2. Description of the Related Art Normally, a means for making a hand of a timepiece or a rotating decoration of a timepiece driven by a stepping motor look like an intermittent rotation of the stepping motor as a continuous smooth rotation is employed. (For example, the actual Kaihei 2-1
No. 28994).

As means for making intermittent rotation appear as continuous rotation, first, a wheel train transmitting power from a driving gear of a step motor to a second hand gear or a driving gear of a rotary decoration is used. A buffer spring is interposed, and the deformation of the spring absorbs a speed difference caused by intermittent rotation. Second, a speed difference due to intermittent rotation is absorbed by filling a viscous member such as grease into a bearing portion of the wheel train gear and performing viscous coupling. Usually, by using these two means together, continuous and smooth rotation can be obtained.

In order to obtain viscous coupling by filling a viscous member into a bearing portion, a cylindrical peripheral wall portion is usually provided around a tenon provided on one of a main plate and a gear. A mortise formed in the other side of the base plate or the gear is fitted to the mortise in a state in which grease is filled in a recess surrounded by the peripheral wall.

At this time, if the amount of the pre-filled grease is too large, there is a problem that the grease protrudes from the concave portion and contaminates the inside of the case or seeps out of the case. On the other hand, if the filling amount of the grease is insufficient, there is a problem that a sufficient viscous coupling cannot be obtained.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the bearing device of the present invention is provided with a rotating body, a ground plate, and a rotating body to prevent a viscous member such as grease filled in the bearing device from spilling out of the bearing device by assembly. A recess having a mortise at the center is formed on one side, and a protrusion having a mortise hole into which the mortise fits is inserted into the recess on the other side and loosely fitted, and a viscous member filled in the mortise hole before assembly is formed. Although a predetermined amount is removed from the mortise hole into the concave portion after the assembling, the removed predetermined amount of the viscous member is an amount that is not removed from the concave portion to the outside. This ensures that a suitable viscous bond is obtained.

FIG. 2 shows a state in which the mortise 2a of the gear G is loosely fitted to the mortise 3 of the main plate J. In this state, the grease 6 that has been filled in the mortise hole 2a is removed by an amount corresponding to the volume of the mortise 3 that has entered the mortise hole 2a, and from around the mortise, along the bottom surface and the inner peripheral surface of the concave portion 5. Spilled out, protrusion 2
It extends without exceeding the height of the peripheral wall portion 4 so as to surround the periphery of b. As described above, the filling amount of the grease 6 in the concave portion 5 is determined by the filling amount of the grease 6 into the mortise hole 2a in addition to the shapes of the mortise hole 2a, the mortise 3, the protrusion 2b, and the concave portion 5. When the projection 2b is fitted into the recess 5 and the grease 6 pushed out from the mortise hole 2a by the tenon 3 turns from the tip of the projection 2b to the outer periphery of the projection 2b, the viscous effect is large. Taking into account the effect of the dimensional accuracy of the parts, the ease of checking the amount of lubrication after the filling operation, and the like, it is desirable that the filling amount of the grease 6 in the mortise hole 2a be equal to the volume of the mortise hole. .

When the mortise 2a is completely filled with the grease 6 and the gear G is incorporated into the main plate J, the grease 6 which has been filled in the mortise 2a is removed by the mortise 3 and the projection 2b is formed. The grease 6 flows out through the gap between the tip of the recess 5 and the outer periphery of the projection 2 b, and the grease 6 that has flowed out stays at a position slightly lower than the end of the peripheral wall 4 of the concave 5. 4 does not flow out.

【0012】ホゾ穴2aの容積V1 は、ホゾ穴の内径を

The volume V1 of the mortise hole 2a is V1 = πp 2 h / 4 where the inner diameter of the mortise hole is p and the depth is h.

Next, the volume V2 of the concave portion 5 formed between the periphery of the tenon 3 and the peripheral wall portion 4 is such that the diameter of the tenon 3 is c, its height is L, the inside diameter of the concave portion is d, and its depth is Are H and L
If ≧ H, then V2 = π (d 2 −c 2 ) H / 4.

The amount V4 of the grease 6 filling the recess 5 and the inside of the mortise hole 2a is negligible because the protrusion 3a of the mortise 3 is slightly raised, so that the outer diameter of the protrusion 2b is q, and the protrusion 2b is q. Assuming that the height of the grease 6 remaining at the outer diameter q of 2b from the bottom of the concave portion 5 is T, V4 = π {T (d 2 −q 2 ) + (L−h) (q 2 −p 2 ) + L (p 2 -c 2 )} / 4.

Is an appropriate amount (volume) of the viscous member to be filled, and is obtained by making the volume substantially equal to the volume V1 of the mortise hole. Therefore, if the size of each part is determined so that V1 = V4, the grease filling amount becomes appropriate.
