  • the invention also relates to a timepiece, in particular a watch, comprising at least one such resonator.
  • the invention relates to the field of timepieces with mechanical oscillators, and in particular the field of watches, where the flexible guides according to the invention make it possible to guarantee both isochronism and insensitivity to positions in space. .
  • a mechanical watch has an oscillator with a balance-spring, which is responsible for the good chronometric precision of the watch.
  • a very promising way to overcome the friction of the pivots is that of oscillators with flexible guides, in which a flexible guide fulfills two elementary functions at the same time: on the one hand the guiding function and, on the other hand, the elastic restoring force or torque.
  • Non-limiting examples of rotating flexible guides are described in the documents EP3035126 , EP3206089 , and EP18179623 , all on behalf of THE SWATCH GROUP RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT Ltd. There is now a wide variety of rotating flexible guides, the manufacture of which has been made possible by the “LIGA” and “DRIE” technologies.
  • the document WO2018/100122A1 in the name of LVMH describes a device for a timepiece comprising a base, an inertia regulator member rotatably mounted with respect to the base, by means of an elastic suspension means connecting the regulator member to the base.
  • the regulator member comprises a number n of rigid parts connected two by two by means of n elastic coupling links.
  • the elastic suspension means comprises n elastic suspension links connecting each rigid part individually to the base.
  • the document EP3001257A1 on behalf of ETA Manufacture Horlogère Suisse describes a watchmaking resonator comprising a mass connected, by flexible blades, to attachment points of a fixed structure, and subjected to a torque and/or a force, this resonator being arranged to oscillate with at least two degrees of freedom in translation, and the flexible blades being arranged to maintain oscillations of this at least one mass around a virtual pivot.
  • These flexible blades have long arms, each with a developed length at least twice greater than the shortest distance between the mass and the attachment points.
  • the document CH712068A2 in the name of ETA Manufacture Horlogère Suisse describes a resonator clockwork mechanism with a pivoting mass, pivoting around a virtual axis, and comprising a flexible pivoting guide mechanism and a first and a second fixed supports to which is fixed, by a first elastic assembly and respectively a second elastic assembly which together define this virtual axis, a rotary support carrying this pivoting mass.
  • This flexible pivoting guide mechanism is flat
  • the first elastic assembly comprises, on either side of the virtual axis, and joined by a first intermediate blade more rigid than each of them, a first external flexible blade and a first internal flexible blade together defining a first direction passing through the virtual axis
  • the second assembly includes a second flexible blade defining a second direction passing through the virtual axis.
  • EP2975470A1 in the name of NIVAROX SA describes an elastic guide device in rotation for a clockwork mechanism allowing the rotation of one element relative to another around an axis of rotation defining an axial direction, comprising construction blades, comprising each an assembly fastener comprising a body and a functional part extending from the body to one end, the assembly fastening part and the functional part being separated by at least one slot into at least two extensions elastically connected which extend in a radial direction transverse to the axial direction, the device further comprising anchoring zones arranged at opposite axial ends of the flexible guide device, and configured to be fixed to said members.
  • each of the construction blades includes a cavity or a assembly clearance and an assembly extension which intersect and fit in a radial direction to be locked together.
  • a rotating flexible guide whose return torque is proportional to the angle of elongation, so that the period does not depend on the amplitude of oscillation, and whose the parasitic displacements of the virtual center of rotation are the smallest, so that the period does not depend on the orientation of the watch.
  • a guide is sought which allows large amplitudes without the stresses in the material producing rupture.
  • a substantially flat plate is subjected to a moment, it deforms along an arc of a circle, and its end defines an angle proportional to the moment applied.
  • the flexed blade has a slight anticlastic curvature.
  • the anticlastic curvature is due to the fact that the fibers exterior to the neutral fiber of the blade in bending, must lengthen and therefore also contract in the directions orthogonal to the neutral fiber, and, conversely, the fibers interior to the fiber neutral are contracted and therefore extend orthogonally.
  • the Poisson's ratio is described by the Poisson's ratio. If the volume of the material is maintained, the Poisson's ratio is worth 0.5. For most common materials, the Poisson's ratio is closer to the value 0.3.
  • the magnitude of the anticlastic curvature depends on the local bending curvature, the Poisson's ratio of the material, the ratios between the three main dimensions of the blade, and the geometries of the embedments.
  • the invention proposes to define a flexible guide for a mechanical oscillator, which is subjected as little as possible to anticlastic curvature.
  • the invention proposes to provide the flexible strip with at least one rib and at least one neck, in order to control the anticlastic curvature, without significantly degrading the elastic performance of the flexible strip.
  • ribs are distributed along the flexible blade and extend according to the height thereof, in order to stiffen it to limit the anticlastic curvature, without greatly limiting its expected bending qualities.
  • the invention relates to a clockwork resonator according to claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to a timepiece, in particular a watch, comprising at least one such resonator.
  • the invention proposes to provide the flexible blade with at least one rib and at least one neck, in order to control the anticlastic curvature.
  • the figures 1 to 3 represent a classic flexible blade subject to anticlastic curvature.
  • the figure 4 defines the reference geometric elements used in the rest of the description, and represents a flexible blade 2 joining a first recess 41 of a first element 4 to a second recess 51 of a second element 5.
  • the first recess 41 defines with the second recess 51 a blade direction D.
  • the first element 4 and the second element 5 are each more rigid than each flexible blade 2.
  • the flexible blade 2 is arranged to deform essentially in an XY plane parallel to the direction of blade D, and comprising a first dimension L called length according to a first longitudinal axis Y parallel to the blade direction D and defined by the first recess 41 and the second recess 51, a second dimension E called thickness according to a second orthogonal transverse axis X to the first axis Y in the XY plane, and a third dimension H called height according to a third axis Z orthogonal to the XY plane.
  • the first dimension L is greater than the third dimension H, which is greater than the second dimension E.
  • the strip 2 extends substantially in the form of a ribbon along a geometric neutral fiber FN joining the first recess 41 and the second recess 51, and comprises at least one median zone 6, which extends transversely, along the second axis X, around or on either side of the neutral fiber FN, and whose thickness is a nominal thickness EN.
  • the blade 2 can extend around the neutral fiber FN, which then always remains in the material, or on either side of this neutral fiber FN. It is understood that this neutral fiber FN corresponds to a curve in the rest position of the blade 2, towards which this blade returns after an elastic deformation in bending.
  • ribs are distributed along the blade and extend according to the height of the blade, to stiffen the blade to limit anticlastic curvature, without stiffening it much for the expected flex.
  • the figure 7 shows the rate of a one-blade flexible guide resonator as a function of its amplitude for different numbers of sections, the number of ribs being here equal to the number of sections minus one. It can be seen that the addition of a few ribs suffices to considerably improve the isochronism of the resonator.
  • the figure 8 shows the rate variation (anisochronism) between 20° and 10° of amplitude, depending on the number of sections of the blade of the resonator.
  • Another variant consists in providing the flexible blade with undulations, in order to control the anticlastic curvature, as visible on the figures 9 and 10 .
  • the proposed corrugated blade can, in projection in the XY plane, completely include the neutral fiber FN, so as not to lose the tensile rigidity of the blade.

