Description

La présente invention a pour objet un tourbillon tri-axial pour pièce d'horlogerie, notamment montre-bracelet.The present invention relates to a tri-axial vortex for timepieces, in particular wristwatches.

En fonctionnement, la marche d'une pièce d'horlogerie n'est pas la même lorsque celle-ci est en position verticale ou en position horizontale. Une montre de poche peut par exemple être réglée assez facilement car elle est placée la plupart du temps en position verticale. Le réglage effectué dans cette position pourra être réalisé facilement, et il sera possible de rester à une variation de 0 à 1 seconde par jour. En revanche, si l'on place la montre de poche en position horizontale, c'est à dire posée par exemple sur une table, on remarquera que la variation de marche sera alors d'environ 10 secondes par jour.In operation, walking a room watchmaking is not the same when it is in vertical position or horizontal position. A pocket watch can for example be adjusted enough easily because it is placed most of the time in vertical position. The setting made in this position can be easily achieved, and it will be possible to stay at a variation of 0 to 1 second per day. On the other hand, if we place the pocket watch in horizontal position, ie laid for example on a table, it will be noticed that the variation of market will be then about 10 seconds a day.

Une montre-bracelet est en général portée en position horizontale. Cependant, suivant le porteur, la position moyenne de la montre peut varier considérablement. Si par conséquent elle est réglée en position horizontale, elle pourra, dans certains cas, montrer une variation de marche relativement importante.A wristwatch is usually worn in horizontal position. However, depending on the wearer, the average position of the watch may vary considerably. If therefore it is regulated in horizontal position, it may, in certain cases, show a relatively large variation of market.

Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, la titulaire a proposé un tourbillon bi-axial décrit dans le brevet suisse N° ... (Demande n° 590/2003) ainsi qu'un tourbillon tri-axial décrit dans le brevet suisse N° ... (Demande N° 1282/2001). Le principal problème posé par ces tourbillons bi-axiaux ou tri-axiaux se résume à la production de mécanismes aussi peu volumineux que possible, de manière à pouvoir être logés dans une montre-bracelet qui reste relativement mince. Il est donc nécessaire de trouver des mécanismes répondant à ce critère.To remedy this drawback, the holder proposed a bi-axial vortex described in Swiss Patent No. ... (Application No. 590/2003) as well that a tri-axial vortex described in the Swiss patent No. ... (Application No. 1282/2001). The main problem posed by these bi-axial or triaxial eddies summarizes the production of mechanisms as little as large as possible, so that they can be accommodated in a wristwatch that remains relatively thin. It is therefore necessary to find mechanisms meeting this criterion.

Le tourbillon tri-axial, notamment pour montre-bracelet selon l'invention, est caractérisé en ce que le tourbillon comprend une cage contenant le balancier et l'échappement en rotation selon un axe, la cage étant montée dans une deuxième cage de manière à pouvoir tourner autour d'un autre axe, la deuxième cage étant à son tour montée rotative dans une troisième cage tournant autour d'un axe fixe par rapport à la pièce d'horlogerie, les trois axes étant perpendiculaires l'un par rapport à l'autre.The tri-axial vortex, especially for wristwatch according to the invention, is characterized in that that the vortex includes a cage containing the pendulum and the exhaust in rotation along an axis, the cage being mounted in a second cage so as to to be able to turn around another axis, the second cage being rotatably mounted in a third cage rotating around a fixed axis relative to the piece the three axes being perpendicular to one compared to each other.

Selon un mode d'exécution préféré, le tourbillon tri-axial est entraíné par une roue motrice montée sur la platine de la pièce d'horlogerie, laquelle entraíne un pignon solidaire de la troisième cage, et fait tourner ladite cage autour de son axe mettant ainsi en rotation un pignon engrènant avec une couronne fixée sur la platine de la pièce d'horlogerie, ce qui entraíne en rotation la cage autour de son axe, la deuxième cage mettant en rotation la première cage autour de son axe par l'intermédiaire d'une couronne et du pignon de secondes solidaire de la troisième cage, et ainsi transmettre l'énergie provenant de la roue motrice à l'ensemble formé par le pignon d'échappement, la roue d'échappement et le balancier placé dans la première cage.According to a preferred embodiment, the tri-axial vortex is driven by a driving wheel mounted on the turntable of the timepiece, which causes a pinion secured to the third cage, and rotates said cage around its axis thus in rotation a pinion meshing with a fixed crown on the turntable of the timepiece, which leads to in rotation the cage around its axis, the second cage rotating the first cage around its axis through a crown and pinion second solidarity of the third cage, and so transmit energy from the driving wheel to the assembly formed by the escape pinion, the wheel exhaust and the balance placed in the first cage.

Le dessin représente, à titre d'exemple, un mode d'exécution d'un tourbillon tri-axial pour pièce d'horlogerie, selon l'invention.The drawing represents, as an example, a mode of execution of a tri-axial vortex for room timepiece, according to the invention.

Dans le dessin :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un tourbillon tri-axial monté sur la platine d'une pièce d'horlogerie et,
  • la figure 2 est une coupe du tourbillon selon l'axe du balancier dans laquelle, pour plus de clarté, la platine et la roue des heures fixe ne sont pas représentées.
    • In the drawing:
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tri-axial vortex mounted on the plate of a timepiece and,
  • Figure 2 is a section of the vortex along the axis of the balance in which, for clarity, the plate and the fixed hour wheel are not shown.

