Abstract

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a vibration sensing device, which may include a vibration sensor and at least one vibration component. The vibration sensor has a first resonant frequency, at least one vibration component may be configured to transmit the received vibration to the vibration sensor, and the at least one vibration component may include a liquid arranged in the target cavity and a plate body forming a part of the cavity wall of the target cavity. The at least one vibration component may provide at least one second resonant frequency for the vibration sensing device, and at least one second resonant frequency may be different from the first resonant frequency.
