Description of the invention [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to the aspect of timepieces, and in particular to the crown locking and waterproof (or more generally, fluid-tight) devices of watches. [Previous technology] I know that I want to keep the watch's movement clean and dry, so that it can continue to run properly. The watch needs to be waterproof. The development of maritime, air, and space activities has led to the development of watch makers with better seals. There are three types of waterproof watches. These correspond to the pressure conditions seen especially at different depths. The first type (simple waterproof watch) is the inside of the watch, which prevents moisture (sweat and rain). This type of test requires the watch to be immersed in a depth of 1 m for 30 minutes. This type of watch must not be worn in the bath. The table type (the commonly used waterproof watch) refers to watches that can be strapped in the water, but not for swimming and diving. The degree of water resistance is usually indicated on the scale or on the back of the case (10m, 20m, or 30m). Finally, the third category (diving watches) refers to watches that are water-resistant to 100 or 200m, and in some cases, even more than 1,000m in depth. In addition to the waterproof test equivalent to the required depth, diver's watches have the following Features · 5 minute minute rotation of the hand surface, a luminous mark and a hand that can be read at 25 cm in water, -4-(2) (2) 200400426 non-magnetic, resistant to several impacts 'Brine, and helium-containing atmosphere. Note that the 100m water-resistant watch can be used for bathing, diving in the swimming pool, or closed air diving, but not for bottle diving or professional diving that requires ammonia. If it is clear that 'usable watches have varying degrees of water resistance, it depends on the consumer's use. Depending on the requirements, the watch is tested at different pressures and at different times. The highest pressures are often much higher than those encountered in general. When diving in the sea, for example, use a watch designed to resist the additional stresses that may be encountered. When applied to watches, the concept of water resistance is governed by precise regulations laid down in the international standard IS0228 1. Note the "Waterproof" indication. Watches with or without overpressure indication must meet and pass the test specified in the standard NISH82-10 (equivalent to the international standard ISO-22 8 1). These watches are intended for ordinary daily use. And during sports, such as short-term swimming needs to be waterproof. These can be used under different air or water pressure and temperature conditions. And should pay attention when in the mountains (climbing, walking, skiing), or when engaging in a series of sports ( When parachuting), a watch with a good seal is required because the pressure changes below sea level and above. If the watch is often exposed to water, this must have at least a metal case or a specially designed case for this purpose (threaded back cover) And crown). Under water, the pressure rises by 1 bar every 10 meters of depth. The pressure can change very quickly and hugely. It is also necessary to avoid high heat (here, the watch itself (3) (3) 200400426 can be on the ship's deck) Under the sun) and cold water temperature (when the diver is diving). The case needs to deal with these factors and be resistant to impact. These should be slightly deformed by the weight of the water when they fall, and above The shape of the watch case is restored when it rises. The components of the watch case are as follows: Glass seal ring, like all seal rings, this function provides a perfect seal between the glass and the watch case. This is often changed whenever the seal ring is updated; Back cover sealing ring, this is usually placed in the ~ groove, to achieve the same function as other sealing rings, and this is often replaced; there are two kinds of shell back: snap-in back and threaded back. One-piece shell has no shell back, Glass case. The threaded back provides the best water resistance, because the pressure on the sealing ring is even; Crystal (or glass): Its method of fixing to the case plays an important role in waterproofing the watch; Because the crown and the tube rotate with each other Watertightness is ensured by the pressure applied to the seal ring. The waterproof crown has a grooved bottom seal ring pressed against the case tube to seal the watch. If the crown is screwed on the tube, it is obvious that the pressure on the seal ring is relatively small. Large. In the non-tightened crown, the impact will deform or distort the crown, even if it is slight. If this happens, the sealing ring no longer permanently contacts the casing tube, and the watch is no longer waterproof. In this final situation, in order to strengthen the watch waterproof, The method of installing the seal ring between the crown and the tube is shown in the patent CH 6 8 64 7 3. The above waterproof principle is applicable to all kinds of watches. -6-(4) (4) 200400426 It is found that a system can be used To lock the crown to prevent the watch from being damaged during impact or water immersion, especially for athletes and women who need to use the watch during activities. This device was published in document EP 0 02 6 74 0. This device is complicated, Many components are needed. [Abstract] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a crown lock and waterproof device, especially a diver's watch, so that the movable tube fixed to the rotating rod and the crown can be moved. This purpose is intended for use by The lock and waterproof device of a component on the watch is achieved, including a crown, with a flat sealing ring to prevent water from entering between the middle and the crown, and is fixed to a movable tube and a reel. The non-threaded part is