Description

Technical field

The invention relates to chronology, to a mechanical watch with an arrow indicating the time of the current time, and can be used in the manufacture and use of original unusual mysterious watches, desktop or pocket watches, pendants, pendants, jewelry, devices and items with a mechanical calculation of time with a tourbillon.

State of the art

The idea of creating and using mysterious watches (mystery watches, mystical watches, mysterywatch), the principle of which is not clear at first glance, has long attracted watchmakers and consumers. For almost two centuries, attempts have been made to invent transparent mechanical watches, but so far only only bulky table clocks or relatively large pocket and wrist mechanical watches have been created transparent.

An unusual way of arrow indication, creating the effect that the viewer sees a completely transparent dial with hands fixed on it, correctly indicating the time, without observing any mechanism rotating them, was first invented and created by the French watchmaker and illusionist Jean Eugene Robert-Uden (Jean- Eugene Robert-Houdin), who is considered the founder of modern illusion magic.

His watch, first shown at the French Industrial Exhibition in 1839, was a bronze case-base, on which there was a transparent crystal dial, above which, as if hanging in the air, arrows drawn on glass disks, which moved as if by themselves without any there was no visible mechanism.

In fact, the movement on the crystal dial was transmitted in this watch from the mechanism located in the upper part of the case through a system of gears and screw rods.

Later, watch manufactories, including Cartier and LeCoultre, began to produce such transparent mechanical table clocks, in particular, Cartier manufactory, starting in 1912, they released only about 30 table clocks, the distinguishing feature of which was absolutely transparent rock crystal case with a mechanism hidden in a gold bezel of the dial.

Known pocket antique watches Mysterieuse (Riddle), France, the 19th century, a case made of silver with a diameter of 53 mm, a mechanism with a cylindrical stroke. It is assumed that the Mysterieuse watch was created to surprise, make you think: how can it work? This is a pocket watch with glass, completely transparent walls, arrows are moving in the center of the dial, and the mechanism is not visible. The question arises: due to what forces and mechanisms does the movement of arrows occur? It turns out that the hands in this watch are motionless, and the two thinnest glasses rotate, on one of which the hour hand is fixed, on the other - the minute hand. These thin glasses drive a mechanism located in a narrow rim of the housing. The third fixed glass is a dial [1].

The pocket mysterious watches of the company Armand Schwob and brothers (Armand Schwob & Freres) are known - the watches were produced for the Chinese and European markets around 1890 (moon phase). This mysterious watch version has a crescent-shaped mechanism hidden under the bezel of the watch case, which rotates the transparent glass disks located between the glass of the dial with the arrows fixed on them. The model was patented by Arman Schwob [2].

The disadvantage of this model is the significant thickness of the movement with the dial due to the use of six transparent discs in this watch, which significantly degrades the performance of the watch, especially in the case of a watch design. In addition, the hands in this watch are translated by rotating the minute hand with a finger, since there is no hand translation unit.

Thus, to this day there is still an unresolved problem of creating simple in design and cheap in the production of transparent mechanical watches of small size.

Until recently, Swiss watchmakers believed that the idea of transparent wristwatches was unthinkable to realize, but now large-sized wristwatches with an invisible mechanism and hands hanging in the air have begun to appear and be produced, which is perceived as very unusual and mysterious.

One of the most popular mysterious watches today is the “Mysterious Cardinal” watch of the Quinting manufactory - a watch with a transparent spectacular dial, a quartz drive and a mechanism made of transparent sapphire [3].

The Mysterious Cardinal mechanism is a system consisting of 7 parallel transparent sapphire discs, pre-metallized and coated with anti-reflective coating. This complex mechanism contains 3 fixed and 4 rotating transparent sapphire discs, which set in motion the hands of the minutes, hours and date indicator, as well as the hand of a small second dial, which is at 6 o’clock. Despite such a number of sapphire layers (only 9 - 7 in the mechanism and 2 protective ones), the Mysterious Cardinal watch in the area of the dial is absolutely transparent.

With its original appearance, this watch is distinguished by its relatively large dimensions - 43.8 mm in diameter (without crown) and 14 mm thick, and also very difficult to manufacture, since sapphire is very hard and can be processed with diamond tools.

