Abstract
The present invention relates to an escapement system that can be used, for example, in a measuring device such as in a timepiece. The escapement system comprises a drive axle and at least one escape wheel that has at least one impulse tooth. The at least one impulse tooth is connected to the drive axle via at least one spring element and has a starting position in which it is fixed such that the spring element has a preload torque.
Claims13
An escapement system comprising:
- a drive axle;
- and
- at least one escape wheel that has multiple impulse teeth, wherein each tooth of the multiple impulse teeth is connected to the drive axle via at least one corresponding spring element, respectively, and has a starting position in which it is fixed such that the at least one corresponding spring element has a preload torque, wherein the starting position is a position in which at least one of the impulse tooth or the at least one corresponding spring element has a lowest tension in a cycle of the at least one escape wheel.
A measuring device comprising an escapement system, the escapement system comprising:
- a drive axle;
- and
- at least one escape wheel that has multiple impulse teeth, wherein each tooth of the multiple impulse teeth is connected to the drive axle via at least one corresponding spring element, respectively, and has a starting position in which it is fixed such that the at least one corresponding spring element has a preload torque, wherein the starting position is a position in which at least one of the impulse tooth or the at least one corresponding spring element has a lowest tension in a cycle of the at least one escape wheel.
An escapement system comprising:
- a drive axle;
- at least one escape wheel that includes multiple impulse teeth, wherein each tooth of the multiple impulse teeth is connected to the drive axle via at least one corresponding spring element, respectively, and has a starting position which is fixed such that the at least one corresponding spring element has a preload torque, and wherein the at least one escape wheel has multiple abutments that fix the multiple impulse teeth in their starting position;
- a resting element that includes at least one tensioning surface, that moves the multiple impulse teeth from the starting position to a tensioning position on a rotation of the at least one escape wheel, wherein the multiple impulse teeth can be pressed against the at least one tensioning surface by rotating the at least one escape wheel such that the multiple impulse teeth are moved out of the starting position into the tensioning position and the preload torque of the at least one corresponding spring element is increased by the rotation of the at least one escape wheel, and wherein the resting element is at least one of:
- an anchor a balance lever, or a part of a balance;
- and
- at least one balance tooth.
