Description

振动传感器以及麦克风 技术领域
本说明书涉及传感器领域,尤其涉及一种振动传感器以及麦克风。
背景技术
现有技术中,加速度计、扬声器、陀螺仪、能量采集器、骨导麦克风以及气导麦克风等振动传感器中广泛采用振膜和质量块结构或悬臂梁和质量块结构。比如,麦克风采用振动传感器中的振膜和质量块结构或悬臂梁和质量块结构接收外界振动激励,并将振动激励转换为电信号,通过后端电路处理后输出电信号,从而进行声音信号的采集。气传导麦克风可以采集用户在发出声音时引起的空气振动,并将空气振动转化为电信号。骨传导麦克风可以采集用户在说话时引起的骨骼和皮肤的机械振动,并将机械振动转化为电信号。更高的灵敏度以及对振动激励更宽的频率响应范围一直是振动传感器追求的目标。但是由于振动系统的特性,谐振峰后的灵敏度会急剧衰减,且谐振频率越高,灵敏度一般会越低,从而导致单谐振峰振动传感器难以兼顾高灵敏度和宽频带两种特性。同时,单一的谐振峰往往不能满足需求。现有技术中的多谐振峰振动传感器结构复杂,加工难度高,从而导致成本较高且精度较低。
因此,需要提供一种频率响应范围更宽、灵敏度更高且结构简单的振动传感器以及麦克风。

以下描述提供了本说明书的特定应用场景和要求,目的是使本领域技术人员能够制造和使用本说明书中的内容。对于本领域技术人员来说,对所公开的实施例的各种局部修改是显而易见的,并且在不脱离本说明书的精神和范围的情况下,可以将这里定义的一般原理应用于其他实施例和应用。因此,本说明书不限于所示的实施例,而是与权利要求一致的最宽范围。
这里使用的术语仅用于描述特定示例实施例的目的,而不是限制性的。比如,除非上下文另有明确说明,这里所使用的,单数形式“一”,“一个”和“该”也可以包括复数形式。当在本说明书中使用时,术语“包括”、“包含”和/或“含有”意思是指所关联的整数,步骤、操作、元素和/或组件存在,但不排除一个或多个其他特征、整数、步骤、操作、元素、组件和/或组的存在或在该系统/方法中可以添加其他特征、整数、步骤、操作、元素、组件和/或组。
考虑到以下描述,本说明书的这些特征和其他特征、以及结构的相关元件的操作和功能、以及部件的组合和制造的经济性可以得到明显提高。参考附图,所有这些形成本说明书的一部分。然而,应该清楚地理解,附图仅用于说明和描述的目的,并不旨在限制本说明书的范围。还应理解,附图未按比例绘制。
需要理解的是,为了便于对本说明书的描述,术语“中心”、“上表面”、“下表面”、“上”、“下”、“顶”、“底”、“内”、“外”、“轴向”、“径向”、“外周”、“外部”等指示的位置关系为基于附图所示的位置关系,而不是指示所指的装 置、组件或单元必须具有特定的位置关系,不能理解为是对本说明书的限制。
应当理解,本文使用的“系统”、“装置”、“单元”和/或“模组”是用于区分不同级别的不同组件、元件、部件、部分或装配的一种方法。然而,如果其他词语可实现相同的目的,则可通过其他表达来替换所述词语。

为了便于理解,本说明书首先对以下描述中将要出现的术语进行如下解释:
灵敏度:输出信号与输入信号的比值,对于振动传感器来说,输入信号可以是外界的振动激励,输出信号可以是响应于振动激励生成的电信号,振动传感器的灵敏度是指输出的电信号与输入的振动激励的比值,其中输出的电信号可以转换为振动信号的幅值,因此振动传感器的灵敏度也可以理解为输出的振动信号幅值与输入的振动激励的幅值的比值。当输出信号与输入信号的量纲相同时,灵敏度可以理解为对输入信号的放大倍数。灵敏度越高,说明振动传感器对微小的振动激励的采集性能越好。
谐振:又称“共振”,振动系统在周期性外界振动激励的作用下,当外界振动激励的频率与系统固有振动频率相同或很接近时,系统振幅急剧增大的现象。产生谐振时的频率称为“谐振频率”。
谐振峰:谐振频率的峰值。

在一些实施例中,腔体220可以是一个整体。在一些实施例中,腔体220可以包括多个间隔的子腔体。为了方便描述,图1至图5所示出的腔体220为一个整体。本领域技术人员应当明白,腔体220包括多个间隔的子腔体也在本说明书的保护范围内。
腔体220在第一方向221上的尺寸可以沿第二方向变化。即腔体220在第一方向221上的尺寸随着其在第二方向222上的位置变化而变化。也 就是说,腔体220在第二方向222上的不同位置,对应的第一方向221上的尺寸是不同的。所述第一方向221和所述第二方向222不是相同的方向。即所述第一方向221和所述第二方向222呈一定的夹角。所述夹角可以是锐角,也可以是直角,还可以是钝角。在一些实施例中,所述第一方向221与所述第二方向222垂直设置。腔体220的截面形状可以为满足上述条件的任意形状,比如圆形、椭圆形、四边形、五边形、六边形、七边形、八边形,甚至可以是不规则形状,比如变曲率的曲线形状,等等。不同形状的腔体220,其对应的第一方向221和第二方向222可以是不同的。在一些实施例中,腔体220的截面形状可以是四边形,比如,正方形,所述第一方向221可以是正方形的其中一条对角线的方向,所述第二方向222可以是正方向的另一条对角线的方向。在一些实施例中,腔体220的截面形状可以是长方形,所述第一方向221可以是与长方形的长或宽呈锐角的方向,所述第二方向222可以是与第一方向垂直设置的方向。