Definitions
- the present invention relates to a wake-up mechanism for a mechanical timepiece, and more particularly to such a wake-up mechanism which may be either in an activated state or in a deactivated state, and comprising:
- mainspring arranged to disarm by driving the striking mechanism following its triggering
- a trigger system comprising a cam kinematically connected to the movement, and arranged to control the triggering of the striking mechanism at a preprogrammed time, when the alarm mechanism is in the activated state;
- the invention relates to a timepiece comprising a wake-up mechanism in accordance with the first aspect of the invention.
- Awakening mechanisms are known which conform to the definition given above.
- the alarm bell consumes a significant amount of mechanical energy. This is the reason why the timepieces fitted with them generally have a second barrel with a mainspring exclusively dedicated to the actuation of The ring.
- the mechanical energy available is generally not sufficient to allow the alarm mechanism to ring a second time after ringing the first time, unless the user of the timepiece does '' meanwhile reassembled the striking barrel.
- This state of affairs can be the source of unpleasant surprises for a person who wishes to use the alarm mechanism of their timepiece. It would therefore be desirable to have an alarm mechanism with which one can be certain that there is enough energy to allow it to ring when the time comes for the desired duration.
- An object of the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks of the prior art which have just been explained.
- the present invention achieves this and other objects by providing a wake-up mechanism according to claim 1 appended hereto.
- wake-up mechanism here designates any mechanism adapted to emit acoustic signals at times chosen in advance.
- the alarm mechanism can be put in the activated state or in the deactivated state.
- the striking mechanism does not activate at the preprogrammed time, even if the mainspring is sufficiently armed to drive the striking mechanism.
- the alarm mechanism includes an isolator arranged to neutralize the activation function of the alarm mechanism when the degree of winding of the mainspring is less than a first predefined threshold value. Thanks to this feature, if the alarm mechanism is in the activated state, a user can be sure that the bell will actually occur when the cam commands the triggering of the bell mechanism. Conversely, if the user forgets to reassemble the ring barrel before using the manual control mechanism to activate the wake-up mechanism, the manual control mechanism will not work. By noting that he cannot activate the alarm mechanism, the user will realize that he has forgotten to reassemble the ring barrel.
- the alarm mechanism also includes an activation indicator member arranged to indicate whether the alarm mechanism is in the activated state or in the deactivated state.
- an activation indicator member arranged to indicate whether the alarm mechanism is in the activated state or in the deactivated state.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view on the dial side of a wristwatch comprising a wake-up mechanism according to a particular embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 2A is a partial plan view from above of the alarm mechanism of the wristwatch of Figure 1, showing more particularly the shaft and the spring which form part of the striking barrel, the stop, and the system logical;
- FIG. 2B is a block diagram of the operation of the stopping of the alarm mechanism of the wristwatch of Figure 1;
- FIG. 3A, 3B and 3C are schematic plan views showing the triggering system of the alarm mechanism of the wristwatch of Figure 1, Figures 3A and 3B illustrating the alarm mechanism in the activated state, respectively before triggering and just after triggering, and FIG. 3C illustrating the alarm mechanism in the deactivated state;
- FIGS. 4A, 4B and 4C are schematic bottom plan views showing the manual control mechanism arranged to alternately switch the alarm mechanism of the wristwatch of Figure 1 from the activated state to the deactivated state and conversely, and further showing the isolator arranged to neutralize the activation function of the wake-up mechanism, FIGS. 4A and 4B illustrating the wake-up mechanism in the activated state, the degree of winding of the mainspring being respectively greater than and less than the first predefined threshold value, and FIG. 4C illustrating the alarm mechanism in the deactivated state, the degree of winding of the mainspring being less than the first threshold value;
- FIGS. 5A, 5B and 5C are schematic plan views illustrating three phases of the operation of the automatic mechanism arranged to deactivate the alarm mechanism of the wristwatch of Figure 1 when the mainspring has disarmed until below a predefined threshold value.
- FIG. 1 attached is a schematic plan view on the dial side of an alarm clock according to a particular embodiment of the invention.
- the alarm watch shown will now be described by limiting itself to the essential aspects of the invention and leaving aside a large number of details which do not directly concern the invention.
- the watch in Figure 1 has a winding crown (referenced 11) which protrudes from the middle of the watch approximately at 4 o'clock.
- the crown 11 is arranged so as to allow the striking barrel to be raised by rotating it, in the pushed-back position, clockwise.
