Description

Domaine de l'inventionField of the invention

L'invention concerne un mécanisme d'affichage de phase de lune comportant une roue de commande entraînée par un mouvement, laquelle entraîne un disque de phase de lune derrière un guichet d'un cadran.A moon phase display mechanism includes a motion-driven control wheel that drives a moon phase disk behind a window of a dial.

L'invention concerne encore une montre ou pièce d'horlogerie comportant un mouvement.The invention also relates to a watch or timepiece comprising a movement.

L'invention concerne le domaine des complications pour pièces d'horlogerie, en particulier des complications astronomiques.The invention relates to the field of complications for timepieces, in particular astronomical complications.

Arrière-plan de l'inventionBackground of the invention

L'affichage des phases de lune est une complication prisée en horlogerie.The display of moon phases is a popular complication in watchmaking.

Néanmoins les mécanismes connus prennent mal en compte l'affichage correct valable à la fois pour l'hémisphère Nord et l'hémisphère Sud. En effet, le croissant visible dans un hémisphère ne correspond pas à celui de l'autre hémisphère, mais à son image miroir. Sur une double lune, il est peu aisé de faire la bonne lecture.Nevertheless, the known mechanisms do not take into account the correct display valid for both the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere. Indeed, the crescent visible in one hemisphere does not correspond to that of the other hemisphere, but to its mirror image. On a double moon, it is not easy to make the right reading.

Résumé de l'inventionSummary of the invention

L'invention se propose de procurer une lecture directe, ne nécessitant aucune interprétation, pour un observateur de l'hémisphère Nord ou pour un observateur de l'hémisphère Sud, et à l'aide d'un mécanisme simple, permettant de conserver une des positions, et d'en changer à volonté.The invention proposes to provide a direct reading, requiring no interpretation, for an observer of the Northern Hemisphere or for an observer of the Southern Hemisphere, and with the aid of a simple mechanism, making it possible to preserve one of the positions, and to change at will.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un mécanisme d'affichage de phase de lune comportant une roue de commande entraînée par un mouvement, laquelle entraîne un disque de phase de lune derrière un guichet d'un cadran, selon la revendication 1.To this end, the invention relates to a moon phase display mechanism comprising a control wheel driven by a movement, which causes a moon phase disk behind a window of a dial, according to claim 1.

L'invention concerne encore une montre ou pièce d'horlogerie comportant un mouvement, selon la revendication 5.The invention also relates to a watch or timepiece comprising a movement, according to claim 5.

Description détaillée des modes de réalisation préférésDetailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments

L'invention concerne un mécanisme d'affichage de phase de lune 1 pour montre ou pièce d'horlogerie.The invention relates to a moon phase display mechanism 1 for a watch or a timepiece.

Le mécanisme complet d'affichage comporte, de façon connue, une roue entraîneuse traditionnelle, dite roue de lune (généralement à 59 dents), fonctionnant par pas ou traînante, non représentée sur les figures, qui est agencée pour entraîner deux roues d'indication de phase 100 et 110, qui tournent en sens inverse l'une de l'autre, grâce à l'adjonction d'un renvoi, non représenté, pour l'entraînement de l'une de ces deux roues 100, 110.The complete display mechanism comprises, in known manner, a conventional driving wheel, called moon wheel (generally 59 teeth), operating in steps or trailing, not shown in the figures, which is arranged to drive two phase indicating wheels 100 and 110, which rotate in opposite directions to each other, by the addition of a reference, not shown, for driving one of these two wheels 100, 110.

Chacune des deux roues d'indication de phase 100 et 110 porte une came, respectivement 90, 80, permettant un retour à zéro. De façon avantageuse, et tel que représenté sur les figures, ces cames 80, 90, sont des cames-coeur analogues à celles utilisées dans un mécanisme de chronographe ou de changement de fuseau horaire.Each of the two phase indication wheels 100 and 110 carries a cam, respectively 90, 80, allowing a return to zero. Advantageously, and as shown in the figures, these cams 80, 90 are heart-cams similar to those used in a chronograph or time zone change mechanism.