在一些实施例中,腔体220的截面可以是平行四边形,所述第一方向221可以是与平行四边形的一条边呈锐角的方向,所述第二方向222可以是与所述第一方向垂直设置的方向。在一些实施例中,腔体220的截面可以是梯形,比如等腰梯形,所述第二方向222可以是等腰梯形的高度方向,所述第一方向221可以是与所述第二方向222垂直设置的方向。在一些实施例中,所述第二方向222也可以是与等腰梯形的高度方向呈锐角的方向,所述第一方向221可以是与所述第二方向222垂直设置的方向。在一些实施例中,腔体220的截面还可以是直角梯形,所述第二方向222可以是直角梯形的高度方向,所述第一方向221可以是与所述第二方向222垂直设置的方向。在一些实施例中,腔体220的截面还可以是其他四边形,比如等腰梯形和直角梯形之外的其他形状的梯形,再比如,菱形,不规则四边形,等等。在一些实施例中,腔体220的截面可以是圆形,所述第一方向221可以是任意一条直径的方向,所述第二方向222可以是与所述第一方向221垂直设置的方 向。在一些实施例中,腔体220的截面可以是椭圆形,所述第一方向221可以是椭圆的长轴方向或短轴方向,所述第二方向222可以是与所述第一方向垂直设置的方向。
图1至图5所示的腔体220的截面为等腰梯形,其中,第二方向222为等腰梯形的高度方向,第一方向221与第二方向222垂直设置。其中,腔体220在第二方向222上的不同位置,其对应的第一方向221上的尺寸是不同的。本领域技术人员应当明白,腔体220为满足上述条件的其他形状也在本说明书的保护范围内。
腔体220的边缘可以是直线、曲线、锯齿状等。在一些实施例中,腔体220边缘可以是直线。腔体220的尺寸大小可以基于振动传感器001的应用场景以及对振动激励的需求进行设计。比如,振动传感器001用作加速度计和用作气传导麦克风时,腔体220的尺寸可能是不同的。在一些实施例中,腔体220的尺寸可能与振动梁400的尺寸有关,我们将在后面的描述中详细介绍。
如图1至图5所示,振动传感器001可以包括多个振动梁400。振动梁400可以与基座200连接,并响应于外界的振动激励产生形变,并将所述形变转换为振动信号。在一些实施例中,所述振动信号可以是电信号。所述振动激励可以是直接作用在振动梁400上的空气振动激励,也可以是作用在基座200上的机械振动激励。振动梁400可以是任意形状的板状结构体。比如,其形状可以矩形梁,也可以是梯形梁、L形梁或其它形状,比如曲线形,等等。多个振动梁400可以沿所述第二方向222依次排列在基座200上。在一些实施例中,振动梁400可以是固支梁,即振动梁400的两端可以与基座200连接,而中间部位可以悬空于腔体220上。具体地,每个振动梁400可以包括固定端420和移动端440。在一些实施例中,每个振动梁400还可以包括配重块460。
固定端420可以位于振动梁400的两端。固定端420可以沿所述第一方向221与基座200连接。即固定端420的两端可以沿第一方向221分布。为了方便描述,我们将固定端420的两端分布的方向定义为振动梁400的长度方向,或轴向方向。固定端420与基座200之间的连接可以是任意连接方式,比如焊接、铆接、卡接、螺栓等固定连接方式,或者通过物理沉积(例如,物理气相沉积)或者化学沉积(例如,化学气相沉积)等沉积的连接。固定端420与基座200可以是绝缘连接,比如,固定端420通过绝缘层与基座200连接。固定端420的材料可以是Si、SiO2、SiNx等。
在一些实施例中,固定端420可以与基座200的上表面、下表面或腔体220的内壁固定连接。图1至图5所示的示意图中,以固定端420与基座200的上表面连接为例进行描述。本领域技术人员应当明白,固定端420与基座200的其他位置连接也在本说明书的保护范围内。
移动端440可以与固定端420连接,并位于固定端420之间,悬空于腔体220中。所述“悬空于所述腔体220中”可以表示悬空设置于基座200的腔体220的内部、下方或者上方,不与基座200接触。为了方便展示,如图1至图5所示,仅作为示例性说明,移动端440可以悬空于腔体220的上方。
移动端420可以响应于所述振动激励产生形变,并将所述形变转换为振动信号。在一些实施例中,移动端440可以包括压电传感部件442和连接梁444。压电传感部件442可以将移动端420的所述形变转化为所述振动信号,所述振动信号可以包括电信号。连接梁444可以连接压电传感部件442。
压电传感部件442可以包括压电材料。如前所述,振动传感器001可以接收外部振动激励,并将外部振动激励转换为电信号。具体地,所述外部振动激励可以使移动端4440发生形变,进而促使压电传感部件442中的 压电材料发生形变,从而产生应力,并输出电压,从而将外部的振动激励转换为电信号,再通过后端电路进行采集、调理,得到所需的电信号。压电材料均符合压电效应本构方程。对于振动传感器001而言,应用的是正压电效应,其本构方程为:
Figure PCTCN2022094006-appb-000001
其中,d ij为压电应变系数,T j为应力,
Figure PCTCN2022094006-appb-000002
为恒力作用下的介电常数,E j为电场强度,D i为电位移。对于振动传感器001,电位移D i主要由外部振动激励形成的应力引起。本构方程可以进一步简化为:
