, soit appliqué par le ressort de déclenchement 91 sur la came 74 par l'intermédiaire de la bascule de déclenchement 9.For this purpose, the friction setting 54 is performed so that the torque that it applies to secure the rocker wheel 52 and the correction star 46, referred to a finger 48 of the latter bearing on the toothing of date 81, which is less than the smallest of the torques, is transmitted by the movement 2 to the driving finger 78 of the date drive mechanism 40, or is applied by the trigger spring 91 to the cam 74 via the rocker trigger 9.

La position de repos de cette bascule baladeuse 44 est une position neutre qui n'interfère, ni avec le mécanisme de quantième, ni avec le mécanisme de phase de lune.The rest position of this flip-flop 44 is a neutral position which interferes neither with the date mechanism nor with the moon phase mechanism.

De façon classique, une bascule de commande du mécanisme de mise à l'heure du mouvement, non représentée sur les figures, peut occuper trois positions distinctes selon les positions relatives de la tige 50 et d'une tirette non représentée sur les figures. Cette bascule de commande porte le rouage de mise à l'heure, dont un axe 19 d'une des roues circule dans une rainure en vé 18 que comporte une petite bascule 17, laquelle pivote sur un axe 16 fixe. Cette petite bascule 17 porte un tenon 41, qui se loge dans une découpe en vé 49, que comporte la bascule baladeuse 44, pour maintenir celle-ci en place.In a conventional manner, a control lever of the mechanism for setting the time of movement, not shown in the figures, can occupy three distinct positions according to the relative positions of the rod 50 and a pull tab not shown in the figures. This control lever carries the time setting wheel, an axis 19 of one of the wheels circulates in a V-shaped groove 18 includes a small latch 17, which pivots on a fixed axis 16. This small rocker 17 carries a pin 41, which is housed in a V-cut 49, that includes the wand-arm 44, to keep it in place.

En position neutre, l'axe 19 est dans l'angle du vé de la rainure 18, et le tenon 41 est dans le creux au sommet du vé de la découpe 49.In the neutral position, the axis 19 is in the angle of the vee of the groove 18, and the pin 41 is in the hollow at the top of the vee of the cutout 49.

Lorsque la tige 50 est en position T2 de correction de phase de lune ou du quantième, la bascule de commande de mise à l'heure pivote, et de ce fait l'axe 19 écarte la petite bascule 17 ainsi que son tenon 41 de la bascule baladeuse 44. L'axe 19 est alors en contact avec l'extrémité de la rainure 18 la plus proche de l'indicateur de quantième 8, et la position du tenon 41 dépend du sens de rotation imprimé à la tige 50.When the rod 50 is in position T2 of moon phase correction or the date, the time control flip-flop pivots, and thus the axis 19 spreads the small flip-flop 17 and its tenon 41 of the The axis 19 is then in contact with the end of the groove 18 closest to the date indicator 8, and the position of the stud 41 depends on the direction of rotation printed on the rod 50.

Quand la tige 50 pivote en sens horaire pour effectuer une correction de quantième, le tenon 41 est alors en contact avec l'extrémité de la découpe 49 la plus proche de l'indicateur de quantième, La roue de renvoi 55 pivote alors dans le sens anti-horaire, et la roue de bascule 52 pivote dans le sens horaire, ainsi que l'étoile correctrice 46, tel que visible sur la figure 3. Un doigt 48 de l'étoile correctrice peut alors prendre appui sur une dent de la denture 81 de l'indicateur de quantième 8, pour faire avancer celui-ci d'un pas.When the rod 50 pivots clockwise to perform a date correction, the pin 41 is then in contact with the end of the cutout 49 closest to the date indicator, the return wheel 55 then pivots in the direction counterclockwise, and the rocker wheel 52 rotates clockwise, as well as the corrective star 46, as visible on the figure 3 . A finger 48 of the corrective star can then rest on a tooth of the toothing 81 of the date indicator 8, to advance it one step.

Quand la tige 50 pivote en sens anti-horaire pour effectuer une correction de phase de lune, le tenon 41 est en contact avec l'extrémité de la découpe 49 la plus opposée à l'indicateur de quantième 8, la roue de renvoi 55 pivote alors dans le sens horaire, et la roue de bascule 52 pivote dans le sens anti-horaire, ainsi que l'étoile correctrice 46, tel que visible sur la figure 4, autour de son axe de pivotement 45.When the rod 50 pivots counterclockwise to effect a moon phase correction, the pin 41 is in contact with the end of the cutout 49 the most opposite to the date indicator 8, the return wheel 55 rotates then clockwise, and the rocker wheel 52 rotates counter-clockwise, as well as the corrective star 46, as visible on the figure 4 around its pivot axis 45.

Selon la position angulaire de la bascule baladeuse 44, la trajectoire d'un doigt radial 48 de l'étoile correctrice 46 interfère ou non avec la trajectoire d'une bascule de correction de phase de lune 38, laquelle est rappelée en pivotement vers l'axe 45 de l'étoile correctrice 46.According to the angular position of the flip-flop 44, the trajectory of a radial finger 48 of the correction star 46 interferes or not with the trajectory of a moon phase correction flip-flop 38, which is pivotally biased towards the axis 45 of the corrective star 46.

