Description
Full decoupling three-axis MEMS gyroscope and electronic product TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The embodiment of the disclosure belongs to the technical field of gyroscope, and particularly relates to a full decoupling three-axis MEMS gyroscope and electronic product. BACKGROUND
[0002] The MEMS gyroscope is a kind of micro angular velocity sensor made by micro mechanical processing technology and microelectronic technology.
[0003] The MEMS out-of-plane swing gyroscope is a typical representative in the MEMS out-of-plane detection gyroscope. The driving mode of the MEMS swing gyroscope swings around the axis of the vertical mass block. When the angular velocity Omega is applied, due to the Coriolis effect, the gyroscope will transfer energy to the sensitive mode, so that the vibration disc swings out of plane relative to the driving. The size of Omega can be obtained by detecting the displacement of the out-of-plane swing.
[0004] In the prior art, the X / Y detection mass block is arranged in the center, and the Z detection mass block and the driving part are arranged outside the X / Y detection mass block, which results in low Coriolis force conversion efficiency of the X / Y mass block and low chip area utilization rate.

For the X / Y detection mass block, the Z detection mass block is arranged where the Coriolis conversion rate of the XY detection mass block is low, improving the Coriolis conversion rate of the X / Y detection mass block, maximizing the utilization of chip area, reducing chip size and cost while maintaining the same performance. By setting the Z decoupling mass block, the displacement of the Z detection mass block can be eliminated in the driving mode, making the Z detection mode completely decoupled from the X / Y detection mode, effectively reducing coupling error. The decoupling of Z detection from the Z mass block ensures that Z detection only has displacement in the detection mode, effectively reducing orthogonality error and improving the detection accuracy of the gyroscope. The Z decoupling mass block can greatly reduce the displacement at the Z detection electrode in the driving mode, reducing interference terms in the detection value and improving the accuracy of gyroscope detection. The gyroscope in this embodiment has a high ratio of shared mass between drive and detection, which effectively improves the conversion of Coriolis force and enhances the sensitivity of the gyroscope.

[0047] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the embodiments of the present disclosure are further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0048] In order to facilitate the description of the full decoupling three-axis MEMS gyroscope of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a three-dimensional coordinate system of x-y-z axes is established, and the three directions are respectively the x-axis direction, the y-axis direction, and the z-axis direction (i.e. the out-of-plane direction) perpendicular to the x-axis and the y-axis, wherein the plane on which the x-axis and the y-axis are located is defined as the reference plane.
[0049] As shown in FIG. 1, an aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure provides a full decoupling three-axis MEMS gyroscope, comprising a substrate (not shown in the figure), an X / Y detection mass 1, a plurality of Z detection masses 2, a plurality of driving structures 3 and a plurality of Z decoupling masses 4 fixed on the substrate respectively, wherein the X / Y detection mass 1 is annularly arranged outside the plurality of Z detection masses 2, the plurality of driving structures 3 and the plurality of Z decoupling masses 4. It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the X / Y detection mass is a one-piece structure, and the X / Y detection mass is annularly arranged outside the plurality of Z detection masses 2, the plurality of driving structures 3 and the plurality of Z decoupling masses 4 as a whole.
[0050] The plurality of Z detection masses 2 are arranged opposite to each other along the x-axis direction. The plurality of driving structures 3 are arranged opposite to each other along the x-axis direction outside the plurality of Z detection masses 2. The plurality of Z decoupling masses 4 are arranged opposite to each other along the x-axis direction inside the plurality of Z detection masses 2. Among them, the X / Y detection mass 1 is elastically connected with the driving structure 3 adjacent thereto, each Z detection mass 2 is elastically connected with the driving structure 3 adjacent thereto, and the Z decoupling mass 4 is elastically connected with the Z detection mass 2 adjacent thereto.
[0051] It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the X / Y detection mass is a one-piece structure, and the X / Y detection mass is annularly arranged outside the plurality of Z detection masses 2, the plurality of driving structures 3 and the plurality of Z decoupling masses 4 as a whole.
