Description

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

1. Field of Invention

The present invention relates to a novel silicon micromechanical gyroscope, which is used in control technology field to measure pose measurement of a rotating body, such as aerobat, motor tire and drilling platform, wherein the novel silicon micromechanical gyroscope main includes a sensing element and a signal process circuit.

2. Description of Related Arts

At present, in control technology field, piezoelectric gyroscope and optical-fibre gyroscope have some disadvantages like, bulked volume and high cost. Micromechanical gyroscope is widespread in the market. However, the micromechanical gyroscope exist in the market is of intermediate grade or low grade precision, and the high grade precision micromechanical gyroscope is still in research. The shortcoming of the micromechanical gyroscope existed in the international market is that the existed micromechanical gyroscope still has a drive conformation, which is complex in structure and craft, high cost and bulk volume.

SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

A main object of the present invention is to provide a novel silicon micromechanical gyroscope without a drive conformation to mostly achieve purposes like minify in craft, simply in structure and reduced in volume so as to effectively lower cost and save energy.

Accordingly, in order to accomplish the above objects, the basic idea of the present invention is provided a novel silicon micromechanical gyroscope, which is able to replace a drive force from the drive conformation with a rotating force from the rotation of the rotating body so as to achieve a novel silicon micromechanical gyroscope without a drive conformation.

FIG. 1 of the drawings illuminates a schematic diagram of the novel silicon micromechanical gyroscope, which comprises a rectangle silicon slice and an elastic twist beam to hang the rectangle silicon slice on a packaging chamber, in which the silicon slice can rotate freely.

A rotating angle α of the silicon slice is detected by a differential capacitor, which has a first pair of polar plates electrical connected to the silicon slice, and a second pair of polar plates electrical connected to the packaging chamber. The silicon slice and the elastic twist beam are made of corroded silicon.

The novel silicon micromechanical gyroscope is provided at the rotating body to rotate along a longitudinal shaft vertically defined to the silicon surface in an angular velocity {dot over (φ)}, and rotate along a horizontal shaft of an aerobat in an angular velocity Ω. Silicon manufacture is a mature technology, and the silicon can be manufactured in quantity.

The torsional rigidity factor K_T of the elastic twist beam should be considered in the novel silicon micromechanical gyroscope. As the same time, the output signal of the angular velocity and the rotating angular of the gyroscope (from the rotation of the rotating body) both will influence the measure precision of the novel silicon micromechanical gyroscope. Hence, from a motion equation of the novel silicon micromechanical gyroscope, we can learn that when a coordinate system XYZ is set up, a preliminary result comes out once the torsional rigidity factor K_T input, ignoring other rotating body's angular velocity. The motion equation is

B{umlaut over (α)}+D{dot over (α)}+[(C−A){dot over (φ)}²+K_T]α=(C+B−A){dot over (φ)}Ω sin {dot over (φ)}t   □1□

In above equation, A, B, C respectively represents a rotating inertia of the gyroscope sensing element according to X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis, wherein D represents dynamic damp factor.

The stationary state solution of equation (1) is

$\begin{array}{cc}\alpha =\frac{\left(C+B-A\right)\stackrel{.}{\varphi }\Omega }{\sqrt{{\left[\left(C-A-B\right){\stackrel{.}{\varphi }}^2+K_T\right]}^2+{\left(D\stackrel{.}{\varphi }\right)}^2}}\sin \stackrel{.}{\varphi }t& \mathrm{•2•}\end{array}$

In an angular velocity measurement, the oscillation amplitude α_m of the gyroscope sensing element is

$\begin{array}{cc}{\alpha }_m=\frac{\left(C+B-A\right)\stackrel{.}{\varphi }}{\sqrt{{\left[\left(C-A-B\right){\stackrel{.}{\varphi }}^2+K_T\right]}^2+{\left(D\stackrel{.}{\varphi }\right)}^2}}\Omega & \mathrm{•3•}\end{array}$

In above equation, the torsional rigidity factor K_T is a denominator. Hence, a great instability parameter (such as a rotational angular velocity {dot over (φ)} of rotating body) will influence the output signal, even under a resonance mode, here, the dynamic viscosity factor is

$\mu =\frac{C}{A+B}=1$

Therefore, according to the measure precision come out, we need some else strategies to choice a new gyroscope parameter for the novel silicon micromechanical gyroscope. First, we need pay more attention to the physical characteristics and manufacture technology of the silicon. The relationship between the rotary inertia and the elastic twist factor should meet the fellow equation

(C−A−B){dot over (φ)}²□ K_T   □4□

It is worth to mention that because of the stability of the damp factor D is less than that of the elastic factor K_T, the parameter in the equation (3) should be met

K_T<D{dot over (φ)}  □5□

What's more, this above parameter relationship hardly achieved because of the damp factor D increases only when the distance between the silicon slice and the electrical polar is reduced so as to reduce the tangent value between the most deviate angular of the silicon slice and the corresponding output curve. Hence, during a parameter initialization,

K_T>D{dot over (φ)}  □6□

Therefore, the denominator in equation (3) is decided by the elastic factor of the silicon slice of the gyroscope.

