Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a silicon micro-accelerometer, in particular to a dual-axis silicon micro-accelerometer based on a three-degree-of-freedom weakly coupled resonator, and belongs to the technical field of micro-electromechanical systems and microfluid measurement. Background Art
[0002] Micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) is a tiny device that combines mechanical, electronic and computer technologies. It has the advantages of small size, light weight, low power consumption and low cost, and has been widely used in many fields. MEMS sensors are sensors manufactured based on MEMS processing technology, usually based on capacitive, piezoresistive, piezoelectric, photoelectric and resonant mechanisms.
[0003] In recent years, the weak coupling resonant sensing mechanism has begun to attract widespread attention due to its unique advantages. Compared with the traditional resonant sensing mechanism based on frequency output, the weak coupling resonant sensing mechanism converts the measured change into the change of the amplitude ratio of the weak coupling resonant system. It has the advantages of high relative sensitivity and good temperature stability, and is expected to be widely used in MEMS sensors.
[0004] In recent years, research institutions at home and abroad have begun to conduct some research on weakly coupled resonant sensors. The existing weakly coupled resonator stiffness sensors have been proven through comparative experiments that the higher the number of degrees of freedom of the coupled sensor, the higher the sensitivity increase based on the amplitude ratio output. Although weakly coupled resonators perform well in many applications, there is still the problem of inaccurate measurements in interference environments, and the poor stability of the mechanical structure of existing resonators can easily lead to measurement errors due to external interference. Summary of the invention
[0005] The technical purpose to be achieved by the present invention is to improve the stability and measurement accuracy of the dual-axis accelerometer by setting a resonator arrangement with a stable structure and coordinating the mechanical stability design of the amplification unit and the safety structure.
[0006] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: including a glass base and a silicon micromechanical sensor, wherein a raised common anchor point is arranged at the exact center of the glass base, and the silicon micromechanical sensor is connected to the glass base via the common anchor point. The common anchor point not only ensures that the sensor is subjected to uniform force during operation and reduces structural deviation caused by vibration or external impact, but also ensures that the signal electrodes are evenly distributed on the glass base, thereby achieving stable and rapid signal transmission; the glass base is covered with signal electrodes for transmitting signals.
[0007] Preferably, the silicon micromachined sensor includes a force-bearing base and a resonant module. The force-bearing base is mounted on the glass base, and the resonant module arranged in a "Y" shape is disposed thereon. The "Y" structure has a pair of perpendicular resonators on the base, which are respectively used to detect accelerations in the horizontal and vertical directions; a pair of perpendicular resonators are provided at the "Y" head of the resonant module, which are respectively used to detect accelerations in the horizontal and vertical directions.
[0008] Preferably, the resonant module includes a first resonator, a second resonator, and a third resonator. The first resonator and the second resonator are distributed at 90°, so that a coupling relationship is formed between the resonators. The signals are commonly referenced and complemented through a common anchor point, so that when the system is affected by an external acceleration, differential responses can be generated between different resonators, thereby improving the detection sensitivity to small displacement changes and helping to suppress environmental interference and system noise.
[0009] Further, the inner ends of both are connected to the third resonator through the common anchor point. The angles between the third resonator and the first resonator and the second resonator are respectively arranged at 135°; this angle setting not only makes the coupling effect more significant, but also enables more reasonable mechanical transmission and distribution, thereby improving the overall stability and measurement accuracy of the system.
[0010] Preferably, an amplification unit is connected to the outer ends of the first resonator and the second resonator.
[0011] The introduction of the amplification unit reduces the dependence on a high driving voltage, realizes low-power operation, and can maintain the advantages of high sensitivity and low noise in portable devices or long-term monitoring scenarios.
[0012] Preferably, the first resonator, the second resonator, and the third resonator have the same structure. The first resonator is composed of a first single-ended fixed resonant beam, a plurality of driving signal application structures, and a plurality of signal detection structures.
