Definitions

the invention relates to a double spiral and its method of manufacture and, more particularly, to a double spiral formed in one piece.
the regulating member of a timepiece generally comprises an inertia flywheel called a balance wheel and a resonator called a spiral. These pieces are decisive for the running quality of the timepiece. Indeed, they regulate the movement, that is to say that they control the frequency of the movement.
the object of the present invention is to overcome all or part of the aforementioned drawbacks by proposing a double monoblock spiral whose thermo-elastic coefficient can be adjusted and which is obtained by means of a manufacturing process which minimizes the difficulties of 'assembly.
the invention relates to a double spiral comprising, made in a layer of silicon-based material, a first spiral spring mounted coaxially on a ferrule, the ferrule having an extension portion projecting from said spiral spring. and which is made in a second layer of silicon-based material characterized in said extending portion is extended in a third layer of silicon-based material coaxially with a second coil spring to form a double monoblock spiral made of silicon-based materials.
the invention relates to a timepiece characterized in that it comprises a double spiral according to one of the preceding variants.
Process 1 comprises successive steps intended to form at least one type of double monobloc spiral which can be integrally formed of silicon-based materials.
the first step 100 is to provide a substrate 3 of the silicon-on-insulator type (also known as the acronym English SOI).
the substrate 3 comprises an upper layer 5 and a lower layer 7 each composed of silicon-based material.
the substrate 3 is chosen so that the height of the lower layer 7 corresponds to the height of a portion of the final double spiral 21.
the upper layer 5 is used as spacing means with respect to the lower layer 7. Consequently, the height of the upper layer 5 will be adapted according to the configuration of the double spiral 21. According to said configuration, the thickness of the upper layer 5 can oscillate, for example, between 10 and 200 microns.
cavities 8 and 10 are selectively etched, for example by a deep reactive ion etching process (also known as DRIE), in the upper layer 5 of silicon-based material.
DRIE deep reactive ion etching process
these cavities 8 and 10 make it possible to form a pattern 9 defining the inner and outer contours of a portion of the ferrule made of silicon material of the double spiral.
the pattern 9 forms the middle part of the ferrule 27 of the double spiral 21.
the pattern 9 is substantially circular cylinder-shaped, however, advantageously according to the method 1, the etching on the upper layer 5 leaves no freedom as to the geometry of the pattern 9.
it may not necessarily be circular but, for example, elliptical and / or comprise a non-circular inner diameter.
a third step 102 an additional layer 11 of silicon-based material is added to the substrate 3.
the additional layer 11 is fixed on the upper layer 5 by means of fusion welding of the silicon-based material (also known as acronym SFB). So, step 102 advantageously allows to cover the upper layer 5 by bonding with a very strong adhesion including the upper face of the pattern 9 on the underside of the additional layer 11.
the additional layer 11 may, for example, have a thickness similar to that of the lower layer 7.
cavities 12 and 14 are selectively etched, for example, by a method of the DRIE type similar to that of step 101, in the additional silicon layer 11. These cavities 12 and 14 make it possible to form two patterns 13 and 15 defining the inner and outer contours of silicon parts of the double spiral 21.
the pattern 13 is substantially circular cylinder shaped and the pattern 15 substantially spiral.
the etching on the additional layer 11 leaves complete freedom on the geometry of the patterns 13 and 15.
the pattern 15 may, for example, have more turns or an open external curve.
the pattern 13 made in the additional layer 11 is of similar shape and substantially perpendicular to the pattern 9 made in the upper layer 5.
the cavities 10 and 12 respectively forming the inside diameter of the patterns 9 and 13 communicate together and are substantially one above the other.
the patterns 13 and 9 respectively form the upper and middle parts of the ferrule 27 of the double spiral 21.
At least one material bridge 16 is made in order to maintain the substrate 3 double spiral 21 during its manufacture.
a material bridge 16 is left between the outer curve of the pattern 15 and the remainder of the unetched layer 11.
the patterns 13 and 15 being etched at the same time, they therefore form a one-piece part in the additional layer 11.
the patterns 13 and 15 respectively form the upper part of the ferrule 27 and the first spiral spring 23 of the double spiral 21.
the patterns 13 and 15 etched in the additional layer 11 are connected from below the pattern 13, with a very strong adhesion, above the etched pattern 9 of the upper layer 5. and laterally by the outer curve of the pattern 15 to the additional layer 11.
the method 1 may comprise a fifth step 104 of oxidizing at least the pattern 15, that is to say the first spiral spring 23 of the double spiral in order to make it more mechanically resistant and to adjust its thermal coefficient. elastic.
a fifth step 104 of oxidizing at least the pattern 15, that is to say the first spiral spring 23 of the double spiral in order to make it more mechanically resistant and to adjust its thermal coefficient. elastic.
