Obviously, the drawings described below are merely embodiments of the present invention.

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] The control system of a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) vibrating gyroscope mainly consists of a driving mode control system and a sensitive mode control system. The driving circuit is used to excite the driving mode to a constant amplitude resonance, which is used to respond to the angular rate input with displacement. The sensitive circuit usually adopts a force balance closed-loop detection method, which essentially maintains the detection mass block in its initial position by applying a balancing force. Any change in amplitude will be reflected in a change in the scale factor. Therefore, in order to achieve accurate angular rate detection, the vibration displacement amplitude of the driving mode must be very stable. In order to achieve high stability in amplitude control, automatic gain control (AGC) technology is generally used. However, in traditional AGC schemes, the vibration displacement is usually controlled only based on the fundamental wave amplitude. Due to the influence of factors such as ambient temperature, the fundamental wave amplitude cannot accurately represent the actual vibration displacement, resulting in instability of the vibration displacement amplitude, which in turn causes the zero bias and scale factor to drift.

[0044] Therefore, existing technologies use the relationship between the harmonic-primary ratio (HPR) and the displacement amplitude in the vibration displacement signal. Since gyroscope vibration signals usually adopt differential detection, existing methods all use the fundamental and third harmonic amplitudes to calculate the control input. However, the third harmonic amplitude is usually very small, less than tens of millivolts, and is easily affected by noise interference, resulting in low control accuracy.

[0045] The present invention performs odd-order and even-order filtering separation processing on the two differential vibration displacement electrical signals converted from the outputs of the differential detection electrodes to obtain odd-order vibration displacement electrical signals and even-order vibration displacement electrical signals respectively, and generates an excitation signal according to the fundamental amplitude and second harmonic amplitude obtained by demodulation. A driving modal vibration amplitude control method based on the second harmonic-fundamental amplitude ratio is constructed to keep the vibration displacement amplitude constant and independent of the circuit gain, reduce the influence of factors such as temperature on the zero bias and scale factor, and further reduce the influence of external interference while reducing the demodulation error, thereby improving the accuracy of closed-loop control.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1A flowchart of a method for controlling the vibration of a micromechanical gyroscope drive mode provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The method may include:

[0047] S101: Acquire two differential vibration displacement electrical signals; the two differential vibration displacement electrical signals are two electrical signals obtained by converting capacitance changes of differential detection electrodes in a micromechanical gyroscope.

[0048] This embodiment converts the capacitance change of the differential detection electrodes in the micromechanical gyroscope into two electrical signals. Furthermore, since the high-frequency carrier generator generates a high-frequency carrier and loads it onto the mass block of the micromechanical gyroscope to modulate the capacitance change of the gyroscope detection electrodes of the micromechanical gyroscope, the carrier demodulator can be used to demodulate the electrical signal modulated by the high-frequency carrier to generate the final two differential vibration displacement electrical signals.

[0049] Furthermore, in order to ensure smooth acquisition of the two differential vibration displacement electrical signals, the two differential vibration displacement electrical signals may be two electrical signals obtained by converting the capacitance variation of the differential detection electrodes in the micromechanical gyroscope using a charge amplifier.

[0050] It should be noted that in this embodiment, a charge amplifier is used to convert the capacitance change of the differential detection electrode in the micromechanical gyroscope into two electrical signals, thereby obtaining two differential vibration displacement electrical signals, thereby ensuring the smooth implementation of the control method.

[0051] S102: Using a harmonic separator, perform odd-order filtering and even-order separation processing on the two differential vibration displacement electrical signals to obtain odd-order vibration displacement electrical signals and even-order vibration displacement electrical signals, respectively.

[0052] In this embodiment, a harmonic separator is added to perform odd-order and even-order filtering separation processing on the two acquired differential vibration displacement electrical signals to form odd-order vibration displacement electrical signals and even-order vibration displacement electrical signals respectively.

[0053] S103: Demodulating the odd-order vibration displacement electrical signal using the fundamental wave to obtain the fundamental wave amplitude, and demodulating the even-order vibration displacement electrical signal using the second harmonic to obtain the second harmonic amplitude.

[0054] In the amplitude control loop, the odd-order vibration displacement electrical signal is sent to the fundamental wave amplitude calculator to obtain the fundamental wave amplitude, and the even-order vibration displacement electrical signal is sent to the second harmonic amplitude calculator to obtain the second harmonic amplitude.

[0055] S104: The quotient of the second harmonic amplitude divided by the fundamental wave amplitude is taken as the second harmonic to fundamental wave amplitude ratio.

[0056] In the closed-loop detection of the micromechanical gyroscope force balance, the zero bias and scale factor of the micromechanical gyroscope are closely related to the vibration displacement. The zero bias can be expressed as The scaling factor can be expressed as Where τ represents the decay time constant, m represents the effective mass of the oscillator, and θ τ is the damping axis deflection angle, ω x is the resonant frequency, ||x|| is the amplitude of the vibration displacement, is the driving modal phase shift, K VF is the conversion coefficient from voltage to driving force, A g is the angular gain.

