    专利说明:

    The present invention relates to a timepiece comprising a case having a caseband, a back and a bezel, a movement and a vibration generator device intended to produce at least one sound, housed in said case, a device for amplification of the vibrations generated by said vibration generator device, and a membrane arranged to receive said amplified vibrations and generate sound from the inside to the outside of the timepiece.
    [0002] Such a timepiece is for example a striking watch (such as a minute repeater, large bell, small bell, alarm clock) for which the vibration generator device is for example a gong arranged to be struck by a hammer when the bell is engaged to generate vibrations to produce a sound. The gong is conventionally in the form of a leaf spring wound around the movement. The gong is mounted integral with the frame (all of the plate and the bridges) of the watch by means of a heel or gong holder, in order to transmit the vibrations of the gong to the whole of the watch (frame, movement , trim components). Thus the vibrations of the gong are transmitted to the wearer of the watch with a maximum of intensity.
    [0003] The transmission of sound being obtained by setting the entire watch into vibration, it has been proposed to stiffen the various elements of the watch in order to promote the vibration of these elements and thus to improve said transmission of sound.
    This solution has given satisfactory results in terms of sound transmission quality but has generated other problems, such as the appearance of parasitic sounds. Indeed, the greater the sound intensity, the more the movement vibrates, and the more the different components of the movement generate noise by vibrating. This set of vibrations generates parasitic noises.
    [0005] One solution for amplifying the sound is to increase the striking force of the hammer on its tone. This made it possible to have a sound gain but the sound quality was degraded by parasitic noises.
    The timepiece described in application EP 3 525 045 proposes to solve this problem by using a sound transmission bridge mounted on the plate or more generally on an element of the frame, said transmission bridge also being in contact. with a membrane attached to the caseband. Thus, when the gong vibrates, said gong being itself mounted integral with the frame, the sound transmission bridge also vibrates in the same way and transmits this same vibration to the membrane. By virtue of its rigidity and its surface, the transmission bridge contributes to a significant air displacement which improves the intensity and sound quality. In addition, since the transmission bridge can be secured to other elements of the frame than the plate, it can transmit to the membrane vibrations coming from other elements of the frame around other components of the movement.
    However, vibrations of the various components of the movement due to the vibrations of the frame remain so that there is always parasitic noise.
    [0008] The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by providing a timepiece comprising a device for generating vibrations intended to produce at least one sound and a device for amplifying these vibrations making it possible to amplify said sound generated in such a way significant.
    Another object of the present invention is to make it possible to amplify the sound generated without parasitic noise, or at least by limiting said parasitic noise.
    To this end, the present invention relates to a timepiece comprising a case having a caseband, a back and a bezel, a movement and a vibration generator device intended to produce at least one sound, housed in said case, a device for amplifying the vibrations generated by said device for generating vibrations and a membrane arranged to receive said amplified vibrations and generate sound from the inside to the outside of the timepiece.
    According to the invention, the vibration amplifying device comprises a lever pivotally mounted on a support in a pivot plane not parallel to the plane of the membrane and arranged to be actuated by a transmission member cooperating with the generator device of vibrations to transmit the vibrations to the lever, said lever also being integral with the membrane at least in translation in the pivot plane so that a displacement of the transmission member generated by the vibration of said transmission member in connection with the vibration generator device transmitted to the membrane by means of the lever actuated by said transmission member generates an amplified displacement of said membrane, so as to generate an amplified sound.
    [0012] Thus, thanks to the amplification device used in the present invention, the vibrations generated are recovered on the lever which is arranged so as to mechanically amplify said vibrations before transmitting them to the membrane, producing a first amplification of the sound.
    Preferably, the vibration amplification device is isolated from the movement so that no vibration is transmitted to elements of the movement and / or the frame (plate and bridges). In addition, as the membrane is preferably advantageously placed outside the movement, and in particular in the bezel or in the back of the part, the membrane is itself isolated from the movement, so that none of the vibrations transmitted to the membrane is dissipated in movement. Thus, the timepiece according to the invention generates little, or even generates no, parasitic noise linked to the vibrations of elements of the movement and / or of the frame. All the vibrations being directed on the membrane without transmission to one of the elements of the movement and / or of the frame, it is then possible, in the case of a ringing, to modify the striking power of the gong, without having to impact on the vibrations of the elements of the movement and / or the frame.
