Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to gyroscopes, and particularly to a MEMS gyroscope. Background Art
[0002] Micro-machined gyroscopes, namely MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical systems) gyroscopes, are typical micro angular velocity micro sensors. Due to their advantages such as small size, low power consumption, and convenient processing, they have very wide applications in the consumer electronics market. In recent years, with the gradual improvement of gyroscope performance, they have been widely used in fields such as automobiles, industries, and virtual reality.
[0003] The MEMS out-of-plane oscillating gyroscope is a typical representative of MEMS out-of-plane detection gyroscopes. The driving mode of the MEMS out-of-plane oscillating gyroscope in the related art oscillates around the axis of the anchor point. When an angular velocity Ω is applied, due to the Coriolis effect, the gyroscope transfers energy to the detection mode, causing the mass structure to oscillate out-of-plane relative to the driving. The magnitude of Ω can be obtained by detecting the displacement of the out-of-plane oscillation. However, the detection capacitance of this kind of MEMS out-of-plane oscillating gyroscope is small and the sensitivity is low. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Embodiments
[0027] The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0028] Refer to Figure 1 As shown, it is defined that the positive direction of the X-axis of the three-dimensional coordinate system with the center point of the substrate 1 as the origin points to the right, the positive direction of the Y-axis points upward, and the positive direction of the Z-axis points to the outside of the X and Y planes.
[0029] As Figure 1As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a MEMS gyroscope, which includes a substrate 1, a first unit 2 and a second unit 3. The first unit 2 and the second unit 3 are oppositely arranged on the substrate 1 along a first direction. In this embodiment, the first direction is defined as the X-axis direction. The first unit 2 and the second unit 3 adopt a symmetric layout, which can effectively suppress various common-mode interference signals and facilitate differential detection. The first unit 2 and the second unit 3 are connected by an elastic connecting member such as a coupling spring 4. A driving electrode 5 and a detection electrode 6 are also provided on the substrate 1. In some embodiments, the driving electrode 5 is symmetrically arranged between the first unit 2 and the second unit 3, and the detection electrode 6 is symmetrically arranged outside the first unit 2 and the second unit 3 (that is, on the side facing away from each other) and corresponds to the first unit 2 and the second unit 3. Among them:
[0030] The first unit 2 includes a first mass 7 and a second mass 8 that are oppositely arranged along a second direction. In this embodiment, the second direction is defined as the Y-axis direction. The MEMS gyroscope further includes a first set of coupling structures arranged on opposite sides of the first mass 7 and the second mass 8 along the second direction. The first set of coupling structures is connected to the first mass 7 and the second mass 8 through a first set of elastic beams 17 to realize the movement of the first mass 7 and the second mass 8 in the X-axis direction and the swing with the Y-axis as the axis direction.
[0031] The second unit 3 includes a third mass 9 and a fourth mass 10 that are oppositely arranged along a second direction. The MEMS gyroscope further includes a second set of coupling structures arranged on opposite sides of the third mass 9 and the fourth mass 10 along the second direction. The second set of coupling structures is connected to the third mass 9 and the fourth mass 10 through a second set of elastic beams 18. The coupling structures of the first set of coupling structures and the second set of coupling structures that are opposite to each other along the first direction are all connected by a coupling spring 4 to realize the movement of the third mass 9 and the fourth mass 10 in the X-axis direction and the torsion with the Y-axis as the axis. Among them, the first mass 7 and the third mass 9 are oppositely arranged along the X-axis direction, and the second mass 8 and the fourth mass 10 are oppositely arranged along the X-axis direction. Preferably, the structures and sizes of the first mass 7, the second mass 8, the third mass 9, and the fourth mass 10 are the same.
[0032] The MEMS gyroscope provided by the present invention is a symmetric structure along the first direction and / or the second direction. Preferably, the structure of the MEMS gyroscope involved in this embodiment is a completely symmetric structure along the X-axis and the Y-axis.
[0033] The MEMS gyroscope provided in this embodiment has at least two modes: a driving mode (the mass moves horizontally) and a detection mode (the mass swings out of the plane).
[0034] The driving mode is that the first mass block 7 and the third mass block 9 move in opposite directions along the x-axis simultaneously, and the second mass block 8 and the fourth mass block 10 move in opposite directions along the X-axis simultaneously. The principle is as follows: When an alternating current is applied to the driving electrode 5 and a direct current is applied to the mass block, and when the alternating current is positive, a repulsive force is generated between the driving electrode 5 and the mass block. When the alternating current is negative, an attractive force is generated between the driving electrode 5 and the mass block. Therefore, when an alternating current is applied to the driving electrode 5 and a direct current is applied to the mass block, it will cause the first mass block 7 and the third mass block 9 to move in opposite directions along the X-axis simultaneously, and the second mass block 8 and the fourth mass block 10 to move in opposite directions along the X-axis simultaneously.
[0035] In the driving mode, due to the symmetric difference design of the first mass block 7, the second mass block 8, the third mass block 9, and the fourth mass block 10, the movement directions of the two mass blocks are anti-phase, which is differential driving. It can effectively improve the stability of the gyroscope driving, and improve the quality factor and mechanical sensitivity of the gyroscope.
[0036] Through an external driving force, the gyroscope is driven to vibrate in the driving mode vibration mode. At this time, when the gyroscope is subjected to an angular velocity ω in the Y-axis direction, according to the Coriolis principle, the angular velocity ω will generate a resultant Coriolis force in the Z-axis direction, and the resultant Coriolis force will force the gyroscope to generate a vibration in the Y-axis detection mode vibration mode. Finally, by detecting the vibration displacement of the gyroscope in the Z-axis direction, the magnitude of the angular velocity ω can be obtained.
[0037] Furthermore, the driving electrodes 5 are symmetrically arranged between the first unit 2 and the second unit 3. Active driving interdigital fingers 19 are provided on the inner sides of the first mass block 7, the second mass block 8, the third mass block 9, and the fourth mass block 10. The active driving interdigital fingers 19 and the fixed driving interdigital fingers on the driving electrode 5 form a driving capacitance. The driving capacitance receives the driving signal provided by the peripheral circuit and generates the external driving force required to force the gyroscope to vibrate in the driving mode vibration mode.
[0038] Furthermore, a plurality of detection electrodes 6 correspond to the outer sides of the first unit 2 and the second unit 3 along the first direction and are respectively arranged at intervals with the first mass block 7, the second mass block 8, the third mass block 9, and the fourth mass block 10 to form a detection capacitance. The detection capacitance detects the vibration displacement of the gyroscope in the detection mode vibration direction, thereby obtaining the magnitude of the angular velocity ω.

Preferably, the structures and dimensions of the first coupling structure 11, the second coupling structure 12, the third coupling structure 13, the fourth coupling structure 14, the fifth coupling structure 15, and the sixth coupling structure 16 are the same. In some embodiments, the cross-sections of the first coupling structure 11, the second coupling structure 12, the third coupling structure 13, the fourth coupling structure 14, the fifth coupling structure 15, and the sixth coupling structure 16 in the X, Y plane are regular octagons.
