[0002] With the continuous improvement of the integration of unmanned control systems, the miniaturization application of gyro north-seeking systems in various types of equipment has become increasingly prominent, mainly in two aspects: First, in terms of core components, although traditional optical gyroscopes, mechanical gyroscopes, etc. can meet the needs of north-seeking, their large size makes it difficult to embed and apply them to various small equipment, and their high cost also makes it impossible to install them in a single system. The performance of low-cost and small-volume MEMS inertial devices is not high enough, and it is difficult to achieve high-precision orientation only by relying on them; Second, in terms of rotating mechanisms: based on the rotation modulation technology, the autonomous navigation performance can be improved at low cost without relying on the accuracy of inertial devices, but the electromagnetic motor platform commonly used in the current rotation modulation north-seeking system has a large size and power consumption, and obvious residual magnetism, which has a great impact on the measurement accuracy of the inertial components.

[0037] Here, preferably, the first limiting device adopts but is not limited to a limiting column, and the second limiting device and the third limiting device adopt but are not limited to a limiting hole.
[0038] Here, the MEMS chip traveling wave motor may have performance degradation and breakage problems. The MEMS chip traveling wave motor 101, the chip packaging base 102 and the motor power supply circuit board 103 of the present invention can form a whole separately. If the motor performance degradation and breakage problems occur, the MEMS chip traveling wave motor 101 can be easily replaced.
[0039] Here, in some embodiments, the two first limiting posts 1023 on the chip package base 102 are assembled correspondingly with the two first limiting holes 1031 on the motor power supply circuit board 103. The height of the first limiting posts 1023 on the chip package base 102 is greater than the thickness of the motor power supply circuit board 103, so that the first limiting posts 1023 on the chip package base 102 can be assembled with the second limiting holes 1041 on the motor limiting mounting seat 104, and are fixed by using but not limited to screws through the multiple first through holes 1032 on the motor power supply circuit board 103 and the first screw holes 1042 on the motor limiting mounting seat 104, thereby realizing the limiting fixation of the MEMS chip traveling wave motor 101 on the segmented chip traveling wave motor package base 105.
[0040] Here, in some embodiments, the MEMS chip traveling wave motor 101 is packaged on the chip packaging base 102 by limiting the positioning groove 1022 .
[0041] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the second through hole 2011 on the pinion rotor 201 is limitedly matched with the first rotating shaft 1021 on the chip package base 102. The MEMS chip traveling wave motor 101 drives the pinion rotor 201 to rotate, and then drives the large gear platform 202 to rotate through gear meshing, thereby realizing the amplification of the driving torque.
[0042] Here, in some embodiments, there are gold-plated pads on the motor power supply circuit board 103, and the gold-plated pads can be connected to the pads on the MEMS chip traveling wave motor by gold wire bonding. Through the drive signal input terminal 1033, a drive signal can be applied to the MEMS chip traveling wave motor 101 to achieve motor traveling wave generation and friction drive the small gear rotor 201 to rotate, and the large gear platform 202 is driven to rotate through gear meshing, thereby achieving drive torque amplification.
[0043] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the segmented installation structure includes a cover plate 301, a base 304 and a housing 306. The housing 306 is an upper opening structure. The cover plate 301 covers the upper opening of the housing 306 to form a sealed cavity. The base 304 is installed in the housing 306. The base 304 is fixedly installed with the motor limit mounting seat 104. A bearing 3047 is assembled on the base 304. The second rotating shaft 2022 on the large gear platform 202 cooperates with the bearing 3047 to achieve the limit installation and low resistance rotation of the chip traveling wave motor rotating platform 203.
[0044] Here, in some embodiments, several (preferably 4) first mounting columns 3043 on the base 304 cooperate with several second mounting columns 1044 on the motor limit mounting seat 104, and are fixed by means of but not limited to screws through the third through holes 3046 on the first mounting columns 3043 and the second screw holes 1045 on the second mounting columns 1044.
[0045] Here, in some embodiments, the plurality of fourth through holes 3062 on the outer shell 306 correspond to the positions of the third through holes 3046 on the first mounting column 3043, and are fixed with the second screw holes 1045 on the second mounting column 1044 by means of but not limited to screws through the fourth through holes 3062 on the outer shell 306 and the third through holes 3046 on the first mounting column 3043, thereby achieving limited fixing of the overall structure.

