Abstract

To provide a sensor support structure that does not require frame dismantling or assembling work and can perform detection according to road surface shapes.SOLUTION: A sensor support structure A includes a main frame 10 that extends in the front-rear direction on the side in a width direction of a vehicle body, a joint frame 20 that is supported in a swingable manner in the vehicle width direction relative to one end of the main frame 10 in the longitudinal direction, an extending frame 30 that is provided in a slidable manner in the front-rear direction with respect to the joint frame 20, and a sensor 50 that is provided at the tip of the extending frame 30 that is exposed on the side opposite to the main frame 10 from the joint frame 20.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
