Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of watchmaking. It relates more particularly to a vortex mechanism.
- the document CH 33 816 discloses a vortex mechanism in which the vortex cage is pivoted between a first pivot, bridge side, and a second pivot, platinum side, that includes the driving carrier of the cage.
- the cage is linked to a tray secured to the mobile trainer of the cage by means of several screws.
- such a connection is bulky and requires a relatively large diameter to allow the watchmaker to access the screws during the assembly of the tourbillon.
- the driving mobile of the cage must have a smaller diameter than the inner diameter of the serge of the fixed wheel, because of the fact that the fixed wheel must be mounted on the plate before the cage and the mobile coach can be placed in the movement.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a tourbillon mechanism for a timepiece in which the aforementioned defects are at least partially overcome.
- the invention relates to a tourbillon mechanism for a timepiece, comprising a tourbillon cage housing a regulating member comprising a balance, a spiral spring and an exhaust pivotally mounted on the cage.
- the vortex cage is arranged to rotate about an axis of rotation and includes a first pivot.
- the tourbillon mechanism further comprises a fixed wheel intended to be mounted integral with a frame element of said timepiece and arranged to mesh with an exhaust pinion that includes said exhaust.
- the vortex mechanism further comprises a cage driving wheel, coaxial with said cage, and preferably arranged to make one turn per minute.
- the cage driving wheel is rotatably connected to the tourbillon cage and comprises a gear wheel, a hub, and a second pivot.
- the vortex cage is intended to be pivoted on frame members of the timepiece between said first pivot and said second pivot.
- the vortex cage and said hub of the cage-driving mobile unit are secured in rotation by means of a first part of non-circular shape situated on said hub and adapted to interact with a second portion of complementary non-circular shape located on the cage. Consequently, it is no longer necessary or useful to have screws joining the cage to the cage-driving mobile, which thus makes it possible to mount the fixed wheel after the cage-driving mobile is already pivoted in the movement. It is thus possible to use a cage-driving mobile having a diameter greater than the inside diameter of the serge of the fixed wheel, for example a diameter identical to the second wheel of the finishing gear train.
- the vortex mechanism includes a support member adapted to support the hub during assembly of the vortex mechanism.
- the support member comprises a ring surrounding the hub and, preferably, a ruby-type ring located between the ring and the hub. This simplifies the assembly of vortex mechanism, because the cage drive mobile is held in place during assembly.
- the support member is integral with said fixed wheel, and the support member is intended to be mounted on a frame member of the timepiece. Therefore, the fixed wheel and the support member can be mounted in the movement in one step.
- the invention further relates to a watch movement comprising a vortex mechanism as defined above.
- the first pivot is pivoted on a bridge that includes the watch movement
- the second pivot is pivoted on a plate that includes the watch movement.
- said fixed wheel is mounted on the support element before the support member is secured to the plate.
- a cage driving mobile having a diameter greater than the inner diameter of the fixed wheel can be used in the vortex mechanism, as stated above.
- the figure 1 shows a sectional view of a vortex mechanism 1 according to the invention, which illustrates the general construction of the vortex mechanism 1.
- the vortex mechanism 1 comprises, in a general manner, a cage 3 formed of two bridges 5, 6, 9.
- the cage 3 houses, as is generally known, a regulating member 11 comprising a spiral spring 13, a rocker 15 and an exhaust (not shown).
- the details of the regulator member 11 are not part of the present invention and will not be described in more detail.
- the cage 3 is pivoted on its upper side (with reference to the figure 1 ) in a frame member such as a bridge (not shown) by a first pivot 7.
- the vortex mechanism 1 further comprises a fixed wheel 17, secured via a support member 19 to a frame member of a clockwork movement (not shown), such as a platen.
- a frame member of a clockwork movement (not shown), such as a platen.
- an exhaust pinion 18 that includes the exhaust, meshes with the toothing of the fixed wheel 17.
- the cage 3 is rotated by means of a cage drive gear 21, which is preferably arranged to turn in one minute, but other rotational speeds are possible.
- the mobile coach of cage 21 comprises a toothed wheel 22, which can mesh with a seconds wheel (not shown), located at the center of the watch movement or not, and having the same number of teeth as the toothed wheel 22.
- the seconds wheel is located in the center of the movement and meshes directly with the cage driving wheel 21, advantageously obtaining a second display in the direct center by using the tourbillon mechanism 1 of the invention.
- such an arrangement makes it possible to prevent the clogging of a seconds hand in the center.
- the mobile cage drive 21 is used as a single seconds wheel in the finishing gear of the watch movement.
- the cage driving wheel 21 further comprises a hub 23, which is pivoted at its lower end (with reference to the figures) in a frame member such as a plate (not shown) by means of a second pivot 25 , which also serves as the second pivot of the cage 3.