The absolute transparency of the sapphire movement and the dial, encased in precious metal and precious stones, makes the Quinting watch unique in appearance, but very difficult to manufacture and very expensive luxury goods.

The Louis Vuitton fashion house has announced the Tambour Mysterieuse LV 115, which is considered one of the most complex of transparent watches, in which the hours and minutes are traditionally displayed using sapphire dials with arrows printed on them, and an opaque mechanism encrusted with precious stones is located in the center of the case and as if "floating" in it. It is noted that the creation of each instance of a Tambour Mysterieuse LV 115 watch takes one year, it is made individually for each customer, the watch case can be made of platinum or gold - white, yellow, red, and its case diameter - 42.55 mm , and the pre-announced price is 265,000 US dollars [4].

There is also a complex model of mysterious watches “mysterywatch”, created by the author of the application under consideration in 2008. This is a wristwatch with a transparent dial and hands rotating between its glasses, and a moving map of the starry sky. The visual effect is such that it seems to the observer that the hands soar freely in the empty watch case against the background of moving stars. The principle of operation of the watch is that under the glass of the case there are three more of the same transparent discs. A minute hand is attached to the first (upper), an hour hand to the second, and a map of the starry sky is applied to the third, lower, sapphire dial. These watches, with relatively small sizes — a diameter of 38 mm and a height of 9 mm — make 18,000 vibrations per hour and are complex in design, have 1000 stones, 1281 parts, five sapphire discs. These five transparent sapphire discs show hours, minutes, date, month and a map of the starry sky, and on the case the moon phases, power reserve indicator, time equation are separately shown. In this mechanism, sapphire discs are held around the circumference by gears, which set in motion a clock mechanism hidden under the bezel of the watch [5].

Thus, unusual solutions for the arrow indication of transparent mysterious watches are still very popular.

A transparent watch is known, the mechanism of which is stretched in a line and hidden under a decorative strip passing through the entire transparent dial. Its shortcomings can be called that the arrangement of the mechanism is still quite obvious and the observer does not have such a visual effect, as in the case when the arrows hang in the middle of the dial and rotate “by themselves” [6].

Common disadvantages of the analogue watches mentioned above are the complexity and cumbersome construction of mechanisms and the impossibility of these solutions to place their arrow system with rotating hands between two disks, which makes them practically unsuitable for use in small-sized watches.

The mysterious Leendert Prins watches are known, which contain four transparent disks - two external, fixed, and two internal rotating. The minute hand is attached or drawn on one of the internal disks, and the hour hand on the other. Rotating discs are driven by teeth located along the edges [7].

The disadvantages of this design is the lack of rotating hands, which significantly impairs the visual and operational properties of the watch, especially in the case of the design in the watch.

A later modification of the mysterious Lindert Prince clock is known using instead of two internal rotating disks one internal rotating disk. This watch uses a simplified mechanism with one rotating glass disc instead of two. The hour and minute hands are attached to one glass disc, but the minute hand is connected to a rotating gear fixed in the frame of the watch and thus disguised. In the center of the clock, a rotating shaft is attached to the minute hand, which, with the help of several gears, drives the hour hand [8].

The disadvantages of this design is the need to fasten the minute hand in the frame of the watch and thereby significantly reduces the "mysterious" visual effect, since it becomes obvious where the mechanism that drives the minute hand is hidden.

Known watches, including a case consisting of a transparent outer and rear glass of the case, one of which forms a dial, and an opaque rim of the case, inside of which are at least two transparent disks, on each of which are inscribed and / or images corresponding to measured time interval: at least hours and minutes, as well as placed under an opaque rim of the case: clockwork, gears made with the possibility of transmitting rotation from the clockwork to each of two discs and a fixing unit configured to fix each of the transparent discs, characterized in that they include at least two gears, each of which is formed by a gear wheel and the gear edge of the transparent disc and is configured to transmit rotation to its corresponding a transparent disk, while the watch case is portable, and its outer side surface is provided with at least one means of mechanical connection, and the clock mechanism includes a mechanical or electronic ektrichesky drive, and mechanical coupling means disposed on the outer side surface of the watch case is adapted to connect to a bracelet (strap) wristwatches, pocket watches with a chain or a chain with a pendant or pendants [9].