Such an oxidation step is explained in particular in the patent EP 1 422 436 which is incorporated by reference in the present description.
the method 1 can comprise three embodiments A, B and C as illustrated in FIG. figure 9 .
each of the three embodiments A, B and C ends with the same final step 106 of releasing the double spiral 21 manufactured from the substrate 3.
the release step 106 can be simply performed by providing a double spiral force 21 capable of breaking its material bridges 16.
This effort can, for example, be generated manually by an operator or by machining.
cavities 18 and 20 are selectively etched, for example, by a method of the DRIE type similar to that of the steps 101 and 103, in the lower layer 7 made of silicon-based material. These cavities 18 and 20 make it possible to form two patterns 17 and 19 defining the inner and outer contours of silicon parts of the double spiral 21.
the pattern 17 is substantially circular cylinder shaped and the pattern 19 substantially spiral.
the etching in the lower layer 7 leaves complete freedom on the geometry of the patterns 17 and 19.
the pattern 19 may, for example, have more turns or an open external curve.
the pattern 17 made in the lower layer 7 is of similar shape and substantially perpendicular to the pattern 9 made in the upper layer 5.
the cavities 18, 10 and 12 respectively forming the inner diameters of the patterns 17, 9 and 13 communicate together and are substantially one above the other.
the patterns 13, 9 and 17 form the ferrule 27 in one piece of the double spiral 21.
At least a second material bridge 16 is made in order to maintain the substrate 3 double spiral 21 during its manufacture.
a material bridge 16 is left between the outer curve of the pattern 19 and the remainder of the unetched layer 7.
the patterns 17 and 19 being etched at the same time, they therefore form a single piece in the lower layer 7.
the patterns 17 and 19 respectively form the lower part of the ferrule 27 and the second spiral spring 25 of the double spiral 21.
a double monoblock spiral 21 integrally formed of silicon-based materials is obtained, as can be seen in FIGS. Figures 10 and 11 . It is therefore understood that there is no longer any problem of assembly because it is directly carried out during the manufacture of the double hairspring 21.
the latter comprises a first hairspring 23, a second hairspring 25 which are coaxially connected to the hairspring. one with respect to the other with a single ferrule 27.
the ferrule 27 is formed by the three successive patterns 13, 9 and 17 by etching in the respective successive layers 11, 5 and 7. It is thus clear that the median pattern 9 is useful as a spacing means between the first spiral spring 23 and the second spiral spring 25 but also as guiding means of said spiral spring.
the thickness of the upper layer 5 it is thus possible, by choosing the thickness of the upper layer 5, to directly define the spacing between the two spiral springs 23 and 25 and the quality of their guidance.
the heights of the spiral springs 23, 25 and, incidentally, the upper 13 and lower 17 of the ferrule 27, which are not necessarily equal, can be directly defined by choosing the thicknesses of the additional layers 11 and lower respectively. 7.
each spiral spring 23 and 25 may comprise its own number. of turns, its own geometric characteristics close to the ferrule 27, its own winding direction of the turns but also its own curve geometry, especially at its external part.
one and / or the other spiral spring 23, 25 may thus comprise an open outer curve to cooperate with a racking system or comprise, on the end of the outer curve, a bead adapted to serve as a fixed attachment point.
the ferrule 27 may also comprise dimensions and / or geometries that are uniformly clean or different on at least one of the lower 17, median 9 and / or high 13 portions.
the inner diameter may have a complementary shape on all or part of the height of the shell 27.
the inner and / or outer diameters are not necessarily circular but, for example, elliptical and / or or polygonal.
the spiral springs 23 and 25 have the same height, that is to say are etched in layers 7 and 11 of the same thickness and have the same number of turns. They have their ends of external curve points which are angularly offset with respect to the shell of substantially 180 °. Finally, the winding directions of the turns of the spiral springs 23 and 25 are opposite.
the ferrule 27 is uniform over its entire height and is substantially shaped circular section cylinder.
each spiral spring 23, 25 could be plumb one of the other which would advantageously, the use of a single pitcher means for the two spiral springs 23 and 25.
the very good structural accuracy of a deep reactive ion etching makes it possible to reduce the starting radius of each of the spiral springs 23 and 25, ie the external diameter of the ferrule 27, which allows the miniaturization of the inner and outer diameters of the ferrule 27. It is therefore understood that the double spiral 21 is adapted to receive by its cavities 18, 10 and 12, advantageously, an axis of smaller diameter than is currently manufactured.
said axis may be fixed on the inner diameter 18 and / or 10 and / or 12 of the ferrule 27.
the clamping may for example be carried out using elastic means etched in the shell 27 of silicon.
