Load detection device
First Claim
1. A load detection device comprising:
- a load sensor; and
a control device connected to the load sensor so as to perform bidirectional communication,wherein the load sensor includesa first controller acquiring load information in every predetermined arithmetic period based on a load detection signal corresponding to a load applied to a seat and acquiring failure information based on magnitude relation between the load detection signal and a threshold signal corresponding to a threshold for detecting a failure, anda load information storage unit storing the load information in every arithmetic period in a predetermined time as load information in failure detection as the failure information is switched to a state where a failure exists,the control device includes a second controller receiving the load information and the failure information in every predetermined communication period which is longer than the arithmetic period, andthe second controller includesa waveform reproduction unit sequentially receiving the load information in failure detection in every arithmetic period in the predetermined time stored in the load information storage unit in every communication period when the failure information indicates the state where a failure exists and reproducing the load information in failure detection, anda failure determination unit determining presence of a failure based on the reproduced load information in failure detection.

Abstract
A load detection device includes: a load sensor; and a control device connected to the load sensor so as to perform bidirectional communication, wherein the load sensor includes a first controller acquiring load information based on a load detection signal and acquiring failure information based on relation between the load detection signal and a threshold signal, and a load information storage unit storing the load information as load information in failure detection as the failure information is switched to a state where a failure exists, the control device includes a second controller receiving the load information and the failure information in every predetermined communication period, and the second controller includes a waveform reproduction unit sequentially receiving the load information in failure detection and reproducing the load information in failure detection, and a failure determination unit determining presence of a failure based on the reproduced load information in failure detection.
