Abstract:
An object detecting device includes a detector and a determination unit. The detector detects presence or absence of an object based on whether a receiving unit that converts a mechanical vibration into an electric signal receives a reflected ultrasonic wave transmitted intermittently from a transmitting unit. The determination unit determines that the transmitting unit is normal when the electric signal is not detected in a determination section set within a predetermined time from a starting time point of the transmission of the ultrasonic wave. The determination unit determines that the transmitting unit is abnormal when a correlation value of waveforms of a plurality of electric signals detected in the plurality of determination sections is greater than or equal to a specified value. The determination unit determines that the transmitting unit is normal when the correlation value is less than the specified value.

Claim (Index 5):
The object detecting device according to  claim 1 , wherein the determination unit cancels the determination that the transmitting unit is abnormal when the correlation value is less than the specified value in two adjacent determination sections of the plurality of determination sections while the determination unit determines that the transmitting unit is abnormal.