[0013] Among them, the driving signal application structures of the first resonator are symmetrically arranged inside the comb teeth of the first single-ended fixed resonant beam, and are inserted into the comb teeth of the first single-ended fixed resonant beam to form a driving capacitor plate group; the signal detection structures are symmetrically distributed outside the comb teeth of the first single-ended fixed resonant beam, and are inserted into the comb teeth of the first single-ended fixed resonant beam to form a detection capacitor plate group.
[0014] The capacitive comb-drive and detection structure, by combining high-sensitivity amplitude ratio signal extraction, reduces the driving voltage requirement, achieves low-power operation, and is suitable for portable devices or long-term monitoring scenarios. The present invention utilizes the capacitance effect to achieve a uniform electric field distribution through the interleaved arrangement of electrodes, enabling the driving signal to be accurately and efficiently applied to the resonant beam, thereby causing the desired mechanical vibration.
[0015] Symmetrically distributed outside the comb teeth of the fixed resonant beam, they are inserted into the comb teeth to form a detection capacitor plate group. Through this structural design, the tiny capacitance changes generated due to the vibration of the resonant beam can be sensitively captured, and then precise detection can be achieved by using the high-sensitivity amplitude ratio signal extraction technology.
[0016] Wherein, the outer end of the third resonator is connected with a third resonator anchor for connecting the outer end of the doubly-clamped resonant beam in the third resonator, and the inner end of the doubly-clamped resonant beam is connected to the common anchor.
[0017] Wherein, the inner ends of the first resonator and the second resonator are respectively provided with a first coupling trapezoidal beam and a second coupling trapezoidal beam for coupling and connecting the third resonator.
[0018] Further, the two ends of the first coupling trapezoidal beam are respectively connected to the first singly-clamped resonant beam of the first resonator and the doubly-clamped resonant beam of the third resonator, and the second coupling trapezoidal beam is respectively connected to the second singly-clamped resonant beam of the second resonator and the doubly-clamped resonant beam of the third resonator.
[0019] Preferably, the amplification unit includes a vertical force amplification unit and a horizontal force amplification unit, which have the same structure and are symmetrically connected to the outer ends of the first resonator and the second resonator respectively, and the vertical force amplification unit and the horizontal force amplification unit are arranged perpendicular to the first resonator and the second resonator respectively.
[0020] Preferably, both the vertical force amplification unit and the horizontal force amplification unit include a support anchor, an output straight beam, a lever, and an input straight beam; the support anchor is connected to the lever, the output straight beam is connected to one end of the lever close to the support anchor, and the input straight beam is connected to the other end of the lever far from the support anchor.
[0021] Preferably, the force-bearing base is rectangular and safety structures are provided at its four corners. The safety structures include fixed anchors and folding beams, and at least a pair of mutually perpendicular folding beams are connected to the inside of the fixed anchors.
[0022] Preferably, the signal electrode includes a common electrode, a driving signal electrode, and a detection signal electrode; the common electrode is connected to one lead-out electrode; a plurality of the driving signal electrodes and a plurality of the detection signal electrodes are respectively connected to a plurality of lead-out electrodes in sequence.
[0023] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. Through the design of orthogonally distributed resonators and force amplification units, the present invention can accurately measure vertical and horizontal biaxial accelerations simultaneously, broaden the application scenarios, and is suitable for multi-dimensional inertial force detection in complex motion environments. At the same time, through the differential measurement of the amplitude ratios of three groups, system noise is effectively suppressed. Combining with the amplitude-sensitive characteristics of weakly coupled resonators, sub-micron displacement resolution is achieved, and the detection ability of weak acceleration signals is improved.
[0024] 2. Through the design of four groups of symmetrically arranged safety structures and their folded beams, the present invention significantly improves the mechanical reliability of the sensor under impact or overload conditions, making the resonator structure have excellent anti-overload performance, thereby avoiding the fracture or permanent deformation of the resonant beam and extending the service life.

