Abstract
An exhaust gas purification device of an internal combustion engine having a NOx catalyst provided to an exhaust passage for occluding NOx in a lean atmosphere and for reducing the occluded NOx in a rich atmosphere has an exhaust gas recirculation passage for recirculating the exhaust gas from the exhaust passage to an intake passage, an exhaust gas recirculation valve provided in the exhaust gas recirculation passage, a rich combustion control section for performing rich combustion in the internal combustion engine, and an exhaust gas recirculation valve control section for controlling an opening degree of the exhaust gas recirculation valve to conform a pressure value in the intake passage to a predetermined pressure value while the rich combustion control section performs the rich combustion.
