The reliability of the connection of each conductive slip ring of the power transmission device is directly related to the accuracy of the INS and even its normal operation. The power transmission device belongs to a wear life part and needs to be replaced regularly. The power transmission device is installed inside the upper shaft of the inertial platform. When replacing the power transmission device, the upper shaft needs to be removed. A heading angle measuring element is also installed at the end of the upper shaft of the inertial platform.

[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] An angle-zeroing method for an angle measuring element for replacing a power transmission device of a ship's inertial navigation system. The angle-zeroing method for the angle measuring element includes the following steps:

[0027] Step 1: Fix the body 3 of the inertial platform 1 and the pitch gimbal 4 with the zeroing tooling 13. The inertial platform 1 includes a body 3, a pitch gimbal 4, a roll gimbal 5, and a base 6. The bottom of the roll gimbal 5 is fixed on the base 6. The upper shaft 7 at the top of the pitch gimbal 4 is provided with electrical components 8 such as a resolver, an inductosyn, and a power transmission device.

[0028] Set up the first autocollimation theodolite 11 and the second autocollimation theodolite 12, respectively aim at the plane mirror 2 of the pitch gimbal 4 of the inertial platform 1 and a vertical surface of the hexahedron of the body 3, adjust the vertical surface to be in substantially the same orientation as the pitch gimbal 4 and the plane mirror 2, and the normal directions are substantially the same. The first autocollimation theodolite 11 aims at the plane mirror 2 of the pitch gimbal 4, and the second autocollimation theodolite 12 aims at a vertical surface of the hexahedron of the body 3 that is in the same orientation as the plane mirror 2. After alignment, the first autocollimation theodolite 11 and the second autocollimation theodolite 12 aim at each other.

[0029] The zeroing tooling is a U-shaped support frame 9. The two ends of the U-shaped support frame 9 are fixed to the pitch gimbal 4 of the inertial platform 1, and the middle of the U-shaped support frame 9 is fixed to the body 3 of the inertial platform 1 through an L-shaped connecting frame 10. The body 3 of the inertial platform 1 and the pitch gimbal 4 are fixed through the zeroing tooling, and the relative angles between the pitch gimbal 4 and the roll gimbal 5 and between the roll gimbal 5 and the base 6 are locked by bolts. Thus, the relative angle stability of the entire inertial platform 1 is maintained.

[0030] Step 2: Read the electrical outputs of the course resolver and the inductosyn from the display panel of the inertial navigation system, and record the azimuth difference between the first autocollimation theodolite 11 and the second autocollimation theodolite 12, that is, the relative angle data between the body 3 and the pitch gimbal 4, as the original data;

[0031] Step 3: Turn off the power of the inertial navigation system, remove the zeroing tooling, instruments, the first autocollimation theodolite 11, and the second autocollimation theodolite;

[0032] Step 4: Replace the power transmission device, and reinstall the resolver and the inductosyn.

[0033] Step 5: After completion, check the correctness of the wiring, the friction torque of the 3 axes of the platform body, and the static balance of the platform.

[0034] Step 6: Use the zeroing tooling to fix the platform body 3 of the inertial platform 1 again. Set up the first autocollimation theodolite 11 and the second autocollimation theodolite 12 to aim at the plane mirror 2 of the pitching gimbal 4 and the hexahedron of the platform body 3 respectively. Adjust the zeroing tooling to restore the relative angle between the platform body 3 and the pitching gimbal 4 to the original data; adjust the relative positions of the stator and rotor of the resolver and the inductosyn to make the electrical outputs of the resolver and the inductosyn consistent with the original data.

[0035] Step 7: Glue and fix the stator and rotor of the resolver and the inductosyn.

[0036] Step 8: Complete the reinstallation of the platform.

[0037] Step 9: Power on the system for verification.

[0038] Under the condition that the ship is in the dry dock and sitting on the pier, use the zeroing tooling to fix the pitching gimbal 4 and the platform body 3. Use two theodolites to aim at the hexahedron of the platform body 3 and the plane mirror 2 of the pitching gimbal 4 respectively, and read and record the electrical outputs of the angle measuring elements and the azimuth difference between the two theodolites. After completing the replacement of the power transmission device, use the zeroing tooling and the two theodolites to adjust the rotation angle between the pitching gimbal 4 and the platform body 3 to the position before replacement and fix it, and adjust the electrical output of the angle measuring elements to ensure that the electrical zero positions of the angle measuring elements are consistent before and after replacement. Dozens of sets of inertial navigation power transmission devices need to be replaced every year, which greatly improves the in-flight use efficiency of the inertial navigation system. The process is simple and easy to operate, reduces the technical types of work and professional technical requirements, and greatly improves the work efficiency.

Therefore, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the content disclosed in the embodiments and drawings.
