Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an anchor for an escapement of a watch movement, in particular an escapement of the Swiss anchor type having a one-piece body.
  • the document EP2320280 discloses an escapement anchor provided with a fork intended to cooperate with an ankle mounted on a plate.
  • the anchor fork is an attached part, offset from the plane of the stick and the dart.
  • the fork is fixed to the stick by means of a tenon driven into respective holes machined in the fork and the stick, the tenon also providing the spacing between the plane of the stick and the fork.
  • the tenons are metal parts produced by turning. A current problem with low-cut tenons is that they have cutting "nipples".
  • EP2952971 which relates to an escapement anchor comprising a fork part, a pallet support part, pallets mounted on the pallet support part, and a stick.
  • the wand is used to connect the support part of the pallets to the fork part.
  • the fork portion includes a fork, a dart and a stud.
  • the rod and the support part of the pallets are integral and form a monolithic body of the anchor.
  • the fork is an insert attached to the body by means of the tenon driven into a fixing hole in the body and a fixing hole in the fork.
  • the attached fork is spaced from the body.
  • the tenon has the particularity of being made of a material having substantially no plastic domain under stress.
  • the document CH704086 mainly relates to a method of manufacturing a metal part, in particular an anchor for an escape mechanism having three levels.
  • the anchor is manufactured using a first mold etched in a substrate in which is placed a dart obtained by a LIGA process which forms the first level of the anchor.
  • the second and third level of the anchor are made using two molds formed by two superimposed layers of photoresist.
  • the anchor thus obtained comprises a one-piece rod, one end of which forms the two horns of the fork while a stinger is attached to a tenon forming an integral part of the rod.
  • a main drawback of these anchors lies in the fact that the stinger and the horns are two distinct parts leading to inaccuracies in the positioning of the sting relative to the horns when the fork or the stinger is attached to the stick, especially in the stinger and horn partition heights.
  • the assembly of the rod of the anchor with the dart or the fork is a delicate operation.
  • the invention relates to an anchor for an escapement of a watch movement according to claim 1.
  • the dependent claims describe advantageous aspects of the invention.
  • the anchor comprises a pallet support, pallets mounted on the pallet support, a fork comprising first and second horns as well as a dart, and a rod connecting the pallet support to the fork.
  • the pallet rack, stick and fork form a monolithic body of the anchor.
  • the body of the anchor is produced by a lithographic and electroforming process.
  • the process is a two-level LIGA type process.
  • the pallet support, the rod and the stinger are made in a layer of constant thickness.
  • the first and second horns of the fork have a certain height and are made in the main layer as well as in a superimposed layer.
  • the main layer and the superimposed layer form the monolithic body of the anchor.
  • the ratio between the height of the first and second horns of the fork and the constant thickness of the main layer is between 1.5 and 10.
  • the first and second horns of the fork each comprise a bevelled surface extending over the entire height of said first and second horns.
  • the body of the anchor is made from a material selected from the group of materials comprising Silicon, Silicon Nitride, Silicon Carbide, Steel, Gold or one of its alloys, Nickel, Nickel-Phosphorus, Brass, Copper-Beryllium, Nickel Silver, polymers, ceramic and amorphous metal.
  • the invention also relates to an escapement comprising an anchor as described, and a watch movement comprising the escapement.
  • an anchor 2 for a Swiss anchor type escapement for a timepiece movement comprises a fork 10, a paddle support portion 6, paddles 14, and a rod 8 interconnecting the paddle carrier portion 6 to the fork 10.
  • the rod 8 is rotatably coupled to the plate of a watch movement by means of a pivot 15.
  • the paddles 14 engage the teeth of an anchor wheel (not shown) of the escapement which is connected to a power source providing rotational torque to the wheel.
  • One of the pallets constitutes the entry pallet and the other constitutes the exit pallet, depending on the alternation of rotation of the anchor 2.
  • the fork 10 comprises a stinger 12 as well as a first horn 10a and a second horn 10b arranged on either side of the stinger 12.
  • the fork engages a plate pin of a double plate driven out on the axis of a balance wheel (not shown) intended to regulate the frequency of rotation of the anchor wheel via the anchor.
  • the first horn 10a functions as an input horn and the second horn 10b horn as an output horn.
  • the functions of the first and second horns are reversed.
  • the dart 12 makes it possible to prevent the anchor from pivoting and thus preventing the fork from passing on the wrong side of the ankle when an impact occurs.
  • the pallet support 6, the rod 8 and the fork 10 consisting of the stinger 12 and the first and second horns 10a, 10b form a monolithic body 4.
  • the ratio between the height H of the first and second horns 10a, 10b and the thickness of the rod E of the body is between 1.5 and 10.
  • the first and second horns 10a, 10b of the fork 10 each comprise a bevelled surface 11a, 11b extending over the entire height H of the first and second horns and intended to cooperate with the plate pin of the balance.
  • Body 4 can be made of different materials including Silicon, Silicon Nitride, and Silicon Carbide, Steel, Gold or one of its alloys, Nickel, Nickel-Phosphorus, Brass, Copper -Beryllium, nickel silver, polymers, ceramics and amorphous metal.
  • the body 4 of the anchor is manufactured by a two-stage LIGA (lithographic, galvanizing and forming) process, which constitutes an economical and precise manufacturing process for small parts.
  • the first level produced by this process is composed of the portion of the first and second horns 10a, 10b extending over the height HE.
  • the second level is composed of the other portion of the horns 10a, 10b, the fork 10, the rod 8 and the pallet support 6.
  • the invention makes it possible to reduce the manufacturing costs and increase the production yields of the anchor while avoiding inaccuracies in the positioning of the stinger relative to the horns, in particular in the heights of sharing of the stinger and the horns.
