Description

Domaine de l'inventionField of the invention

L'invention se rapporte à un mouvement horloger comprenant un dispositif prolongateur de réserve de marche, de manière à limiter la consommation en énergie du mouvement lorsque la montre n'est pas portée ou en position de repos.The invention relates to a watch movement comprising a power reserve extension device, so as to limit the energy consumption of the movement when the watch is not worn or in the rest position.

Arrière-plan de l'inventionBackground of the invention

Habituellement, dans les montres mécaniques, la source d'énergie pour entraîner le rouage et les aiguilles, et d'autres fonctions, est un ressort spiral enroulé dans un barillet.Usually, in mechanical watches, the energy source for driving the wheels and needles, and other functions, is a spiral spring wound in a barrel.

Lorsqu'une montre mécanique n'est pas remontée régulièrement, ou qu'une montre à remontage automatique n'est pas portée pendant plusieurs heures, le ressort de montre se détend complètement, et la montre s'arrête. La réserve de marche moyenne d'une montre normale dont le ressort est complètement remonté est d'environ 40 à 60 heures.When a mechanical watch is not reassembled regularly, or a self-winding watch is not worn for several hours, the watch spring relaxes completely, and the watch stops. The average power reserve of a normal watch whose spring is fully wound up is about 40 to 60 hours.

Il existe plusieurs causes pour expliquer le déchargement d'énergie d'une montre jusqu'à ce qu'elle s'arrête, notamment ne pas porter la montre durant une certaine période (coffre, week-end, etc ...) ou encore oublier de remonter la montre dans le cas où elle ne possède pas de remontage automatique. Il est donc utile de disposer d'une montre présentant une réserve de marche supérieure à la moyenne.There are several causes to explain the unloading of a watch until it stops, including not wearing the watch for a certain period (chest, weekend, etc ...) or forget to reassemble the watch in case it does not have automatic winding. It is therefore useful to have a watch with a power reserve above average.

Dans le passé, on a déjà cherché à remédier au problème de la réserve de marche. Par exemple, la demande de brevet européen EP 2 455 820 propose l'utilisation d'un organe moteur comportant un barillet dans lequel sont montés deux ressorts superposés et coaxiaux.In the past, we have already tried to remedy the problem of the power reserve. For example, the request for European Patent EP 2,455,820 proposes the use of a drive member comprising a barrel in which are mounted two superposed and coaxial springs.

Ce document n'est qu'un exemple pour les montres avec deux barillets ou deux ressorts car il y existe de nombreuses publications similaires.This document is only an example for watches with two barrels or two springs because there are many similar publications.

De telles propositions pour résoudre le problème de l'augmentation de marche sont peu intéressantes car la réserve de marche est privilégiée au dépend de l'espace disponible.Such proposals to solve the problem of the increase of market are not very interesting because the power reserve is privileged at the expense of the space available.

Résumé de l'inventionSummary of the invention

L'invention a notamment pour objectif de pallier les différents inconvénients de ces techniques connues.The invention particularly aims to overcome the various disadvantages of these known techniques.

Plus précisément, un objectif de l'invention est de fournir un mouvement pour pièce d'horlogerie permettant d'obtenir une meilleure réserve de marche en limitant la consommation en énergie du mouvement lorsqu'elle n'est pas portée ou en position de repos.More specifically, an object of the invention is to provide a movement for a timepiece to obtain a better power reserve by limiting the energy consumption of the movement when not worn or in the rest position.

Selon l'invention, le mouvement horloger comprend des moyens pour arrêter et libérer la marche d'un des deux organes réglants, et en ce que ledit engrenage différentiel porte les moyens d'affichages de l'heure pour afficher l'heure quel que soit l'organe réglant en marche.According to the invention, the clock movement comprises means for stopping and releasing the operation of one of the two regulating members, and in that said differential gear carries the means of displaying the time to display the time whatever is the regulating organ in operation.

