The triaxial MEMS gyroscope also comprises a driving capacitor, an X-axis detection capacitor, a Y-axis detection capacitor and a Z-axis detection capacitor, which are shown in the attached figure 1 of the specification.
In the invention, all the capacitors are composed of a movable part and a detection part; the driving capacitor (including the first driving capacitor and the second driving capacitor), the driving detection capacitor (including the first driving detection capacitor and the second driving detection capacitor), the movable part and the detection part of the Z-axis detection capacitor (including the first Z-axis detection capacitor and the second Z-axis detection capacitor), and the four mass blocks are located on the same plane and are made of the same layer of material.
The movable part of the X-axis detection capacitor (comprising a first X-axis detection capacitor and a second X-axis detection capacitor) and the movable part of the Y-axis detection capacitor (comprising a first Y-axis detection capacitor and a second Y-axis detection capacitor) are formed by the four mass blocks, and the detection part is formed by patterning another layer of material which is positioned at a distance of 1-3um from the material layer where the four mass blocks are positioned.
The three-axis MEMS gyroscope comprises 14 electrodes, which are respectively 51-514; all electrodes are stationary and form 14 capacitances with the movable parts of the gyroscope. The 14 capacitors can be divided into 10 groups, namely a first driving capacitor and a second driving capacitor, a first driving detection capacitor and a second driving detection capacitor, a first X-axis detection capacitor and a second X-axis detection capacitor, a first Y-axis detection capacitor, a second Y-axis detection capacitor, a first Z-axis detection capacitor and a second Z-axis detection capacitor.

The drive detection capacitor may be provided in the YZ axis detection unit in bilateral symmetry.
As shown in fig. 2 of the specification, when the triaxial MEMS gyroscope is driven by the driving capacitor, an alternating electrostatic force is generated when alternating voltages with opposite directions are applied to two ends of the first driving capacitor and the second driving capacitor, so that the first mass block 10 and the second mass block 20 can reciprocate along the Y axis. Meanwhile, since the third and fourth masses 30 and 40 are connected to the first and second masses 10 and 20, respectively, through connection beams, they transmit their motion to the past, resulting in the reciprocating motion of the third and fourth masses 30 and 40 along the X-axis. In order to accurately control the driving amplitude, the invention structurally needs a first driving detection capacitor and a second driving detection capacitor to calibrate the driving amplitude.
When the triaxial MEMS gyroscope detects the X axis, the X axis is shown in the figure 3 of the specification; when the angular velocity of the X axis is input, the first mass block 10 and the second mass block 20 which do reciprocating motion along the Y axis can receive the Coriolis force along the Z axis direction; therefore, the first mass block 10 and the second mass block 20 do reciprocating motion along the Z axis, the periodic variation of the first X axis detection capacitance and the second X axis detection capacitance is realized, the variation of the two capacitances can be detected through a subsequent circuit, and the magnitude of the input X axis angular velocity can be obtained.
When the three-axis MEMS gyroscope detects the Y axis, the Y axis is shown in figure 4 of the specification; when the Y-axis angular velocity is input, the third mass block 30 and the fourth mass block 40 of the mass block which do reciprocating motion along the X-axis can receive the Coriolis force along the Z-axis direction, so that the third mass block 30 and the fourth mass block 40 of the mass block do reciprocating motion along the Z-axis, the first Y-axis detection capacitor and the second Y-axis detection capacitor corresponding to the first mass block 30 and the fourth mass block can generate periodic variation, and the subsequent circuit can detect the variation of the two capacitors, so that the magnitude of the input Y-axis angular velocity can be known.
When the triaxial MEMS gyroscope detects the Z axis, the Z axis is detected as shown in the figure 5 of the specification; when the angular velocity of the Z axis is input, the third mass block 30 and the fourth mass block 40 of the mass block which do reciprocating motion along the X axis can receive the Coriolis force along the Y axis direction, so that the third mass block 30 and the fourth mass block 40 of the mass block do reciprocating motion along the Y axis, the first Z axis detection capacitance and the second Z axis detection capacitance corresponding to the first mass block 30 and the fourth mass block can generate periodic variation, and the subsequent circuit can detect the variation of the two capacitances to know the magnitude of the angular velocity of the input Z axis.
According to the triaxial MEMS gyroscope provided by the invention, the mass blocks of the two shafts are connected, so that the driving of the two shafts can be realized only by one set of driving capacitor (the first driving capacitor and the second driving capacitor) and one set of driving detection capacitor (the first driving detection capacitor and the second driving detection capacitor). This saves two sets of drive capacitors and two sets of drive sense capacitors compared to a conventional discrete mass tri-axis gyroscope. The triaxial MEMS gyroscope shares the detection mass blocks of the X axis and the Z axis, improves the utilization efficiency of the mass and improves the sensitivity, thereby saving the area of the gyroscope and reducing the cost.
