A new type of occupant occupancy sensor protection structure and sensor

This invention provides a novel occupant occupant occupant occupant sensor protection structure and sensor, comprising: a sheet assembly and a wiring harness assembly electrically connected to each other, with the protection structure body disposed at the electrical connection point between the sheet assembly and the wiring harness assembly. The thickness of the protection structure body near the sheet assembly and the wiring harness assembly is less than the thickness of the central portion of the protection structure body. By reducing the thickness of the protection structure body near the edges of the sheet assembly and the wiring harness assembly, the rigidity difference between the protection structure body and the sheet assembly, and between the protection structure body and the wiring harness assembly, is reduced. This reduces the risk of breakage of the sheet assembly, the protection structure body, and the wiring harness assembly during bending, thereby improving the sensor's service life.
