微机械惯性仪表包括机械陀螺仪(MMG)和微机械加速度计(MMA)。利用微电子加工工艺将微机械结构与所需的电子线路完全集成在一个硅片上,从而达到性能、价格、体积、重量、可靠性诸方面的高度统一。但要实现同时对加速度和角速率的测量,往往都需要采用陀螺仪和加速度计的组合,增加了系统的复杂度,不利于实现测量装置的小型化,同时也使总体成本上升,不利于检测设备的大规模应用。Micromachined inertial instruments include mechanical gyroscopes (MMG) and micromachined accelerometers (MMA). The micromechanical structure and the required electronic circuits are fully integrated on a silicon chip by using the microelectronic processing technology, so as to achieve a high degree of unity in terms of performance, price, volume, weight, and reliability. However, to achieve simultaneous measurement of acceleration and angular rate, it is often necessary to use a combination of gyroscope and accelerometer, which increases the complexity of the system, is not conducive to the miniaturization of the measurement device, and also increases the overall cost, which is not conducive to detection Large-scale application of equipment.

近年来,国内外有多家研究机构开始了对毛发式传感器的研究。荷兰特温特大学的G.J.M.Krijnen教授初步研发了一种毛发式传感器,通过顶部的聚合物毛发对流速进行敏感,可以实现对mm/s级风速的敏感。但是,目前大部分机构研发的毛发式传感器为流速传感器,只能实现对流体速度的测量,功能单一,且结构较为复杂,实用性较差。In recent years, a number of research institutions at home and abroad have started research on hair sensors. Professor G.J.M.Krijnen of the University of Twente in the Netherlands has initially developed a hair sensor, which is sensitive to the flow velocity through the polymer hair on the top, and can be sensitive to the mm/s wind speed. However, most of the current hair-type sensors developed by institutions are flow rate sensors, which can only measure the fluid velocity, have a single function, and have a relatively complex structure and poor practicability.

进一步的,加速度、流速检测梳齿由固定在外部框架上的梳齿组与固定在中部框架上的梳齿组对插组成。当毛发受到外界加速度或流体作用时,会带动外部框架绕着扭力梁偏转一定的角度,对于加速度、流速检测梳齿来说,固定在外部框架上的梳齿会跟随进行偏转,而固定在中部框架上的梳齿不会跟随偏转,这样他们构成的电容极板的重叠面积发生改变。外部框架上施加有静电电压,通过固定在外部框架上的梳齿对固定在中部框架上的梳齿产生负刚度效应,改变中部框架的固有频率,当梳齿之间的重叠面积发生改变时,中部框架的固有频率改变程度也发生变化。Further, the acceleration and flow velocity detection combs are composed of a comb set fixed on the outer frame and a comb set fixed on the middle frame. When the hair is subjected to external acceleration or fluid, it will drive the outer frame to deflect at a certain angle around the torsion beam. For the acceleration and flow velocity detection comb teeth, the comb teeth fixed on the outer frame will follow the deflection and be fixed in the middle. The combs on the frame do not follow the deflection so that the overlapping area of the capacitive plates they form changes. An electrostatic voltage is applied to the outer frame, and the comb teeth fixed on the outer frame have a negative stiffness effect on the comb teeth fixed on the middle frame, changing the natural frequency of the middle frame.

The angular velocity detection comb adopts a variable-pitch capacitive detection structure, and the movement from the Y direction will not affect the capacitance between the angular velocity detection comb plates. When the middle frame is driven correctly and there is an angular velocity input from the Z-axis, the inner frame will move in the X-axis direction, thereby changing the capacitance between the comb-tooth plates for angular velocity detection. By detecting the capacitance change, the input can be obtained The magnitude of the angular velocity.