Ainsi, l'objet de la présente invention, par ses différents aspects fonctionnels et structurels décrits ci-dessus, permet d'obtenir un mouvement avec une réserve de marche augmentée.Thus, the object of the present invention, by its various functional and structural aspects described above, makes it possible to obtain a movement with an increased power reserve.

De plus, le mouvement horloger comprend des moyens pour arrêter et libérer la marche d'un des deux organes réglants, et l'engrenage différentiel porte les moyens d'affichages de l'heure pour afficher l'heure quel que soit l'organe réglant en marche.In addition, the watch movement comprises means for stopping and releasing the operation of one of the two regulating members, and the differential gear carries the means for displaying the time to display the time regardless of the regulating organ. working.

Les organes réglants peuvent être choisis parmi un balancier classique, un carrousel, un tourbillon, un résonateur (de type diapason ou à rotor magnétique par exemple), un balancier moteur ou encore un oscillateur à quartz.The regulating members may be chosen from a conventional balance wheel, a carousel, a tourbillon, a resonator (of the tuning fork or magnetic rotor type for example), an engine balance or a quartz oscillator.

Dans ce qui suit, et par souci de clarté, il est décrit un mouvement selon l'invention comprend au moins deux organes réglants munis chacun d'un échappement, et ce à titre de simple exemple illustratif et non limitatif. Comme décrit précédemment, tout type d'organe réglant peut être utilisé et une association tourbillon/oscillateur quartz est par exemple envisageable.In what follows, and for the sake of clarity, it is described a movement according to the invention comprises at least two regulating members each provided with an exhaust, and this as a simple illustrative and non-limiting example. As described above, any type of regulating member may be used and a combination vortex / quartz oscillator is for example possible.

En référence à la figure 1, le mouvement d'horlogerie selon l'invention comprend notamment :

  • une première source d'énergie mécanique 1, et une deuxième source d'énergie mécanique 5, telles que des barillets par exemple ;
  • un premier organe réglant 2, de préférence ayant une grande précision, et un premier échappement, comprenant une première roue d'échappement 21 et une première ancre 22, reliés par un premier rouage 10 à la source d'énergie 1, le premier échappement, le barillet 1, le premier rouage 20 et le premier organe réglant 2 formant un premier ensemble,

With reference to the figure 1 , the watch movement according to the invention comprises in particular:
  • a first source of mechanical energy 1, and a second source of mechanical energy 5, such as barrels for example;
  • a first regulating member 2, preferably having a high accuracy, and a first escapement, comprising a first escape wheel 21 and a first anchor 22, connected by a first gear 10 to the energy source 1, the first escapement, the barrel 1, the first wheel 20 and the first regulating member 2 forming a first assembly,
  • a second regulating member 3, preferably at low consumption, and a second escapement comprising a second escape wheel 31 and a second anchor 32, connected by a second gear train 30 to the energy source 1, the second escapement and the second regulating member 3 forming a second assembly,
  • a differential gear 4 arranged to ensure a kinematic connection between the first set and the second set, the differential gear 4 being connected to the first regulating member 2 and the second regulating member 3 respectively by the first and second gear trains 20 and 30.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures, les organes réglants 2 et 3 sont respectivement un tourbillon et un balancier spiral simple, mais l'homme du métier pourrait bien évidemment utiliser deux balanciers spiraux simples, deux tourbillons, deux carrousels, ou encore un de chaque. De même, les premier et deuxième échappements représentés sont à ancre suisse mais ils pourraient être d'un autre type, tel que des échappements à détente ou d'autres types d'échappement connus.In the embodiment shown in the figures, the regulating members 2 and 3 are respectively a vortex and a simple spiral balance, but the person skilled in the art could of course use two simple spirals, two vortices, two carousels, or one of each. Similarly, the first and second exhausts shown are Swiss-anchored but they could be of another type, such as escapements or relaxation other known exhaust types.

