    摘要: The present invention controls rolling motion of a vehicle by eliminating the detrimental influence of gyro moment on the motion of the vehicle and actively using gyro moment generated by a flywheel constituting an energy storing device. The invention relates to an attitude control device for a vehicle mounted with a flywheel as an energy storage device, the flywheel being pivotally supported about first and second axes mutually orthogonal with each other, the flywheel being mounted on a body of the vehicle such that the first axis extends in a front-rear direction of the body, the attitude control device comprising locking means for locking movement of the flywheel about the first axis, wherein a rolling motion of the vehicle is controlled by locking the movement of the flywheel about the first axis using said locking means.

    摘要: A precessional device having independent control of the output torque generated by the device and the oscillation race of the device is disclosed. The device comprises a rotor supported by an axle wherein the ends of the axle are supported by a circular race. The circular race is rotatable, and may be driven by, for example, a motor, thereby controlling the oscillation rate of the device independently of the output torque arising front the rotation rate of the rotor. The motor may be controlled by a control program that adjusts the rotation rate of the circular race to modify the shape of the resistance curve.

    摘要: Provided is a gimbal mechanism comprising a support stand, an outer frame and an inner frame. The support stand includes a spaced pair of L-shaped legs comprising a first member having at least one first slot formed therethrough. The outer frame is nested within the support stand and comprises outer frame sides joined to outer frame ends. Each one of the outer frame sides is pivotally engagable to the first slot of an adjacent one of the first members such that the outer frame is selectively angularly and laterally positionable relative to the support stand. The inner frame is nested within the outer frame and comprises inner frame ends joined to inner frame sides. Each one of the inner frame ends is pivotally engagable to an adjacent one of the outer frame ends such that the inner frame is selectively angularly adjusted relative to the outer frame about an inner frame axis.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for reorienting control moment gyros (CMGs) to compensate for CMG failure or change in spacecraft (S/C) mass properties or mission. An improved CMG comprises a drive means for rotating the CMG around an axis not parallel to the CMG gimbal axis. Releasable clamps lock the CMG to the spacecraft except during CMG array reorientation. CMGs arrays are combined with attitude sensors, a command module, memory for storing data and programs, CMG drivers and sensors (preferably for each CMG axis), and a controller coupling these elements. The method comprises determining whether a CMG has failed or the S/C properties or mission changed, identifying the working CMGs of the array, determining a new array reorientation for improved spacecraft control, unlocking, reorienting and relocking the CMGs in the array and updating the S/C control parameters for the new array orientation.

    摘要: The invention relates to a locking and unlocking device for a gyroscopic rotor which is mounted through the intermediary of an internal cardan (5) placed at the end of a shaft (4) which receives a screwthreaded bushing (10) which is capable of being screwed onto this shaft and into the rotor (3) in order to make the assembly of rotor (3), shaft (4) and bushing (10) integral and hence to isolate the internal cardan (5) from the forces exerted upon the rotor when the latter is in the "locked" position. The bushing (10) is caused to unscrew by a spiral spring (15) to place the rotor (3) in the "unlocked" position.

    摘要: Destabilization of a gyro-stabilized platform (such as employed for mounting an antenna on-board a ship) resulting from uncompensated yaw or rotation of the platform in azimuth from a fixed reference orientation is prevented by employing a pair of counter-rotating gyros for each stabilized axis and caging gyros having a spin direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the platform.

    摘要: A platform carried by a rocket projectile for supporting an antenna or ot type of terminal homing sensors which are required to survive a high-g launch phase. The platform uses compliant suspension with modified hemispherical support gimbals for bearing protection during a 10,000-12,000 g projectile launch environment. Post-launch lower-g environments permit the compliant suspension to function as a two-degree-of-freedom stabilized platform that can be used for guided projectiles such as the anti-radiation projectile missile.

    摘要: A torquer system for a gyro device that has a spherically shaped rotor divided into upper and lower hemispheres. The rotor of the gyro is mounted on a gas bearing over a spherically shaped stator and supports an optical assembly positioned parallel to the spin axis of the gyro. The torquer is positioned on the base of the gyro beneath the lower hemisphere of the rotor so as to permit the maximum angular freedom of the rotor and optical assembly. The torquer comprises four pole pieces separated 90.degree. from each other. Each torquer has two pole faces and coils located between pole faces. The coils contain separate windings for bias and control of the torquer. A current flow through the windings of the torquers causes magnetic flux lines emanating from the pole faces to pass through magnetically permeable material affixed to the lower hemisphere of the gyro rotor closing the magnetic circuit. The rotor will be attracted towards the pole face and the magnitude of the force of attraction is indicative of the current passing through the torquer windings.
