Background
Microelectromechanical (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems), MEMS for short, gyroscopes are a common sensor element in microelectromechanical systems, which have been subject to development and evolution for nearly half a century since being proposed. Along with the gradual expansion of the application range, the gyroscope is widely applied to the fields of consumer electronics, automotive electronics, aerospace and the like, and the MEMS technology has the advantages of small volume, low power consumption, mass production and the like, so that more and more people are focusing on the inertial sensor chip of the micro-electromechanical system.
The capacitive micromechanical gyroscope is a miniature inertial sensor for measuring angular velocity, and the working principle is that coriolis force is utilized to detect angular velocity, namely, when a mechanical structure in back and forth movement is subjected to external angular velocity, coriolis acceleration is generated due to coriolis effect, the relationship between the coriolis acceleration and the angular velocity and the vibration linear velocity meets the right-hand rule, namely, coriolis force corresponding to the coriolis acceleration causes corresponding displacement of a movable mass block, so that the distance between capacitance plates is changed, and a signal processing circuit obtains the value of the corresponding angular velocity by sensing the change of capacitance. The device has the outstanding advantages of small volume, light weight, low power consumption, low cost, easy realization of mass production and the like, and is widely applied to the field of army and civil engineering.
A typical microelectromechanical tri-axis gyroscope structure typically has multiple movable masses for detecting the Z-axis angle, but there are different frequencies of motion between the movable masses for detecting the Z-axis angular velocity, which increases the detection error.

Specifically, in the case where no angular velocity is input in the present application, the distance between the third movable electrode 4163 and the third fixed electrode 4162 on both sides thereof is equal, and at this time, the capacitance values of the first detection capacitance and the second detection capacitance are equal. Under the condition that the angular velocity input around the third axial direction Z is received, the first inner mass block 4120 performs vibration motion along the first axial direction X, the third movable electrode 4163 also performs vibration motion along the first axial direction X, the distance between the third movable electrode 4163 and the third fixed electrodes 4162 on the two sides of the third movable electrode 4163 is changed equally, the capacitance values of the first detection capacitor and the second detection capacitor are changed, the capacitance value change amounts of the first detection capacitor and the second detection capacitor are consistent but opposite in direction, differential output is formed, the difference value between the capacitance values of the first detection capacitor and the second detection capacitor is utilized, and the voltage output signal can be converted into a voltage output signal through an integrated circuit, and the voltage output signal is in proportional relation with the angular velocity around the third axial direction Z, so that the corresponding angular velocity is calculated.

In the present embodiment, the second inner mass 4220 has an "i" shape structure, and a pair of fourth anchor points 4240 are respectively disposed at least partially at the grooves on both sides of the second inner mass 4220 with respect to the second axis Y, and the fourth anchor points 4240 are connected to the second inner mass 4220 through fourth sub-elastic beams 4250 extending in the second axis Y direction.

In the absence of angular velocity input, the second outer mass 4210 is driven by the second drive frame 1200 via the second spring beams 1072 to make a vibratory motion in the second axial Y direction, the second outer mass 4210 being relatively stationary. Since the vibration direction of the second driving frame 1200 is opposite to that of the first driving frame 1100, the vibration direction of the second outer mass 4210 is opposite to that of the first outer mass 4110. In the case where the present application receives an angular velocity input about the third axial direction Z, the second outer mass 4210 performs a vibration motion in the first axial direction X due to the coriolis effect, and is transmitted to the second inner mass 4220 through the third sub-elastic beam 4230 so as to perform a vibration motion in the first axial direction X therewith. The vibration direction of the second outer mass 4210 and the second inner mass 4220 is opposite to the vibration direction of the first outer mass 4110 and the first inner mass 4120.
In this embodiment, a pair of second inner hollow grooves 4221 symmetrical about the first axial direction X are disposed on the second inner mass block 4220, a second detection unit 4260 is disposed in the second inner hollow groove 4221, the second detection unit 4260 includes a plurality of fourth fixed electrodes 4262 sequentially arranged at intervals along the first axial direction X, and fourth movable electrodes 4263 disposed between adjacent fourth fixed electrodes 4262, the fourth fixed electrodes 4262 are fixedly connected with the substrate through fourth sub-anchor points 4261 disposed in the second inner hollow groove 4221, and the fourth movable electrodes 4263 are connected with the second inner mass block 4220.

