Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a device for winding or adjusting and for verifying a mechanical watch or even a mechanical watch movement, for example with an automatic or electromechanical winding mechanism. The winding or adjusting device comprises at least one support on which the watch or mechanical watch movement is arranged. In particular, the support can be driven in a rotary movement by a motorized arrangement to allow recharging of an energy source, generally a barrel with a spring. Background Art

[0002] In the field of electromechanical watches provided with hands, systems for correcting the time displayed by the watch are known. Such systems allow the watch to be readjusted to the correct time, for example in the event of a change of time zone or between summer time / winter time.

[0003] For example, such a system for correcting the time is described in patent application EP 1 553 469 A1. The system is provided with a device for indicating the time correction, which, according to one embodiment, comprises a computer connected to a camera and to a circuit for generating a signal for correcting the time. The watch comprises: a communication device to receive data for correcting the time contained in the signal; and a device for moving the pointer to the correct time. The watch can be placed on a support, where the time is indicated by a pointer visible on the top, and the camera can take a photo of the position of the pointer, which is sent to the computer to identify the time displayed by the watch. The computer thus generates correction data including a reference time and transmits the data to the watch via a circuit for generating a signal. However, the disadvantage of such a system is that it requires a change in the movement of the watch in order to incorporate therein the communication device and the device for moving the pointer. Such a system is bulky and restrictive and requires a computer for correcting the time. In addition, a lack of precision is observed, because in order to verify the time displayed by the watch, the watch placed on the support is not in a room or housing protected from external light, which can lead to reading errors.

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages, it is known that a watch display case is suitable for accommodating a watch on a support, and the watch display case includes a device for re-adjusting the watch to the correct time. For this purpose, the patent application WO 2012 / 126978 A1 describing such a display case can be mentioned. According to a specific embodiment, the display case described in this document includes a removable support for accommodating a watch and a device for winding the watch connected to a camera. The winding device includes a data analysis device. Once the watch is placed on the removable support of the display case, the camera records an image of the position of the pointer and sends the image to the analysis device. The analysis device thus determines the time displayed by the watch and transmits the instruction for correcting the time to the winding device by comparing it with a reference time. Therefore, the winding device allows the watch to be wound by a direct mechanical action on the crown winding stem of the watch. The display case is mechanically complex and is limited to re-adjusting the watch with the crown winding stem to the correct time. Once set in a closed display case, nothing is provided to allow the watch to be viewed from the outside during non-measurement.

[0005] Patent EP 3 339 984 B1 describes a device for winding a watch, comprising a motor for producing the winding, a device for acoustically measuring the oscillator of the watch on its support in the winding position, and a control device for analyzing the signal transmitted by the measuring device in order to adjust the operation of the motor by engaging the motor when the amplitude of the operation of the oscillator is less than a minimum value, and stopping the motor when the amplitude is greater. The acoustic measuring device is fastened in the base. Nothing is provided about the measurements performed by the system for viewing the time displayed by the watch (which is in a case protected from external light) in order to correct the time in the case. Furthermore, it is not possible to view the watch from the outside during non-measurement periods. Summary of the invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device for winding or adjusting and for verifying a mechanical watch or a timepiece movement, allowing the watch or the mechanical movement to be viewed in a non-measuring position from the outside of the housing of the device, in particular a mechanical watch with an automatic or electromechanical winding mechanism, while overcoming the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art. In addition, the device comprises a visual system for verifying the state of the watch in the measuring position in order to provide a measurement signal, in particular to an electronic circuit for processing the data, in order to enable the resetting of the mechanical or electromechanical watch or the timepiece movement to the correct time to be performed.

[0007] To this end, the invention relates to a device for winding or adjusting and for calibrating a mechanical watch or timepiece movement, such as a mechanical watch with an automatic winding mechanism, comprising the features defined in independent claim 1 .

[0008] Specific forms of the device are defined in dependent claims 2 to 11.

[0009] One advantage of the device for winding or adjusting and for verifying a mechanical watch, preferably with an automatic winding mechanism, is the fact that the device comprises a known visual system to verify the time displayed by the watch when the watch is moved or placed in a measuring position in a visual system protected from light from outside the housing. Once the measurement has been performed and the watch can be readjusted to the correct time by a dedicated device outside the visual system for readjusting to the correct time, the watch on its support is moved or placed in a non-measuring position. In this non-measuring position, the watch or watch movement can be viewed from the outside of the housing through an electronic shutter or light valve in a transparent state. In an alternative embodiment, the visual system can be moved to a non-measuring position in the housing after the measurement, instead of moving the support with the watch. In this non-measuring position, the housing comprises a light valve or an electronic shutter on the housing face to view the watch on its support in its non-measuring position.