guided, and one of its ends is screwed into the middle. This watch is characterized in that the crown includes a first notch and a circular groove at the bottom for the insertion of a sealing ring to prevent shift Leakage between the tube and the crown. The feature of the device is a second notch with a nut in it. This can enter and exit from the outside of the crown. It can be tightened along the tube to lock the crown in the middle. Release, and release the crown along the tube. The main and innovative function of the entire crown waterproof system is the movement of the movable tube, which is fixed to the reel and the crown. Compared with ordinary systems, the movement results in improved waterproofing. This innovative movement is achieved by tightening and loosening a screw cap placed on the tube ’which itself is screwed into the middle and placed in the crown. Rotate the nut to move the crown and tube, this will bring the reel to its meshing position ’(5) (5) 200400426 Release the crown and then pull it out. This can then be used to tighten the movement, correct the time, change the calendar, and perform any other function instructed by the manufacturer. Waterproofing is provided by 30 rings and a flat seal ring. The 20 ring is placed on the cylindrical and movable part of the tube. The third is placed on the flat part of the tube and combined with the crown. A flat seal ring in the crown prevents water from entering the crown. The crown is locked to the middle, making the watch waterproof. The present invention is applied to all kinds of watches or similar devices, but it is mainly applied to sports watches and technical or diving watches. The characteristic of the crown waterproof system during the movement of the movable tube (this is fixed to the reel and crown) is to provide NISH standard waterproof watches for diving watches and / or other technical 50m to 3 00m watches, easy to operate, and of course by the locking device waterproof. According to the present invention, the main function of the entire crown lock and waterproof device is the movement of a movable tube, which is fixed to the reel and the crown. Locking and releasing is achieved by tightening and loosening a nut placed on the tube, which is then screwed into the middle and placed in the crown. Turn the nut to lock or loosen the crown and tube, and loosen and open the crown, 俾 can be pulled out to move the reel to its meshing position. The movement can then be rolled up for 'time correction, calendar change, or perform any other function. [Embodiment] The locking and waterproofing device of a crown (7) includes a reel (1), a solenoid (2), a flat sealing ring (6), and a movable tube (4). The crown (7) contains a first notch (11), and a circular groove (Figure 10, Figure 10) is at the bottom for the 10 seal ring (Figure 3, 20) to be inserted into -8- (6) (6) 200400426 This prevents water leakage between the movable tube (4) and the crown (7), and a second notch (12), a nut (5) in it, which should be screwed along the thread on the tube (2) When the top crown (7) is locked, and when it is released, the top crown (7) is loosened, and the reel (1) is fixed to the movable pipe (4), on which two grooves are formed (Fig. 4, 13 and 4). 14) On the cylindrical and movable parts, it is used to assemble 20 sealing rings (3 and 9 of Figures 3a and 3b). 〇 Sealing rings (3 and 9) provide the watch with waterproofness between the movable tube (4) and the inside of the tube (2) in the stop position of the movable tube (4) and during movement. One end of the tube (2) (Fig. 3a and 3b, 2a) is screwed into the middle of the watch (Fig. 3a and 3b, 3 0), while the other end extends into the recess (〗 2) of the crown (7), the top The crown (7) locks / unlocks the nut (5) into the recess during the assembly phase. The crown (7) (in which a notch (1 2) has been constructed for the nut (5) to be inserted) includes two relatively flat holes (15 and 16 of Fig. 6), which provide access to the nut (5) from the outside, 俾The nut (5) can be turned manually. The nut (5) is inserted into the notch (1 2) during the assembly period, and is placed on the threaded part of the tube (2) placed in the crown (7) by itself. Turn the nut (5) clockwise to lock the crown (7) on the middle (30), as shown in Figure 3a. Turn the screw cap (5) counterclockwise to loosen the crown (7), as shown in Figure 3b 'and pull out the crown (7), and it can be moved and fixed to the movable tube and the reel (1) on (4) ), So move the reel (1) to its engaged position. The crown (7) contains a notch (11) into which the large diameter of the movable tube (4) -9- (7) (7) 200400426 is inserted. The bottom of the notch (Π) is a circular groove (4) for receiving the o-ring (20). The movable tube (4) is fixed to the top crown (7) by a screw, and the screw has a tapered head and passes through the center of the top crown (7). Fixing screw (8) · —fix the movable tube (4) to the crown (7) on the one hand, and compress the seal ring (20) on the bottom of the crown (7) on the other hand, so that the crown (7) )waterproof. The function of the flat seal ring (6) is to prevent water leakage between the middle (invisible) of the watch and the crown (7). The crown (7) has two opposing knurled areas (1 7) and (1 8) to facilitate the rotation of the crown (7). The main function of the crown (7) waterproof system is that when the movable tube (4) is loosened by the rotation of the rotating nut (5), the tube is fixed to the reel (1) and the crown (7), so The crown (7) and the tube (4) are moved and thus the crown (7) can be pulled out. The top crown (7) waterproof system is waterproofed by 30 sealing rings (3, 9, 20) and a flat sealing ring (6). The user therefore has two positions. The locked position of the device protects the component from unintentional pulling of the crown (7), and the release position enables the function connected to the reel (1) to be performed.
