Description
L'invention concerne un mouvement d'horlogerie, comportant un mécanisme comportant au moins un élément inertiel agencé pour osciller ou pivoter autour d'un premier axe de pivotement par rapport à une structure dudit mouvement, et agencé pour coopérer directement ou indirectement avec au moins un mobile distributeur d'énergie pivotant par rapport à ladite structure autour d'un deuxième axe de pivotement parallèle ou confondu avec ledit premier axe de pivotement et soumis à un couple exercé par au moins une source d'énergie.The invention relates to a clockwork movement, comprising a mechanism comprising at least one inertial element arranged to oscillate or pivot about a first axis of pivot relative to a structure of said movement, and arranged to cooperate directly or indirectly with at least a mobile energy distributor pivoting relative to said structure about a second pivot axis parallel to or coincident with said first pivot axis and subjected to a torque exerted by at least one energy source.
L'invention concerne encore une montre comportant au moins un tel mouvement.The invention also relates to a watch comprising at least one such movement.
L'invention concerne le domaine des mécanismes d'horlogerie, en particuliers de ceux qui sont sensibles aux mouvements de l'utilisateur ou de l'appareil qui les porte, et dont le fonctionnement est sensible aux accélérations liées aux circonstances du porté, comme des vols en avion, des mouvements brusques ou encore des chutes. L'invention trouve un intérêt tout particulier pour assurer une protection à des résonateurs, des régulateurs, ou des organes moteurs.The invention relates to the field of watch mechanisms, in particular those that are sensitive to the movements of the user or the device that carries them, and whose operation is sensitive to accelerations related to the circumstances of the worn, such as flights, sudden movements or falls. The invention finds a particular interest for providing protection to resonators, regulators, or drive members.
Dans un mécanisme d'échappement classique d'horlogerie, de type ancre suisse, la roue d'échappement a un mouvement de rotation variable: lors de chaque alternance, elle est initialement bloquée par l'ancre, puis brièvement accélérée par le couple appliqué par le barillet, et finalement à nouveau bloquée. Ces longues phases en position bloquée confèrent à ce type d'échappement une grande robustesse aux accélérations de rotation dues au porté.In a classic Swiss-anchor escapement mechanism, the escapement wheel has a variable rotational movement: at each alternation, it is initially blocked by the anchor, then briefly accelerated by the torque applied by the barrel, and finally blocked again. These long phases in locked position give this type of exhaust a great robustness to rotational accelerations due to the worn.
Certains échappements, tels que l'échappement de Clifford, ou l'échappement magnétique à synchronisation directe, nécessitent que la roue d'échappement tourne à vitesse quasi constante, sans phase d'immobilisation. Cette rotation continue présente de nombreux avantages, en particulier une augmentation du rendement énergétique de l'échappement, car il n'est plus nécessaire d'accélérer la roue d'échappement à chaque alternance. En revanche, ces systèmes peuvent devenir sensibles aux accélérations de rotation dues au porté, car la roue d'échappement a forcément une certaine inertie. Dans un cas particulièrement défavorable, une accélération due au porté s'opposant à la rotation normale de la roue peut l'arrêter temporairement, voire définitivement si l'échappement n'est pas auto-démarrant.Some escapements, such as the Clifford escapement, or the direct synchronization magnetic escapement, require the escape wheel to rotate at a near constant speed, with no downtime. This continuous rotation has many advantages, in particular an increase in the energy efficiency of the exhaust, because it is no longer necessary to accelerate the escape wheel at each alternation. On the other hand, these systems can become sensitive to rotational accelerations due to the wear, because the escape wheel necessarily has a certain inertia. In one case particularly disadvantageous, an acceleration due to the bearing against the normal rotation of the wheel can stop temporarily or permanently if the exhaust is not self-starting.
Ce problème de sensibilité au porté n'a pas été efficacement résolu dans le cas de l'échappement de Clifford. Il a plutôt été choisi d'utiliser un tel échappement dans une pièce d'horlogerie statique, tel une horloge ou un réveil de table, qui par définition ne subit aucune accélération due au porté.This bearing sensitivity problem was not effectively solved in the case of Clifford's escape. Rather, it has been chosen to use such an escapement in a static timepiece, such as a clock or a table alarm clock, which by definition does not undergo any acceleration due to the worn.
L'invention se propose d'apporter une solution simple, de coût réduit, au problème récurrent de la protection contre les accélérations indésirables et perturbatrices de la marche ou du bon fonctionnement des mécanismes horlogers.The invention proposes to provide a simple solution, low cost, the recurring problem of protection against unwanted and disruptive accelerations of walking or the proper functioning of the watch mechanisms.
En particulier dans les échappements dont la roue d'échappement tourne à vitesse constante, l'invention consiste à ajouter au moins un mobile d'inertie équivalente à celle du mobile d'échappement, mais tournant en sens opposé afin de rejeter les accélérations de rotation dues au porté.In particular in the escapements whose escape wheel rotates at a constant speed, the invention consists in adding at least one mobile of inertia equivalent to that of the mobile escapement, but rotating in the opposite direction in order to reject the rotational accelerations. due to the worn.

L'invention concerne encore une montre 2000 comportant au moins un tel mouvement 1000. Naturellement, cette montre peut être une montre-bracelet, une montre de poche, ou encore une montre de véhicule, aéronef, voiture, navire, par exemple un chronomètre de marine, ou autre.The invention also relates to a
L'invention permet une transformation économique de mouvements existants, par rajout de mobiles d'inertie. Elle s'accommode de l'espace disponible, puisqu'il n'est pas indispensable d'avoir un mobile d'inertie unique, et il est possible, avec des jeux de renvois, de tirer le meilleur parti de zones encore disponibles au sein de la boîte de montre.The invention allows an economic transformation of existing movements, by addition of mobile inertia. It accommodates the available space, since it is not essential to have a single mobile of inertia, and it is possible, with games of referrals, to make the most of areas still available within of the watch box.
En somme, pour le cas particulier d'un mécanisme d'échappement, l'invention propose d'ajouter sur le train de rouage un mobile d'inertie de rotation équivalente à celle de la roue d'échappement, tournant à la même vitesse mais dans le sens opposé à celle-ci et qui engrène en permanence avec la roue d'échappement.In short, for the particular case of an escape mechanism, the invention proposes adding to the train of gear a mobile of rotational inertia equivalent to that of the escape wheel, rotating at the same speed but in the opposite direction to it and which meshes permanently with the escape wheel.
Dans un mode de réalisation particulier selon la
Il est théoriquement possible de placer le mobile d'inertie plus haut dans le train de rouage, autrement dit plus proche du barillet, mais en pratique l'inertie devrait devenir très grande pour compenser le fait que cette inertie serait rapportée au pignon du mobile d'échappement (et non plus à la roue), et les problèmes de rattrapage de jeu sont alors plus complexes.It is theoretically possible to place the mobile inertia higher in the gear train, ie closer to the barrel, but in practice the inertia should become very large to compensate for the fact that this inertia would be reported at the pinion of the mobile escapement (and no longer at the wheel), and game catch-up problems are then more complex.
L'invention procure, quand l'inertie du mobile distributeur d'énergie est équivalente à l'inertie totale de l'ensemble des mobiles d'inertie associés à celui-ci, une très grande résistance aux accélérations externes, notamment aux accélérations angulaires liées au porté.et de l'ensemble.The invention provides, when the inertia of the mobile energy distributor is equivalent to the total inertia of all the inertial mobiles associated with it, a very high resistance to external accelerations, including angular accelerations related to the wearer and the set.
