[0023] The present invention provides an inertial measurement unit turntable, such as Figure 1 As shown, the whole is composed of a connecting plate 1, a rotating disk assembly 2, a fork ear plate 3, a handwheel screw assembly 4, a support rod 5, a frame 6, a chassis 7, a movable wheel 8, a third bolt 9, a spring washer 10, a flat washer 11, a perforated pin 12, a perforated pin 13, etc.

[0024] The connecting plate 1 is located at the top of the inertial measurement unit turntable. It is a rectangular steel plate with evenly arranged threaded holes for connecting with the inertial measurement unit. The threaded holes are of different sizes and are staggered on the connecting plate for common inertial measurement units of different styles. Threaded holes for connecting with the rotating disk unit 2 are also arranged on the connecting plate. In the non-working area, lightening holes are arranged to reduce the mass of the device.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the rotating disk assembly 2 is located below the connecting plate 1 and is connected to the connecting plate 1 by bolts, and includes a rotating shaft 2-1, a first bearing 2-2, a bearing seat 2-3, a pad 2-4, an adapter plate 2-5, and bolts 2-6. The rotating shaft 2-1 is located at the uppermost layer, and is bolted to the connecting plate 1 through a flange surface and cooperates with the inner ring of the first bearing 2-2. The bearing seat 2-3 cooperates with the outer ring of the first bearing 2-2 and is connected to the adapter plate 2-5 by bolts. The pad 2-4 is located below the rotating shaft 2-1 and is fixed to the rotating shaft 2-1 by bolts. The pad 2-4 overlaps the bearing seat 2-3 to ensure that the rotating disk assembly 2 is fixed and not loose. The adapter plate 2-5 is in the shape of a U-shaped letter and is located at the bottom. It is connected to the bearing seat 2-3 and the fork ear plate 3.

[0026] The fork ear plate 3 is a rectangular steel plate welded or screwed with three fork ears, and the three fork ears are arranged in an isosceles triangle, wherein the fork ear at the top position of the isosceles triangle is designed with a waist-shaped hole, and the two fork ears at the two bottom positions are designed with circular connecting holes.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the handwheel screw assembly 4 includes a handwheel 4-1, a second bearing 4-2, a sleeve 4-3, a screw 4-4, a gasket 4-5, and a bolt 4-6. The handwheel 4-1 is located at the upper part of the handwheel screw assembly 4, and is welded by a rotating disk and a nut, and is connected to the screw 4-4 through a T-shaped thread in the nut. The sleeve 4-3 is located below the handwheel 4-1 and is in the shape of a socket wrench. A T-shaped thread is machined in the middle, and a notch is milled on the top to match the nut of the handwheel 4-1. The second bearing 4-2 is installed inside the sleeve, and is connected to the screw 4-4 through a T-shaped thread; the lower part of the screw 4-4 has a thread connected to the gasket 4-5 through a bolt 4-6.

[0028] There are two support rods 5, one end of which is connected to the fork ear plate 3, and the other end is fixed to the frame 6 by bolts.

[0029] The frame 6 is located on the chassis 7, fixed with the support rod 5 by bolts, and fixed by welding with the sleeve 4-3. It is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped as a whole and is welded from square steel pipes. Steel plates are welded on the upper and lower parts. The upper steel plate is provided with a circular hole groove and a threaded hole, which cooperates with the sleeve 4-3 through the circular hole groove and is connected to the support rod 5 by bolts through the threaded hole. The lower steel plate is provided with a light hole and is connected and fixed with the chassis 7 by bolts. The upper and lower steel plates are provided with lightening holes.

[0030] The chassis 7 is located at the lower part of the overall structure and is circular in shape. It is provided with lightening holes and bolt connection holes for connecting with the frame 6 and the movable wheel 8 .

[0031] The movable wheel 8 is provided with a brake and is connected and fixed to the chassis 7 by bolts.

