Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of laser gyroscopes, and in particular to a dither wheel and a laser gyroscope for a miniaturized three-axis integrated laser gyroscope. Background Technique
[0002] A laser gyroscope is a sensing device based on the Sagnac effect for measuring the angular motion of a carrier, and is one of the core components of an inertial navigation system. Compared with other types of gyroscopes such as mechanical gyroscopes, three-float gyroscopes, electrostatic gyroscopes, and fiber optic gyroscopes, it has the advantages of fast startup, high precision, large dynamic range, shock resistance, and high stability, and is currently the most widely used gyroscope.
[0003] In the prior art, a single-axis laser gyroscope is adopted for a laser gyroscope, that is, a single-axis laser gyroscope can only measure the angular rate in one direction, and three single-axis laser gyroscopes need to be orthogonally installed to measure the angular rates in three directions to meet the requirements of an inertial navigation system. However, due to structural limitations, the single-axis laser gyroscope restricts the application of the laser gyroscope in the field of miniaturized applications.
[0004] In order to reduce the size of the laser gyroscope, in the prior art, the publication number is CN218097784U, and the name is a novel spatial three-axis laser gyro resonator cavity, including: a first sensitive optical loop, a second sensitive optical loop, and a third sensitive optical loop. The three sensitive optical loops intersect perpendicularly in pairs in a non-gain area pipeline. It ensures that the three optical paths will not interfere with each other, can be independently adjusted, and can effectively avoid technical difficulties such as the mutual correlation cavity and cross-frequency stabilization of the current spatial three-axis laser gyro. Further improve the accuracy of the spatial three-axis laser gyro and reduce the difficulty of cavity adjustment and frequency stabilization.
[0005] However, the overall size of the laser gyroscope in the prior art is still relatively large. Therefore, in order to reduce the size of the laser gyroscope while ensuring the accuracy of the laser gyroscope, a dither wheel for a miniaturized three-axis integrated laser gyroscope is urgently needed.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model and are not intended to limit them; although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present utility model.