[0010] Advantageously, in the non-measuring position, the watch on its support is arranged on an axis that is not coaxial with the axis of the visual system during calibration of the watch and readjustment of the watch to the correct time. In this non-measuring position, the watch is arranged to be viewed from the outside through a light valve or an electronic shutter that can be activated electronically. In the activated state, the light valve or the electronic shutter is transparent to view the watch inside the housing in its non-measuring position. However, in the measuring position in the optical system, the electronic shutter or the light valve is in an opaque state so as not to interfere with the measurements in the visual system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] In the following description, reference is made to a device for winding or adjusting and for checking a mechanical watch or watch movement, in particular with an automatic or electromechanical winding mechanism. All electronic or optical components of the device, known to a person skilled in the art in this technical field, are described only in a simplified manner. Although reference is made to an electromechanical watch or watch movement mounted on a support in the device, by simplification in the rest of the description, reference is mainly made to mechanical watches only, for example with an automatic winding mechanism.

[0016] Figure 1A and Figure 1B A first embodiment of a device 1 for winding or adjusting and for checking a mechanical or electromechanical watch 20 or a timepiece movement is shown. The watch 20 may be arranged on a support 10 which is movable from a first position, which is a non-measuring position, to a second position, which is a measuring position in a vision system 50. Figure 1A The non-measured position shown in Figure 1B The movement to the measuring position shown in (and vice versa) is preferably performed automatically by a drive device in the housing, for example a unit with a rotary motor. Preferably, in the non-measuring position, the visual system 50 is closed. The support 10 of the watch 20 or of the watch movement can usually be driven in rotation, especially if the mechanical watch 20 has an automatic winding mechanism. The motorization device 2, which includes at least one electric motor, is connected by an axis D to the support 10 of the watch 20 defining the watch carrier, so as to drive it in rotation mainly in the non-measuring position, but it is also possible to drive it in rotation in the measuring position in the visual system 50.

[0017] The watch 20 on its support 10 and the visual system 50 for measuring the state of the mechanical watch 20 are placed in a housing 4, 5 which may have a generally rectangular parallelepiped shape. The housing may comprise a first portion 4, on which at least one optical shutter 3 or at least one light valve 3 may be placed or placed so as to pass through the first portion 4, and a second base portion 5, on which the first portion 4 is mounted. The first portion 4 of the housing may be mounted or fastened to the opening of the second base portion 5 by interlocking or snapping together to close the housing. However, as Figure 1A and 1BNot shown in detail, the first part 4 can be rotatably mounted or pivotally mounted on the opening of the second part 5 of the housing by a hinge or an articulated connection. In this alternative embodiment, this helps to open and close the housing in order to mount the watch 20 on its support 10.

[0018] Once the gauge 20 is placed on its support 10 and in the non-measuring position, it can be observed from outside the device 1, in particular by a person P, through the optical shutter 3 or light valve 3, which is electronically made transparent in this non-measuring position. However, in the measuring position of the gauge 20 in the vision system 50, the optical shutter 3 or light valve 3 is made opaque to ensure a good measurement of the state of the gauge 20 in the vision system 50.

[0019] For the first embodiment of the movement of the support 10 of the watch 20 of the device 1 from the non-measuring position to the measuring position, a unit with a rotary motor allows the rotation of this support 10 about an axis of rotation R perpendicular to the axis D of the support 10, the unit with a rotary motor being mounted on a support plate 6 fastened in the housing. Preferably, the axis of rotation R is located at the motorization device 2 of the axis D of the support 10, so as to drive the mechanical watch 20 so that the automatic winding of said watch is performed even in the non-measuring position. Preferably, the watch carrier, in particular including the watch 20 on its support 10 connected by the axis D to the motorization device 2, rotates from the non-measuring position to the measuring position (or vice versa) about the axis of rotation R. The watch carrier switches or rotates from the non-measuring position to the measuring position, in which the detection of the state of the watch 20 is performed by the visual system 50, which supplies the measurement signals to the electronic circuit with a processing unit, the purpose of which is to control the readjustment of said watch 20 to the correct time by means of a dedicated device for readjustment to the correct time, external to the visual system 50. In the measuring position, the state of the watch is determined within several minutes. This means that for most of the time, the watch 20 is visible in the non-measuring position through the electronic shutter 3 or light valve 3 which is made transparent in this non-measuring position.

