Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of gyroscopes, and in particular to a fiber optic gyroscope. Background Art

[0002] Traditional inertial gyroscopes are primarily mechanical. These gyroscopes have high requirements for process engineering and complex structures, and their accuracy is subject to numerous limitations. Since the 1970s, the development of modern gyroscopes has entered a new era. Modern fiber-optic gyroscopes, capable of accurately determining the position of moving objects, are widely used in modern aviation, navigation, aerospace, and defense industries as inertial navigation instruments. Their development holds strategic importance for a country's industry, defense, and other high-tech developments.

[0003] The implementation of the fiber optic gyroscope is mainly based on the Segnik theory: when a light beam travels in a circular channel, if the circular channel itself has a rotational speed, then the time required for the light to travel along the direction of the channel's rotation is longer than the time required to travel along the opposite direction of the channel. In other words, when the optical loop rotates, in different directions of travel, the optical path of the optical loop will change relative to the optical path when the loop is stationary. By using this change in optical path and detecting the phase difference or interference fringes between the two optical paths, the angular velocity of the optical path rotation can be measured.

[0004] However, in actual applications, the light source of the fiber optic gyroscope is easily interfered with, resulting in reduced navigation signal accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0039] Example

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1-2 An embodiment of the present invention provides a fiber optic gyroscope 4, comprising: a housing 1, a light source 2 installed in the housing 1, a first coupler 3, and three groups of fiber optic gyroscopes 4.

[0041] The light emitted by the light source 2 passes through the first coupler 3 and is split into three beams, each entering three sets of fiber optic gyroscopes 4. The integrated sampling design technology in fiber optic inertial navigation, where a single light source 2 drives three fiber optic gyroscopes 4, effectively solves the stability and parameter consistency issues of the light source 2 and overcomes the cross-interference resistance of the three-axis multiplexed optical path. Key technologies include miniaturized integration and rapid startup of the fiber optic gyroscopes 4. This reduces costs, reduces size, shortens system startup time, improves system reliability, and provides resistance to vibration and shock.

[0042] Specifically, each set of fiber optic gyroscopes 4 includes a second coupler 41, a Y-waveguide 42, a fiber ring 43, a photodetector 44, and a signal processing circuit 45 connected in sequence. The second coupler 41 in each set of fiber optic gyroscopes 4 splits a beam of light sent from the first coupler 3 into two, one of which enters the Y-waveguide 42. After internal adjustment by the Y-waveguide 42, the two beams of linearly polarized light that meet the coherence condition and have a high degree of polarization are output. The two beams of linearly polarized light propagate towards each other in the fiber ring 43 while sensing the external angular velocity. The photodetector 44 detects the change in the intensity of the interference signal, converts the optical signal into an electrical signal, and then inputs it into the signal processing circuit 45 for processing to generate a modulation voltage signal to adjust the Y-waveguide 42, so that the Y-waveguide 42 generates a feedback phase shift equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the external Sagnac phase shift, thereby forming a digital closed-loop operating mode, so that the fiber optic gyroscope 4 always operates near zero phase.

[0043] The fiber optic gyro compass utilizes strapdown inertial navigation technology. Its basic operating principle is based on Newton's laws of mechanics. It measures the acceleration of the carrier in an inertial reference frame, integrates it over time, and then transforms it into a navigation coordinate system. This information, including velocity, yaw angle, and position, is obtained in the navigation coordinate system. In practical systems, an inertial navigation system is typically used as the primary navigation system, while other navigation systems, such as astronomical navigation and GPS, are used as auxiliary navigation systems. Kalman filtering is applied to this auxiliary information, using it as an observation variable. The state variables of the combined system are then analyzed to generate a reliable, high-precision navigation signal.

Figure 3 In this embodiment, the cover body 11 and the bottom cover 12 are connected by fasteners. The bottom cover 12 is symmetrically provided with first fixing holes 121 on both sides. The fixing holes penetrate the bottom cover 12 from top to bottom and are located outside the cover body 11. To fix the housing 1, when in use, the cover body 11 and the bottom cover 12 are first fixed by fasteners, and then the housing 1 is fixed to the desired position through the fixing holes according to actual needs.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, the bottom cover 12 has symmetrically disposed insertion openings 122 on the left and right sides of its lower surface. This facilitates disassembly of the housing 1. The insertion openings 122 provide a force point for the user during disassembly, allowing the user to insert both hands into the insertion openings 122 on the left and right sides of the bottom cover 12. Furthermore, this facilitates transport.

[0046] Furthermore, a side wall of the cover body 11 is provided with an installation opening 111 for installing a connector.

The A, B, Y, and Z pins have ±15KV ESD protection and 25KV / us common-mode suppression capabilities, which can provide most of the protection functions for the chip pins. In harsh application environments, devices such as TVS tubes can be added to the bus to enhance the chip's protection against large surge currents and voltages.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 6In some embodiments of the present invention, the GPS module uses a GR-87 chip. The VCC pin of the GR-87 chip is grounded via a capacitor C92.

A resistor R32 is connected between the S and G electrodes of the field-effect transistor Q1. The G electrode of the field-effect transistor Q1 is connected to the collector of a transistor Q2. The emitter of the transistor Q2 is connected to the base via resistors R34 and R33. The common end of the resistors R34 and R33 is connected to input terminal 2 of an AND gate U24A.

[0053] In summary, an embodiment of the present invention provides a fiber optic gyroscope (4), comprising: a housing (1), a light source (2) mounted within the housing (1), a first coupler (3), and three groups of fiber optic gyroscopes (4). The three groups of fiber optic gyroscopes (4) have the same structure, each including a second coupler (41), a Y-waveguide (42), a fiber ring (43), a photodetector (44), and a signal processing circuit (45). The light emitted by the light source (2) is divided into three beams by the first coupler (3), and enters the three groups of fiber optic gyroscopes (4). The integrated sampling design technology in the fiber optic inertial navigation system (FIIN), whereby a single light source (2) drives the three fiber optic gyroscopes (4), effectively solves the stability and parameter consistency issues of the light source (2), and overcomes the cross-interference resistance of the three-axis multiplexed optical path.

The photodetector 44 detects changes in the intensity of the interference signal and converts the optical signal into an electrical signal, which is then input into the signal processing circuit 45 for processing. The resulting modulated voltage signal modulates the Y-waveguide 42, causing it to produce a feedback phase shift equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the external Sagnac phase shift. The fiber optic gyroscope 4 compass utilizes strapdown inertial navigation technology. Its basic operating principle is based on Newtonian mechanics. By measuring the acceleration of the carrier in an inertial reference frame, the acceleration is integrated over time, and then transformed into a navigation coordinate system. Velocity, yaw angle, and position information in the navigation coordinate system are obtained. Practical systems typically use an inertial navigation system as the primary navigation system.