The disadvantages of this watch are the lack of rotating hands and the significant size of the case due to the use of two or more fixed and two or more movable transparent disks in this watch, as well as the presence of two gears for moving the movable disks. All this significantly worsens the visual and operational properties of the watch, especially in the case of a watch, and also significantly increases the size of the case and, accordingly, reduces the ratio of the area of the transparent dial to the area of the opaque case (the mystery effect is reduced).

Currently common mechanical watches usually contain: a spring motor, usually based on a coil spring; mechanism of the factory and the translation of the hands (in the language of watchmakers - repair); trigger (in the language of watchmakers - descent, stroke), which converts continuous rotational motion into oscillatory or reciprocating motion; oscillatory system in the form of a pendulum or a balancer (balance); a system of gears or gears connecting the spring motor and the trigger mechanism (in the language of watchmakers - engraving); dial mechanism and dial [10].

The spiral spring-based spring motor that we have chosen as the prototype for the spring motor is usually a spiral spring attached to the shaft and placed in a cylindrical drum with a serrated edge. Spinning around the axis, the spiral spring rotates the drum (inside which it is located), and its gear edge through its system of wheels, the trigger mechanism and the regulator sets in motion the switch mechanism. When winding the watch, rotating the crown through the gears rotates the shaft connected to the spring, onto which, coiling, a spiral spring is wound [10].

The main disadvantage of a spring motor based on spiral springs is the uneven speed of unwinding of the spring, which leads to inaccurate hours. Each coil spring during its unwinding changes its drive force. To eliminate this drawback, various methods have been and are being applied: the exclusion of the spring of its initial and final phases by using cam mechanisms, of which the Maltese mechanism, ring-shaped and finger cam mechanisms are known.

The variability of the drive force can also be limited by lengthening the spring and increasing the supply of its energy. However, the elongation of the spring is due to its thickness. Thin springs also require special alloys that better withstand the load and fatigue [11].

Thus, the main disadvantage of a spring motor based on spiral springs is the uneven speed of unwinding of the spiral spring, which leads to inaccurate hours. Also, a mechanical watch’s accuracy depends on many factors, such as temperature, position of the watch, wear of parts and others. Therefore, for mechanical watches, discrepancy with the exact time of 15-45 seconds per day is considered normal, and the best result is 4-5 seconds per day.

To compensate for the influence on the accuracy of the movement of the position of the clock in space (to compensate for the influence of gravity on the physical centers of gravity of watch parts and their displacement relative to the mathematical centers of gravity of watch parts), Abraham-Louis Breguet invented in 1795, and in 1801 patented a tourbillon ( Fr.Tourbillon - whirlwind). The tourbillon consists of a balance, an anchor fork and an anchor wheel located on a special rotating platform (the most common rotation speed: 1 revolution per minute). This is one of the most complex and expensive additional mechanisms with an accuracy of -1 / + 2 s per day. A tourbillon in an expensive watch is often made visible on one side through a special window in the dial [12, 13].

The main function and idea of the tourbillon is to compensate for the effect of gravity on moving and balanced parts of the mechanism, namely balance, spiral and descent, by rotating them around its own axis inside the watch case.

The tourbillon is very difficult to manufacture, Breguet himself collected only 30 of these mechanisms. Even now, a tourbillon mechanism weighing only a few carats can consist of several tens of parts and can sometimes reach hundreds. Therefore, even now, with the advent of laser precision cutting of metals and the latest methods for their processing, even the most eminent companies produce no more than 10-20 tourbillons a year.

Today, the need for such an increase in the accuracy of watches has virtually disappeared, since the watches have already become quite accurate, so the use of tourbillons remains only in the design of the most expensive of them as a tribute to high watchmaking.

Currently, there are two main schemes by which tourbillons are assembled:

The first is classic when the carriage is fixed on both sides along the axis of rotation. This method of attachment involves placing from the front of the mechanism a “bridge” of an arched structure, usually with three support points, through which the rest of the mechanism is visible. A ball bearing made of rubies is built into it.

The second type of tourbillons is soaring. Here the arched bridge is absent, and the carriage is fixed only on one side, so nothing prevents from this side to admire the work of the mechanism.

