Definitions
- the invention relates to a wristwatch, preferably an electrically (electronically) operated wristwatch, the display elements of which are driven by a clockwise rotating drive (balance wheel, stepper motor) via a gear train, the display elements on the one hand continuously rotating hands (second, minute, hour hands) ) and on the other hand serve signal rings (signal disks, special pointers) that only change their position at certain times.
- a clockwise rotating drive balance wheel, stepper motor
- signal rings signal disks, special pointers
- a typical display element of the second type which only changes its position at certain times, is the indication of the calendar day.
- the calendar days from 1 to 31 are shown on a signal ring, which is rotated one step further to the next display by the clockwork of the clock every day, at around midnight.
- the signal ring carrying the calendar data is generally provided with an additional jump adjustment mechanism or with a mechanism such as that shown in DE-GM 19 07 388, for example, which operates within a relatively short time the adjustment causes.
- the service life of the battery depends not only on the internal battery structure, but also on the power consumption or the power requirement by the clockwork. It is not only the amount of the withdrawal that is decisive, but also the fluctuations in the size of this withdrawal.
- Such batteries used in modern wristwatches are designed, in particular, to deliver a relatively low current over a very long time. Current peaks, such as those required for calendar adjustment, have an extremely reducing effect on the overall service life of such batteries.
- the object of the invention is to provide a possibility for a rotary movement of the signal rings, which change their position only at certain times, which only requires a slight increase in the power consumption from the energy store when this rotary movement is carried out, so that a total power draw is required results, whose minima and maxima are as close together as possible.
- Non-uniformly abortive gears are, for example, elliptical gears or also gears in which an eccentrically mounted circular gear works together with a non-circular counter gear.
- the driving wheel is rotated uniformly by the clockwork or by the clockwise rotating drive of the clockwork, while the driving wheel performs a non-uniform rotary movement or has uneven angles of rotation per unit of time.
- the gear ratio changes constantly, which changes between two extremes, the gear ratio extremely slow and that extremely fast.
- the rotational movement is non-uniform, but also the torque of the driven wheel, which reciprocally follows the change in the rotational speed.
- the other extreme than the high rotational speed can of course also be used for an operation at this time. This is the case, for example, when a contact ring is to be rotated, which is only intended to give a contact pulse, the torque only playing a very minor role, but it is important that only one wiping contact occurs. Under certain circumstances, this can save additional snap elements that are otherwise necessary.
- the speed ratio between the cooperating wheels of the non-uniformly driven gear will generally be 1, but can also be a multiple thereof. Especially when changing the calendar, you will usually choose a speed ratio of 1 and provide a cycle time of one day for the driven wheel. However, this speed ratio, like this orbital period, is not mandatory; Larger ones are quite conceivable Speed ratios, as well as the rotation of the driven wheel within a period corresponding to the usual time units, i.e. within a minute, an hour, a half day, a day, a week, a month or a year.
- the non-uniformly abortive gear must be arranged outside the actual gear train, i.e. above or below the work plate of the clockwork, the wheels of this gear train must therefore be removed before maintenance of the gear train, it is recommended according to the invention that one of the Wheels of the cooperating pair of wheels of the non-uniformly abortive gear have a tooth with a larger tooth height relative to the other teeth and the other gear at the correct mutual position of the two wheels of this pair of wheels each has a correspondingly larger gap or several such gaps. This ensures that the two wheels of this pair of wheels are always used in the correct mutual position.
- the driven wheel 1 of a non-uniformly driving gear formed with two congruent elliptical wheels meshes with the driving wheel 2.
- the driving wheel 2 has a rotational speed as it results from Fig. 2 can be seen. 2
- the time axis of which is subdivided into equal time periods shows how the non-uniformly driving gear is converted into the uniform speed ⁇ 1 of the driven wheel 1 into an extremely non-uniform rotational speed ⁇ 2 of the driving wheel 2.
- Both wheels of the pair of wheels of this non-uniformly driven gear have shafts 11, 12, on which further circular wheels, or in the case of the driven wheel, drivers are arranged.
- the driven wheel is connected to the clockwork and the driven wheel to the display element via these elements.
- FIG. 7 shows a non-uniformly driven gear with a speed ratio of 2, so that the driven eccentrically mounted circular wheel 5 has to make two rotations in order to cause one rotation of the driven wheel 6.
- Fig. 8 shows a speed ratio of 3, in turn an eccentrically mounted, driven wheel 7 acting on a non-circular abrading wheel 8 and the driven wheel 7 having to make three revolutions for one revolution of the aborting wheel 8.
- only one rotation maxima and one rotation movement minimum or two torque minima and one torque maximum arise in one revolution of the driven wheel 7.
- FIG. 9 finally shows a view of the pair of wheels in which a larger tooth 9 is provided in a gear 1, each of which has a correspondingly larger gap 10 as taking into account the gear ratio corresponds to several such gaps 10 in the meshing wheel 2 with it. This ensures a clear adjustment of the meshing gears (1/2, 3/4, 5/6 7/8) as well as simple assembly.
