DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The invention relates to a timepiece component 1, more particularly a timepiece mobile. This component 1 comprises a shafted part 2, which comprises at least one pivot 3 around a pivot axis D.
At least the material of the shafted part 2 is a ceramic, or the like.
According to the invention, this tree part 2 comprises a plurality of recesses 7, which are balanced around the pivot axis D, and in particular which are distributed regularly around the pivot axis D, and has its center of inertia on pivot axis D.
And this tree part 2 has an area of larger diameter, called flange 9, which constitutes its largest diameter relative to the pivot axis D.
More particularly this flange 9 has a joint plane 90 of the shafted part 2, which joint plane 90 is substantially perpendicular to the pivot axis D.
More particularly, the flange 9 is crossed by the recesses 7.
In a particular and advantageous embodiment when the material constituting the shafted part 2 is injectable, at least one recess 7 contains an injection point 8 of the material. More particularly, each recess 7 contains an injection point 8 for the material. Advantageously, the injection point 8 is located in the region of the recess 7 which is closest to the pivot axis D. And, in a particular variant, the injection point is located, according to the direction of axis D, at the middle of the flange 9.
The housing of the injection point 8 in a recess 7 is particularly advantageous, because therefore there is no interference with any functional range of revolution whatsoever. In addition, in the particular case illustrated by the figures of cylindrical recesses 7, any retouching of the injection point 8 is extremely easy, and absolutely does not risk injuring a functional range.
In another embodiment, at least one injection point is located in another non-functional part of the shafted part 2, for example under the largest diameter, or is located in another non-functional part of the component 1 made with the shafted part 2 and in the same material, in particular a ceramic. By non-functional part is meant here a part of the component of which no surface is arranged to cooperate with another component of a clockwork mechanism.
Alternatively, the injection point 8 is housed in the bottom of a groove of revolution.
For a production by injection into a mold in two parts on either side of the joint plane 90, the section of the shaded part decreases from the joint plane 9 towards each distal end preferably comprising a pivot 3 and / or a tigeron. This execution makes it possible to obtain the injection pivot pivots without injection.
The shape of the "injection point" depends on the mold and the production facility used. It is generally circular, but this execution is not limiting, the injection point can also be a short segment, and its surface and its shape are linked to the space available on the component 1 in a non-functional area, as on an anchor rod, or a flange or a bottom of teeth for a pinion, or similar. The injection point is advantageously housed in the bottom of a notch or a recess.
In particular, the tree part 2 comprises, for the support of a twill 4 or a plate 40 that comprises the component 1, at least one bearing 5, 6, of revolution around the axis of pivot D, which is adjacent to at least one bearing surface 50, 60, which is of revolution about the pivot axis D. This serge 4 can be a pendulum serge, or a toothed plate, or the like.
In another embodiment, the component 1 is a wheel or a pinion, and comprises, at the level of its collar 9, a toothing which can also be made of ceramic, and come from injection, which makes it possible to avoid any reworking or cutting machining.
More particularly, the shafted part 2 comprises, on either side of the collar 9, a first and a second bearing 5, 6, and a first and a second bearing surface 50, 60.
Alternatively, the scope 5, 6 is cylindrical.
Alternatively, the second support surface 50, 60 is conical or planar.
[0034] FIG. 1 illustrates a component 1, which is here a mobile constituting a pendulum; and which comprises a shafted part 2, traversing including two pivots 3 at its distal ends along the axis of rotation D. The shafted part 2 carries, on a first bearing 5, a balance serge 4 which is in lateral support on a first flank 6 of the flange 9. The tree portion 2 also carries, on a second bearing surface 50 and resting on a second flank60 of the flange 9 opposite to the first flank 6, a balance plate 40 carrying a plate pin.
More particularly, the material is a ceramic. Such a ceramic comprises at least one first element chosen from aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, titanium carbide, boron carbide, titanium diboride TiB 2 , diamond, tungsten carbide, vitreous silica, or the like. Naturally, this ceramic can comprise a plurality of components chosen from aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, titanium carbide, boron carbide, titanium diboride TiB 2 , diamond, tungsten carbide, vitreous silica, or the like. This ceramic generally comprises at least one stabilizer, and / or at least one dopant, and / or at least one material allowing the improvement of the mechanical properties, such as MgO, CaO, Y 2 O 3 , or the like, and / or at least one additive such as carbon, carbon fibers, carbon nanotubes, colored pigment, electret, or the like, for other lubricating, appearance, magnetic, or other properties. Without limitation, such a ceramic is injected into a mold, then sintered, to produce the component.
The component illustrated in the figures is for example advantageously made of zirconium oxide ZrO 2 , usually called zirconia, with at least one dopant of yttrium oxide Y 2 O 3 .
In particular, the material of the shafted part, in particular such a ceramic, is entirely non-magnetic.
In an alternative, the material of the shafted part, in particular such a ceramic, is loaded with magnetized and / or magnetizable particles.
In a particular application, the component 1 is a pendulum, and carries, on the shafted part 2, at least one twill 4 and a plate 40.
The invention also relates to a clock oscillator 100, comprising at least one such component 1.
The invention also relates to a clockwork movement 200, comprising at least one such oscillator 100, and / or at least one such component 1.
The invention also relates to a timepiece 1000 comprising at least one such movement 200 and / or at least one such oscillator 100, and / or at least one such component 1. More particularly, this timepiece 1000 is a watch.
The invention also relates to a method for producing a timepiece component 1, more particularly a timepiece mobile, which component 1 comprises a shafted part 2, which comprises at least one pivot 3 about an axis pivot D. According to this method, this shafted part 2 is produced by injecting a material of the ceramic or similar type into a mold in at least two parts arranged for the direct production of surfaces of revolution at each pivot 3. More in particular, at least two parts of the mold are aligned along the pivot axis D; more particularly still, these at least two aligned parts extend from one side and from a joint plane at the level of which is the zone of larger diameter of the tree part 2, which zone of larger diameter defines a flange 9. More particularly, the material is injected into the mold at the level of at least one injection point 8 formed in at least one recess 7 which comprises the collar 9, and which corresponds to a projecting part of the mold. More particularly, the material is injected at at least one injection point 8, in the zone of the relevant recess 7 which is closest to the pivot axis D. After filling the mold, the hardening of the mold is carried out. injection material according to the process specific to this material, polymerization, sintering, or other. The mold is opened after the injection material has hardened. If necessary, a bearing is carried out by grinding and / or diamond-cutting, or the like, of the bearing surfaces of revolution and in particular of the pivots and / or shanks which the shafted part 2 comprises. When the component 1 is not limited to the shafted part 2, and comprises at least one added element such as a twill 4 and / or a plate 40, and / or dowel or the like, each such element is attached to the tree part and immobilized by gluing or the like. More particularly but not limited to, this immobilization is irreversible.
The invention thus makes it possible to produce a timepiece component, and in particular a timepiece mobile, with a precise shape and surfaces of revolution by injecting material into a mold in at least two parts. This material can in particular be a non-magnetic ceramic. The obtaining process allows a saving of material due to an implementation substantially at finished dimensions, and a significant saving of machining. Such an injection process also guarantees good direct balancing of the shafted part. Finishes are kept to a minimum, and, depending on the function of component 1, may even be superfluous.
