Description
La présente invention se rapporte au domaine de l'horlogerie. Elle concerne, plus particulièrement, un mécanisme de quantième comprenant :
- une roue de quantième destinée à fournir une information relative au quantième,
- une roue de commande destinée à être entraînée par un mouvement horloger et à entraîner la roue de quantième d'au moins un pas par jour.
- a date wheel intended to provide information relating to the date,
- a control wheel intended to be driven by a watch movement and to drive the date wheel at least one step per day.
L'invention concerne également une pièce d'horlogerie comportant un tel mécanisme de quantième.The invention also relates to a timepiece comprising such a date mechanism.
Les mécanismes de quantième sont parmi les complications horlogères les plus appréciées, car elles fournissent une information particulièrement utile. Cependant, dans le domaine particulier des montres mécaniques, le quantième doit généralement être réglé lorsqu'un utilisateur met sa montre après une certaine période pendant laquelle elle n'a pas été remontée. Certaines constructions permettent d'effectuer une correction rapide, en agissant directement sur le quantième sans agir sur le système d'indication des heures. Cependant, il n'est pas toujours possible ni souhaitable d'avoir un tel système de correction rapide, car selon les cas, il existe un risque de désynchroniser plusieurs affichages.Date mechanisms are among the most popular horological complications because they provide particularly useful information. However, in the particular field of mechanical watches, the date must generally be set when a user puts his watch after a certain period during which it has not been reassembled. Certain constructions make it possible to carry out a rapid correction, by acting directly on the date without acting on the system of indication of the hours. However, it is not always possible or desirable to have such a rapid correction system, because depending on the case, there is a risk of desynchronizing several displays.
Aussi, lorsque le quantième est réglé par l'intermédiaire de la roue des heures, c'est-à-dire que l'aiguille des heures doit effectuer deux tours pour changer le quantième d'une unité, il est particulièrement appréciable de pouvoir effectuer la correction dans les deux sens, afin de limiter le nombre de tours à effectuer.Also, when the date is set via the hour wheel, that is to say that the hour hand must perform two laps to change the date of a unit, it is particularly valuable to be able to perform correction in both directions, in order to limit the number of laps to be performed.
Or, parmi les mécanismes de quantième, notamment les quantièmes annuels qui permettent de tenir compte de la durée des mois de 31 ou 30 jours, ou les quantièmes perpétuels, qui tiennent compte en outre de la durée des mois de février de 28 ou 29 jours, rares sont les systèmes qui permettent une correction dans les deux sens.However, among the date mechanisms, in particular the annual calendars which allow to take into account the duration of the months of 31 or 30 days, or the perpetual calendars, which take into account also the duration of the months of February 28 or 29 days, rare are the systems that allow a correction in both directions.
La présente invention a pour but de proposer un nouveau mécanisme de quantième, compact et fiable, permettant une correction bidirectionnelle et applicable à un quantième annuel, un quantième bissextile ou à un quantième perpétuel.The present invention aims to propose a new date mechanism, compact and reliable, allowing bidirectional correction and applicable to an annual calendar, a leap date or a perpetual calendar.
De façon plus précise, l'invention concerne un mécanisme de quantième tel que proposé dans les revendications, ainsi qu'une pièce d'horlogerie comprenant un tel mécanisme de quantième.More specifically, the invention relates to a date mechanism as proposed in the claims, as well as a timepiece comprising such a date mechanism.

