Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a timepiece analog, in particular an analog watch, which can display at least one other additional information only an indication of time.
  • the present invention relates more particularly an analog timepiece that can display at minus additional information other than time indication using the hands, and in particular at using the hour and minute hands.
  • This timepiece does not display, at using needles, additional information other only an indication of time, since in this room the needles systematically provide information about time type which is either the standard time or the time reference which is noon or midnight, reference that you can move either to the 12 o'clock position or on the 3 o'clock position, i.e. on the 6 o'clock position of the dial.
  • this time reference modified conditioning the correct subsequent display of the hour by the two hands.
  • the patent French FR-A-2 404 250 describes a part timepiece comprising an hour hand, a minute hand and external control means to display a number by the hands information other than time indications.
  • a control circuit to the interior of the watch generates motor impulses which produce the displacement of one of the needles independently of each other, to bring this needle into a position where it displays this information.
  • second needle may, depending on the case, either remain in the position it was in before the onset of displaying this information other than an indication of hours, or move to display a second information of the same type.
  • Timepieces using a display mode such as the one described above present disadvantages. Indeed, the presence of at least two needles occupying different positions on the dial, may cause reading errors.
  • An object of the present invention is therefore to remedy to these disadvantages of the prior art by providing a analog timepiece that can display the time of conventional manner, in particular using two hands and can also display information other than a time indication using these hands in a way that lends itself to easy reading and which avoids the risks of confusion which have just been described.
  • the subject of the present invention is a part analog watchmaking comprising at least one hand hours and minute hand operated respectively by first and second electromechanical means, control means which can be actuated by a manual control member, and a electronic circuit comprising a time base, a counting circuit at least time information hour and minute, and electronic means of management to generate control signals for the displacement of the needles, this electronic circuit being furthermore intended to receive, manage and provide the means electronic management of at least one non-hourly information other than a time or reference indication temporal, the electronic management means being in additionally provided for in response to a control signal supplied by said control means, display by needles non-hourly information; the room of watchmaking being characterized in that the means management electronics are also provided to bring needles to display non-hourly information in coming to overlap and selectively occupy together a same angular position which is representative of said non-hourly information.
  • Another advantage of the present invention is that displaying non-hourly information does not risk to be confused with an indication of hours.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown in Figure 1, in the form of a block diagram, an alarm clock constituting a mode of realization of the present invention.
  • This alarm clock includes in series a quartz oscillator 2, a chain of division 4 delivering a signal at 1 Hz, a counter position of the second hand 6 and a counter position of the minute hand 8. It still includes a divider by twelve referenced 10, receiving the signal from second hand position counter 6, and a hour hand position counter 12 of which the input is connected to the output of the divider 10.
  • the counters 6, 8 and 12 are counters by sixty of which the operating mode is described schematically by Figure 3.
  • pulses to count are supplied to the counter (arrow on the far left on the drawing). These successive pulses are counted by a binary register of at least six bits, which they increment. The status of this register can be read at any time moment (down arrow on the drawing). Every increment, the registry is tested to see if the number it contains is equal to sixty. If it is the case, a pulse is emitted by the test circuit and this pulse causes the reset of the register.
  • the test circuit therefore constitutes a divider by sixty whose signal can be sent to another counter (right arrow on the drawing).
  • Counters 8 and 12 ( Figure 1) define, in normal, the position of the minute hands and hours relative to the coin dial turn of watchmaking.
  • the alarm watch described here does not include no second hand, the position counter of the second hand is only used to generate a signal to increment the other counters 8, 12.
  • the timepiece is furthermore provided with two motors 18 and 20 controlled respectively by circuits of power 14, 16 to train respectively the minute hand and the hour hand (figure 2).
  • the circuits 14, 16 receive, in normal mode, the pulses applied respectively to the inputs of position indicators for the 8 minute hand and 12 hours.
  • Patent EP-0 393 606 in particular describes a timepiece movement comprising two capable motors independently drive the minute hand and the hour hand.
  • the timepiece includes electronic management means 22 to allow the alarm clock to fulfill various display functions and an alarm function.
  • These electronic management means 22 include inputs MN and H for receiving the contents of the minute counters 8 and hours 12, two activation inputs AN, EN and two inputs D + , D - for the movement data of the hands forward and backward respectively.
  • Patent EP-0 175 961 in particular describes a control rod associated with an interpretation circuit which can easily be adapted to be used with the timepiece described here.
  • the electronic management means 22 also include two outputs Mmn and Mh for delivering pulses to the motors 18 and 20, and a control output C for managing the state of two switches 26, 28 arranged at the input of the power circuits 14 , 16 and arranged to transmit to them, either the pulses applied to the inputs of the position indicators of the minute hand 8 and hours 12 when the switches are in a first position referenced a , or the pulses delivered by the electronic means of management 22 when the switches are in a second position referenced b .
