Abstract

A temperature and humidity sensing device including a body and a temperature and humidity sensor is provided. The body has an inlet hole, an outlet hole, and a flow channel. The inlet hole and the outlet hole are opposite to each other, and the flow channel is configured to communicate the inlet hole and the outlet hole. The temperature and humidity sensor is disposed in the flow channel. The temperature and humidity sensor is configured to sense the relative humidity of air in the surrounding environment of the body during the air in the surrounding environment of the body flows into the flow channel from the inlet hole and flows through the flow channel to flow out from the outlet hole.

Claims (17)

1. A temperature and humidity sensing device, comprising:

a body, having an inlet hole, an outlet hole, and a flow channel, wherein the inlet hole and the outlet hole are opposite to each other, and the flow channel is configured to communicate the inlet hole and the outlet hole; and

a temperature and humidity sensor, disposed in the flow channel, wherein the temperature and humidity sensor is configured to sense a relative humidity of air in a surrounding environment of the body during the air in the surrounding environment of the body flows into the flow channel from the inlet hole and flows through the flow channel to flow out from the outlet hole,

wherein the body comprises a first case and a second case connected to each other, the inlet hole is disposed on the first case, and the outlet hole is disposed on the second case.

2. The temperature and humidity sensing device of claim 1 , wherein an inside of the first case has a groove and a trench, the groove is communicated with the inlet hole, the groove is communicated with the trench, and the temperature and humidity sensor is located in the groove.

3. The temperature and humidity sensing device of claim 2 , further comprising:

a diversion tube, disposed between the first case and the second case, wherein the diversion tube is configured to communicate the trench and the outlet hole and the flow channel is formed by the groove, the trench, and the diversion tube.

4. The temperature and humidity sensing device of claim 3 , further comprising:

a circuit board, disposed between the first case and the second case and covering the groove, wherein the temperature and humidity sensor is disposed at a side of the circuit board covering the groove and electrically connected to the circuit board.

5. The temperature and humidity sensing device of claim 4 , further comprising:

a gasket, disposed on the first case and located between the circuit board and the first case, wherein the gasket covers a portion of the trench and has a first opening and a second opening disposed adjacent to each other, the first opening is aligned to the groove, the second opening is aligned to the diversion tube, the circuit board covers the first opening, and the temperature and humidity sensor passes through the first opening.

6. The temperature and humidity sensing device of claim 5 , wherein the gasket is located between the diversion tube and the first case, and the second opening exposes a portion of the trench such that the trench and the diversion tube are communicated with each other.

7. The temperature and humidity sensing device of claim 3 , wherein the diversion tube has an inlet port, an outlet port opposite to the inlet port, and a conduit, the inlet port is communicated with the trench, the conduit communicates the inlet port and the outlet port, and the outlet port is communicated with the outlet hole.

8. The temperature and humidity sensing device of claim 7 , wherein a diameter of the conduit is constant.

9. The temperature and humidity sensing device of claim 7 , wherein a diameter of the conduit is increased from the inlet port toward the outlet port.

10. The temperature and humidity sensing device of claim 3 , further comprising:

a gasket, disposed between the diversion tube and the second case, wherein the gasket has an opening and is configured to communicate the diversion tube and the outlet hole.
