연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

초록

The mechanism of the present invention maneuvers a vehicle by deflecting the flow from a propulsor of the vehicle. The mechanism has an elastomeric nozzle that encases the flow and is deflected via an articulation device mountable inside the vehicle. The nozzle is shaped and supported by spiral-wound composite to maintain a circular cross-section through a range of motion. An end of the nozzle is attached to the shroud of the propulsor and another end is supported by a ring with support struts radiating from a hub. The hub is supported by a shaft attached to a gimbal. The gimbal is constrained in movement by an outer race and an anti-rotation stud in a radial slot in a ball of the gimbal. A linkage as part of an articulation device controls rotation of the gimbal to direct movement of the shaft and enclosed nozzle thereby deflecting flow of the propulsor.

What is claimed is: 1. A mechanism for controlling motion of a vehicle, said mechanism comprising: a first linkage and a second linkage; a first rod bearing and a second rod bearing, each of said rod bearings respectively connected radially to said first and second linkages; a first rod and a second rod, each rod having a first end and a second end, the first end of each rod pivotally connected respectively to said first and second rod bearings; a gimbal bearing having an exterior capable of being positioned within the vehicle and having a face to said first and second rods with said face including a first rod bearing and a second rod bearing in which the second end of each of said rods is pivotally connected respectively within said first and second rod bearings of said gimbal; a shaft having a first end and a second end, said first end affixed to said gimbal bearing opposite to said face; a hub encompassing a second end of said shaft; a plurality of spaced-apart struts, each strut having a first end and a second end, said struts extending outward from said hub at the first end of each of said struts; an elastomeric nozzle capable of encasing a propulsor flow of the vehicle with an inlet end capable of connection to a propulsor shroud of the vehicle and said nozzle further including an outlet end; an annular ring having an interior connected to the second end of each of said struts with a first side of the interior facing an interior of said outlet end of said nozzle and opposite side of the interior of said ring facing rearward as a discharge for the propulsor flow, said annular ring having an exterior attached to said outlet of said nozzle; and wherein movement of said first and second linkages radially controls movement of said first and second rod bearings to pivotally move said first and second rods thereby impacting said first and second rod bearings of said gimbal for a movement of said gimbal with said hub, said elastomeric nozzle and said annular ring in a shared plane with the movement of said gimbal to provide thrust vectoring by rotating the propulsor flow rearward at an angle of the shared plane to a desired motion of the vehicle thereby controlling an actual motion of the vehicle. 2. The mechanism in accordance with claim 1 wherein the second end of each of said rods are rotatationally connected within said first and second rod bearings of said gimbal at a distance 90 degrees circumferentially to each other on said face. 3. The mechanism in accordance with claim 2 wherein said nozzle is fabricated from Navy red rubber and is supported by spiral-wound fiberglass-based composite wherein said nozzle is capable of maintaining a circular cross section through a range of motion. 4. The mechanism in accordance with claim 3 wherein said exterior of said gimbal bearing is an outer race movable on a bearing section of said gimbal bearing wherein said outer race is capable of constraint to rotation in a first axis by positioning of said gimbal bearing within the vehicle. 5. The mechanism in accordance with claim 4 wherein said gimbal bearing further comprises a radial pathway with a direction parallel to said shaft and wherein said mechanism further comprises a stud attachable with the vehicle, said stud positioned within said radial pathway to constrain the rotation of said gimbal bearing on a second axis about a center of said gimbal bearing in a plurality of planes that contain a centerline of the vehicle. 6. The mechanism in accordance with claim 5 wherein the plurality of planes are within a range of 25 degrees above the centerline of the vehicle to 25 degrees below the centerline of the vehicle. 7. The mechanism in accordance with claim 6 wherein a combination of movement on the first axis and the second axis constrains rotation of said gimbal within a volume contour of a cone with an included angle from the centerline of the cone to the surface of the cone being 25 degrees. 8. The mechanism in accordance with claim 7, said mechanism further comprising a first electric actuator and a second electric actuator mechanically attached to said first and second linkages wherein said first and second electric actuators respectively operationally control said first and second linkages. 9. The mechanism in accordance with claim 8 said mechanism further comprising a first clevis and second clevis, each of said actuators pivotally connected respectively with a U-shape of a yoke of each of the clevis with an opposite end of the yoke of each of the clevis radially connects respectively with said first and second linkages. 10. The mechanism in accordance with claim 9 said mechanism further comprising a sealed bulkhead encompassing a section of said first and second linkages wherein said clevis and actuators are isolated from an environment exterior to the vehicle when said sealed bulkhead is positioned within the vehicle. 11. The mechanism in accordance with claim 2 wherein said exterior of said gimbal bearing is an outer race movable on a bearing section of said gimbal bearing wherein said outer race is capable of constraint to rotation in a first axis by positioning of said gimbal bearing within the vehicle. 12. The mechanism in accordance with claim 11 wherein said gimbal bearing further comprises a radial pathway with a direction parallel to said shaft and wherein said mechanism further comprises a stud attachable with the vehicle, said stud positioned within said radial pathway to constrain the rotation of said gimbal bearing on a second axis about a center of said gimbal bearing in a plurality of planes that contain a centerline of the vehicle. 13. The mechanism in accordance with claim 12 wherein the plurality of planes are within a range of 25 degrees above the centerline of the vehicle to 25 degrees below the centerline of the vehicle. 14. The mechanism in accordance with claim 13 wherein a combination of movement on the first axis and the second axis constrains rotation of said gimbal within a volume contour of a cone with an included angle from the centerline of the cone to the surface of the cone being 25 degrees. 15. The mechanism in accordance with claim 14 said mechanism further comprising a first electric actuator and a second electric actuator wherein said first and second electric actuators operationally control said first and second linkages respectively. 16. The mechanism in accordance with claim 15 said mechanism further comprising a first clevis and second clevis, each of said actuators pivotally connected respectively with a U-shape of a yoke of each of the clevis with an opposite end of the yoke of each of the clevis radially connects respectively with said first and second linkages. 17. The mechanism in accordance with claim 16 said mechanism further comprising a sealed bulkhead encompassing a section of said first and second linkages wherein said clevis and actuators are isolated from an environment exterior to the vehicle when said sealed bulkhead is positioned within the vehicle.