    Advantageously, there is provided a compression chamber arranged to amplify the sound which has been generated by the displacement of the membrane, before its exit to the outside.
    This makes it possible to generate a second amplification of the sound.
    [0016] Thus, the timepiece according to the invention makes it possible to produce significantly amplified sounds and with little, if any, parasitic noise.
    Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become apparent on reading the following detailed description of various embodiments of the invention, given by way of non-limiting examples, and made with reference to the accompanying drawings in which :FIG. 1 is a bottom view of a timepiece according to a first embodiment of the invention;FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view from the bottom side of the timepiece of FIG. 1;FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the bottom of a timepiece according to a second embodiment of the invention;FIG. 4 is a view of the membrane and of the device for amplifying the vibrations according to the first embodiment of the invention;Figure 5 is a sectional view of the membrane and the compression chamber;FIG. 6 is a view of the means for adjusting the volume of the sound generated by the membrane;FIGS. 7 and 8 are partial sectional views showing respectively the means for adjusting the volume in the closed position and in the open position; andFIG. 9 is a perspective view of the timepiece according to the invention showing the closing of the openings of the compression chamber outside the sound generation time.
    The present invention relates to a timepiece comprising a case having a caseband, a back and a bezel, a movement and a vibration generator device intended to produce at least one sound, housed in said case, a device for amplification of the vibrations generated by said vibration generator device and a membrane arranged to receive said amplified vibrations and generate sound from the inside to the outside of the timepiece. According to the invention, said vibration amplification device comprises a lever pivotally mounted on a support in a pivot plane not parallel to the plane of the membrane and arranged to be actuated by a transmission member cooperating with the vibration generator device for transmitting vibrations to the lever, said lever also being integral with the membrane at least in translation in the pivot plane, the actuation point of the lever, the pivoting point of the lever and the linkage point of the lever with the membrane being positioned so that a displacement of the transmission member generated by the vibration of said transmission member in conjunction with the vibration generating device is transmitted to the membrane by means of the lever, actuated by said transmission member, in an amplified manner by the leverage effect of said lever.
    The vibration generator device may be a ringing gong arranged to be struck by a striking hammer, said ringing gong being integral with the transmission member, and said transmission member being integral with the lever.
    In another variant, the vibration generator device may be a rotating disc and comprising an engraved groove arranged to generate a sound, the transmission member being a needle integral with the lever and arranged to follow the groove on the disc.
    In another variant, the vibration generator device may be a music box comprising vibrating blades fixed by pads, the transmission member being integral with said pads and the lever.
    In the following description, the vibration generator device is a striking gong struck by a striking hammer so that the timepiece includes a striking mechanism to indicate the time (minute repeater, grand strike, small ringtone) or to ring at a predefined time (alarm clock). The timepiece is preferably a watch, and more preferably a wristwatch intended to be worn by a user, on his wrist.
    Unless specifically indicated, the remainder of the description of the invention, in particular of the vibration amplification device, will apply in the same way to a watch comprising a rotating disc read by a needle or a music box .
    Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 9, the watch 1 comprises a box 2 having a caseband 3, a bottom 4, a bezel 5, and a first crystal 6. The bottom 4 is annular and its central opening is closed by a second crystal 7, the function of which will be described below. The bezel and the middle part can be two different parts, or form a single one-piece part. Likewise, the back and the middle part can be two different parts or form a single one-piece part.
    In the following description, the vibration amplification device and the membrane are arranged to generate sounds through the back of the watch, and more particularly through the second crystal 7. It is obvious that the device amplification of the vibrations and the membrane can be arranged in a similar manner but in the reverse to generate sounds on the dial side of the watch, and more particularly by the first crystal 6.
    Referring more specifically to Figures 1, 2 and 4, watch 1 also comprises a movement (not shown) and a striking mechanism 9 constituting the device for generating vibrations intended to produce at least one sound. The movement and the striking mechanism 9 are housed in the middle part 3 of the case 2, mounted on a frame 10 (plate and bridges). The striking mechanism 9 comprises, in a known manner, hammers 12 arranged to strike the striking bell 14, here in the form of a wire or leaf spring wound around the movement.
