Patent attributes
An actuating and sensing module includes a main body, an actuator and a gas sensor. The main body includes a partition, an inlet and an outlet. The space inside the main body is divided into a first compartment and a second compartment by the partition. The inlet and the outlet are in fluid communication with the first compartment and the second compartment respectively. The inlet, the first compartment, a communicating hole, the second compartment and the outlet form a gas channel within the main body. The actuator is sealed and disposed between the main body and the partition in the second compartment, wherein gas is introduced into the first compartment through the inlet, transported to the second compartment through the communicating hole, and discharged through the outlet by the actuator. The gas sensor is disposed in the first compartment and separated from the actuator for monitoring the gas on a surface thereof.