On a représenté sur la
Le mécanisme comprend notamment une roue de quantième 10 destinée à fournir une information relative au quantième. Cette roue de quantième 10 peut porter des indications ou un disque avec les 31 nombres du quantième ou porter une aiguille destinée à se déplacer en regard d'une graduation. La roue de quantième 10 comporte typiquement 31 dents et est destinée à être entraînée à raison de un pas par jour, aux environs de minuit, sauf pour le dernier jour d'un mois de moins de 31 jours où, comme on le détaillera ci-après, elle est destinée à être entraînée d'au moins un pas supplémentaire.The mechanism comprises in particular a
La roue de quantième 10 est destinée à être entraînée par une roue de commande 12, qui elle est entraînée par le mouvement horloger.The
La roue de commande 12 comprend tout d'abord un organe de prise de force, en la forme d'une étoile 12.0 destinée, dans l'exemple illustré, à être poussée d'un pas par jour par une roue de 24h du mouvement, non représentée. D'autres types d'entraînement sont également possibles, par exemple par une bascule.The
L'étoile 12.0 est montée coaxiale et solidaire en rotation avec un premier niveau d'entraînement 12.2 pour entraîner la roue de quantième 10 d'un pas à la fin de chaque jour. Le premier niveau d'entraînement 12.2 prend également la forme d'une étoile. De préférence, les étoiles comportent le même nombre de branches et elles sont superposées l'une à l'autre, afin de favoriser la synchronisation de l'entraînement de la roue de quantième 10 avec l'heure du mouvement. En l'espèce, les étoiles présentent 7 branches chacune.The star 12.0 is mounted coaxially and rotatably with a first driving level 12.2 to drive the
Pour permettre de réduire les épaisseurs du mécanisme tout en contrôlant les interactions de l'étoile 12.0 et de celle du premier niveau d'entraînement 12.2, avec les différents éléments du mécanisme, l'étoile 12.0 présente des branches plus courtes que celles de l'étoile 12.2, afin qu'elle n'ait pas d'interaction avec la roue de quantième 10, même si elle est située dans le même plan que la denture de la roue de quantième 10.To reduce the thickness of the mechanism while controlling the interactions of the star 12.0 and that of the first training level 12.2, with the various elements of the mechanism, the star 12.0 has branches shorter than those of the star 12.2, so that it does not interact with the
La roue de commande 12 comporte également un deuxième niveau d'entraînement 12.4 pour entraîner la roue de quantième 10 d'un pas supplémentaire à la fin du dernier jour d'un mois de 30 jours, ainsi qu'un troisième niveau d'entraînement 12.6 pour entraîner la roue de quantième 10 de trois pas supplémentaires à la fin du dernier jour du mois de février, typiquement lorsqu'il dure 28 jours.The
Plus particulièrement, le troisième niveau 12.6 présente des zones d'actionnement 12.62 situées sur des branches, qui présentent une forme similaire à une branche de croix de Malte. Le deuxième niveau 12.4 présente des zones d'actionnement 12.42 intercalées entre les branches du deuxième niveau 12.4, avantageusement en forme de U, s'ouvrant sur l'extérieur, c'est-à-dire en direction de la roue de quantième 10. Pour ces deux niveaux 12.4, 12.6, les zones d'actionnement sont symétriques par rapport à un rayon de la roue de commande 12, permettant un fonctionnement dans les deux sens de rotation, comme on le comprendra ci-après.More particularly, the third level 12.6 has actuation zones 12.62 located on branches, which have a shape similar to a Maltese cross branch. The second level 12.4 has actuating zones 12.42 interposed between the branches of the second level 12.4, advantageously U-shaped, opening on the outside, that is to say in the direction of the
Pour chaque niveau 12.4, 12.6, on a 7 zones d'actionnement, respectivement 12.42 et 12.62. Les rayons formant les axes de symétrie des zones d'actionnement 12.42 du deuxième niveau 12.4 sont superposés aux branches des étoiles 12.0 et 12.2, tandis que les rayons formant les axes de symétrie des zones d'actionnement 12.62 du troisième niveau 12.6 sont superposés aux bissectrices des angles formés par les rayons de deux branches d'étoiles 12.0, 12.2 juxtaposées.For each level 12.4, 12.6, there are 7 operating zones, respectively 12.42 and 12.62. The spokes forming the axes of symmetry of the operating zones 12.42 of the second level 12.4 are superimposed on the branches of the stars 12.0 and 12.2, while the spokes forming the axes of symmetry of the operating zones 12.62 of the third level 12.6 are superimposed on the bisectors angles formed by the rays of two branches of stars 12.0, 12.2 juxtaposed.
