Abstract
A detecting apparatus includes a detecting carrier and a detecting device. The detecting carrier can be moved into a charging frame or anyone of storing frames of a stock room. The detecting device is installed in the detecting carrier and includes a power module and a detecting module. The detecting module is configured to detect environment information corresponding in position to the detecting carrier. The power module is configured to supply power for operating the detecting apparatus. When the detecting carrier is arranged in the charging frame, the power module is spaced away from the charging frame and is charged without contacting the charging frame.
Claims9
A particle counter system, comprising:
- a stock room including a plurality storing frames, a charging frame, and a charging module installed in the charging frame, wherein the charging frame and each of the storing frames have the same structure;
- a transporting apparatus configured for transporting a transporting carrier to one of the storing frames;
- and
- a detecting apparatus arranged in the stock room and including a detecting carrier and a detecting device installed in the detecting carrier, wherein the detecting carrier is configured to be transported into the charging frame or anyone of the storing frames by using the transporting apparatus, and the detecting device includes:
- a detecting module configured to detect environment information corresponding in position to the detecting carrier;
- and
- a power module configured to provide electricity for operating the detecting apparatus, wherein when the detecting carrier enters into the charging frame by the transporting apparatus, the charging module is spaced away from the power module, and the charging module is operated to charge the power module without contacting each other,
- wherein the detecting module includes a volatile organic compound (VOC) detector, and the VOC detector is configured to detect a concentration of volatile organic compounds corresponding in position to the detecting carrier, and wherein the VOC detector includes:
- a chassis comprising a box and a door installed on the box;
- a displacement unit disposed in the chassis;
- a detecting unit disposed on the displacement unit and configured to detect the concentration of volatile organic compounds corresponding in position to the detecting carrier, wherein the detecting unit is movable to be arranged inside or outside the box by using the displacement unit;
- and
- a blowing unit disposed on the chassis, wherein the blowing unit is configured to blow the detecting unit for removing at least part of volatile organic compounds adhered to the detecting unit.
