First, the fine dust collector 100 of the present invention is a device for collecting various kinds of harmful particles generated on the road, such as fine dust and tire powder contained in the air, or generated in the city center. Particularly, the concentration of fine dust in the atmosphere can be higher in a highway, a highway, a city road, or the like, in which a vehicle has high traffic. In addition, due to the nature of the road on which the vehicle travels, it is possible to generate not only soot and pollutants contained in the exhaust gas of the vehicle but also a large amount of tire powder due to friction between the vehicle tire and the road. As shown in FIG. 4, in order to comfortably maintain the atmospheric environment in a place where the traffic volume of the vehicle is high, the fine dust collecting apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is installed on a highway, a highway, It is preferable to install it on the structure 2 of the road 1 as shown in Fig. Here, the road structure 2 may include various structures such as a pole for a road sign, a traffic light, a street lamp, a column for a road advertisement, a bridge, and the like.

For example, the air introduced along the internal flow path of the main body 110 connected to the air inlet 111 may be supplied to the dust collecting unit 130 or may be supplied to the energy generating unit 120. In other words, not all of the external air introduced through the air inlet 111 is supplied only to the dust collecting unit 130.

The power generation unit 125 generates electric energy from the rotation energy of the power generation unit 124, Here, the battery may be provided inside the power conversion unit 126 that supports the rotary vane 124 or the lower portion of the power generation unit 125. The power conversion section 126 may include a battery and a power conversion circuit for converting the generated electric energy into a usable voltage or converting it into a direct current or an alternating current.

On the other hand, the rotary blade 124 is a kind of blade of a wind turbine generator, and can generate rotational energy by rotating with the inflow air. For reference, the rotary blade unit 124 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown as a plurality of blades formed in a curved or spiral shape rotated by air (or wind), but the present invention is not limited thereto, Can be transformed into any form as long as it can convert the rotational energy into rotational energy.
