如图1所示,MEMS陀螺仪,包括环形结构1、连接于环形结构1的第一耦合结构2、连接于第一耦合结构2的远离环形结构1端的质量块3、与质量块3相连的锚点4、连接于相邻的质量块3之间的第二耦合结构5及连接于环形结构1和质量块3的换能组件60, MEMS陀螺仪包括4N个绕环形结构1的中心等角度排布且尺寸相同的质量块3,N为大于等于2的整数,质量块3包括与第一耦合结构2相连且内部开设有收容槽33的主体30及连接于主体30且位于收容槽33内的弹性结构31,锚点4设置于收容槽33内且与弹性结构31相连。
质量块3之间通过第二耦合结构5关联,构成了线振动的音叉陀螺,参与角速度敏感,环形结构1和质量块3之间通过第一耦合结构2关联,且质量块3和锚点4之间通过弹性结构31相连,构成了与音叉陀螺相连的环形陀螺;并且,如图2,本方案的MEMS陀螺仪拥有两个振型相同的振动模态,第一个模态为沿0°/90°的振型,称为驱动模态;如图3,第二个模态为沿45°/135°的振型,称为检测模态。通过外部驱动力,驱动MEMS陀螺仪以驱动模态振型的振动,此时,当MEMS陀螺仪受到外界角速度ω,根据哥氏原理,角速度ω将产生沿45°/135°方向的哥氏力合力,而哥氏力合力会迫使MEMS陀螺仪产生以检测模态振型的振动,最终,通过检测MEMS陀螺仪沿45°/135°方向的振动位移,可获取角速度ω大小。
本方案中环形结构1构成的环形陀螺和质量块3构成的音叉陀螺采用共形的驱动模态与检测模态,因而,线振动音叉陀螺驱动模态与检测模态的运动解耦,可以降低非运动质量块3的位移,降低正交误差,有利于传感器的偏置稳定性;运动质量块3导向呈现单方向位移,且非运动质量块3基本无位移,利于音叉陀螺的位移检测;质量块3布置于环形陀螺原本闲置的区域,且替换环形陀螺小位移的振动区域,由于线振动音叉陀螺平动的特点,质量块3同时拥有大位移,所以,MEMS陀螺仪的驱动模态与检测模态拥有更大的模态质量,可以降低MEMS谐振器的机械噪声,有利于传感器的偏置稳定性;质量块3间构成了线振动音叉陀螺,参与角速度敏感,因此,新方案的拥有更大的哥氏力,极大提升了芯片的面积使用率,增加了传感器的灵敏度;结合图5,环形陀螺和音叉陀螺通过若干质量与环形结构1间关联耦合梁51关联,形成多级耦合的驱动模态与检测模态,驱动模态质量Md以及检测模态质量Ms可以表示为:
,因此,本方案的陀螺仪具有更大的模态质量,检测模态的MEMS机械噪声等效角速度可以表示为:
,因此,本方案的陀螺仪具有小的噪声输出,这样,增强传感器的最大位移,提升了哥氏力大小,提升了陀螺灵敏度,进一步有利于传感器的偏置稳定性。

实施例2:
如图7所示,与实施例1的不同点在于,本实施例中N取3,即质量块3具有12块,此时MEMS陀螺仪的振动模态为图8所示,检测模态如图9所示。在一些实施例中,N可以取4、5、6等等,从而使质量块的数量达到16、20、24块等等。
以上所述的仅是本发明的实施方式,在此应当指出,对于本领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本发明创造构思的前提下,还可以做出改进,但这些均属于本发明的保护范围。
