  • the constant force spring 3 it is arranged so that its torque tends to rotate the intermediate wheel 5 counterclockwise (thus also has a negative sign). Consequently, the torque due to the constant force spring 3 and acting on the first escape wheel 9 tends to rotate it clockwise and this torque opposite the torque of the constant force spring 3 therefore has a positive sign.

  • the resultant pairs of the spring 11 and the constant force spring 3 acting on the first escape wheel 9 tends to rotate it clockwise.
  • the escape mechanism according to the invention is arranged so that the only mobile in movement is the oscillatory motive that performs its first alternation.
  • the input pinion 1 and the second escape wheel 2 are locked by the second anchor 14, a tooth of said second escape wheel 2 being in abutment against the rest plane 143 of the entry pallet 14a of the second anchor 14.
  • the escape wheel comprising the escape pinion 6 and the first escape wheel 9 are in turn blocked by the first anchor 15, whose entry pallet 15a is in contact with a tooth of the first escape wheel 9. More precisely, as illustrated in FIG.
  • the oscillatory mobile 10, 11 changes direction for its second alternation.
  • the barrel 10 then rotates counterclockwise and the torque of the spring 11 exerted on the outer attachment point 12 of the exhaust shaft 7 tends to rotate the first escape wheel 9 counterclockwise.
  • a second blocking phase B in which the pair of the spiral 11 is negative as illustrated in the graph of the figure 14 but is always greater than the torque of the constant force spring 3.
  • the other components of the escapement mechanism according to the invention apart from the oscillatory mobile remain in the same position as for the first phase of blocking A ( figure 5 ), that is, blocked by the anchor mobile which is itself supported against the first fixed pin.
  • a first phase of clearance C illustrated in FIG. figure 7 starts when the pair of the spring 11 equals and then becomes less than the torque of the constant force spring 3.
  • the resultant of these two pairs on the first wheel Exhaust 9 tends to rotate it counterclockwise.
  • the escape wheel and in particular the first escape wheel 9 is not blocked in the counterclockwise direction, they begin to rotate.
  • the intermediate wheel 5 rotates clockwise driven by the exhaust pinion 6.
  • the input pinion 1 and the second escape wheel 2 are in turn always blocked by the second anchor 14. Even if the first anchor 15 is now released from the first escape wheel 9, the anchor mobile remains stationary and bears against the first fixed pin.
  • This first release phase C lasts until a tooth of the first escape wheel 9 comes into contact with the outer blank 158 of the output pallet 15b of the first anchor 15. This contact marks the beginning of the second phase of release D illustrated in the figure 8 .
  • the second release phase D lasts until the torque of the spiral 11 again becomes greater than the torque of the spring of constant force 3. At this point, the first pulse phase E, illustrated in FIG. figure 9 .
  • the first escape wheel 9 drives the outer attachment point 12 of the exhaust axis 7 which moves "pulls" on the spring 11 and moves its equilibrium point which has the effect of raising the spiral 11 and thus to maintain the oscillations of the balance 10.
  • This phase marks the beginning of the pulse.
  • the pulse lasts until the next oscillation of the oscillatory mobile.
  • the first escape wheel 9 drives the intermediate wheel 5 counter-clockwise via the exhaust pinion 6.
  • the first pulse phase E is extended until a tooth of the first escape wheel 9 comes into contact with the beveled end 158 of the output pallet 15b of the first anchor 15. There then begins a first release phase F illustrated in the figure 10 .
  • the first escape wheel 9 drives the first anchor 15 counterclockwise.
  • the second anchor 14 secured to the first anchor 15 also rotates counterclockwise and the entry pallet 14a of the second anchor 14 gradually leaves the toothing of the second escape wheel 2.
  • the escapement wheel is always moving in the clockwise direction (the torque of the spiral 11 is always greater than the torque of the constant force spring 3) and continues to transmit the pulse to the oscillatory wheel in moving the outer end of the hairspring 11 via the external attachment point 12.