D i=d ijT j
由上述公式可知,压电材料输出电位移D i的大小取决于材料自身的压电应变系数d ij以及压电材料在工作时形成的应力T j。在确定压电材料后,通过设计结构,增加有效压电材料部分区域的应力,是提升压电传感部件442输出的一种有效措施。
压电传感部件442可以悬空于腔体220中。在一些实施例中,压电传感部件442可以分布在移动端440的所有区域。在一些实施例中,压电传感部件442也可以分布在移动端440的部分区域。压电传感部件442可以将移动端440的所述形变转化为振动信号并进行输出。移动端440与基座200之间发生相对运动时,移动端440不同位置的形变程度不同,对压电传感部件442产生的形变应力也不同。为了提高振动传感器001的灵敏度,在一些实施例中,压电传感部件442能够仅设置于移动端440形变程度和应力较大的位置,从而提高振动传感器001的灵敏度。为了方便描述,我们将移动端440形变程度和应力较大的位置定义为第一区域,将移动端440形变程度和应力较小的位置定义为第二区域。所述电信号在所述第一区域的电压高于所述第二区域。在一些实施例中,压电传感部件442能够仅设置于所述第一区域。需要说明的是,所述第一区域和所述第二区域是指移 动端440对应的区域,不包括固定端420的区域,即振动梁400与基座200的连接处的区域。
移动端440所承受的应力的方向与移动端440的整体变形方向有关。当移动端440向下振动与向上振动时其变形方向是相反的,此时,移动端440上同一部位所承受的应力方向也是相反的,在向上振动中受压应力的区域在向下振动中会受到拉应力,在向上振动中受到拉应力的区域在向下振动中会受到压应力。比如,当移动端440向下振动时,移动端440在发生变形时,移动端440下表面沿轴向的应力关于移动端440的中心对称,且在中心一侧会从拉应力减小到零,再从零增大到压应力,零点位于移动端440轴向长度的四分之一和四分之三处。当移动端440向上振动时,移动端440在发生变形时440,移动端440下表面沿轴向的应力关于移动端440的中心对称,且在中心一侧会从压应力减小到零,再从零增大到拉应力,零点位于移动端440轴向长度的四分之一和四分之三处。
因此,为了提高压电传感部件442的灵敏度,压电传感部件440可以布置在应力较大且具有相同应力方向的区域。为了方便展示,下面的描述中我们以移动端440向下振动为例进行描述。当移动端440向下振动时,在一些实施例中,压电传感部件442可以布置在压应力较大的区域。比如,压电传感部件442可以布置在移动端440的两端靠近固定端420的部位,且与固定端420的距离小于移动端440长度的四分之一的范围内。即所述第一区域可以是在移动端440的两端,与固定端420的距离小于移动端440长度的四分之一的范围内。比如,移动端440可以包括至少2个压电传感部件442。以压电传感部件442的数量为2为例,2个压电传感部件442可以分别靠近固定端420的两端,且每个压电传感部件442与其靠近的固定端420的距离可以小于移动端440长度的1/4。此时,压电传感部件442的两端分别与固定端420和连接梁444连接。
在一些实施例中,当移动端440向下振动时,压电传感部件442可以布置在拉应力较大的区域。比如,压电传感部件442可以布置在移动端440,且与固定端420中的一端的距离在移动端440的长度的四分之一至四分之三的范围内。即所述第一区域可以是在移动端440,且与固定端420中的一端的距离在移动端440的长度的四分之一至四分之三的范围内。
需要说明的是,压电传感部件442与固定端420的距离可以是压电传感部件442上的任意位置与固定端420的距离。比如,压电传感部件442与固定端420的距离可以是压电传感部件442的中心位置与固定端420的距离,也可以是压电传感部件442的端部(任意一端的端部)与固定端420的距离,还可以是压电传感部件442的其他部位与固定端420的距离。
压电传感部件442可以包括压电单晶结构组成的叠层结构和压电双晶结构组成的叠层结构中的至少一种。在一些实施例中,压电传感部件442可以是压电单晶结构组成的叠层结构。图6示出了根据本说明书的实施例提供的一种压电传感部件442为压电单晶结构442a的示意图。在一些实施例中,所述压电单晶结构442a沿压电传感部件442的厚度方向从下至上依次可以包括弹性层442a-2、底电极层442a-4、压电层442a-6、顶电极层442a-8。在一些实施例中,所述压电单晶结构442a沿压电传感部件442的厚度方向从上至下依次可以包括弹性层442a-2、顶电极层442a-8、压电层442a-6、底电极层442a-4。为了方便展示,我们以所述压电单晶结构442a沿压电传感部件442的厚度方向从下至上依次可以包括弹性层442a-2、底电极层442a-4、压电层442a-6、顶电极层442a-8为例进行描述。在一些实施例中,压电单晶结构442a还可以包括连接端子层442a-9。
