Fixing structure for sensing element

A fixing structure for a sensing element, wherein a load sensor is located at the central part of a plate member as a support member of a sensing element in the longitudinal direction. The plate member is attached to a load measuring location so that a length of the plate member when viewed in the longitudinal direction expands and contracts in accordance with a tension force or a compression force applied to the load measuring location, and both ends of the plate member when viewed in the longitudinal direction are welded to the load measuring location.