    In order to amplify the sounds produced by the gong 14, there is provided an amplifying device 16 of the vibrations generated by the gong 14 as well as a membrane 18 arranged to receive said amplified vibrations and generate a sound from the inside to outside of the watch. Here, the sound being transmitted on the back side, the membrane 18 is mounted on the back 4, parallel to said back 4, between the movement and the second crystal 7. It will be mounted inside the bezel 5, parallel to said bezel 5 , between the movement and the first crystal 6 when the sound will be transmitted to the dial side.
    According to the invention, the vibration amplification device 16 comprises a lever 20 linked to a support 22 by an articulation along a single axis of rotation, so that said lever 20 is mounted to tilt or pivot on said support 22 around said axis of rotation, in a pivot plane not parallel to the plane of the membrane 18.
    In a particularly preferred manner, the lever 20 is pivotally mounted on its support 22 so that it rocks in a pivot plane which is perpendicular to the plane defined by the membrane 18.
    According to the first embodiment shown in Figures 1, 2 and 4, the lever 20 is pivotally mounted on the support 22 by means of a flexible ball 24. The flexible ball allows if necessary to change the direction vibrations. In particular, in the case of the ringing gong, the latter tends to vibrate radially, in the direction of the strike of the hammer. Preferably, the position of the flexible ball 24 of the lever 20 makes it possible to modify the direction of the radial vibrations of the gong by 90 ° to transform them into movements perpendicular to the plane of the membrane 18 by means of the pivoting of said lever 20.
    According to the second embodiment shown in Figure 3, the lever 20 is pivotally mounted on the support 22 by means of a pin 26 mounted transversely on the support 22 and constituting the pivot axis of the lever 20. The support 22 is constrained by a spring 27.
    The lever 20 is arranged to be actuated by a transmission member 28 cooperating with the gong 14 to transmit to the lever 20 the vibrations. The transmission member 28 is preferably integral with the lever 20. It consists for example of a heel or gong holder integral with the lever 20 and in which the gong 14 is mounted, for example by embedding, locking by a screw or brazing. For this purpose, the transmission member 28 comprises an orifice 30 into which the stamp 14 is introduced. Thus, the gong 14 is integral with the lever 20 and is not fixed, via a heel, on the frame of the watch. The transmission member 28 can be attached or in one piece with the lever 20. When the lever 20 is made of steel, the gong 14, the transmission member 28 and the lever 20 can be made in one piece. room.
    The lever 20 is also integral with the membrane 18 at least in translation in the pivot plane of the lever 20 in order to be able to move said membrane 18 in the pivot plane of the lever 20 during its tilting. It is the linear movement of the membrane 18 moved by the lever 20 which will generate a sound.
    More specifically, the lever 20 comprises a first end 20a pivotally mounted on the support 22 and integral with the transmission member 28 and a second end 20b integral with the membrane 18 at least in translation in the pivot plane of said lever 20.
    Preferably, in the case of a ringing, the transmission member 28 being fixed relative to the gong 14, the lever 20 is fixed in translation and is linked to the membrane 18 in a fixed manner, that is to say that is to say that it is integral with the membrane 18 in rotation and in translation. The fixing of the lever 20 to the membrane 18 can be done for example by means of a screw 32 screwed into a hole 34 provided on the membrane 18 and in a hole 36 provided on the lever 20, or by gluing, welding, etc. .
    In the case of a disc read by a needle, the lever and the needle are arranged to allow a translational movement in the plane of the membrane of the lever and the needle, the lever remaining integral in translation in the pivot plane, of the membrane 18, in order to be able to move it in its pivot plane during its tilting.
    The actuation point of the lever 20 by the transmission member 28, the pivot point of the lever 20 and the point of connection of the lever 20 with the membrane 18 are positioned so that a movement of the member transmission 28 generated by the vibration of said transmission member 28 in conjunction with the gong 14 and transmitted to the membrane 18 by means of the lever 20 actuated by said transmission member 28 generates an amplified displacement of said membrane 18 by a mechanical effect lever arm, which generates amplified sound.
    Preferably, the flexible ball 24 is positioned on the center of mass of the stamp / lever / membrane assembly.
    Preferably, the point of connection of the lever 20 with the membrane 18 is located at a distance from the center of said membrane 18 less than 40%, preferably less than 20%, of the width of said membrane 18. In particular preferred, the point of connection of the lever 20 with the membrane 18 is located at the center of said membrane 18, in order to have a maximum lever arm effect.
