Sensor combining dust sensor and gas sensor

Abstract

The present invention provides a sensor combining a dust sensor and a gas sensor, comprising a light emitting unit for emitting light, a first light receiving unit for receiving scattered light which is emitted by the light emitting unit and scattered by dust to detect dust concentration, a mirror for changing a path of the emitted light which the light emitting unit emits, and a second light receiving unit for receiving the emitted light the path of which is changed by the mirror to detect gas concentration. An inflow section for introducing air into a detection space inside the sensor is formed in a Y-shaped tube in which a first inlet and a second inlet meet. The inflow section comprises a switch which selects a path through which air flows into the detection space out of the first inlet and the second inlet.