Le mécanisme d'affichage de phase de lune 1 comporte ainsi, coaxiales selon un axe de pivotement D commun, et superposées l'une à l'autre:

  • une première roue d'indication de phase 110 porteuse d'une première came-coeur 80 par l'intermédiaire d'un canon 111;
  • une deuxième roue d'indication de phase 100, comportant un alésage 101 par lequel passe le canon 111, et directement porteuse d'une deuxième came-coeur 90.
The moon phase display mechanism 1 thus comprises, coaxial along a common pivot axis D, and superimposed on one another:
  • a first phase indication wheel 110 carrying a first cam-core 80 via a barrel 111;
  • a second phase indication wheel 100, having a bore 101 through which the barrel 111 passes, and directly carrying a second cam-core 90.

Le mécanisme d'affichage de phase de lune 1 comporte encore, axés sur le même axe D :

  • une roue de commande 30 porteuse d'un ensemble de leviers agencés pour coopérer avec les cames 80 et 90 ;
  • un disque de phase de lune 20 entraîné en pivotement par la roue de commande 30;
  • un cadran d'affichage de phase de lune 10 comportant un guichet 11 derrière lequel défile le disque de phase de lune 20.
The moon phase display mechanism 1 further comprises, centered on the same axis D:
  • a control wheel 30 carrying a set of levers arranged to cooperate with the cams 80 and 90;
  • a moon phase disk 20 pivotally driven by the control wheel 30;
  • a moon phase display dial 10 having a window 11 behind which scrolls the moon phase disk 20.

La roue de commande 30 est reliée alternativement, par un levier double 40 à deux palpeurs ou rouleaux, pour venir prendre l'information alternativement sur l'une ou l'autre des deux cames 80 ou 90, soit Nord ou Sud.The control wheel 30 is connected alternately, by a double lever 40 to two feelers or rollers, to come to take the information alternately on one or other of the two cams 80 or 90, either North or South.

Le changement hémisphérique se fait par la roue de commande 30 fonctionnant en roue libre, mais qui est maintenue élastiquement par un premier ressort 70 positionné et fixé par des goupilles 74, 75, ou similaire, sous le disque de phase de lune 20. Ce premier ressort 70 a une mobilité restreinte dans une découpe 32 de la roue de commande 30, et il comporte un doigt 71, agencé pour accrocher un bec 33 de la roue de commande 30.The hemispherical change is made by the control wheel 30 operating in freewheel, but which is held elastically by a first spring 70 positioned and fixed by pins 74, 75, or the like, under the moon phase disk 20. This first spring 70 has a restricted mobility in a cut 32 of the control wheel 30, and it comprises a finger 71, arranged to hang a spout 33 of the control wheel 30.

La roue de commande 30 comporte une lumière oblongue 31, de préférence annulaire autour de l'axe D, et dans laquelle est mobile un tourillon 48 que comporte le levier double 40. Un alésage 44 du tourillon 48 guide une goupille 41, ou similaire, fixée au disque de phase de lune 20 au niveau d'un alésage 21.The control wheel 30 has an oblong slot 31, preferably annular about the axis D, and in which is movable a pin 48 that comprises the double lever 40. A bore 44 of the pin 48 guides a pin 41, or the like, attached to the moon phase disk 20 at a bore 21.

Le mouvement de pivotement relatif entre la rue de commande 30 et le disque de phase de lune 20 est donc limité par le débattement du tourillon 48 dans la lumière oblongue 31.The relative pivoting movement between the control street 30 and the moon phase disk 20 is thus limited by the displacement of the pin 48 in the oblong slot 31.

