Summary:To appropriately protect an ultrasonic element.SOLUTION: An ultrasonic sensor (1) comprises: an element housing case (4); and an ultrasonic element (50). The element housing case is formed into a box shape having a close space (SC) inside. The ultrasonic element is housed in the close space. The element housing case includes: a side board part (41) which is cylindrically formed so as to surround a directional axis (DA); and an outer side bottom board part (42) that closes one end side of the side board part so that water is prevented from being entered into the close space. The outer side bottom board part in the element housing case, includes a diaphragm part (45) having a thickness direction along the directional axis. The ultrasonic element is oppositely arranged with the diaphragm part with a gap (G) structuring the close space. In the ultrasonic sensor, a first resonant frequency as a resonant frequency of the ultrasonic element and a second resonance frequency as a resonance frequency of the diaphragm part are coincided.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】超音波素子を良好に保護する。【解決手段】超音波センサ(1)は、素子収容ケース(4)と超音波素子(50)とを備える。素子収容ケースは、内部に閉鎖空間(SC)を有する箱状に形成されている。超音波素子は、閉鎖空間内に収容されている。素子収容ケースは、指向軸(DA)を囲む筒状に形成された側板部(41)と、閉鎖空間内に水が浸入しないように側板部の一端側を閉塞する外側底板部(42)とを有する。素子収容ケースにおける外側底板部は、指向軸に沿った厚さ方向を有するダイアフラム部(45)を有する。超音波素子は、閉鎖空間を構成するギャップ(G)を隔ててダイアフラム部と対向配置されている。超音波センサは、超音波素子の共振周波数である第一共振周波数と、ダイアフラム部の共振周波数である第二共振周波数とが、一致するように構成されている。【選択図】図3