    • Le tourbillon tri-axial représenté dans les figures 1 et 2 a été développé pour une montre bracelet. Cette utilisation n'est cependant pas limitative, et le tourbillon peut être utilisé pour équiper des montres de poche ou des pendulettes.The tri-axial vortex represented in the Figures 1 and 2 was developed for a wristwatch. This use is however not limiting, and the swirl can be used to equip watches with pocket or clocks.

    Le tourbillon tri-axial comprend une cage de tourbillon A contenant le balancier 1, la roue d'échappement 2 et le pignon d'échappement 3. Cette cage est placée dans une deuxième cage B dans laquelle elle tourne sur les deux paliers 4, 5, et qui porte la roue des secondes fixe 6 dans laquelle engrène le pignon d'échappement 3. La cage B tourne elle-même dans la troisième cage C sur deux paliers 7, 8. La troisième cage C est dotée d'une couronne dentée 9 dans laquelle engrène le pignon de secondes 10 solidaire de la cage A.The tri-axial vortex comprises a vortex cage A containing the pendulum 1, the escape wheel 2 and exhaust pinion 3. This cage is placed in a second cage B in which it turns on both bearings 4, 5, and which carries the seconds wheel sets 6 in which meshes the exhaust pinion 3. The cage B rotates itself in the third cage C on two levels 7, 8. The third cage C has a crown toothed 9 in which meshes the pinion of seconds 10 integral with the cage A.

    La cage C porte à l'une de ses extrémités tournantes un pignon 11 engrenant lui-même avec une roue des heures fixe 12 logée dans la platine du mouvement. La cage C tourne sur deux paliers 13, 14 solidaires du mouvement, et porte sur l'un de ses points de pivotement un pignon 15 entraíné par la roue de centre 16 du mouvement. (Figure 1).C cage brings to one of his rotating ends a pinion 11 meshing itself with a fixed hour wheel 12 housed in the platinum of movement. C cage rotates on two bearings 13, 14 integral with the movement, and bears on one of his pivot points a pinion 15 driven by the center wheel 16 of the movement. (Figure 1).

    Les paliers 4 et 5 de la cage A, et les paliers 8 et 14 des cages B, respectivement de la cage C, sont comme représentés dans le dessin, des paliers à rubis. Les paliers 7 et 13 de la cage B, respectivement de la cage C, sont des paliers à roulements à billes.The bearings 4 and 5 of the cage A, and the bearings 8 and 14 of the cages B, respectively the cage C, are as shown in the drawing, ruby bearings. The bearings 7 and 13 of the cage B, respectively of the cage C, are bearings with ball bearings.

    La cage A comprenant le balancier 1, la roue d'échappement 2, et le pignon d'échappement 3, effectue sa rotation selon l'axe A1, alors que les cages B et C tournent sur leur axe A2 et A3, les trois axes A1, A2, et A3, étant perpendiculaires l'un par rapport à l'autre.Cage A comprising the balance 1, the escape wheel 2, and the exhaust pinion 3, performs its rotation along the axis A1, while cages B and C rotate on their axis A2 and A3, the three axes A1, A2, and A3, being perpendicular relative to each other.

    Le fonctionnement du tourbillon décrit dans les figures 1 et 2 s'explique aisément comme suit :The operation of the tourbillon describes in Figures 1 and 2 is easily explained as follows:

    Sous l'effet de la force motrice de la roue 16 (figure 1), le pignon 15 va mettre en mouvement la cage C qui tourne autour de son axe A3. Par l'intermédiaire du pignon 11 et de la couronne fixe 12, la cage B va elle-même tourner autour de son axe A2, et mettre en mouvement la cage A autour de son axe A1 grâce à sa couronne 9 et au pignon de secondes 10 solidaire de la cage A et transmettre l'énergie nécessaire au fonctionnement de l'échappement et du balancier 1.Under the influence of the driving force of wheel 16 (Figure 1), the pinion 15 will put in movement cage C which rotates about its axis A3. Through the pinion 11 and the crown fixed 12, the cage B will itself turn around its axis A2, and set the cage around of its axis A1 thanks to its crown 9 and the pinion of seconds 10 secured to the cage A and transmit the energy needed to operate the escapement and balance 1.

    Il est évident pour l'homme de métier que la construction du tourbillon décrit à l'aide des figures 1 et 2 est caractérisée par une mise en relation dudit tourbillon selon trois axes, ce qui permet de diminuer considérablement les variations de marche de la pièce d'horlogerie dues à sa position, et de rendre cette dernière totalement indépendante de son positionnement par rapport à la gravité terrestre. La précision de marche de la montre est ainsi considérablement améliorée. D'autre part, si le tourbillon tri-axial qui vient d'être décrit est placé de manière à être visible dans une fenêtre pratiquée dans le cadran, l'aspect esthétique de la pièce d'horlogerie est particulièrement plaisant.It is obvious to the skilled person that the construction of the tourbillon described using Figures 1 and 2 is characterized by a relationship of said vortex along three axes, which considerably reduces variations of the timepiece due to its position, and to make the latter totally independent of its positioning with respect to the Earth's gravity. The precision of the watch is thus greatly improved. Else on the other hand, if the tri-axial vortex that has just been described is placed so as to be visible in a window practiced in the dial, the appearance aesthetic of the timepiece is particularly pleasant.

    Finalement, la durée de rotation de chacune des cages peut être affichée sur le cadran de la pièce d'horlogerie au moyen d'aiguilles conventionnelles ou d'un dispositif d'affichage rétrogradant.Finally, the rotation duration of each of the cages can be displayed on the dial the timepiece by means of needles conventional or display device downshifting.
