Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a calibration device, in particular to a magnetic compass accuracy calibration device. Background Art
[0002] As an important navigation device for ships, the magnetic compass is a basic navigation method and is installed on every ship in huge quantities. The magnetic compass is affected by various external interference sources. After a period of time, a large error will occur and the navigation accuracy will decrease. It is necessary to perform precision calibration regularly to maintain a high precision index. The precision calibration process requires a rotation every 10 degrees to complete a 360-degree precision calibration, with a total of 36 rotation positions.
[0003] As one of the marine navigation equipment, the magnetic compass is a backup device. Due to its low price, manufacturers are unwilling to invest a lot of resources and energy in the research of precision calibration and convenience. Maintenance and support units can only use the manual contact rotation method. There is no better and more convenient method. At present, in practical work, crew members or maintenance technicians use the manual contact rotation method to directly rotate the main compass bowl through manual operation. Each position must be rotated multiple times to collect and record data. A total of several positions need to be recorded, and the calibration process is time-consuming.
[0004] The manual contact rotation method has the following three disadvantages: First, the main compass basin is in full contact with the base on the hull, resulting in great friction during rotation, and the rotation to each fixed position is not accurate enough, requiring repeated rotation back and forth. Second, manual rotation of the main compass basin will introduce human errors, causing the main compass basin to shake back and forth in the horizontal plane, which in turn causes visual reading errors and affects precision calibration. Third, during the manual rotation of the main compass basin, the force cannot be precisely controlled, resulting in the communication cable between the main compass basin and the base on the hull being easily pinched or stuck during rotation. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model aims to provide a magnetic compass precision calibration device to solve the problem of long magnetic compass calibration time and large error.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:
