Abstract

PURPOSE: To make it possible to detect the minute acceleration highly accurately by forming an elastic body as a beam, which is dispersed and arranged at an equal interval between a movable electrode and a fixed outer surface part. CONSTITUTION: In a diaphragm 10 made of stainless steel, which is an elastic body, a circular movable electrode 1 facing a fixed electrode 2 and a fixed part 11, which is bonded to a spacer and a fixed base, are linked with four beams 8. A weight is bonded to the rear side of the electrode 1, and a fixed substrate is fixed to a fixed base through the spacer and the fixed part 11 with screws. An electronic part is mounted on the fixed substrate, and signal processing is performed. In this structure the change in capacitance becomes large even at a minute acceleration because the deflection of the beam 8 can be taken at a large value even if the outer diameter of the diaphragm 10 is not made large.

2. Description of the Related Art The structure shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is known as a capacitance type acceleration sensor applied to safety devices such as gas circuit breakers, airbags, and vehicle body control applications. A diaphragm 1 made of a disk-shaped elastic body as shown in FIG.
The shaded portion of the center of 0 is the movable electrode 1, which faces the fixed electrode 2 on the lower surface of the fixed substrate 3 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, a weight 4 is provided on the back side of the movable electrode 1.
Are joined. The outer peripheral portion 11 of the diaphragm 10 is
It is sandwiched between the fixed substrate 3 and the fixed base 5 via a spacer 6, and is fixed by tightening with a screw 7. A gas such as air having a constant dielectric constant or a liquid such as silicone oil enters the gap 20 formed by the spacer 6, and electrostatic capacitance is generated between the fixed electrode 2 and the movable electrode 1. The electrostatic capacitance is converted into a voltage by a signal processing circuit including an electronic circuit component 12 mounted on the fixed substrate 3 as shown in FIG. When acceleration energy is applied to the fixed base 3 or the entire device in the direction of the arrow 21 shown in FIG. 4 (b), the weight of the weight body 4 becomes an inertial force, and the force causes the elastic body forming the diaphragm 10 to move. The region 13 is deformed and the distance of the gap 20 is changed by x from l 0 to l 1 . At that time, the capacitance that is generated at the same time changes, and the acceleration is measured from the changed output voltage.

In the acceleration sensor shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the gap 20 when a constant acceleration is applied.
In order to keep the distance l 1 or the moving amount x of the movable electrode constant, the elastic body is formed as a disk-shaped diaphragm 10. However, the deformation area when acceleration is applied is only the annular area 13, and since the bending is small, the amount of change in capacitance accompanying it is also small. As a result, when the minute acceleration is detected, the weight body 4 is made heavier to increase the inertial force, or the slightly changed capacitance is measured. But light weight as the market demands,
For downsizing, the weight 4 is made heavy. In addition, to measure a slightly changed capacitance, the converted voltage must be amplified by a considerable factor, and the influence of noise and the influence of dispersion of the weight body are greatly involved, and it is put to practical use.

[Function] By using a beam as the deformable portion of the elastic body between the movable electrode to which the weight body is coupled on the back surface and the fixed portion on the outer periphery, the distance between the movable electrode and the fixed portion and the weight of the weight body are set. Is constant, the stress generated by the weight of the weight body is concentrated on the beam portion, so that the elastic body is largely bent. Furthermore, since the displacement amount of the elastic body due to the same acceleration can be easily calculated from the width and length of the beam, the sensor sensitivity can be controlled by the width of the beam portion. Further, by providing the beam with a portion that intersects the straight line passing through the center of the movable electrode at an angle, the length of the flexible portion of the beam can be adjusted, and the sensitivity can be further improved. In that case, in order to increase the length of the flexible portion of the beam, it is advantageous that the angle of the straight line passing through the center of the movable electrode is closer to a right angle.

It is a square of m, and the beam 8 is connected to the center of each side.
To increase the sensitivity of the acceleration sensor of FIGS. 1 and 2, increasing the length L of the beam 8 is the simplest method. But,
