PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fragment detection sensor which detects a fragment which is mixed into liquid regardless of the fragment characteristics, metallic/nonmetallic, magnetic/nonmagnetic, and conductive/nonconductive. SOLUTION: The fragment detection sensor detects a fragment which is mixed into liquid, and comprises: two facing flat plates 5, 7; a flat-plate movement mechanism 9 which moves at least one flat plate 7 out of the two flat plates 5, 7 in the facing direction to allow the fragment to be sandwiched between the two flat plates 5, 7; and a measurement/judgement means 16. The measurement/judgement means 16 detects the presence or absence, size, or accumulated amount of the fragment by measuring the gap between the two flat plates 5, 7. At least one flat plate out of the two flat plates is provided with an insulating layer 7a. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
