It mainly consists of a single gyroscope, a single accelerometer and a corresponding rotation mechanism. The gyroscope and accelerometer are installed on the north finder body, and encoders and rotation mechanisms are installed at both ends of the body. The control algorithm controls the rotation mechanism to drive the body to rotate in multiple positions, and then uses the output data of the gyroscope and accelerometer at each position to perform north-seeking solutions.

[0019] Example: See Figure 1A single-axis rotation mechanism for a north-finder includes a base 1, a motor 2, and a rotating shaft 3. The base 1 has a receiving cavity, and the motor 2 is installed in the receiving cavity, and the stator of the motor 2 is fixedly connected to the base 1. One end (inner end) of the rotating shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the rotor of the motor 2, and the other end (outer end) extends out of the base 1 for connection to the north-finder body 11. The rotating shaft 3 is a stepped shaft, and the end surface of the end extending out of the base 1 forms the mounting plate 8 of the north-finder body 11. The diameter of the rotating shaft 3 gradually decreases from one end close to the mounting plate 8 to the other end. A connecting ring is respectively provided on the outside of the stator of the motor 2 and the inside of the rotor of the motor 2. The connecting ring on the outside of the stator of the motor 2 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the connecting ring on the inside of the rotor of the motor 2 is fixedly connected to a stepped surface of the rotating shaft 3.
[0020] A convex ring 4 protruding from the base 1 is provided on the side of the base 1 protruding from the base 1 close to the rotating shaft 3. The convex ring 4 is located outside the rotating shaft 3 and is arranged coaxially with the rotating shaft 3. There is a distance between the mounting plate 8 and the base 1, and the convex ring 4 is located within the distance. A first bearing 5 is provided between the convex ring 4 and the rotating shaft 3. First bearing pressure covers 9 that are tightly attached to the first bearing 5 are provided at both ends of the first bearing 5; the first bearing pressure cover 9 at one end of the first bearing 5 close to the motor 2 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 3 and fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 3, and the first bearing pressure cover 9 at the other end is sleeved on the convex ring 4 and fixedly connected to the convex ring 4; thereby ensuring the stability of the bearing position and preventing the bearing from moving.
[0021] A groove circumferentially extending around the rotating shaft 3 is provided at the end of the rotating shaft 3 connected to the rotor of the motor 2. The groove is located on a stepped surface near the end of the rotating shaft 3 located within the base 1, with its inner wall coexisting with the end of the rotating shaft 3 located within the base 1. A sleeve 6 is positioned within the groove, coaxial with the rotating shaft 3 and spaced apart from the inner wall of the groove. Within the spacing between the sleeve 6 and the inner wall of the groove, several second bearings 7 are positioned axially along the rotating shaft 3. In a specific embodiment, two second bearings 7 are provided, each tightly abutting against the other, effectively supporting the inner end of the rotating shaft 3. A second bearing cover 10 is provided at the end of the rotating shaft 3 located within the base 1. The second bearing cover 10 tightly abuts against the second bearing 7 and presses the second bearing 7 against the bottom of the groove. In one embodiment, two second bearing covers 7 are provided, overlapping each other and pressing against the inner and outer rings of the second bearing 7, respectively. During operation, the second bearing cap 7 is fixedly connected to the end face of the rotating shaft 3 via a compression bolt. Its outer side extends to the outside of the end of the rotating shaft 3 and presses against the second bearing 7, thereby ensuring the stability of the bearing position and preventing bearing movement. The sleeve 6, with its end facing away from the bottom of the groove, extends to the outside of the end of the motor 2, then bends and extends toward the side wall of the base 1, where it is fixedly connected to the base 1.
[0022] In this solution, a first bearing 5 is provided at the end (outer end) of the rotating shaft 3 extending from the base 1, and a second bearing 7 is provided at the end (inner end) of the rotating shaft 3 located inside the base 1. The first bearing 5 and the second bearing 7 are both connected to the base 1, so that the force arm can be increased through the first bearing 5 and the second bearing 7, and the force received by the rotating shaft 3 can be transmitted to the base 1, thereby improving the bearing capacity of the rotating assembly and improving the uniformity of the force applied to the rotating assembly, ensuring the balance of the shaft force, thereby ensuring the stability of the rotating assembly of the north finder in a vertical state for a long time and avoiding affecting the accuracy of the equipment.
