Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a Swiss lever escapement comprising an escape wheel provided with teeth and an anchor provided on the one hand with an entry pallet and an output pallet, in turn in engagement with the teeth of the escape wheel, on the other hand a fork periodically engaged with a peg of a plate secured to the shaft of a regulating beam.
  • the Swiss anchor type escapement is composed of an anchor pivoted about an axis, and an escape wheel secured to an exhaust pinion.
  • the teeth of the wheel and the pallets of the anchor with which they are alternately in contact are the connecting elements between the wheel and the anchor.
  • the edge of the anchor wheel tooth is pushed by the torque provided by the mainspring through the gear train. against the impulse plane of the input pallet, which generates a torque around the pivot axis of the anchor. This couple puts the fork in contact with the peg of the balance plate and begins the energy transmission to the pendulum. This is the A pulse.
  • the value of the commitment of the output pallet is called virtual engagement.
  • the following phase, called pulling, results from the combined action of the force exerted by the tooth of the escape wheel on the draw face of the pallet and the orientation of this face with respect to the axis of oscillation of the anchor, called the angle of draw.
  • the anchor thus regains its second stable position and marks the end of the input function.
  • the General Theory of Watchmaking by L. Defossez (1952, The Swiss Chamber of Watchmaking) details the different types of escapement, among other things for free anchor escapements. If the tooth of the wheel and the anchor each have a pulse plane, the escapement has a shared impulse surface, the typical representative of which is the Swiss lever escapement. The shared impulse area exhaust is clearly the most reliable for a wristwatch. In all the cases mentioned by L. Defossez, the impulse planes of the pallets of the anchor are longer than those of the teeth of the escape wheel.
  • the object of the present invention is to improve the performance of a Swiss lever escapement, including compared to the solutions recommended by the state of the art.
  • this invention relates to a Swiss lever escapement according to claim 1.
  • the relative decrease in the width of the pallet is accompanied by increasing the width of the tooth of the escape wheel to maintain the same angular sector of power transmission and exploit it to the maximum.
  • two energy transmission modes can be distinguished: pulse A when the edge of the tooth moves on the pulse plane of the pallet by exerting a thrust and the pulse B when the plane of pulse of the tooth moves relative to the edge of the pallet by exerting a thrust.
  • the number of teeth of the escape wheel has little influence on the efficiency of the exhaust, and can vary over a wide range (for example, between 16 and 30 teeth).
  • the angle formed by the line of centers (lines connecting the centers of the axes of the balance, the anchor and the anchor wheel) has no significant influence on exhaust performance.
  • the ratio between the lifting angle of the balance and that of the anchor is in the case of the present invention between 3.7 and 7, preferably 4.5.
  • the figure 5 represents an embodiment of a Swiss lever escapement according to the present invention. Its parameters correspond to reference 2 in Table 2 below.
  • This exhaust has a 24-tooth escapement wheel.
  • the anchor is made by the Liga process in Ni with pallets of 0.125 mm thickness conventionally made of ruby. For the wheel, two configurations are tested, a first in Ni with a board of 0.13 mm and a second in Si with a board of 0.15 mm. It is obvious that other materials can be used for the anchor, the pallets of the anchor and the wheel. In particular, the anchor can be made in one piece with integrated pallets.
  • the figure 1 represents a Swiss lever escapement in a standard 20-tooth configuration, which serves as a basis for comparison. Its parameters correspond to reference 3 in Table 2.
  • the model used to calculate the values recorded in Table 2 predicts a yield increase of about 10% for the Ni solution and about 11% for the light Si version.
  • Table 1 below gives an overview of the amplitudes measured for the two configurations and the control exhaust (standard Swiss anchor with an anchor wheel made of Ni).
  • the amplitudes given below are averages made on at least five pieces, the standard deviation on these averages being typically 5 °.
  • ⁇ b> TABLE 1 ⁇ / b> Reference number table 2 Measured amplitude [°] Exhaust control 3 275 Wheel in Si 2 307 Ni wheel 2 310 Ref.
  • the relative width Lpl of each of the pallets is advantageously ⁇ 45%.
  • the ratio of the arc length Ls, Lc of one of the output pallets, respectively of entry to the arc length d of one of the teeth of the escape wheel is preferably less than 1.
  • the length of the pulse plane La of one of said pallets is preferably less than 200 microns.
  • the ratio between the length of the pulse plane Lg of one of the teeth of the escape wheel and the length of the pulse plane La of one of the vanes is preferably greater than 1.5.