However, to date, not a single mysterious clock design is known in which the tourbillon would be completely “airy” from all sides, that is, made in air in a completely transparent space on all sides.

In particular, various brands of watches and pocket watches are known, the case of which is completely transparent in front and behind, which allows you to see the clockwork in operation; Omega tourbillons are an example of such watches [14]. Despite a certain decorative effect, which is achieved by such a watch design, although the visible clockwork mechanism, which fills the entire internal space of the case, obscures the hands and makes it difficult to quickly determine the point in time.

Creating mysterious watches (riddle watches), where there is a transparent area, the craftsmen strove, while maintaining the usual dimensions and appearance of the watch, to show the invisibility, stealth of the drive mechanism. In most known constructions, a mechanism based on a spiral spring was usually located in an opaque region of the housing, which led to the need to increase its size or deformation to form asymmetric extensions of one of the opaque parts of the housing.

A known design of a decorative desktop clock described in the application [15], which includes an asymmetric case, consisting of a transparent or translucent outer and rear glass of the case and an opaque rim of the case, inside which is a clockwork. To measure time periods and create a decorative effect, at least two transparent disks are placed inside the watch case, on each of which inscriptions and / or images are applied corresponding to the measured time interval. Under the opaque rim of the case there is a clock mechanism, gears transmitting rotation from the clock mechanism to each of the transparent disks, and a fixing unit fixing each of the transparent disks. That is, the design of the watch provides end-to-end visibility through the watch case without an overview of the movement.

This watch design does not provide for the possibility of their use as a wrist or pocket watch, in addition, the eccentric movement of transparent discs unnecessarily complicates the watch design.

Known developed by the author Chaikin K.Yu. watches with a spring motor with an ordinary round case transparent in the middle, in which to increase the accuracy of movement, reduce the size and compactness of the mysterious watch mechanism and make it possible to use it not only in relatively small men's watches, but also in small women's watches with an “air "By a pointer mechanism and with a possible" air "tourbillon in a spring-loaded clock engine containing a drum with a serrated edge, a spring placed in the drum with the possibility of rotation of the serrated edge, etc. conducting them in a clockwork movement, and motor driving means in the stress state at the factory hours, the drum is annular with a through central hole to be positioned within the movement through the central opening of the drum [16].

In this watch with a spring motor, comprising a case with transparent outer and rear windows, a clock mechanism with a spring motor, a clock winding and clock and means for indicating the time, the case is made hollow ring-shaped with a ring-shaped spring engine inside, containing a ring-shaped drum with a serrated edge with a through central hole, a spring placed in an annular drum with the possibility of rotating the gear edge of the drum and setting the clockwork and your bringing the engine spring to a tense working state when the watch is wound.

When assembling these watches, containing an annular hollow case with transparent outer and rear windows, a clock mechanism including a spring motor, clock winding and transfer means, an oscillating system, a trigger mechanism connecting the engine and the trigger gear system and a mechanism, a time indicator, spring the engine and the clock winding and transferring device are implemented as a ring-shaped spring engine module and the clock winding and transferring means, the ring-shaped spring engine and medium The plant and the clock are placed in the cavity of the ring-shaped case, and the oscillating system, the trigger mechanism connecting the engine and the trigger mechanism, the gear system and the mechanism, the time indicator are placed inside the ring-shaped module of the spring motor and the clock factory and clock.

The disadvantages of these watches, which are eliminated by the patented invention are, the complexity of manufacturing the clock engine and the limitation of the power reserve due to insufficient power of the ring spring motor.

The closest in technical essence and achieved by using the technical result analogue (prototype) are K.U. Chaykin, previously developed by the author. mysterious watches that, to increase the visual attractiveness of the watch while increasing the functionality of the dial indication system and reducing the size of the watch mechanism, include a case made of transparent front glass, a transparent back glass and an opaque rim of the case, as well as a clock mechanism located inside the case rim and interfaced with the clock mechanism time indication means. Moreover, according to the invention, the transparent front glass and the transparent rear window are made supporting with the possibility of placing time indicating means between them, the clock mechanism comprises a transparent central glass fixed inside the drive wheel transmitting movement to the time indicating means, and the time indicating means is made in the form of a clock and minute hand with the possibility of rotation by means of a drive wheel and a bill mechanism coupled to them [17 (prototype)].

