Definitions

  • the invention relates to a timepiece movement provided with a rotary three-dimensional element, for example a sphere.
  • the invention also relates to a timepiece, in particular a wristwatch, comprising such a movement.
  • Swiss patent no. CH 697 674 relates to a watch comprising a device for displaying the phases of the moon comprising a two-color sphere secured to an axis provided with an angle gear intended to drive the sphere in rotation.
  • Swiss patent application no. CH 699 073 relates to a watch fitted with a three-dimensional astronomical calendar device driven in rotation by a helical transmission element.
  • the main purpose of the invention is to propose a timepiece movement provided with a three-dimensional element, in particular a three-dimensional element having an axis of revolution, and first means for rotating this three-dimensional element around an axis of rotation, this clockwork movement having the particularity that the three-dimensional element is hollow and includes a part external, on which the first means act, and an internal part, second means being provided for driving in rotation at least a fraction of this internal part around said axis of rotation, independently of the external part.
  • the axis of rotation of the three-dimensional element is inclined relative to the plane of movement of the timepiece.
  • the three-dimensional element has the shape of a sphere.
  • a movement according to the invention is defined by claim 1. Different embodiments of the movement are defined by claims 2 to 12.
  • a timepiece according to the invention is defined by claim 13.
  • the three-dimensional element can have a shape in any space, as long as it has an axis of rotation. It can therefore be spherical, cylindrical, ellipsoidal, ovoid, prismatic, etc.
  • the three-dimensional element is spherical in shape.
  • the three-dimensional element is hollow, so that it contains a complication such as a vortex.
  • the three-dimensional element is hollow but it is never completely empty because, even in the absence of any internal mechanism, it still contains a shaft connecting one axial end to the other.
  • the rotary three-dimensional element being hollow, it therefore comprises an external part and an internal part, driven respectively by first means or driving elements and by second means or driving elements.
  • these first and second means are independent of all the other mechanisms of the timepiece, such as the mechanisms for displaying the time, winding, etc., and they comprise respective cogs connecting them separately to the barrel of the timepiece.
  • the first and second independent drive means are linked to each other only by the barrel.
  • the axis of rotation of the three-dimensional element is inclined relative to the plane of movement of this timepiece, along an axis preferably greater than 0 and less than 90 degrees and included especially between 60 and 70 degrees.
  • the figure 1 is an overview of a movement according to the invention on which there is a sphere 1 driven in rotation by a toothed wheel 2 called “driving wheel of the globe” because it performs one revolution in 24 hours.
  • This sphere 1 projects from the plane of the dial.
  • the toothed wheel 2 is part of a first kinematic chain (or first drive means 2, 4-10) which is visible in detail on the figures 2 and 3 .
  • the sphere 1 is hollow, it comprises an external part and an internal part which comprises a vortex mechanism.
  • the barrel 3 of the timepiece drives an intermediate pinion 4 which meshes with the wheel 5 of an intermediate mobile whose pinion 6 in turn meshes with a wheel 7 integral with a coaxial friction wheel 8 whose role will be explained below.
  • the friction wheel 8 meshes itself with the lower wheel 9 of a crown comprising an integral wheel 10 having a singular toothing meshing with the wheel 2 which is itself integral with the external part of the sphere 1.
  • the axis 60 of rotation of the sphere 1 is inclined relative to the plane of movement of the timepiece.
  • the outer part of the sphere 1 is rotated by its lower axial end.
  • the internal part, in particular the swirl mechanism, is driven by a second kinematic chain (or second drive means 12-22) which is completely independent of the first kinematic chain and which can be seen in detail on the figure 4 .
  • the barrel 3 and a second barrel 11 mesh in parallel with the pinion 12 of a so-called “xaine” mobile, the mobile being able to rotate a priori at any speed.
  • the wheel 13 of this mobile meshes with the pinion 14 of a mobile called “center” which performs one revolution per hour clockwise.
  • the wheel 15 of this mobile meshes with the pinion 16 of a so-called “medium” mobile, of which the wheel 17 meshes with the pinion 18 of a second “medium” mobile whose wheel 19 meshes with the pinion 20 of a so-called “second” mobile whose wheel 21 known as “whirl cage return” meshes with a wheel 22 called “whirl cage wheel” because it is attached to the tourbillon mechanism, which includes a cage that can be seen on the figure 5 .
  • This cage is formed by an upper flywheel 23 connected by columns or pillars of the cage 24 to a lower flywheel 25.
  • the lower part 41 of the support 27 is cylindrical and fixed to a first connecting piece 35 mounted or fixed on a frame of the movement.
  • the cylindrical lower part 41 of the support 27 is partially surrounded by a bearing 28 on which the wheel 2 is fixed.
