Abstract
A horizontal and tuning fork vibratory microgyroscope is provided for detecting angular velocity and angular acceleration of an inertial object when the inertial object is rotated, wherein resonance directions of the microgyroscope are on the same horizontal plane in both sensing and driving modes. The microgyroscope includes a substrate, an anchored pad unit, an outer elastic element unit, an outer frame, a sensing electrode unit, an inner elastic element unit including a plurality of inner elastic elements connected to the inside of the outer frame, an inner weighted element unit including a pair of first and second inner weighted elements each having a driven comb, and a driven electrode unit including a comb drive forming a comb structure.

7191653 - Tuning fork vibratory MEMS gyroscope - Owned by Samsung Electro-Mechanics Co., Ltd. (Kyungki-Do,KR)

A tuning fork vibratory MEMS gyroscope for sensing angular velocity and angular acceleration generated due to the rotation of a movable body. The tuning fork vibratory MEMS gyroscope includes an external fixed support portion formed on a substrate; a plurality of external elastic members; first and second external frames respectively including driving combs; first and second driving electrodes respectively including comb drivers; first and second internal elastic members respectively including a plurality of spring members; first and second internal frames respectively including sensing combs; and first and second sensing electrodes respectively including comb sensors. The tuning fork vibratory MEMS gyroscope withstands a noise at a peripheral area, is driven at the external portions of internal frames, is sensed at the internal portions of the internal frames, and comprises the elastic members having a wine glass shape, thereby being more stably operated.