弹性层442a-2可以与固定端420和连接梁444直接或间接地固定连接。所述连接可以是任意连接方式,比如焊接、铆接、卡接、螺栓等固定连接方式,或者通过物理沉积(例如,物理气相沉积)或者化学沉积(例如, 化学气相沉积)等沉积的连接。当振动梁400受到外界振动激励时,弹性层442a-2基于所述振动激励产生所述形变。弹性层442a-2由在外力作用下容易发生形变的材料制成。弹性层442a-2可以为采用半导体材料制成的易变形的结构。弹性层442a-2可以是单层材料,比如Si、SiO2、SiNx、SiC等,也可以是多层材料,例如Si/SiO2,SiO2/Si,Si/SiNx,SiNx/Si等。弹性层442a-2厚度可以是1um-10um。在一些实施例中,弹性层442a-2厚度可以是1um-3um。在一些实施例中,弹性层442a-2厚度可以是2um-6um。在一些实施例中,弹性层442a-2厚度可以是4um-8um。在一些实施例中,弹性层442a-2厚度可以是6um-10um。
压电传感部件442可以包括压电层442a-6。压电层442a-6是指受到外力作用时可以在其两端面产生电压的结构。压电层442a-6可以与基座200直接或间接地固定连接。所述连接可以是任意连接方式,比如焊接、铆接、卡接、螺栓等固定连接方式,或者通过物理沉积(例如,物理气相沉积)或者化学沉积(例如,化学气相沉积)等沉积的连接。在一些实施例中,压电层442a-6在受到振动信号时可以发生所述形变,并基于所述形变产生电压。
压电层442a-6可以直接或间接地附着在弹性层442a-2的表面。在一些实施例中,弹性层442a-2可以与固定端420和连接梁444连接,压电层442a-6通过弹性层442a-2与固定端420和连接梁444连接。以振动梁400位于基座200上表面为例进行说明,在一些实施例中,压电层442a-6可以位于弹性层442a-2远离基座200的一侧。在一些实施例中,压电层442a-6可以位于弹性层442a-2靠近基座200的一侧。当振动梁400受到外界振动激励时,弹性层442a-2基于所述振动激励产生所述形变;压电层442a-6可以基于压电效应,在弹性层442a-2的所述形变作用下受到应力产生电压(电势差)。
对于弯曲变形的梁结构,包括悬臂梁、简支梁、固支梁等,其产生一阶弯曲变形时,沿厚度方向均存在一个中性层,中性层的两侧材料处于相反的应力状态,例如固支梁向上弯曲变形时,中性层以上部分支撑臂材料处于拉应力状态,中性层以下部分支撑臂材料处于压应力状态。压电材料输出电信号的正负与应力状态有关,为了最大化压电材料的输出效率,需要将压电层442a-6布置在中性层的一侧。
压电材料输出电信号的大小与应力大小有关,厚度方向上的各层材料分布位置会影响各层材料在相同振动激励下的应力分布。在一些实施例中,将压电层442a-6分布在弹性层442a-2的一侧。具体地,将压电层442a-6分布在振动梁400的厚度方向的靠近上表面或下表面位置,使得压电层442a-6远离中性层,最大化压电层442a-6应力大小。
在一些实施例中,压电层442a-6可以是半导体的沉积工艺(例如磁控溅射、MOCVD)获得的压电聚合物薄膜。在一些实施例中,压电层442a-6的材料可以包括压电晶体材料和压电陶瓷材料。压电晶体是指压电单晶体。在一些实施例中,压电晶体材料可以包括水晶、闪锌矿、方硼石、电气石、红锌矿、GaAs、钛酸钡及其衍生结构晶体、KH 2PO 4、NaKC 4H 4O 6·4H 2O(罗息盐)等,或其任意组合。压电陶瓷材料是指由不同材料粉粒之间的固相反应和烧结而获得的微细晶粒无规则集合而成的压电多晶体。在一些实施例中,压电陶瓷材料可以包括钛酸钡(BT)、锆钛酸铅(PZT)、铌酸铅钡锂(PBLN)、改性钛酸铅(PT)、氮化铝(AIN)、氧化锌(ZnO)或其任意组合。在一些实施例中,压电层442a-6的材料还可以为压电聚合物材料,例如聚偏氟乙烯(PVDF)等。在一些实施例中,压电层442a-6厚度可以大于500nm。在一些实施例中,压电层442a-6厚度可以是20-500um,比如当振动传感器001用于宏观器件中时。在一些实施例中,压电层442a-6厚度可以是0.5-1.5um,比如当振动传感器001用于MEMS器件中时。
在一些实施例中,弹性层442a-2厚度与压电层442a-6厚度比值可以是1-10。在一些实施例中,弹性层442a-2厚度与压电层442a-6厚度比值可以是2-7。
底电极层442a-4以及顶电极层442a-8分别分布于压电层442a-6的两侧表面。压电层442a-6可以位于底电极层442a-4以及顶电极层442a-8之间。压电层442a-6可以在外界振动激励的作用下随着弹性层442a-2的所述形变产生形变,在形变应力作用下,产生电压。底电极层442a-4以及顶电极层442a-8可以将所述电压进行采集生成所述电信号。其中,底电极层442a-4与顶电极层442a-8的位置对齐。如前所述,压电层442a-6与弹性层442a-2连接,压电层442a-6分布于弹性层442a-2的一侧。底电极层442a-4可以分布于压电层442a-6和弹性层442a-2之间,顶电极层442a-8分布于压电层442a-6远离弹性层442a-2的一侧。
在一些实施例中,底电极层442a-4以及顶电极层442a-8为导电材质结构。示例性的导电材质可以包括金属、合金材料、金属氧化物材料、石墨烯等,或其任意组合。在一些实施例中,金属与合金材料可以包括镍、铁、铅、铂、钛、铜、钼、锌,或其任意组合。在一些实施例中,合金材料可以包括铜锌合金、铜锡合金、铜镍硅合金、铜铬合金、铜银合金等,或其任意组合。在一些实施例中,金属氧化物材料可以包括RuO 2、MnO 2、PbO 2、NiO等,或其任意组合。