[0049] Here, in some embodiments, a second limiting column 3051 is provided on the electromagnetic rotation limiting mechanism 305. When the base 304 and the motor limiting mounting seat 104 are assembled, the second limiting column 3051 passes through the sixth through hole 1043 on the motor limiting mounting seat 104. The radial movement range of the second limiting column 3051 is limited by the mechanical size of the sixth through hole 1043, thereby improving the accuracy of the rotation limitation.
[0050] Here, in some embodiments, the second limiting column 3051 on the electromagnetic indexing limiting mechanism 305 is sucked into the electromagnetic indexing limiting mechanism 305 when powered on, thereby achieving limiting release.
[0051] Here, in some embodiments, the sensor stator 210 of the MEMS capacitive angular position sensor 211 is limitedly mounted on the base 304. Preferably, the pads of the sensor stator 210 are connected to the gold-plated pads on the adapter board 3045 mounted on the base 304 by gold wire bonding, and the sampling signal is transmitted to the integrated drive sampling control circuit board 40 through the adapter board 3045 to realize the detection of the indexing feature.
[0052] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the wireless power supply unit 303 includes a transmitting coil 302 and a receiving coil 204, the transmitting coil 302 is mounted on the cover plate 301 by a first limiting structure 3013, and the receiving coil 204 is mounted on the large gear platform 202 by a second limiting structure 2025, and the transmitting coil 302 and the receiving coil 204 rotate concentrically to achieve contactless power supply and data transmission of the inertial measurement unit 207.
[0053] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the inertial measurement unit 207 includes a sampling transmission base plate 205 and a gyro base plate 206; the sampling transmission base plate 205 is integrated with a main control chip, an accelerometer chip, and a wireless transmission chip, etc., and the gyro base plate 206 is integrated with a gyroscope chip; the gyroscope base plate 206 is vertically mounted on the sampling transmission base plate 205, and is fixed and signal interconnected by welding; the main control chip is used to collect data from the accelerometer chip and the gyroscope chip, and send the data to the integrated drive sampling control circuit board 40 through the wireless transmission chip (the integrated drive sampling control circuit board 40 also integrates a wireless transmission chip).
[0054] In some embodiments, the inertial measurement unit 207 is invertedly installed on the chip traveling wave motor rotating platform 203, that is, the sampling transmission base plate 205 is installed on the chip traveling wave motor rotating platform 203; the mounting hole on the sampling transmission base plate 205 cooperates with the fourth limiting device on the large gear platform 202, and cooperates with the mounting component of the sensor mounting seat 208, and the three are fixedly installed to realize the limited installation of the inertial measurement unit 207, the sensor mounting seat 208 and the chip traveling wave motor rotating platform 203, forming an overall rotating mechanism.
[0055] Here, preferably, the fourth limiting device adopts but is not limited to a limiting column, and the mounting component adopts but is not limited to a mounting column.
[0056] Here, in some embodiments, the first mounting hole 2051 and the plurality of second mounting holes 2052 on the sampling transmission bottom plate 205 are respectively matched with the third limiting column 2024 and the plurality of fourth limiting columns 2021 on the large gear platform 202 (below the large gear platform 202), the first mounting hole 2051 is located at the center position on the sampling transmission bottom plate 205, the plurality of second mounting holes 2052 are evenly distributed with the first mounting hole 2051 as the center, and the positions of the third limiting column 2024 and the plurality of fourth limiting columns 2021 correspond one to one with the positions of the first mounting hole 2051 and the plurality of second mounting holes 2052. At the same time, the plurality of second mounting holes 2052 are limitedly matched with the plurality of fifth mounting columns 2081 on the sensor mounting seat 208.
[0057] Here, in some embodiments, screws are used but not limited to pass through the seventh through hole 2023 on the large gear platform 202 through the second mounting hole 2052 and the screw hole on the fifth mounting column 2081 to fix. The outer diameter of the fifth mounting column 2081 is larger than the second mounting hole 2052, thereby realizing the limited installation of the inertial measurement unit 207, the sensor mounting seat 208 and the chip traveling wave motor rotating platform 203 to form an integral rotating mechanism.
