Abstract
909,477. Stabilized platforms for inertial guidance devices. SOC. DE FABRICATION D'INSTRUMENTS DE MESURE. Feb. 25, 1959 [Feb. 26, 1958], No. 6613/59. Class 113. A stabilized platform for an inertial guidance device comprises a platform movable about a point which supports three floating integrating gyroscopes, at least two coupled accelerometers as well as torque motors, which adjust the position of the platform in response to signals from the gyroscopes, the relative axes of which motors are respectively aligned on to the input axes of the gyroscopes which are themselves positioned along the axes of a right-angled trihedral one of which axes is vertical, the complete assembly of units on the platform being statically balanced about the articulation point. The platform 17 is mounted on a head 8 by means of co-axial journals 11, 12 and roller bearings 13 and 14, the head being mounted in a fork 5 by means of co-axial journals 9 and 10 and roller bearings 6 and 7. The fork 5 is integral with an axle 2 pivotally mounted in the roller bearings 3 and 4 within a pillar 1. The pillar 1 is secured to the sphere 20, 21 which is fitted with a pair of co-axial journals 22, 23 aligning with roller bearings 24 and 25 of the gimbol-ring 26. The ring 26 is also fitted with co-axial journal 27, 28 associated with roller bearings 29, 30 of a spherical support member 31, 33 provided with a shock absorbing member 32. Journals 22 and 28 are provided with torque dampers 38 and 36 comprising annular ducts filled with a viscous liquid. The static balancing of the platform 17 is adjusted by screws 55, 56 and the units are accurately located on the platforms by setting marks. Electrical contacts, e.g. 46, 47, 48, 49, are provided, where necessary, at the points of articulation to feed the various units on the platform with a minimum degree of friction. The specification describes ways in which the platform may be used to control the stability of a carrier vehicle over its trajectory.
