  • the invention as illustrated, relates more particularly to the regulation of a clock resonator with action on the active length of a hairspring.
  • the present invention consists in varying the active length of the hairspring, and therefore its rigidity.
  • the limitation of the active length of a hairspring is known by the use of a pinning mechanism, comprising a racket carrying two pins between which the hairspring passes, the limitation of the active length resulting from the contact of the hairspring with at least one of these pins.
  • a first simple solution is to arrange the pair of racket pins so as to pivot between two different contact positions where the two pins pinch the outer turn of the hairspring to vary the length active, as visible on the figure 2 . (This also gives rise to a slight rotation of the hairspring which can help the self-starting, in this case, the active length is varied in a binary manner and the rest point is modified, so two parameters).
  • a second solution is to equip the hairspring of a structure having a housing adapted to receive at least one pin, or the two pins if the racket has two, this integral structure of the hairspring locks with the pins, as visible on the figure 3 .
  • This variation is binary. It is also possible to change the active length, according to a similar principle, in a number of steps defined by as many non-locking elastic notches on the turn, each arranged to cooperate, or with a single pin, or with a couple of pins classic.

  • magnets can be advantageously used to vary the active length of the hairspring.
  • layers or electrostatic elements may be implemented to vary the active length of the hairspring. It is even conceivable, in a hybrid system environment, to be able to modify the rigidity of a hairspring by covering it partially or completely with a piezoelectric layer activated by a small electronic module.
  • a parametric escapement with a connecting rod-crank system makes it possible to periodically move the racket pin or pins, or the racket itself, or such flexible blades.
  • the excitation at double the frequency can be carried out by a periodic multi-frequency signal, that is to say a superposition of sinusoidal signals, or by a signal square (step-function).
  • a superposition of sinusoidal signals is performed whose frequencies are even multiples of the frequency of the resonator.
