Description

[0002] MEMS gyroscope, i.e. micro-mechanical gyroscope, has been widely used in consumer electronics, automotive industry and aerospace due to its small size, low cost and high integration. With the increasing demand for performance of MEMS gyroscope, there is an increasing demand for low-cost, small-size and high-performance gyroscope.

[0003] Currently, typical MEMS gyroscope is mainly a capacitive resonant gyroscope, and its basic principle is to measure the energy conversion between different resonances caused by Coriolis force to obtain the size of angular velocity. The driving mode of the micro-mechanical gyroscope swings around the axis perpendicular to the mass block. When an angular velocity is applied, due to the Coriolis effect, the gyroscope will transfer energy to the detection mode, so that the mass block swings out of plane under the relative driving. The displacement of the mass block swinging out of plane can be detected to obtain the size of angular velocity. The micro-mechanical gyroscope for out-of-plane detection in the prior art has low energy efficiency on the one hand due to the single-end driving layout, and on the other hand, the weak coupling between each motion part cannot guarantee the consistency of the working amplitude of each motion part, resulting in reduced sensor detection accuracy.

[0040] Each swing component E includes a motion reversing member 21, one or a plurality of mass blocks 22 arranged along the X-axis direction, and one or a plurality of detection modules arranged along the X-axis direction, the motion reversing member 21 is connected to a second anchor point 25 through a second spring beam 24, the motion reversing member 21 has a degree of freedom of in-plane swing around the Z-axis direction, the mass block 22 is connected to a third anchor point 27 through a third spring beam 26, the mass block 22 has degrees of freedom of in-plane swing around the Z-axis direction and out-of-plane swing around the X-axis direction, the detection module corresponds to the mass block 22 one-to-one, the detection module includes a Coriolis force detection electrode 23, the Coriolis force detection electrode 23 detects the out-of-plane swing displacement of the corresponding mass block 22.

[0041] The adjacent driving frames 11 of the same gyro mechanism B are connected by a first coupling spring 31, which is a power reversing spring for converting the movement in the Y-axis direction into the movement in the X-axis direction. The adjacent driving frames 11 of different gyro mechanisms B are connected by a second coupling spring 32. The adjacent movement reversing members 21 of the same gyro mechanism B are connected by the power reversing spring through a first decoupling spring 33. The movement reversing member 21 and the mass 22 of the same swing assembly E are connected by a second decoupling spring 34. The adjacent masses 22 are connected by a third coupling spring 35. The masses 22 at the same end in the Y-axis direction are respectively connected to the same fifth coupling spring 37 through a fourth coupling spring 36.

[0042] In the reciprocating assembly D, the driving electrode 12 receives the driving signal provided by the peripheral circuit and drives the driving frame 11 to reciprocate along the Y-axis direction. The structure and layout of the first spring beam 13 ensure the freedom of the driving frame 11 in the Y-axis direction and inhibit the movement in other directions. The adjacent two driving frames 11 move in the opposite or the same direction.

[0043] The motion reversing component 21 in the swing assembly E is equivalent to a lever, one end of which is moved by the driving frame 11, and the other end of which drives the mass 22 to move, each detection module comprises two Coriolis force detection electrodes 23 arranged along the Y-axis direction and symmetric to the third anchor point, the Coriolis force detection electrodes 23 are connected to the external detection circuit through surface wiring or TSV process to output a differential signal, and are used to measure the sensitive signal of the applied angular velocity value, the structure and layout of the second spring beam 24 ensure the freedom of the motion reversing component 21 to move around the Z-axis direction and inhibit the movement in other directions, the structure and layout of the third spring beam 26 make the mass 22 easy to produce the freedom of movement around the Z-axis direction and the X-axis direction and inhibit the movement in other directions, the two adjacent motion reversing components 21 move in opposite directions, and the two adjacent masses 22 move in opposite directions. When the Y-axis direction of the first coupling spring 31 expands, the X-axis direction of the first coupling spring 31 contracts, and when the X-axis direction of the first coupling spring 31 expands, the Y-axis direction of the first coupling spring 31 contracts.

The fourth coupling spring 36 and the fifth coupling spring 37 can ensure that the masses 22 of different swing assemblies E move with the same amplitude and frequency, thereby effectively improving the detection precision of the Coriolis force signal.