[0032] The turntable can provide the aircraft with pitch, roll and heading rotation, with a simple and light structure and continuously adjustable angle.

[0033] The overall structure is simple and ingenious. A two-layer motion structure is used to realize the above three-directional rotation. To realize the rotation in three directions, a three-layer motion structure is conventionally designed to complete the above functions. Now the action is decomposed, and the heading (horizontal plane rotation) function is designed at the top layer. The pitch and roll functions are combined and realized by a motion structure, that is, before pitching and rolling, the heading angle of the top layer is adjusted, and then the pitch and roll actions are performed;

[0034] The functional structure is novel and effective. It adopts the structure of tripod ears + screw rod to realize the function of hinge (door axis) to achieve pitch and roll operations. The tripod ears are arranged in an isosceles triangle. The structure is stable and reliable and will not deflect. During the lifting process of the screw rod, the angle can be stopped at any time, and there is no need to use a pin to fix the bearing when it rotates.

[0035] The turntable has good versatility. The 1 connecting plate and the 2 rotating disk assemblies are connected by bolts. Common inertial measurement component connection ports are designed on them. When other unconventional inertial measurement components need to be tested, only a new 1 connecting plate needs to be remade to meet the test of other special models of inertial measurement components.

[0036] The turntable can provide the aircraft with pitch, roll and heading rotation. It has a simple and lightweight structure and its angle can be continuously adjusted and fixed, meeting the needs of ground power-on debugging of the inertial measurement unit.

[0037] Test method using this turntable:

[0038] Test method: First, push (carry) the inertial measurement unit turntable onto the aircraft as needed, fix the inertial measurement (unit) assembly to the connecting plate 1 with screws, make preparations before the test according to technical conditions, rotate the rotating disk assembly 2 to make the inertial measurement (unit) assembly rotate in the plane where the connecting plate 1 is located, and test whether the inertial measurement (unit) assembly functions normally when the aircraft makes heading movements. After completing the heading function test, return the inertial measurement unit turntable. Figure 1 In the initial position shown, the handwheel 4-1 of the handwheel screw assembly 4 is rotated to make the inertial measurement (unit) assembly rotate around the double fork ear axis of the fork ear plate 3 to test whether the inertial measurement (unit) assembly functions normally when the aircraft rolls. After completing the roll function test, the handwheel 4-1 of the handwheel screw assembly 4 is rotated to make the handwheel screw assembly 4 return to the initial state shown in the figure, the connecting plate 1 is rotated 90°, and the handwheel 4-1 of the handwheel screw assembly 4 is rotated again to make the inertial measurement (unit) assembly rotate around the double fork ear axis of the fork ear plate 3 to test whether the inertial measurement (unit) assembly functions normally when the aircraft pitches. Completing the pitch function test means completing the functional test of the inertial measurement assembly (unit) in all directions of the aircraft.

[0039] The turntable has a simple and light overall structure, and adopts a two-layer motion structure to realize the above-mentioned three-direction rotation. The overall turntable is smaller in size, lighter in weight, and has universal wheels, making it more convenient to push or carry onto an aircraft.

[0040] Single-person operation is simple and convenient, the rotation angle is continuously adjustable and can be paused, the angular rate can be large or small, and the test efficiency is improved. The structure of the tripod ear + lead screw realizes the function of the hinge (door axis) to achieve pitch and roll operations, and the tripod ears are arranged in an isosceles triangle. The structure is stable and reliable and will not deflect. The lead screw is self-locking when lifting and lowering, and the lifting angle can be stopped at any time, without the need for a pin to fix the bearing during rotation.

[0041] The turntable has good versatility and saves tooling costs. The connecting plate and the rotating disk assembly are connected by bolts, and a common inertial measurement component connection port is designed on it. When other unconventional inertial measurement components need to be tested, only a new connecting plate needs to be remade to meet the test of other special models of inertial measurement components.
