- the mechanism and the selection device are in particular based on the use of vertical clutch devices so as to avoid malfunctions of the mechanisms known from the state of the art. Their design also makes it possible to achieve the implementation of a particularly simple interface regardless of the number of indications to be corrected and / or of functions to be activated.

Description
L'invention concerne un mécanisme de remontage et/ou de correction d'au moins une fonction horlogère. L'invention concerne encore un dispositif de sélection d'une fonction horlogère. Elle concerne aussi un mouvement horloger comprenant un tel dispositif ou un tel mécanisme. Elle concerne enfin une pièce d'horlogerie, notamment une montre bracelet, comprenant un tel dispositif ou un tel mécanisme ou un tel mouvement.The invention relates to a mechanism for winding and / or correcting at least one horological function.

On connaît un mécanisme d'interface prévu pour sélectionner et actionner l'une ou l'autre d'au moins deux fonctions horlogères. De tels dispositifs sont connus et utilisés dans de nombreuses montres bracelets, qu'il s'agisse de montres simples ou bien de celles affichant une indication dérivée de l'heure, telle que les quantièmes du mois, les jours de la semaine, ou encore les différents fuseaux horaires. La commande de ces différentes fonctions nécessite communément le déplacement axial de la tige de commande dans au moins deux positions distinctes. Une première position peut permettre un remontage manuel, une deuxième position intermédiaire peut permettre une correction des quantièmes et une troisième position peut permettre un réglage de l'heure.An interface mechanism is known for selecting and activating one or the other of at least two horological functions. Such devices are known and used in many wristwatches, whether they are simple watches or else those displaying a derivative indication of the time, such as the dates of the month, the days of the week, or else. the different time zones. The control of these different functions commonly requires the axial displacement of the control rod in at least two distinct positions. A first position can allow manual winding, a second intermediate position can allow date correction and a third position can allow time adjustment.
C'est pratiquement la limite des fonctions et/ou indications horaires que l'on peut régler avec une telle tige de commande dans la mesure où il est délicat de positionner la tige dans des positions intermédiaires et qu'il convient de mémoriser les positions axiales de la tige dédiées à chacune des fonctions de réglage.This is practically the limit of the functions and / or time indications that can be adjusted with such a control rod insofar as it is difficult to position the rod in intermediate positions and it is necessary to memorize the axial positions. of the rod dedicated to each of the adjustment functions.
Les mécanismes usuels comportent un pignon coulant qui est prévu pour se déplacer axialement dans au moins deux positions distinctes pour venir en prise alternativement avec la chaîne de remontage et les différentes chaînes de correction par le biais de dispositifs d'embrayage horizontal faisant intervenir un nombre important de bascules. La cinématique des différents rouages se déplaçant parallèlement au bâti du mouvement est compliquée et peut induire des problèmes de pénétration de denture les unes dans les autres qui se traduisent par des problèmes d'arc-boutement, d'usure, et de sensations aléatoires à la tige. Il existe ainsi un risque de bloquer axialement la tige et un risque de corriger intempestivement les indications.The usual mechanisms include a sliding pinion which is intended to move axially in at least two distinct positions to engage alternately with the winding chain and the various correction chains by means of horizontal clutch devices involving a large number. rockers. The kinematics of the different cogs moving parallel to the frame of the movement is complicated and can induce problems of tooth penetration into each other which result in problems of bracing, wear, and random sensations at the rod. There is thus a risk of axially blocking the rod and a risk of inadvertently correcting the indications.

