Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of micro-mechanical systems, and in particular to a lever-type three-axis gyroscope. [Background technology]
[0002] A gyroscope is a sensor used to measure angular rate and is one of the core components of inertial technology. It plays an important role in modern industrial control, aerospace, national defense and military, and consumer electronics.
[0003] The development of gyroscope can be roughly divided into three stages:
[0004] The first stage is the traditional mechanical rotor gyroscope, which has high precision and plays an irreplaceable role in military strategic weapons such as nuclear submarines and intercontinental strategic missiles, but it is large in size, complex in manufacturing process, expensive, long in cycle and not suitable for mass production; the second stage is the optical detection gyroscope, mainly including laser gyroscope and fiber optic gyroscope, which mainly uses the Sagnac effect. Its advantages are no rotating parts and high precision. It plays an important role in navigation and aerospace, but it still faces the problems of large size, high cost and difficulty in integration; the third stage is the micromechanical gyroscope, which was developed in the 1990s. Its research started late, but it has developed rapidly with its unique advantages of small size, low power consumption, light weight, mass production, low price, strong overload resistance and integration. It is suitable for civil fields such as aircraft navigation, automobile manufacturing, digital electronics, industrial equipment and modern national defense and military fields such as drones, tactical missiles, smart bombs, and military aiming systems. It has broad application prospects and is attracting more and more attention.
[0005] As the demand in the consumer market increases, there are higher requirements for the size and performance of MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System) gyroscopes. Gyroscopes have also changed from single-axis gyroscopes to three-axis gyroscopes. Early three-axis gyroscopes consisted of three independent single-axis gyroscopes and needed to include a separate drive structure, so the overall structure size was large. In current consumer applications, single-chip three-axis gyroscopes are generally used, which are characterized by shared drive and reasonable layout of X / Y / Z gyroscope mass blocks. Despite this, three-axis gyroscopes also face the problems of large size, low integration, and large orthogonal error.
[0006] See Chinese invention patent CN108225295A, which discloses a three-axis gyroscope with tuning fork drive effect. The three-axis gyroscope structure disclosed in the patent cleverly designs the steering structure. The left and right mass blocks are used to detect the Y / Z axis angular velocity, and the central mass block is used to detect the X axis angular velocity. However, it is obvious that its integration is not high, and the Y / Z mass blocks and the shared mass block are prone to coupling; continue to refer to Chinese invention patent CN110926445A, which discloses a three-axis MEMS gyroscope. The micro-gyroscope structure disclosed in the patent is shared drive. Its innovation lies in the novel design of the X / Y gyroscope structure, and the X / Y axis gyroscopes interact and are set in the middle of the drive frame and supported by the central anchor point. The Z axis gyroscopes are distributed on both sides of the X / Y gyroscopes and connected to the middle gyroscope structure. Its overall structural design is novel and reasonable, and its integration is high, but its Z axis gyroscope is not directly decoupled, and it may face the problems of low sensitivity and large orthogonal error.
[0007] Therefore, it is urgent to propose a new technical solution to solve the problems of low integration and large orthogonal error of the three-axis gyroscope in the prior art. [Summary of the invention]
[0008] One of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a three-axis gyroscope, which has the advantages of high integration and small orthogonal error.
[0009] According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a three-axis gyroscope, comprising: a first drive frame, which is located on the left side and is capable of performing resonant motion in the up and down directions along the Y-axis; a second drive frame, which is located on the right side, is parallel to the first drive frame and is spaced a predetermined distance apart from the first drive frame, and is capable of performing resonant motion along the Y-axis in the opposite direction to the first drive frame; an X / Y gyroscope structure connected between the first drive frame and the second drive frame; and a Z gyroscope structure connected to the outside of the first drive frame and the second drive frame; wherein the X / Y gyroscope structure and the Z gyroscope structure are independent of each other, and both the X / Y gyroscope structure and the Z gyroscope structure are driven jointly by the first drive frame and the second drive frame.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the X / Y gyro structure and the Z gyro structure of the three-axis gyroscope in the present invention are driven by the same two drive frames, and the X / Y gyro structure and the Z gyro structure are independent of each other. The overall structure of the three-axis gyroscope is reasonable and compact, and the integration is high. When sensing angular velocities in different directions, due to the Coriolis effect, the X / Y gyro structure and the Z gyro structure are independent of each other and do not affect each other, which can reduce orthogonal errors and improve detection accuracy.

[0030] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a three-axis gyroscope. Figure 1 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a three-axis gyroscope in one embodiment of the present invention; please refer to Figure 2 As shown, it is the present invention Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the X / Y gyro structure shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, it is the present invention Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the Z gyro structure is shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that Figure 1The three-axis gyroscope shown includes a first drive frame 1a, a second drive frame 1b, an X / Y gyro structure and a Z gyro structure. The first drive frame 1a is located on the left side, and it can perform resonant motion in the up and down directions along the Y axis.

