Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention is directed to an inertial sensor attachment structure including: a floating bracket which is fixed to a vehicle body frame via a vibration absorbing member; an inertial sensor attached to a first attachment surface of the floating bracket; and an ABS unit attached to a second attachment surface of the floating bracket.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An inertial sensor attachment structure comprising: a floating bracket, connected to a vehicle body frame via a vibration absorbing member configured to absorb a vibration coming from a vehicle body frame, and supporting an inertial sensor, wherein the inertial sensor is attached to the floating bracket together with a component so as to increase a weight of components supported by the floating bracket, so that a natural frequency is lowered and the floating bracket is made less prone to vibrate. 2. The inertial sensor attachment structure according to claim 1 , wherein the floating bracket is supported by the vehicle body frame via another part fixed to the vehicle body frame. 3. The inertial sensor attachment structure according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle body frame is a seat rail or a subframe. 4. The inertial sensor attachment structure according to claim 1 , wherein the floating bracket is located at a position that is in a rear of a rear cushion unit for suspension of a rear wheel. 5. The inertial sensor attachment structure according to claim 1 , wherein the component is an ABS unit. 6. The inertial sensor attachment structure according to claim 5 , wherein the ABS unit is located in front of a front end of a rear wheel. 7. The inertial sensor attachment structure according to claim 1 wherein another vibration absorbing member is sandwiched between the inertial sensor and the floating bracket. 8. The inertial sensor attachment structure according to claim 1 , wherein the inertial sensor is attached to the floating bracket which is supported by the vehicle body frame via the vibration absorbing member in a floated manner, via another vibration absorbing member. 9. The inertial sensor attachment structure according to claim 3 , wherein the inertial sensor and the component are disposed in a space surrounded by the seat rail and the subframe. 10. The inertial sensor attachment structure according to claim 4 , wherein the floating bracket is disposed on a center line which extends in a front-rear direction of a vehicle body through a center of the vehicle body in a width direction of the vehicle body. 11. An inertial sensor attachment structure comprising: a floating bracket supporting an inertial sensor via a vibration absorbing member configured to absorb a vibration coming from a vehicle body frame, wherein the inertial sensor is attached to the floating bracket together with a component so as to increase a weight of components supported by the floating bracket, so that a natural frequency is lowered and the floating bracket is made less prone to vibrate; and another vibration absorbing member is sandwiched between the inertial sensor and the floating bracket. 12. An inertial sensor attachment structure comprising: a floating bracket supporting an inertial sensor via a vibration absorbing member configured to absorb a vibration coming from a vehicle body frame, wherein the inertial sensor is attached to the floating bracket together with a component so as to increase a weight of components supported by the floating bracket, so that a natural frequency is lowered and the floating bracket is made less prone to vibrate, and the component is an ABS unit.