Un mode de réalisation d'une pièce d'horlogerie selon l'invention est décrit ci-après en référence aux
Le mécanisme 100 de remontage et/ou de correction permet de commander au moins une fonction horlogère de remontage et/ou de correction. Il permet notamment de remonter le mouvement en armant un ressort de barillet et/ou de corriger une indication, notamment une indication d'un calendrier.The winding and / or
Le mécanisme de remontage et/ou de correction comprend une roue 1, 1' de commande de remontage et/ou de correction en prise directe et permanente avec un organe mobile 3, 2 et avec n roues E1, E2, E3, E1' n>1, de préférence n>2. Chaque roue fait partie d'une chaîne cinématique de correction ou de remontage. Chaque chaîne cinématique comprend un embrayage D1, D2, D3, D1'. Au moins n-1 embrayages parmi les n embrayages sont du type vertical. Notamment, les n embrayages peuvent être du type vertical.The winding and / or correction mechanism comprises a winding and / or
L'organe mobile comprend de préférence au moins un arbre, notamment une tige 3, monté mobile axialement en translation. L'axe de rotation de la roue 1, 1' de correction et/ou de remontage et l'axe de translation de l'arbre sont par exemple sensiblement concourants et/ou sensiblement perpendiculaires.The movable member preferably comprises at least one shaft, in particular a
L'organe mobile comprend de préférence aussi un pignon 2. La roue 1, 1' de correction et/ou de remontage est en prise directe et permanente avec le pignon 2 qui est solidaire en rotation de l'arbre 3, notamment monté à carré sur l'arbre 3. Le pignon 2 est fixe en translation relativement à un bâti du mouvement et l'arbre 3 peut se déplacer relativement au pignon 2.The movable member preferably also comprises a
Le mécanisme est doté de dispositifs d'embrayage qui sont chacun actionnés par l'arbre de façon à activer ou à désactiver l'une ou l'autre des chaînes de remontage et/ou de correction du mouvement d'horlogerie. Le mécanisme permet de mettre en place autant de dispositifs d'embrayage Di qu'il y a de chaînes de remontage et/ou de correction. Pour ce faire, ces chaînes de rouage sont agencées de façon à être en prise directe et permanente avec une unique roue de commande 1 comme représenté à la
Dans le mode de réalisation particulier représenté, il y a autant de dispositifs d'embrayage vertical Di qu'il y a de chaînes de correction des fonctions d'affichage du mouvement. Le pilotage des différentes fonctions de correction est possible grâce à un mobile 4, notamment une came de commande 4, actionné en rotation par action sur l'arbre 3, qui permet de générer N fois deux niveaux d'états 0,1 correspondant respectivement à un état de non-activation et d'activation de chacun des N embrayages verticaux. Ainsi, chaque embrayage peut être configuré dans un état activé ou embrayé ou dans un état non-activé ou débrayé. De préférence, lorsqu'un des embrayages est dans un état embrayé, les autres embrayages sont chacun dans un état débrayé. Il peut ainsi exister N combinaisons d'états où un seul embrayage vertical est activé, notamment chacune de ces N combinaisons correspond à une position angulaire du mobile 4, d'où N positions angulaires du mobile 4 correspondant aux N combinaisons.In the particular embodiment shown, there are as many vertical clutch devices Di as there are correction chains for the movement display functions. The control of the various correction functions is possible thanks to a mobile 4, in particular a
Le mobile 4 peut aussi assurer le pilotage d'un embraye horizontal comme dans le mode de réalisation représenté.The mobile 4 can also ensure the control of a horizontal clutch as in the embodiment shown.
Pour assurer le pilotage ou la commande des N embrayages verticaux dédiés à chacune des chaînes de correction des fonctions d'affichage du mouvement dans le mode de réalisation particulier représenté, le mobile 4 est conformé de façon à présenter N creux Ci dont les flancs Fi sont inclinés relativement au plan du bâti du mouvement, et sont chacun prévus pour permettre l'activation d'un dispositif d'embrayage spécifique comme représenté à la
Le mode de réalisation du mouvement comporte ici trois chaînes de correction, à savoir une chaîne de correction des quantièmes CH1, une chaîne de correction d'une deuxième indication calendaire CH2, ainsi qu'une chaîne de mise à l'heure de la pièce d'horlogerie CH3. Le mobile 4 est par exemple pivoté coaxialement à la roue de commande 1.The embodiment of the movement here comprises three correction chains, namely a date correction chain CH1, a correction chain for a second calendar indication CH2, as well as a chain for setting the time of the part d. CH3 watchmaking. The mobile 4 is for example rotated coaxially with the
Dans le mode de réalisation décrit, une chaîne de remontage conventionnelle CH1' est embrayée par une roue E1' qui est également en prise directe et permanente avec la roue de commande 1 par une roue de commande auxiliaire 1' qui lui est solidaire, et qui est pivotée sur le mobile 4 de façon à permettre son déplacement dans le plan du bâti du mouvement comme représenté sur la