  • the intermediate wheel 5 is therefore always driven in the counterclockwise direction.
  • the first release phase F continues until the entry pallet 14a of the second anchor 14 is completely disengaged from the toothing of the second escape wheel 2.

  • This fourth blocking phase H is illustrated in FIG. figure 12 .
  • the second escape wheel 2 and the input pinion 1 are thus blocked again by the second anchor 14.
  • the anchor wheel and in particular the pallet 15b of the first anchor 15 have moved to a position in which they are no longer in the path of the first escape wheel 9 which therefore continues to rotate clockwise (the pulse is always transmitted to the oscillating mobile ).
  • the anchor mobile stops once the output pallet 14b of the second anchor 14 in contact with the second escape wheel 2 and once the anchor mobile abuts with the first fixed pin not shown.
  • the fourth locking phase H continues until a tooth d of the first escape wheel 9 comes into contact with the second inclined rest plane 154 of the entry pallet 15a of the first anchor 15.
  • a last release phase 1 occurs at the end of the second alternation of the oscillatory mobile, before a new oscillation.
  • This last release phase 1 is illustrated in figure 13a .
  • the first escape wheel 9 is always driven in the clockwise direction by the torque due to the constant force spring 3 which is greater than the torque of the hairspring 11. Thanks to the profile of the entry pallet 15a of the first anchor 15 and its rest notch 154, 155, 156, the first escape wheel 9 bearing against said input pallet 15a will rotate the anchor wheel clockwise. More precisely, the tooth d of the first escape wheel 9 slides on the second inclined plane of repose 154 of the entry pallet 15a of the first anchor 15, the inclination of said second rest plane 154 causing the rotation of the first anchor 15 clockwise ( figure 13b ). Following the rotation of the anchor mobile clockwise, the second anchor 14 releases again the second escapement wheel 2 and the input gear 1 which begin to rotate counterclockwise under the action of the wheel of the movement of the timepiece. The constant force spring 3 is thus again partially recharged.
  • This last release phase I lasts until the tooth d of the first escape wheel 9 comes into contact with the rest line 156 of the rest notch 154, 155 of the entry pallet 15a of the first anchor 15. At this time, the first escape wheel 9 and the escape mobile are again blocked by the anchor mobile. This completes the impulse.
  • the anchor wheel and in particular the profile of the entry pallet 15a of the first anchor 15 are shaped so that when the tooth d of the first escape wheel 9 comes into contact with the rest line 156 the second anchor 14 has pivoted to a position in which the entry pallet 14a of the second anchor 14 again co-operates with the second escape wheel 2 to lock it and the input gear 1.
  • the mechanism exhaust thus found the configuration of the first blocking phase A described above and illustrated in FIG. figure 5 .
  • the oscillatory mobile 10, 11 can initiate a new oscillation.
  • the pulse is transmitted to the oscillatory mobile 10, 11 from the first pulse phase E until the end of the last release phase 1 during the second alternation. oscillating mobile oscillator 10, 11.
  • the exhaust mechanism described above is a lost-blow exhaust mechanism.
  • the mobile of constant force could be coaxial with the mobile of escape.
  • the inner end of the hairspring 11 can be fixed to the escapement and the outer end of the hairspring 11 can be fixed to the balance 10.
  • the hairspring can also be fixed to the hanger 10. have a shape (for example, cylindrical or spherical) that does not necessarily have inner and outer ends.
  • escapement with a constant force translation is thus achieved which has the advantage of improving the chronometry of a standard translation escapement by making the torque transmitted to the oscillatory wheel constant and independent of the energy transmitted by the wheel and the body. motor of the movement of the timepiece (winding of the mainspring, for example).
  • the escapement mechanism according to the invention is independent of the oscillating mobile, which can be a traditional balance spring system as described above or a suspended balance system.
  • the exhaust mechanism according to the invention is also suitable for a high frequency oscillating mobile.
