[0031] As Figures 1 to 5 shown in a specific embodiment, the present application discloses a flying saucer type escapement timing device, comprising a flying saucer fixed wheel part 10, a rotating flying saucer clamp plate wheel part 20, an escapement wheel part 30, an escapement fork part 40, a flying saucer fork clamp plate part 50, a hairspring balance wheel part 60, and a flying saucer swing clamp plate part 70; the flying saucer fixed wheel part 10 is connected with the rotating flying saucer clamp plate wheel part 20, the escapement wheel part 30 is connected with the flying saucer fixed wheel part 10 and the rotating flying saucer clamp plate wheel part 20, the escapement fork part 40 is connected with the escapement wheel part 30 and the rotating flying saucer clamp plate wheel part 20, the flying saucer fork clamp plate part 50 is connected with the rotating flying saucer clamp plate wheel part 20, the escapement wheel part 30 and the escapement fork part 40, the hairspring balance wheel part 60 is connected with the rotating flying saucer clamp plate wheel part 20, the escapement fork part 40 and the flying saucer swing clamp plate part 60, and the flying saucer swing clamp plate part 50 is also connected with the rotating flying saucer clamp plate wheel part 20.

[0032] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, a plurality of bearing balls 11 are provided between the rotating flying saucer clamp plate wheel part 20 and the flying saucer fixed wheel part 10, and the rotating flying saucer clamp plate wheel part 20 is rotatably connected with the flying saucer fixed wheel part 10 through the bearing balls 11, so that the rotating flying saucer clamp plate wheel part 20 can rotate through the bearing balls 11.

[0033] In this embodiment, the flying saucer fixed wheel part 10 is connected with the external main clamp plate (not shown in the figure) through a plurality of threaded pipes 14, which plays a fixed role.

[0034] As Figures 1 to 5As shown, the rotating saucer clamp wheel component 20 includes a rotating saucer clamp wheel 21 and a cage column 22; the rotating saucer clamp wheel 21 is rotatably connected to the saucer fixing wheel component 10 through the bearing ball 11, and the saucer pendulum clamp component 70 is connected to the rotating saucer clamp wheel 21 through the cage column 22, which serves to fix it; the outer circumference of the rotating saucer clamp wheel 21 is also provided with gear teeth 23, which are connected to the external tourbillon transmission mechanism 80 for transmission, and the external tourbillon transmission mechanism 80 provides kinetic energy transmission, so that the rotating saucer clamp wheel 21 obtains rotational energy.

Since the rotating flying saucer clamp wheel 21 has kinetic energy, this kinetic energy channel is connected through the escape wheel gear shaft 32, and the escape wheel gear shaft 32 obtains rotational kinetic energy.

[0036] Among them, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the escapement fork assembly 40 includes an escapement fork body 41, an escapement fork shaft 42, and an escapement fork advance / exit plate 43. The escapement fork body 41 is connected to the rotating disc clamp wheel 21 via the escapement fork shaft 42. The escapement fork body 41 is connected to the escapement wheel 31 via the escapement fork advance / exit plate 43. The escapement fork body 41 is also connected to the balance wheel assembly 60. After the escapement wheel shaft 32 obtains rotational kinetic energy, it drives the escapement wheel 31 to move. Then, the escapement wheel 31 drives the escapement fork body 41 to move via the escapement fork advance / exit plate 43.

[0037] Among them, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the flying saucer fork clamp component 50 includes a flying saucer fork clamp 51 and a flying saucer fork clamp fixing screw 52; the flying saucer fork clamp 51 is connected to the escape wheel gear shaft 32 and the escape fork shaft 42, and the flying saucer fork clamp 51 is connected to the rotating flying saucer clamp wheel 21 through the flying saucer fork clamp fixing screw 52. The flying saucer fork clamp 51 serves to fix the escape wheel component 30 and the escape fork component 40, so that their movement is stable and they are not prone to loosening.

[0038] Among them, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, the balance wheel assembly 60 includes a balance shaft 61, a balance wheel 62, a hairspring 63, double discs 64, and disc pins 65; the balance wheel 62 is connected to the rotating saucer clamp wheel 21 via the balance shaft 61, the hairspring 63 and the double discs 64 are connected to the balance shaft 61, the escapement fork 41 is connected to the double discs 64 via the disc pins 65, and the balance shaft 61 is also connected to the saucer clamp assembly 70.