Ainsi, dans le mode de réalisation particulier qui est décrit, n roues, notamment quatre roues, E1, E2, E3, E1' sont en prise directe et permanente avec la roue de commande 1, parmi lesquelles N roues, notamment trois roues, E1, E2, E3 font respectivement partie d'une chaîne cinématique, en particulier une chaîne de correction CH1, CH2, CH3 comprenant chacune un embrayage D1, D2, D3 de type vertical. Dans ce mode de réalisation particulier, une roue E1' fait partie d'une chaîne cinématique, notamment une chaîne de remontage CH1', comprenant un embrayage D1' de type horizontal. Il s'ensuit que dans ce mode de réalisation particulier, N est égal à n-1. Alternativement, N peut être égal à n si toutes les roues qui sont en prise directe et permanente avec la roue de commande font partie de chaînes cinématiques qui sont toutes activées par un embrayage de type vertical. Autrement dit, la roue de commande est en prise directe et permanente avec n roues E1, E2, E3, E1', chaque roue faisant partie d'une chaîne cinématique de correction ou de remontage, chaque chaîne cinématique comprenant un embrayage D1, D2, D3, D1', au moins n-1 embrayages étant de type vertical.Thus, in the particular embodiment which is described, n wheels, in particular four wheels, E1, E2, E3, E1 'are in direct and permanent engagement with the
Avantageusement, les roues 1 et 1' sont disposées de part et d'autre du bâti du mouvement. Avantageusement encore, le mobile 4 est pivoté entre ces deux éléments comme représenté à la
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, le mobile 4 est déplacé en rotation sous l'effet de la translation de l'arbre 3. Plus particulièrement, la traction axiale de l'arbre permet de sélectionner séquentiellement les fonctions de correction de la pièce d'horlogerie, tandis qu'une pression axiale sur cet arbre permet de sélectionner la fonction de remontage. La pression axiale permet aussi, simultanément, de réinitialiser la séquence de sélection des fonctions de correction. Ainsi, le dispositif est agencé de sorte qu'une action de translation de l'arbre, dans le sens d'appui sur l'arbre, provoque l'activation de la fonction de remontage et agencé de sorte qu'une action de translation de l'arbre, dans le sens de traction de l'arbre, provoque l'activation d'une fonction de correction.In the embodiment shown, the mobile 4 is moved in rotation under the effect of the translation of the
Avantageusement, à l'instar des mécanismes conventionnels à deux ou trois positions, une telle interface permet le remontage de la montre après dévissage ou avant revissage de la couronne de tige. Afin de permettre ces diverses sélections, le mécanisme comprend un dispositif 400 de sélection d'une fonction horlogère parmi par exemple une fonction de remontage et m fonctions de correction, en particulier trois fonctions de correction.Advantageously, like conventional mechanisms with two or three positions, such an interface allows the watch to be wound after unscrewing or before screwing back the stem crown. In order to allow these various selections, the mechanism comprises a
Le dispositif de sélection comprend un organe de commande 3 tel que l'arbre, notamment la tige. Le dispositif est donc apte à sélectionner la fonction de remontage par déplacement de l'organe de commande dans un premier sens et à sélectionner séquentiellement une fonction parmi m fonctions de correction par déplacement de l'organe de commande dans un deuxième sens.The selection device comprises a
Le dispositif de sélection comprend l'arbre 3 et le mobile 4 monté à rotation sur le bâti. La position du mobile 4 est déterminée par l'arbre et par la succession de déplacements de l'arbre. Comme vu précédemment, la position du mobile détermine l'état d'activation ou de non-activation des embrayages. En particulier, le sens de rotation du mobile est déterminé par le sens de translation de l'arbre. La rotation du mobile 4 est bidirectionnelle.The selection device comprises the
Pour ce faire, le dispositif de sélection comprend l'arbre 3 actionnant le mobile 4 par le biais d'un élément 90 d'entraînement séquentiel du mobile selon un premier sens.To do this, the selection device comprises the
Comme représenté sur la
Le dispositif comprend un premier ressort de rappel R5 agencé de sorte à rappeler la première bascule et l'organe de commande dans une position de repos. Ainsi, l'arbre et la première bascule sont monostables. L'arbre et la première bascule sont aussi chacun déplaçables de part et d'autre des positions de repos.The device comprises a first return spring R5 arranged so as to return the first lever and the control member to a rest position. Thus, the shaft and the first rocker are monostable. The shaft and the first rocker are also each movable on either side of the rest positions.
Le dispositif comprend encore un deuxième ressort de rappel R7 agencé de sorte à rappeler la troisième bascule, notamment un doigt, dans une position de repos.The device also comprises a second return spring R7 arranged so as to return the third lever, in particular a finger, into a rest position.
La première bascule est pivotée autour d'un axe P5 et la troisième bascule est pivotée autour d'un axe P7 sur la deuxième bascule. Les ressorts R5 et R7 permettent respectivement de rappeler la première bascule et la troisième bascule dans des positions de repos.The first latch is pivoted around an axis P5 and the third latch is pivoted around an axis P7 on the second latch. The springs R5 and R7 respectively make it possible to return the first rocker and the third rocker to rest positions.
