A vibration absorber includes a large diameter portion and a small diameter portion, being provided to be supported between an ultrasonic microphone and a sensor mounting device. The small diameter portion is formed such that an outer diameter thereof is smaller than that of the large diameter portion, and is provided adjacent to the large diameter portion in a circumferential direction. A pair of large diameter portions are disposed to face each other across a center axis line. A pair of small diameter portions are disposed to face each other across the center axis line. The vibration absorber is configured such that a direction where the pair of large diameter portions positioned across the center axis line are arranged and a direction where the pair of small diameter portions positioned across the center axis line are arranged, cross each other at a right angle.