- the support member 19 serves to support the hub 23 of the cage drive unit 21 via a support ring 27 formed of a ruby-type ring during the assembly of the vortex, as will be explained more clearly later. It should be noted that the support member supports the seconds handpiece 21, holding it in place exclusively during assembly, and has no function after the vortex is mounted.
- the hub 23 of the cage drive unit 21 has at its upper end, that is to say its end opposite the second pivot 25, a first non-circular shape 37, which is integral in rotation with a corresponding second non-circular shape 39 that comprises the lower bridge 6 of the cage 3 at its hub 31.
- the non-circular shape can be of any shape allowing the drive of the cage 3 by the hub 23 of the seconds mobile 21, for example square, fluted, with an oval cylinder, or the like, by form locking, without driving or screwing.
- the first non-circular shape 37 is formed by two pins 29 driven into the upper end of the hub 23 of the cage drive gear 21 and protruding from the hub 23. They are arranged parallel to the axis of rotation of the latter, next to a generally cylindrical portion 35 that comprises the upper end of said hub 23
- the hub 31 of the lower bridge 6 of the cage 3 has a second non-circular shape comprising an opening complementary to the first non-circular shape and adapted to receive the upper end of the hub 23 of the cage drive unit 21, including the pins 29.
- the cage 3 is thus secured in rotation to the seconds mobile 21, and can be driven by the latter. It should be noted that the number of pins 29 can be chosen according to the needs of the watchmaker.
- the mounting steps of the vortex mechanism are as follows.
- the vortex cage 3, including the regulating member 11, is assembled, as is the cage driving wheel 21 with its toothed wheel 22.
- the fixed wheel 17 is secured to the support member 19, which comprises the support ring 27.
- the cage driving wheel 21 and its toothed wheel 22 are pivoted on a frame element, such as a platinum, of a clockwork movement. Then, the fixed wheel assembly 17 - support member 19 - support ring 27 is fitted around the hub 23 of the cage drive unit 21, and is secured to the frame element, for example by means of screws 33. The mobile cage drive 21 is thus supported in position by the support ring 27.
- the cage 3 is placed on the upper end of the hub 23 of the cage drive unit 21, the first non-circular portion and the second non-circular portion interacting with each other.
- an upper bridge is placed around the first pivot 7 of the cage 3, and is secured to a frame member of the watch movement.

Description
La présente invention se rapporte au domaine de l'horlogerie. Elle concerne, plus particulièrement, un mécanisme de tourbillon.The present invention relates to the field of watchmaking. It relates more particularly to a vortex mechanism.
Le document
Le but de l'invention est par conséquent de proposer un mécanisme de tourbillon pour pièce d'horlogerie dans lequel les défauts susmentionnés sont au moins partiellement surmontés.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a tourbillon mechanism for a timepiece in which the aforementioned defects are at least partially overcome.
De façon plus précise, l'invention concerne un mécanisme de tourbillon pour pièce d'horlogerie, comprenant une cage de tourbillon logeant un organe régulateur comprenant un balancier, un ressort spiral et un échappement montés pivotants sur la cage. La cage de tourbillon est agencée de manière à tourner autour d'un axe de rotation et comprend un premier pivot. Le mécanisme de tourbillon comprend encore une roue fixe destinée à être montée solidaire avec un élément de bâti de ladite pièce d'horlogerie et agencée pour engrener avec un pignon d'échappement que comporte ledit échappement. Le mécanisme de tourbillon comprend en outre un mobile entraîneur de cage, coaxial à ladite cage, et agencé de préférence pour faire un tour par minute. Le mobile entraîneur de cage est solidaire en rotation avec la cage de tourbillon et comprend une roue dentée, un moyeu, et un second pivot. La cage de tourbillon est destinée à être pivotée sur des éléments de bâti de la pièce d'horlogerie entre ledit premier pivot et ledit second pivot.More specifically, the invention relates to a tourbillon mechanism for a timepiece, comprising a tourbillon cage housing a regulating member comprising a balance, a spiral spring and an exhaust pivotally mounted on the cage. The vortex cage is arranged to rotate about an axis of rotation and includes a first pivot. The tourbillon mechanism further comprises a fixed wheel intended to be mounted integral with a frame element of said timepiece and arranged to mesh with an exhaust pinion that includes said exhaust. The vortex mechanism further comprises a cage driving wheel, coaxial with said cage, and preferably arranged to make one turn per minute. The cage driving wheel is rotatably connected to the tourbillon cage and comprises a gear wheel, a hub, and a second pivot. The vortex cage is intended to be pivoted on frame members of the timepiece between said first pivot and said second pivot.