This watch comprises a case made of transparent front glass, transparent rear glass and an opaque case rim, a clock mechanism located inside the case rim and a time display associated with the clock mechanism, according to the invention, the transparent front glass and the transparent back glass are made supporting with the possibility of placing indication means between them time, the clock mechanism contains a transparent central glass fixed inside the drive wheel, transmitting movement to the time indication means, and the time indication means is made in the form of hour and minute hands with the possibility of their rotation by means of a drive wheel and a bill mechanism coupled with them. The clear center glass is parallel between the clear front glass and the clear back glass, the hour hand is between the clear front glass and the clear center glass, and the minute hand is between the clear center glass and the clear back glass or the minute hand is between the clear front glass and the clear center glass [17 (prototype)].

The clock mechanism of this watch contains a wheel system, a trigger controller assembly and a mechanical spring or electric quartz drive and includes a wheel system, a trigger controller assembly, a minute tribe, a minute tribe wheel, an intermediate tribe, an intermediate wheel, a drive wheel, a clock wheel, a rear axle, a rear axle support glass, bill of exchange tributes, hour hand, central glass, front support glass, minute hand, rear support sleeve, front support sleeve, bill wheel axle, central trib. The outer side surface of the rim of the case is equipped with at least one means of mechanical connection, made with the possibility of connection with a bracelet or watch strap, with a chain of pocket watches, with a chain of a pendant or pendant, fastening a jewelry, device or product with a mechanical calculation of time, and the watch dial is made in the form of numbers or marks of hours and minutes on the surface of the front or rear support glasses or on the outer opaque rim of the case.

The disadvantages of these watches are the complexity of manufacture and the limited area of the transparent region due to the placement of the entire clock mechanism in a closed area inside the case. In addition, the tight arrangement of the parts of the clock mechanism in a closed area inside the case does not allow to place there only a relatively low-power reserve power spring motor.

The implementation and industrial implementation of the invention

The case of patentable mysterious watches with a tourbillon is made of any design and shape suitable for use in watches. Can be used as the already commonly used "standard" design of the watch case (Fig. 1, 2), as well as modified designs for using patentable watches as a pendant or decorative pendant, jewelry, device or item with a mechanical calculation of time.

The watch dial in the form of numbers or marks of hours and minutes can be made on the surface of the front or rear windows or on the outer opaque rim of the watch case (Fig. 1, 2).

On the outer side surface of the patented watch case (Fig. 1, 2), there are placed the means of mechanical connection of the watch case with a bracelet, strap (Fig. 1,2), a chain or other fastening means, as well as the head of the winding and transfer mechanism.

Located inside the patented watch case, the clock mechanism 33 (Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10) contains in the opaque region of the clock mechanism 33: a drum 30, gear wheels 28, 29, a cam clutch 10 and a gear wheel 27.

In the transparent area of the clock mechanism are: hour hand 4, minute hand 5, tourbillon carriage 6, intermediate wheel 8, anchor wheel 9, cam clutch 10, anchor fork 11, second hand 12, second wheel 13, balance 14, transparent lower glass 15 , conversion disk 16, transparent drive disk 17, transparent top glass 18, bill wheel 19, anchor tribe 20, second tribe 21, central wheel 22, intermediate wheel tribes 23, clock wheel 24, minute tribe 25, bill tribe 26, transfer wheel 27.

An engine, a transmission mechanism, a clock winding mechanism and a hand movement - these nodes are in the opaque area of the clock mechanism.

In the transparent area are: the main wheel system, the switch mechanism, and the tourbillon assembly, which includes a descent and a regulator.

Figure 11 shows the structural-functional diagram of the clock mechanism, which shows the relationship of the main functional blocks (nodes of the mechanism) of the clock:

An engine that can be made in the form of a winding spring and which is the source of energy in a mechanical watch. It stores energy during the winding of the watch, and then for a long time drives the regulator through the wheel system and supports its vibrations, as well as rotates the hands.

The mechanism of the watch winding and the movement of the hands, which makes it possible to manually set the watch spring and set the hands in the desired position. This mechanism can be made in the form of a conventional crown with a crown, a system of levers and gears.