[0020] It should be noted that when not worn, the mechanical watch 20 with an automatic winding mechanism becomes loose. In order to rewind the spring drum, the intelligent winding mechanism usually solves this problem by applying a motion on the watch that rotates the pendulum. It is known to use the gentle swing of the watch, which is defined as "dorlotage" at a specific frequency of the spiral balance wheel of the mechanical watch, which allows the operation or operation to be controlled by the quartz precision set in the intelligent winding mechanism. If the care frequency does not exceed a typical value, such as + / -30 seconds per day, a small correction can be made. If the state of the watch is known, the watch can be adjusted directly to the correct time, but the time used to re-adjust the watch to the correct time according to this principle will be quite long (several hours). For this reason, in order to first know the state of the watch 20, a visual system 50 is used. The visual system 50 is mainly composed of one or more light sources 14 (such as light emitting diodes), a dome-shaped member 16 and at least one camera 15, which is arranged in the dome-shaped member 16 in the direction of the axis D of the support member 10 carrying the watch 20 to be calibrated. Preferably, the camera 15 is centrally arranged in the top of the dome-shaped piece 16, based on the rotation axis D of the support 10 carrying the watch 20 to be measured in the measuring position. One or more light sources 14 are arranged for annular illumination around the camera 15 to illuminate the watch 20 on the dial side, which mainly carries the hands arranged on the dial for indicating the time. The purpose of the annular illumination 14 and the dome-shaped piece 16 of the vision system 50 is not to generate any shadows and reflections to perform the measurement and define the state of the watch.

[0021] A visual system 50 is provided to provide measurement signals related to the state of the watch. These measurement signals are transmitted to a processing unit with a processor in an electronic circuit for processing the signals, the electronic circuit (not shown) being external to the visual system 50, or being arranged in the support 10 of the watch 20, which can also be provided. This allows the time indicated by the detected pointer to be identified or determined, and therefore allows the time indicated by the watch to be automatically adjusted by a dedicated device external to the visual system for re-adjusting to the correct time. A connection to the supply voltage of the electronic circuit and the visual system is required, and a power supply provided by a conventional power grid can be used.

[0022] This is all known, in particular defined in patent EP 3 572 887 B1, which is incorporated herein by reference and will not be described in detail in the present invention, because the object of the present invention is mainly to be able to view the watch from the outside when it is in a non-measuring position. This patent EP 3 572 887 B1 describes a device for winding and re-adjusting a mechanical or automatic watch to the correct time, which is arranged on a support in the device. A visual system is used, and it may also have a microphone, allowing the frequency and operation of the watch in the measuring position of the watch to be evaluated, and the amplitude of the spiral balance wheel. A processing unit or a state control device with a processor is provided in an electronic circuit directly linked to the visual system, or provided in a link to the support 10 of the watch 20.

[0023] The electronic circuit also includes a program for controlling all motorized devices or units with rotary motors arranged in the housings 4, 5 for automatically controlling the movement of the support 10 of the watch 20 or the visual system 50 from the non-measuring position to the measuring position or from the measuring position to the non-measuring position. Typically, the device 1 is in the measuring position for only a few minutes per day, which means that for most of the time, the watch 20 on the support 10 is in the non-measuring position of the device 1, allowing the watch to be easily viewed at almost all times of the day.

[0024] The housing may be made of metal, or ceramic material, or a combination of ceramic and metal, or even of hard plastic. The light valve 3 or the electronic shutter 3 is arranged on the first part 4 of the housing, and the light valve 3 or the electronic shutter 3 is connected to the processing unit of the visual system 50 or in the support 10 of the meter 20 by a metal wire. Preferably, the electronic shutter 3 or the light valve 3 may be arranged on at least one inclined surface of the first part 4 of the housing. Preferably, the surface on which the electronic shutter 3 or the light valve 3 is arranged is perpendicular to the axis D of the support 10 for driving the meter 20 in the non-measuring position. As in the non-measuring position of the device 1 Figure 1A The axis D shown in FIG. 1 is of course the same as when the device 1 is in a position such as Figure 1B In the measurement position shown in FIG. 5 , the measurement axes of the vision system 50 are not coaxial.

[0025] Preferably, the size of the electronic shutter 3 or light valve 3 must be larger than the diameter or size of the dial of the exposed watch 20 to allow the watch 20 to be well visible to a person P viewing the watch from the outside of the housing 4, 5 of the device 1. Preferably, according to the first embodiment of the device 1, the electronic shutter 3 or light valve 3 occupies the vast majority of the first part 4 of the housing. The electronic shutter 3 or light valve 3 may even be continuously distributed on the vertical plane and the horizontal plane, and linked to the inclined plane on each side. Under these conditions, the size of the electronic shutter 3 or light valve 3 has a size greater than twice the visible size of the watch 20 in the housing.

[0026] It is clear that preferably the motorized device or unit described above with a rotary or linear motor comprises an electric motor, but it is also possible to use other motors to perform the desired function.

