Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for setting in a protected atmosphere and in particular to a method of evacuating a watch case incorporating the movement of the watch.
- Protected atmosphere in the present application is understood to mean a pressure which is generally low with respect to atmospheric pressure, with or without an added gas which is kept inside an optimized box in order to maintain this low pressure.
- documents FR1546744, FR2054540 and GB1272183 are known to be a reduced pressure watch whose quality and reliability over time is improved, in particular because the risks of oxidation of movement and oils are eliminated and thanks to the fact that aging of the lubricants and wear due to oxidation and corrosion are reduced.
- documents FR2054540 by reducing the pressure inside a watch case, the energy loss due to the friction of the air tends towards zero and therefore the quality factor of the oscillator of the watch movement increases considerably.
- 3,750,387 discloses several variants for putting a watch case under vacuum, for example by pumping the air contained in the watch case through a valve provided in the watch case or by performing the casing of the movement in the case.
- the box shows and screwing the bottom in a controlled atmosphere setting device.
- the object of the present invention is to obviate the disadvantages mentioned above by proposing a method of putting under protected atmosphere and in particular of reducing the pressure inside a watch case. This method does not require any particular arrangement in the watch case and can therefore be applied to all waterproof watch cases.
- the method of the present invention also aims to overcome some operations in a controlled atmosphere thereby reducing manufacturing costs.
- the watch case is installed in the setting with its winding rod set up but with the box bottom disconnected from the box, the box being closed by acting by means of a push rod. bottom to allow the closure of the box.
- the box is installed closed in the setting, with the exception of the winding rod.
- the closure of the box being obtained by acting on a rod push to allow
- Figure 1 illustrates a pose intended to accommodate the watch case.
- Figure 2 illustrates this same pose, once the watch case installed.
- Figure 3 schematically illustrates the pose provided with its lid.
- Figure 4 illustrates the setting in its envelope, before being introduced into a controlled atmosphere device.
- FIG 5 illustrates the setting in its flexible envelope evacuated.
- Figure 6 illustrates the setting removed from its flexible envelope after introduction of the winding rod.
- a posage 1 for accommodating a watch case in a housing 2.
- the posage 1 further comprises on either side of the housing 2 of the holding members 3 for positioning accurately and keep the watch case in the housing 2.
- the holding members 3 are represented in the form of rotary studs provided with a rod which cooperates with the horns of the watch case.
- Laying 1 further comprises guiding means 4 forming, in this embodiment, a housing for receiving an actuator represented in the form of a pusher 7 of winding rod 8.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the position 1 in which a watch case 5 has been placed held in position by its horns 6 by means of the holding members 3.
- the watch case 5 When the watch case 5 is placed in posage 1, the movement is already nested in the box and the bottom of the box is screwed. The watch is thus completely finished with the exception of its winding rod 8 which is positioned in the rod pusher 7 opposite the stem hole, but without being engaged in the stem hole of the watch case.
- the installation, its holding means and its guide means for closing the box can be shaped differently.
- the watch case is inserted open in the pose, that is to say with the open bottom.
- the bottom of the box rests on the setting, the rest of the box being held by holding members.
- the bottom of the box can be moved upwards by an actuator such as a bottom pusher 12 guided and sliding in cylindrical guide means 13.
- the next step of the process is to place a lid 9,
- the setting 1 preferably made of transparent material to improve the visibility (such as plexiglass) on the setting 1 so as to close the latter on its upper face.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the setting 1 in which the watch case as well as the rod pusher 7 are arranged in their respective positions, the cover 9 being placed on the set 1.
- Laying 1 is then introduced into a flexible envelope such as a plastic bag 10 which is shown in FIG. 4.
- the complete assembly 1 which is wrapped in its open envelope, is then placed in the enclosure of a setting device. controlled atmosphere or vacuum, such as a Henkelman type machine.
- the cover 9 makes it possible to prevent the flexible envelope from coming into contact with the watch case during the vacuuming operation.
- the vacuum chamber is then evacuated. Once the desired vacuum has been reached, for example a pressure of between 1 and 3 mbar, the flexible envelope is advantageously sealed by thermofusion.
- the winding rod is not yet put in place in the watch case according to this example, the pressure inside the watch is identical to that inside the envelope 10 to to know 1 to 3 mbar according to the example given above.
- the setting under protected atmosphere is carried out
- the pressure reduction time being of the order of 1 minute, until a pressure of the order of 1 to 3 mbar is reached.
- the setting 1 is kept in its open envelope for a period of time for example between 2 and 5 minutes to allow all the air contained in the watch case to evacuate.
- the posage 1 still enclosed in its envelope, is removed from the enclosure of the vacuum machine.
- the watch case being closed but without the winding rod being introduced into the watch case, it acts, using a tool 11 shown in Figure 5, on the push rod 7 from the outside of the casing 10.
- the pusher 7 is guided by the guide members 4 to set up the winding rod 8 in the winding hole.
- the winding rod 8 is in place in the watch case, the latter is sealed.
- the pressure inside the watch is therefore identical to that prevailing in the flexible envelope.
- the watch case being open and the winding rod set up before this step, it acts on the bottom pusher 12 by means of a suitable tool by the outside of the flexible envelope so as to push the bottom of the watch case against the box to close it.
- the guide means 13 guide the bottom pusher 12 during this step.
- the pressure inside the watch is therefore identical to that prevailing in the flexible envelope which, when the watch is at atmospheric pressure, serves to close the bottom hermetically even without screwing the bottom. Such screwing can then be performed once the watch comes out of the envelope in a final step of the process.
- This final step is to release the setting of its envelope for example with a cutter or other cutting tool.
- the interior of the pose is found at the pressure
- a specific tool is used to separate the rod from the rod pusher, the rod preferably having a through hole.
- This method has many advantages because it does not require specific equipment such as a valve fitted to the watch case. It is also not necessary to carry out complex operations such as fitting, adjusting or screwing the bottom of the can under a controlled atmosphere. It is also easily automated industrially.
- the method has been implemented using a flexible envelope. According to another aspect of the invention, it is also possible, although more expensive, to provide a rigid envelope provided with a valve and means for actuating the pusher by the guide means 4 when the envelope is under controlled atmosphere.