Selon l'invention, la cage de tourbillon et ledit moyeu du mobile entraîneur de cage sont solidaires en rotation au moyen d'une première partie de forme non circulaire située sur ledit moyeu et adaptée pour interagir avec une seconde partie de forme non circulaire complémentaire située sur la cage. Par conséquent, il n'est plus nécessaire ni utile d'avoir des vis joignant la cage au mobile entraîneur de cage, ce qui permet ainsi de monter la roue fixe après que le mobile entraîneur de cage soit déjà pivoté dans le mouvement. On peut ainsi utiliser un mobile entraîneur de cage présentant un diamètre plus large que le diamètre intérieur de la serge de la roue fixe, par exemple un diamètre identique à la roue de secondes du rouage de finissage.According to the invention, the vortex cage and said hub of the cage-driving mobile unit are secured in rotation by means of a first part of non-circular shape situated on said hub and adapted to interact with a second portion of complementary non-circular shape located on the cage. Consequently, it is no longer necessary or useful to have screws joining the cage to the cage-driving mobile, which thus makes it possible to mount the fixed wheel after the cage-driving mobile is already pivoted in the movement. It is thus possible to use a cage-driving mobile having a diameter greater than the inside diameter of the serge of the fixed wheel, for example a diameter identical to the second wheel of the finishing gear train.
De préférence, ladite forme non circulaire comprend au moins l'un des éléments suivants :
- une goupille ;
- une encoche ;
- un ergot ;
- des cannelures ;
- une partie de forme polygonale.
- a pin;
- a notch ;
- a spur;
- splines;
- a part of polygonal shape.
Dans un mode de réalisation, le mécanisme de tourbillon comprend un organe de support adapté pour soutenir le moyeu lors de l'assemblage du mécanisme de tourbillon. De manière avantageuse, l'organe de support comprend une bague entourant le moyeu et, de préférence, un anneau de type rubis situé entre la bague et le moyeu. Ceci simplifie l'assemblage du mécanisme de tourbillon, car le mobile entraîneur de cage est maintenu en place lors du montage.In one embodiment, the vortex mechanism includes a support member adapted to support the hub during assembly of the vortex mechanism. Advantageously, the support member comprises a ring surrounding the hub and, preferably, a ruby-type ring located between the ring and the hub. This simplifies the assembly of vortex mechanism, because the cage drive mobile is held in place during assembly.
De préférence, l'élément de support est solidaire de ladite roue fixe, et l'organe de support est destiné à être monté sur un élément de bâti de la pièce d'horlogerie. Par conséquent, la roue fixe et l'organe de support peuvent être montés dans le mouvement en une seule étape.Preferably, the support member is integral with said fixed wheel, and the support member is intended to be mounted on a frame member of the timepiece. Therefore, the fixed wheel and the support member can be mounted in the movement in one step.
L'invention concerne en outre un mouvement d'horlogerie comprenant un mécanisme de tourbillon comme défini ci-dessus. De préférence, le premier pivot est pivoté sur un pont que comporte le mouvement d'horlogerie, et dans lequel le second pivot est pivoté sur une platine que comporte le mouvement d'horlogerie.The invention further relates to a watch movement comprising a vortex mechanism as defined above. Preferably, the first pivot is pivoted on a bridge that includes the watch movement, and wherein the second pivot is pivoted on a plate that includes the watch movement.
De plus, l'invention concerne un procédé d'assemblage d'un mouvement d'horlogerie comprenant un mécanisme de tourbillon comme définie ci-dessus et comprenant ledit organe de support. Ce procédé comprend les étapes suivantes :
- assembler ladite cage de tourbillon, y compris ledit organe régulateur comprenant ledit balancier, ledit ressort spiral et ledit échappement montés pivotants sur la cage ;
- pivoter ledit mobile entraîneur de cage dans une platine du mouvement d'horlogerie ;
- solidariser ledit organe de support sur ledit élément de bâti, supportant ainsi ledit moyeu du mobile entraîneur de cage ;
- solidariser ladite roue fixe à la platine ;
- placer ladite cage de tourbillon sur le moyeu, en engageant la première partie non circulaire avec la seconde partie non circulaire ;
- placer un pont au-dessus de la cage, ledit premier pivot étant pivoté dans ledit pont, le pont étant subséquemment solidarisé avec un élément de bâti.
- assembling said vortex cage, including said regulating member comprising said balance beam, said spiral spring and said escapement pivotally mounted on the cage;
- pivoting said cage drive gear in a turntable of the watch movement;
- securing said support member to said frame member, thereby supporting said hub of the cage driving mobile;
- securing said fixed wheel to the plate;
- placing said tourbillon cage on the hub, engaging the first non-circular portion with the second non-circular portion;
- placing a bridge over the cage, said first pivot being pivoted in said bridge, the bridge subsequently being secured to a frame member.
