Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stabilizing mount system for payload devices such as cameras, sensors and weapons wherein the stabilized payload device can be operated in a hands-on mode while stabilization is active.
  • the invention will stabilize payload devices in one, two or three axes from motion imparted to the stabilized mount's base from the motion of the platform or vehicle upon which the stabilizing mount system is attached.
  • the invention also relates to a self leveling, self correcting one, two and three axis stabilizing mount system which allows the capability for hands-on control, or free gunning of a weapon in both a hands-on stabilized mode, in wired or wireless remote control, or in a combination of hands-on payload device control and remote payload device control.
  • Prior art weapon stabilization systems provide elevation and azimuth, which although acceptable for shooting a bullet, handicaps imaging devices such as cameras and sensors that need stabilized in the roll axis for accurate sighting. It would therefore be desirable to provide stabilization in all three axes—pitch, roll and azimuth which allows for weapons, cameras and sensors to be operated simultaneously from the same platform.
  • a human operator in free-gun mode has a faster response time to locate, slew and engage a target because of his increased situational awareness when standing with his head outside the vehicle and being hands-on with the gun versus if he were remotely operating the weapon from inside the vehicle with limited situational awareness created by the physical configuration of the vehicle including limited vision due to vehicle roof support structures, other occupants and equipment within the vehicle, and also decreased sound awareness through armored metal and bullet proof glass.
  • This invention allows for the stabilized payload device, which includes cameras, sensors and weapons, to be controlled by remote control as well as hands-on mode. This includes free-gunning a weapon while stabilization is active.
  • Prior art does not allow mixing hands-on stabilized mode with remote control and target lock.
  • This system provides for interactive hands-on payload device control coupled with automated control for directional and target lock-on capability
  • Prior stabilizing mounts for weapons are generally large, heavy devices which are fixed to the vehicle and not easily moved from vehicle to vehicle.
  • warfighting systems when a vehicle is disabled it is preferable for warfighting systems to be easily moved to other vehicles or removed altogether should the vehicle need to be abandoned. Therefore is would be desirable to provide a lightweight, compact stabilizing mount system which can be easily installed and removed by one person within a matter of minutes. It would be desirable for the stabilizing mount system to fit standard military weapon receptacles such as the turret receptacle on a HMMWV, sand rail or convoy truck, and for the stabilizing mount system to be interchangeable with non-stabilized weapon mounts. This invention does that.
  • Another known drawback of prior art is they surround and/or cradle the payload device which can limit the size and shape of payload device.
  • This invention's open payload architecture accepts any camera, sensor, weapon or payload device within its operational weight range regardless of the shape or physical size, within reason.
  • Two axes stabilization also makes it difficult if not impossible for computers and artificial intelligent imaging devices to locate, identify, track and engage targets when the sensor data is restricted to two axes stabilization.
  • This invention stabilizes pitch, roll and azimuth, therefore providing a stabilized image throughout the display screen which is most usable by both humans and computers.
  • One embodiment of this invention allows variability in payload weight and slewing speed simply by adjusting the length of the upper arm bracket arms thereby effecting both the payload capability and slew speed as changing weapons or combat situations require.
  • This invention integrates sensing means to automatically correct the sensor drift, error and bias that is specified as needing correction in previous art.
  • the device includes a stabilized payload platform for supporting an article to be stabilized, a base, an actuator mechanism connecting the payload platform to the base, sensors for determining motion of a vehicle in three orthogonal axis, and a control system for stabilizing the mount.
  • the stabilizing system includes at least one motor/actuator per axis to rotate the payload platform about that axis with respect to the base.
  • a method which provides the camera operator or gunner a self correcting stabilizing mount system which includes the steps of: positioning a stabilizing mount system on a moving vehicle; stabilizing the mount in up to 3 axes based on information collected by the sensor package(s); and allowing the operator to move the payload (weapon or camera/sensor) with hands-on control of the payload for target acquisition and firing.
