Abstract

A physiological signal sensing device, a containing device and a method for transporting a protective film are provided. The physiological sensing device includes a sensing module, a transporter, and a driving assembly. The sensing module is used for sensing vital signals. The transporter is used for transporting a protective film. The driving assembly includes a first structural member, a second structural member and a third structural member. One of the second and the third structural members selectively connects to the transporting device depending on the rotation direction of the first structural member for driving the transporter to transport the protective film from a starting site to an ending site.
