Abstract
A particulate matter measuring device includes a gas transporting actuator, a micro particle sensor and a laser module. The micro particle sensor is disposed corresponding in position to the gas transporting actuator. The laser module is disposed between the gas transporting actuator and the micro particle sensor and emits a laser beam between the gas transporting actuator and the micro particle sensor. The air flowing between the gas transporting actuator and the micro particle sensor is irradiated by the laser beam. The micro particle sensor analyzes sizes of suspended particles in the air and calculates concentrations of the suspended particles. The air is ejected at high speed by the gas transporting actuator to perform a cleaning operation on a surface of the micro particle sensor so as to remove the suspended particles on the surface of the micro particle sensor and maintain accuracy of the micro particle sensor.