  • a method of the above whereupon a gunner can free-gun or upon acquiring a target, activate a target lock to hold the pointing position or target while his vehicle is moving. This method continues to allow the gunner hands-on and/or remote controlled aiming adjustments. This method may also incorporate a fluid head or pan/tilt/roll head with infinite drag adjustment for each applicable axis.
  • an auto tracking device or software that locks on to a target and moves the weapon in relation to the target.
  • the method for slaving several different stabilization devices on the vehicle providing multiple weapons or weapon and sensor combinations with simultaneous stabilization.
  • the method wherein the stabilized camera imagery, (often enhanced through magnification, IR or other methods,) is sent to eye glasses or goggles containing a small video screen(s).
  • This method provides the driver with a stabilized image similar to that perceived by the driver's brain and head movements even though he is also moving. This method reduces confusion previously caused by the driver trying to coordinate his brain stabilized eyesight image with non-stabilized enhanced video, IR, or other imagery.
  • the invention is capable of outputting and sending precise vehicle and weapon aiming data to a central command and control center or vehicle for various uses including friend/foe recognition.
  • a stabilized chair or standing plate such as found in a military HMMWV, is stabilized so that the gunner and the weapon are both stabilized.
  • Another embodiment allows the stabilization system to provide pitch and roll stabilization with a gimbal assembly and the use of motors and gears, such as in Grober U.S. Pat. No. 6,611,662; Autonomous, Self Leveling, Self Correcting Stabilized Platform.
  • This embodiment in some situations can provide higher gear ratios and better resolution than linear actuator systems.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of the stabilized mount, showing the shock absorber system, and with a weapon as the payload device.
  • FIG. 2 a is a side view of the stabilizing mount with a friction head, and camera.
  • the motor configuration is different than in FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 2 b is a view of a man wearing goggles which have small video screens to show the image seen by the stabilized camera.
  • FIG. 2 c is a wireless remote control box with operations interfaces including a joystick, control knobs, switches and a display screen.
  • FIG. 3 is a side view of a HMMWV (Humvee) showing the A frame, turret and the stabilizing mount with a weapon being used by a gunner.
  • HMMWV Heumvee
  • FIG. 4 Shows an example of two HMMWV's each with a stabilizing mount system that provides positional and pointing data to another vehicle or command vehicle.
  • FIG. 5 is a cutaway view of a HMMWV with a gunner on the stabilized standing platform.
  • FIG. 6 is a side view of a stabilized chair and weapon mount with armor shielding.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates the stabilizing mount system with a weapon according to the present invention.
  • the stabilized mount's center post fits into a standard US military weapon's receptacle commonly found on vehicle turrets and other mounting locations.
  • the center post supports the weapon and the means for moving structure.
  • the entire assembly is shock dampened inside the center post.
  • a device requiring stabilization such as camera, sensor and weapons is attached to the angle arm structure and is therefore kept level with the horizon.
  • the term “level” will also mean a pre-determined angle chosen to be maintained regardless of the vehicle motion. That pre-determined angle can be a vector relative to the horizon, or a vector relative to apparent gravity which takes into account accelerations which the stabilizing mount system is subjected when on vehicles.
  • FIG. 1 described in detail shows the center post 54 as the main weight bearing support for the payload device which in this embodiment is a weapon 50 .
  • the base of center post 54 can be various sizes or shapes depending on the application.
  • the center post stud 53 can be designed to fit a standard US military receptacle for crew served weapons such as found on a Humvee (HMMWV) turret assembly.
  • the center post 54 can be solid or a tube. In this embodiment it is a tube and houses the vibration and shock absorbing system 55 which is composed of vibration and shock dampeners which include but are not limited to one or more springs and/or shock absorbers.
  • This shock absorbing system can be either a passive system or an active system wherein sensors, shocks, hydraulics and other means of moving are employed to reduce or eliminate shock and vibration.
  • Attached to the center post are vertical support arms 56 and 57 which can be any desired shape and which support the horizontal actuator base support structure 52 .