    In another variant, provision can be made to position the connection point at the periphery of the membrane, by playing on the elasticity of the attachment point and the torsion of the membrane.
    Advantageously, the vibration amplification device, and more particularly the support 22 of the lever 20 is isolated from the movement, the striking mechanism 9 and the frame 10. For this purpose, the support 22 of the lever 20 can be mounted on an element of the casing and more particularly on the bezel 5 if the sound is transmitted on the dial side, on the bottom 4, if the sound is transmitted through the bottom. The ringing gong 14 being embedded in the transmission member 28 integral with the lever 20, said gong 14 is not fixed to the frame via a heel, as traditionally, but seems to float around the movement.
    The support 22 of the lever 20 can also be mounted on the movement, or even on the middle part 3, but via an insulating element 35, such as a polymer, in order to ensure the isolation of the support 22 of movement, build and frame.
    When the support 22 of the lever 20 is mounted on one of the elements of the box (bezel 5, caseband 3, bottom 4), it is also possible to isolate the movement from the rest of the watch by providing a device of insulation on the movement, between the movement and said element of the box which carries the support 22 of the lever 20. Such an isolation device can be for example a brass ring associated with a flat seal or an insulation ring polyetheretherketone (PEEK) loaded with carbon. For example, in order to isolate the movement, the latter can be clamped on a PEEK insulating circle, itself screwed into the caseband.
    When the support 22 of the lever 20 is mounted on the bezel 5, respectively on the bottom 4, said bezel 5, respectively said bottom 4 can be assembled directly on the middle part 3 in a conventional manner. However, in order to ensure that no parasitic vibration will occur on the middle part 3 and therefore on the movement, said bezel 5, respectively said bottom 4 is assembled on the middle part 3 by means of an insulating element, such as 'a polymer.
    The membrane 18 is mounted on the bottom 4, if the sound is transmitted by the bottom, or the bezel 5 if the sound is transmitted on the dial side. Thus, the membrane 18 is also isolated from the movement and from the striking mechanism 9.
    Consequently, the vibration amplifying device and the membrane are isolated from the movement and from the frame so that all the vibrations of the gong recovered by the lever 20 are directed and transmitted to the membrane 18, without transmission to the movement, to the frame or the caseband.
    The lever 20 is preferably made of a very light and very rigid material. For example, the lever 20 can be made of steel, titanium, aluminum, magnesium, composite material, carbon, glass, sapphire and ceramic.
    The membrane 18 must be able to vibrate freely. It is preferably made of a very light and rigid material in order to have a great dynamic response and not to deform during its movement. The membrane 18 is preferably made of a transparent material. For example, the membrane 18 can be made in the form of a plate, in sapphire, mineral glass, plexiglass, etc. Thus, the membrane 18 can be constituted by a third inner crystal disposed under the second crystal 7 (or the first glass 6 if applicable). The membrane 18 can also be made of composite materials, cellulose, or composite glass of the safety glass type. It is obvious that the membrane 18 can also be made of a material that is not completely transparent, such as translucent or opaque materials, such as metallic glass, titanium, silicon, ceramic, carbon fiber composite, cellulose or kevlar.
    The membrane 18 must be as rigid and as light as possible. For this, its thickness is less than 1 mm, preferably less than 0.5 mm and more preferably less than 0.3 mm.
    Referring more specifically to Figure 5, the membrane 18 is preferably mounted on a suspension to allow it to vibrate freely while ensuring the seal. The suspension can be produced by means of a shaped seal arranged around the membrane 18 or an O-ring seal arranged at the periphery on either side of the membrane 18, between said membrane 18 and the bottom 4 (or telescope 5 if applicable). It is also possible to structure the membrane 18 to improve its flexibility, for example by means of grooves 38 provided at the periphery of the membrane 18. It is also possible to vary the thickness of the membrane 18.
    Advantageously, the timepiece further comprises a compression chamber 40 arranged to amplify the sound which has been generated by the displacement of the membrane, by being already amplified a first time, before its output to outside.
    The compression chamber 40 is closed by a wall disposed downstream of the membrane 18 and having at least one opening 42 directed towards the outside of the part. The dimensions of the opening 42 are chosen with respect to the surface of the membrane 18 as a function of the desired amplification of the sound.