- the winding crown 11 also allows correct the alarm time. To shift the alarm time forwards or backwards, the crown must be rotated clockwise and counterclockwise respectively after having brought the winding stem to the time setting position d 'alarm.
- the alarm time is displayed, in digital form, in two counters (referenced 3 and 5) which are arranged side by side in the dial at 12 o'clock.
- a first of the two counters (referenced 3) indicates the hour as an integer between 1 and 12, and the second counter (referenced 5) indicates the minute as a two-digit number which is a multiple of 5 between 00 and 55.
- the alarm watch illustrated in FIG. 1 also includes a pusher (referenced 13) which protrudes from the middle approximately 2 hours. This pusher is provided to allow manual actuation of a mechanism arranged to alternately activate and deactivate the watch's awakening mechanism.
- this manually controlled mechanism is also associated with an activation indicator member which is designed to indicate whether the alarm mechanism is in the activated state or in the disabled state.
- This indicator member is arranged to appear in a third small window on the dial (referenced 7). Window 7 is set up at 12 noon between the first two windows 3 and 5 and the hour turn. Finally, a fourth small window (referenced 9) is arranged between the first two windows 3 and 5 and the center of the dial. The indicator that appears in the small window 9 is a day / night indicator associated with the alarm time.
- the alarm mechanism includes a striking mechanism and a mainspring 15 (FIG. 2A) arranged to disarm by driving the striking mechanism following a triggering of the latter.
- the mainspring which is exclusively dedicated to the actuation of the bell, is arranged in a barrel.
- the barrel also drives an inertia brake designed to regulate its unwinding and therefore the frequency with which the acoustic signals are issued.
- the cog that connects the barrel to the inertia brake is called the "little cog". This type of arrangement is known as such.
- FIG. 2A the ringing barrel of the alarm mechanism which is the subject of the present description is equipped with a stop (referenced 85). Stoppers are devices which are known to those skilled in the art as such. In a timepiece, stopping serves on the one hand to limit the number of winding turns of the barrel during reassembly, and it also serves to prevent the motor spring from disarming completely.
- FIG. 2B is a block diagram of the operation of the stopping of the alarm mechanism of the present example. The operating principle of the stop shown is similar to that of a traditional Maltese cross stop. However, the illustrated stop has the distinction of being staged on two levels. The arrangement on two levels has the advantage of saving space in width, while avoiding the risks of desynchronization.
- FIG. 85 Stoppers are devices which are known to those skilled in the art as such. In a timepiece, stopping serves on the one hand to limit the number of winding turns of the barrel during reassembly, and it also serves to prevent the motor spring from disarming completely.
- FIG. 2B shows a portion of disc 81 and a finger 83 which are both fixed on the barrel shaft (not shown in FIG. 2B, but visible and referenced 79 in FIG. 2A).
- FIG. 2B also shows a partially toothed mobile 85 at two levels which is pivotally mounted on a fixed shaft near the barrel.
- the first level of the mobile 85 consists of a star 87 which is arranged to cooperate with the finger 83, and the second level consists of a cam 89 arranged to cooperate with the disc portion 81. It can be seen that the cam 89 has a circular portion 91 and two concave portions 93a and 93b. Seen from above, as shown in FIGS.
- the direction in which the shaft 79 must be rotated in order to raise the barrel is clockwise, and therefore conversely, the barrel disarms by rotating the barrel shaft counterclockwise.
- the angular position of the stopping mobile 85 in FIGS. 2A and 2B corresponds to the situation where the mainspring is fully armed.
- the disc portion 81 has a concave face, and in the illustrated configuration, the stop 85 blocks the rotation of the barrel shaft clockwise by bracing of one of the ends 81 a of the concave face against one end of the circular portion 91 of the cam 89. In this configuration, the barrel is on the other hand free to disarm by driving the shaft 79 counterclockwise.
- the mainspring When the mainspring disarms by driving the barrel shaft, it drives the finger 83 in rotation, so that the latter advances the star 87 by one step at each revolution.
- the finger 83 rotates the stopper 85 by 30 ° each turn of the barrel shaft.
- the mobile stopper has rotated 60 °, the mainspring having caused the barrel shaft to complete two full turns by disarming, the latter locks again due, this time, to the arc - end of the end 81b of the concave face of the disc portion 81 against the other end of the circular portion 91 of the cam 89.
- the stopping thus prevents the barrel from disarming further.