如图1所示,本发明用于流速、加速度和角速度敏感的仿生毛发传感器,由上中下三层构成,上层为聚合物毛发、中层为硅微传感器结构、下层为制作在玻璃衬底上的信号引线。用于测量同一平面内沿着X轴方向的流速速度及加速度,以及Z轴方向输入的角速度,所述硅微传感器结构由外部框架6、两组对称的中部框架110以及两组对称的内部框架120组成。外部框架通过扭力梁4与固定在玻璃衬底上锚点5相连接。两个完全相同的中部框架110对称布置在外部框架5的内部,通过U型弹性梁103与固定在玻璃衬底上的锚点相连接,使得中部框架悬空在玻璃衬底之上。As shown in Figure 1, the bionic hair sensor used in the present invention is sensitive to flow velocity, acceleration and angular velocity. It consists of upper, middle and lower layers. signal leads. Used to measure the flow velocity and acceleration along the X-axis direction in the same plane, and the angular velocity input in the Z-axis direction, the silicon microsensor structure consists of an outer frame 6, two sets of symmetrical middle frames 110 and two sets of symmetrical inner frames 120 compositions. The external frame is connected with anchor points 5 fixed on the glass substrate through torsion beams 4 . Two identical middle frames 110 are symmetrically arranged inside the outer frame 5, and are connected to anchor points fixed on the glass substrate through U-shaped elastic beams 103, so that the middle frames are suspended above the glass substrate.
外部框架与中部框架之间布置有加速度、流速检测梳齿104、驱动梳齿101和驱动检测梳齿102,在图2中,流速检测梳齿104具体的标注为104a、104b、104c、104d,仅为了方便表达,这四个流速检测梳齿完全相同。驱动梳齿101具体标注为101a、101b、101c、101d;驱动检测梳齿具体标注为102a、102b、102c、102d。内部框架120通过U型梁105与中部框架110连接,图2中,U型梁105具体标注为105a、105b、105c、105d,同样也悬置在玻璃衬底之上。内部框架内侧布置有角速度检测梳齿106,具体标注为106a、106b、106c。Between the outer frame and the middle frame are arranged acceleration, flow velocity detection combs 104, drive combs 101, and drive detection combs 102.

上述结构如图1、2所示,整个结构关于中轴线对称。硅微传感器由外部框架6、中部框架110和内部框架120构成,中部框架通过U型弹性梁103与各自锚点相连接,固定在玻璃衬底上,由于U型梁在X方向为刚性,因此中部框架的运动被限制在Y方向上。The above structure is shown in Figures 1 and 2, and the entire structure is symmetrical about the central axis. The silicon microsensor is composed of an outer frame 6, a middle frame 110, and an inner frame 120. The middle frame is connected with respective anchor points through a U-shaped elastic beam 103 and fixed on a glass substrate. Since the U-shaped beam is rigid in the X direction, the Movement of the middle frame is restricted to the Y direction.
外部框架6与中部框架110之间布置有加速度、流速检测梳齿104a、104b、104c、104d、204a,加速度、流速检测梳齿由固定在外部框架上的梳齿与固定在中部框架上的梳齿对插组成。当有外部加速度或流体速度输入时,聚合物毛发3带动外部框架6扭转,加速度、流速检测梳齿中固定在中部框架上的梳齿不会跟随外框架扭转,故扭转时,加速度、流速检测梳齿的两部分梳齿(固定在外框架上的梳齿与固定在中部框架上的梳齿)之间的重叠面积会发生改变。Acceleration and flow velocity detection combs 104a, 104b, 104c, 104d, 204a are arranged between the outer frame 6 and the middle frame 110. The acceleration and flow velocity detection combs are formed by the combs fixed on the outer frame and the combs fixed on the middle frame. Composed of paired teeth. When there is an external acceleration or fluid velocity input, the polymer hair 3 drives the outer frame 6 to twist, and the comb teeth fixed on the middle frame in the acceleration and flow velocity detection combs will not follow the twist of the outer frame, so when twisting, the acceleration and flow velocity detection The overlapping area between the two parts of the comb teeth (the comb teeth fixed on the outer frame and the comb teeth fixed on the middle frame) will change.
