Method for adjusting an inertial sensor component by means of a calibration device, calibration device, base device and inertial sensor component

A method for adjusting an inertial sensor component using a calibration device, wherein the inertial sensor component includes at least one micromechanical sensor element and a housing having a main extension plane, each having an upper side and a lower side extending substantially in parallel with the main extension plane, and each having side surfaces extending substantially perpendicularly to the main extension plane, wherein the housing surrounds or encloses the micromechanical sensor element, and wherein the calibration device includes a base device or the base device is connected to the calibration device, the method comprising the following steps:

• in a first step for adjusting the inertial sensor component, positioning and/or aligning the housing of the inertial sensor component relative to the base device that is arranged in the calibration device and connected thereto;
• and
• in a second step following the first step, adjusting and/or calibrating the base device and the inertial sensor component using the calibration device by applying a defined acceleration in at least one spatial direction and/or a defined rotation rate in at least one spatial direction;
• wherein the positioning and/or alignment of the housing of the inertial sensor component relative to the base device is realized using a fixing element that is movable relative to the base device in a fixing direction, wherein using the fixing element, a part of a particular side surface of the housing of the inertial sensor component, the part extending perpendicularly to the fixing direction, is pressed against the base device, wherein, in the course of the first step, a first positioning element of the housing of the inertial sensor component is pressed against a second positioning element of the base device using the fixing element or due to a movement of the fixing element, wherein the first positioning element being located on the particular side surface of the housing;
• wherein the particular side surface of the housing has:
• (i) a first snapline region extending substantially along the lower side of the housing and/or has a second snapline region extending substantially along the upper side of the housing, and
• (ii) a break edge region extending substantially in a central region of the particular side surface of the housing between the upper side and the lower side.

An inertial sensor component, comprising:

• at least one micromechanical sensor element;
• and
• a housing, wherein the inertial sensor component is adjusted using a calibration device, the housing having a main extension plane, each of the micromechanical sensor element and the housing having an upper side and a lower side extending substantially in parallel with the main extension plane, and each having side surfaces extending substantially perpendicularly to the main extension plane, wherein the housing surrounds or encloses the micromechanical sensor element, and wherein the calibration device includes a base device or the base device is connected to the calibration device, the inertial sensor component being adjusted by:
• in a first step for adjusting the inertial sensor component, positioning and/or aligning the housing of the inertial sensor component relative to the base device that is arranged in the calibration device and connected thereto;
• and
• in a second step following the first step, adjusting and/or calibrating the base device and the inertial sensor component using the calibration device by applying a defined acceleration in at least one spatial direction and/or a defined rotation rate in at least one spatial direction.
