Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mechanism for triggering an animation for animating an object (character, figurine, animal, flower ).
  • the mechanism for triggering an animation according to the invention is in particular intended to equip a timepiece, in particular a wristwatch.
  • Animation mechanisms are known and can put in motion a character, a figurine, an animal or a flower. These mechanisms are particularly used in jewelery or watchmaking. In general, when they are integrated in a movement of a timepiece, they are arranged to trigger the animation at certain times (passage of time for example) or on demand via an actuatable control member by the user.
  • the document CH 403 368 describes a mechanism for triggering an animation that can be used alone, for example to be integrated in a jewel, and which comprises an oscillating mass whose rotation in a first direction triggers the trigger mechanism of an animation.
  • the animation is not triggered when the oscillating mass rotates in a second direction opposite to the first one.
  • the movements of the object to be animated depend solely on the movements of the oscillating mass.
  • the document WO 2012/123306 describes a mechanism for triggering an animation for a timepiece to simulate the distribution of cards in a game of blackjack or poker.
  • the mechanism comprises a system for rotating and stopping randomly several discs bearing playing card figures and cooperating with counter windows of the timepiece.
  • the system allows the disks to stop in random positions and includes a spring member that is armed by the action of a user-operated pusher. The energy provided by the pressure of the weapon push the member spring and is then released and transmitted to a transmission board.
  • the transmission board is engaged with each of the disks for their rotation.
  • Each of the disks is subjected to the action of a jumper arranged to stop it and define its stopped position.
  • the different springs of the jumpers have different behaviors and the discs are braked in a different way which allows to vary the combinations of draw cards and make them random.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide a new mechanism for triggering an animation for animating an object (character, figurine, animal 7), in particular for a timepiece, and in which the movements of the object to be animated can be controlled randomly, in particular according to the speed and random or quasi-random movements of an oscillating mass, for example a winding mass of the movement of the timepiece.
  • the present invention relates to a mechanism for triggering an animation according to claim 1.
  • the mechanism for triggering an animation according to the invention is intended to set in motion an object to animate such as a character, an animal, a flower or any other decorative element in order to obtain an entertaining effect.
  • the invention does not relate directly to the object to animate, its shape and movements, they are not illustrated and will not be described in more detail below.
  • the mechanism for triggering an animation is intended to trigger the movements of the object to be animated at quasi-random moments which depend in particular on the speed and displacements of an unbalanced oscillating weight mounted free to rotate relative to to the triggering mechanism of an animation.
  • this oscillating mass is also arranged to raise a motor member providing the energy required for the triggering mechanism of an animation.
  • the trigger mechanism of an animation according to the invention is particularly intended to equip a timepiece.
  • the trigger mechanism of an animation according to the invention could also equip a jewel or other suitable object.
  • the mechanism for triggering an animation 100 equips a timepiece equipped with a self-winding movement comprising an oscillating winding mass.
  • the triggering mechanism of an animation 100 comprises a driving member which is in the illustrated embodiment, an animation barrel 1.
  • the animation barrel 1 is distinct from the main barrel of the movement of the workpiece. watch and is intended exclusively for the triggering mechanism of an animation 100.
  • the driving member could be the cylinder of the movement of the timepiece or any other appropriate motor unit whether dedicated exclusively or not to the mechanism for triggering an animation 100.
  • the animation cylinder 1 is raised by an oscillating oscillating mass 10 and a suitable winding mechanism.
  • the mechanism for triggering an animation 100 comprises a control mobile intended to control the triggering of the movements of the object to be animated.
  • the control wheel is pivotally rotated about an axis of rotation whose position is independent of the position of the axis of rotation of the oscillated oscillating mass 10.
  • the control wheel is a cam of control 2 having the shape of a star whose teeth are distributed unevenly around its circumference.
  • the control cam 2 is intended to cooperate with a trigger rocker 3 for triggering the animation.
  • the animation cylinder 1 is kinematically connected to the control cam 2 to provide the energy necessary to trigger the animation.
  • the energy of the animation cylinder 1 and the kinematic chain connecting it to the control cam 2 thus determines a basic speed for the control cam 2 which imposes a rhythm for the triggering of the animation in the absence of movements. of the oscillating mass 10.
  • this basic speed of the control cam 2 may be such that the triggering of the animation via the control cam 2, whose teeth are irregular, and the tripping lever 3 takes place every 3 +/- 1 minute, about twenty times an hour.
  • the triggering of the animation may also be driven by the movement of the timepiece and take place at predetermined times, for example every hour.
