This paper presents the design of a novel multi-ring vibratory gyroscope. The design incorporates two sets of rings, inner and outer, separated by a set of perforated inertial masses and connected to the outermost anchors by the means of springs. The structure’s performance is enhanced by utilizing springs with bends that play a significant role in reducing the device’s sensitivity to external shocks. The amalgamation of multiple rings with the C-shaped springs provides higher sensitivity with high shock resistance that makes this multi-vibrating ring gyroscope an ideal inertial sensor for space applications. Such a structure yields in-plane flexural modes that are utilized to sense rotation along the axis normal to the structure’s plane.

本文介绍了一种新型的多环振动陀螺仪的设计。该设计包括两组环，内环和外环，由一组穿孔的惯性质量隔开，并通过弹簧连接到最外层的锚。通过利用带有弯曲的弹簧来增强结构的性能，这些弹簧在降低设备对外部冲击的敏感性方面起着重要作用。C形弹簧将多个环融合在一起，可提供更高的灵敏度和较高的抗震性，这使得该多振动环陀螺仪成为太空应用的理想惯性传感器。这样的结构产生平面内弯曲模式，该平面内弯曲模式用于感测沿着垂直于该结构平面的轴的旋转。