Among them, the drive frames 1a and 1b are of the same thickness as the drive frame support beams 4a.1-4a.4, which are suspended structures, while the anchor points 5a.1-5a.4 are non-suspended structures, which are directly connected to the substrate to play a supporting role.
[0034] exist Figure 1-Figure 3 In the specific embodiment shown, the first drive frame 1a and the second drive frame 1b have the same structure and are arranged symmetrically about the Y axis (or symmetrically distributed left and right). The first drive frame 1a is connected to the first drive frame anchor points 5a.1 and 5a.3 through the first drive frame support beams 4a.1 and 4a.3 respectively, and the first drive electrodes 3a.1 to 3a.6 are arranged in sequence along the Y axis direction (or up and down direction) in the first drive frame 1a, and the first drive feedback electrode 3b.1 is located between two adjacent first drive electrodes 3a.3 and 3a.4. The second drive frame 1b is connected to the second drive frame anchor points 5a.2 and 5a.4 through the second drive frame support beams 4a.2 and 4a.4 respectively, and the second drive electrodes 3a.7 to 3a.12 are arranged in sequence along the Y axis direction (or up and down direction) in the second drive frame 1b, and the second drive feedback electrode 3b.2 is located between two adjacent second drive electrodes 3a.9 and 3a.10.

Figure 4Only one movement direction of the first driving frame 1a and the second driving frame 1b along the Y axis is given as an example. For a detailed scheme of applying a driving voltage to the driving electrode to drive the driving frame to perform resonant motion along the Y axis, reference can be made to the existing related technology and will not be described in detail in this article.
[0036] In one embodiment, the X / Y gyro structure comprises: a first X / Y driving coupling beam 4b.1, a second X / Y driving coupling beam 4b.2, a first mass block 2a, a second mass block 2b, a third mass block 2c and a fourth mass block 2d, four steering beam anchor points 5b.1 to 5b.4 and four steering beams 4d.1 to 4d.4. The first mass block 2a, the second mass block 2b, the third mass block 2c and the fourth mass block 2d are respectively arranged at four positions of the upper, lower, left and right of the center point A of the X / Y gyro structure, the first mass block 2a is arranged adjacent to the third mass block 2c and the fourth mass block 2d, the second mass block 2b is arranged adjacent to the third mass block 2c and the fourth mass block 2d, the third mass block 2c is connected to the first driving frame 1a through the first X / Y driving coupling beam 4b.1, and the fourth mass block 2d is connected to the second driving frame 2b through the second X / Y driving coupling beam 4b.2. Each steering beam 5b.1-5b.4 is connected to a corresponding steering beam anchor point 4d.1-4d.4, and two adjacent mass blocks are connected through a corresponding steering beam. When the first drive frame 1a performs resonant motion along the Y axis and the second drive frame 1b performs resonant motion in the opposite direction to the first drive frame 1a along the Y axis, the first drive frame 1a drives the third mass block 2c to perform resonant motion along the Y axis through the first X / Y drive coupling beam 4b.1, and the second drive frame 1b drives the fourth mass block 2d to perform resonant motion in the opposite direction to the third mass block 2c along the Y axis through the second X / Y drive coupling beam 4b.2. The third mass block 2c and the fourth mass block 2d drive the first mass block 2a to perform resonant motion along the X axis through the corresponding steering beams (for example, steering beams 4d.1 and 4d.2), and drive the second mass block 2b to perform resonant motion in the opposite direction to the first mass block 2a along the X axis through the corresponding steering beams (for example, steering beams 4d.3 and 4d.4). A certain number of damping holes may be provided on the mass blocks 2a-2d of the X / Y gyro structure to reduce damping and improve the quality factor and sensitivity of the gyro.

When the Y-axis angular velocity input is sensed, the first mass block 2a and the second mass block 2b will move in opposite directions along the Z-axis direction. The first Y-axis detection electrode 3c.1 detects the change in distance from the first mass block 2a, and the second Y-axis detection electrode 3c.2 detects the change in distance from the second mass block 2b. Specifically, after being sensitive to the Y-axis angular velocity, the capacitance of the first Y-axis detection electrode 3c.1 and the capacitance of the second Y-axis detection electrode 3c.2 increase and decrease respectively. The difference between the two is used to obtain the capacitance change caused by the Y-axis angular velocity, and then the input Y-axis angular velocity is obtained. When the X-axis angular velocity input is sensed, the third mass block 2c and the fourth mass block 2d move in opposite directions along the Z-axis direction, the first X-axis detection electrode 3d.1 detects the change in distance from the third mass block 2c, and the second X-axis detection electrode 3d.2 detects the change in distance from the fourth mass block 2d. Specifically, after being sensitive to the X-axis angular velocity, the capacitance of the first X-axis detection electrode 3d.1 and the capacitance of the second X-axis detection electrode 3d.2 increase and decrease respectively, and the difference between the two is used to obtain the capacitance change caused by the X-axis angular velocity, thereby obtaining the input X-axis angular velocity.