L'arbre 3 est ainsi positionné de manière stable par le ressort de tirette R5 de façon à permettre l'actionnement de la fonction de remontage ou de correction sélectionnée par la rotation du mobile 4. Dans cette configuration, la position angulaire du mobile 4 est définie par un cliquet d'indexation 8. Le cliquet est par exemple fabriqué d'un seul tenant avec un ressort de rappel R8. La
Une traction sur la couronne 31 solidaire de l'arbre 3 induit la rotation de la première bascule 5 autour du pivot P5 par le biais de moyens conventionnels, et provoque ainsi la rotation de la deuxième bascule 6 autour d'un pivot P6 sous l'effet d'une goupille de tirette G5 qui est prévue pour coopérer avec un chemin C6 de bascule 6 comme représenté à la
Le relâchement de la couronne de tige provoque le repositionnement axial de l'arbre 3 sous l'effet du ressort de tirette R5. Lors de ce repositionnement les première et deuxième bascules se repositionnent également dans leur position de repos. Lors de ce repositionnement de la deuxième bascule, le doigt s'escamote sous l'action d'une dent du mobile 4. Ceci est possible par déformation élastique du ressort R7. La
Dans cette configuration comme représenté sur la
Dans cette même configuration, les extrémités respectives EA2 et EA3 des arbres A2 et A3 sont en appui à l'encontre de la surface S4 du mobile 4. Ainsi, les deux autres chaînes de correction sont débrayées. A titre d'exemple, la
De manière similaire à ce qui a été vu précédemment, une nouvelle traction sur l'arbre 3 induit le pivotement du mobile 4 dans un premier sens de rotation sur un pas angulaire de la denture 40, et permet ainsi le débrayage de la chaîne de correction des quantièmes et l'embrayage de la chaîne de correction d'une deuxième indication calendaire. La
De manière similaire à ce qui a été vu précédemment, une nouvelle traction sur l'arbre induit le pivotement du mobile 4 dans un premier sens de rotation sur un pas angulaire de la denture 40, et permet ainsi le débrayage de la chaîne de correction d'une deuxième indication calendaire et l'embrayage de la chaîne de mise à l'heure comme représenté sur la
Dans le mode de réalisation qui est décrit, une pression axiale sur l'arbre active la chaîne de remontage du mouvement, et ce quelle que soit la fonction de correction sélectionnée précédemment. A cet effet, la rotation du mobile 4 dans le premier sens de rotation induit l'armage d'un ressort de rappel R4 dont une première extrémité E1R4 est fixée au bâti du mouvement et une deuxième extrémité E2R4 est fixée au mobile 4 comme représenté sur la
A titre d'exemple, les
Dans une variante de réalisation alternative, le mobile 4 peut par exemple être mis en œuvre par une tirette dotée de creux Ci qui pourra être entraînée en pivotement par un dispositif de sélection tel que celui précédemment décrit ou par une tige de commande conventionnelle à deux, trois, ou quatre positions. Alternativement encore, le mobile 4 peut également être entraîné en pivotement sous l'effet d'un organe de sélection qui peut être différent ou non de l'organe qui permet d'actionner les fonctions de remontage et/ou de correction, comme par exemple une lunette ou une deuxième tige de sélection.In an alternative embodiment, the mobile 4 can for example be implemented by a pull tab provided with recesses Ci which can be driven in pivoting by a selection device such as that described above or by a conventional two-way control rod, three, or four positions. Alternatively again, the mobile 4 can also be driven in pivoting under the effect of a selection member which may or may not be different from the member which makes it possible to actuate the winding and / or correction functions, such as for example a telescope or a second selection rod.
L'architecture du mécanisme et du dispositif de sélection permet de simplifier la construction des mécanismes usuels tout en permettant de multiplier le nombre de fonctions, notamment de fonctions de correction, à la tige et de simplifier la sélection de ces fonctions.The architecture of the mechanism and of the selection device makes it possible to simplify the construction of the usual mechanisms while making it possible to multiply the number of functions, in particular of correction functions, at the rod and to simplify the selection of these functions.
