PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pulse wave detection device capable of finely detecting a change in pressing force of a subject applied to a detection part.SOLUTION: A pulse wave detection device 1 includes a retainer plate 13 disposed in contact with a support part 14A and a pressure sensor 15. Then, a light-receiving part 11 and a light-emitting part 12 are provided on the left side as one end side, the support part 14A faces the retainer plate 13 disposed on the right side as the other end side, and the pressure sensor 15 is disposed on a left-side end side with respect to the position where the light-receiving part 11 and the light-emitting part 12 are disposed. A distance from the support part 14A as a supporting point to the pressure sensor 15 for detecting the pressure applied to the retainer plate 13 is longer than that from the support part to a position where the light-receiving part 11 and the light-emitting part 12 to which the load is applied from a measurement object, are disposed.COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】検出部にかかる被検体の押圧力の変化を細かく検知することが可能な脈波検出装置を提供する。【解決手段】脈波検出装置1は、保持板13が、支持部14Aと、圧力センサ15とに接して配置される。このとき、受光部11と発光部12とが一端側である左側に設けられ、支持部14Aが他端側である右側に配置された保持板13に対し、圧力センサ15は、受光部11と発光部12とが配置される位置より左側の端部側に配置される。支点である支持部14Aからの距離は、測定対象から荷重がかかる受光部11と発光部12とが配置される位置までより、保持板13にかかる圧力を検知する圧力センサ15までが長い構成である。【選択図】図1
