Description
La présente invention concerne de manière générale un dispositif d'arrêt pour un système oscillant d'un mouvement de montre, monté dans une montre, dans le domaine de l'horlogerie.The present invention relates generally to a stop device for an oscillating system of a watch movement, mounted in a watch, in the field of watchmaking.
Il est connu dans l'art antérieur des dispositifs d'arrêt de système oscillant, en particulier de balancier de montre. Le document
En contrepartie, ce système présente notamment l'inconvénient de ne pas permettre d'arrêter ou de freiner un balancier sans serge de balancier (c'est-à-dire n'ayant pas de contour radialement périphérique). De plus, le dispositif d'arrêt entraîne l'application d'efforts sur le contour radialement périphérique, ce qui est dommageable pour le balancier, un arbre de balancier ou le montage de l'ensemble balancier et arbre dans le mouvement, perturbe le bon ajustement des jeux de fonctionnement et de géométrie, et provoque une usure prématurée des pièces du mouvement. Par ailleurs, l'arrêt du système oscillant est peu précis, lent et peu reproductible, à cause du glissement du ressort sur le contour radialement périphérique du balancier, et est encombrant.On the other hand, this system has the particular drawback of not making it possible to stop or brake a balance without balance rim (that is to say having no radially peripheral contour). In addition, the stop device causes the application of forces on the radially peripheral contour, which is damaging to the balance, a balance shaft or the assembly of the balance and shaft assembly in the movement, disturbs the proper adjustment of operating and geometry clearances, and causes premature wear of movement parts. Furthermore, stopping the oscillating system is imprecise, slow and not very reproducible, because of the sliding of the spring on the radially peripheral contour of the balance, and is bulky.
Le document
Un but de la présente invention est de répondre aux inconvénients des documents de l'art antérieur mentionnés ci-dessus et en particulier, tout d'abord, de proposer un dispositif d'arrêt de système oscillant rapide, précis et fiable, applicable tant pour un balancier pourvu d'une serge que pour un balancier sans serge, avec un encombrement réduit.An aim of the present invention is to respond to the drawbacks of the documents of the prior art mentioned above and in particular, first of all, to propose a fast, precise and reliable oscillating system stopping device, applicable both for a balance provided with a rim than for a balance without rim, with a reduced bulk.
Pour cela, un premier aspect de l'invention concerne un dispositif d'arrêt pour un système oscillant d'un mouvement de montre, le système oscillant comprenant :
- un arbre de balancier,
- un balancier monté sur l'arbre de balancier,
- un spiral,
- un double plateau avec au moins un grand plateau, monté sur l'arbre de balancier,
- au moins un levier de commande d'arrêt de balancier,
- a balance shaft,
- a balance mounted on the balance shaft,
- a hairspring,
- a double chainring with at least one large chainring, mounted on the balance shaft,
- at least one balance stop control lever,
Il est entendu que le double plateau comprend au moins un grand plateau et au moins un petit plateau. De plus, l'organe de freinage ou frein présente au moins deux positions, une première position dans laquelle le frein est à distance du grand plateau du double plateau et une deuxième position dans laquelle le frein est en contact avec le grand plateau du double plateau, de sorte à le freiner et l'arrêter.It is understood that the double tray includes at least one large tray and at least one small tray. In addition, the braking member or brake has at least two positions, a first position in which the brake is at a distance from the large plate of the double plate and a second position in which the brake is in contact with the large plate of the double plate. , so as to brake and stop it.
Ceci permet de proposer un dispositif d'arrêt pour un système oscillant rapide, précis, fiable, évitant les à-coups, les glissements ou les coincements. De plus, comme l'application de l'effort de freinage n'est pas faite sur un contour radialement périphérique du balancier, le dispositif d'arrêt convient tant pour un balancier avec serge de balancier que pour un balancier sans serge de balancier. Plus encore, le dispositif réduit les contraintes mécaniques sur le balancier, sur l'arbre de balancier et sur les pièces du mouvement y afférentes, de sorte à garantir un bon comportement dans le temps et une conservation des performances sur le long terme. En outre, ceci permet de proposer un dispositif d'arrêt d'encombrement réduit.This makes it possible to provide a stop device for a fast, precise, reliable oscillating system, avoiding jolts, slipping or jamming. In addition, as the application of the braking force is not made on a radially peripheral contour of the balance, the stopping device is suitable both for a balance with a balance rim and for a balance without a balance rim. Moreover, the device reduces the mechanical stresses on the balance, on the balance shaft and on the related movement parts, so as to guarantee good behavior over time and long-term performance conservation. In addition, this makes it possible to provide a stop device of reduced bulk.

Ceci permet de proposer un dispositif d'arrêt de système oscillant avec une grande précision et une application des efforts sans parasitage latéral, de sorte à assurer un freinage efficace et rapide, tout en préservant les pièces du mouvement d'efforts indus entraînant leur détérioration ou un jeu d'usure dégradant la précision du système oscillant.This makes it possible to provide an oscillating system stopping device with great precision and an application of forces without lateral interference, so as to ensure efficient and rapid braking, while preserving the parts from the movement of undue forces resulting in their deterioration or wear clearance degrading the precision of the oscillating system.
Avantageusement, l'organe de freinage comprend au moins une portion d'anneau agencée pour entrer en contact avec le grand plateau.Advantageously, the braking member comprises at least one ring portion arranged to come into contact with the large plate.
Ceci permet de proposer un dispositif d'arrêt avec une bonne répartition des efforts de l'organe de freinage sur la pièce à freiner, de sorte à permettre un freinage efficace, précis et rapide.This makes it possible to provide a stopping device with a good distribution of the forces of the braking member on the part to be braked, so as to allow efficient, precise and rapid braking.
Avantageusement, la portion d'anneau de l'organe de freinage comprend au moins deux portions de freinage agencées à 180° l'une de l'autre par rapport à l'arbre de balancier. Cela limite les couples de renversement sur l'arbre de balancier.Advantageously, the ring portion of the braking member comprises at least two braking portions arranged at 180 ° to each other with respect to the balance shaft. This limits the overturning torques on the balance shaft.
Avantageusement, le double plateau comprend en outre un petit plateau, et un diamètre extérieur du grand plateau est plus grand qu'un diamètre extérieur du petit plateau.Advantageously, the double plate further comprises a small plate, and an outside diameter of the large plate is larger than an outside diameter of the small plate.
Avantageusement, une valeur de diamètre du grand plateau est supérieure à au moins deux fois, préférentiellement trois fois, très préférentiellement quatre fois une valeur de diamètre du petit plateau.Advantageously, a diameter value of the large plate is greater than at least twice, preferably three times, very preferably four times a diameter value of the small plate.
Ceci permet d'augmenter et d'améliorer la surface de freinage de sorte à garantir un freinage efficace et rapide et limiter les efforts latéraux dommageables aux pièces du mouvement, tout en limitant les à-coups, les coincements et les glissements pouvant entrainer des vibrations.This makes it possible to increase and improve the braking surface so as to guarantee efficient and rapid braking and limit lateral forces damaging to the parts of the movement, while limiting jerks, jamming and slipping that can cause vibrations. .
Avantageusement, le grand plateau présente une surface de contact annulaire périphérique, et l'organe de freinage entre en contact avec le grand plateau au niveau de sa surface de contact annulaire.Advantageously, the large plate has a peripheral annular contact surface, and the braking member comes into contact with the large plate at its annular contact surface.