底电极层442a-4可以包括至少一个底压电电极片。顶电极层442a-8可以包括至少一个顶压电电极片。所述至少一个底压电电极片中的每个与所述至少一个顶压电电极片中的至少一个位置对齐。在一些实施例中,每个所述底压电电极片的位置对应一个顶压电电极片。在一些实施例中,每个所述底压电电极片的位置对应多个顶压电电极片,比如,2个、3个、4个,等等。所述多个顶压电电极片以所述底压电电极片为公共端组成串联输出单元,以增大输出电压。提高灵敏度。所述多个顶压电电极片也可以与所 述底压电电极片组成并联输出单元,以增大输出电荷,提高灵敏度。压电传感部件442中可以只包括串联输出单元,也可以只包括并联输出单元,也可以既包括串联输出单元又包括并联输出单元。
在一些实施例中,底电极层442a-4厚度可以是50-200nm。在一些实施例中,底电极层442a-4厚度可以是100-150nm。在一些实施例中,底电极层442a-4厚度可以是100-200nm。在一些实施例中,底电极层442a-4厚度可以是80-150nm。在一些实施例中,底电极层442a-4厚度可以是150-200nm。在一些实施例中,底电极层442a-4厚度可以是120-150nm。在一些实施例中,底电极层442a-4厚度可以是120-200nm。在一些实施例中,底电极层442a-4厚度可以是150-200nm。在一些实施例中,顶电极层442a-8厚度可为50-200nm。在一些实施例中,顶电极层442a-8厚度可以是100-150nm。在一些实施例中,顶电极层442a-8厚度可以是100-200nm。在一些实施例中,顶电极层442a-8厚度可以是80-150nm。在一些实施例中,顶电极层442a-8厚度可以是150-200nm。在一些实施例中,顶电极层442a-8厚度可以是120-150nm。在一些实施例中,顶电极层442a-8厚度可以是120-200nm。在一些实施例中,顶电极层442a-8厚度可以是150-200nm。
在一些实施例中,压电单晶结构442a还可以包括连接端子层442a-9,与底电极层442a-4或顶电极层442a-8连接,以将所述电信号输出至外部处理电路。连接端子层442a-9可以与底电极层442a-4和顶电极层442a-8的材料相同,也可以不同。在一些实施例中,连接端子层442a-9的厚度可以是100-200nm。在一些实施例中,连接端子层442a-9的厚度可以是150-200nm。在一些实施例中,连接端子层442a-9的厚度可以是100-150nm。在一些实施例中,连接端子层442a-9的厚度可以是120-200nm。在一些实施例中,连接端子层442a-9的厚度可以是160-200nm。
在一些实施例中,压电传感部件442可以是压电单晶结构组成的叠层结构。图7示出了根据本说明书的实施例提供的一种压电传感部件442的 压电双晶结构442b的示意图。如图7所示,压电双晶结构442b沿压电传感部件442的厚度方向从下至上依次可以包括电极层442b-2、压电层442b-4、电极层442b-2、压电层442b-4以及电极层442b-2。在一些实施例中,压电双晶结构442b还可以包括连接端子层442b-9。电极层442b-2与上述的底电极层442a-4或顶电极层442a-8的材料的厚度基本一致,在此不再赘述。压电层442b-4与上述压电层442a-6的材料的厚度基本一致,在此不再赘述。连接端子层442b-9与上述连接端子层442a-9的材料的厚度基本一致,在此不再赘述。
连接梁444可以连接压电传感部件442,比如,连接梁444可以位于2个压电传感部件442之间,并连接2个压电传感部件442。连接梁444材料可以是Si、SiO 2、SiNx等。
如图1至图5所示,为了提高振动传感器001的灵敏度,每个振动梁400还可以包括配重块460。配重块460可以与移动端440连接。配重块460可以直接与移动端440连接,也可以间接与移动端440连接。具体地,配重块460可以与连接梁444连接。在一些实施例中,配重块460可以位于移动端440的中间位置,以使配重块460在第一方向221上可以位于腔体220的中心。在移动端440响应于外界的振动激励产生形变时,配重块460可以基于所述形变产生位移。在一些实施例中,配重块460可以相对于移动端420向一侧凸出,悬空于腔体220中。比如,配重块460可以相对于移动端420向上方凸出,悬空于腔体220中。配重块460也可以相对于移动端420向下方凸出,悬空于腔体220中。
配重块460可以使得移动端420在外力作用下更容易发生变形,从而增加压电传感部件442输出的所述电信号。在一些实施例中,通过改变配重块460的大小、形状、位置可以提高压电传感部件442的输出的所述电信号。配重块460的设置可以改变振动梁400振动时的固有频率和振动幅值。