[0027] Figure 2A and Figure 2B A second embodiment of a device 1 for winding or adjusting and for checking a watch 20 or a timepiece movement is shown. This second embodiment differs from the first mainly by the assembly 30 on which the watch carrier with the support 10 of the watch 20 is mounted. If the watch 20 is a watch with an automatic winding mechanism, the motorization device 2 is connected to the support 10 of the watch 20 by an axis D, thus allowing the watch 20 to rotate continuously on its support 10.

[0028] The watch bearing assembly 30 is movably mounted on the inner base of the second part 5 of the housing. Preferably, the watch bearing assembly 30 is rotatably mounted on the inner base of the second part 5 of the housing. It is also possible that the watch bearing assembly 30 is fastened to the inner side of the ball bearing 7, while the outer side of the ball bearing 7 is fastened to the inner base of the second part 5 of the housing. Thus, the watch bearing assembly 30 can be driven in rotation from the inner base by a motor (not shown), which is preferably an electric motor, based on a vertical rotation axis Rv.

[0029] Therefore, the watch carrier assembly 30 can be easily removed from Figure 2A The non-measurement position shown is driven rotationally to Figure 2B . Similar to the first embodiment, once the watch 20 is on its support 10. In the non-measuring position of the watch carrier assembly 30, the electronic shutter 3 or the light valve 3 is activated to be transparent; while in the measuring position of the watch carrier assembly 30, the electronic shutter 3 or the light valve 3 is disabled to be in an opaque state so as not to interfere with the measurement in the vision system 50.

[0030] The arrangement of the electronic shutter 3 or light valve 3 is similar to that described in the first embodiment above. However, the first part 4 of the housing may have a larger dimension, which corresponds approximately to half of the total dimension of the housing and therefore approximately to the dimension of the second part 5 of the housing. In this case, the first part 4 of the housing may be rotatably mounted on the second part 5 of the housing by a hinge or an articulated connection, the housing being in an open position for mounting the watch 20 on the support 10 or in a sealed closed position in which the first part 4 closes the second part 5 of the housing.

[0031] Figure 3A and Figure 3BA third embodiment of a device 1 for winding or adjusting and for checking a watch 20 or a timepiece movement is shown. This third embodiment differs from the first and second embodiments mainly in that the watch carrier with support 10 of watch 20 (connected by axis D to motorization device 2) does not move from a "non-measuring" position to a "measuring" position. Under these conditions, an assembly 40 with a vision system 50 is rotatably mounted in the case about a vertical axis Rp and is mainly located in a first portion 4 of the case. The assembly 40 with a vision system 50 comprises, at its base, at least one circular portion 41 toothed on the periphery, which circular portion 41 can be driven in rotation by a toothed wheel 42 connected to an electric drive motor (not shown).

[0032] An assembly 40 with a vision system 50 must be provided to move the vision system 50 from a first position corresponding to a non-measuring position of the device to a second position corresponding to a measuring position. In the non-measuring position, the vision system 50 is opposite to the part of the first part 4 of the housing in which the electronic shutter 3 or the light valve 3 is located, such as Figure 3A , the electronic shutter 3 or the light valve 3 is activated to be transparent. However, in the measuring position, the vision system 50 is rotated to be located facing the electronic shutter 3 or the light valve 3, in which case the electronic shutter 3 or the light valve 3 is made opaque.

[0033] The housing may be the same as that described in the second embodiment. The electronic shutter 3 or light valve 3 may be partially disposed on or through the inclined surface of the first portion 4 of the housing, and the other portions may be connected by wires disposed on the vertical and horizontal surfaces of the first portion 4 of the housing.

[0034] With regard to the electronic shutter 3 or light valve 3, the embodiments described in Swiss patent application CH 712 212 A2 can be used. This Swiss patent application mainly describes an optical device consisting of two liquid crystal cells that are superimposed and controlled so as to change from a transparent state to an opaque state (and vice versa). In any case, embodiments of both electronic shutters or light valves having these two transparent and opaque states are known from the prior art and can be controlled by the electronic circuit described above.

[0035] It should be noted that the movement from the non-measuring position to the measuring position of the watch carrier, or of the assembly comprising the watch carrier, or of the assembly with the vision system, has been mainly described by means of a rotational movement. However, it is also possible to have a linear movement of the watch carrier or of the assembly with the vision system in order to move from the non-measuring position to the measuring position (or vice versa), but this necessarily complicates its execution.

[0036] Based on the description that has just been given of a device for winding or adjusting and for calibrating a mechanical or electromechanical watch or a timepiece mechanical movement, several embodiments of this device may be carried out without going beyond the context of the invention defined by the claims.
