Abstract:
A particulate matter detecting device includes: an element unit on which particulate matter contained in exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine is deposited; a heater that heats the element unit; a detecting unit that detects the amount of particulate matter on the basis of electrical characteristics of the element unit; and a control unit that controls the operation of the heater. For a predetermined period that does not include a period in which the particulate matter is deposited on the element unit, the control unit operates the heater using a predetermined amount of control set in advance such that the temperature of the element unit is higher than the temperature of the exhaust gas and lower than a predetermined temperature at which the element unit is thermally degraded.

Claim (Index 25):
The particulate matter detecting device according to  claim 23 , wherein\n a filter that collects and burns the particulate matter is provided upstream of the element unit in an exhaust passage for the internal combustion engine, and the predetermined amount of control is set in advance such that the temperature of the element unit is allowed to exceed a temperature at which the particulate matter starts to burn for a period in which the particulate matter collected by the filter is burned or for a period of rapid acceleration of the internal combustion engine.