  • this at least one blade 2 comprises, at a distance from the first recess 41 and the second recess 51, at least one rib 3 extending substantially along the third axis Z. More particularly, each rib 3 comprises at least one generatrix 31 which is farther from the neutral fiber FN than are the side surfaces of the median zones 6 of the strip 2 situated outside this or these ribs 3. And the longitudinal extension LN, along the first axis Y longitudinal, of each rib 3 of the blade 2 is less than or equal to one fifth of the length L of the blade 2 between its recesses.
  • each rib 3 is spaced, along the first axis Y, from any neck that the blade 2 has, by a value greater than or equal to the height H of the blade 2.

  • the blade 2 comprises alternating sections 6 following the neutral fiber FN, and ribs 3.
  • the median zones 6 are limited to zones of inflection between rounded or pointed ribs, or the like, forming a wavy or zig-zag blade.
  • this at least one flexible blade 2 comprises at least one rib 3 which extends over the entire height H of the blade 2 along the third axis Z. More particularly, each rib 3 of this blade 2 extends over the entire height H of the blade 2 along the third axis Z.
  • the height H of the slat 2 is less than or equal to one fifth of the length L of the slat 2 between its recesses.
  • the maximum thickness EM of the strip 2 along the second transverse axis X is less than or equal to one fifth of the height H of the strip 2.

More particularly the base of this prism in the plane XY is symmetrical with respect to the projection of the neutral fiber FN in this plane XY.
  • the blade 2 can easily be produced by an extrusion-type process, or by a “LIGA” or “DRIE” process, since its geometry can be entirely described by its projection in the XY plane, raised in the third direction Z.
  • the blade may comprise a central opening, in particular when it is made on the basis of two head-to-tail wafers, or comprise a relief, or comprise two reliefs in symmetry with respect to a median plane parallel to the XY plane.
