A total of three single-axis accelerometers 5 are set.

[0027] The single-axis accelerometer 5 includes an X-axis accelerometer 51 , a Y-axis accelerometer 52 , and a Z-axis accelerometer 53 .

[0028] The X-axis accelerometer 51 is centered along the X-axis direction with the connector 4 as the axis, the Y-axis accelerometer 52 is centered along the Y-axis direction with the connector 4 as the axis, and the Z-axis accelerometer 53 is centered along the Z-axis direction with the connector 4 as the axis.