  • control cam 2 is also kinematically linked with a transmission mobile 16 to which the movements of the oscillating mass 10 are transmitted.
  • This transmission mobile 16 can be controlled by the movements of the oscillating mass 10 whatever its direction of rotation, and it can either turn in both directions or in one direction as a reversing mobile in an automatic winding mechanism.
  • the transmission mobile 16 can be controlled by the movements of the oscillating mass 10 in a single direction of rotation.
  • the trigger mechanism of an animation 100 comprises a planetary gear system whose output determines the speed of rotation of the control cam 2.
  • the system planetary gear has two independent inputs: a first input is connected to the motor member of the trigger mechanism of an animation 100 (see FIG. figure 5 ) while the second input is connected to the oscillating mass (see figure 6 ).
  • the first input of the planetary system is connected to the drum of the animation cylinder 1 while the second input is connected to the oscillating mass 10.
  • the planetary gear system of the triggering mechanism of an animation 100 comprises a first planetary mobile 6 which constitutes the first input of the system and which is connected by a kinematic chain to the drum of the drum.
  • animation 1 as shown in the figure 5 .
  • This first planetary mobile 6 is arranged to serve as a satellite carrier for a first satellite 7.1 and a second satellite 7.2 rotated on diametrically opposite radii of the first planetary mobile 6.
  • the first and second satellites 7.1, 7.2 meshing with a sun gear 4 which is integral with the control cam 2 at diametrically opposite points. This sun gear 4 is therefore the output of the planetary gear system.
  • the satellites 7.1 and 7.2 are in engagement with the internal toothing 5.1 of a second sun wheel having here in the form of a ring gear 5.
  • the external toothing 5.2 of the ring gear 5 constitutes the second input of the planetary system and is connected kinematically via a kinematic chain with the Thus, the movements of the ring 5 depend on the displacements and the speed of the oscillating mass 10.
  • the oscillating mass 10 and the winding mechanism are arranged to raise the animation barrel 1 only in a direction of rotation of the oscillating mass 10.
  • the oscillating mass 10 is connected to the transmission mobile 16 by a clutch mechanism comprising a clutch rocker 12 carrying a clutch gear 14.
  • the clutch rocker 12 moves and the clutch gear 14 is either in an engaged position in which it cooperates with the transmission wheel 16 ( figure 7a ) in a disengaged position in which it is not in contact with the transmission wheel 16 ( figure 7b ).
  • the transmission mobile 16 rotates according to the movements of the oscillating mass 10 in its winding direction.
  • the transmission mobile 16 is connected to the outer teeth 5.2 of the ring gear 5 by a gear train 18 which can also comprise another planetary gear, as illustrated in FIG. figure 6 .
  • the ring gear 5 is driven via the transmission wheel 16 and the gear train 18 into engagement with its external toothing 5.2, with the consequence of varying the base speed of the control cam 2 (determined by the animation barrel 1) at the output of the planetary gear system.
  • the trigger moments of the animation then become random when the timepiece is worn on the wrist of a user.
  • the speed of the control cam 2 is thus determined by the driving force of the animation cylinder 1 transmitted to the sun gear 4 and the cam of control 2 by the first planetary mobile 6 and the first and second satellites 7.1, 7.2 and the movements of the oscillating mass 10 transmitted by the transmission mobile 16 and the gear 18 to the crown 5.
  • the triggering of the animation therefore depends the speed and movements of the oscillating mass 10 (in one direction at least in the illustrated embodiment) and this trigger then becomes essentially random in the case of a wristwatch.
  • the figure 8 illustrates a variant of the control cam which is in this case a star 2 'whose teeth are unevenly distributed at its circumference and have irregular heights.
  • a control cam 2 ' can trigger the animation for durations proportional to the height of its teeth which further strengthens the random nature of the mechanism.
  • control wheel is irregularly shaped to emphasize the randomness of the animation.
  • control wheel could be cut evenly, the planetary gear system and the random or quasi-random movements of the oscillating weight ensuring the randomness of the animation.
  • the triggering mechanism of an animation according to the invention can be used to animate any kind of object in various fields such as jewelery or watchmaking.
  • the randomness of the animation is obtained by a simple but effective mechanism that adapts to a large number of situations. For example, in the embodiment with a flip-flop 3 coming to feel a control cam 2, the triggering of the animation can be instantaneous, while leaving the possibility of triggering the triggering mechanism of an animation at the same time. request via an appropriate mechanism.
