Gyro Steering Control With Direction Switching for Reverse Motion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current steering systems for model airplanes and similar objects struggle to maintain effective posture control during both forward and backward movements, as the control direction of gyro sensors is typically fixed for either direction, increasing the difficulty of steering.
Innovation Solution
A gyro unit with a controller that switches the control direction based on the movement direction, using a combination of gyro sensors and a transmitter to transmit steering signals, allowing for posture control during both forward and backward movements by adjusting the input signals from the gyro sensors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If fixed control direction is used, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different movement directions decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic control direction switching mechanism that adds minimal complexity to the system. Rather than requiring separate sensor configurations for different movements, the system uses a simple controller that switches the control direction parameter based on movement detection, maintaining device simplicity while achieving high adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system achieves adaptability through parameter switching rather than structural changes. The controller modifies the control direction parameter based on movement direction, allowing a single fixed sensor configuration to adapt to different movement types. This approach maintains device simplicity while providing versatile functionality across forward and backward movements.

AI summary
A gyro unit mounted on a steered object for performing steering based on a steering signal received from the outside comprises a gyro sensor, a calculation portion and a controller. The calculation portion is configured to perform calculations for posture control of the steered object based on the steering signal and a detection signal of the gyro sensor. The controller is configured to perform control such that a control direction of the posture control switches when the steered object moves forward and backward.
