GYROHORIZON Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: gyroscopic equipment. SUBSTANCE: the gyro horizon represents a double-axle indicator-power platform, having a gyro unit with attitude sensors, torque motors, stabilization motors and output data transmitters, use is also made of a delay unit and an actuating relay. Each sensitizing element of the horizon is made in the form of two opposite connected accelerometers, having different static and similar dynamic characteristics. The outputs of the accelerometers are connected to the respective adders introduced in the gyro horizon, whose outputs via amplifiers are connected to the torque motors of the gyro unit. This makes it possible to compensate for the dynamic component of the error at movement of the object. To prevent an increase of the time of readiness of the gyro horizon, the delay unit via the actuating relay cuts off one of the two accelerometers having a lesser thansconductance of the static characteristic for the time of instrument readiness in each sensitizing element of the horizon. EFFECT: enhanced precision of the gyro horizon used in the systems of attitude hold of special means of movable objects. 3 dwg
