Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) aircraft, in particular to an inertial sensor limiting structure. Background Art
[0002] An inertial sensor is a commonly used detection instrument, which includes an accelerometer and a gyroscope. The accelerometer is used to detect the acceleration component of an object, and the gyroscope is used to detect the angle information of an object. Generally, an IMU is installed at the center of gravity of an object. Since it has the function of measuring the three-axis attitude angle (or angular rate) and acceleration of an object, an IMU is usually used as a core component of navigation and guidance, and is widely used in vehicles, ships, robots, unmanned aerial vehicles and other equipment that require motion control. In an unmanned aerial vehicle, an inertial sensor is used to feedback the fuselage attitude of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The inertial sensor is generally installed on a bracket, and a conductive wire is led out from the inertial sensor to connect with the electronic components in the unmanned aerial vehicle. However, due to the high-speed movement of the drone, the inertial sensor will be in the environment, and excessive vibration will cause the drift of the gyroscope and accelerometer of the inertial sensor to be too large, making it difficult to ensure the accuracy of its measurement accuracy. Therefore, in order to reduce the impact of the fuselage vibration on the IMU, a shock-absorbing ball will be set on the bracket to connect with the fuselage, thereby achieving a certain shock-absorbing and limiting effect.
[0003] The existing sensor limit structure is provided with a round hole, and the sensor is installed in the round hole by relying on the elastic deformation of a rubber ball. In order to facilitate installation, the necks at both ends of the rubber ball will not be made much larger than the round hole. However, since the rubber ball is relatively soft, the inertia generated when the drone makes an emergency stop at high speed will cause the rubber ball to fall out of the round hole, thereby damaging the sensor.