[0052] The full decoupling three-axis MEMS gyroscope of the present embodiment adopts an optimal arrangement, the X / Y detection mass 1 is annularly arranged at the outermost side, the driving structure 3 and the Z detection mass 2 are arranged inside the annulus, and the advantages are: for the Z detection mass 2, the detection mode and the driving mode are both in-plane translation, and the arrangement of the X / Y detection mass 1 inside or outside the annulus does not affect the Coriolis effect conversion. For the X / Y detection mass 1, the in-plane and out-of-plane rotation mode, the Coriolis force formula is , it can be seen from the formula that the larger the radius, the greater the Coriolis force, so the X / Y detection mass 1 has high Coriolis conversion rate on the outer side and low Coriolis conversion rate on the inner side. Based on this, the Z detection mass 2 is arranged at the low Coriolis conversion rate position of the X / Y detection mass 1, so as to maximize the use of the chip area, reduce the chip size under the same performance, and reduce the cost.
[0053] It needs to be further explained that in the embodiment, the number of the Z detection mass 2 is two, the two Z detection masses 2 are oppositely arranged along the x axis and located in the central region of the substrate. The number of the driving structure 3 is two, as shown in FIG. 1, the two driving structures 3 are oppositely arranged along the x axis and respectively located on the outer side of the Z detection mass 2. The number of the Z decoupling mass 4 is four, every two Z decoupling masses 4 are distributed as a group, and the two groups of Z decoupling masses 4 are oppositely arranged along the x axis and respectively located on the inner side of the Z detection mass 2.
[0054] Among them, the number of the Z detection mass 2, the driving structure 3 and the Z decoupling mass 4 is not specifically limited in the embodiment and can be selected according to actual needs.
[0055] Specifically, the fully decoupled three-axis MEMS gyroscope in the embodiment has four working modes, which are driving mode, x-axis detection mode, y-axis detection mode and z-axis detection mode.
[0056] Among them, when detecting angular velocity, the fully decoupled three-axis MEMS gyroscope will first make the gyroscope in the driving mode. As shown in FIG. 6, in the driving mode, one of the two driving structures 3 translates along the positive direction of the y axis, and the other driving structure 3 translates along the negative direction of the y axis, that is, the directions of motion of the two driving structures 3 are opposite (the directions of motion of the two driving structures 3 are shown by black arrows in FIG. 6). At this time, the two driving structures 3 will drive the two Z detection masses 2 adjacent thereto to move along the positive direction of the y axis and the negative direction of the y axis respectively in two opposite directions, and the two driving structures 3 will drive the X / Y detection mass 1 to rotate, wherein the directions of motion of the X / Y detection mass 1 and the Z detection mass 2 are shown by white arrows in FIG. 6.
[0057] In the driving mode, the Z detection mass 2 moves along the y axis direction with the driving structure 3, and the Z detection mass 2 is elastically connected with the Z decoupling mass 4 through the third coupling beam 12 and the second guide beam 19 in the shape of “U” respectively. The stiffness of the third coupling beam 12 and the second guide beam 19 in the y axis direction is much larger than that in the x axis direction, so the displacement of the Z decoupling mass 4 in the driving mode is much smaller than that of the Z detection mass 2. Therefore, by arranging the Z decoupling mass, the displacement of the Z detection mass can be eliminated in the driving mode.
[0058] As shown in FIG. 7, when the full decoupled tri-axis MEMS gyroscope is subjected to an angular velocity in the x-axis direction, the X / Y detection mass 1 is subjected to a Coriolis force in the Z-axis direction (as shown by the arrow in FIG. 7), which excites the x-axis detection mode, so that the X / Y detection mass 1 produces out-of-plane vibration displacement along the Z-axis (i.e., vibration displacement out of the reference plane) on the opposite sides of the X / Y detection mass 1 in the x-axis direction. By detecting the out-of-plane vibration displacement of the X / Y detection mass 1 in the z-axis direction on the opposite sides of the X / Y detection mass 1 in the x-axis direction, the angular velocity of the full decoupled tri-axis MEMS gyroscope around the x-axis can be obtained.
[0059] As shown in FIG. 8, when the full decoupled tri-axis MEMS gyroscope is subjected to an angular velocity in the y-axis direction, the X / Y detection mass 1 is subjected to a Coriolis force in the Z-axis direction (as shown by the arrow in FIG. 8), which excites the y-axis detection mode, so that the X / Y detection mass 1 produces out-of-plane vibration displacement along the Z-axis (i.e., vibration displacement out of the reference plane) on the opposite sides of the X / Y detection mass 1 in the y-axis direction. By detecting the out-of-plane vibration displacement of the X / Y detection mass 1 in the z-axis direction on the opposite sides of the X / Y detection mass 1 in the y-axis direction, the angular velocity of the full decoupled tri-axis MEMS gyroscope around the y-axis can be obtained.
