Abstract

A vibration sensing assembly, including a base, a side shell, a sensor, an upper cover, and a diaphragm assembly, is provided. The base includes first and second bottom plates. A first cavity is formed between the first and second bottom plates. The second bottom plate includes first and second through holes. The side shell is disposed on the second bottom plate and includes a cylinder and an inner partition. The inner partition divides the cylinder into a second cavity and an airflow channel. The airflow channel is communicated with the first cavity through the first through hole. The sensor is disposed in the second cavity and covers the second through hole. The side shell is located between the base and the upper cover. The base, the side shell, and the upper cover jointly form an outer shell. The diaphragm assembly is disposed between the side shell and the upper cover.
