Can be. Therefore, element cracking of the oxygen concentration sensor 20 can be prevented, and a delay in starting control using the sensor value of the oxygen concentration sensor 20 can be prevented.
- the calorific value integrating unit 35 starts to accumulate the calorific value when the model temperature Tmdl reaches the integrating start threshold value Tmdl_thre. Accordingly, the integrated heat amount from the time when the generated condensed water starts to evaporate is calculated, and it is possible to accurately estimate the time when the condensed water is exhausted.

Therefore, it is possible to reduce the calculation load and the compatible load of the electronic control device 30 when the internal combustion engine 1 is automatically stopped.
- the correction unit 41 stops the calculation of the correction amount and resets the correction amount already reflected. Therefore, when the ambient temperature at the installation position of the oxygen concentration sensor 20 is lowered and the condensed water is likely to be generated, after the next restart, after the model temperature Tmdl becomes equal to or higher than the integration start threshold value Tmdl_thre. Since the integration of the amount of heat is started and compared with the energization start threshold ⁇ H_thre, it is possible to reduce the load on the electronic control unit 30 while enabling energization of the heater at an appropriate time. it can.
