The first oil guiding groove 507 is a long hole with a circular or square cross section, and preferably, the opening of the first oil guiding groove 507 is lower than the inside of the first inner cavity 5622, that is, the first oil guiding groove 507 is inclined downwards in a direction away from the launching part 522, so as to facilitate the liquid to flow out. The first oil guiding groove 507 may also be opened in parallel with the first inner cavity 5622 to allow the liquid to flow out. The side length or diameter of the first oil guiding groove 507 is greater than or equal to 2.5mm (preferably, greater than or equal to 3mm) to overcome the internal tension of the liquid and facilitate the liquid flowing out.

In this manner, the light receiving device 54 can be made to better receive the light emitted from the light emitting portion 522.

Specifically, referring to fig. 8, the angle of the light emitted from the light emitting portion 522 is restricted by the dimension d1 of the emitting opening 5282 of the first sealing plug 562, and the spot diameter of the light emitted from the light emitting portion 522 reaches the light receiving portion 542Will be amplified by d. In order to ensure that the intensity of light received by the light receiving section 542 is sufficient, it is sufficient that the aperture area of the receiving opening 5482 is equal to or larger than half the spot area, i.e., pi (d2)²≥0.5×πd²In this example, knowing L, L1, d1, one can deduce: d-d 1 × (L + L1)/L1, which is to say, d2 ≧ d1 × (L1+ L))/(1.414 × L1) is satisfied in the present example according to the illustrated ray propagation manner. The conditions of the present embodiment can be applied to the design when no lens is provided inside the light emitting device 52 and the light receiving device 54.

In the example of fig. 8 and 9, the central axis of the light emitting device 52 and the central axis of the light receiving device 54 are located on the same straight line T on the plane perpendicular to the check valve central axis Z, and the light emitting device 52 and the light receiving device 54 are respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the check valve 40.

The light emitting device 52 can emit light (e.g., infrared light), which passes through the soot air channel region of the check valve 40 and is received by the opposite light receiving device 54, and when there is no particulate matter in the air channel region, the detected light intensity of the light receiving device 54 is substantially unchanged, i.e., the value (e.g., voltage value) of the output electrical signal is substantially unchanged.

The soot particles pass through the volute 32 to the soot duct of the check valve 40 by centrifugal force of the impeller. The soot particles 110 pass through the light path to cause light shielding, scattering and diffraction, wherein the light shielding of particles with large particle size has a large influence on the intensity of light, causing the intensity of light received by the light receiving device 54 to be reduced. When the amount of soot decreases, the shielding effect is reduced, and the intensity of light received by the light receiving device 54 increases. The light intensity can be represented by the value of the electrical signal, for example, the light receiving device 54 receives the light and outputs the electrical signal, the electrical signal is analog-to-digital converted to obtain a digital signal, and the digital signal can be used to obtain a corresponding value, such as a voltage value.
