Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oscillation technology, specifically a high-stability differential crystal oscillator. Background Technology
[0002] Differential oscillators are important electronic components. Their working principle is based on positive feedback and oscillation circuits. They generate stable oscillation signals by continuously amplifying small disturbances in the circuit. These signals have wide applications in electronic systems. After manufacturing, differential oscillators require temperature testing to check their performance and ensure reliable use at the end. Improving the temperature testing performance of ultra-high frequency differential products has become an urgent market demand. Currently, the temperature testing performance of most ultra-high frequency differential products on the market is not good, exhibiting irregular jumps across various temperature frequency bands. Although these products can function normally at room temperature, performance degrades when exposed to external temperature changes, affecting product usability. Furthermore, during use, external vibrations, impacts, or thermal expansion and contraction can cause oscillator displacement, leading to inconsistencies in the differential signal, resulting in signal interference or loss and affecting the overall performance of the equipment. To address these issues, the inventors propose a high-stability differential crystal oscillator to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] like Figure 1-7As shown, this utility model provides a high-stability differential crystal oscillator, including a PCB circuit board 1, an oscillator limit protection component 2 is provided on one side of the top of the PCB circuit board 1, a differential crystal oscillator component 3 is provided in the oscillator limit protection component 2, and a limit bolt 4 is provided on one side of the top of the PCB circuit board 1 to cooperate with the oscillator limit protection component 2.
[0021] The differential crystal oscillator assembly 3 includes a base 31, inside which a differential chip 32 and a quartz crystal assembly 33 are respectively provided, and the quartz crystal assembly 33 is placed above the differential chip 32. The differential chip 32 is connected to the gold-plated layer at the bottom of the base 31 by gold wire, and the quartz crystal assembly 33 together generate an oscillation circuit to output a differential signal. A metal cover plate 34 is provided at the top of the base 31, and two sets of symmetrically distributed limiting grooves 35 are opened on the outer wall of the base 31.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the quartz crystal assembly 33 and the differential chip 32 are installed in the base 31, and the metal cover plate 34 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 31 to achieve physical protection of the quartz crystal assembly 33 and the differential chip 32, thereby reducing the influence of external interference on the oscillation signal.
[0023] The oscillator limit protection component 2 includes a base 21, which is fixedly mounted on the PCB circuit board 1. Two symmetrically distributed fixing blocks 22 are fixedly provided at the top end of the base 21 away from the limit bolt 4. A support arm 23 is rotatably provided on the fixing block 22. A flip cover 24 is rotatably provided on the outer wall of the support arm 23. Two symmetrically distributed limit blocks 25 that cooperate with the base 31 are fixedly provided at the bottom end of the flip cover 24 near the fixing block 22. A limit frame 26 that cooperates with the support arm 23 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the flip cover 24 near the limit bolt 4.
[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the flip cover 24 is closed, which causes the limiting block 25 to fit against the base 31 and vertically limit the base 31.
[0025] The quartz crystal assembly 33 includes a crystal body 331, with a large elliptical electrode 332 plated on the upper surface of the crystal body 331 and a small elliptical electrode 333 plated on the lower surface of the crystal body 331.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, setting two sets of elliptical electrodes of different sizes helps to improve the frequency stability of the crystal oscillator under different temperature and environmental conditions and reduce interference between resonant modes.
[0027] The flip cover 24 is fixedly provided with a circular groove 27 at the end away from the fixing block 22, which is used to cooperate with the limit bolt 4.
[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting bolt 4 limits the fixing block 22 through the circular groove 27.
[0029] Both sides of the inner wall of the base 21 are fixed with arc-shaped blocks 28 that cooperate with the limiting groove 35.
[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, the base 21 is laterally limited by the arc-shaped block 28 on the base 31.
[0031] The pins of the differential chip 32 are connected to the gold-plated layer of the base 31 by gold wire bonding.
[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, the differential chip 32 and the gold-plated layer of the base 31 are efficiently connected by gold wire bonding.
[0033] The quartz crystal assembly 33 is bonded and fixed inside the base 31 with conductive adhesive, and the differential chip 32 is bonded and fixed to the bottom of the base 31 with conductive adhesive.
[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, the quartz wafer assembly 33 and the differential chip 32 are respectively fixedly installed in the base 31.
[0035] The base 31 is made of ceramic material, and the metal cover 34 is welded to the opening on the top of the base 31 by parallel welding encapsulation technology.
[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, the metal cover plate 34 is fixedly welded to the top of the base 31.
[0037] Working principle: First, place the base 31 in the base 21 so that the limiting groove 35 corresponds to the arc block 28, thereby limiting the base 31 laterally. Then, flip the flip cover 24 so that the circular groove 27 contacts the limiting bolt 4. Then, rotate the support arm 23 so that the support arm 23 is slightly lower than the limiting frame 26. Push the end of the support arm 23 into the limiting frame 26 so that the support arm 23 enters the limiting frame 26. The limiting frame 26 limits the support arm 23. During the rotation, the support arm 23 will push the flip cover 24 forward so that the limiting block 25 fits against the corresponding upper surface and outer wall of the base 31, thereby limiting the base 31 vertically for the second time.
[0038] The two layers of electrodes coated on the upper and lower surfaces of the wafer body 331 are changed from traditional square electrodes to elliptical electrodes. The elliptical electrodes not only increase the electrode area and reduce the crystal oscillator resistance, but also reduce the resistance fluctuation with temperature changes. This matches the differential chip 32, allowing the differential chip 32 to have a more stable resistance input under different temperature environments, thereby making the final output frequency more stable under different temperatures and improving the temperature measurement jump point of the product. The two elliptical electrodes are set as a large elliptical electrode 332 and a small elliptical electrode 333. During fine adjustment, because the upper electrode surface needs to be etched, if the upper and lower electrode surfaces are the same size, the silver layer on the upper and lower electrode surfaces will be inconsistent. When the external temperature changes, due to the inconsistent silver layer, the upper and lower silver layers shrink differently due to temperature changes, making the crystal oscillator oscillate unstable. By using upper and lower electrodes of different sizes, with the upper electrode being larger, the increased part of the silver layer on the upper electrode just cancels out the amount of etching for fine adjustment, thereby making the amount of silver layer on the upper and lower electrode surfaces the same, making the temperature measurement frequency more stable.
[0039] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