[0057] As you can see, both the bias and scale factor are related to ||x||. ||x|| is typically controlled at a fixed value, but due to environmental changes, ||x|| can vary slightly. For a micromechanical gyroscope, these small changes can significantly affect the long-term stability of the bias and scale factor.

[0058] In order to solve the problem in the prior art that when the excitation signal is adjusted directly based on the difference between the fundamental wave amplitude and the reference amplitude value, the fundamental wave amplitude will be affected by the environment, which leads to inaccurate adjustment of the excitation signal and the inability to keep the vibration displacement of the micromechanical gyroscope stable. In this application, the quotient of the second harmonic amplitude divided by the fundamental wave amplitude is used as the adjustment basis, thereby eliminating the influence of the environment and ensuring accurate control of the vibration displacement of the micromechanical gyroscope.

[0059] S105: generating an excitation signal according to the second harmonic fundamental wave amplitude ratio and a reference amplitude value, and outputting the excitation signal to an excitation electrode of the micromechanical gyroscope to adjust the vibration displacement of the micromechanical gyroscope.

[0060] In this embodiment, an excitation signal is generated based on the second harmonic fundamental wave amplitude ratio and a reference amplitude value, wherein the reference amplitude value is pre-set. The specific numerical value of the reference amplitude value is not particularly limited in this application and can be set according to the actual application scenario. In addition, the intensity of the generated excitation signal can be adjusted in a proportional integral manner by the difference between the second harmonic fundamental wave amplitude ratio and the reference amplitude value, and this is also not particularly limited in this application. After determining the excitation signal, the excitation signal is output to the excitation electrode of the micromechanical gyroscope, and the vibration displacement of the micromechanical gyroscope is affected by the excitation signal. The vibration displacement of the micromechanical gyroscope is then reflected by the capacitance change of the gyroscope detection electrode. The above process is repeated, thereby achieving the stability of the drive mode vibration control of the micromechanical gyroscope.

[0061] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the fundamental wave amplitude and the second harmonic amplitude are obtained smoothly, before the above-mentioned steps of demodulating the odd-order vibration displacement electrical signal using the fundamental wave to obtain the fundamental wave amplitude and demodulating the even-order vibration displacement electrical signal using the second harmonic to obtain the second harmonic amplitude, the following steps may be further included:

[0062] Step S11: Demodulate the odd-order vibration displacement electrical signal using the first sinusoidal signal to obtain a fundamental wave phase value; the first sinusoidal signal is a sinusoidal signal of the vibration angular frequency of the micromechanical gyroscope.

[0063] Step S12: Obtain the fundamental wave angular frequency and the second harmonic angular frequency according to the fundamental wave phase value.

[0064] Step S13: Generate a first cosine signal according to the fundamental wave angular frequency, use the first cosine signal as the fundamental wave, and perform the step of demodulating the odd wave vibration displacement electrical signal using the fundamental wave to obtain the fundamental wave amplitude; the angular frequency of the first cosine signal is the fundamental wave angular frequency.

[0065] Step S14: Generate a second cosine signal according to the second harmonic angular frequency, use the second cosine signal as the second harmonic, and perform the step of demodulating the dual-wave vibration displacement electrical signal using the second harmonic to obtain the second harmonic amplitude; the angular frequency of the second cosine signal is the second harmonic angular frequency.

[0066] This embodiment first uses a sinusoidal signal with an angular frequency equal to the vibration angular frequency of the micromechanical gyroscope to demodulate the odd-wave vibration displacement electrical signal and obtain the fundamental wave phase. The fundamental wave angular frequency and the second harmonic angular frequency are then obtained from the fundamental wave phase. The fundamental wave angular frequency is the angular frequency corresponding to the fundamental wave, i.e., the odd-wave vibration angular frequency, and the second harmonic angular frequency is twice the fundamental wave angular frequency. A first cosine signal with an angular frequency equal to the fundamental wave angular frequency is used as the fundamental wave, and a second cosine signal with an angular frequency equal to the second harmonic angular frequency is used as the second harmonic. This allows the fundamental wave and the second harmonic to be used to control the vibration displacement of the micromechanical gyroscope.

[0067] This embodiment utilizes the fundamental wave and the second harmonic to demodulate the odd-order vibration displacement electrical signal and the even-order vibration displacement electrical signal, respectively. In addition to obtaining the amplitude of the fundamental wave and the amplitude of the second harmonic, the fundamental wave and the harmonics are generated in advance, thereby further improving the automation and integrity of the control of the micromechanical gyroscope in this application.