Le levier double 40 comporte, sur deux plans différents et parallèles :

  • un bras inférieur 43, porteur d'un marteau 42, lequel est agencé pour coopérer avec la deuxième came-coeur 90 ;
  • un bras supérieur 53, porteur d'un marteau 54, lequel est agencé pour coopérer avec la première came-coeur 80 ;
The double lever 40 comprises, on two different and parallel planes:
  • a lower arm 43 carrying a hammer 42, which is arranged to cooperate with the second cam-core 90;
  • an upper arm 53, carrying a hammer 54, which is arranged to cooperate with the first cam-core 80;

Ce levier double 40 comporte encore un bras de rappel 51, articulé par un axe 63 à l'extrémité d'un deuxième ressort 60 fixé à la roue de commande 30, ici par des goupilles 63, 64, ou similaire.This double lever 40 further comprises a return arm 51, articulated by an axis 63 at the end of a second spring 60 fixed to the control wheel 30, here by pins 63, 64, or similar.

Le mécanisme d'affichage de phase de lune 1 effectue, à un instant donné, l'affichage de lune dans un seul hémisphère, ce qui évite à l'utilisateur toute interprétation.The moon phase display mechanism 1 performs, at a given time, the moon display in a single hemisphere, which avoids the user any interpretation.

L'utilisateur commande par un moyen de commande 500 classique, tel qu'un poussoir, une targette, ou similaire, l'appel de l'autre hémisphère, et le mécanisme 1 reste à chaque fois immobilisé dans la nouvelle position: hémisphère Nord ou Sud. De préférence, ce moyen de commande 500 est actionné à l'encontre d'un moyen de rappel élastique tel qu'un ressort, et une navette qu'il commande est immobilisée par des moyens de verrouillage réversibles, à la façon d'un stylo-bille. Ainsi, avantageusement, le circuit de commande de sélection d'hémisphère permet aussi d'indiquer, de façon connue, par un affichage séparé, l'hémisphère dans lequel la phase de lune est maintenant visualisée après la manoeuvre du moyen de commande 500. La figure 11 illustre un exemple non limitatif où une aiguille 502 indique, dans un guichet 501, la présence d'une phase de lune hémisphère Nord ou Sud.The user controls by a conventional control means 500, such as a pusher, a bolt, or the like, the call of the other hemisphere, and the mechanism 1 remains each time immobilized in the new position: northern hemisphere or South. Preferably, this control means 500 is actuated against an elastic return means such as a spring, and a shuttle that it controls is immobilized by reversible locking means, in the manner of a pen. -ball. Thus, advantageously, the hemisphere selection control circuit also makes it possible to indicate, in known manner, by a separate display, the hemisphere in which the moon phase is now displayed after the operation of the control means 500. figure 11 illustrates a non-limiting example where a needle 502 indicates, in a window 501, the presence of a moon phase northern or southern hemisphere.

L'action d'un tel moyen de commande 500 déclenche le pivotement de la roue de commande 30. On comprend que cette action sur le moyen de commande 500 est réversible: deux actions successives sur le moyen de commande 500 ont pour effet de faire pivoter la roue de commande 30 dans deux sens opposés.The action of such a control means 500 triggers the pivoting of the control wheel 30. It is understood that this action on the control means 500 is reversible: two successive actions on the control means 500 have the effect of rotating the control wheel 30 in two opposite directions.

En position de repos du mécanisme 1, c'est-à-dire quand il n'est pas activé, la sélection est faite pour un hémisphère donné, et la combinaison des moyens décrits ci-dessus est telle que l'un des marteaux 42, 54, du levier double 40 est et reste en appui sur une partie méplate 82, 92, que comporte le coeur concerné 80, 90. Et l'entraînement de la première roue d'indication de phase 110 ou de la deuxième roue d'indication de phase 100 par la roue de lune entraînée par un mouvement d'horlogerie 900 permet d'exercer un couple sur le levier double 40, tel que son tourillon 48 est maintenu en appui à une extrémité de la lumière oblongue 31 de la roue de commande 30. Le doigt 71 du premier ressort 70 est alors en arrêt d'un premier côté du bec 33 de la roue de commande 30.Le disque de phase de lune 20 est alors entraîné, sans jeu, dans un premier sens de pivotement.In the rest position of the mechanism 1, that is to say when it is not activated, the selection is made for a given hemisphere, and the combination of the means described above is such that one of the hammers 42, 54 of the double lever 40 is and remains resting on a flat portion 82, 92, that includes the heart concerned 80, 90. And the drive of the first wheel of phase indication 110 or the second phase indication wheel 100 by the moonwheel driven by a clockwork movement 900 makes it possible to exert a torque on the double lever 40, such that its journal 48 is maintained in support at one end of the oblong slot 31 of the control wheel 30. The finger 71 of the first spring 70 is then stopped from a first side of the nose 33 of the control wheel 30.The moon phase disc 20 is then driven, without play, in a first direction of pivoting.