Dans son pivotement, un doigt 48 de l'étoile correctrice 46 vient en appui sur une face ou une came 38A que comporte la bascule de correction de phase de lune 38, pour faire pivoter celle-ci en sens anti-horaire, à l'encontre d'un ressort de rappel 39. A chaque fois qu'un doigt 48 pousse la bascule de correction de phase de lune 38, celle-ci entraîne, par un bec 38B qu'elle comporte, une dent d'une étoile de lune 34, couramment à 59 dents, laquelle est maintenue par un sautoir 35. II est ainsi possible d'ajuster facilement la phase de lune à sa représentation exacte, par une manipulation rapide. Durant la totalité de cette manoeuvre, à l'autre extrémité de la bascule baladeuse 44, la petite bascule 17, montée pivotante autour d'un axe 16, est en appui, par son tenon 41, sur une zone de la découpe 49 qui est la plus éloignée de la denture 81 de l'indicateur de quantième 8.In its pivoting, a finger 48 of the corrective star 46 comes to bear on a face or a cam 38A that includes the moon phase correction latch 38, to rotate it in a counter-clockwise direction, to the against a return spring 39. Whenever a finger 48 pushes the moon phase correction lever 38, it causes, by a spout 38B which it comprises, a tooth of a moon star 34, currently 59 teeth, which is maintained by a jumper 35. It is thus possible to easily adjust the moon phase to its exact representation, by fast handling. During the whole of this maneuver, at the other end of the flip-flop 44, the small flip-flop 17, pivotally mounted about an axis 16, is supported, by its tenon 41, on an area of the cutout 49 which is the farthest from the toothing 81 of the date indicator 8.

Si, du côté du mécanisme d'entraînement de phase de lune 30, le doigt radial 76 est déjà en prise avec la denture de l'étoile 36, laquelle est en liaison directe avec la roue de phase de lune 34, on risque une collision si on déclenche alors une correction de phase de lune, le glissement de la friction 54 permet alors de protéger les deux mécanismes d'entraînement 30 et de correction 300 de phase de lune.If, on the side of the moon phase drive mechanism 30, the radial finger 76 is already engaged with the toothing of the star 36, which is in direct connection with the moon phase wheel 34, there is a risk of a collision if a moon phase correction is then triggered, the sliding of the friction 54 then makes it possible to protect the two moon phase correction and drive mechanisms 300.

A cet effet, le tarage de la friction 54 est effectué de façon à ce que le couple qu'elle applique pour solidariser la roue de bascule 52 et l'étoile correctrice 46, rapporté au doigt 38B de bascule 38 sur laquelle appuie un doigt 48 de l'étoile correctrice 46, soit inférieur au plus faible des couples, soit transmis par le mouvement 2 au doigt entraîneur 76 du mécanisme d'entraînement de phase de lune 30, soit appliqué par le ressort de déclenchement 91 sur la came 74 par l'intermédiaire de la bascule de déclenchement 9.For this purpose, the setting of the friction 54 is performed so that the torque that it applies to secure the rocker wheel 52 and the corrective star 46, reported to the finger 38B flip-flop 38 on which presses a finger 48 the correction star 46, which is less than the smallest of the torques, is transmitted by the movement 2 to the driving finger 76 of the moon phase drive mechanism 30, or is applied by the trigger spring 91 to the cam 74 by the intermediate trigger flip-flop 9.

Comme chaque sens de pivotement de la tige 50 correspond à la correction d'un organe différent, la correction de chacun d'eux ne peut se faire que dans un seul sens, ce qui améliore la sûreté de fonctionnement. Les seules corrections arrière sont alors celles qui sont faites par action sur la minuterie, en position de traction T3 de la tige 50.As each direction of pivoting of the rod 50 corresponds to the correction of a different member, the correction of each of them can be done only in one direction, which improves the operating reliability. The only ones rear corrections are then those made by action on the timer, T3 traction position of the rod 50.

Dans la position de mise à l'heure T3 de la tige 50, l'axe 19 est en contact avec l'extrémité de la rainure 18 la plus éloignée de l'indicateur de quantième, et le tenon 41 est dans le creux au sommet du vé de la découpe 49.In the time setting position T3 of the rod 50, the axis 19 is in contact with the end of the groove 18 furthest from the date indicator, and the tenon 41 is in the hollow at the top of the cut 51.

La combinaison de l'emploi d'un mécanisme selon le brevet EP 2 015 146 , et de la friction 54 selon la présente invention permet de prévenir les risques de toute manipulation inopportune, notamment en sens inverse du sens de réglage normal, par une action de réglage de la minuterie quand un mobile d'entraînement ou de correction est déjà engagé avec une denture, soit de quantième, soit de phase de lune.The combination of the use of a mechanism according to the patent EP 2 015 146 and friction 54 according to the present invention makes it possible to prevent the risks of any untimely manipulation, in particular in the opposite direction of the normal adjustment direction, by a setting action of the timer when a driving or correction wheel is already engaged. with a toothing, either of date or of moon phase.

Le mécanisme selon l'invention permet d'effectuer les corrections de phase de lune et de quantième, de façon tout à fait indépendante et sécurisée.The mechanism according to the invention makes it possible to perform the moon and date phase corrections, in a completely independent and secure manner.

L'invention concerne encore une pièce d'horlogerie 1000 comportant un tel mécanisme d'affichage 1 et un mouvement d'horlogerie 2, ce mécanisme 1 étant entraîné par ce mouvement 2.The invention also relates to a timepiece 1000 comprising such a display mechanism 1 and a clockwork movement 2, this mechanism 1 being driven by this movement 2.