  • the horizontal actuator base support structure 52 has moveable joints 74 , which attach to linear actuators 60 .
  • Linear actuators 60 can be any variety of actuators which include but are not limited to hydraulic actuators, ball screw actuators, magnetic actuators, rams, jack screws or other actuating mechanisms.
  • the actuators 60 have some type of propulsion, motor, or driving mechanism 62 for extending and retracting the actuator's arms.
  • This propulsion mechanism can be a separate component such as a motor attached the actuator, the propulsion mechanism can include hydraulics, magnetics or an other driving force applicable extending and retracting an actuator.
  • the actuators 60 are topped with another set of moveable joints 67 which are attached to the upper arm bracket 64 with pins 65 .
  • Pins 65 which are used to hold moveable joints, may also contain sensors such as encoders, potentiometers, hall sensors or other sensors which will measure motion such as rotation. The output of these sensors at the various pivot points will provide the CPU an accurate reference as to angle and configuration of the mount from which the CPU can determine the pointing angle and movement of the payload(s) such as the weapon 50 , or cameras or sensors.
  • the joints 74 and 67 can be any variety of moveable joints including but not limited to clevis pins, ball and socket joints or universal joints.
  • the top of the center post 54 attaches to the lower part of the upper arm bracket 64 with a universal joint that is located directly under the upper arm bracket Y joint receptacle 59 .
  • the universal joint can also be a ball and socket or other type joint allowing freedom of motion in at least 2 axis.
  • linear actuators 60 When the linear actuators 60 extend or retract, they cause the upper arm bracket to angle up or down in that respective axis while pivoting on the universal joint.
  • One actuator controls the pitch and the other actuator controls the roll associated with the upper arm bracket.
  • the central processing unit (CPU) 73 controls the actuator movements.
  • the control system can be set to maintain the upper arm bracket at any desired angle. The most common usage is to set the angle to maintain a level horizon.
  • a set of sensor signals which is supplied by a sensor package 73 containing one or a combinations of sensors which include but are not limited to level sensors, rate sensors, motion sensors, FOG sensors, an inertial measurement unit (IMU) Inertial navigation system (INS), GPS, or any other sensor device which can provide the inputs required by the CPU to move the actuators to maintain the desired position of the payload in pitch, roll and azimuth.
  • Another angle of which the payload can be maintained would be the vector angle of apparent gravity. This is useful for when the payload is a person. In a turn a person generally does not want to be level with the horizon because the centrifugal forces tend to pull the person out of their seat such as when an airplane does a flat turn. Positioning a person along the vector of apparent gravity will keep them feeling properly balanced in a turn and during accelerations.
  • Y bracket 58 fits into receptacle 59 and can turn 360 degrees continuous.
  • Set screw 61 can adjustably friction down the azimuth movement of the Y bracket and subsequently the payload weapon or secure it from movement altogether.
  • Pin 65 e can include a sensor to sense position and/or motion of the payload, herein the weapon 50 .
  • Pin 65 e can also include a tightening mechanism to adjustably friction down the payload motion, or secure it altogether.
  • the sensor package 73 can go on the base 52 , on the upper arm bracket 59 , the weapon 50 , on the vehicle FIG. 4 # 51 , or at any location where it can measure the host vehicle, or the stabilizing mount's base, payload platform or payload.
  • the ability to place the sensors in various positions is possible by sensing the angles of the stabilizing system's framework parts such as the base 52 , the actuators 60 , the upper arm bracket 59 , and the payload 50 .
  • One method is to associate sensors at the joints, such as at pins 65 and will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
  • a battery or other power source 73 can be contained on the mount to make it independent of the vehicle's power supply, or the system can be powered from the host vehicle.
  • the base of the linear actuators 60 can be attached directly to the center post by moveable joints such as 74 .