Comme on peut le voir particulièrement sur les
La roue de commande 12 comporte ainsi trois niveaux d'entraînement 12.2, 12.4, 12.6 distincts, aptes à coopérer avec la roue de quantième 10, à des moments déterminés, comme il apparaîtra plus loin.The

La came annuelle 10.1 est agencée de manière satellitaire sur la roue de quantième 10. Elle est solidaire d'une planche d'entraînement 10.3, destinée à être entraînée en coopérant avec un doigt fixe 14, situé au centre de la roue de quantième 10, et autour duquel pivote la roue de quantième 10. La planche d'entraînement 10.3 comporte typiquement 12 dents et avance d'un pas à chaque tour effectué par la roue de quantième 10, c'est-à-dire chaque mois.The annual cam 10.1 is arranged in a satellite manner on the
Comme on peut le voir particulièrement sur les
Ainsi, les mois de 31 jours correspondent à des portions de la came 10.1 présentant les plus grands rayons, les mois de 30 jours correspondent à des portions de la came 10.1 présentant des rayons relativement plus petits, et la portion correspondant au mois de février présente le plus petit rayon, formant une échancrure dans la came 10.1.Thus, the 31-day months correspond to portions of the cam 10.1 having the largest radii, the 30-day months correspond to portions of the cam 10.1 having relatively smaller radii, and the portion corresponding to the month of February has the smallest radius, forming a notch in the cam 10.1.
Le palpeur 10.2 est maintenu au contact du profil de la came 10.1. Pour permettre de faire pivoter la came 10.1 dans les deux sens et d'avoir ainsi un entraînement bidirectionnel du quantième, notamment dans le cas de correction, les variations de rayons de la came sont progressives. De même, le profil du doigt fixe 14 et celui des dentures de la planche d'entraînement 10.3, sont agencés de manière à permettre une rotation de la planche dans les deux sens de rotation, selon si la roue de quantième tourne dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre (en référence à la
Le palpeur 10.2 est porté par une bascule 11 portant par ailleurs une crémaillère 10.4, en prise avec un pignon 10.5 solidaire d'un râteau intermédiaire 10.6, lequel est en prise avec un deuxième pignon 10.7, solidaire du mobile de saut de fin de mois 10.0. Tous les éléments de la liaison cinématique entre le palpeur 10.2 et le mobile de saut de fin de mois 10.0 sont montés sur la roue de quantième 10. Cependant, le détail de cette liaison cinématique n'est donné qu'à titre d'exemple non limitatif.The probe 10.2 is carried by a
On notera que la roue de quantième 10 porte en outre un ressort 13 (visible sur les
Dans un mode de réalisation de type quantième bissextile, c'est-à-dire tenant compte des mois de 30 jours et de 28 jours, mais pas de 29 jours, le mobile de saut de fin de mois 10.0 comprend deux bras 10.01 et 10.02, de longueurs différentes. Un premier bras 10.01, long, est agencé pour coopérer avec le deuxième niveau 12.4 de la roue de commande 12 à la fin des mois de 30 jours, pour faire faire à la roue de quantième 10 un pas supplémentaire (
Ainsi, en fonction du rayon de la portion de la came 10.1 avec laquelle coopère le palpeur 10.2, le mobile de saut de fin de mois 10.0 présente dans la course de la roue de commande 12 :
- aucun bras, pour les mois de 31 jours, avec comme conséquence que la roue de quantième 10, au soir du dernier jour du mois, est entraînée d'un seul pas par le premier niveau 12.2 de la roue de commande 12,
- le bras long, pour les mois de 30 jours, avec comme conséquence que la roue de quantième 10, au soir du dernier jour du mois, est entraînée d'un pas par le premier niveau 12.2 de la roue de commande 12, et d'un pas supplémentaire par le deuxième niveau 12.4 de la roue de commande 12, ou
- le bras court, pour les mois de février, avec comme conséquence que la roue de quantième 10, au soir du dernier jour du mois, est entraînée d'un pas par le premier niveau 12.2 de la roue de commande 12, et de trois pas supplémentaires par le troisième niveau 12.6 de la roue de commande 12.
- no arms, for the months of 31 days, with the consequence that the
date wheel 10, in the evening of the last day of the month, is driven by a single step by the first level 12.2 of thecontrol wheel 12, - the long arm, for the months of 30 days, with the consequence that the
date wheel 10, in the evening of the last day of the month, is driven one step by the first level 12.2 of thecontrol wheel 12, and an additional step by the second level 12.4 of thecontrol wheel 12, or - the arm short, for the month of February, with the consequence that the
date wheel 10, the evening of the last day of the month, is driven one step by the first level 12.2 of thecontrol wheel 12, and three steps by the third level 12.6 of thecontrol wheel 12.
Avec cette construction, dans le cas d'année bissextile, il faudra gérer manuellement le réglage de la fin du mois de février.With this construction, in the case of a leap year, it will be necessary to manually manage the setting of the end of February.
