Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of accelerometer component technology, and in particular to an etching time estimation device and method for a pendulum bridge. Background Technology

[0002] Two torque converter coils are symmetrically mounted on both sides of the quartz pendulum of the accelerometer to form a pendulum assembly, used to sense external acceleration. The thickness of the flexible bridge of the pendulum directly affects the accelerometer bias. Different types of accelerometers have different biases, corresponding to a certain range of pendulum bridge thickness. The level of control over the consistency of the pendulum bridge thickness determines the bias range of batch products. Therefore, the etching time needs to be evaluated before pendulum etching, and the bridge thickness needs to be measured before the bridge reaches the target thickness to determine the remaining etching time, thereby ensuring the range of pendulum bridge thickness during batch production.

[0003] Currently, the majority of steps in the oscillating etching process rely on manual labor. The consistency of the flat bridge thickness is highly dependent on the operator's experience, and the thickness measurement needs to be performed on a piece-by-piece basis. This mainly relies on measuring the sag of the central pendulum of a horizontally placed quartz piece, and then calculating the remaining etching time for the flat bridge using a conversion formula. However, since the flat bridge is only 20μm thick, the central pendulum is prone to wobbling after the oscillating piece is placed horizontally, making accurate measurement of the central pendulum position difficult and time-consuming. Furthermore, measuring the sag of the central pendulum using a horizontal placement method is significantly affected by the consistency of the central pendulum's dimensions. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the existing method for measuring the etching thickness of the oscillating flat bridge to enhance the control level of the flat bridge thickness and improve production quality.

[0045] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides an etching time estimation device for a planar bridge, the device comprising a fixing component 10, a thrust loading unit 20, a first pressure acquisition unit 30, and a data processing unit 40;

The push rod 231 of the servo motor is connected to the first end of the slider 22.

When the slider 22 is in the first preset position, the center pendulum 51 and the outer ring 52 of the pendulum plate are in the same plane. When the slider 22 is in the second preset position, the center pendulum 51 and the outer ring 52 of the pendulum plate 50 are in different planes.

[0048] The first end of the first pressure acquisition unit 30 is connected to the second end of the slider 22, and the second end is in contact with the center pendulum 51 of the pendulum plate.

The maximum thrust of the servo motor 23 is not higher than 50N, and the range of movement of the push rod 231 should be greater than the range of free axial movement of the slider 22.

[0062] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4As shown, in order to enable the slider 22 to stop in time after reaching the second preset position, the device also includes a second pressure acquisition unit 60, which is disposed on the second end face of the first limiting structure 24 facing the slider 22.
