Provided are a particulate matter filtering device with an automatic cleaning function and a control method thereof. The particulate matter filtering device with the automatic cleaning function comprises a spraying device, an electromagnetic vibrator, a filtering screen
assembly, an air quality sensor, a control center, a water receiving tray, a water drainage hole and a water drainage
pipe. The control center is in
electric control connection with the spraying device, the electromagnetic vibrator and the air quality sensor. By means of the improvement on the structure, the cleaning problem of an air conditioner unit or the filtering screen
assembly of the
air purification device is solved, users or after-sales maintenance personnel do not need to manually clean away dust on the air conditioner unit or the filtering screen
assembly of the
air purification device, the particulate matter filtering device can automatically remove the dust on the filtering screen assembly and
discharge the dust out of the room, therefore, the maintenance burden of the users is reduced, and
indoor air is kept clean. In addition, the dust on the filtering screen assembly can be removed automatically so that decrease of the
air volume and the refrigerating and
heating efficiency of the air conditioner can be prevented. The particulate matter filtering device with the automatic cleaning function can be widely applied to all kinds of air conditioner units and
air purification devices and has a wide application range.