[0065] The present invention is described below Figure 1 The detection principle of the three-axis gyroscope shown.
[0066] 1. X / Y axis gyroscope detection principle
[0067] Please refer to Figure 4 As shown, it is the present invention Figure 1The schematic diagram of the structural state of the three-axis gyroscope when it is driven is shown. By applying a driving voltage, the first drive frame 1a and the second drive frame 1b on the left and right sides will produce reverse resonant motion along the Y-axis direction, which will drive the X / Y gyro structure to move. The specific process is that the first drive frame 1a and the second drive frame 1b drive the third mass block 2c and the fourth mass block 2d to produce reverse resonant motion in the up and down directions along the Y-axis direction through the X / Y drive coupling beams 4b.1 and 4b.2, and the third mass block 2c and the fourth mass block 2d will drive the first mass block 2a and the second mass block 2b to produce reverse resonant motion in the left and right (or horizontal) directions along the X-axis through the X / Y steering beams 4d.1 to 4d.4 arranged around, so that the first mass block 2a, the second mass block 2b, the third mass block 2c and the fourth mass block 2d move in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction as a whole.
[0068] Please refer to Figure 5 As shown, it is the present invention Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structural state of the three-axis gyroscope during X-axis detection is shown. When the X-axis angular rate input is sensitive, the Coriolis force generated by the Coriolis effect drives the third mass block 2c and the fourth mass block 2d to move in the opposite direction away from the surface along the Z-axis direction, and the X-axis detection electrodes 3d.1 and 3d.2 set under the third mass block 2c and the fourth mass block 2d are sensitive to the change in distance, and then the self-capacitance of the X-axis detection electrodes 3d.1 and 3d.2 will change accordingly, and the magnitude of the X-axis angular rate can be obtained by detecting the change in capacitance.
[0069] Please refer to Figure 6 As shown, it is the present invention Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structural state of the three-axis gyroscope during Y-axis detection is shown. When the Y-axis angular velocity input is sensitive, the Coriolis force generated by the Coriolis effect drives the first mass block 2a and the second mass block 2b to move in the opposite direction away from the surface along the Z-axis direction, and the Y-axis detection electrodes 3c.1 and 3c.2 arranged under the first mass block 2a and the second mass block 2b are sensitive to the change in distance, and then the self-capacitance of the Y-axis detection electrodes 3c.1 and 3c.2 will change accordingly, and the magnitude of the Y-axis angular velocity can be obtained by detecting the change in capacitance.
[0070] 2. Z-axis gyroscope detection principle
[0071] Please continue to refer to Figure 4As shown, by applying a driving voltage, the first driving frame 1a and the second driving frame 1b on the left and right sides are caused to perform reverse resonant motion along the Y-axis direction, which will drive the Z gyro structure to move. The specific process is that the first driving frame 1a and the second driving frame 1b drive the first Z detection frame 2g and the second Z detection frame 2h outside the first driving frame 1a and the second driving frame 1b to produce reverse resonant motion in the up-down direction along the Y-axis direction through the Z driving coupling beams 4c.1 and 4c.2. The first Z detection frame 2g and the second Z detection frame 2h are respectively provided with the first Z mass block 2e and the second Z mass block 2f. The first Z detection frame 2g and the second Z detection frame 2h will drive the first Z mass block 2e and the second Z mass block 2f to perform reverse resonant motion in the up-down direction along the Y-axis direction.
[0072] Please refer to Figure 7 As shown, it is the present invention Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structural state of the three-axis gyroscope during Z-axis detection is shown. When the Z-axis angular velocity input is sensitive, the Coriolis effect will generate a Coriolis force to drive the first Z mass block 2e and the second Z mass block 2f to move in the opposite direction along the X-axis direction, and the Z detection electrodes 3e.1 and 3e.2 respectively arranged inside the first Z mass block 2e and the second Z mass block 2f are sensitive to the change in distance, and then the capacitance of the Z detection electrodes 3e.1 and 3e.2 will change accordingly, and the magnitude of the Z-axis angular velocity can be obtained by detecting the change in capacitance.
[0073] In summary, in the three-axis gyroscope shown in the present invention, when the first driving frame 1a and the second driving frame 1b drive the masses 2a to 2f to move, the displacement of the masses 2a to 2f in the sensitive direction can be ignored and will not affect the angular velocity signal detection. When the angular velocity in different directions is sensitive, due to the Coriolis effect, the corresponding mass block moves without affecting other mass blocks, so that the three-axis gyroscope designed by the present invention can reduce the orthogonal error and improve the detection accuracy.