A transmission mechanism designed to transfer energy from the watch’s engine through the drive disk to the main wheel system, in ordinary watches, energy is usually transmitted directly from the engine to the wheel system. In this case, when the wheel system is located separately, the presence of a drive mechanism allows you to transfer energy from the engine to the main wheel system with the necessary force.

The main wheel system, consisting of gears and performing two functions: transferring energy from the engine through the descent to the regulator and counting the number of oscillations of the regulator. Through the main wheel system, movement is transmitted to the switch mechanism. The main wheel system can include in the usual way the center, intermediate and second wheels.

A dial mechanism that serves in hours to continuously count the number of fluctuations made by the regulator and to display (display) this count in generally accepted units of time (hour, minute).

The hands, continuously moving, indicate the time on the watch dial.

The arrow mechanism may consist, as usual, of a minute tribe (minute book), a bill wheel and a clock wheel

The regulator controls the operation of the stroke, regulates the opening of the spring or lowering the weight. Oscillations of the regulator, ensuring the uniformity of the clock, are strictly periodic.

The descent is an intermediate node of the mechanism. It interacts with the main wheel system and the regulator. The descent periodically releases the gear train and converts the spring energy into pulses transmitted to the regulator to maintain its oscillations. With the help of the descent, the controller controls the rotation of the gear transmission in such a way that with each half-oscillation of the wheel, the wheels rotate at certain angles, the value of which depends on the design of the descent and the number of gear teeth.

The tourbillon assembly consists of a fixed second wheel around which the tourbillon carriage rotates, containing a descent and a clock regulator, set in motion by the main wheel system from the intermediate wheel to a second tribe, which is fixed on the tourbillon carriage.

When the watch is functioning, the engine started by the watch factory and translating the clock hands transfers energy through the transmission mechanism to the drive disk, which is a glass disk with a toothed disk located around the circumference.

The drive dial transfers the rotation to the main wheel system, located in the center of the transparent region of the watch, which transfers energy to the trigger and the clock regulator.

Through the axis of the central wheel 22, energy is transmitted to a clock mechanism, which drives the clock hands.

When correcting the time using the watch factory assembly and translating the hands, the pointer mechanism is transferred through the transfer disk 16.

The technical advantages of the claimed mysterious watches in comparison with known analogues are the presence of the tourbillon assembly located in the center of the transparent region of the clock mechanism, the transfer of the wheel system to the transparent region of the mechanism, the coaxial arrangement of the axes of the hands and tourbillon carriage in the transparent region of the mechanism.

The design of patentable mysterious clocks with a tourbillon, the method of transmitting movement in a clock mechanism and the method of arranging a mysterious clock with a tourbillon are in causal connection with the technical result and allow solving the problem of creating a clock with a unique tourbillon arrangement, a wheel and arrow system structurally, which simpler to manufacture and more convenient to operate due to the transfer of the wheel system and the tourbillon assembly to the central part of the transparent region of the hour in.

Simplicity of manufacture and operation is achieved, in particular, by the fact that it is possible to use part of the finished parts of the standard mechanism, including parts of the clock engine and the main wheel system

Increasing the visual appeal and mystery of the watch while increasing the functionality of the wheel system of the watch and reducing the size of the mechanism of the mysterious watch is achieved by the fact that the use of the tourbillon carriage in the center attracts attention, since the observer does not see the principle of tourbillon carriage drive. Alignment with the hour and minute hands enhances the effect of mystery, since a greater volume of detail is more unusual for perception.

For the manufacture of parts, springs, knots, elements of the watch case, brass and steel, ordinary and traditional for watch production, can be used, and mineral or sapphire glass for the front and rear windows. It is also possible to use equipment traditional for the instrument-making industry - universal turning, milling and gear-cutting machines, machines with numerical control of the turning and milling groups, as well as turning, milling and gear-cutting automatic machines.

As options for the execution of individual parts, assemblies, clockwork and clock-drive gears, known and traditional for watchmaking technologies, materials and design solutions known in watchmaking can be used [18, 19, 20, 21].

As a drive, the clock mechanism can include and includes mechanical (spring) or electric (quartz) drives commonly used in watchmaking.