在一些实施例中,配重块460的材料可以是Si、SiO 2、SiNx等。配重块460的平面形状可以是圆形、三角形、四边形、多边形,等等。以配重块460的平面形状为四边形为例。在一些实施例中,配重块460的长度可以是50um-500um。在一些实施例中,配重块460的长度可以是80um-300um。在一些实施例中,配重块460的宽度可以是50um-500um。在一些实施例中,配重块460的宽度可以是80um-200um。在一些实施例中,配重块460的宽度可以大于、等于、小于振动梁400的宽度。在一些实施例中,配重块460的宽度可以等于振动梁400的宽度。
由于配重块460与移动端420刚性连接,配重块460所在位置对应的移动端420的形变较小,有效电信号的电压较小。而移动端420在靠近配重块460的位置的形变和应力较大,有效电信号的电压也较大。因此,在一些实施例中,振动传感器001还可以额外在靠近配重块460的位置增设压电传感部件442。增设的压电传感部件442可以设置在靠近配重块460且围绕配重块460的周向区域。
在一些实施例中,当所述振动激励为机械振动激励时(比如振动传感器001用于骨传导麦克风中),每个振动梁400可以包括配重块460。在一些实施例中,当所述振动激励为空气振动激励时(比如振动传感器001用于气传导麦克风中),每个振动梁400可以不包括配重块460。
如前所述,腔体220在第一方向221上的尺寸可以沿第二方向222变化。即腔体220在第一方向221上的尺寸随着其在第二方向222上的位置变化而变化。也就是说,腔体220在第二方向222上的不同位置,对应的第一方向221上的尺寸是不同的。多个振动梁400可以沿所述第二方向222依次排列在基座200上。而每个振动梁400的移动端440悬空在腔体220上。也就是说,多个振动梁400分别位于腔体220在第二方向222上的不同位置。因此,每个振动梁400的移动端440悬空于腔体220上的部分在第一方向221上的尺寸(振动梁400的轴向尺寸)是不同的。因此,每个 振动梁400具有不同的固有频率。多个振动梁400对应多个振动频率。每个振动梁400响应于外界的振动激励,生成包括其对应的固有频率在内的子目标频率窗口内的振动信号。不同的振动梁400生成的振动信号对应不同的子目标频率窗口。所述多个振动梁400对应的多个子目标频率窗口覆盖不同的频率范围。所述多个子目标频率窗口构成目标频率窗口。在一些实施例中,所述目标频率窗口可以是连续的频率窗口。所述多个子目标频率窗口共同构成连续的所述目标频率窗口。在一些实施例中,所述目标频率窗口可以是任意频率范围。所述目标频率窗口可以基于振动传感器001的使用场景进行设定。比如,振动传感器001用作麦克风和用作加速度传感器时的目标频率窗口可能是不同的。在一些实施例中,多个振动梁400对应的多个固有频率可以均匀地分布在所述目标频率窗口内。在一些实施例中,多个振动梁400对应的多个固有频率可以非均匀地分布在所述目标频率窗口内。
如前所述,所述子目标频率窗口可以时包括所述固有频率在内的频率窗口。在一些实施例中,所述子目标频率窗口可以是相对于固有频率对称设置的频率窗口。在一些实施例中,所述子目标频率窗口可以是相对于固有频率非对称设置的频率窗口。在一些实施例中,所述子目标频率窗口的长度范围应在在预先设定的长度范围内。在一些实施例中,我们可以根据子目标频率窗口对应的振动信号的幅值确定子目标频率窗口覆盖的范围。比如,所述子目标频率窗口内的振动信号的幅值应不小于所述固有频率对应的谐振峰值的预设比例。所述预设比例可以是预先设定的任意比例,比如,20%、30%、50%,等等。在一些实施例中,我们可以根据子目标频率窗口对应的振动信号的灵敏度确定子目标频率窗口覆盖的范围。比如,所述子目标频率窗口内的振动信号的灵敏度应不小于预先设定的阈值。
在一些实施例中,我们可以根据振动传感器001的使用场景以及使用需求,确定振动传感器001对应的目标频率窗口的范围,从而确定多个振 动梁400的数量,以及每个振动梁400对应的固有频率和子目标频率窗口。在一些实施例中,当振动传感器001用作麦克风(比如骨传导麦克风)时,所述目标频率窗口可以是100Hz-5000Hz。在一些实施例中,当振动传感器001的所述目标频率窗口可以是20Hz-5000Hz。在一些实施例中,振动梁400的数量可以是2个以及2个以上。比如,在一些实施例中,振动梁400的数量可以是3-50个。在一些实施例中,振动梁400的数量可以是10-20个。在一些实施例中,振动梁400的数量可以根据振动传感器001的使用场景以及使用需求,基于振动传感器001所需的谐振峰的数量进行确定。在只利用振动梁400一阶谐振峰的情况下,振动梁400的个数等于谐振峰的个数。在利用振动梁400的高阶谐振峰的情况下,则振动梁400的个数少于谐振峰的个数。但通常高阶谐振峰的信号强度远小于一阶谐振峰,因此在振动传感器001中通常利用振动梁400的一阶谐振峰。
振动梁400的固有频率由振动梁400本身的特性决定。振动梁400的固有频率不仅与振动梁400的材料特性有关,还与振动梁400悬空于腔体200上的移动端440的尺寸有关。如前所述,腔体220在第二方向222上的不同位置,其对应的第一方向221上的尺寸是不同的。因此,我们可以根据腔体220在第一方向221上的尺寸、每个振动梁400在腔体220上的位置以及每个振动梁400的尺寸来设计每个振动梁400,使每个振动梁400的固有频率满足预设值。具体地,我们可以通过改变腔体220在第一方向221上的尺寸、每个振动梁400在腔体220上的位置以及每个振动梁400的尺寸,使得每个振动梁400悬空于腔体220上的移动端440满足预设的规则,从而使得每个振动梁400的固有频率满足预设值。所述预设值可以是预先确定的每个振动梁400的固有频率。
