Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of airborne optoelectronic reconnaissance and detection technology, and relates to a novel three-axis wide-area pod structure. Background Technology

[0002] In regional combat scenarios, it is necessary to continuously acquire and analyze image information within a certain range on the ground for intelligence analysis by combat command. Typically, airborne multi-band integrated optoelectronic systems, including television, infrared, and laser systems, are used for imaging, identification, and tracking of ground targets. These optoelectronic systems generally possess a multi-dimensional rotating frame, which, through servo control, stabilizes the line of sight on the area of ​​interest, enabling large-area scanning and staring imaging. Currently, optoelectronic systems with such capabilities mainly include optoelectronic pods, wide-area surveillance systems, and scanning arrays. Their ground observation and targeting capabilities mostly employ a two-dimensional rotating structure of azimuth plus pitch or roll plus push-scan. The two-dimensional scanning imaging principle cannot compensate for the image rotation caused by aircraft turning, requiring electronic image rotation correction, which leads to problems such as field-of-view loss and edge distortion. Three-axis wide-area pod structures employ a three-degree-of-freedom rotation form of inner azimuth, mid-pitch, and outer roll. Inner azimuth rotation compensates for the image rotation caused by yaw, while mid-pitch and outer roll achieve line-of-sight orientation, improving efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] (I) Purpose of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel three-axis wide-area pod structure that provides three-dimensional orientation for optical sensing components, meets the requirements for line-of-sight stability, and has a good overall aerodynamic shape and compact structure.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical issues, this invention provides a novel three-axis wide-area pod structure, incorporating a servo drive motor, a position feedback element (photoelectric encoder), and a speed measurement element (fiber optic gyroscope). The entire unit is sealed using sealing ropes and dynamic sealing rings. Electrical wiring interfaces are pre-installed internally, and electrical connectors are pre-installed externally, facilitating internal power supply and information connectivity with the outside. The airborne connection point employs a metal vibration isolator design, connecting the three-axis pod structure to the aircraft mounting surface while isolating it from high-frequency external disturbances from the aircraft. This provides a foundation for the realization of a wide-area surveillance optoelectronic system.

[0007] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0008] The novel three-axis wide-area pod structure provided by the above technical solution consists of inner azimuth, mid-pitch, and outer roll axes. Internally, it has mounting interfaces for various optical observation and aiming components such as television, thermal imaging, and laser sensors. Externally, it features metal vibration dampers to isolate aircraft platform disturbances and is equipped with a three-axis high-precision fiber optic gyroscope for high-precision inertial stabilization, enabling stable directional aiming of sensors. By using the inner azimuth axis to compensate for yaw, it solves the problem of previous two-axis airborne optoelectronic pod systems requiring electronic image correction rotation to achieve fixed-area, fixed-direction imaging, thus realizing fixed-area dynamic monitoring imaging.

The three-axis wide-area pod structure includes an outer roll assembly 3-1, a mid-pitch assembly 3-2, and an inner azimuth assembly 3-3. The outer roll assembly 3-1 is connected to the carrier aircraft through a metal vibration damper 5-1 to effectively reduce high-frequency disturbances of the aircraft, and is also connected to the mid-pitch assembly 3-2 through shaft components. The mid-pitch assembly 3-2 is connected to the rotating part of the outer roll assembly 3-1 through its fixed end structure, and is also connected to the fixed end of the inner azimuth assembly 3-3 through its rotating end. The rotating end of the inner azimuth assembly 3-3 is fixed to an optical bench, which has an installation interface for mounting various optical observation and aiming components such as television, thermal imaging, and laser. The inner azimuth assembly 3-3 can rotate 360° continuously around its own axis to solve the image rotation problem caused by the carrier aircraft flying around it when the photoelectric pod is observing and imaging vertically downwards.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the outer roll assembly 3-1 includes an annular roll frame 4-3 located in the middle, a roll motor assembly 4-1 located at the lower left end of the roll frame 4-3, and a roll encoder assembly 4-2 located at the upper right end of the roll frame 4-3.

[0028] like Figure 5As shown, the roll motor assembly 4-1 includes a metal vibration damper 5-1, a left hanger 5-2, a connector assembly 5-3, a roll motor shaft stator seat 5-4, a roll motor shaft rotor seat 5-5, a roll motor 5-6, a roll bearing 5-7, a roll motor rotor pressure ring 5-8, an inner bearing pressure ring 5-9, an outer bearing pressure ring 5-10, a dynamic seal ring 5-11, a sealing rope 5-12, and a bearing stator seat 5-13. The left hanger 5-2 is circular in the middle, with through holes on the edge of its circular end face for fixing to the roll motor shaft stator seat 5-4 with screws. A square hole is located at the center of the circular end face for installing the electrical connector assembly 5-3. There are circular holes for installing vibration dampers at both ends. The metal vibration damper 5-1 is installed in the circular holes at both ends of the left hanger 5-2. The metal vibration damper 5-1 is a three-dimensional equal stiffness vibration damper. In actual selection, vibration dampers with the corresponding natural frequency are selected according to the vibration characteristics of the carrier aircraft, and they are distributed as far apart as possible. Connector 5-3 is installed in the central square hole on the left hanger end face and fixed with screws. It primarily serves as the internal and external communication path for the power signal of the optoelectronic system and meets airtightness requirements. The roll motor stator seat 5-4 is fixed to the left hanger 5-2. The roll motor stator seat 5-4 has a central circular hole, the inner surface of which is clearance-fitted with the stator of the roll motor 5-6. Threaded holes are distributed on the end face of the roll motor stator seat 5-4 for fixing the roll motor 5-6. The roll motor 5-6 is a brushed torque motor. The motor rotor is positioned by mating with the shaft hole of the roll motor shaft rotor seat 5-5. Threaded holes are distributed on the end face of the roll motor shaft rotor seat 5-5 for fixing the roll motor rotor. The roll motor shaft rotor seat 5-5, as the rotating end of the outer roll assembly, is fixed to the lower left end face of the roll frame 4-3. The end face of the roll motor shaft rotor seat 5-5 that contacts the roll frame 4-3 has threaded holes, and the lower left end face of the roll frame 4-3 has through holes for fixing with screws. The rolling motor stator housing 5-4 and the rolling motor rotor housing 5-5 combine to form a U-shaped groove, within which a sliding seal ring 5-11 is installed to ensure the watertightness of the rotating frame. The rolling motor shaft stator housing 5-4 and the left hanger 5-2 form a U-shaped groove, with an elastic sealing rope 5-12 interference-fitted in the middle to ensure static sealing. The rolling bearing 5-7 is a paired angular contact ball bearing, mounted back-to-back.

The optical bench (15-9) and the rotating end of the slip ring (15-8) are fixed together by screws. The lower surface edge of the optical bench (15-9) has a flat surface with threaded holes, forming the mounting surface of the azimuth gyroscope assembly (15-12). The mounting surface has through holes, and the azimuth gyroscope assembly (15-12) is fixed together with the optical bench (15-9) by screws. The azimuth gyroscope assembly (15-12) is sensitive to the rotation speed of the azimuth axis. Different mechanical interfaces are provided on the lower surface of the optical bench (15-9) as needed to fix different types of optical loads, meeting system application requirements. The rotating end of the inner azimuth assembly (03-3) rotates continuously 360° around its axis under motor drive, offsetting the image rotation problem caused by the aircraft's flight path.
