Embodiment Construction

[0018] The invention proposes to develop a winder that avoids excessive stress on the mechanical parts of the watch movement and saves energy.

[0019] Here, "wristwatch" is any watch capable of being charged by an action applied to it or by an action on the winding crown: a mechanical self-winding or hand-wound watch, or an "automatic quartz ( Autoquartz)" or "Automeca" type electronic watches using mechanical energy. The device according to the invention winds the watch precisely to the right degree.

[0020] "Shangjo" also means charging the watch.

[0021] For a normal mechanical watch, it is best practice to keep the mainspring wound to such a level that the amplitude of the oscillator formed by the balance wheel / hairspring assembly approaches 250° in most cases. This value corresponds to a reasonable winding of the mechanism and corresponds to the most accurate rate of the watch in all positions.

[0022] The invention realizes a simple servo mechanism for winding a m...

Abstract

The invention relates to a watch winding device, with a motor driving a winding operation, means for acoustic measurement of the oscillator of a watch in the winding position, control means analysingthe signals transmitted by the measuring means and comparing them to desired values that can be parameterized to regulate the operation of the motor by starting this motor when the operating amplitudeof the oscillator is less than a minimum value, and by stopping this motor when the working amplitude is higher than a maximum value, these acoustic measuring means are fixed in a base behind an sensing opening of the acoustic sensor means, the device includes an acoustic duct which places a receiving port, located inside a chamber for housing a watch, in communication with a transmitting port movable by the motor facing this sensing opening.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a watch winding device for a mechanical watch or an electronic watch with a mechanical energy source, the watch winding device comprising at least one energy source arranged to power at least one motor arranged to adapted to turn a winding crown of a manually wound watch, or to drive at least one oscillating weight of a self-winding automatic watch, or to oscillate at least one self-winding automatic watch, said apparatus comprising control means comprising a first an acoustic measuring device, the first acoustic measuring device integrating sensing means for the acoustic measurement of an oscillator of at least one watch in the winding position, said control means being arranged to analyze a signal transmitted by a chemical measuring device and comparing said signal with an expected value which may be parameterized by activating said motor and in said oscillator when the operating amplitude of said oscillator is less than or equ...