Selon une autre variante de l'invention, non représentée sur les figures, les organes réglants 2 et 3 peuvent être un balancier spiral classique associé à un oscillateur à quartz, ou un carrousel associé à un résonateur, ou encore un tourbillon associé à un oscillateur quartz, ou tout autre combinaison imaginable par l'homme du métier de deux des organes réglants cités.According to another variant of the invention, not shown in the figures, the regulating members 2 and 3 may be a conventional balance spring associated with a quartz oscillator, or a carousel associated with a resonator, or a vortex associated with a quartz oscillator, or any other combination imaginable by those skilled in the art of two of the aforementioned regulating devices.

Ainsi, dans le mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures, le premier organe réglant 2 utilisé est un tourbillon, et le deuxième organe réglant 3 est un balancier simple à basse consommation tel qu'un balancier 1 Hz.Thus, in the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the first regulating member 2 used is a vortex, and the second regulating member 3 is a simple low-consumption balance such as a 1 Hz balance.

Comme on peut l'observer aux figures 6a et 6b, l'engrenage différentiel 4 comprend un arbre 40 portant les moyens d'affichage de l'heure 6 à une première extrémité de l'arbre 40 et comprend un porte satellite 42 à proximité de l'autre extrémité de l'arbre 40. Avantageusement, le porte satellite 42 est solidaire de l'arbre 40.As can be seen in Figures 6a and 6b , the differential gear 4 comprises a shaft 40 carrying the time display means 6 at a first end of the shaft 40 and comprises a satellite gate 42 near the other end of the shaft 40. Advantageously the satellite gate 42 is integral with the shaft 40.

Il est bien évident que le mouvement peut comprendre plusieurs mobiles entre l'engrenage différentiel 18 et la source d'énergie 1.It is obvious that the movement can comprise several motives between the differential gear 18 and the energy source 1.

Le porte satellite 42 comprend un arbre porte satellite 44 parallèle à l'arbre 40, et sur lequel sont montés pivotant deux pignons-satellites. Dans le mode de réalisation illustré, un premier pignon-satellite, dit pignon-satellite inférieur 45, et un deuxième pignon-satellite, dit pignon-satellite supérieur 46, sont prévus solidaires et montés coaxialement sur l'arbre porte satellite 44.The satellite gate 42 comprises a satellite gate shaft 44 parallel to the shaft 40, and on which are pivotally mounted two planet gears. In the illustrated embodiment, a first sun gear-satellite, said lower sun gear 45, and a second sun gear, said upper sun gear 46, are provided integral and coaxially mounted on the satellite shaft 44.

On pourrait également disposer plusieurs pignons-satellites (ou plusieurs satellites double), par exemple deux ou trois, de façon à assurer une meilleure répartition des efforts.One could also have several gears-satellites (or several double satellites), for example two or three, so as to ensure a better distribution of efforts.

L'engrenage différentiel 4 comprend également une première roue de d'entrée 48 présentant une denture extérieure et une denture intérieure, et une deuxième roue d'entrée 49 présentant une denture extérieure, chacune étant respectivement montée libre en rotation autour de l'arbre 40.The differential gear 4 also comprises a first input wheel 48 having an external toothing and an internal toothing, and a second input wheel 49 having an external toothing, each being respectively rotatably mounted around the shaft 40 .

La première roue d'entrée 48 est montée sur un plateau 43 monté libre en rotation autour de l'arbre 40, sous le porte satellite 42, au moyen d'un canon par exemple. Le plateau 43 et la première roue d'entrée 48 présentent un diamètre supérieur à celui du porte satellite 42, de manière que la denture intérieure de la première roue d'entrée 48 soit engrenée avec la denture du satellite 45 lorsque la denture extérieure de la roue d'entrée 48 est engrenée avec le premier rouage 20.The first input wheel 48 is mounted on a plate 43 rotatably mounted around the shaft 40, under the satellite holder 42, by means of a barrel for example. The plate 43 and the first input wheel 48 present a diameter greater than that of the satellite carrier 42, so that the internal toothing of the first input wheel 48 is meshed with the toothing of the satellite 45 when the external toothing of the input wheel 48 is in mesh with the first gear 20 .

