Everyone would like to know what the principle of working with mechanical watches. There's nothing here. Let's try to understand how mechanics work. In every Swiss watch with such a mechanism there is a special spring that serves as the engine that is responsible for the rotation of the arrows and gears. It is with the help of a twisted spring that the energy required for work is communicated.
Any watch is a mechanism consisting of 4 main parts:.
• hour engine;.
• the oscillation regulator and their frequencies;.
• a counter that monitors the oscillations of the regulator;.
• an indicator that shows the result of work to a person.
The watch is divided into two types - quartz mechanical. It all depends on what type of engine they are installed in. The shortcomings of the former and the merits of the latter have been debated for a very long time, but much more valuable are mechanical watches. One has only to consider that they require more attention and care than quartz watches, but they always look solid and give the same appearance to the owner of these watches.
We suggest that you consider how the mechanical watch operates and make sure that care for them is not worth too much effort, and the output with the clock on the wrist of the left hand will surpass all expectations. A little more on the site you can find out about other models of Swiss watches, which everyone will certainly like. But first you need to decide how the clock works after all.
What is an engine So, mechanics can have two types of engine:.
• the raised weight (this engine is admissible only in the pendulum devices);.
• spring - a more convenient and compact option for watches worn on the arm.
The spring is fixed to a special drum, which drives the entire clock mechanism, and the shaft. If you wind the spring, it will unwind and give energy to the whole mechanism. But it is important that the spring unwinds during a certain period and transfers energy periodically, rather than constantly.
For what the regulator responds For this to happen, a regulator. It rotates with a certain frequency and guarantees the clock mechanism the frequency of work. However, after a while, the regulator will stop too, because the perpetuum mobile was never invented by man.
Periodically, there is a need to push the engine speed dial. It must be understood that this requires the following element of the clockwork mechanism - descent.
How the energy is transferred Specialists of the watch making know several types of descent, which are ideal for the clock mechanism. But in mechanical watches the anchor slope is basically used, which performs two functions:.
Transmission of energy from the motor to the regulator.
Uniform rotation of the mechanism with arrows.
Arrow mechanism We examined each of the main mechanisms of the clock, but did not pay attention to another one - the so-called switch, which shows the result of the entire mechanism.
It consists of an hour wheel, a minute tribe and a bill of exchange. Simply put, this is the minute and hour hands, and also the part that connects the hour and minute hands.
Along with the basic details, it is necessary to identify additional devices. These include a shock-proof device that protects the watch from falling from a height of about 1.2 meters or when it hits. In addition, a clock or a stopwatch device may be provided in the clock mechanism.
