GRIPPING STATE DETECTION SENSOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gripping state detection sensor capable of detecting in details a gripping state of a driver of a part to be gripped.SOLUTION: A gripping state detection sensor 1 includes: a first base material 20 having insulation and made of elastomer; a plurality of first front surface side electrodes X1, X2 arranged on a front surface of the first base material 20 and having electroconductivity and made of elastomer; and a plurality of first rear surface side electrodes Y1 to Y8 arranged on a rear surface of the first base material 20 and having electroconductivity and made of elastomer. The gripping state detection sensor further includes: a proximity sensor part 2 for detecting an approach of a driver to a part 8 to be gripped and coordinates of the driver based on a change of an electrostatic capacitance Ca between the first front surface side electrodes X1, X2 and the first rear surface side electrodes Y1 to Y8; and a load sensor part 3 arranged on the rear surface of the proximity sensor part 2 and detecting a pressing of the driver to the part 8 to be gripped based on a load F applied from the driver via the proximity sensor part 2.