Lors du déclenchement du moyen de commande 500 par l'utilisateur, l'action a pour effet d'imprimer à la roue de commande 30 un pivotement de sens inverse au sens précédent, et le tourillon 48 est déplacé à l'autre extrémité de la lumière oblongue 31, ce qui a pour effet de faire pivoter le levier double 40 à l'encontre du deuxième ressort 60 qui le maintenait jusqu'alors en position sur un des coeurs 80, 90, de façon à ce que l'autre des marteaux 54, 42, vienne en appui sur l'autre coeur 90, 80, recherche le contact avec sa partie méplate 92, 82, et assure alors l'entraînement en sens inverse de la roue de commande 30, tout en faisant sauter le premier ressort 70, dont le doigt 71 franchit le bec 33 pour rester en appui maintenu sur un deuxième côté de celui-ci. Et la roue de commande 30 entraîne ensuite régulièrement le disque de phase de lune 20 en pivotement inverse, après le rattrapage de position.When the control means 500 is triggered by the user, the action has the effect of impressing the control wheel 30 with a rotation in the opposite direction in the preceding sense, and the journal 48 is moved to the other end of the oblong slot 31, which has the effect of pivoting the double lever 40 against the second spring 60 which held until now in position on one of the hearts 80, 90, so that the other hammers 54, 42, bears on the other core 90, 80, seeks contact with its flat portion 92, 82, and then provides the drive in the opposite direction of the control wheel 30, while blowing the first spring 70, whose finger 71 cross the spout 33 to remain supported on a second side of it. And the control wheel 30 then regularly drives the moon phase disk 20 in reverse pivoting, after position correction.

Une action ultérieure sur le moyen de commande 500 déclenche la manoeuvre inverse.Subsequent action on the control means 500 triggers the reverse maneuver.

Le mécanisme d'affichage 1 selon l'invention est particulièrement stable, sans nécessiter de surface de friction particulière: le couple fourni par le mouvement 900 à la roue de lune est suffisamment important pour garantir l'entraînement permanent d'un des bras 43, 53, du levier double 40 par le coeur 80, 90, qui lui correspond, et l'effort de poussée transmis à la roue de commande 30 par le moyen de commande permet de franchir le cran correspondant au passage du bec 33 par le doigt 71.The display mechanism 1 according to the invention is particularly stable, without requiring any particular friction surface: the torque provided by the movement 900 to the moon wheel is large enough to guarantee the permanent drive of one of the arms 43, 53, the double lever 40 by the heart 80, 90, which corresponds to it, and the thrust force transmitted to the control wheel 30 by the control means allows to cross the notch corresponding to the passage of the nozzle 33 by the finger 71 .

En somme, ce mécanisme simple, peu encombrant, offre une fonctionnalité nouvelle et avantageuse pour l'utilisateur. Il est entraîné très classiquement par une roue de lune, et peut se substituer facilement à tout mécanisme d'affichage de phase de lune usuel, la seule modification importante consistant à l'équipement d'une montre 1000, qui intègre le mouvement 900 et le mécanisme 1, par l'incorporation du moyen de commande 500, tels par exemple que ceux utilisés pour un mécanisme GMT de modification de fuseau horaire.In short, this simple, space-saving mechanism offers a new and advantageous functionality for the user. It is very conventionally driven by a moonwheel, and can easily be substituted for any conventional moon phase display mechanism, the only major modification being the equipment a watch 1000, which integrates the movement 900 and the mechanism 1, by the incorporation of the control means 500, such as those used for a GMT mechanism for changing the time zone.