Dans un mode de réalisation non représenté permettant d'obtenir un quantième annuel, c'est-à-dire ne tenant compte que des mois de 30 et 31 jours, le mobile de saut de fin de mois 10.0 ne comprend qu'un bras, correspondant au bras long 10.01 ci-dessus, et la roue de commande 12 ne comprend que les premier 12.2 et deuxième 12.4 niveaux d'entraînement.In a not shown embodiment for obtaining an annual calendar, that is to say, taking into account only the months of 30 and 31 days, the end-of-month jump mobile 10.0 comprises only one arm, corresponding to the long arm 10.01 above, and the
A la fin des mois de 31 jours, comme ci-dessus, le mobile de saut de fin de mois 10.0 ne présente aucun bras dans la course de la roue de commande 10.0, avec comme conséquence que la roue de quantième 10, au soir du dernier jour du mois, est entraînée d'un seul pas par le premier niveau 12.2 de la roue de commande 12.At the end of the 31-day period, as above, the end-of-month jump mobile 10.0 has no arms in the race of the control wheel 10.0, with the result that the
A la fin des mois de 30 jours, le bras long 10.01 est positionné dans la course de la roue de commande 12, avec comme conséquence que la roue de quantième 10, au soir du dernier jour du mois, est entraînée d'un pas par le premier niveau 12.2 de la roue de commande 12, et d'un pas supplémentaire par le deuxième niveau 12.4 de la roue de commande 12.At the end of the 30-day period, the long arm 10.01 is positioned in the travel of the
Le mois de février peut être traité comme un mois de 30 ou 31 jours, l'affichage du quantième à la fin des mois de février devant être géré manuellement.The month of February can be treated as a month of 30 or 31 days, the date display at the end of February to be managed manually.
Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, notamment illustré particulièrement à la
Pour ce faire, la came annuelle 10.1 est associée à une came bissextile 10.8 agencée pour faire un tour en 4 ans et positionner tous les 4ans, au niveau de l'encoche de février de la came, une portion de rayon plus grand.To do this, the annual cam 10.1 is associated with a leap cam 10.8 arranged to make a turn in 4 years and position every 4 years, at the February notch of the cam, a portion of larger radius.
Pour ce qui concerne les plans de partagement, le palpeur 10.2 est agencé pour coopérer avec la came annuelle 10.1 et la came bissextile 10.8, afin de coopérer avec celle-ci lorsqu'elle prend position dans l'encoche de février. On notera que sur les trois quarts de son périmètre, la came bissextile 10.8 présente un rayon inférieur à la portion de février de la came annuelle 10.1, afin que le palpeur 10.2 ne coopère, les mois de février des années non bissextiles, qu'avec la came annuelle 10.1.With regard to the partitioning planes, the probe 10.2 is arranged to cooperate with the annual cam 10.1 and the leap cam 10.8, in order to cooperate with it when it takes position in the notch of February. It will be noted that on three quarters of its perimeter, the leap-on cam 10.8 has a radius smaller than the February portion of the annual cam 10.1, so that the probe 10.2 cooperates, in February, of the non-leap years, only with the annual cam 10.1.
Pour piloter la came bissextile 10.8, la came annuelle 10.1 est solidaire d'un pignon 10.9, en prise avec un premier étage d'un mobile de renvoi 10.10, qui comporte un deuxième étage également en prise avec une planche d'entraînement bissextile 10.11, solidaire de la came bissextile 10.8, les rapports d'engrenage étant déterminés pour que la came bissextile 10.8 effectue un tour en 4ans.In order to control the leap cam 10.8, the annual cam 10.1 is secured to a pinion 10.9, in engagement with a first stage of a deflection wheel 10.10, which comprises a second stage also engaged with a leap-board 10.11, integral with the leap cam 10.8, the gear ratios being determined so that the leap cam 10.8 performs one revolution in 4 years.
