Vehicle bumper structure including a pedestrian collision detection sensor

A vehicle bumper structure comprising:

• bumper reinforcement that is disposed at a vehicle rear side of a bumper cover provided at a front end of a vehicle, a length direction of the bumper reinforcement being a vehicle width direction;
• an absorber that extends along the vehicle width direction and is disposed adjacent to a vehicle front side of the bumper reinforcement;
• and
• a pedestrian collision detection sensor that includes a pressure tube extending along the vehicle width direction between the bumper reinforcement and the absorber, and that outputs a signal according to a change in pressure of the pressure tube,
• wherein a position of a vehicle width direction outer end of the bumper reinforcement is set between a first normal line and a second normal line,
• where a front-rear reference line is a line that passes through a vehicle width direction outer end of a front hood or an apron upper member in plan view and that extends along a vehicle front-rear direction,
• the first normal line is a line that passes through an intersection point between the front-rear reference line and the bumper cover in plan view and that extends along a direction of a normal line with respect to the vehicle width direction outer end of the bumper reinforcement, and
• the second normal line is a line that is offset by 100 mm to a vehicle width direction inner side of the first normal line in plan view.