De préférence, ladite roue fixe est montée sur l'élément de support avant que l'organe de support ne soit solidarisé à la platine.Preferably, said fixed wheel is mounted on the support element before the support member is secured to the plate.
Par conséquent, grâce au fait que le montage de la roue fixe est postérieur à celui du mobile entraîneur de cage, un mobile entraîneur de cage présentant un diamètre plus large que le diamètre intérieur de la roue fixe peut être utilisé dans le mécanisme de tourbillon, comme énoncé ci-dessus.Therefore, thanks to the fact that the mounting of the fixed wheel is posterior to that of the cage driving mobile, a cage driving mobile having a diameter greater than the inner diameter of the fixed wheel can be used in the vortex mechanism, as stated above.

La
Le mécanisme de tourbillon 1 comprend en outre une roue fixe 17, fixée via un organe de support 19 à un élément de bâti d'un mouvement d'horlogerie (non illustré), tel qu'une platine. De manière connue, un pignon d'échappement 18 que comporte l'échappement, engrène avec la denture de la roue fixe 17.The vortex mechanism 1 further comprises a fixed
La cage 3 est entraînée en rotation au moyen d'un mobile entraîneur de cage 21, qui est de préférence agencé pour faire un tour en une minute, mais d'autres vitesses de rotation sont envisageables. Le mobile entraîneur de cage 21 comprend une roue dentée 22, qui peut engrener avec une roue de secondes (non illustrée), située au centre du mouvement d'horlogerie ou non, et présentant le même nombre de dents que la roue dentée 22. Dans le cas où ladite roue de secondes est située au centre du mouvement et engrène directement avec le mobile entraîneur de cage 21, on obtient avantageusement un affichage de seconde au centre directe en utilisant le mécanisme de tourbillon 1 de l'invention. De plus, un tel agencement permet d'empêcher le chevrotement d'une aiguille de secondes au centre. Il est aussi possible que le mobile entraîneur de cage 21 soit utilisé comme roue de secondes unique dans le rouage de finissage du mouvement d'horlogerie.The
Le mobile entraîneur de cage 21 comprend en outre un moyeu 23, qui est pivoté du côté de son extrémité inférieure (en référence aux figures) dans un élément de bâti tel qu'une platine (non illustrée) au moyen d'un second pivot 25, qui sert également comme second pivot de la cage 3.The
L'organe de support 19 sert à soutenir le moyeu 23 du mobile entraîneur de cage 21 via une bague de support 27 formée d'un anneau de type rubis lors du montage du tourbillon, comme on l'expliquera plus clairement par la suite. Il est à noter que l'organe de support soutient le mobile de secondes 21, le tenant en place exclusivement pendant le montage, et n'a aucune fonction après que le tourbillon soit monté.The
Le moyeu 23 du mobile entraîneur de cage 21 présente à son extrémité supérieure, c'est-à-dire son extrémité opposée au second pivot 25, une première forme non circulaire 37, qui est solidaire en rotation avec une seconde forme non circulaire 39 correspondante que comporte le pont inférieur 6 de la cage 3 au niveau de son moyeu 31. En principe, la forme non circulaire peut être de n'importe quelle forme permettant l'entraînement de la cage 3 par le moyeu 23 du mobile de secondes 21, par exemple carrée, cannelée, avec un cylindre ovale, ou similaire, par blocage de forme, sans chassage, ni vissage. De plus, il n'est pas important si le mobile entraîneur de cage 21 porte une forme male ou une forme femelle.The
Dans le mode de réalisation de la
Les étapes de montage du mécanisme de tourbillon sont les suivantes.The mounting steps of the vortex mechanism are as follows.
La cage 3 de tourbillon, y compris l'organe régulateur 11, est assemblée, ainsi que le mobile entraîneur de cage 21 avec sa roue dentée 22. En outre, la roue fixe 17 est solidarisée avec l'organe de support 19, qui comprend la bague de support 27.The
Le mobile entraîneur de cage 21 et sa roue dentée 22 sont pivotés sur un élément de bâti, tel qu'une platine, d'un mouvement d'horlogerie. Puis, l'ensemble roue fixe 17 - organe de support 19 - bague de support 27 est emmanché autour du moyeu 23 du mobile entraîneur de cage 21, et est solidarisé à l'élément de bâti, par exemple au moyen de vis 33. Le mobile entraîneur de cage 21 est ainsi supporté en position par la bague de support 27.The
Subséquemment, la cage 3 est placée sur l'extrémité supérieure du moyeu 23 du mobile entraîneur de cage 21, la première partie non circulaire et la seconde partie non circulaire interagissant entre eux.Subsequently, the
Finalement, un pont supérieur est placé autour du premier pivot 7 de la cage 3, et est solidarisé avec un élément du bâti du mouvement d'horlogerie.Finally, an upper bridge is placed around the
