<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an exhaust emission control device for an automobile capable of retarding the propagation of clogging etc. of an emission control element to the utmost. <P>SOLUTION: The exhaust emission control device for the automobile is structured so that the emission control element furnished with a filtrating material 6 etc. is accommodated in a body 1 and atomizing nozzles 10 mounted at the forefront of an exhaust gas pipe 8 and the forefront of a branch pipe 9 branching from the exhaust gas pipe 8 are installed upstream of the emission control element. A part on the way of the branch pipe 9 is put in communication with a washing water tank 11. When an accelerator pedal is stamped for starting the automobile etc., a selector valve 13 rotates right downward to open the branch pipe 9. The exhaust gas having flowed into the pipe 9 advances while it draws in the washing water from the tank 11, and the washing water is atomized from the nozzles 10 to purify the exhaust gas. Except when the accelerator pedal is stamped, the selector valve 13 blocks the branch pipe 9, and the exhaust gas is purified only by the purifier element. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