Such elastic means may, for example, take the form of those disclosed in the Figures 10A to 10E patent EP 1 655 642 or those disclosed in the Figures 1, 3 and 5 patent EP 1 584 994 which patents are incorporated by reference in the present description.
the method 1 comprises, after the step 103 or 104, a sixth step 107, as visible in FIG. figure 6 , consisting in implementing a process of the LIGA type (well-known acronym from the German "Röntgenlithographie, Galvanoformung &Abformung").
LIGA well-known acronym from the German "Röntgenlithographie, Galvanoformung &Abformung”
Such a process comprises a succession of steps making it possible to electrodeposit in a particular form a metal on the lower layer 7 of the substrate 3 with the aid of a photostructured resin.
the deposited metal may be, for example, gold or nickel or one of their alloys.
step 107 may consist in depositing a cylinder 29.
the cylinder 29 is intended to receive, advantageously, by driving an axis.
a disadvantage of silicon lies in its very weak elastic and plastic zones which makes it very brittle.
the invention therefore proposes to perform the clamping of an axis, for example, balance not against the silicon of the shell 27 but on the inner diameter 28 of the metal cylinder 29 electrodeposited during step 107.
the cylinder 29 obtained by electroplating leaves full freedom as to its geometry.
the inside diameter 28 is not necessarily circular but, for example, example, polygonal which could improve the transmission of effort in rotation with a corresponding shape axis.
a seventh step 108 similar to the step 105 visible at the figure 5 cavities are selectively etched, for example, by a method of the DRIE type, in the lower layer 7 of silicon-based material. These cavities make it possible to form patterns of a second spiral spring and a ferrule similar to the patterns 19 and 17 of the first embodiment A.
a double monobloc spiral formed of silicon-based materials with the same advantages as the embodiment A with, in addition, a part 29 of metal. It is therefore understood that there is no problem of assembly because it is directly made during the manufacture of the double spiral.
an axis can be driven against the inside diameter 28 of the metal part 29. It is thus possible, preferentially, that the cavities 10 and 12 have sections of larger dimensions than the inside diameter 28 of the metal part. 29 to prevent the axis is in bold contact with the ferrule 27.
the method 1 comprises, after the step 103 or 104, in a sixth step 109, as visible at the figure 7 , selectively etching a cavity 30, for example, by a DRIE-type method, to a limited depth in the lower layer 7 of silicon-based material.
the cavity 30 makes it possible to form a recess able to serve as a container for a metal part.
the cavity 30 obtained may take the form of a disc.
the etching on the lower layer 7 leaves all freedom on the geometry of the cavity 30.
the method 1 comprises the implementation of a growth-type process galvanic or LIGA type to fill the cavity 30 in a particular metal form.
the deposited metal may be, for example, gold or nickel.
step 110 may consist in depositing a cylinder 31 in the cavity 30.
the cylinder 31 is intended to receive, advantageously, by driving an axis.
an advantageous characteristic according to the invention therefore consists in making the clamping of the axis, for example, balance not against the silicon-based material of the shell 27 but on the diameter inside 32 of the metal cylinder 31 electrodeposited during step 110.
the cylinder 31 obtained by electroplating leaves full freedom as to its geometry.
the inner diameter 32 is not necessarily circular but, for example, polygonal which could improve the transmission of force in rotation with a corresponding shape of the axis.
the method 1 may include, in an eighth step 111, polishing the metal deposit 31 made in step 110 to make it plane.
a ninth step 112 similar to the step 105 visible at the figure 5 cavities are selectively etched, for example, by a method of the DRIE type, in the lower layer 7 of silicon-based material. These cavities make it possible to form patterns of a second spiral spring and a ferrule similar to the patterns 19 and 17 of the first embodiment A.
final double spiral 21 is thus assembled before being structured, that is to say before being etched and / or modified by electroplating.
This advantageously makes it possible to minimize the dispersions generated by current assemblies of two spirals and, consequently, improves the accuracy of a regulator member improves the accuracy of a regulator member of which it would be dependent.
a metal deposits type of firing insert 29 and / or 31 also or only from the additional layers 11 and / or greater 5.
the two spiral springs 23 and 25 are oxidized to make them more mechanically resistant and to adjust their thermoelastic coefficient.
a conductive layer is deposited on at least a portion of the double spiral 21 in order to avoid problems of isochronism. Such a layer may be of the type disclosed in the document EP 1 837 722 incorporated by reference in the present description.
a polishing step of the type of step 111 can also be carried out between step 107 and step 108 as visible in dashed lines at the figure 9 .