[0058] Here, in some embodiments, the electromagnetic indexing limiting mechanism 305 blocks the rotation of the plurality of fifth limiting posts 2026 on the large gear platform 202 to meet the positioning requirements. The plurality of fifth limiting posts 2026 are located below the large gear platform 202 and are circumferentially distributed along the rotation direction of the large gear platform 202.
[0059] Here, in some embodiments, the sensor rotor 209 of the MEMS capacitive angular position sensor 211 is limitedly mounted on the sensor mounting seat 208, thereby forming an overall sensing unit of the gyro north finder.
[0060] It should be noted that the various position limiting installation technologies in the above embodiments can ensure the effective engagement of the small gear rotor 201 with the large gear platform 202 , the concentric counter-rotation of the transmitting coil 302 and the receiving coil 204 , and the reliable operation of the MEMS capacitive angular position sensor 211 .
[0061] The principle of the present invention is explained below.
[0062] Since the driving force of the MEMS chip traveling wave motor 101 can be continuously output, and its driving principle is the friction effect, unlike traditional motors, when the small gear rotor 201 is blocked and stops rotating, it is not easy to generate heat, and there will be no missing steps. The large gear platform 202 can be continuously stopped at the blocked position without rebounding, and after stopping driving, the friction effect will make the chip traveling wave motor rotating platform 203 stop at the blocked position. Therefore, in the above embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, the second limiting post 3051 of the electromagnetic transfer limiting mechanism 305 can block the rotation of multiple fifth limiting posts 2026 on the large gear platform 202 when the power is off. When the electromagnetic transfer limiting mechanism 305 is energized, the second limiting post 3051 is sucked into the electromagnetic transfer limiting mechanism 305, and the chip traveling wave motor rotating platform 203 is released. Before rotating to the next fifth limiting post 2026, the integrated drive sampling control circuit board 40 controls the electromagnetic transfer limiting mechanism 305 to cut off the power, so as to limit the position of the chip traveling wave motor rotating platform 203 again, thereby simply realizing the stepping of the inertial measurement unit 207.
[0063] In the above embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the integrated driving sampling control circuit board 40 is responsible for driving and controlling the MEMS chip traveling wave motor 101, controlling and transmitting the data sampling of the inertial measurement unit 207, analyzing and processing the output signal of the MEMS capacitive angular position sensor 211, and controlling the electromagnetic displacement limiting mechanism 305. The circuit device density is large, so a three-dimensional stacking form is adopted to further achieve high-density integration. In the above embodiment, the overall structure of the integrated chip traveling wave motor type gyro north finder is as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, the structural size of the chip traveling wave motor gyro north finder of the present invention can be very small, 50 mm × 41.5 mm × 24.5 mm, and the indexing step control accuracy of the chip traveling wave motor rotating platform 203 can reach 0.06°. When the north-seeking time is 2 minutes, the north-seeking accuracy can reach 0.31°.
[0064] The chip traveling wave motor type gyro north finder proposed in the present invention is based on a MEMS chip traveling wave motor. An inertial measurement unit, a MEMS capacitive angular position sensor, an integrated drive sampling control circuit board, etc. are assembled in an embedded mechanical structure, so that the overall rotation modulation gyro north finder is tightly integrated internally and the volume size is significantly reduced. Based on the high-precision angle control technology of the MEMS capacitive angular position sensor and the electromagnetic indexing limiting mechanism, relying on the continuous output characteristic of the driving force of the MEMS chip traveling wave motor, the multi-position precise stepping of the inertial measurement unit is realized, the constant error compensation effect of the rotation modulation technology on the inertial device is ensured, and the north-seeking performance is effectively improved. A wireless power supply unit and a wireless signal transmission unit are adopted to realize non-contact power supply of the inertial measurement unit and wireless communication and data transmission with the integrated drive sampling control circuit board, thereby avoiding internal wiring and entanglement of the north finder, and eliminating the need to use an external slip ring that will bring rotation resistance, thereby ensuring efficient stepping of the inertial measurement unit and reducing the north-seeking time.
[0065] It should be understood that the chip traveling wave motor gyro north finder of the present invention can use any number of limit mechanisms, MEMS chip traveling wave motors and gyroscopes to meet the overall assembly and performance requirements.