[0060] As shown in FIG. 9, when the full decoupled tri-axis MEMS gyroscope is subjected to an angular velocity in the z-axis direction, the Z detection mass 2 is subjected to a Coriolis force in the X-axis direction (as shown by the arrow in FIG. 9), which excites the z-axis detection mode. Under the action of the Coriolis force in the x-axis direction, the Z detection mass 2 and the Z decoupling mass 4 produce in-plane vibration displacement along the X-axis (i.e., vibration displacement in the reference plane). By detecting the in-plane vibration displacement of the Z detection mass 2 and the Z decoupling mass 4 in the x-axis direction, the angular velocity of the full decoupled tri-axis MEMS gyroscope around the z-axis can be obtained.
[0061] The full decoupling three-axis MEMS gyroscope of the embodiment of the present disclosure, by arranging the X / Y detection mass block ring outside the Z detection mass block, the driving structure and the Z decoupling mass block, for the Z detection mass block, the detection mode and the driving mode are both in-plane translation, which does not affect the Coriolis effect conversion; for the X / Y detection mass block, the Z detection mass block is arranged at the place where the XY mass detection block has low Coriolis conversion rate, which improves the Coriolis conversion rate of the X / Y detection mass block, maximizes the use of chip area, reduces the chip size under the same performance, and reduces the cost. By setting the Z decoupling mass block, the displacement of the Z detection mass block under the driving mode can be eliminated, so that the Z detection mode and the X / Y detection mode are fully decoupled, and the coupling error is effectively reduced; the Z detection and the Z mass block decoupling are used to make the Z detection have displacement only under the detection mode, effectively reducing the orthogonal error and improving the detection accuracy of the gyroscope; the Z decoupling mass block can greatly reduce the displacement of the Z detection electrode under the driving mode, reduce the interference term of the detection value, and improve the accuracy of the gyroscope detection. The gyroscope of the embodiment has high common mass ratio of driving and detection, effectively improves the conversion of Coriolis force, and improves the sensitivity of the gyroscope.
[0062] For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the X / Y detection mass blocks are symmetrically distributed with respect to the x-axis direction and the y-axis direction. Specifically, the shapes of the upper and lower parts of the X / Y detection mass block are the same, and the shapes of the left and right parts of the X / Y detection mass block are also the same.
[0063] The plurality of Z detection mass blocks 2 arranged oppositely are symmetrically distributed with respect to the y-axis direction, and each Z detection mass block 2 is symmetrically distributed with respect to the x-axis direction. Specifically, in the embodiment, the two Z detection mass blocks 2 are symmetrically distributed with respect to the y-axis direction.
[0064] The plurality of driving structures 3 arranged oppositely are symmetrically distributed with respect to the x-axis direction and the y-axis direction. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, in the embodiment, two driving structures 3 are oppositely distributed along the x-axis direction, wherein each driving structure 3 includes two driving members 31, and the two driving members 31 are symmetrically distributed along the y-axis direction, that is, the four driving members 31 are symmetrically distributed with respect to the x-axis direction and the y-axis direction.
[0065] The plurality of Z decoupling mass blocks 4 arranged oppositely are symmetrically distributed with respect to the x-axis direction and the y-axis direction. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the number of Z decoupling mass blocks 4 is four, and every two Z decoupling mass blocks 4 are distributed above and below as a group, and the two groups of Z decoupling mass blocks 4 are oppositely arranged along the x-axis direction, that is, the four Z decoupling mass blocks 4 are symmetrically distributed with respect to the x-axis direction and the y-axis direction.
[0066] The full decoupling three-axis MEMS gyroscope in the embodiment adopts symmetrical layout for the X / Y detection mass and the gyro sensitive mass, which facilitates differential detection. The gyroscope is differentially driven, which can effectively improve the stability and impact resistance of the gyroscope drive. The xyz three-axis detection modes of the gyroscope can realize anti-phase vibration, so that the differential detection of the gyroscope can be realized, and the influence of acceleration impact and orthogonal error can be effectively eliminated. In addition, the drive and detection share a mass with a high proportion, which effectively improves the conversion of Coriolis force and improves the sensitivity of the gyroscope.