- the angular position of the stopping mobile 85 is a function of the degree of winding of the mainspring and that, in the example illustrated, an angle of 60 ° separates the maximum winding position from the position d minimum armament.
- the alarm mechanism comprises a triggering system provided for controlling the triggering of the striking mechanism at a programmed time, provided that the alarm mechanism is activated.
- Figures 3A, 3B and 3C are schematic plan views of the trigger system of the alarm mechanism of the watch of Figure 1. The first two of these three figures illustrate the trigger system when the alarm mechanism is in the activated state, while the third figure 3C illustrates the same system when the alarm mechanism is in the deactivated state. It will also be specified that FIG. 3A shows the system before the triggering and FIG. 3B shows it just after.
- a lever 33 rotatably mounted on a pivot 34 and provided with a first arm arranged to cooperate with a toothed mobile 18 which is part of the small train, a trigger cam 21 provided with a notch 23 , and a trigger lever 25 pivoted about an axis 27 and provided with a spout 29 which is biased against the cam 21 by a return spring 31.
- the distal end of the lever 25 carries a pin 32 arranged to cooperate with a second arm of the lever 33.
- the first arm of the lever 33 is inserted into the teeth of a four-pointed star 19 of the mobile 18. The mobile 18 is therefore blocked so that the striking barrel cannot rotate.
- the first arm of the lever 33 is kept apart from the teeth of the star 19, so that the mobile 18 is free to rotate, the barrel then being free to disarm by driving the mechanism ringing tone.
- the cam 21 is connected to the finishing train of the watch so as to be driven to rotate counterclockwise (the cam being seen from the angle shown in the figures). In the present example, the cam 21 performs one revolution in twenty-four hours.
- the alarm mechanism also includes an adjustment system, which can be of a type known to those skilled in the art, and which makes it possible to adjust the angular position of the cam 21 so that the the notch 23 is located opposite the spout 29 at a programmed wake-up time.
- the operating principle of the trigger mechanism of the striking mechanism is as follows. At the programmed wake-up time, the spout 29 suddenly drops into the notch 23, which causes the trigger rocker 25 to pivot around its axis 27 counterclockwise. The pin 32 carried by the distal end of the lever 25 then actuates the lever 33, so that the latter pivots clockwise (FIG. 3B). By thus pivoting clockwise, the lever 33 releases the star 19. The barrel is then free to rotate by driving the striking mechanism.
- Figures 3A, 3B and 3C also show a column wheel
- the column wheel of the present example is double. It’s pretty much about the back-to-back assembly of two classic column wheels.
- the column wheel 41 essentially consists of a ratchet wheel 57, a first batch of six teeth or columns 59 carried edged by the ratchet on the upper face of its board, and a second batch of six teeth or columns 59A carried on edge by the ratchet on the underside of its board (only the first batch of columns is visible in FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C).
- the columns have a cross section substantially in the shape of a truncated triangle.
- ratchet 57 has 12 teeth (two teeth for each column in a batch). It is indeed a two-stroke column wheel.
- the column wheel 41 When it is not actuated, the column wheel 41 is held in a stable angular position by a jumper spring 58, the end of which presses against the ratchet wheel.
- the control lever 35 for its part, is pivoted about an axis 37. It can also be seen that it is provided with a spout 39 and a pin 45.
- the spout 39 is biased against the columns 59 of the column wheel 41 by a return spring 43, and the pin 45 is arranged to cooperate with a foot 47 with which the trigger lever 25 is provided.
- FIGS. 3A and 3B both show the column wheel 41 oriented so as to allow the spout 39 of the rocker 35 to be lowered between two columns 59 under the action of the spring 43.
- the ratchet is pivoted 57 of the column wheel 41 with one step, one of the columns pushes the spout 39 so that it lifts and comes to rest in abutment against the column (FIG. 3C).
- This movement causes the rocker 35 to pivot in the direction counterclockwise.
- the column wheel 41 is a two-stroke column wheel.
- the column against which the spout 39 rests is released, and the spout again descends between two columns actuated by the spring 43. This movement causes the pivoting of flip-flop 35 in the other direction, clockwise.
- the control lever 35 includes a pin 45 which is arranged to cooperate with a foot 47 of the trigger lever 25.
- the pin 45 is kept apart from the path of the foot 47, and therefore it cannot hinder the pivoting of the trigger lever 25 in one direction or the other.
