Next, regarding the second embodiment of the present invention,
This will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. The same components as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted. The sensor 22 shown in FIG.
1 and a circuit component 1 for processing the detection signal of the detection unit 11.
4 are mounted on one surface 23 a of the circuit board 23. As shown in FIG. 5A, one surface 23a of the circuit board 23 is
A protective wiring 25 as a first shield connected to a regulator 24 which is a constant voltage power source is provided surrounding the vibration detection unit 11. Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, the circuit board 23 is a three-layer multi-layer board having an intermediate layer 23b. The intermediate layer 23b corresponding to the position where the vibration detection unit 11 is provided has a second protection layer for protecting the vibration detection unit 11 from noise.
A planar shield 26 is provided as a shield.
The planar shield 26 is connected to the protective wiring 25 provided on the one surface 23a by a through hole 27 that electrically connects the one surface 23a and the intermediate layer 23b, and thus the circuit component 1
4 is connected to the regulator 24. The protective wiring 25 and the planar shield 26 are applied to the same voltage as the reference voltage of the vibration sensor 11 by the regulator 24, and are not easily affected by the voltage fluctuation of other circuits.

As described above, in the sensor 22, the detection section 11, the electronic component 14 and the wiring thereof are particularly susceptible to external noise, for example, the vibration detection section 11 having high impedance and the protection wiring 25 and the planar shape. Since the external noise can be effectively shielded by shielding with the shield 26, the superposition of the external noise that affects the output signal of the sensor 22 can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a signal having a small S / N ratio with less mixing of external noise, so that the accuracy and resolution of the output signal of the sensor 22 are improved.

It is desirable that the protective wiring 25 be formed in a ring shape so as to completely surround a portion susceptible to the influence of external noise. However, if it is difficult to form a ring shape due to the wiring, a part of it is opened. It may be substantially circular. However, in this case, the effect of noise protection is slightly inferior to that of a perfect ring. Further, by providing through holes and wiring extending over both surfaces 23a, 23c of the multilayer substrate,
When mounting components such as c-circuit components are arranged, a wider mounting area can be obtained as compared with the sensor 8 of the first embodiment. Further, the entire surface of the intermediate layer 23b may be used as the planar shield 26, but if the planar shield 26 is provided at a necessary portion as in the present embodiment, the other portion can be utilized for wiring, and the circuit can be used. This is good because it increases the degree of freedom in design. The partial shield described in this embodiment can be applied to the circuit board 15 of the first embodiment.

The sensor 28 shown in FIG. 6 is provided with a protective wiring 29 so as to surround the vibration detecting unit 11, the temperature detecting unit 12, and the circuit component 14 mounted on the one surface 15a of the circuit board 15, and covers the one surface 15a to cover the case. A shield case 30 as a third shield having a shape is provided. As shown in FIG. 7A, the shield case 30 is partially electrically connected to the protective wiring 29, and the protective wiring 29 and the circuit board 15 electrically connected to the protective wiring 29 through the through hole 20.

When the circuit board 15 is housed in the sensor case 16 and the filling material 17 is filled between the circuit board 15 and the shield case 30 and the sensor case 16, the sensor case 16 and the shield case 30 should not be directly touched.

Since it is covered with 9, the shield case 30, and the planar shield 21, external noise can be effectively blocked.
Therefore, the external noise that affects the output signal of the sensor 28 is less mixed and a signal having a large S / N ratio can be obtained, so that the accuracy and resolution of the output signal of the sensor 22 are improved.
