ELECTRONIC REGULATION MODULE FOR MOVEMENT OF MECHANICALLY WOUND WATCH

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new structure of module capable of overcoming of defects of a known structure, particularly problems of autonomous property, volume and electric storage in an electrochemical battery by adjusting a quartz watch without using a battery. SOLUTION: This electronic regulation module for watch movement by winding mechanism comprises a generator capable of converting the mechanical energy supplied by the movement of a mechanical watch to a measurement signal and an electronic regulation circuit to which the electricity by the generator is supplied. The electronic regulation circuit comprises an energy dissipation circuit allowing the application of at least two independent damping connections larger than zero to the generator. The electronic circuit further comprises a counter for controlling the damping connections. The damping connections selected by the control circuit particularly depend on the progress of the generator, and are reduced without suppression when the measurement signal passes an extreme value.