[0044] As Figure 4 and 5As shown, the vertical force amplification unit 3-1 and the horizontal force amplification unit 3-2 have exactly the same structure; the vertical force amplification unit 3-1 consists of a first support anchor 3-1-1, a first vertical force output straight beam 3-1-2, a first lever 3-1-3, and a first vertical force input straight beam 3-1-4; the first support anchor 3-1-1 is connected to the first lever 3-1-3, the first vertical force output straight beam 3-1-2 is connected to one end of the first lever 3-1-3 close to the first support anchor 3-1-1, and the first vertical force input straight beam 3-1-4 is connected to the other end of the first lever 3-1-3 far from the first support anchor 3-1-1.

[0046] The glass base and signal leads in this embodiment are as Figure 6 shown, the signal electrodes include a common electrode 6-7-1 and a common electrode lead-out electrode 6-8-1; the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth drive signal electrodes 6-4-1, 6-4-2, 6-4-3, 6-4-4, 6-5-1, 6-5-2, 6-5-3, 6-5-4, 6-6-1, 6-6-2, 6-6-3, 6-6-4; the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth detection signal electrodes 6-5-5, 6-5-6, 6-6-5, 6-6-6, 6-7-5, 6-7-6; the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth drive signal lead-out electrodes 6-1-1, 6-1-2, 6-2-1, 6-2-2, 6-3-1, 6-3-2; the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth detection signal lead-out electrodes 6-1-3, 6-1-4, 6-2-3, 6-2-4, 6-3-3, 6-3-4; In actual operation of this embodiment: when the force-receiving base of the sensor is subjected to an external vertical force (horizontal force), a force will be generated at the input end of the vertical force (horizontal force) input straight beam of the vertical force (horizontal force) amplification unit. After the action of the force amplification unit, the amplified force acts on the single-ended fixed resonant beam of the first (second) resonator, thereby causing a change in the stiffness of the first (second) single-ended fixed resonant beam. Since the first and second single-ended fixed resonant beams are respectively connected to the double-ended fixed resonant beam of the third resonator through the first and second coupling trapezoidal beams, the stiffness of the double-ended fixed resonant beam will also be changed accordingly. Finally, the change in the amplitude ratios of the first and second resonators, the first and third resonators, and the second and third resonators is caused. By measuring the three groups of amplitude ratios, the acceleration magnitude of the external inertial force received by the force-receiving base can be deduced inversely.
[0047] In the case of neglecting the system damping, according to its simplified mechanical dynamics model and Newton's law, the following simplified motion equation of the mass block of the resonant unit can be established: (1)
[0048] In the formula, 、 、 、 respectively represent the equivalent mass, equivalent stiffness, motion displacement, and exciting force of the mass block of the resonant unit, represents the coupling stiffness between the resonant units. The above equation can be simplified into matrix form: (2)
[0049] Among them, 、 、 、 respectively represent the mass matrix, stiffness matrix, exciting force matrix, and displacement matrix of the resonant system, and there are: (3)
[0050] (4)
[0051] (5)
[0052] (6)
[0053] In the case of free vibration, the mass blocks of all resonant units perform simple harmonic motion, and the equation has the following specific form of solution: (7)
[0054] Among them, and respectively represent the The natural frequency and phase of the displacement array of the amplitude vector of the and can be expressed as: (8)
[0055] Substituting formula (7) into (2) gives: (9)
[0056] For the vibration system, the amplitudes are not all zero, so there is: (10)
[0057] The above equation is the characteristic equation of the system. By solving the characteristic equation, the eigenvalues of the system, i.e., the values of the natural frequencies can be obtained. Then, substituting into equation (9), the eigenvector corresponding to can be obtained, which is the th natural vibration mode.
[0058] As can be seen from the above derivation, the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the weakly coupled resonant system are both related to the parameters of the mass matrix and the stiffness matrix. Therefore, on the premise that the equivalent mass parameters of the resonant unit are known, by applying different excitation forces, the th eigenvalues or th eigenvectors of the weakly coupled resonant system can be measured.
