Abstract

Sensing accuracy of a temperature sensor is enhanced so as to accurately conduct regeneration control of a particulate filter.Disclosed is an exhaust emission control device wherein a pair of dispersion plates 10 and 11 with a number of communicating holes 10a and 11a are arranged in a filter casing 7 incorporated in an exhaust pipe such that the plates are opposed to each other in a direction of flows of exhaust gas 3, catalytic regenerative particulate filter 6 being received in a reception chamber 12 defined by and between the dispersion plates 10 and 11. A temperature sensor 14 is arranged in the filter casing 7 so as to detect exhaust temperature in the reception chamber 12, a sensing element 15 of the temperature sensor 14 being adapted to be in one of flows of the exhaust gas 3.
