In the following examples, the present invention will be explained in more detail on the basis of the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

In the figure, 1 is the main pipe, 2 is the bypass pipe, 3 is the radiation fin, 4 is the catalytic converter, 5 is the oxygen sensor, 6 is the flow control valve, 7 is the air amount sensor, 8 is the computer, and 9 is the actuator. .

When the amount of air detected by the air amount sensor 7 is, for example, 100 m 3 /h so that thermal deterioration of the oxygen sensor 5 and the catalyst in the catalytic converter 4 does not become a problem, the computer 8 detects the amount of air detected by the actuator 9.
Then, the flow control valve 6 issues a signal that operates to close the bypass pipe 2 (as shown in FIG. 2). Therefore, the exhaust gas flowing inside the main pipe 1 flows only to the main pipe 1 side, which effectively acts to maintain the warm-up performance and activation temperature of the oxygen sensor 5 and the catalytic converter 4.

In addition, if the amount of air increases and thermal deterioration of the oxygen sensor 5 and the catalyst becomes a problem, for example, 100
m 3 /h, the computer 8 receives a signal from the air amount sensor 7 and moves the flow control valve 6 via the actuator 9 to the side where the bypass pipe 2 is opened (as shown in FIG. 3). As a result, part of the exhaust gas flows to the bypass pipe 2 side, so the flow rate of the exhaust gas flowing through the main pipe 1 side is reduced, and the thermal load on the oxygen sensor 5 can be reduced. On the other hand, catalytic converter 4
Although the flow rate inside the bypass pipe does not decrease even under such conditions, the exhaust gas flowing through the bypass pipe is cooled by promoting heat dissipation by the heat dissipation fins 3, etc., and then reaches the catalytic converter 4. The temperature of the exhaust gas after merging decreases, and the heat load on the catalyst can also be reduced. Also, by reducing the thickness of the bypass piping 2,
The above effect can be further strengthened by using a method such as cooling the heat dissipating fins 3 by blowing wind on them.

In this embodiment, the signal from the air amount sensor 7 is used to control the flow rate control valve 6, but other factors correlated with the exhaust gas temperature, such as engine speed and load, may also be used, or the main A temperature sensor that directly detects the exhaust gas temperature may be attached to the pipe 1, and the flow rate control valve 6 may be operated in response to a signal from the temperature sensor. or,
Instead of the air amount signal, when the exhaust gas pressure exceeds a certain value (for example, 150 mmHg or more),
The control valve 6 may be actuated by the pressure to allow a portion of the exhaust gas to flow to the bypass pipe 2 side.

As described above, in the exhaust gas purification device of the present invention, the exhaust gas main pipe to which the oxygen sensor is attached is provided with a bypass pipe that bypasses the oxygen sensor, and the two branch parts formed by the main pipe and the bypass pipe are separated. Since a flow control valve is placed at the upstream branch of the system, the flow rate of exhaust gas flowing through the main piping and bypass piping can be adjusted to prevent excessive heat load and oxygen sensor characteristics caused by poisonous substances in the exhaust gas. to prevent deterioration and damage. Further, it prevents deterioration of exhaust gas purification performance due to deterioration of oxygen sensor characteristics. Furthermore, since the exhaust gas flowing through the bypass pipe can be cooled, deterioration of the purification characteristics of the exhaust gas purification catalyst due to overheating can be reduced. Furthermore, since the degree of over-enrichment of the air-fuel ratio can be reduced, fuel efficiency and exhaust gas purification characteristics (HC, CO) are improved.
