The gyroscope mainly comprises an upper sealing layer, a lower base layer and a middle detection layer, wherein the middle detection layer is provided with a cross-shaped detection cavity, and a metal resistance bridge heating element and a metal resistance bridge thermosensitive element which are located in the detection cavity. According to the MEMS three-axis gyroscope based on the thermal expansion flow disclosed by the invention, the detection layer with a ladder structure, the cross-shaped detection cavity and a suspended metal resistance bridge are arranged so as to realize simultaneous measurement of a space three-axis angular speed; the MEMS three-axis gyroscope has a very high integration level; the interferences on the measurement of an angular speed signal by a Z-axis acceleration input can be eliminated, so that the multi-degree of freedom measurement of the MEMS three-axis gyroscope based on the thermal expansion flow is realized. Furthermore, the detection layer, the base layer and the cross-shaped detection cavity of the micro-gyroscope can be formed by adopting an MEMS silicon micro-processing process, so that the MEMS three-axis gyroscope based on the thermal expansion flow has the advantages of small size, low power consumption, low cost and the like.