  • Electronic management means can be advantageously produced in the form of a circuit integrated with a programmed microcontroller.
  • the man of the trade will know, from the indications provided here, programming the microcontroller, so that make him perform the functions described.
  • the means management electronics are inactive and the motors 18, 20 receive the pulses applied to the inputs of the position indicators for the minute hands and hours 8, 12.
  • the table or flowchart in Figure 2 includes seven drawings or stages (referenced from A to G) representing each one of the different display functions that can be filled by the watch hands.
  • the arrows which connect the different stages A, ..., G and the some indications which accompany them allow to understand how you operate the control rod to select one of the different display functions.
  • step A the time correction function is activated by pulling the rod.
  • the displacement towards the outside of the rod causes the transmission by the interpretation circuit 24 (FIG. 1) of a signal towards the input EN of the electronic management means 22.
  • the reception of this signal by the electronic means of management 22 causes switches 26, 28 to pass into state b .
  • the electronic management means 22 emit a high signal on the reset line of the second position counter 6 to keep it at zero so that it no longer provides the signal for incrementing the hand position counters 8 minutes and 12 hours.
  • the interpretation circuit 24 then sends pulses corresponding to the different rotational movements printed on the rod by the user towards the inputs D + , D - electronic management means 22 which in turn send control pulses to increment or decrement the position counters of the 8 and 12 hour hands and to simultaneously control the motors 18, 20 to move the hands.
  • the interpretation circuit 24 supplies a deactivation signal to the electronic management means 22 which in turn supply a signal by their output C for switch switches 26, 28 to state a . Simultaneously the signal on the reset line returns to zero and the position counter of the second hand 6 starts again.
  • the timepiece described here is intended to perform a function of awakening.
  • it includes two counters 27, 29 (figure 1) to memorize the position of the minute hand and the hour hand corresponding to the alarm time, and a acoustic signal synthesizer circuit 30, which is linked to electronic management means 22.
  • the display of information other than time indications by means of the two hands in overlapping positions is particularly advantageous. Indeed, on the one hand this display mode is particularly readable, and on the other hand, it cannot be confused with an indication of time.
  • the electronic management means 22 When the watch is in the normal time display mode A (FIG. 2), and the interpretation circuit 24 (FIG. 1) transmits towards the input AN of the electronic management means 22 a signal activation corresponding to a pressure exerted on the rod, the electronic management means 22 emit a signal on their output C to place the switches 26 and 28 in state b (FIG. 1), that is to say block the pulses corresponding to counters 8 and 12, and simultaneously, read the content of counters 8 and 12 to know the position of the minute and hour hands. They then emit the number of pulses required on the outputs Mmn and Mh to cause the hands to overlap in the position corresponding to the alarm indication on the dial as shown in step C (this does not affect the operation of the counters 6, 8 and 12).
  • the electronic management means cause the hands to be superimposed above the "alarm" indication by emitting a number of pulses equal to the number of pulses that would be required to make the contents of counters 8 and 12 both equal to 45.
  • the electronic management means 22 Once the electronic management means 22 have brought the two needles to the position which indicates entering alarm mode, these remain in a mode wait until they have determined, by counting 1 Hz pulses from the division chain 4, that two seconds had passed. If these two seconds have passed without the control rod having been actuated, the electronic management means will display the alarm activation status by the watch, step D ( Figure 2).
  • An alarm clock timepiece always includes a means of activating and deactivating the alarm signal acoustic.
  • the alarm of a room alarm clock is activated, this means that this last will beep as soon as the time displayed by the hands in normal display mode of the time coincides with the programmed alarm time. If the alarm signal is on the contrary deactivated, no signal acoustic will not be emitted even if the time displayed by the hands coincide with the programmed alarm time.
  • these are the means management electronics 22 which are set by the user either in a state in which the alarm is activated, or in a state in which it is disabled.
  • the means management electronics 22 issue the number of pulses required on the outputs Mmn and Mh for cause the needles to move together either up the "ON" position, ie up to the "OFF" position corresponding respectively to 8h and 10h on the dial, depending on whether the alarm is activated or deactivated.
  • the position taken by the two needles superimposed on the dial gives the user information perfectly clear about the state of the alarm of the watch, moreover this information also cannot be confused with a time indication.
  • step D the user can change alarm status by simply pressing the stem.
  • the interpretation circuit 24 transmits an impulse to the electronic management means 22 indicating that pressure was exerted on the rod, these emit the required number of pulses to move the two needles simultaneously the "ON" position to the “OFF” position or vice versa depending on the case.
