Notably, in the embodiment, the wired communication port 53 is an RS585 port that communicates with the networked cloud computing service device 6 through a wired line connection.

Please refer to FIG. 4A, FIG. 4B, FIG. 5, FIG. 6A to FIG. 6C, FIG. 7 and FIG. 9A. In the embodiment, the gas detection main part 52 includes a base 521, a piezoelectric actuator 522, a driving circuit board 523, a laser component 524, a particulate sensor 525, an outer cover 526 and a gas sensor 527.

In the embodiment, the base 521 includes a laser loading region 5211, a gas-inlet groove 5212, a gas-guiding-component loading region 5213 and a gas-outlet groove 5214. The gas-inlet groove 5212 includes a gas-inlet 5215 and two lateral walls, the gas-inlet 5215 is in communication with an environment outside the base, and transparent windows 5216 are respectively opened on the two lateral walls and are in communication with the laser loading region 5211. The gas-guiding-component loading region 5213 is in communication with the gas-inlet groove 5212, and a ventilation hole 5217 penetrates a bottom surface of the gas-guiding-component loading region 5213. The gas-outlet groove 5214 is in communication with the ventilation hole 5217, and a gas-outlet 5218 is disposed in the gas-outlet groove 5214. In the embodiment, the outer cover 526 covers the base 521, and includes a side plate 5261. The side plate 5261 has an inlet opening 5262 and an outlet opening 5263. The inlet opening 5262 is spatially corresponding to the gas-inlet 5215 of the base 521, and the outlet opening 5263 is spatially corresponding to the gas-outlet 5218 of the base 521.

In the embodiment, the laser component 524, the particulate sensor 525 and the gas sensor 527 are disposed on and electrically connected to the driving circuit board 523 and located within the base 521. In order to clearly describe and illustrate the positions of the laser component 524 and the particulate sensor 525 in the base 521, the driving circuit board 523 is intentionally omitted. The laser component 524 is accommodated in the laser loading region 5211 of the base 521, and the particulate sensor 525 is accommodated in the gas-inlet groove 5212 of the base 521 and is aligned to the laser component 524. In addition, the laser component 524 is spatially corresponding to the transparent window 5216, therefore, a light beam emitted by the laser component 524 passes through the transparent window 5216 and is irradiated into the gas-inlet groove 5212. A light beam path emitted from the laser component 524 passes through the transparent window 5216 and extends in an orthogonal direction perpendicular to the gas-inlet groove 5212. In the embodiment, a projecting light beam emitted from the laser component 524 passes through the transparent window 5216 and enters the gas-inlet groove 5212 to irradiate the suspended particles contained in the gas passing through the gas-inlet groove 5212. When the suspended particles contained in the gas are irradiated and generate scattered light spots, the scattered light spots are received and calculated by the particulate sensor 525 in the orthogonal direction to obtain the gas detection data. Notably, the laser component 524 emits a parallel light source, and the parallel light source passes through the transparent window 5216.

In the embodiment, the gas sensor 527 is positioned and accommodated in the gas-outlet groove 5214, so as to detect the air pollution introduced into the gas-outlet groove 5214. Preferably but not exclusively, the particulate sensor 525 detects suspended particulates and outputs the detection data. Moreover, the gas sensor 527 includes a volatile-organic-compound sensor, and the volatile-organic-compound sensor detects carbon dioxide (CO₂) or volatile organic compounds (TVOC) in the gas to output the detection data.

In an embodiment, the gas sensor 527 is a temperature and humidity sensor, and the temperature and humidity sensor detects the temperature and humidity of the gas to output the detection data.

Please refer to FIG. 7. In the embodiment, the piezoelectric actuator 522 is accommodated in the gas-guiding-component loading region 5213 of the base 521. In addition, the gas-guiding-component loading region 5213 of the base 521 is in fluid communication with the gas-inlet groove 5212. When the driving circuit board 523 is covered inside the base 521 and the outer cover 526 is covered outside the base 521, the inlet opening 5262 corresponds to the gas-inlet 5215 of the base 521 to collaboratively define a gas inlet path, and the outlet opening 5263 corresponds to the gas-outlet 5218 of the base 521 to collaboratively define a gas outlet path. When the piezoelectric actuator 522 is enabled, the gas in the gas-inlet groove 5212 is inhaled by the piezoelectric actuator 522, so that the gas flows into the piezoelectric actuator 522, and is transported into the gas-outlet groove 5214 through the ventilation hole 5217 of the gas-guiding-component loading region 5213. Finally, when the gas enters the gas-outlet groove 5214, the piezoelectric actuator 522 continuously transports the gas from the gas inlet path into the gas-outlet groove 5214, and the gas in the gas-outlet groove 5214 is pushed to the gas outlet path and passed through the gas-outlet 5218 and the outlet opening 5263 to discharge to the outside, to achieve the gas transportation at high speed and in large quantities.

