Gimbal Center-of-Gravity Adjustment Using a Threaded Rod

A threaded rod serves as an intermediary mechanism between the rotating handle and the guiding post. When the rotating handle turns the threaded rod, the threaded connection converts rotational motion into linear displacement, allowing the guiding post to move along the first-frame pillar. This intermediary threaded connection mechanism overcomes the high static friction between structural members by providing a mechanical advantage through the threading geometry.

The patent replaces direct mechanical displacement of structural members with a threaded rod mechanism. Instead of directly moving components against high friction, the system uses a threaded rod that can be rotated to produce controlled linear movement. This substitution of the mechanical system with a threaded actuation mechanism reduces the force required for adjustment by converting rotational force into precise linear displacement.

The system allows dynamic adjustment of the guiding post position along the first-frame pillar through rotation of the threaded rod. The threaded mechanism enables continuous, smooth displacement rather than discrete steps, allowing the operator to make fine adjustments to achieve precise center of gravity positioning. The dynamic nature of the threaded connection allows for incremental adjustments that are easy to control.

The patent changes the position parameter of the guiding post along the first-frame pillar by rotating the threaded rod. This parameter change approach allows precise control over the center of gravity position, as the threaded rod's rotation can be precisely controlled to achieve the desired displacement. The system transforms the problem of difficult adjustment into a simple rotational operation that provides fine control over the guiding post's linear position.

The threaded rod mechanism replaces direct manual positioning with a controlled actuation system. The operator simply needs to rotate the handle, and the threaded rod automatically provides both speed and precision through its mechanical geometry. This substitution allows quick adjustment initiation while maintaining positioning accuracy through the inherent precision of the threaded connection.

The threaded rod mechanism is self-regulating in terms of positioning precision. As the operator rotates the handle, the threaded connection naturally provides controlled displacement at a rate that is easy to manage. The system essentially serves itself by converting the operator's rotational input into precise linear motion without requiring complex control mechanisms, achieving both speed and accuracy through its simple mechanical design.
