Abstract
An impact detection device includes: a body configured to be struck; a vibration sensor that detects vibration of the body; a support base that supports the vibration sensor; a first elastic body sandwiched between the vibration sensor and the body; and a second elastic body sandwiched between the vibration sensor and the support base. A dimension of each of the first elastic body and the second elastic body is smaller than a dimension of the vibration sensor when viewed from an arrangement direction in which the first elastic body, the vibration sensor, and the second elastic body are arranged.
