Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent resonance as well as erroneous operations owing to hammering and quick braking by providing a moving member one end of which is fitted onto an elastic member and the other end of which is equipped with a magnet, and thereby providing the second case covering the first case, which is equipped with an attracting section capable of attracting the moving member in an initial condition. CONSTITUTION:When a car collides against some thing with a definite deceleration, a thin stainless sheet 13 is deflected downward by a moving member 14 equipped with a magnet 17 against attracting force acting between the second case 15 and the magnet 17, which causes air to flow into the inside of the second case 15 from the inside of the first case 11 through a plurality of communication holes 13c formed in the thin stainless sheet 13 in such a way that a contact point at the moving side of the lower section 14a of the moving member 14 comes in contact with paired stationary contact points 12 against viscous damping resistance developed by the communication of air so that a switch is turned on. By this constitution, resonance and erroneous operation owing to quick braking and hammering can thereby be prevented.

In addition, if a stone or similar object hits a part of the sensor while driving, an impact (hammering) with high acceleration and short duration will occur, and when sudden acceleration or braking occurs, the acceleration will be small and the duration will be short. Since the shock is long, in each case, there is a high possibility that the switch will operate even though it does not need to operate, leading to malfunction.

Therefore, in the present invention, since the magnet of the moving member is attracted by the attraction portion of the second case, this attraction force can prevent the weight from shifting due to sudden braking. In addition, since air circulation holes are formed in the elastic member, by using the viscous damping resistance of the air flowing from the first case part to the second case part side through the air circulation holes, the weight due to hammering can be reduced. Movement can be prevented.

If the above-mentioned viscous damping resistance is added, the moving member 14 and the thin stainless steel plate become smaller, so the frequency matches the vibration frequency of the car. This can prevent resonance from occurring.
