[0038] Please refer to Figures 1-3 The embodiment is a sensor for measuring dust concentration in the atmosphere, comprising:

[0039] The main body assembly comprises a letter box 11.

[0040] The main body assembly further comprises a top cover 12 and a box door 13.

[0041] The upper surface of the letter box 11 is fixedly connected with the top cover 12, and the front surface of the letter box 11 is hingedly connected with the box door 13.

[0042] An instrument for measuring air temperature and humidity is arranged to reduce the influence of environmental factors on the measurement results.

[0043] The separation assembly comprises a sensor shell 21, a phototransistor 22, a filter plate 23, an air inlet 24 and a filter hole 25.

[0051] Firstly, the operator controls the module through the shell, starts the motor 28, and drives the fan 29 to rotate. The back of the fan 29 faces the inside of the filter plate 23. The air will enter from the air inlet 24 and pass through the filter plate 23,

[0052] And the air flows out from the middle of the bottom of the sensor shell 21. When the air enters the inside of the sensor shell 21, the small particles of dust will pass through the filter plate 23 between the filter plate 23 and the sensor shell 21,