[0068] Furthermore, in order to ensure stable generation of the excitation signal, the above-mentioned generation of the excitation signal according to the second harmonic fundamental wave amplitude ratio and the reference amplitude value may include:

[0069] According to the difference between the second harmonic fundamental wave amplitude ratio and the reference amplitude value, the excitation signal amplitude value is adjusted;

[0070] The excitation signal is obtained by multiplying the first cosine value in the first cosine signal by the amplitude value of the excitation signal.

[0071] In this embodiment, the second harmonic fundamental wave amplitude ratio can be adjusted to approach the reference amplitude value based on the difference between the second harmonic fundamental wave amplitude ratio and the reference amplitude value to obtain an excitation signal amplitude value, and the excitation signal amplitude value is multiplied by the first cosine value of the first cosine signal to obtain the excitation signal. In this embodiment, the angular frequency of the first cosine signal is the fundamental wave angular frequency.

[0072] Furthermore, in order to ensure the stability of the micromechanical gyroscope driving mode vibration control, the above-mentioned adjustment of the excitation signal amplitude value according to the difference between the second harmonic fundamental wave amplitude ratio and the reference amplitude value may include:

[0073] According to the difference between the second harmonic fundamental wave amplitude ratio and the reference amplitude value, the excitation signal amplitude value is adjusted in a proportional-integral control manner.

[0074] In this embodiment, the excitation signal is adjusted based on the difference between the second harmonic fundamental wave amplitude ratio and the reference amplitude value, specifically by a proportional integral method. Applying the proportional integral method to adjust the excitation signal has the advantages of timely adjustment and ultimately eliminating the difference between the second harmonic fundamental wave amplitude ratio and the reference amplitude value, thereby maintaining stable vibration control of the micromechanical gyroscope drive mode.

[0075] Furthermore, in order to ensure smooth acquisition of the fundamental wave angular frequency and the second harmonic angular frequency, the above-mentioned acquisition of the fundamental wave angular frequency and the second harmonic angular frequency according to the fundamental wave phase value may include:

[0076] According to the difference between the fundamental wave phase value and the reference phase value, the fundamental wave angular frequency and the second harmonic angular frequency are adjusted.

[0077] In this embodiment, the fundamental wave phase value can be adjusted to approach the reference phase value based on the difference between the fundamental wave phase value and the reference phase value to obtain the fundamental wave angular frequency and the second harmonic angular frequency. It should be noted that the reference phase value in this embodiment is pre-set, and the specific value of the reference phase value is not particularly limited in this application and can be set according to actual application scenarios.

[0078] Furthermore, in order to ensure the accuracy of obtaining the fundamental wave angular frequency and the second harmonic angular frequency, thereby improving the control stability, the above adjustment based on the difference between the fundamental wave phase value and the reference phase value to obtain the fundamental wave angular frequency and the second harmonic angular frequency may include:

[0079] According to the difference between the fundamental wave phase value and the reference phase value, the fundamental wave angular frequency and the second harmonic angular frequency are adjusted in a proportional-integral control manner.

[0080] This embodiment performs adjustment in a proportional-integral manner according to the difference between the fundamental wave phase value and the reference phase value to obtain the final fundamental wave angular frequency and the second harmonic angular frequency, thereby further improving the stability of the micromechanical gyroscope drive mode vibration control.

[0116] It should be noted that the order of the modules, units and sub-units in the above-mentioned micro-mechanical gyroscope driven modal vibration control system can be changed without affecting the logic.

[0117] The micromechanical gyroscope driven modal vibration control system provided by the embodiment of the present invention performs odd-order and even-order filtering separation processing on the two differential vibration displacement electrical signals converted from the differential detection electrode outputs, thereby obtaining odd-order and even-order vibration displacement electrical signals, respectively. An excitation signal is generated based on the fundamental wave amplitude and second harmonic amplitude obtained by demodulation. This reduces the demodulation error while also reducing the influence of external interference, thereby improving the accuracy of closed-loop control. In addition, the embodiment of the present invention performs charge amplification processing on the two differential vibration displacement electrical signals before performing odd-order filtering and separation processing on the two differential vibration displacement electrical signals. This facilitates the subsequent odd-order filtering and separation processing of the two differential vibration displacement electrical signals, reduces external interference, and improves the accuracy of filtering and separation. The odd-order vibration displacement electrical signals and the even-order vibration displacement electrical signals are demodulated using the fundamental wave and the second harmonic, respectively. In addition to obtaining the fundamental wave amplitude and the second harmonic amplitude, the fundamental wave and the harmonics are pre-generated, further improving the automation and integrity of the control of the micromechanical gyroscope in the present application. The use of a proportional-integral method to adjust the excitation signal has the advantages of timely adjustment and ultimately eliminating the difference between the second harmonic fundamental wave amplitude ratio and the reference amplitude value, thereby maintaining stable micromechanical gyroscope drive modal vibration control. The final fundamental wave angular frequency and the second harmonic angular frequency are obtained by proportional-integral adjustment based on the difference between the fundamental wave phase value and the reference phase value, further improving the stability of the micromechanical gyroscope drive modal vibration control.