L'engrenage différentiel 4 comprend également une roue de transmission 47 montée autour de l'arbre 40, sous la deuxième roue d'entrée 49 et solidaire de cette dernière, la roue de transmission 47 présentant une denture extérieure destinées à être engrenée par la denture du pignon-satellite supérieure 46 lorsque la deuxième roue d'entrée 49 est engrenée par le deuxième rouage 30.The differential gear 4 also comprises a transmission wheel 47 mounted around the shaft 40, under the second input wheel 49 and integral with the latter, the transmission wheel 47 having an external toothing intended to be geared by the toothing of the upper gear-satellite 46 when the second input wheel 49 is meshing with the second gear train 30.

Cet engrenage différentiel 4 est décrit à titre illustratif et non limitatif, et un homme du métier saurait bien évidemment mettre en place tout autre type d'engrenage différentiel pour parvenir à la bonne marche du mouvement horloger.This differential gear 4 is described by way of illustration and not limitation, and a person skilled in the art would obviously be able to set up any other type of differential gearing to achieve the smooth running of the watch movement.

La distribution d'énergie au premier organe réglant 2 est représentée aux figures 2a et 2b. L'énergie du barillet 1, ou la force motrice, est transmise au premier rouage 20, et arrive au premier organe régulateur 2 via l'échappement 21.The energy distribution to the first regulating member 2 is shown in FIGS. Figures 2a and 2b . The energy of the barrel 1, or the driving force, is transmitted to the first gear 20, and reaches the first regulator 2 via the escapement 21.

De même, la distribution d'énergie au deuxième organe réglant 3 est représentée aux figures 4a et 4b. L'énergie du barillet 5 est transmise est transmise au deuxième rouage 30, et arrive au deuxième organe régulateur 3 via l'échappement 31.Similarly, the energy distribution to the second regulating member 3 is shown in FIGS. Figures 4a and 4b . The energy of the cylinder 5 is transmitted is transmitted to the second wheel 30, and arrives at the second regulator member 3 via the exhaust 31.

Les figures 3a, 3b et 5a, 5b illustrent respectivement la liaison cinématique entre le premier organe réglant 2 et le différentiel 4, et la liaison cinématique entre deuxième organe 3 réglant et le différentiel 4 pour pouvoir afficher l'heure courante.The Figures 3a, 3b and 5a, 5b respectively illustrate the kinematic connection between the first regulating member 2 and the differential 4, and the kinematic link between the second regulating member 3 and the differential 4 to be able to display the current time.

Selon l'invention, le mouvement horloger comprend également des moyens pour arrêter et libérer la marche d'un des organes réglants, de préférence celui consommant le plus d'énergie, lorsque l'utilisateur ne porte pas la montre. Dans le cas illustré sur les figures, c'est le tourbillon qui est arrêté lorsque la montre n'est pas portée.According to the invention, the watch movement also comprises means for stopping and releasing the operation of one of the regulating members, preferably the one consuming the most energy, when the user is wearing not the watch. In the case illustrated in the figures, the tourbillon is stopped when the watch is not worn.

De tels moyens pour arrêter et libérer la marche d'un des organes réglants sont illustrés aux figures 7a à 7c et sont agencés pour coopérer avec une masse oscillante et un poussoir par exemple.Such means for stopping and releasing the operation of one of the regulating members are illustrated in FIGS. Figures 7a to 7c and are arranged to cooperate with an oscillating mass and a pusher for example.

L'arrêt du premier rouage 20, et donc du tourbillon dans le cas de figure illustré, est réalisé au moyen d'une commande manuelle, telle qu'un poussoir 9 pour bloquer le premier rouage 20 et libérer le deuxième rouage 30 relié au balancier spiral classique qui est à l'arrêt lorsque la montre est portée.The stopping of the first gear 20, and therefore the vortex in the illustrated case, is achieved by means of a manual control, such as a pusher 9 to block the first gear 20 and release the second gear 30 connected to the balance Classic spiral that is stationary when the watch is worn.

