  • Patent number: 11781901
    Abstract: A vibration sensor includes a support board, a circuit board housing, a metal housing, a pressure-enhancing member and a sensor. The circuit board housing is located on a surface of the support board, and defines a first hollow chamber together with the support board. The metal housing is located on another surface of the support board, and defines a second hollow chamber together with the support board. The pressure-enhancing member is in one of the first and second hollow chambers. The sensor is in the other one of the first and second hollow chambers. The support board has a first through hole and a second through hole. The first through hole is misaligned with the pressure-enhancing member and the sensor. The second through hole is aligned between the pressure-enhancing member and the sensor. The sensor, support board and diaphragm collectively define a third hollow chamber.

  • Patent number: 11671735
    Abstract: A microphone module, including a substrate assembly, two sensing structures, and two housings, is provided. The substrate assembly has at least one through hole and at least one circuit structure electrically connected to at least one pad. The through hole includes two holes formed on opposite sides of the substrate assembly. The sensing structures are disposed on and cover the two holes. The two sensing structures and the through hole collectively form a communicating cavity. A size of the communicating cavity in an axial direction is greater than that in a radial direction. The two housings are respectively disposed on the opposite sides of the substrate assembly and respectively shield the two sensing structures. Each of the housings, the substrate assembly, and the corresponding sensing structure form an inner cavity. The housings each has a sound hole. The inner cavity communicates with the outside through the sound hole.

  • Patent number: 11619544
    Abstract: A vibration sensor is designed to have a pressure-enhancing member, a pressure sensing device and first, second, third chambers. An air gap is designed to enable the first chamber to be vented to the third chamber such that the first chamber is combined with the third chamber to obtain a communicable air volume. An adhesive layer is formed between a spacer and a circuit board, and the air gap is formed in an adhesive-absent section between the spacer and the circuit board. When the pressure-enhancing member is moved to squeeze the air in the second chamber, a sensitivity of the pressure sensing device will be greatly improved.
