SELF-ORIENTING GYROSCOPIC COURSE AND ROLL INDICATION SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: designing and manufacture of devices for stabilization, navigation and topographical survey of surface equipment units. SUBSTANCE: proposed system includes azimuth and horizontal units with gimbal mount, gyroscopic sensitive elements, attitude sensors, torque generators, amplifiers, dynamically adjustable gyroscopes, control unit, information conversion and processing unit and timing mechanism. Control unit is provided with two threshold units, OR circuit, two relays; first normally-closed contact of first relay is connected with output of switchgear and second normally- closed contact of first relay is connected with input of torque generator of sensitive element of azimuth unit; input of winding of first relay is connected with first normally-open contact of second relay and second contact of second relay is connected with output of digital unit. Inputs of OR circuit are connected with outputs of threshold unit. Inputs of first threshold unit are connected with output of first torque generator of sensitive element of horizontal unit and inputs of second threshold unit are connected with output of second torque generator. EFFECT: enhanced accuracy of determination of azimuth. 1 dwg