Under the condition that the angular velocity input around the third axial direction Z is received, the second inner mass 4220 performs vibration motion along the first axial direction X, the fourth movable electrode 4263 also performs vibration motion along the first axial direction X, the distance between the fourth movable electrode 4263 and the fourth fixed electrodes 4262 on two sides of the fourth movable electrode 4263 is changed equally, the capacitance values of the third detection capacitor and the fourth detection capacitor are changed, the capacitance value change amounts of the third detection capacitor and the fourth detection capacitor are consistent but opposite in direction, differential output is formed, the difference value between the capacitance values of the third detection capacitor and the fourth detection capacitor is utilized, and the differential output can be converted into a voltage output signal through an integrated circuit, and the voltage output signal is in proportional relation with the angular velocity around the third axial direction Z, so that the corresponding angular velocity is calculated.
The output signals of the first detection unit 4160 and the second detection unit 4260 about the angular velocity around the third axis Z are combined and output, so that the magnitude of the output signal is increased, the sensitivity is improved, and the signal to noise ratio is also improved. And the symmetrical arrangement with respect to the first detecting unit 4160 and the second detecting unit 4260 can eliminate the influence of the acceleration in the first axial X direction on the detection result and the influence of the torsion in the first plane of the mass blocks in both sides on the detection result.
In the present embodiment, the first sub elastic beam 4130 and the third sub elastic beam 4230 have a "n" -shaped beam structure. In other embodiments, the first sub-elastic beam 4130 and the third sub-elastic beam 4230 are beam structures formed by combining a pair of "several" shaped beams symmetrical about the second axis Y, which are not particularly limited herein.
Further, the first sub-beams 4130 on both sides of the first inner mass 4120 are rotationally symmetric about the first inner mass 4120 geometric center 180 ° and the second sub-beams 4150 on both sides of the second inner mass 4220 are rotationally symmetric about the second inner mass 4220 geometric center 180 °.
Further, both ends of the first, second, third and fourth sub-elastic beams 4130, 4150, 4230 and 4250 in the extending direction of the sub-elastic beams have stress release holes penetrating in the thickness direction of the substrate to avoid deviation of output signals caused by transmission of stress to the first and second detection units 4160 and 4260 through the elastic beams.
Further, the elastic directions of the first elastic beam 1071 and the second elastic beam 1072 extend along the first axial direction X, so that vibration of the outer mass block along the first axial direction X is prevented from being transmitted to the driving frame under the condition that angular speed input around the third axial direction Z is received, and quadrature errors are reduced.
The third detection component 40 responding to the angular velocity around the third axial direction Z adopts the technical scheme that the outer mass block and the inner mass block are connected through the elastic beam with the same elastic direction as the vibration direction of the driving frame, so that the vibration of the outer mass block is prevented from being transmitted to the inner mass block to generate error output signals under the condition of no angular velocity input. The first detecting assembly 20, the second detecting assembly 30 and the third detecting assembly 40 in the present application are independent from each other, and are connected to the driving frame through coupling beams or elastic beams, respectively, that is, the mass blocks for detecting the first axial direction X, the second axial direction Y and the third axial direction Z are separated from each other and independent from each other, so as to reduce inter-axis interference between the respective detecting axes.
Because the vibration frequencies of the first outer mass 4110 and the second outer mass 4210 in the conventional art may be different due to manufacturing process variations, the present application connects the first outer mass 4110 and the second outer mass 4210 to have the same vibration frequency through the connection assembly.
Referring to fig. 1 and 4, fig. 4 shows a schematic structural diagram of a connection assembly in the present application, and the microelectromechanical tri-axial gyroscope of the present application further includes a pair of connection assemblies symmetrical about the first axial direction X, where the pair of connection assemblies are disposed on two sides of the driving assembly about the first axial direction X, and between the first detecting portion 410 and the second detecting portion 420.
Specifically, the connection assembly includes a connection beam 110, a fourth elastic beam 108, wherein the connection beam includes a pair of sub-beams 1101 symmetrical about the second axis Y, and a connection spring 1102 connecting the sub-beams 1101.
The elastic directions of the fourth elastic beam 108 and the connecting spring 1102 extend along the first axial direction X, and the sub beam 1101 extends along the first axial direction X, so that the connecting beam 110 and the fourth elastic beam 108 have rigidity in the second axial direction Y, the first outer mass 4110 and the second outer mass 4210 at two ends of the connecting assembly can move reversely at the same frequency when vibrating along the second axial direction Y, and output signals caused by different frequencies of the outer mass movements at two sides are prevented from generating errors, the reliability of the application is enhanced, and the detection precision is improved.
