Definitions

  • the invention relates to ringtones, and in particular watches with mechanical ringtones including a stamp struck by a hammer to generate vibrations.
  • the stamp used is a circular-shaped wire placed in a plane parallel to the dial of the watch.
  • the wire is arranged around a movement, in the cage of the watch.
  • One end of the stamp is fixed, for example by solder, to a stamp holder.
  • the other end of the stamp is usually free.
  • the stamp holder is itself secured to the watch plate and holds the wire above the plate.
  • the watch includes a hammer actuated at predetermined times.
  • the vibration of the stamp is produced by the impact of the hammer near the stamp holder.
  • the hammer makes a rotation in the plane of the stamp so as to vibrate the stamp in its plan. Part of the vibration of the timbre is transmitted to the deck.
  • the stage then vibrates in a plane parallel to the plane of the timbre.
  • the resulting vibration is composed of several eigenfrequencies, whose number and intensity, especially in the audible range, depend on the geometry of the timbre and the physical properties of the material.
  • fundamental frequency which is also called first harmonic
  • harmonics which are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency.
  • the frequencies above the fundamental are no longer integer multiples of the lowest frequency, they are rather defined by partials.
  • the ring volume is relatively limited and the energy efficiency of the ring is relatively low.
  • the sound quality of the ring is generally poor because of a small number of eigenfrequencies of the sound emitted.
  • the invention aims to solve one or more of these disadvantages.
  • An advantage of the watch according to the invention lies in the fact that the hammer is arranged to strike said stamp in another direction than in the direction of the plane of the stamp, that is to say with an inclined incidence relative to said plan.
  • the invention proposes a watch provided with a ring tone.
  • the timbre surrounds a movement of the watch and extends substantially in a plane.
  • a hammer hits the stamp to make it vibrate.
  • the hammer hits the stamp with an inclined bearing in relation to this plane.
  • this stamp thus vibrates according to the normal to its plan.
  • the energy efficiency of the stamp is thus improved.
  • the transmission of vibrations to the watch plate is improved, the stamp holder can normally transmit to the plate tensile forces / compression. This further improves the energetic efficiency of the patch and can improve the spectral density of the ring generated, in particular by decreasing it, which makes it possible to reduce a dissonance due to near frequency partials.
  • the number of partials, generated for the ring is notably increased.
  • the figure 1 is a top view of the interior of a watch 1 according to one embodiment of the invention, when the hammer is in the rest position.
  • the figure 2 is a side sectional view according to AA of the watch details of the figure 1 .
  • the watch 1 comprises a plate 8.
  • a cage is formed in the middle part of this plate 8.
  • the watch 1 comprises a movement (not illustrated) known per se and housed in the cage of the plate 8. The movement will typically be a movement mechanical.
  • the watch 1 comprises a stamp 2 and a stamp holder 3 also housed in the cage.
  • the stamp holder 3 is integral with the plate 8.
  • the stamp holder 3 is projecting relative to the bottom of the plate 8.
  • the stamp 2 surrounds the movement and extends substantially in a plane x, y, plane which is substantially parallel to the plane of the dial of the watch 1.
  • the stamp 2 is made in the form of a beam, circular in the illustrated example. This beam can for example be made in the form of a wire.
  • the stamp 2 is fixed by one of its ends 22 to the stamp holder 3. The other end 21 of the stamp 2 is free.
  • the stamp holder 3 maintains the stamp 2 above the bottom of the plate 8. A travel of the stamp 2 along the z axis is thus arranged so that it can vibrate in this direction.
  • the watch 1 comprises a hammer 5 adapted to strike the stamp 2 when it is actuated.
  • the hammer 5 comprises a striking face 53 intended to come into contact with the patch 2.
  • the hammer 5 is in a rest position in which its striking face 53 is spaced from the stamp 2.
  • the hammer 5 is pivotally mounted relative to an axis 51 parallel to the plane of the stamp 2, the axis having a direction Y in the illustrated example.
  • the hammer 5 furthermore has an actuating face 52 substantially perpendicular to the striking face 53.
  • the watch 1 comprises an actuating member 4 pivotally mounted relative to the plate 8.
  • the actuating member 4 is pivotally mounted about a direction axis z, normal to the plane x, y.
  • a leaf spring 6 recalls the hammer 5 towards its rest position, exerting a force tending to move the face 53 of the stamp 2 away.
  • the leaf spring 6 has an end 61 fixed to the plate 8 and a free end 62 which urges the hammer 5.
  • the free end 62 of the spring 6 urges an inner face of the hammer 5.
  • a stop 7 limits the pivoting of the hammer 5 induced by the leaf spring 6 and defines its rest position.
  • the actuating member 4 drives the hammer 5 from its position apart to its striking position at predefined times.
  • the figures 3 and 4 represent the respective positions of the hammer 5 and the actuating member 4 in the striking position.
  • the actuating member 4 has pivoted about its axis.
  • the actuating member 4 has driven the hammer 5 by striking its face 52 in its rotational stroke.
  • the hammer 5 has thus pivoted from its rest position to its striking position.
  • the hammer 5 thus transforms a displacement of the member 4 in the plane x, y in displacement in particular along the z axis.
  • the face 53 is then in contact with the stamp 2.
  • the stamp 2 is then moved and generates a vibration.
  • the actuating member 4 is then moved away from the face 52 and the spring 6 recalls the hammer 5 towards its rest position spaced from the stamp 2.
  • the contact angle is substantially oriented along the z axis, and is therefore inclined with respect to the x plane, y of the stamp 2.
  • the instantaneous speed of the hammer 5 is in fact oriented according to the z axis at the time of contact between the face 53 and the stamp 2.
  • the stamp 2 is driven in a displacement having a component perpendicular to its plane x, y.
  • the energy efficiency of the sound generation by the stamp 2 and the transmission of vibrations to the plate 8 via the stamp holder 3 are improved.
  • the angle of incidence will be normal to this face 53 at the time of striking.
  • the hammer 5 may in particular be actuated every minute.
  • the actuating member 4 may in particular actuate the hammer 5 at regular intervals or at a predefined time.
  • the stamp 2 is in this case formed of a circular beam, which reduces its size inside the watch.
  • the beam will typically have a diameter of less than 1 mm, for example of the order of 0.6 mm.
  • the illustrated beam forms a portion of torus. This torus portion will advantageously extend at an angle of between 300 ° and 350 °.
  • the beam may also have other suitable shapes, for example a rectangular shape, for acoustic reasons.
  • the stamp 2 may in particular be made of a metallic material. In order to increase the amplitude the displacement of the stamp 2, the zone on which the hammer 5 hits will advantageously be placed at a distance from the binding between the stamp 2 and the stamp holder 3.
  • the stamp 2 has a single end attached to the stamp holder 3.
  • the invention also applies to a watch having several stamp-holders to which the same stamp is attached, or to a watch in which the stamp is attached to the door-stamp other than by one of its extremities.
  • the watch 1 has a single hammer 5.
  • a watch according to the invention may have several hammers and the stamp may have several corresponding striking surfaces.
  • the invention also applies to a stamp having several superposed windings.
  • the invention can be applied to a wristwatch, but also to other types of timepieces, such as alarm clocks.
  • the impact of the hammer 5 may be inclined relative to the normal z to said plane.
  • twisting forces will be transmitted by the stamp holder 3 to the plate 8 of the watch. This further improves the energy efficiency of the patch 2 and can improve the spectral density of the ring generated, in particular by decreasing it, which makes it possible to reduce a dissonance due to the near-frequency partials.
