IMU mechanism and unmanned aerial vehicle
Technical Field

Background
An IMU (Inertial measurement unit) is a device that measures the three-axis attitude angle (or angular velocity) and acceleration of an object. And the attitude displacement can be precisely adjusted by calculating the attitude data measured by the IMU.
The IMU is mainly applied to equipment needing motion control, such as automobiles and robots, and is also applied to occasions needing precise displacement calculation by using postures, such as inertial navigation equipment of submarines, airplanes, missiles and spacecrafts.
The IMU is susceptible to deviation of measured data due to external vibration, and therefore, the IMU needs to be subjected to a shock absorption operation. The existing IMU shock absorption modes mainly comprise two modes, one mode is that the IMU is buffered and damped through the cladding of soft materials, and the other mode is that a shock absorption ball is additionally arranged on a support of the IMU to realize shock absorption. The former damping method is liable to affect the normal operation of the IMU due to interference with the IMU. The latter damping mode occupies a large space.
Use unmanned aerial vehicle as an example, when unmanned aerial vehicle's motor was high-speed rotatory, the vibrations of motor transmitted unmanned aerial vehicle's IMU, directly influenced unmanned aerial vehicle's posture adjustment. If the soft material is coated outside the IMU of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the IMU cannot work normally when the IMU interferes with the soft material.