外部框架与中部框架之间布置有驱动梳齿及驱动检测梳齿。驱动梳齿101a、101b、101c、101d由两个固定在玻璃衬底的锚点上的梳齿与其之间的固定在中部框架上的梳齿对插组成。两组驱动梳齿之间为驱动检测梳齿102a、102b,布置在中部框架的左右侧,结构与驱动梳齿完全相同,也是由与固定在玻璃衬底的锚点上的梳齿与固定在中部框架上的梳齿对插组成。中部框架110与内部框架120之间通过U型弹性梁105相连,内部框架在Y轴方向跟随中部框架一起运动,在X轴方向可独立左右运动。内部框架120内侧为角速度检测梳齿106a、106b、106c,角速度检测梳齿由固定在玻璃衬底上的锚点上的梳齿与固定在内部框架上的梳齿对插组成。A drive comb and a drive detection comb are arranged between the outer frame and the middle frame.

Between the two groups of drive combs are drive detection combs 102a, 102b, which are arranged on the left and right sides of the middle frame. The structure is exactly the same as that of the drive combs. The comb teeth on the middle frame are inserted into each other. The middle frame 110 and the inner frame 120 are connected by U-shaped elastic beams 105, the inner frame moves along with the middle frame in the Y-axis direction, and can move left and right independently in the X-axis direction. Inside the internal frame 120 are angular velocity detection combs 106a, 106b, 106c, which are composed of comb teeth fixed on anchor points on the glass substrate and comb teeth fixed on the internal frame.
其中一侧的结构如图2所示,陀螺仪被外部框架包围,外部框架上施加有电压U,于是加速度、流速检测梳齿中固定在外部框架上的梳齿便带有相同的电压。加速度、流速检测梳齿中固定在中部框架110上的梳齿将受到来自于外部框6架上的梳齿的静电力,由于静电力的吸引作用,极板发生了刚度软化,固有频率变小,且当外部框架跟随聚合物纤毛一起摆动时,加速度、流速检测梳齿之间的重叠面积发生改变,中部框架上的梳齿受到的静电力发生改变,受到的负刚度效应的程度也发生改变,于是固有频率的变化程度也发生改变。驱动梳齿101a、101b、101c、101d中每个固定在玻璃衬底的锚点上的梳齿都由上下两个固定梳齿组成,在上下两个固定梳齿上分别施加具有相同直流偏置的等幅反向的交流驱动电压,这样中部框架110在交流静电力的作用下作Y轴方向上的简谐运动。反馈梳齿102a和102b检测中部框架的运动状态,并将其反馈给驱动电路,驱动电路根据反馈信号调整驱动信号,使中部框架工作在谐振频率下。中部框架与内部框架通过U型梁105a、105b、105c、105d相连接。在内部框架110内侧,布置了三组检测梳齿106a、106b和106c,每组检测梳齿由两个反对称布置的差动电容检测梳齿构成,且电容检测梳齿由固定在玻璃衬底上的固定梳齿与固定在内部框架上的活动梳齿对插组成。The structure of one side is shown in Figure 2. The gyroscope is surrounded by the outer frame, and the voltage U is applied to the outer frame, so the comb teeth fixed on the outer frame of the acceleration and flow velocity detection combs carry the same voltage. The combs fixed on the middle frame 110 in the acceleration and flow velocity detection combs will receive the electrostatic force from the combs on the outer frame 6. Due to the attraction of the electrostatic force, the rigidity of the plate will soften and the natural frequency will become smaller. , and when the outer frame swings with the polymer cilia, the overlapping area between the acceleration and flow velocity detection comb teeth changes, the electrostatic force on the comb teeth on the middle frame changes, and the degree of the negative stiffness effect also changes , so the degree of change in the natural frequency also changes. Each of the driving combs 101a, 101b, 101c, and 101d fixed on the anchor point of the glass substrate is composed of two fixed combs, and the same DC bias is applied to the upper and lower fixed combs. The constant amplitude and reverse AC driving voltage, so that the middle frame 110 performs simple harmonic motion in the Y-axis direction under the action of the AC electrostatic force. Feedback combs 102a and 102b detect the movement state of the middle frame and feed it back to the driving circuit, and the driving circuit adjusts the driving signal according to the feedback signal to make the middle frame work at the resonant frequency. The middle frame is connected with the inner frame through U-shaped beams 105a, 105b, 105c, 105d. Inside the internal frame 110, three sets of detection combs 106a, 106b, and 106c are arranged, each set of detection combs is composed of two antisymmetrically arranged differential capacitance detection combs, and the capacitance detection combs are fixed on the glass substrate It is composed of the fixed comb teeth on the upper part and the movable comb teeth fixed on the internal frame.
