ことがあった。Conventionally, as a device that continuously detects particulate matter in exhaust gas over a long period of time, an electrostatic field group is installed at the rear using electrostatic charging of particulate matter caused by corona discharge, and the ionized particles are deflected here. There is a known device (Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 48990/1983) that measures particulate matter by using it as a change in current. The above-mentioned conventional device is equipped with an electrode that charges particulate matter by corona discharge, and an electrode that deflects the ionized particulate matter in an electrostatic field group and detects the resulting current change. No means were provided to remove attached particulate matter. Therefore, the particulate matter adhering to the electrodes may narrow the electrode spacing and change the discharge conditions and detection conditions, thereby deteriorating the detection accuracy.
本発明は上記の劣化をなくするためになされたもので、
その要旨は特許請求の範囲に記載の通りである。The present invention was made to eliminate the above-mentioned deterioration.
The gist is as described in the claims.
以下添付図面により説明する。This will be explained below with reference to the attached drawings.

b are respectively fixed to the flange 3 such that the former is located on the upstream side of the exhaust gas flow path, and the latter is located on the downstream side. Insulators 1a+1b are ground electrodes 41a, 41b and (-) high voltage electrode 4
It supports a discharge electrode consisting of 2.

はここで(−)に帯電される。A normal (-) DC voltage of several KV is applied to the (-) high-voltage electrode 42 to cause corona discharge between it and the ground electrodes 41a, 41b. Particulate matter in the exhaust gas is charged (-) here.
一方検出電極用碍子’la、”lbは、接地極51a。On the other hand, the detection electrode insulator 'la,'lb is the ground electrode 51a.

で静電界基を形成している。51b supports a detection electrode consisting of a low voltage electrode 52. The (+) low voltage electrode 52 has a (+) DC voltage (
+) 10-odd V is applied to form an electrostatic field group between the ground electrodes 51a and 51b.
上記 (−)に帯電された粒子状物質はこの静電界基に
流入すると電位の高い(+)低圧電極52側へ偏向する
ために、これと逆向きにイオン電流が流れ、粒子状物質
の個数に比例した電流の変化を検出することができる。When the (-) charged particulate matter flows into this electrostatic field group, it is deflected toward the high potential (+) low-voltage electrode 52, so an ionic current flows in the opposite direction, and the number of particulate matter increases. Changes in current proportional to can be detected.
この電流は接地極51a51bより取り出され図示しな

偏向した粒子状物質はその後出口に排出される。The deflected particulate matter is then discharged to the outlet.
ところで排ガス中の粒子状物質は必ずしもそのすべてが
上述の経路を通るとは限らず、所望でない経路を通って
電極に付着するものが少なくない。By the way, not all of the particulate matter in the exhaust gas necessarily passes through the above-mentioned route, and many of them adhere to the electrodes through undesired routes.

気回路図として示す。If the attached particulate matter is left unattended, the detection accuracy will deteriorate as described above, which is not preferable. According to the present invention, the electrodes are intermittently energized to generate heat, thereby burning out attached particulate matter. FIG. 2 shows a means for implementing this as an electric circuit diagram.

に検出することができる。The response time of the relays 11.11...11 is set by the timer 9, and during the ion current detection period, all the relays are closed at the same time on the black circle contact side in the figure, but at regular intervals The black circle contact side opens all at once, and the other white circle contact closes. At the same time as closing on the white circle contact side, the ground electrodes 41a and 41b on the discharge electrode side, and the high voltage electrode 4
2. Ground electrodes 51a, 51b and low voltage electrode 5 on the detection electrode side
2 are connected in series, and a heating power source 8 applies a voltage necessary to cause each electrode to generate heat of 500°C. Particulate matter adhering to the electrode during the ion current detection period is burned away and removed during this period. Therefore, a large amount of particulate matter does not adhere to the electrode, and the discharge conditions and detection conditions are maintained substantially constant, so particulate matter in the exhaust gas can be detected accurately.
尚、発熱時の電極は必ずしも直列に接続されることはな

碍子表面での漏洩を防止することもできる。Note that the electrodes for generating heat are not necessarily connected in series, but may be connected in parallel. Also, different heating power sources may be used for each electrode. If a heating element is built into the insulator supporting each electrode and the insulator generates heat at the same time as the electrodes generate heat, leakage on the surface of the insulator can also be prevented.