Pour arrêter le tourbillon 2 et lancer le balancier spiral classique 3, il suffit que l'utilisateur appuie sur le poussoir 9 ou pose la montre dans sa position de repos, à savoir sur la tranche de la carrure de manière que le poussoir 9 repose contre un support pour que le poussoir s'enfonce sous le poids de la montre et bloque l'organe réglant consommant le plus d'énergie, ici le tourbillon 2.To stop the vortex 2 and launch the conventional balance spring 3, it is sufficient that the user presses the pusher 9 or places the watch in its rest position, namely on the edge of the middle part so that the pusher 9 rests against a support for the pusher sinks under the weight of the watch and blocks the regulating member consuming the most energy, here the vortex 2.

Plus précisément, les moyens pour arrêter et libérer la marche d'un des organes réglants comprennent une première bascule 74 commandée par le poussoir 9, la première bascule 74 agissant sur une deuxième bascule 70 munie de deux organes de friction 71, 72 chacun étant lié à cette deuxième bascule au moyen d'une lame ressort 710, 720 de manière à limiter les contraintes mécaniques lorsque l'un des organes de friction 71, 72 vient en prise avec le premier rouage 20 ou le deuxième rouage 30. La deuxième bascule 70 est montée mobile en rotation sur un pont (non visible sur les figures) et est contrainte par un ressort hélicoïdal dans la position de blocage du deuxième rouage 30.More specifically, the means for stopping and releasing the operation of one of the regulating members comprise a first flip-flop 74 controlled by the pusher 9, the first flip-flop 74 acting on a second flip-flop 70 provided with two friction members 71, 72 each being connected. to this second rocker by means of a spring blade 710, 720 so as to limit the mechanical stresses when one of the friction members 71, 72 engages the first gear 20 or the second gear 30. The second latch 70 is rotatably mounted on a bridge (not visible in the figures) and is constrained by a helical spring in the locking position of the second gear train 30.

Les moyens pour arrêter et libérer la marche d'un des organes réglants comprennent aussi une troisième bascule 73, montée mobile en rotation sur le même pont (non visible sur les figures) et qui est aussi contrainte par un ressort hélicoïdal. Cette troisième bascule 73 comprend d'une part, une échancrure 730 agencée pour coopérer avec un bec 700 de la deuxième bascule 70 lorsque le poussoir 9 est pressé, et d'autre part, un bec 731 agencé pour coopérer avec la masse oscillante 8 via un ergot 80 solidaire de la masse oscillante lors de la rotation de cette dernière.The means for stopping and releasing the operation of one of the regulating members also comprise a third flip-flop 73 mounted rotatably on the same bridge (not visible in the figures) and which is also constrained by a helical spring. This third flip-flop 73 comprises on the one hand, a notch 730 arranged to cooperate with a spout 700 of the second latch 70 when the pusher 9 is pressed, and secondly, a spout 731 arranged to cooperate with the oscillating mass 8 via a lug 80 integral with the oscillating mass during the rotation of the latter.

Ainsi, après avoir appuyé sur le poussoir 9, la première bascule 74 agit sur la deuxième bascule 70 pour la faire pivoter de manière que l'organe de friction 71 vient en prise avec le premier rouage 20 et l'organe de friction 72 libère le deuxième rouage 30, le bec 700 venant alors se loger dans l'échancrure 730 de la troisième bascule 73 et bloquant la position de la deuxième bascule.Thus, after pressing the pusher 9, the first rocker 74 acts on the second latch 70 to rotate it so that the friction member 71 engages with the first gear 20 and the friction member 72 releases the second gear 30, the spout 700 then being housed in the notch 730 of the third flip-flop 73 and blocking the position of the second flip-flop.

