DETECTION DEVICE OF FLYING PARTICLES AND DETECTION METHOD THEREOF

To provide a detection device and method of flying particles, which allow frequent flying hours of flying particles to be confirmed in order to achieve effective removal of the flying particles adhered to an installation such as a solar panel.SOLUTION: A detection device of flying particles includes: a funnel for taking in flying particles from an inlet; a pipe which is connected to an outlet of the funnel and which the flying particles pass through the outlet; a particle sensor for detecting the flying particles passing the pipe; a timer for keeping current time; a storage part; and a control part for making the storage part store the current time kept by the timer when the particle sensor has detected the flying particles as a detection time of the flying particles.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】 太陽光パネル等の設備に付着した飛来粒子を効果的に取り除くことができるように、飛来粒子の飛来が多い時間帯を確認する。【解決手段】 飛来粒子を入口から取り込む漏斗部と、前記漏斗部の出口に結合され、前記飛来粒子が前記出口を通って通過する管部と、前記管部を通過する前記飛来粒子を検出する粒子センサーと、現在時刻を計時するタイマーと、記憶部と、前記粒子センサーが前記飛来粒子を検出したときの、前記タイマーにより計時された現在時刻を、前記飛来粒子の検出時刻として前記記憶部に記憶させる制御部と、を備える。【選択図】 図２