However, the output signal of the novel silicon micromechanical gyroscope and the rotational speed of the rotating body in a direct ratio so that the output signal is instability. In actually practice, for overcoming above drawback, a differential angular velocity measurement is provided to achieve the output signal frequency to count the constant {dot over (φ)}. Alternatively, a microprocessor is provided in the gyroscope to count the constant {dot over (φ)}. Therefore, the novel silicon micromechanical gyroscope maybe not in a resonance mode, but should be in an advance disresonance mode to avoid other dynamic error.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the single crystal silicon slice of the novel silicon micromechanical gyroscope. In FIG. 2, α₀, α₁, α₂, α₃ represent dimension in X-axis, b1, b2, b3 represent dimension in Y-axis, and h is the thickness of the single crystal silicon slice. And, A, B, C respectively represents

$\begin{array}{cc}A=\frac{\rho }{12}\left[\begin{array}{c}{a}_3b_3h\left(b_3^2+h^2\right)-a_2b_2h\left(b_2^2+h^2\right)-\\ a_1\left(b_3-b_1\right)h\left[\begin{array}{c}\frac{1}{4}{\left(b_3-b_1\right)}^2+h^2+\\ \frac{3}{4}{\left(b_3+b_1\right)}^2\end{array}\right]\end{array}\right]& \mathrm{•7•}\\ B=\frac{\rho }{12}\left[\begin{array}{c}{a}_3b_3h\left(a_3^2+h^2\right)-a_2b_2h\left(a_2^2+h^2\right)-\\ a_1\left(b_3-b_1\right)h\left(a_1^2+h^2\right)\end{array}\right]& \mathrm{•8•}\\ C=\frac{\rho }{12}\left[\begin{array}{c}{a}_3b_3h\left(b_3^2+a_3^2\right)-a_2b_2h\left(b_2^2+a_2^2\right)-\\ a_1\left(b_3-b_1\right)h\left[\begin{array}{c}\frac{1}{4}{\left(b_3-b_1\right)}^2+a_1^2+\\ \frac{3}{4}{\left(b_3+b_1\right)}^2\end{array}\right]\end{array}\right]& \mathrm{•9•}\end{array}$

In above equation, ρ is the density of the single crystal silicon slice.

Due to h<<a₁, a₂, a₃, b₁, b₂, b₃ and the torsional rigidity factor of the elastic twist beam of the single crystal silicon slice K_T is great, (C−A−B ){dot over (φ)}²<<K_T.

From the above, we can learn that a well designed structure of the novel silicon micromechanical gyroscope could stabilize the output signal. The amplitude figure of output signal α relates to the rotating angular velocity {dot over (φ)} of the rotating body, which could be achieved by measuring the angular vibrate signal frequency. From α and {dot over (φ)}, a pitch or roll angular velocity Ω can be counted. Additional, if {dot over (φ)} is amplified by a amplify circuit, Ω and α would vary in a linearity.

According to above theories, the novel silicon micromechanical gyroscope, can be driven by the measured rotating body' rotary force, instead of driven by force from a drive conformation of the conventional gyroscope. This gyroscope is able to measure the rotating body's rotation angular velocity, pitch angular velocity and roll angular velocity.

FIG. 3 illustrates a signal achieve process of the present invention. When the single crystal silicon slice vibrates in an angular frequency {dot over (φ)}, the variation of the deviation angular α will lead the change of four condensers C1□C2□C3□C4 made of single crystal silicon slice and ceramics electrical polar board. The condenser vary signal is transferred into a voltage vary signal and then the voltage vary signal is amplified to a AC voltage signal, which relates to α and Ω. As the capacity variation of the novel silicon micromechanical gyroscope is little and easily impacted by the distributed capacity, an AC bridge circuit is used as an interface transfer circuit. A capacitance sensing element is used as the working arm of the AC bridge circuit, and a HF square wave is used as the carrier wave. Once the capacity is vary, an adjust output signal is received from the AC bridge circuit. Been amplified and restituted, the LF output signal is output. The signal process circuit mainly comprises a source voltage regulator, a reference voltage source, a square wave signal generating circuit, a bridge circuit, a bridge circuit signal differential amplifier, a band pass wave filter, a LP wave filter, a phase amendment circuit, a polar choice switch and a SCM circuit.

In the present embodiment, the silicon slice frame 10 is a rectangular flat frame. The silicon slice 11 is a rectangular flat vibrate mass. The silicon slice 11 has the area less than that of the silicon slice frame 10, and has the thickness less than that of the silicon slice frame 10.