When receiving an angular velocity input about the third axial direction Z, the first detection portion 410 and the second detection portion 420 vibrate reversely in the first axial direction X. When the first detecting portion 410 moves in the first axial direction X negative direction and the second detecting portion 420 moves in the first axial direction X positive direction, since the fourth elastic beam 108 has a rigidity in the first axial direction X that is greater than the rigidities of the first and second elastic beams 1071 and 1072 in the first axial direction X, the first outer mass 4110 of the first detecting portion 410 moves in the first axial direction X negative direction by pulling the connection Liang Ziliang 1101 of the side through the fourth elastic beam 108, and the second outer mass 4210 of the second detecting portion 420 moves in the first axial direction X positive direction by pulling the connection Liang Ziliang 1101 of the side through the fourth elastic beam 108. Considering that if the rigidity of the connection beam is too great, the movement range of the two outer masses is limited, at least one connection spring 1102 is disposed between the two sub-beams 1101, so that when the first detection portion 410 moves in the first axial direction X negative direction and the second detection portion 420 moves in the first axial direction X positive direction, the two sub-beams 1101 can move in the second axial direction Y negative direction with the connection spring 1102 as a bending point to release the outward tension of the two detection portions; when the first detecting portion 410 moves in the first axial direction X positive direction and the second detecting portion 420 moves in the first axial direction X negative direction, the two sub beams 1101 can move in the second axial direction Y positive direction with the connecting spring 1102 as a bending point to release the force of inward pressing of the two detecting portions.
Further, by providing the fourth elastic beam 108 with a rigidity in the first axial direction X that is greater than the rigidity of the first and second elastic beams 1071 and 1072 in the first axial direction X, it is also possible to avoid transmission of vibrations of the first and second outer masses 4110 and 4210 in the first axial direction X to the first and second drive frames 1100 and 1200 through the first and second elastic beams 1071 and 1072, thereby reducing a coupling error between a drive mode without angular velocity input and a detection mode with angular velocity input.
Preferably, a fifth elastic beam 109 having an elastic direction extending along the second axial direction Y may be further disposed at the end of the pair of sub-beams 1101 away from each other, so as to provide a larger movable space for the connection beam 110 in the second axial direction Y, and increase the movable ranges of the first and second detection portions 410 and 420, thereby increasing the range of the gyroscope. Specifically, one end of the fifth elastic beam 109 is connected to the sub beam 1101 of the connection beam 110, and the other end is fixedly connected to the substrate through the anchor 101. The fifth elastic beam 109 is connected to the driving frame (the first driving frame 1100 or the second driving frame 1200) via the sub beam 1101, the fourth elastic beam 108, the outer mass (the first outer mass 4110 or the second outer mass 4210) and the elastic beam (the first elastic beam 1071 or the second elastic beam 1072) of the connecting beam 110 in this order, and the first elastic beam 1071 or the second elastic beam 1072 extending in the elastic direction along the first axial direction X filters the vibration of the outer mass in the first axial direction X, and the driving frame (the first driving frame 1100 or the second driving frame 1200) is also connected to the anchor 101 through the driving elastic beams 102 at both ends of the second axial direction Y thereof, and therefore, the fifth elastic beam 109 and the driving elastic beam 102 can also determine the driving frequency of the driving frame in the second axial direction Y together, so that the detection frequency of the first detection portion 410, the second detection portion 420 is more matched to the driving frequency of the driving frame.
In the present embodiment, the first detecting portion 410 and the second detecting portion 420 are disposed on both sides of the driving assembly about the second axis Y, respectively, and the connecting assembly is disposed on both sides of the first axis X and connects the first detecting portion 410 and the second detecting portion 420. In other embodiments, the first detecting portion 410 and the second detecting portion 420 may be disposed on two sides (i.e., upper and lower sides in the drawing) of the driving assembly with respect to the first axial direction X, and the connecting assembly is disposed on two sides with respect to the second axial direction Y and connects the first detecting portion 410 and the second detecting portion 420, which is not particularly limited herein.
Further, the fourth elastic beam 108 and the fifth elastic beam 109 are of a "several" beam structure, the fourth elastic beam 108 at both ends of the connection beam 110 is symmetrical about the second axis Y, and the fifth elastic beam 109 at both ends of the connection beam 110 is symmetrical about the second axis Y.
Further, stress release holes penetrating along the thickness direction of the substrate are formed at both ends of the fourth elastic beam 108 and the fifth elastic beam 109, so as to reduce stress transmission between components, and further avoid signal deviation caused by stress torsion.