在一些实施例中,多个振动梁400的总体尺寸可以是相同的,比如,振动梁400的轴向长度、宽度以及厚度的尺寸可以是相同的,通过改变振动梁400在腔体220上的位置以及腔体220在第一方向221上的尺寸,使 得多个振动梁400悬空于腔体220上的移动端440的尺寸不同,从而使多个振动梁400具有不同的固有频率,并使固有频率满足预设值。此时,无需对每个振动梁400的尺寸进行定制加工,只需改变腔体220的尺寸以及振动梁400在腔体220上的位置即可实现对多个振动梁400的固有频率的设计,使其满足预设值。这种方法可以降低加工难度和加工成本,同时提高振动传感器001的精度。
在一些实施例中,多个振动梁400的总体可以是不同的,比如,振动梁400的轴向长度、宽度以及厚度中的至少一个方向上的尺寸可以是不同的,通过改变振动梁400在腔体220上的位置、腔体220在第一方向221上的尺寸以及多个振动梁400的尺寸,使得多个振动梁400悬空于腔体220上的移动端440的尺寸不同,从而使多个振动梁400具有不同的固有频率,并使固有频率满足预设值。
为了方便描述,我们以多个振动梁400的总体尺寸是相同的为例进行描述。
例如,以所述目标频率窗口为20Hz-5000Hz,振动梁400的数量为10,10个振动梁400的固有频率在目标频率窗口内均匀分布为例,各个振动梁400的固有频率之间需要间隔一定的频带宽度以便于区分,各固有频率之间的频带宽度为50Hz-400Hz。在一些实施例中,各固有频率之间的频带宽度为100Hz-200Hz。在一些实施例中,各振动梁400之间的间隙宽度可以为1um-200um。在一些实施例中,各振动梁400之间的间隙宽度为10um-100um。不同振动梁400之间的间隙宽度可以相等也可以不相等。
在一些实施例中,各振动梁400悬空于腔体220上方的移动端440在第一方向221上的长度可以线性变化,也可以非线性变化。在一些实施例中,各振动梁400在腔体220上可以按移动端440的长度依次排列,也可以按照其他规律排列。各振动梁400的平面形状可以是矩形、梯形、曲线形等。在一些实施例中,各振动梁400的横截面宽度可以是50um-300um。 在一些实施例中,各振动梁400的横截面宽度可以是80um-200um。在一些实施例中,各振动梁400的轴向长度可以是100um-1300um。在一些实施例中,各振动梁400的轴向长度可以是200um-1200um。
如前所述,在一些实施例中,振动梁400可以不包括配重块460。比如,在气传导麦克风中,由于空气振动激励的能量较小,此时,可以减小相邻振动梁400之间的间隙宽度,以增大振动信号的输出。
在一些实施例中,振动梁400还可以包括配重块460。此时,我们可以根据腔体220在第一方向221上的尺寸、每个振动梁400在腔体220上的位置、每个振动梁400的尺寸以及配重块460的尺寸来设计每个振动梁400,使每个振动梁400的固有频率满足预设值。具体地,我们可以通过改变腔体220在第一方向221上的尺寸、每个振动梁400在腔体220上的位置、每个振动梁400的尺寸以及及配重块460的尺寸,使得每个振动梁400悬空于腔体220上的移动端440满足预设的规则,从而使得每个振动梁400的固有频率满足预设值。
图8示出了根据本说明书的实施例提供的一种归一化位移共振曲线图。图8所示的曲线可以是多个振动梁400中的一个对应的归一化位移共振曲线图。如图8所示,横轴为外界的振动激励ω和振动梁400的固有频率ω 0的比值,纵轴为归一化位移A。归一化位移A可以是振动梁400的位移振幅与静态位移振幅的比值。所述静态位移振幅可以是外界振动激励为恒定激励(即ω=0)时的位移振幅。其中,
Figure PCTCN2022094006-appb-000003
其中,M为振动梁400的质量,即移动端440和配重块460的质量。K为振动梁400的弹性系数。如图8所示,当振动梁400的固有频率ω 0和外界的振动激励ω相等时,归一化位移A达到最大,即在谐振频率处的位移达到峰值(即谐振峰)。因此,为了提高振动传感器001的灵敏度,对于压电传感部件442采集的振动信号,我们可以选取振动梁400的固有频率ω 0附近的预设频率范围作为每个 振动梁400对应的子目标频率窗口,并将子目标频率窗口内的振动信号作为振动梁400生成的振动信号。
图8中所示的不同的曲线分别对应振动梁400的6个不同的力学品质因素Q。其中,
Figure PCTCN2022094006-appb-000004
其中,R为振动梁400的阻尼。如图8所示,在振动梁400的固有频率ω 0确定时,振动梁400的力学品质因素Q越大,其对应的归一化位移A也越大。归一化位移A其对应的压电传感部件442输出的振动信号的电信号也越大。
