摘要:
A timepiece assembly including a combined resonator with at least two degrees of freedom which includes a first linear or rotary oscillator with reduced amplitude in a first direction relative to which oscillates a second linear or rotary oscillator with reduced amplitude in a second direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction. The rotary oscillator includes a second weight carrying a sliding-block. A wheel set is arranged for application of a torque to the resonator, the wheel set including a groove in which the sliding-block slides with minimal play. The sliding-block is arranged at least either to follow curvature of the groove when present, or to rub with friction in the groove, or to repel the inner lateral surfaces of the groove by magnetically or electrically charged surfaces in the sliding-block.

There is provided a device for regulating the operation of a horological movement, including a magnetic escapement, which includes a resonator and a magnetic escapement mobile turning about an axis. The mobile includes at least one magnetic track with a plurality of magnets having an angular dimension that is greater than their radial dimension. The resonator includes at least one magnetic element for coupling to the magnetic track. The coupling element extends radially relative to the axis of rotation, and has a contour with a portion oriented substantially angularly when the resonator is in the rest position. When the mobile is driven in rotation, each magnet penetrates beneath the coupling element and gradually accumulates some potential magnetic energy. The magnet then exits from beneath the coupling element through the portion and the coupling element receives a pulse located around its rest position.

The invention relates to a rotating oscillator for a timepiece comprising a support element designed to allow the oscillator to be assembled on a timepiece, a balance, a plurality of flexible blades connecting the support element to the balance and able to exert a return torque on the balance, and a felloe mounted secured to the balance. The plurality of flexible blades comprises at least two flexible blades, including a first blade positioned in a first plane perpendicular to the plane of the oscillator, and a second blade positioned in a second plane perpendicular to the plane of the oscillator and intersecting the first plane. The geometric oscillation axis of the oscillator is defined by the intersection of the first plane and the second plane, said geometric oscillation axis crossing the first and second blades at ⅞th of their respective lengths.

THE INVENTION CONCERNS A WATCH MOVEMENT REGULATING DEVICE WHICH COMPRISES A MECHANICAL REGULATING OSCILLATOR AND AN ENERGIZING HEAD RIGIDLY CONNECTED TO SAID OSCILLATOR. THE FREE END OF THE WIRE SHAPED ENERGIZING HEAD HAS A CROSS SECTION VERY MUCH SMALLER THAN THAT OF THE OSCILLATOR AND ENTERS IN SUCCESSIVE CONTACTS WITH THE TOOTHING OF A REGULATING WHEEL OF THE WATCH MOVEMENT WHICH IS DRIVEN IN ROTATION BY THE WATCH WINDING SPRING. IN THIS ASSEMBLY THE NECESSARY ENERGY TO KEEP THE OSCILATOR IN OSCILLATION IS DERIVED FROM THE SAID WINDING SPRING AND DELIVERED THROUGH THE INTERMEDIARY OF SAID REGULATING WHEEL AND THE ENERGIZATION HEAD TO SAID OSCILLATOR. THE OSCILLATOR IN ITS TURN REGULATES, THROUGH THE INTERMEDIARY OF SAID ENERGIZATION HEAD, THE SPEED OF ROTATION OF THE REGULATING WHEEL.
摘要:
A method for maintaining and regulating frequency of a timepiece resonator mechanism around its natural frequency, the method including: at least one regulator device acting on the resonator mechanism with a periodic motion, to impose a periodic modulation of resonant frequency or quality factor or a position of a point of rest of the resonator mechanism, with a regulation frequency between 0.9 times and 1.1 times the value of an integer multiple of the natural frequency, the integer being greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to 10, and the periodic motion imposes a periodic modulation of the quality factor of the resonator mechanism, by acting on losses and/or damping and/or friction of the resonator mechanism.