Pour libérer le bec 700 de l'échancrure 730, et donc libérer le tourbillon 2 et bloquer le balancier spiral 3, il suffit d'une rotation de la masse oscillante pour que l'ergot 80 vienne frapper le bec 731 de la troisième bascule 73, ce qui a pour effet de déloger le bec 700 de la deuxième bascule 70 de l'échancrure de la deuxième bascule 73 et donc de libérer le premier rouage 20 et bloquer le deuxième rouage 30 simultanément.To release the spout 700 of the notch 730, and thus release the vortex 2 and block the balance spring 3, it is sufficient to rotate the oscillating mass so that the pin 80 comes to hit the spout 731 of the third rocker 73 , which has the effect of dislodging the spout 700 of the second latch 70 of the notch of the second flip-flop 73 and thus to release the first gear 20 and block the second gear 30 simultaneously.

Avantageusement, la masse oscillante peut tourner dans les deux sens.Advantageously, the oscillating mass can rotate in both directions.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, on peut prévoir d'incliner l'organe réglant à basse consommation, ici un balancier spiral simple comme illustré sur les figures, de 30° par exemple, de manière à optimiser son fonctionnement et limiter les erreurs lorsque le mouvement/la montre est en position de repos.According to a particular embodiment of the invention, it is possible to incline the low-power regulating member, here a simple balance spring as illustrated in the figures, for example, so as to optimize its operation and limit errors when the movement / watch is in the rest position.

Comme mentionné plus haut le mécanisme permet d'arrêter et d'actionner toutes les autres sortes d'échappements, par exemple un échappement à ancre suisse standard et un balancier standard de façon automatique lorsque l'utilisateur ne porte pas la montre ou bien à la demande de l'utilisateur de manière à économiser de l'énergie.As mentioned above, the mechanism makes it possible to stop and actuate all other kinds of escapements, for example a standard Swiss lever escapement and a standard balance wheel automatically when the user does not wear the watch or else at the user request in order to save energy.

Lorsque le premier organe réglant 2 est alimenté en énergie par le barillet 1, le premier rouage 20 transmet son énergie et son mouvement de rotation à l'engrenage différentiel 4 via la roue d'entrée 48. Le mouvement de rotation est ensuite transmis au pignon-satellite 45 via la denture interne de la roue d'entrée 48, le pignon-satellite 45 entrainant alors le porte pignon 42 et l'arbre 40 en rotation.When the first regulating member 2 is supplied with energy by the barrel 1, the first gear 20 transmits its energy and its rotational movement to the differential gear 4 via the input wheel 48. The rotational movement is then transmitted to the pinion -satellite 45 via the internal toothing of the input wheel 48, the pinion-satellite 45 then driving the pinion carrier 42 and the shaft 40 in rotation.

Enfin, l'arbre 40 entraine en rotation les moyens d'affichage de l'heure courante 6, à savoir un tube 60 monté fixe sur l'arbre 40, le tube 60 pouvant supporter une aiguille pour indiquer les minutes. Les moyens d'affichage de l'heure courante 6 comprennent également un deuxième tube 61 monté mobile en rotation sur le premier tube 60, et engrené par train d'engrenage 62,63 de manière à indiquer les heures.Finally, the shaft 40 rotates the display means of the current time 6, namely a tube 60 fixedly mounted on the shaft 40, the tube 60 being able to support a needle to indicate the minutes. The means for displaying the current time 6 also comprise a second tube 61 rotatably mounted on the first tube 60, and geared by a gear train 62, 63 so as to indicate the hours.

Grâce à ces différents aspects de l'invention, on dispose d'un mouvement de conception simple permettant de prolonger la réserve de marche du mouvement.With these different aspects of the invention, there is a simple design movement to extend the power reserve of the movement.

Bien entendu, la présente invention ne se limite pas à l'exemple illustré mais est susceptible de diverses variantes et modifications qui apparaîtront à l'homme de l'art.Of course, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example but is susceptible of various variations and modifications that will occur to those skilled in the art.