  • step F When from the moment the needles are immobilized either on “ON” or on “OFF” depending on whether the alarm is activated or deactivated, no pressure has been been exerted on the rod for a period of three seconds the electronic management means 22 control moving needles to fill them the alarm time display function preprogrammed, step F ( Figure 2).
  • the respective positions of the minute hand and that of the hours when these indicate the hour are stored in the counters 27, 29 alarm time.
  • the electronic management means 22 will read the content counters 27, 29 and bring the needles into the positions corresponding to the content of these counters, in providing each of the motors with a number of pulses equal to the difference between the hour counter state corresponding alarm, and the value 40 or 50 depending on whether the needles were previously in the position "ON" or in the "OFF" position.
  • the user has a period of five seconds during which he can pull the rod to correct the alarm time in step G.
  • the correction of the alarm time is similar to the normal time correction described above.
  • the interpretation circuit 24 sends to the means management electronics 22 a signal that has two functions, its first function is to activate the alarm, so that an acoustic signal is emitted as soon as the hour and hour hand position counters minutes will coincide with the hour counters alarm.
  • the second function of the signal is to make by electronic management means 22, the hands in normal time display mode, step A, the electronic management means 22 calculate the number of pulses needed to achieve this operation by comparing the content of the counters of position of hands 8, 12 with the hour counters alarm 27, 29.
  • an acoustic signal is, as we have already said, issued as soon as the content of the position counters of hands 8, 12 corresponds to the content of the counters of alarm time 27, 29.
  • the user can then interrupt the emission of the acoustic alarm signal by exerting pressure on the rod.
  • the pressure on the rod causes the emission by the circuit of interpretation 24 towards electronic means management 22 of a signal to firstly interrupt the acoustic signal, and on the other hand deactivate the alarm which therefore, in the absence of further manipulation by the user, will not emit any acoustic signal when the next coincidence between the contents of the counters of position of hands 8, 12 and the hour counters alarm 27, 29 twelve hours later.
  • the alarm watch which has just been described does not constitutes, as we have already said, that a mode particular embodiment of the present invention that we have given here as an example.
  • the invention as as defined by claim 1 relates to all analog timepieces that can display a information other than an indication of time using the needles. For information other than an indication time can be displayed in the way that characterizes the present invention it is only necessary on the one hand this information can be translated into a numerical value, and secondly that the means management electronics can have access to this numerical value.
  • FIG. 4 shows in the form of a block diagram a watch with an hour hand and a minute hand and can indicate either the time of conventional way be the date in the way which characterizes the present invention.
  • This watch includes a crystal oscillator 2 and a chain of division and counting similar to that which has been described above in relation to Figure 1.
  • the watch shown at Figure 4 also includes a divider by two referenced 32 receiving the signal from the position counter of the hour hand, and a position counter of the date 34 whose input is connected to the output of the divider 32.
  • the date position counter 34 and similar to counter 6, 8 and 12 and its mode of operation therefore also corresponds to that which is described by the diagram in figure 3.
  • the interpretation circuit 24 transmits towards the input AN of the electronic management means 22 a signal d 'activation.
  • This signal causes the means 22 to send a signal to their output C to place switches 26 and 28 in state b , that is to say block the pulses corresponding to counters 8 and 12.
  • the electronic management means 22 read the content of the minute hand position counter 8 and that of the hour hand position counter 12 to compare it with the content of the date position counter 34 to determine the number of steps to have each of the motors carried out in order to cause the two hands to be superimposed on the dial opposite the number corresponding to the day of the month, that is to say to the calendar, in accordance with what is shown in FIG. 5 (this does not affect the operation of counters 6, 8, 12, 34).
  • the position counter of calendar 34 works similarly to the others position counters 6, 8 and 12.
  • the position counter of the date is therefore in particular a counter by sixty, to be reset manually at the end of each 28, 29, 30 or 31 day months.
  • the interpretation circuit 24 When the watch is in the date display mode and the user exerts traction on the stem, the interpretation circuit 24 emits a signal towards the input EN of the electronic management means 22 to pass them through the update mode. The interpretation circuit 24 then transmits to the inputs D + and D - means 22 signals corresponding to the different rotational movements printed on the rod by the user. These signals cause the date position counter 34 to increment or de-increment and simultaneously move the two hands to superimposed positions forwards or backwards. When at the end of the updating operation the user pushes the rod back, the interpretation circuit 24 emits a signal in the direction of the electronic management means 22. The means 22 will then first read the content counters 8 and 12 to bring the hands to the position corresponding to the time it is, then place the switches 26 and 28 in state a .