After understanding the above structural description of the gas detection main part 52, the detailed structure of the piezoelectric actuator 522 will be described in detail below.

Please refer to FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B. In the embodiment, the piezoelectric actuator 522 includes a gas-injection plate 5221, a chamber frame 5222, an actuator element 5223, an insulation frame 5224 and a conductive frame 5225. In the embodiment, the gas-injection plate 5221 is made by a flexible material and includes a suspension plate 5221a and a hollow aperture 5221b. The suspension plate 5221a is a sheet structure and is permitted to undergo a bending deformation. Preferably but not exclusively, the shape and the size of the suspension plate 5221a correspond to the inner edge of the gas-guiding-component loading region 5215, but not limited thereto. The hollow aperture 5221b passes through a center of the suspension plate 5221a, so as to allow the gas to flow therethrough. Preferably but not exclusively, in the embodiment, the shape of the suspension plate 5221a is selected from the group consisting of a square, a circle, an ellipse, a triangle and a polygon, but not limited thereto.

In the embodiment, the chamber frame 5222 is carried and stacked on the gas-injection plate 5221. In addition, the shape of the chamber frame 5222 is corresponding to the gas-injection plate 5221. The actuator element 5223 is carried and stacked on the chamber frame 5222. A resonance chamber 5226 is collaboratively defined by the actuator element 5223, the chamber frame 5222 and the suspension plate 5221a and is formed between the actuator element 5223, the chamber frame 5222 and the suspension plate 5221a. The insulation frame 5224 is carried and stacked on the actuator element 5223 and the appearance of the insulation frame 5224 is similar to that of the chamber frame 5222. The conductive frame 5225 is carried and stacked on the insulation frame 5224, and the appearance of the conductive frame 5225 is similar to that of the insulation frame 5224. In addition, the conductive frame 5225 includes a conducting pin 5225a and a conducting electrode 5225b. The conducting pin 5225a is extended outwardly from an outer edge of the conductive frame 5225, and the conducting electrode 5225b is extended inwardly from an inner edge of the conductive frame 5225.

Moreover, the actuator element 5223 further includes a piezoelectric carrying plate 5223a, an adjusting resonance plate 5223b and a piezoelectric plate 5223c. The piezoelectric carrying plate 5223a is carried and stacked on the chamber frame 5222. The adjusting resonance plate 5223b is carried and stacked on the piezoelectric carrying plate 5223a. The piezoelectric plate 5223c is carried and stacked on the adjusting resonance plate 5223b. The adjusting resonance plate 5223b and the piezoelectric plate 5223c are accommodated in the insulation frame 5224. The conducting electrode 5225b of the conductive frame 5225 is electrically connected to the piezoelectric plate 5223c. In the embodiment, the piezoelectric carrying plate 5223a and the adjusting resonance plate 5223b are made by conductive materials. The piezoelectric carrying plate 5223a includes a piezoelectric pin 5223d. The piezoelectric pin 5223d and the conducting pin 5225a are electrically connected to a driving circuit (not shown) of the driving circuit board 523, so as to receive a driving signal, such as a driving frequency and a driving voltage. Through this structure, a circuit is formed by the piezoelectric pin 5223d, the piezoelectric carrying plate 5223a, the adjusting resonance plate 5223b, the piezoelectric plate 5223c, the conducting electrode 5225b, the conductive frame 5225 and the conducting pin 5225a for transmitting the driving signal. Moreover, the insulation frame 5224 is insulated between the conductive frame 5225 and the actuator element 5223, so as to avoid the occurrence of a short circuit. Thereby, the driving signal is transmitted to the piezoelectric plate 5223c. After receiving the driving signal, the piezoelectric plate 5223c deforms due to the piezoelectric effect, and the piezoelectric carrying plate 5223a and the adjusting resonance plate 5223b are further driven to generate the bending deformation in the reciprocating manner.

Furthermore, in the embodiment, the adjusting resonance plate 5223b is located between the piezoelectric plate 5223c and the piezoelectric carrying plate 5223a and served as a cushion between the piezoelectric plate 5223c and the piezoelectric carrying plate 5223a. Thereby, the vibration frequency of the piezoelectric carrying plate 5223a is adjustable. Basically, the thickness of the adjusting resonance plate 5223b is greater than the thickness of the piezoelectric carrying plate 5223a, and the vibration frequency of the actuator element 5223 can be adjusted by adjusting the thickness of the adjusting resonance plate 5223b. In the embodiment, the gas-injection plate 5221, the chamber frame 5222, the actuator element 5223, the insulation frame 5224 and the conductive frame 5225 are stacked and positioned in the gas-guiding-component loading region 5213 sequentially, so that the piezoelectric actuator 522 is supported and positioned in the gas-guiding-component loading region 5213. A clearance 5221c is defined between the suspension plate 5221a of the gas-injection plate 5221 and an inner edge of the gas-guiding-component loading region 5213 for gas flowing therethrough.