- the column wheel 41 is incremented by one step, the pivoting of the control lever 35 counterclockwise is accompanied by a displacement of the pin 45 in the direction of the foot 47. In this new position , the pin 45 is on the path of the foot 47, so that it blocks the pivoting of the trigger lever counterclockwise.
- the wake-up mechanism is in the activated state when the lever 35 is lowered between two columns as illustrated in FIGS. 3A and 3B.
- the alarm mechanism is in the deactivated state when the lever 35 is raised, the spout 39 resting against one of the columns 59 as illustrated in FIG. 3C.
- the alarm mechanism which is the subject of the present description also comprises an activation indicator member arranged to indicate whether the alarm mechanism is in the activated state or in the deactivated state.
- the activation indicator member is controlled by the lever 35 and, as already mentioned, it is arranged to appear in a window referenced 7 (FIG. 1).
- the alarm mechanism includes a manually controlled mechanism arranged to change it alternately from the activated state to the deactivated state and vice versa.
- Figures 4A, 4B and 4C are schematic bottom plan views of this mechanism.
- the manually controlled mechanism operates by advancing the column wheel 41 with one step each time the wearer of the watch actuates a push button (referenced 13 in FIG. 1). It can be seen in FIG. 4A that the column wheel 41 is under the action of a pawl 55 arranged to cooperate with the teeth of the ratchet wheel 57.
- the pawl 55 is pivotally mounted on one of the ends of a control lever 51.
- each pressure exerted on the push button has the effect of displacing the pawl 55 so as to advance the column wheel 41 by the angular value of a ratchet tooth (30 °), and that the successive pressures on the push-button 13 have the effect of gradually incrementing the angular position of the column wheel 41.
- the alarm mechanism includes an isolator arranged to neutralize the activation function of the alarm mechanism by the manual control mechanism when the degree of winding of the mainspring is less than a first predefined threshold value.
- a first logic cam 61 and an isolator 63 can be seen.
- the first logic cam 61 is mounted coaxially on the stop mobile 85 (visible in FIGS. 2A and 2B) so that it pivots together with the latter. It can also be seen that the first logic cam has several circular sectors separated from each other by shoulders.
- the insulator 63 is in the form of a rocker which is pivoted about an axis 65 and which is provided with a cam follower spout 67 which is biased against the profile of the first logic cam 61 by a spring which is integrated in the isolator.
- the insulator 63 is also provided with a second spout 69 designed to cooperate with the columns 59A of the second batch of columns of the column wheel 41.
- the insulator 63 carries a pin 71 at its end furthest from the axis 65. It can also be specified that the insulator 63 is arranged, with respect to the column wheel 41, such that the spout 69 is in abutment against one of the columns 59A (FIGS. 4A and 4B) when the alarm clock is in the activated state. And conversely, the spout 69 is located opposite the space between two columns 59A ( Figure 4C) when the alarm mechanism is in the deactivated state.
- the logic cam 61 is shown in an angular position such that the spout 67 of the insulator 63 is pressed against a portion of circular profile 61a of the cam.
- the angular position of the logic cam 61 is representative of the degree of winding of the mainspring.
- the logic cam is rotated so that the spout 67 of the insulator 63 is opposite the portion of circular profile 61 a, this is because the degree of winding of the mainspring is greater than the first predefined threshold value. Still referring to FIG.
- the spout 67 of the insulator 63 is now located opposite another circular portion (referenced 61 b) of profile of the cam 61, the radius of the portion of circular profile 61 b being substantially smaller than that of the portion of circular profile 61 a. It can however be observed that the spout 67 is not in abutment against the circular profile 61 b, but that it is on the contrary suspended above the profile 61 b. Indeed, the second spout 69 of the insulator 63 is always in abutment against the same column 59A of the column wheel 41, because the alarm mechanism is always activated, the ringing being in progress.
- the insulator 63 carries a pin 71 at its end farthest from the axis 65. Still referring to FIG. 4C, it can be seen that the pin 71 is arranged to hold the pawl 55 of the mechanism manual control away from the ratchet wheel 57 from the column wheel 41.
- the insulator 63 in the position illustrated in FIG. 4C, the wearer of the watch no longer has the possibility of incrementing the column wheel by actuating the push button 13. In the position illustrated, the insulator 63 in fact prevents the pawl 55 from coming into engagement with the teeth of the ratchet wheel 57.
- FIG. 4A represents the first logic cam 61 in the same angular position as in FIG. 2A.
- the spout 67 of the insulator 63 is in abutment against the portion of circular profile 61 a.
