Abstract:
The present invention is to provide a capacitive force sensor that is inexpensive but highly sensitive, and is hardly affected by temperature changes and in-phase noise in the use environment. A force sensor  100 c  includes: a deformable body  10  having a force receiving portion  14  and a fixed portion  15;  a displacement body  20  that is connected to the deformable body  10,  and is displaced by elastic deformation caused in the deformable body  10;  and a detection circuit  40  that detects an applied force, in accordance with the displacement caused in the displacement body  20.  The deformable body  10  includes a tilting portion  13  that has a longitudinal direction  1  and is disposed between the force receiving portion  14  and the fixed portion  15.  The displacement body  20  includes displacement portions D 1  and D 2  that are connected to the tilting portion  13  and are displaced by tilting movement of the tilting portion  13.  The detection circuit  40  includes capacitive elements C 1  and C 2  disposed at the displacement portions D 1  and D 2,  and detects an applied force, in accordance with changes in the capacitance values of the capacitive elements C 1  and C 2.

Claim (Index 1):
A force sensor comprising:\n a deformable body that includes a force receiving portion and a fixed portion, and is elastically deformed by a force acting on the force receiving portion; a displacement body that is connected to the deformable body, and is displaced by elastic deformation caused in the deformable body; and a detection circuit that detects an applied force, in accordance with a displacement caused in the displacement body, wherein the deformable body includes: a tilting portion that has a longitudinal direction and is disposed between the force receiving portion and the fixed portion; a first deformable portion formed in curved shape, the first deformable portion connecting the force receiving portion and the tilting portion; and a second deformable portion formed in curved shape, the second deformable portion connecting the fixed portion and the tilting portion, the first deformable portion is disposed on one side of the tilting portion, the second deformable portion is disposed on the other side of the tilting portion, a connecting portion between the first deformable portion and the tilting portion, and a connecting portion between the second deformable portion and the tilting portion differ in position in the longitudinal direction of the tilting portion, the displacement body includes a displacement portion that is connected to the tilting portion and is at a distance from the fixed portion, the displacement portion being displaced by a tilting movement of the tilting portion, and the detection circuit includes a capacitive element disposed at the displacement portion, and detects an applied force in accordance with a change in a capacitance value of the capacitive element.