In the embodiment, a flowing chamber 5227 is formed between the gas-injection plate 5221 and the bottom surface of the gas-guiding-component loading region 5213. The flowing chamber 5227 is in communication with the resonance chamber 5226 between the actuator element 5223, the chamber frame 5222 and the suspension plate 5221a. By controlling the vibration frequency of the gas in the resonance chamber 5226 to be close to the vibration frequency of the suspension plate 5221a, the Helmholtz resonance effect is generated between the resonance chamber 5226 and the suspension plate 5221a, so as to improve the efficiency of gas transportation. When the piezoelectric plate 5223c is moved away from the bottom surface of the gas-guiding-component loading region 5213, the suspension plate 5221a of the gas-injection plate 5221 is driven to move away from the bottom surface of the gas-guiding-component loading region 5213 by the piezoelectric plate 5223c. In that, the volume of the flowing chamber 5227 is expanded rapidly, the internal pressure of the flowing chamber 5227 is decreased to form a negative pressure, and the gas outside the piezoelectric actuator 522 is inhaled through the clearance 5221c and enters the resonance chamber 5226 through the hollow aperture 5221b. Consequently, the pressure in the resonance chamber 5226 is increased to generate a pressure gradient. When the suspension plate 5221a of the gas-injection plate 5221 is driven by the piezoelectric plate 5223c to move toward the bottom surface of the gas-guiding-component loading region 5213, the gas in the resonance chamber 5226 is discharged out rapidly through the hollow aperture 5221b, and the gas in the flowing chamber 5227 is compressed, thereby the converged gas is quickly and massively ejected out of the flowing chamber 5227 under the condition close to an ideal gas state of the Benulli's law, and transported to the ventilation hole 5217 of the gas-guiding-component loading region 5213.

By repeating the above operation steps shown in FIG. 9B and FIG. 9C, the piezoelectric plate 5223c is driven to generate the bending deformation in a reciprocating manner. According to the principle of inertia, since the gas pressure inside the resonance chamber 5226 is lower than the equilibrium gas pressure after the converged gas is ejected out, the gas is introduced into the resonance chamber 5226 again. Moreover, the vibration frequency of the gas in the resonance chamber 5226 is controlled to be close to the vibration frequency of the piezoelectric plate 5223c, so as to generate the Helmholtz resonance effect to achieve the gas transportation at high speed and in large quantities.

Please refer to FIG. 10A to FIG. 10C. The gas is inhaled through the inlet opening 5262 on the outer cover 526, flows into the gas-inlet groove 5212 of the base 521 through the gas-inlet 5215, and is transported to the position of the particulate sensor 525. In addition, the piezoelectric actuator 522 is enabled continuously to inhale the gas into the gas inlet path so as to facilitate the gas outside to be introduced rapidly, flow stably, and transported above the particulate sensor 525. At this time, a projecting light beam emitted from the laser component 524 passes through the transparent window 5216 to irritate the suspended particles contained in the gas flowing above the particulate sensor 525 in the gas-inlet groove 5212. When the suspended particles contained in the gas are irradiated and generate scattered light spots, the scattered light spots are received and calculated by the particulate sensor 525 for obtaining related information about the sizes and the concentration of the suspended particles contained in the gas. Moreover, the gas above the particulate sensor 525 is continuously driven and transported by the piezoelectric actuator 522, flows into the ventilation hole 5217 of the gas-guiding-component loading region 5213, and is transported to the gas-outlet groove 5214.

Moreover, the wireless network cloud computing service module 61 receives the detection data and transmits the detection data to the cloud control service unit 62 to store and form a big data database of air pollution data. Through performing an artificial intelligence calculation and comparing with the database of air pollution data, the control instruction is sent out and transmitted to the wireless network cloud computing service module 61, and then, the control instruction is further transmitted to the gas detection module 5 of the intelligent networked humidity control device through the wireless network cloud computing service module 61 to control the enablement of the gas detection module 5.

According to the collection and analysis of real-time monitored the temperature and the humidity detection data regulated by the humidity control module 3, the operation frequency of the air guiding fan 2 is dynamically adjusted. It can be automatically switched to a low energy consumption mode, so as to reduce airflow noise.

The host driving controller 4 then controls the humidity control module 3 to automatically adjust the dehumidification or humidification mode and maintain the humidity within an ideal range. Remote control: Users can view the humidity, the temperature, and the air quality data at any time through the networked cloud computing service device 6 and remotely operate the switch or adjust the humidity setting.
