Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of micromechanical structures, and in particular to an accelerometer. Background Art

[0002] An accelerometer is an instrument that measures the linear acceleration of a vehicle. Figure 1 As shown, the seesaw type out-of-plane accelerometer mainly includes a base (not shown), a sensor unit arranged on the base, and an anchor point 201 fixed to the base and located at the same level as the sensor unit. The sensor unit mainly includes a torsion spring 202 fixed between the anchor points and a test mass block 203. When the accelerometer is subjected to out-of-plane (Z direction) acceleration, the asymmetric test mass block 203 (M1) along the rotation axis 204 drives the torsion spring 202 to rotate around the rotation axis 204, which will cause an out-of-plane displacement in the area 205 corresponding to the capacitor plate. By placing a capacitor plate in the area 205 corresponding to the capacitor plate above or below it to form a differential capacitor, the acceleration change can be obtained by detecting the capacitance change. Figure 2 As shown, due to the asymmetric structure of the accelerometer, that is, its mass center 206 is not located on the rotation axis 204, it will produce in-plane (X direction) swing under the action of X direction acceleration.

[0003] In response to the above problems, Murata's patent application (US20200018777A) discloses a structure using two seesaws, in which the main body of the rotating test mass is on the seesaw structure, and a rigid body is added to the outside as a coupling structure, and as a linear mass, when the out-of-plane acceleration acts, the linear mass moves linearly in the out-of-plane direction. This structure sets the detection plate far away from the axis of rotation, ensures the gain of the rotation to the capacitance change, eliminates the swing along the X-axis direction (IP1 axis direction), but cannot suppress the rotation of the two seesaws in the same direction around the Z axis (OP axis) and the rotation in the same direction around the X axis (IP1 axis).

[0004] ADI's patent application (US20200132716A1) discloses a multi-axis accelerometer whose out-of-plane accelerometer adopts a butterfly structure, that is, the inner coupling structure realizes the motion coupling of the two seesaw structures, which can suppress the in-plane rotation of a single seesaw structure and the same-direction rotation around the rotation axis. Compared with Murata's structure, it does not have a linear test mass for linear motion of the Z axis as an outer coupling structure, so its ability to suppress the reverse motion of the two seesaw structures around the Z axis is poor.

[0005] In summary, the accelerometer in the related art cannot convert all the displacement of the out-of-plane capacitor substrate into linear displacement, which results in poor linearity of acceleration detection of the accelerometer. Summary of the invention
