A particulate filter (PF) system for a vehicle is equipped with a bypass air line branching off from a throttle body so as to be able to smoothly regenerate a PF regardless of operation of an engine. The PF system includes an exhaust manifold into which exhaust gas flows from an engine, a bypass line connected to the exhaust manifold, an exhaust gas recirculation valve installed on the bypass line, and blocking or passing a flow of air of the bypass line, and a particulate filter installed on the exhaust manifold to collect and remove particulate matter.

1. A particulate filter system for a vehicle comprising: an exhaust manifold into which exhaust gas flows from an engine;means for supplying oxygen to the exhaust manifold by bypassing the engine when the engine stops operating during regeneration of a particulate filter; andthe particulate filter installed on the exhaust manifold, wherein the particulate filter collects particulate matter and removes the collected particulate matter therein,wherein the oxygen supplying means includes: a bypass line connecting a throttle body and the exhaust manifold of the engine; andan exhaust gas recirculation valve installed on the bypass line, and blocking or passing a flow of air of the bypass line. 2. The particulate filter system according to claim 1, further comprising an air heater heating the air flowing into the throttle body. 3. The particulate filter system according to claim 1, further comprising a temperature sensor measuring an internal temperature of the particulate filter. 4. A method of controlling regeneration of a particulate filter system for a vehicle, the method comprising: supplying oxygen to an exhaust manifold through a bypass line bypassing an engine when the engine stops operating during regeneration of a particulate filter installed on an exhaust manifold,wherein the bypass line connects a throttle valve and the exhaust manifold and an exhaust gas recirculation valve is installed on the bypass line. 5. The method according to claim 4, wherein the supplying of oxygen includes: determining whether or not the engine is operated;regenerating the particulate filter when the engine is operated, but, when the engine is not operated, measuring an internal temperature of the particulate filter and comparing the measured temperature with a reference temperature; andstopping the regeneration of the particulate filter when the measured temperature of the particulate filter exceeds the reference temperature, but, when the measured temperature of the particulate filter does not exceed the reference temperature, opening the throttle valve and the exhaust gas recirculation valve to regenerate the particulate filter. 6. The method according to claim 5, further comprising operating an air heater prior to opening the throttle valve and the exhaust gas recirculation valve, wherein the air heater is configured to supply air to the throttle body.