当基座200上多个振动梁400时,多个振动梁400所产生的振动信号会相互耦合和叠加。若基座200刚度和质量远大于振动梁400的刚度和质量,则不同振动梁400之间的耦合作用可以忽略。即可以认为振动传感器001向外输出的振动信号的电信号的线性叠加。图9示出了根据本说明书的实施例提供的一种振动信号的示意图。图9所示的振动信号为多个振动梁400生成的多个振动信号的线性叠加。在一些实施例中,为了便于后续信号处理,我们可以使不同振动梁400输出的振动信号在其对应的所述固有频率上的偏差在预设偏差范围内,从而使不同振动梁400输出的振动信号在其对应的所述固有频率上可以在同一量级或相近的量级内,以便于计算。所述预设偏差范围可以是预先设定的便于信号计算的范围。所述预设偏差范围可以基于经验取值,也可以基于实验统计的方式获取,还可以基于机器学习的方式获取。所述不同振动梁400输出的振动信号在其对应的所述固有频率上的偏差在预设偏差范围内可以是不同振动梁400输出的振动信号的归一化位移A在其对应的所述固有频率上的偏差不超过所述预设偏差范围。在一些实施例中,所述预设的偏差范围可以是任意值,比如,±30%、±20%、±10%,等等。在一些实施例中,我们可以设计每个振动梁400的力学品质因素Q,使得多个振动梁400的力学品质因素Q的偏差在预设偏差范围内,从而使得不同振动梁400输出的振动信号的归一化位移A在其对 应的所述固有频率上的偏差在所述预设偏差范围内。在一些实施例中,我们可以通过设计配重块460的尺寸,使其与其对应的振动梁400的所述固有频率相匹配,使得每个振动梁400的力学品质因素Q的偏差在预设偏差范围内,从而使得每个振动梁400对应的所述振动信号在其对应的所述固有频率上的偏差在预设偏差范围内。具体地,我们在确定振动梁400的固有频率ω 0的前提下,通过设计和更改腔体220在第一方向221上的尺寸、振动梁400在腔体220上的位置、移动端440的尺寸以及配重块460的尺寸,使得每个振动梁400的力学品质因素Q的偏差在预设偏差范围内,从而使得每个振动梁400对应的所述振动信号在其对应的所述固有频率上的偏差在预设偏差范围内。
在一些实施例中,不同振动梁400输出的振动信号的归一化位移A在其对应的所述固有频率上的偏差也可以不在预设偏差范围内。本领域技术人员应当明白,不同振动梁400输出的振动信号的归一化位移A在其对应的所述固有频率上不在预设偏差范围内也不影响振动信号的叠加处理,也在本说明书的保护范围内。
本说明书还提供一种麦克风,所述麦克风可以包括壳体和本说明书提供的振动传感器001。振动传感器001可以安装在所述壳体中。所述壳体可以与基座200固定连接。所述壳体与基座200可以是一体结构,也可以是分体式结构,并通过固定连接方式连接在一起,比如,焊接、铆接、螺栓连接、粘接,等等。当所述壳体受到外力振动时(例如,人体说话时脸部的振动带动壳体振动),所述壳体振动带动基座200振动。由于振动梁400与所述壳体结构(或基座200)各自的属性不同,使得振动梁400与所述壳体结构(或基座200)之间无法保持完全一致的移动,从而产生相对运动,进而使振动梁400产生所述形变。压电传感部件442将所述形变转换为所述振动信号并输出。
在一些实施例中,所述麦克风还可以包括信号合成电路。所述信号合成电路同每个振动梁400的压电传感部件442连接,运行时采集每个压电传感部件442采集的所述振动信号,并进行信号合成处理,以生成目标频率窗口内的振动信号。所述信号合成处理可以是将多个振动梁400生成的多个振动信号进行线性叠加。
仅作为示例性说明,本说明书描述的所述麦克风可以应用于各种电子产品。比如,耳机(例如,骨传导耳机或空气传导耳机、无线耳机、有线耳机)、智能眼镜、智能穿戴式设备、智能头盔、智能腕表等具有语音采集功能的设备。
综上所述,本说明书提供的振动传感器001和麦克风,振动梁400通过两端的固定端420固定在基座200上,而中间部分的移动端440悬空在腔体220中,并响应于外界的振动激励产生形变。振动传感器001以及麦克风通过改变腔体220的结构和尺寸以及振动梁400的尺寸和位置,使得多个振动梁400悬空于腔体220上的部分的尺寸不同,从而使得不同的振动梁400具有不同的固有频率,在振动激励下生成不同频率的谐振峰。多个振动梁400可以生成多个不同频率范围的振动信号,多个不同频率范围的振动信号共同构成宽频带的振动信号,从而使得振动传感器004的频率响应范围更宽。同时,振动传感器001以及麦克风选取的振动信号为谐振峰附近的预设范围内的振动信号,因此,其灵敏度更高。并且,振动传感器001以及麦克风通过对基座200腔体220的尺寸进行设计来实现多谐振峰以及宽频带的目的,其结构简单,加工难度低,加工成本低且精度更高,振动信号的采集结果更准确。同时,基于本说明书提供的振动传感器001和麦克风002采集的振动信号,在后续对振动信号的处理,使得后期算法处理时,可以利用低阶滤波器从图9所示的振动信号中提取出截止边缘陡峭的不同频率下输出的位移信号,从而提取出不同频率下的输入信号,从而避免后期算法利用高阶滤波器对信号进行提取,减少算法计算量。
上述对本说明书特定实施例进行了描述。其他实施例在所附权利要求书的范围内。在一些情况下,在权利要求书中记载的动作或步骤可以按照不同于实施例中的顺序来执行并且仍然可以实现期望的结果。另外,在附图中描绘的过程不一定要求示出特定顺序或者连续顺序才能实现期望的结果。在某些实施方式中,多任务处理和并行处理也是可以的或者是可能有利的。
