<p>A load sensor is formed of a block (2; 22; 40; 45, 47a, 47b; 50, 53, 54, 55; 60; 70, 73C; 81), at least one parallel plate structure (12; 23, 24; 32; 41 F<Sub>x</Sub>, 41 F<Sub>y</Sub>, 41 F<Sub>z</Sub>; 48F<Sub>x</Sub>, 48F<Sub>y</Sub>, 48F<Sub>z</Sub>; 56F<Sub>x</Sub>, 56Fy; 75Fy, 75F<Sub>z</Sub>) composed of three or more thin-walled plates (11a-11c; 31a-31d; 36a<Sub>1</Sub>-36d<Sub>1</Sub>; 36a<Sub>2</Sub>-36d<Sub>2</Sub>; 36b<Sub>1</Sub>-36d<Sub>1</Sub>; 36b<Sub>2</Sub>-36d<Sub>2</Sub>; 82f<Sub>1</Sub>-82f<Sub>5</Sub>, 83f<Sub>1</Sub>-83f<Sub>5</Sub>) formed by two or more through-holes (10a-10d; 30a-30c; 35a<Sub>1</Sub>-35c<Sub>1</Sub>; 35a<Sub>2</Sub>-35c<Sub>2</Sub>; 35b<Sub>1'</Sub>, 35c<Sub>1'</Sub>, 35b<Sub>2'</Sub>, 35c<Sub>2'</Sub>; 82a-82d, 83a-83d) extending in the same direction through the block, and detection means (8a-8d; 8a<Sub>1</Sub>, 8a<Sub>2</Sub>, 8b<Sub>1</Sub>, 8b<Sub>2</Sub>; 84CF<Sub>Y</Sub>, 85CFy, 86CM<Sub>x</Sub>, 87CM<Sub>x</Sub>, 88CM<Sub>z</Sub>, 89CM<Sub>z</Sub>; 90AF<Sub>x</Sub>, 91AF<Sub>x</Sub>, 92AF<Sub>z</Sub>, 93AF<Sub>z</Sub>, 94AMy, 95AMy; 100; 101; 104) provided with the thin-walled plates at prescribed locations thereof. The axial load sensor can detect greater forces without increasing its external dimensions at the portion in which its parallel plate structure is included, and can also show high rigidity against forces and moments in directions other than the intended direction.</p> |