  • any up and down motion of the shock absorbing system will have no effect on actuator 60 length, and subsequently the shock system can also include a vertical extension actuator or other means for moving the stabilization system up and down. This can have the additional advantage of vertical stabilization when desired.
  • a drive motor such as found in FIG. 2 a # 18 , would swivel the Y joint in azimuth based on commands from the CPU or the operator, or act as a drag mechanism.
  • the stabilizing mount system in order to be lightweight, can have many of its parts fabricated with materials such as carbon fiber, composites, sandwich materials or aluminum.
  • the stabilizing mount may be a gimbal assembly with two orthogonal motors, or motor gear drives which are mounted between the payload platform and the base and the control system stabilizes the payload plate based on information provided by a sensor package sensing motion of the base or of the vehicle upon which the stabilizing mount system is attached.
  • a friction head is placed between the stabilized payload platform and the payload device and allows hands-on movement and control of the payload device by the operator while both the friction head and the payload device are continually stabilized.
  • the stabilizing device has means for moving the payload platform in up to three axes.
  • the means for moving be they motors, motor gear drives, linear actuators, magnetic actuators or any other means for moving, can be pressure sensitive and be back driven, allowing hands-on control, including pointing of the payload device without the use of a friction head.
  • sensors on the stabilizing mount can sense the operators hand pressure or other applicable operator input, and allow the computer to control the motion of the payload platform with the stabilizing mount's own motors or means for moving, thereby using the stabilizing mount's means for moving in place of the friction head. This can be done either by commanding the motors to move the payload platform or by allowing the means for moving to be back driven or positioned by controlling the torque applied to the motors, actuators or other means for moving.
  • the stabilizing mount system can be scaled smaller or larger depending on the payload requirements. Small systems can be carried by a person and hand operated. This is particularly useful when carrying small sensor devices such as hand held cameras or night vision systems. Larger systems can stabilize payloads hundreds of pounds or greater while allowing hands-on control of the payload device for it's operation and/or pointing.
  • FIG. 2 a is the stabilizing mount, which has mounted on it a camera or sensor 20 which provides either a bore sight image of where the weapon is pointing, or can provide surrounding imagery by use of a pointing mechanism 22 , such as a pan and tilt mechanism, wherein both the camera and the pointing mechanism can be motorized and also remote controlled, subsequently allowing the camera to point in any direction regardless of where the weapon is pointing.
  • the camera or sensor 20 can also have a 360 degree field of view, and a pan tilt mechanism may not be required. Regardless of whether the camera can be pointed manually, remote controlled or has a 360 degree view capability, it will remain stabilized the same as the weapon because it is on the stabilizing platform.
  • the camera field of view can be depressed or elevated independently of the weapon, and which can be done manually or automated, and which will allow the camera to look at the location where a projectile fired from the weapon would hit, taking into account the curved path of the projectile.
  • the CPU can take this information into account because it is obtaining the weapon's pointing status from sensors on the stabilizing mount which can include but are not limited to encoders, resolvers, synchros or potentiometers located on the motors, the motor drive shafts or framework angle relationship sensors (FARS) which can include proximity sensors, hall sensors or other similar types of sensors which measure the angles between the framework parts.

  • the weapon 50 is mounted on a mounting bracket which in this embodiment is a friction head 19 to allow an operator to friction down the motion of the weapon in pitch and azimuth.
  • One purpose of the friction head 19 is to keep a gunner when free ginning, from having their body motions due to vehicle motion transfer to the weapon. Friction tightening the weapon will allow a setting where the gunner can move the weapon, yet the gunner's extraneous movements due to vehicle motion are not significant enough to move the weapon.
  • the friction head sits on bracket 8 which is attached to azimuth motor 18 and which the gunner controls to move the weapon.
  • the friction head motors can be controlled by wire or remote as shown in FIG.
  • linear actuators 60 are coupled by a gear box 14 to a motor 12 which are positioned upon horizontal base plate 52 . This configuration can allow larger motors and actuators than if the motor and actuator are coupled inline.