通过采用传感器阵列的形式,实现对加速度与流体速度检测的区分,将一部分传感器密封封装,另一部分正常与外界接触,当外界为流体环境时,密封封装的传感器的毛发不会受到流体作用,而没有进行密封的传感器将会受到作用;当外界输入为加速度输入时,则所有传感器均会受到作用而产生扭转。By adopting the form of sensor array, the distinction between acceleration and fluid velocity detection is realized. Part of the sensor is sealed and packaged, and the other part is in normal contact with the outside world. When the outside world is a fluid environment, the hair of the sealed and packaged sensor will not be affected by the fluid. Sensors that are not sealed will be affected; when the external input is acceleration input, all sensors will be affected and twist.

本发明用于流速、加速度和角速度敏感的仿生毛发传感器,采用双边静电驱动,电容检测的工作方式。在驱动输入引线607和608上施加具有相同直流偏置的等幅反向的交流驱动电压,在对称一侧的驱动输入引线上施加相反的电压,则两个中部框架110工作在同频反向状态,梳齿电容在x轴即驱动方向受到的静电驱动力为:The invention is used for a bionic hair sensor sensitive to flow velocity, acceleration and angular velocity, and adopts the working mode of bilateral electrostatic drive and capacitance detection. On the driving input leads 607 and 608, an equal amplitude and reverse AC driving voltage with the same DC bias is applied, and an opposite voltage is applied to the driving input leads on the symmetrical side, then the two middle frames 110 work at the same frequency and reverse state, the electrostatic driving force on the comb capacitor on the x-axis, that is, the driving direction, is:
式中,n为谐振器的活动梳齿数,ε为介电常数,h为结构的厚度,d0为梳齿间距,Vd为驱动电压的直流偏置电压,Va为交流电压,ωd为交流电压的角频率。where n is the number of active comb teeth of the resonator, ε is the dielectric constant, h is the thickness of the structure, d0 is the distance between the comb teeth, Vd is the DC bias voltage of the driving voltage, Va is the AC voltage, ωd is the angular frequency of the AC voltage.
两个子结构100是图1中虚线框内的结构,具体来说,图2中的结构为一个子结构100,两个子结构对称设置,由于两个子结构100的驱动梳齿电容为反对称布置,因此,作用在两个子结构100上的静电驱动力方向相反。The two substructures 100 are structures within the dotted line box in FIG. 1. Specifically, the structure in FIG. 2 is a substructure 100, and the two substructures are arranged symmetrically. Since the driving comb capacitors of the two substructures 100 are arranged antisymmetrically, Therefore, the directions of the electrostatic driving forces acting on the two substructures 100 are opposite.
因此子结构中的中部框架110在静电驱动力的作用下,在Y轴作反向简谐线振动。当驱动交流电压的频率与陀螺仪驱动模态的固有频率一致时,线振动位移为:Therefore, the middle frame 110 in the substructure vibrates in reverse simple harmonic line on the Y axis under the action of the electrostatic driving force. When the frequency of the driving AC voltage is consistent with the natural frequency of the gyroscope driving mode, the linear vibration displacement is:
式中,Fd0为静电力驱动力幅值,kx为X方向的弹性刚度,Qx为驱动模态的品质因数线振动速度为:In the formula, Fd0 is the amplitude of the driving force of the electrostatic force, kx is the elastic stiffness in the X direction, and Qx is the quality factor of the driving mode. The linear vibration velocity is:
当陀螺仪有绕Z轴的外界输入角速率ωz时,根据右手定则,检测质量在输出轴(X轴)受到哥氏加速度的作用,其大小为:When the gyroscope has an external input angular rate ωz around the Z axis, according to the right-hand rule, the detection mass is affected by the Coriolis acceleration on the output axis (X axis), and its magnitude is:
式中,为输入角速率和线振动速度之间右旋夹角。In the formula, is the right-handed angle between the input angular rate and the linear vibration velocity.
