Aiming at the problems in the prior art, the invention provides a three-axis gyroscope. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a three-axis gyroscope according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to fig. 2, which is a schematic structural diagram of the X/Y gyroscope structure shown in fig. 1 according to the present invention; fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of the Z-gyroscope structure shown in fig. 1 according to the present invention. As can be seen from fig. 2 and 4, the three-axis gyroscope shown in fig. 1 includes a first drive frame 1a, a second drive frame 1b, an X/Y gyro structure, and a Z gyro structure. The first driving frame 1a is located on the left side, and is capable of performing a resonant motion in the left-right direction (or horizontal direction) along the X-axis. The second driving frame 1b is positioned at the right side, parallel to and spaced apart from the first driving frame 1a by a predetermined distance, and is capable of performing a resonant motion along the X-axis in the opposite direction to the first driving frame 1 a. The X/Y gyro structure is connected between the first driving frame 1a and the second driving frame 1b, and is capable of sensing an X-axis angular velocity and a Y-axis angular velocity. The Z gyro structure is connected to the outside of the first driving frame 1a and the second driving frame 1b, and can sense a Z-axis angular velocity. The X/Y gyroscope structure and the Z gyroscope structure are independent of each other and are not directly connected with each other, and the X/Y gyroscope structure and the Z gyroscope structure are driven by the first driving frame 1a and the second driving frame 1b together. The three-axis gyroscope is reasonable and compact in structure and high in integration level. When the angular velocities in different directions are induced, the X/Y gyroscope structure and the Z gyroscope structure are independent from each other and do not influence each other due to the Coriolis effect, so that the orthogonal error can be reduced, and the detection precision is improved.

The specific process is that the first driving frame 1a and the second driving frame 1b drive the first Z detection frame 2g and the second Z detection frame 2h to generate reverse resonant motion in the left-right direction along the X-axis direction through the Z driving coupling beams 4c.1 and 4c.2, the first Z mass block 2e and the second Z mass block 2f are respectively arranged inside the first Z detection frame 2g and the second Z detection frame 2h, and the first Z detection frame 2g and the second Z detection frame 2h can drive the first Z mass block 2e and the second Z mass block 2f to generate reverse resonant motion in the left-right direction along the X-axis direction.
Please refer to fig. 8, which is a schematic diagram of the three-axis gyroscope of fig. 1 for Z-axis detection. When the Z-axis angular rate is input, the Coriolis effect can generate Coriolis force to drive the first Z mass block 2e and the second Z mass block 2f to move reversely along the Y-axis direction, Z detection electrodes 3e.1 and 3e.2 respectively arranged inside the first Z mass block 2e and the second Z mass block 2f are sensitive to the change of the distance, further the capacitance of the Z detection electrodes 3e.1 and 3e.2 can change along with the change, and the Z-axis angular rate can be obtained through the change of the detection capacitance.
In summary, in the three-axis gyroscope according to the present invention, when the upper driving frame 1a and the lower driving frame 1b drive the mass blocks 2a to 2f to move, the displacement of the mass blocks 2a to 2f in the sensitive direction is negligible, and the angular rate signal detection is not affected. When the gyroscope is sensitive to different direction angular rates, the corresponding mass blocks move due to the Coriolis effect without influencing other mass blocks, so that the triaxial gyroscope designed by the invention can reduce orthogonal errors and improve the detection precision.
