2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an acceleration sensor for detecting acceleration by using a magnetic sensor is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-7012, in which a tip portion or both ends of a cantilever made of a material which is bent by acceleration. A permanent magnet is attached to the center of the beam, and a magnetoresistive element opposed to the permanent magnet is provided on both sides of the permanent magnet at symmetrical positions, and the acceleration is calculated by adding the outputs of both magnetic sensors.

However, in such a conventional structure, the permanent magnet 32 provided at the tip of the cantilevered flexible beam 31 has an arc shape centered on the root of the flexible beam 31. Since the movement of the permanent magnet 32 with respect to the magnetic sensors 33 and 34 does not move linearly with respect to the acceleration to be measured because the movement of the permanent magnet 32 with respect to the magnetic sensors 33 and 34 is included, acceleration components other than the measurement direction are included and measurement accuracy is reduced. Influence, as the displacement of the flexible beam 31 increases as in the case where a large acceleration is applied, the influence increases. In addition, when the flexible beam 31 is a doubly supported beam having a plate shape and supported at both ends, and a permanent magnet 32 is attached to a central portion, the permanent magnet can be displaced only in a single direction. However, since both ends of the flexible beam 31 are supported, the flexure against acceleration is small, and it is necessary to lengthen the flexible beam to increase the measurement sensitivity. Not
When stress is applied in the longitudinal direction of the flexible beam due to thermal expansion or the like, there is a disadvantage that the proportionality constant changes and an error occurs in the detected value.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a small acceleration sensor capable of accurately detecting only acceleration in a measurement direction.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side sectional view showing a first embodiment, 1 is a container frame, 2 is a guide post, which is provided in the container frame 1 in the direction of the acceleration for measuring the axis (the direction of the arrow in the figure). A sliding surface 10 is formed on the outer peripheral surface. Reference numeral 3 denotes a movable body slidably inserted through the guide column 2, and a permanent magnet 4 is attached to an upper end surface thereof.
A holding spring 5 that supports the movable body 3 around the guide column 2 is provided on the lower end surface. As the permanent magnet 4, any disc-shaped, ring-shaped or thin-film magnet such as a ferrite magnet or a rare earth magnet can be used.

Have been. Numeral 7 denotes an arithmetic unit for calculating acceleration from the output of the magnetic sensor. At least the sliding surfaces of the guide column 2 and the movable body 3 are made of a low-friction, low-wear solid lubricant. Therefore, when the acceleration G is applied from above, the movable body 3 moves upward along the sliding surface 10 of the guide column 2 by inertia according to the magnitude of the acceleration, and extends the holding spring 5 to move the permanent magnet 4. The distance between the magnetic sensor 6 and the magnetic sensor 6 is reduced. For this reason, the output of the magnetic sensor 6 due to the leakage magnetic field of the permanent magnet 4 increases, and this output change is input to the calculator 7 to determine the magnitude of the acceleration G as G = kx / m (k is a proportional constant including a spring constant). ). When acceleration is applied from below, the movable body 3 compresses the holding spring 5 while the sliding surface 10
Along with the magnetic sensor 6, the distance between the permanent magnet 4 and the magnetic sensor 6 increases, and the output of the magnetic sensor decreases, and the calculator 7 calculates the acceleration based on this output change. In the above operation, since the movable body 3 slides and moves along the sliding surface 10 of the guide column 2 only in the acceleration measurement direction, no acceleration component other than the measurement direction is detected, and the mass of the movable body and Since the spring constant of the holding spring can be appropriately selected, a small and accurate acceleration sensor can be obtained.

As described above, according to the present invention, a casing having a sliding surface in a direction for measuring acceleration, a movable body having a permanent magnet and moving along the sliding surface, and a movable body facing the permanent magnet are provided. A magnetic sensor attached to the casing, and a holding spring for holding the movable body at a reference position on the sliding surface, wherein the movable body moves from the reference position against the holding spring by acceleration. By displacing the position where the permanent magnet and the magnetic sensor face each other, the permanent magnet is moved in a linear direction along the sliding surface when acceleration is applied. The acceleration value other than the linear direction is not included in the detection value of the above, and it is possible to detect an accurate acceleration only in the measurement direction, to obtain a compact and high-performance acceleration sensor. Setting There can be effectively. In addition, since the movable body is moved linearly, displacement due to acceleration is smooth, and by providing a linear sliding bearing or a linear rolling bearing on the sliding surface, resistance during movement can be further reduced, and quick and accurate detection can be performed. It can be performed. Also,
Since the movable body is supported in the axial direction of the frame, two sets of magnetic sensors can be installed with permanent magnets on both ends of the movable body, or easily installed on the side surface, so that drift due to temperature and the effects of magnetic noise are easy. There is an advantage that the structure can be eliminated. In addition, by providing a buffer means in the magnetic sensor,
By preventing the permanent magnet that moves due to acceleration from directly hitting the magnetic sensor, the magnetic sensor is protected from impact, and stable detection can be performed without causing any abnormality in several other detections. The effect of increasing the life of the sensor is obtained.
