Product Composition

The product mainly consists of three 50-type laser gyros, three quartz flexible accelerometers, a gyro control board, an IF conversion module, a navigation computer, a power board, a housing, and shock absorbers. The main components are introduced as follows:

(1) Three-axis Laser Gyro
In each inertial sensing assembly, the three laser gyros are designed in an integrated manner and are orthogonal to each other. Based on the optical Sagnac effect, they are sensitive to the inertial angular motion of the carrier.

(2) Accelerometer Assembly
Each inertial sensing assembly contains three quartz flexible accelerometers that are orthogonal to each other and are used to sense the linear acceleration information of the carrier.

(3) Gyro Control Board
The gyro control board is responsible for powering the resonant cavities of the three-axis laser gyros. It also controls the high voltage, jitter, frequency stabilization, and locking of the laser gyros.

(4) IF Conversion Module
The IF conversion module converts the analog current signals output by the accelerometer into digital pulse frequency signals, ensuring that the inertial information sensed by the inertial measurement is output in digital form.

(5) Navigation Computer
The navigation computer receives data from the gyros, accelerometers, and external GPS to perform combined navigation calculations and outputs navigation information such as position, velocity, and attitude.

(6) Power Board
The power board is mainly used to convert the input DC voltage into various voltages required by the inertial measurement unit for use by different control modules (high voltage, ignition, jitter, and frequency stabilization).

(7) Housing and Shock Absorbers
The housing primarily serves as a support, fixation, and sealing structure. The shock absorbers are responsible for connecting the main body to the outside, isolating the interference from external vibration impacts on the inertial navigation assembly, and also isolating the vibration generated by the inertial navigation assembly from interfering with external equipment.