Dans ce mode de réalisation, le mobile de saut de fin de mois 10.0 comporte un troisième bras 10.03, de longueur intermédiaire entre le bras long 10.01 et le bras court 10.02, agencé pour être positionné dans la course de la roue de commande 12, particulièrement de son troisième niveau 12.6, lorsque le palpeur 10.2 est en appui sur la came bissextile 10.8. Typiquement, le troisième bras 10.03 est décalé angulairement par rapport au deuxième bras 10.02, en étant situé dans le même plan.In this embodiment, the end-of-month jumper 10.0 comprises a third arm 10.03, of intermediate length between the long arm 10.01 and the short arm 10.02, arranged to be positioned in the race of the
Ainsi, à la fin des mois de 29 jours, le bras intermédiaire 10.03 est positionné dans la course de la roue de commande 12, avec comme conséquence que la roue de quantième 10, au soir du dernier jour du mois, est entraînée d'un pas par le premier niveau 12.2 de la roue de commande 12, et de deux pas supplémentaires par le troisième niveau 12.6 de la roue de commande 12.Thus, at the end of the months of 29 days, the intermediate arm 10.03 is positioned in the race of the
Afin d'assurer une bonne transmission du couple entre le(s) bras du mobile de saut de fin de mois 10.0 et la roue de commande 12, le mécanisme de quantième peut encore comporter un système de verrouillage 10.12 du mobile de saut de fin de mois 10.0. Ce système de verrouillage 10.12 est agencé pour bloquer la rotation de ce mobile en référence à son axe, au moins lorsque ledit mobile de saut de fin de mois 10.0 coopère avec la roue de commande 12. Ainsi, on peut monter de manière très libre le mobile de saut de fin de mois 10.0, afin de consommer peu d'énergie pour positionner le mobile de saut de fin de mois 10.0.In order to ensure good torque transmission between the end of month jump mobile arm (s) 10.0 and the
De manière avantageuse, le système de verrouillage 10.12 comporte une bascule de verrouillage 10.13, positionnée par une came de verrouillage 16, montée fixe au centre de la roue de quantième 10 qui pivote en référence à elle. La bascule de verrouillage 10.13 comprend un palpeur 10.15 maintenu au contact de la came de verrouillage 16, et un ergot 10.14 apte à coopérer avec le mobile de saut de fin de mois 10.0 pour bloquer sa rotation.Advantageously, the locking system 10.12 comprises a latching lever 10.13, positioned by a locking
Ainsi, lors des fins de mois, typiquement à partir du 26, lorsque le mobile de saut de fin de mois 10.0 est positionné, l'ergot 10.14 de la bascule de verrouillage 10.13 tombe dans la denture du mobile de saut de fin de mois 10.0, bloquant ainsi sa rotation sur son axe, permettant une transmission de l'énergie entre la roue de commande 12 et la roue de quantième 10.Thus, at the end of the month, typically from the 26th, when the month-end jump mobile 10.0 is set, the pin 10.14 of the latch 10.13 falls in the toothing of the end-of-month jump mobile 10.0. , thus blocking its rotation on its axis, allowing transmission of energy between the
L'invention concerne également une pièce d'horlogerie comprenant un mécanisme de quantième tel que décrit ci-dessus.The invention also relates to a timepiece comprising a date mechanism as described above.
Ainsi, grâce à la configuration des éléments menés et des éléments menants, ainsi que des cames et des palpeurs, le système de quantième selon l'invention permet de fonctionner en faisant tourner la roue de commande dans les deux sens, soit sous l'action du mouvement, soit sous l'action d'un correcteur relié cinématiquement à la roue de commande. Ce correcteur peut agir par l'intermédiaire de la roue des heures, ou être un correcteur rapide, agissant directement sur la roue de commande, typiquement l'étoile 12.0 par exemple.Thus, thanks to the configuration of the driven elements and the driving elements, as well as cams and feelers, the date system according to the invention makes it possible to operate by rotating the control wheel in both directions, either under the action of movement or under the action of a corrector kinematically connected to the control wheel. This corrector can act via the hour wheel, or be a fast corrector, acting directly on the control wheel, typically the star 12.0 for example.
Ainsi est proposé un mécanisme de quantième particulièrement fiable et compact, qui peut être actionné dans les deux sens par un système de correction. L'homme du métier peut directement l'adapter pour réaliser un quantième simple, un quantième bissextile ou un quantième annuel. L'exemple décrit ci-dessus, en référence aux figures, a été donné à titre d'illustration non limitative de l'invention, dont la portée est définie par les revendications.Thus is proposed a particularly reliable and compact date mechanism, which can be actuated in both directions by a correction system. The person skilled in the art can directly adapt it to make a simple calendar, a leap calendar or an annual calendar. The example described above, with reference to the figures, was given by way of non-limiting illustration of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims.
