Abstract
1442822 Automatic control of attitude PNEUMO DYNAMICS CORP 9 Aug 1973 [28 Sept 1972] 37832/73 Heading G3R A member mounted on a movable structure (a gun on a tank) is stabilized in at least one plane by a motor controlled in response to signals from rate gyros on the member and structure respectively, the output of that on the member being integrated. In the embodiment, stabilization is in elevation and azimuth by similar systems, one version of which is shown in Fig. 2. The motor is hydraulic and its speed is controlled by the position of a servovalve 32, the control signal 31 for which comprises the sum of a gun position signal 29 obtained by integrating at 28 the output of the rate gyro 27 on the gun, a rate of change (or velocity) signal 44 obtained from a servovalve displacement transducer 34 (which displacement is proportional to servomotor speed), and an acceleration signal 42 obtained by differentiating the output of a tachogenerator 36 driven by the servomotor. To improve the response of the system a signal from the rate gyro 39 on the tank is subtracted from the tacho signal at 38; thus, when the gun is driven moving equally and oppositely to the tank motion the output of 38 is zero. This difference signal is also added as a velocity term at 26. Desired movements (gun laying) are effected by adding the signal from a manually operated command rate potentiometer 24 at 25 and 26. Alternatively, the stabilizing system may be switched out and manual movements used to control the hydraulic valves directly Fig. 4, (not shown). To correct for drift in the system, i.e. movement when none is required, due to integrator offset &c., a potentiometer 46 is temporarily coupled to the motor by a manually controlled solenoid clutch; drift during this time results in a signal from 46 which is then permanently added to the control signal in a cancelling sense. In Fig. 3 (not shown) a complete elevation and azimuth system is shown; they differ from Fig. 2 in that the drift signal is combined with the gun gyro signal before integration.