设内部框架质量为ms,则作用在检测质量上的哥氏惯性力为:Assuming that the mass of the internal frame is ms , the Coriolis inertial force acting on the detection mass is:
哥氏惯性力的方向与哥氏加速度方向相反,因此,作用在内部框架120上的哥氏惯性力的方向相反。在哥氏惯性力的作用下,内部框架120沿着敏感轴(X轴)做相向简谐振动。这样,使得活动敏感梳齿与固定敏感梳齿之间的间隙按一定的简谐振动规律变动,电容差值信号经电子线路处理后,可获得输出电压信号。梳齿电压信号为两个子结构100的电压信号之和,且输出电压信号的大小正比于输入角速率的大小。通过鉴相器比较输出电压信号与激励信号的相位关系,则可判明输入角速率的方向。The direction of the Coriolis inertial force is opposite to the direction of the Coriolis acceleration, therefore, the direction of the Coriolis inertial force acting on the inner frame 120 is opposite. Under the action of Coriolis inertial force, the inner frame 120 performs simple harmonic vibration in opposite directions along the sensitive axis (X axis). In this way, the gap between the movable sensitive comb and the fixed sensitive comb changes according to a certain law of simple harmonic vibration, and the output voltage signal can be obtained after the capacitance difference signal is processed by the electronic circuit. The comb voltage signal is the sum of the voltage signals of the two substructures 100, and the magnitude of the output voltage signal is proportional to the magnitude of the input angular rate. By comparing the phase relationship between the output voltage signal and the excitation signal through the phase detector, the direction of the input angular rate can be determined.
当陀螺仪被驱动起来时,反馈梳齿会检测到陀螺的固有频率变化,从而反馈到驱动电路上,对驱动电压进行调整从而使陀螺工作在谐振频率上。When the gyroscope is driven, the feedback comb will detect the change of the natural frequency of the gyroscope, which will be fed back to the driving circuit, and the driving voltage will be adjusted so that the gyroscope works at the resonant frequency.
外部框架6上被施加电压U,当传感器有沿X轴方向的加速度或者有流速作用于聚合物毛发3时,产生的力矩会带动外部框架绕着扭力梁4扭转,此时,由于中部框架在Z轴方向是没有自由度的,所以加速度、流速检测梳齿104a、104b、104c、104d、104e、104f中,与中部框架相连的极板保持不动,与外部框架所连接的极板会跟随转动,此时加速度、流速检测梳齿间的重叠面积发生改变,故与中部框架110相连的梳齿所受的来自于外部框架上的梳齿的静电力发生改变,根据静电负刚度效应,由于静电力改变,所以产生的等效负刚度改变,中部框架的固有频率改变。当存在静电负刚度时,谐振频率变为:A voltage U is applied to the outer frame 6. When the sensor has an acceleration along the X-axis direction or a flow velocity acts on the polymer hair 3, the generated torque will drive the outer frame to twist around the torsion beam 4. At this time, because the middle frame is in the There is no degree of freedom in the Z-axis direction, so in the acceleration and flow velocity detection combs 104a, 104b, 104c, 104d, 104e, and 104f, the pole plates connected to the middle frame remain stationary, and the pole plates connected to the outer frame will follow At this time, the overlapping area between the acceleration and flow velocity detection combs changes, so the electrostatic force received by the combs connected to the middle frame 110 from the combs on the outer frame changes. According to the electrostatic negative stiffness effect, due to The electrostatic force changes, so the resulting equivalent negative stiffness changes, and the natural frequency of the middle frame changes. When electrostatic negative stiffness is present, the resonant frequency becomes:
其中,k为梳齿原机械刚度,ke为静电力负刚度效应作用下的梳齿机械刚度,fe为静电力负刚度效应作用下的谐振频率。通过反馈梳齿对驱动谐振频率的检测,从而可以得出毛发偏转的角度,通过计算可得知加速度或流速速度的大小。Among them, k is the original mechanical stiffness of the comb, ke is the mechanical stiffness of the comb under the negative stiffness effect of the electrostatic force, and fe is the resonant frequency under the negative stiffness effect of the electrostatic force. Through the detection of the drive resonance frequency by the feedback comb teeth, the angle of hair deflection can be obtained, and the acceleration or flow velocity can be obtained through calculation.