- the first logic cam 61 which is integral with the armament mobile 85 (FIG. 2A and 2B), is arranged to rotate counterclockwise when the barrel disarms.
- the spout 67 of the insulator 63 slides over the portion of circular profile 61a up to the shoulder 62 separating this portion profile of the profile portion 61 b. Once the shoulder 62 has been crossed, the spout 67 is located opposite the portion of circular profile 61 b whose radius is substantially less than that of the circular profile 61 a.
- the other spout (the spout 69) of the insulator 63 is in abutment against one of the columns 59A of the column wheel 41.
- the insulator 63 does not tip over when the spout 67 passes from the profile portion 61 a to the profile portion 61 b since it is still supported by its other spout which is in abutment against one of the columns of the column wheel. It will be understood from the above that the isolator 63 does not interfere with the operation of the manual control mechanism when the wake-up mechanism is in the activated state. On the other hand, if the wearer of the wristwatch deactivates the alarm clock, during ringing, after the cam follower spout 67 has crossed the shoulder 62, the column 59A disappears.
- the spout 69 is free to lower between two columns, so that the isolator 63 swings counterclockwise and that the spout 67 comes to bear against the profile portion 61 b. According to what has been explained above, in this situation, the wearer of the watch no longer has the possibility of incrementing the column wheel 41 by actuating the push button 13. The activation function of the mechanism awakening by the manually controlled mechanism is therefore neutralized. It will also be recalled that, in accordance with what has been explained in connection with FIG. 3C, deactivating the alarm during ringing also has the effect of stopping the ringing.
- the stopping mobile 85 shown has four different levels.
- the two lower levels are, as we have seen, a star 87 and a cam 89 which together constitute the stopper 85 itself (Fig. 2B).
- the third level of the mobile 85 is constituted by the first logic cam 61 which, as we have also seen, is rigidly fixed on the first two levels in the coaxial position.
- the stopping mobile 85 also comprises a fourth level formed mainly by a second logic cam 95 which is pivotally mounted over the first logic cam 61 in the coaxial position. Still referring to FIG.
- the board of the second logic cam is pierced with an oblong 97 which defines an arc of a circle concentric with the pivot axis of the cam.
- the first logic cam 61 carries a pin 99 which is arranged to slide in the oblong 97. The presence of this oblong allows the second logic cam 95 to pivot relative to the rest of the stopper 85 to l 'interior of a sector whose extent is limited by the two ends of the oblong 97.
- the alarm mechanism comprises an automatic system arranged to deactivate it when the mainspring has disarmed below a second predefined threshold value, the second threshold value being less than the first threshold value.
- FIGS. 5A, 5B and 5C are schematic plan views illustrating three phases of the operation of the above-mentioned automatic system. Referring to the three aforementioned figures, it can be seen that the second logic cam 95, which is mounted on the winding mobile 85, comprises a profile portion 111 with constant radius and a hollow profile portion 115.
- the three figures also show the column wheel 41 with its ratchet wheel 57 immobilized by the jumper 58, and a rocker 103 with instantaneous triggering which is pivoted by one of its ends around an axis 105. It can be seen more than the instant-action rocker carries a pawl 109 which is provided for actuating the ratchet wheel 57 of the column wheel 41, and which is fixed to the end of the rocker 103 furthest from the pivot axis 105. Finally , the rocker with instantaneous triggering is also provided with a roller 107 which is biased against the second logic cam 95 by a return spring 113.
- the configuration illustrated in FIG. 5A corresponds to the situation where the barrel spring is fully armed.
- the caster 107 is in abutment against the profile portion 111 at constant radius of the cam 95.
- the stopping mobile 85 successively takes two steps of 30 ° clockwise.
- the second logic cam 95 is integral in rotation with the rest of the stop mobile 85.
- the pin 99 is then at one end of the oblong 97, and it prevents the second cam logic 95 to pivot relative to the rest of the stopping mobile 85 counterclockwise. Under these conditions, the caster 107 rolls against the profile portion 111 at a constant radius.
- the roller 107 arrives at the end of the profile portion 111 at constant radius (this situation is shown in Figure 5B).
- Figure 5B this situation is shown in Figure 5B.
- the force with which the wheel 107 presses against the profile of the second logic cam 95 ceases to be oriented radially, but turns on the contrary so as to push the cam 95 to pivot clockwise.
- the roller 107 suddenly plunges into the hollow profile portion 1 15 by pivoting counterclockwise rocker 103 instantaneously counterclockwise.