[0039] In this embodiment, the hairspring 63 is sleeved on the upper end of the balance shaft 61, and the double discs 64 are sleeved on the lower end of the balance shaft 61, resulting in a compact structure and stable and efficient motion.

[0040] Among them, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the UFO pendulum clamping plate component 70 includes a UFO pendulum clamping plate 71, a speed control needle body 72, and a speed control clamp 73; the UFO pendulum clamping plate 71 is connected to the pendulum shaft 51, the speed control needle body 72 is connected to the UFO pendulum clamping plate 71, the upper end of the speed control clamp 73 is connected to the speed control needle body 72, and the lower end is connected to the hairspring 63; the UFO pendulum clamping plate 71 is connected to the rotating UFO clamping plate wheel 21 through the cage column 22.

[0041] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, a lower shock absorber 24 is provided between the swing shaft 61 and the rotating flying saucer clamp wheel 21, and an upper shock absorber 74 is provided between the swing shaft 61 and the flying saucer clamp 71. The lower shock absorber 24 and the upper shock absorber 74 play a role in shock absorption.

[0042] Among them, such as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the upper shock absorber 74 is also fitted with a fine-tuning lever 75 on its outer periphery. The fine-tuning lever 75 is connected to the flying saucer clamp plate 71 through a fine-tuning eccentric pin 76. By rotating the fine-tuning eccentric pin 76, the position of the speed needle body 72 can be adjusted so that the connection position between the speed clamp 73 and the hairspring 63 can be adjusted.

[0043] The working principle of this invention is as follows: The flying saucer fixed wheel component 10 is rotatably attached to the rotating flying saucer clamp wheel 21 through the bearing ball 11 as an intermediary, thus the rotating flying saucer clamp wheel 21 gains the ability to rotate on its own; the edge of the rotating flying saucer clamp wheel 21 is provided with teeth 23, which mesh with the external tourbillon transmission mechanism 80 to obtain kinetic energy; on the other hand, the rotating flying saucer clamp wheel 21 is fixed to the flying saucer pendulum clamp 71 by two cage columns 22, and the flying saucer pendulum clamp 71 and the rotating flying saucer clamp wheel 21 are respectively equipped with an upper shock absorber 74 and a lower shock absorber 24, and a balance wheel component 60 is placed between them; on the other hand, the rotating flying saucer clamp wheel 21 is also connected to the escapement fork component 40 and the escapement wheel component 30, and the escapement fork component 40 and the escapement wheel component 30 are installed and move between the rotating flying saucer clamp wheel 21 and the flying saucer fork clamp 51, at which time the escapement mounted on the rotating flying saucer clamp wheel 21... The longitudinal wheel gear 32 meshes with the internal gear 12. Since the rotating disc-shaped clamp wheel 21 has kinetic energy, it connects to this kinetic energy channel through the escape wheel gear 32. After the escape wheel gear 32 obtains rotational kinetic energy, it uses the escape wheel plates 31 riveted together to move the escape fork body 41 left and right through the escape fork entry and exit plates 43. The swing of the escape fork body 41 is controlled by the end that meshes with the disc pin 65. The disc pin 65 is connected to the double disc 64. Therefore, the swing speed of the escape fork body 41 controls the rotational speed of the escape wheel plates 31. The swing speed of the escape fork body 41 is also controlled by the swing speed of the disc pin 65. The swing speed of the disc pin 65 is determined by the matched balance wheel 62. Usually, the degree of its swing frequency error directly affects the speed of timekeeping. Therefore, as long as the rotating disc-shaped clamp wheel 21 obtains kinetic energy, this disc-shaped tourbillon escape timing device (i.e., tourbillon speed regulating mechanism) can perform timekeeping work normally.

[0044] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown, the external gyroscope transmission mechanism 80 is a publicly available structure and will not be described in detail here.

[0045] The disc-shaped tourbillon escapement timing device is a complete tourbillon regulating device that can be independently installed on any mechanical watch movement to perform rotational speed regulation and timing functions.

[0046] This invention abandons the traditional tourbillon design with central support rotation and central transmission, and achieves a flying saucer-type tourbillon speed regulation mechanism that does not require central support rotation or central transmission. This greatly simplifies the traditional tourbillon speed regulation mechanism design, making the entire tourbillon speed regulation mechanism simple, reliable and stable in operation, and easy to manufacture, debug and maintain.

[0047] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of the present invention. In addition, the present invention can be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of the present technical solution are within the protection scope of the present invention.
