FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to an environmental monitoring system for an actuating and sensing module, and more particularly to a driving system for an actuating and sensing module.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Nowadays, people pay much attention to the devices and methods of monitoring the air quality in the environment. For example, it is important to monitor carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, volatile organic compounds (VOC), PM2.5, and so on. The exposure of these gases in the environment will cause human health problems or even harm the life. Therefore, it is important for every country to develop and implement the environmental monitoring technology.

Generally, it is feasible to use an ambient sensor to monitor the air quality in the environment. If the ambient sensor is capable of immediately providing people with the monitored information relating to the environment for caution, it may help people escape or prevent from injuries and influence on human health caused by the gas exposure in the environment. In other words, the ambient sensor is suitably used for monitoring the ambient air in the environment.

Generally, the ambient sensor is used to monitor the environment and provide information about the environment to the user. As known, the monitoring sensitivity and the precision of the ambient sensor should be taken into consideration. If the airflow is transferred to the ambient sensor through natural convection, the amount of the airflow to be received by the ambient sensor is neither stable nor uniform. Under this circumstance, the result of monitoring the environment is usually not accurate. Moreover, since the airflow is transferred to the ambient sensor through natural convection, the response time of the ambient sensor to monitor the ambient sensor is much longer. In other words, the real-time monitoring efficacy is low.

Nowadays, a large-scale environmental monitoring base station is provided to monitor the ambient air quality. However, the large-scale environmental monitoring base station is only suitable for monitoring the ambient air quality in a large area. If the large-scale environmental monitoring base station is used to monitor the air quality in a small area where human activities exist (e.g., the indoor air quality and the ambient air surrounding us), the monitoring result is usually not accurate and can't be acquired quickly. If the sensor is integrated into a portable electronic device, the air quality can be immediately monitored everywhere and at any time. Moreover, the monitored data can be transmitted to a cloud database in real time so as to be constructed and managed. Consequently, the monitored data of the air quality can be accurately and immediately provided. Under this circumstance, an air quality notification mechanism and an air quality processing mechanism are enabled.

Therefore, there is a need of providing a driving system for an actuating and sensing module for increasing the monitoring accuracy of the sensor, increasing the monitoring speed of the sensor, immediately monitoring the air quality everywhere and at any time, transmitting the monitored data to the cloud database to construct and manage the monitored data, and enabling the air quality notification mechanism and the air quality processing mechanism.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An object of the present disclosure provides a driving system for an actuating and sensing module. The system includes an actuating and sensing device and a power supply device. The actuating and sensing device includes at least one sensor, at least one actuating device, a microprocessor and a power controller, which are integrated as a modularized structure. The actuating device is used to increase the flow rate of fluid and provide the amount of fluid stably and uniformly. Since the sensor is provided with the amount of the fluid stably and uniformly, the response time of the sensor to the fluid is largely reduced and the fluid is monitored with precision. The actuating and sensing device may not be equipped with a power source itself. Rather, the actuating and sensing device may be coupled to an external power supply device for energy transfer, thereby enabling the sensor and the actuating device, and powering the power controller and the microprocessor for operation. Accordingly, the configuration described above saves a lot of space when installing the entire module, and the purpose of minimizing the design of the module is achieved. Moreover, the configuration described above can be applied to an electronic device for monitoring the air quality.

In accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure, a driving system for an actuating and sensing module is provided. The system includes an actuating and sensing device and a power supply device. The actuating and sensing device includes at least one sensor, at least one actuating device, a microprocessor and a power controller. The power supply device transfers an energy to the power controller, so that the power controller receives the energy and enables the sensor and the actuating device.
