Title:
MULTIAXIAL FORCE SENSOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/170848
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a multiaxial force sensor that can accurately detect force components with respect to an external force applied from the periphery, and that can make the overall constitution compact. A six-axis force sensor 10 comprises a sensor unit 11 in which a plurality of pressure sensors 16 capable of detecting a pressing force in one direction are provided, a cover 12 that is provided at the periphery of the sensor unit 11 and that is constituted to be capable of transmitting an applied external force to the sensor unit 11, and a calculation unit 13 that finds by calculation the force components of an external force in a plurality of axis directions on the basis of the detection value from each pressure sensor 16. Each pressure sensor 16 is arranged in a manner capable of detecting a pressing force from a mutually different direction, and the sensor unit 11 is provided in a manner capable of detecting a pressing force by at least some of the pressure sensors 16 even when an external force is applied to the cover 12 in any of the orthogonal three-axis directions.