Le mécanisme et le dispositif de sélection sont notamment basés sur la mise en œuvre de dispositifs d'embrayage vertical de façon à éviter les défauts de fonctionnement des mécanismes connus de l'état de l'art. Leur conception permet par ailleurs d'aboutir à la mise en œuvre d'une interface particulièrement simple quel que soit le nombre d'indications à corriger et/ou de fonctions à actionner. Préférentiellement, la sélection de l'une ou l'autre de ces fonctions s'effectue par des tractions ou pressions successives sur une tige de commande et l'actionnement de la fonction sélectionnée s'effectue par la rotation de ladite tige.The mechanism and the selection device are in particular based on the use of vertical clutch devices so as to avoid malfunctions of the mechanisms known from the state of the art. Their design also makes it possible to achieve the implementation of a particularly simple interface regardless of the number of indications to be corrected and / or of functions to be activated. Preferably, the selection of one or the other of these functions is carried out by successive pulls or pressures on a control rod and the actuation of the selected function is carried out by the rotation of said rod.
Dans ce document, les nombres n, N et m peuvent être indépendants les uns des autres.In this document, the numbers n, N and m can be independent of each other.
Par « fonction de correction », nous entendons toute fonction de réglage d'une fonction horlogère comme par exemple une indication horlogère, notamment une indication dérivée de l'heure, que le réglage s'effectue de façon unidirectionnelle ou bidirectionnelle.By “correction function” we mean any adjustment function of a horological function such as for example a horological indication, in particular an indication derived from the time, whether the adjustment is carried out unidirectional or bidirectional.
Un premier élément peut être en prise directe et permanente avec un deuxième élément si le premier élément est en contact avec le deuxième élément. Un premier élément peut également être en prise directe et permanente avec un deuxième élément par l'intermédiaire d'un troisième élément fixé au premier élément, qui est en contact avec le deuxième élément.A first element can be in direct and permanent engagement with a second element if the first element is in contact with the second element. A first element can also be in direct and permanent engagement with a second element by means of a third element fixed to the first element, which is in contact with the second element.
Ainsi, dans le mode de réalisation des
De préférence, dans les différents modes de réalisation, l'organe de commande présente une seule et unique position stable, c'est-à-dire qu'il est monostable. De préférence encore, dans les différents modes de réalisation, l'organe de commande est agencé de sorte à sélectionner la fonction de remontage par déplacement de l'organe de commande dans un premier sens, en particulier en translation, et à sélectionner au moins deux fonctions de correction par déplacement de l'organe de commande dans un deuxième sens, en particulier en translation, notamment un deuxième sens distinct du premier sens, voire opposé au premier sens.Preferably, in the various embodiments, the control member has a single stable position, that is to say it is monostable. Also preferably, in the various embodiments, the control member is arranged so as to select the winding function by moving the control member in a first direction, in particular in translation, and to select at least two correction functions by displacement of the control member in a second direction, in particular in translation, in particular a second direction distinct from the first direction, or even opposite to the first direction.
Dans tout ce document, par « sélection séquentielle de fonctions », il est de préférence entendu que les différentes fonctions sont sélectionnées successivement selon un ordre préétabli, en particulier en fonction du sens de déplacement de l'organe de commande. Cet ordre n'est pas modifiable pour un sens de déplacement donné de l'organe de commande. Ainsi, dans une sélection séquentielle de trois fonctions A, B et C, si l'ordre de sélection séquentielle des fonctions est : A, B, C, alors
- si la fonction A est initialement sélectionnée, une action de modification de sélection, en particulier par un deuxième sens de déplacement de l'organe de commande, ne peut entraîner que la sélection de la fonction B ;
- si la fonction B est initialement sélectionnée, une action de modification de sélection, en particulier par un deuxième sens de déplacement de l'organe de commande, ne peut entraîner que la sélection de la fonction C.
- if the function A is initially selected, an action to modify the selection, in particular by a second direction of movement of the control member, can only lead to the selection of the function B;
- if function B is initially selected, an action to modify the selection, in particular by a second direction of movement of the control member, can only result in the selection of function C.
Par ailleurs, que la fonction A, B ou C soit initialement sélectionnée, une action de déplacement de l'organe de commande dans un premier sens, entraîne la sélection d'une fonction D.Moreover, whether function A, B or C is initially selected, an action to move the control member in a first direction results in the selection of a function D.
Comme vu précédemment, le passage de sélection d'une fonction à la fonction suivante est réalisé par action de l'utilisateur sur l'organe de commande, notamment par déplacement de l'organe de commande selon le deuxième sens, en particulier par déplacement en translation de l'organe de commande. Ce déplacement est de préférence un déplacement éloignant l'organe de commande de sa position stable vers laquelle l'organe de commande est rappelé.As seen previously, the passage from selection of a function to the next function is carried out by action of the user on the control member, in particular by movement of the control member in the second direction, in particular by movement in translation of the control member. This movement is preferably a movement moving the control member away from its stable position towards which the control member is returned.