[0067] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the full decoupling three-axis MEMS gyroscope further includes a plurality of X / Y detection out-of-plane electrodes 5, a plurality of Z detection in-plane electrodes 6, and a plurality of in-plane drive electrodes 7.
[0068] The plurality of X / Y detection out-of-plane electrodes 5 are arranged on the side of the X / Y detection mass 1 away from the substrate along the x-axis direction and the y-axis direction. Specifically, in the embodiment, the number of X / Y detection out-of-plane electrodes 5 is four, which are arranged on the upper and lower sides and the left and right sides of the X / Y detection mass 1. The four X / Y detection out-of-plane electrodes are symmetrically distributed with respect to the x-axis direction and the y-axis direction.
[0069] The Z detection in-plane electrodes 6 are arranged on the side of the corresponding Z decoupling mass 4 away from the substrate. Specifically, in the embodiment, the number of Z detection in-plane electrodes 6 is four, which are arranged on the upper part of the corresponding Z decoupling mass 4. The four Z detection in-plane electrodes 6 are symmetrically distributed with respect to the x-axis direction and the y-axis direction.
[0070] The in-plane drive electrodes 7 are arranged on the side of the corresponding drive structure 3 away from the substrate. Specifically, in the embodiment, the number of in-plane drive electrodes 7 is four, which are arranged on the upper part of the corresponding drive member 31. The four in-plane drive electrodes 7 are symmetrically distributed with respect to the x-axis direction and the y-axis direction.
[0071] The full decoupling three-axis MEMS gyroscope of the embodiment adopts symmetrical distribution for the X / Y detection out-of-plane electrodes 5, the Z detection in-plane electrodes 6, and the in-plane drive electrodes 7, and the actual working state is opposite motion, which facilitates differential detection.
[0072] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, when the full decoupling three-axis MEMS gyroscope is subjected to angular velocity in the x-axis direction, the X / Y detection mass 1 is subjected to the action of the z-axis Coriolis force, which excites the x-axis detection mode, and the X / Y detection mass 1 generates vibration displacement along the z-axis. At this time, the X / Y detection out-of-plane electrodes 5 arranged on the upper side of the opposite two sides of the X / Y detection mass 1 along the x-axis direction detect the vibration displacement of the opposite two sides of the X / Y detection mass 1 in the z-axis direction, and then the angular velocity of the gyroscope around the x-axis is obtained.
[0073] As shown in FIG. 8, when the full decoupled triaxial MEMS gyroscope is subjected to an angular velocity in the y-axis direction, the X / Y detection mass 1 is subjected to a Coriolis force in the z-axis direction, exciting the y-axis detection mode, and the X / Y detection mass 1 generates a vibration displacement along the z-axis. At this time, the X / Y detection surface-outside electrodes 5 arranged above the relative two sides of the X / Y detection mass 1 in the y-axis direction detect the vibration displacement of the relative two sides of the X / Y detection mass 1 in the z-axis direction, and the angular velocity of the mechanical gyroscope around the y-axis is obtained.
[0074] As shown in FIG. 9, when the full decoupled triaxial MEMS gyroscope is subjected to an angular velocity in the z-axis direction, the Z detection mass 2 is subjected to a Coriolis force in the x-axis direction, exciting the z-axis detection mode, and the Z detection mass 2 generates a vibration displacement along the x-axis. At this time, the Z detection surface-inside electrodes 6 arranged above the Z decoupled mass 4 detect the vibration displacement of the Z detection mass 2 along the x-axis, and the angular velocity of the gyroscope around the z-axis is obtained.
[0075] For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the full decoupled triaxial MEMS gyroscope further comprises a first coupling beam 8, a second coupling beam 9, and a first connecting beam 10.

[0077] Specifically, in the embodiment, the number of the first coupling beams 8 is 4, which are respectively clamped between the Z detection mass 2 and the driving member 31. The four first coupling beams 8 are symmetrically distributed with respect to the x-axis direction and the y-axis direction, respectively. The number of the first coupling beams 8 can be selected according to actual needs, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment. The first coupling beam 8 is a flexible beam and has elasticity.
