Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for chronometric control of watch movement, said device comprising at least one receptacle arranged for maintaining, up to a given acceleration threshold, at least one movement or one. shows, and comprising maneuvering means arranged to maneuver each said receptacle in space, arranged to impose on each said receptacle a global cycle comprising at least one predefined cycle as to its trajectory and its evolution along this trajectory under the control control means comprising a clock or connected to an external time base, said cycle comprising the passage through standard chronometric control positions.
  • the invention relates to the field of chronometric controls for mobile timepieces, marine or on-board watches and chronometers.
  • a device is for example known from CH 699 301 A1 .
  • the chronometric control of a timepiece, in particular a watch, or of its movement, is essential to verify the quality of the product given to the user.
  • This control is governed by official certification standards, established by recognized laboratories or observatories, which are essential for the marketing of products.
  • a first type of measurement 0/24 hours, illustrated by the figure 1 , consists in carrying out measurements at a distance of 24 hours, the first series with the barrel fully loaded, the second series with a 24-hour disarming, each time in six standardized positions, with a measuring device, in particular acoustic, making it possible to measure a parameter "m", consisting of the rate or the amplitude.
  • the object to be checked (watch, or movement, or watch head), which will hereinafter be called “movement”, is placed on the measuring device.
  • a typical measurement consists in carrying out: in the first position 30 seconds of gait stabilization, 2 minutes of measurement, then change of position, and repetition of the measurement for the remaining positions. This measurement, lasting a few minutes in total, is carried out with the barrel fully loaded (“0h”) and after 24 hours of unarming (“24 hours”). The movement is left on the bench for 24 hours to wait for the barrel to unwind, or the barrel is manually unwound by a watchmaker with a number of revolutions equivalent to 24 hours of operation. The total duration of the measurement is rapid, since it is carried out in two times approximately twenty minutes. On the other hand, there is no information on the chronometry between the two measurements (instantaneous measurement).
  • one solution consists in carrying out a measurement over 24 hours for each position, with a winding of the barrel at each change of position, as visible on the figures 2 and 3 .
  • the movement is placed on a measuring device similar to that of the 0/24 hour measurement.
  • a typical measurement consists in performing: 30 seconds of rate stabilization, 24 hours of measurement, then change of position, winding of the barrel, and repetition of the measurement for the remaining positions.
  • the total duration of the measurement is important, and is 6 days.
  • the advantage of this 24-hour measurement is that it provides detailed information on the chronometry between “0 hours” and “24 hours”.
  • the disadvantage is of course the duration of the measurement, which generates a significant work in progress, also linked to a large size of the measurement file.
  • the figure 3 shows the superposition, reduced to a single theoretical cycle of 24 hours, of the six measurements carried out in six positions.
  • the Rolex document EP 3 136 189 A1 in the name of ROLEX describes a chronometric measurement method and more particularly on the positions in which the watch or watch head is positioned during the measurement.
  • the chronometer controls simulate the various positions of the watch during the day of a typical wearer.
  • the invention aims to define chronometric control criteria to precisely qualify the watches produced, and to set up suitable control tools and methods.
  • the invention relates to a device according to claim 1.
  • the invention further relates to a method according to claim 15.
  • the invention proposes to obtain more detailed chronometric information than with a 0/24 hour measurement, while performing, for each standardized position, a measurement spread over 24 hours, overlapping with the measurements made for the other positions, so as to drastically reduce the work in progress compared to a 24-hour measurement per position.
  • the device and the method for rapid measurement of a total duration of the order of 24 hours, according to the invention, allow a complete simulated characterization of the chronometry of the watch in several positions.
  • Movement is measured for a total of 24 hours or more by continuously repeating a measurement sequence.
  • the figures 4 and 5 illustrate examples of how to perform this measurement method.
  • a typical sequence according to the invention comprises: for a first position, 30 seconds of rate stabilization, approximately 40 minutes of measurement in the first position, then change of position and repetition of the rate stabilization and measurement operations, so as to cover standardized positions during an elementary interval of duration Ti, or more particularly six positions, in particular six standardized positions, in a non-limiting implementation of the invention illustrated by the figures. It will be understood that one can choose to perform these measurements on any number of positions, less than or equal to or greater than the six most usual standardized positions. This measurement sequence is repeated several times for a total duration of at least 24 hours.
  • the elementary interval of the sequence has a duration Ti equal to 4 hours, during which six measurements take place per position, each with a duration per position Tp of approximately 40 minutes.
  • the 24 hours of movement analysis are thus divided into six measurement sequences with a duration Ti of 4 hours each.
  • Each of these 4-hour measurement sequences consists of six times 40 minutes of measurement per position.
  • the overall duration of the measurement is thus limited to the reasonable value of 24 hours, which makes it possible to follow the influence of the progressive unwinding of the barrel, in six steps in the present case, and this for each of the standardized positions.
  • the invention therefore offers the advantage of providing complete information on all the positions between the instants 0 h and 24 h, for a measurement over 24 hours in total.
  • fractional measurements represented by small rectangles make it possible to reconstruct the shape of the complete signal, as it would be visible with a conventional 24-hour measurement per position
  • the method according to the invention allows good characterization of the chronometry of the measured part.
  • duration Tp of each measurement per position must not be too long, so that the first measurement 0h from the last position VD (F in the figures) is not too far from the initial instant of the measurement overall.
  • figure 4 is a special case where all the intervals of duration Ti are identical. However, this is not mandatory, and the figure 5 illustrates a variant with intervals of irregular duration.
  • the rate stabilization time becomes proportionally too long. It is therefore necessary that the measurement intervals are of a sufficiently long duration.
  • the measurement of the stabilization time of the rate during a change of position can advantageously constitute a new criterion of chronometry, which is added to the usual observation elements.
  • the measurement of the rate and / or of the amplitude during the change of position can also form a so-called “dynamic” measurement position. If necessary, the change of position can be extended and changed into a continuous movement of movement 2 or watch 3 during a certain time interval in order to constitute a sufficiently long measuring position.
  • the method described above does not provide information on the position of the hands. It is also advantageous to combine the implementation of the method according to the invention with a measurement of the daytime rate, with taking of the state of the watch at least at the start and end of the measurement, and advantageously with taking of state intermediaries.
  • This status recording can in particular be carried out by one of the optical methods described in the document EP 2 458 458 A1 on behalf of The Swatch Group Research & Development Ltd.
  • the limitation of the measurement to a total duration of 24 hours obeys production cost constraints, and it will be understood that the observation of a movement according to the principle of the invention may not be limited to a measurement. ranging from 0 hours to 24 hours, but over a longer period, which can reach the entire power reserve, the duration of which is then easy to determine.
  • the measurement also makes it possible, in an innovative way, to determine the power reserve of the watch, in combination with changes in position.
  • the time spent in each position can also be weighted, to simulate a typical wear.
  • This measurement makes it possible to precisely characterize the watch.
  • the measurement makes it possible to calculate and simulate daytime walking according to different types of wear, which makes it possible to certify a watch for a particular wear range.
  • the measurement is advantageously combined with changes in temperature, in order to define the coefficient C, or / and or to simulate a particular wear, for example 16 hours at 33C ° then 8 hours at 23C °.
