絶縁処理を行う必要が生じる。[Prior art and its problems 1] A conventional water leak detection sensor is shown in Figs. 2 to 4. Fig. 2 shows a water leakage detection sensor (S-IF) of our company, which is extrusion-molded with a parallel conductor plate 2 as a core material together with an insulating coating material 3 such as soft PVC, and a plurality of exposed electrode parts 10 are formed. Since this sensor (S-IF) is a molded product, it has excellent mechanical properties and has the advantage of maintaining constant insulation between electrodes. There were problems with insulation with equipment and stability of detection characteristics. Figure 3 is also our water leak detection sensor (B-3D).
Since it is an external electrode method and the electrode 101 is exposed to the outside, it cannot be laid directly on the conductor, and in this case it is necessary to perform insulation treatment.

漏水発生後の復帰性に劣る。Figure 4 shows a water leak detection sensor (A) made by another company according to Utility Model Publication No. 62-45388, in which the conductor 102 is braided with insulating thread (polyethylene) at a braid density of 50 to 95%.
.. Two wire cores each covered and insulated with a braided material 103 are twisted together to a thickness of 3 to 0.6 mm, and a protective braided material 104 is further applied on top of this, resulting in a structure that can detect the entire surface and is fully insulated. However, since all the insulating layers are made of braided material and the braid density is high (50-95%), it is easy to absorb moisture under high humidity conditions or due to condensation, resulting in false alarms. The reversibility is poor.

帰性に優れる。[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the problems of the conventional water leak detection sensor, the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, uses the parallel conductor plate 2 shown in FIG. 2 as a core material. Our water leakage detection sensor (S-IF) is extruded together with an insulating coating material 3 such as soft PVC and has a plurality of electrode exposed parts 10 formed therein, and a wire diameter of 0.
Insulating thread (PP, PET) of 1 mm to 0.6 mmΦ
, PE, nylon, etc.) with a braid density of 40±20
By covering the braided material of 1%, the mechanical properties and insulation properties between the electrodes of the conventional product are maintained, and the braid coating provides a full-surface insulation structure, and the water absorption of the braid creates a full-surface detection structure, resulting in stable detection. characteristics are obtained. Also, the braid density is 40
Due to its low density of ±20%, malfunctions are unlikely to occur under high humidity conditions or due to moisture absorption such as condensation, and it has excellent recovery performance after water leakage occurs.

上する。In addition, compared to a structure in which the electrode is in direct contact with the sensor mounting surface, such as the conventional product (A-IF sensor), the braided covering acts as a spacer between the mounting surface and the sensor electrode due to the thickness of the braided thread, reducing its effectiveness. Therefore, the anti-condensation properties are significantly improved.
