Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of inertial measurement sensors, relates to a precision assembly process for a hemispherical resonant gyroscope, and in particular to a device and a method for realizing welding of a hemispherical resonant gyroscope. Background Art

[0002] The hemispherical resonant gyroscope is a new type of inertial solid gyroscope. It has the unique advantages of high precision, small size, strong impact resistance, long life, high reliability, etc. It has obvious advantages in military applications. Figure 1 As shown, it is mainly composed of a hemispherical resonator 1, an electrode base 2, a base assembly 3 and a sealing cover 4. Among them, the hemispherical resonator is the core sensitive element of the gyroscope, which uses the precession effect of the standing wave at the edge of the spherical shell to measure the external angular motion. The vibration stability of the standing wave at the edge of the spherical shell determines the accuracy of the gyroscope; the base is the driving / detecting element of the gyroscope, and the angular position accuracy of the electrode and the capacitance consistency between the electrodes directly determine the control stability and angle sensing accuracy of the resonator; the base assembly is the support and vibration reduction structure of the gyroscope, which is used for gyroscope installation and isolation or to reduce the influence of external vibration, ambient temperature changes, etc. on the vibration of the resonator and the performance of the meter head; the sealing cover is used to maintain the vacuum environment inside the gyroscope to meet the gyroscope tooling requirements. The gyroscope assembly process is mainly divided into three steps: the first step is to connect the inner handle of the resonator with the inner hole of the base to form a resonator and base assembly; the second step is to weld the resonator and base assembly to the base component through the lead-out terminal of the electrode base and the high-voltage lead-out terminal on the inner handle of the resonator; the third step is to weld the sealing cover to the base assembly to achieve the vacuum sealing of the gyroscope. Hemispherical resonant gyroscope base components such as Figure 2 As shown, it is mainly composed of a base and 10 support rods, of which 8 support rods 3-1 arranged along the circumference play a supporting and vibration reduction role, and the other two support rods 3-2 are used to connect the conductive silver wire. The coaxiality of the circumference of the 8 support rods and the inner hole of the electrode base, as well as the amount of solder, welding uniformity, welding quality, etc. are crucial to the effect of the base assembly isolating external vibration and ambient temperature changes.

[0003] For example, patent CN201080051611.9 (gyroscope sensor and manufacturing method of the sensor) proposes a gyroscope sensor structure and manufacturing method, and introduces the structure of each component of the gyroscope. The gyroscope is characterized in that the support rod is non-inserted relative to the electrode base, but is connected to the electrode of the electrode base through the end face, thereby greatly improving the mechanical properties of the gyroscope. Patent CN201080051379.9 (welding method, gyroscope and welding component) proposes the composition of the coating film system of the welding part of the above-mentioned components and the composition of the solder used for welding. However, these two patents do not disclose the assembly method between the various components of the gyroscope.

[0004] For example, patent CN202311159833.8 (A hemispherical resonant gyroscope based on stress-free bonding and its assembly method) proposes a hemispherical resonant gyroscope and its assembly method based on stress-free bonding. By designing the structure of the resonator and the electrode base, while ensuring the electrode gap between the resonator and the base, the difficulty of assembly between the two is reduced. However, in terms of the assembly between the resonator and the base assembly and the connector of the base component, the invention only briefly introduces the bonding assembly with conductive adhesive, and does not disclose how to ensure the coaxiality of the circumference of the support rods 1 to 8 and the inner hole of the electrode base. In addition, the support rod is inserted relative to the electrode base, which results in poor mechanical properties of this type of gyroscope.

[0005] Other domestic patents related to the assembly of hemispherical resonator gyroscopes are mostly focused on solving the identification and adjustment of the spherical gap between the resonator and the electrode base, the identification and adjustment of the coaxiality between the resonator and the axial hole of the electrode base, and the welding or bonding of the resonator and the electrode base, but do not involve the welding device or method of the resonator and base assembly to the base component.

[0047] The positioning base is used to achieve coaxial positioning of the hemispherical resonator, the electrode base and the base assembly. The positioning base is composed of a base assembly positioning portion 9-1, a hemispherical resonator and electrode base combination positioning portion 9-2 and a chassis portion 9-3, which are sequentially arranged from top to bottom. The hemispherical resonator and electrode base combination positioning portion is used to achieve inverted positioning installation after the hemispherical resonator and the electrode base are combined. It is composed of an upper square positioning platform and a lower positioning cylinder coaxially arranged from top to bottom.

The diameter of the large hole 9-2-1 of the stepped hole is consistent with the outer diameter of the electrode base, and the depth of the large hole is less than the thickness of the electrode base, which is used to achieve the positioning of the electrode base. Since the resonator and the electrode base are plug-in matched, the positioning of both is achieved at the same time. The aperture of the small hole 9-2-2 of the stepped hole is larger than the maximum spherical diameter of the resonator, and is used to accommodate the resonator. In addition, a plurality of threaded holes 9-2-3 are provided at the periphery of the middle step hole at the upper end of the upper square positioning platform for installing the fixing fixtures of the resonator and the electrode base assembly.

[0048] The base assembly positioning part is composed of four support legs of equal height, which are respectively arranged at the four corners of the upper end of the upper square positioning platform.

At this time, the lower end of the base assembly does not contact the bottom surface of the right-angle concave platform, and a set gap is left between the two to provide space for the slight downward movement of the base assembly during the welding process.

The upper cover plate adopts a square cover plate, and the four connecting bosses are arranged at the four corners of the lower end of the upper cover plate. Screw holes are arranged on the upper cover at the four connecting bosses, and the four screw holes correspond one-to-one to the four threaded holes arranged at the upper ends of the four support legs near the outer corners. The upper cover is supported above the four supports so that the four screw holes correspond one-to-one to the four threaded holes, and the upper cover is fixed above the positioning base by installing the fastening screws. In addition, a plurality of mounting through holes are arranged on the upper cover plate.

[0053] The base assembly clamping fixture is composed of multiple sets of spring probes, and the upper ends of the multiple sets of spring probes are plugged and fixedly connected to the mounting through holes on the upper cover plate. The lower ends of the multiple sets of spring probes extend to the upper end of the base assembly to achieve downward clamping of the base assembly, and during the welding process, as the base assembly moves slightly downward, a continuous clamping state is maintained.