    Preferably, when the membrane 18 is disposed on the bottom 4, said wall is formed by the second lens 7. Said second lens 7 must be strong and scratchproof. It is preferably made of sapphire.
    The wall disposed downstream of the membrane 18 makes it possible to generate a certain volume of air in the compression chamber 40. The displacement of the membrane 18 generates compression of this air. The ratio between the surface of the membrane 18 in movement defining the volume of air and the size of the openings will make it possible to generate a second amplification of the sound.
    The opening 42 can be in different shapes: hole in the center of the wall, here the second glass 7, several side holes, a multitude of microholes, etc. The shape of the outlet opening can be conical to further amplify the sound. Advantageously, the opening 42 may be in the form of one or more longitudinal grooves extending around the middle part, parallel to the plane of the movement, and obtained by leaving a space, for example between the bottom 4 and the middle part 3 if the membrane 18 is placed on the bottom 4, as shown in FIG. 9. Such lateral openings 42 advantageously make it possible to redirect the sound generated by the membrane 18 onto the arm of the wearer of the wristwatch, giving to the wearer the sensation of an even more amplified sound.
    Referring to Figures 6 to 8, the timepiece advantageously comprises modular closure means 44 of the opening 42 of the compression chamber 40 arranged to be able to adjust the volume of the sound generated by the membrane 18. These closure means 44 are arranged to be able to be moved between a closed position in which the opening 42 is fully closed and an open position in which the opening 42 is maximum, the intermediate positions making it possible to plug more or less. opening 42 to adjust the sound volume. For example, when the opening 42 is lateral, the closure means 44 may comprise a rotating element such as a ring, mounted in rotation on the base 4, and arranged to rotate between a closed position in which the opening 42 is fully plugged, as shown in Figure 7, and an open position in which the opening 42 is maximum, as shown in Figure 8.
    Advantageously, the opening 42 can be protected by a filter permeable to air and impermeable to water, in order to prevent impurities from entering the compression chamber 40. Such filters are known to those skilled in the art.
    Advantageously, and with reference to Figure 9, the timepiece may include a mechanism for closing the opening 42 of the compression chamber 40 arranged to close said opening 42 once the sound is generated. , for example outside the ringing time. Such a mechanism makes it possible to limit the entry of impurities when the vibration generator device is not in use. In particular, when the opening 42 is lateral, the closing mechanism may comprise a closing member 46, such as a ring, controlled by the striking mechanism so as to close the opening 42 automatically once the ringing has ended. Such a mechanism is described for example in patent CH 704 940 incorporated by reference.
    When the membrane 18 is placed on the bottom 4 and the sound is generated on the bottom side, it is also possible to provide a reflector, arranged to allow the generated sound to go up on the side of the watch. Such a reflector is for example positioned on the outside of the case back, and has outer conical walls surrounding the case back and directed towards the watch.
    The timepiece according to the invention allows a significant amplification of the sound: the ratio of the first amplification carried out by means of the lever 20 is of the order of 10 to 16. In addition, due to the ratio between the moving surface of the membrane 18 and the opening 42 (surface ratio of 20 to 30), the ratio of the second amplification is of the order of 1.5. The ratio of the total amplification achieved by the watch according to the invention is such that a sound greater than 80 dB can be obtained, or even 90 dB, compared to a standard minute repeater sound of 60 dB.
    In addition, the construction and mounting of the amplification device allow the vibration generator device and the membrane to be isolated from the movement, the frame and the middle, so that all the vibrations are directed onto the membrane at the means of the lever without going through the movement. There is therefore little or no noise, generally linked to the vibrations of the components of the movement.
    In addition, the striking power on the gong can be increased without having an impact on the vibrations of the components in the movement.
    In addition, the amplification device with the membrane being integral with the bottom or the bezel, it is possible to easily access the movement and the gongs for their adjustment after only removing the bottom, respectively the bezel.
    Finally, the construction of the amplification device with the membrane is such that the tightness of the box has no impact on the sound volume, unlike all the other principles of minute repeats, for example. In fact, the membrane with its suspension makes the system watertight with the exception of the compression chamber 40. The latter can be made watertight by a filter system.