  • the wheel 2 is also fixed to a base 29 itself also fixed on the bearing 28 and d '' from which arches 30 form the external part of the sphere 1 by joining the vertex 31 of the latter.
  • This vertex 31 is fixed on another bearing 34 coaxial with the shaft 33 connecting the upper flywheel 23 of the tourbillon cage to the wheel 22 of tourbillon cage.
  • the fixed support 27 and the shaft 33 are therefore separated by the tourbillon cage and their longitudinal axes are aligned.
  • the toothing of the tourbillon cage return wheel 21 and / or that of the tourbillon cage wheel 22 can (can) be more or less frustoconical, depending on the inclination of the sphere 1, so better be able to be in touch with each other.
  • the rotation of the wheel 10 drives those of the wheel 2 and of the external part (formed by the lower bearing 28, the base 29, the arches 30, the apex 31 and the upper bearing 32) of the sphere 1 .
  • the toothing of the wheel 10 and / or that of the wheel 2 can (can) also be provided (s) frustoconical (s) for better cooperation of one with the other.
  • the mechanism for driving the external part in rotation (in the case shown, parts 28 to 32) of the three-dimensional element and the mechanism for driving the rotation of at least a fraction (in the case shown, the parts 23-25,33,39, i.e. the vortex) of the three-dimensional element are not linked, but they have the same source of energy, namely, barrels 3 and 11 .
  • the external part of the three-dimensional element and its internal part, or a fraction thereof, can rotate in the same direction or in opposite directions and at the same speed or at opposite speeds. It suffices to adapt the first means (first kinematic chain) and / or the second means (second kinematic chain).
  • the external part can rotate at the rate of one revolution per 24 hours and the internal part (the tourbillon) at the rate of 1 revolution per 10 minutes.
  • the internal and external parts can in particular rotate in the same direction.
  • sphere 1 may not be perforated. This is for example the case when it consists of a three-dimensional element such as a globe on which the 24 time zones have been represented.
  • the first means (first kinematic chain) are adapted so that the globe makes a complete revolution in 24 hours.
  • FIG. 3 An example of such a mechanism is visible on the figure 3 . It comprises a rod 36 in position at 4 o'clock on which is mounted a solidly toothed pinion 37, similar to a sliding pinion, which meshes with a wheel 38 in engagement with wheel 9 of the crown.
  • the globe When the rod 36 is rotated by a user, the globe also rotates, thanks to the wheels 9, 10 and 2. Because the wheel 8 is a wheel frictionally mounted on the shaft which supports it, during rotation of the rod 36, the other wheel 7 mounted on the same shaft is not rotated and the rest of the first kinematic chain as well as the barrels 3 and 11 are not affected.
  • FIG 8 is shown partially a second embodiment of the invention which differs from the first in that the first and second means are slightly different.
  • the internal part of the three-dimensional element here also a vortex, is provided to rotate for example at a speed of 1 revolution every 10 minutes, or 6 revolutions / hour.
  • the wheel 44 is mounted on the cage 23, 24, 25.
  • the wheel 44 is mounted on the cage via a shaft 51 mounted on the cage.
  • the wheel 44 is driven onto the pinion 45.
  • a ring 52 driven onto the shaft 51 can make it possible to keep the pinion 45 in position and therefore to keep the wheel 44 in position.
  • One end 54 of the shaft can optionally be pivoted in the support 27.
  • the support 27 is in turn mounted on a frame of the movement.
  • One of the advantages of the tourbillon of this second embodiment is that if one wishes to modify the speed of rotation of the tourbillon without modifying the speed of rotation of the external part, it suffices to change the solar mobile, the satellite mobile and possibly the exhaust pinion to obtain a different gear ratio and therefore a different speed of rotation of the tourbillon. We must also change different wheels of the gear train upstream of the above elements.
  • the three-dimensional element in particular the external part of the three-dimensional element, has first and second dimensions that are substantially equal in first and second directions perpendicular to each other and a dimension that is greater than half of the first and / or the second dimension in a third direction perpendicular to the first and second directions. More preferably, the three-dimensional element, in particular the external part of the three-dimensional element, has first, second and third dimensions that are substantially equal in first, second and third directions perpendicular to each other.
  • the three-dimensional element, in particular the external part of the three-dimensional element has substantially the shape of a sphere or a cube.
  • a watch hand and / or a flat watch dial do not constitute three-dimensional elements within the meaning of the present invention.
  • the three-dimensional element in particular the external part of the three-dimensional element, is preferably pivoted around a fixed axis in direction and / or in position relative to the frame.
  • the internal part of the three-dimensional element is preferably pivoted about a fixed axis in the direction and / or in position relative to the frame.
  • the invention also relates, of course, to a timepiece, in particular a watch, in particular a wristwatch, comprising a movement as described above.
