Zusammenfassung: | An engine exhaust device includes: a first catalyst disposed in an exhaust passage of the engine to purify exhaust gas discharged from the engine; a second catalyst disposed downstream of the first catalyst in a direction of a flow of the exhaust gas to purify the exhaust gas that has passed through the first catalyst; and a tubular connecting member forming a part of the exhaust passage, and connecting the first catalyst to the second catalyst. The connecting member includes: a first opening located upstream in the flow of the exhaust gas; a second opening located downstream in the flow of the exhaust gas; and a bend connecting the first opening to the second opening. A downstream end surface of the first catalyst is connected to the first opening, and an upstream end surface of the second catalyst is connected to the second opening. The downstream end surface of the first catalyst and the upstream end surface of the second catalyst form a dihedral angle within a range from 60 to 120 degrees. A part of the upstream end surface of the second catalyst includes an overlap that is close and opposed to a part of a surface of the first catalyst. The bend of the connecting member includes: a first wall opposed to the downstream end surface of the first catalyst; a second wall opposed to the upstream end surface of the second catalyst; and a connector connecting the first wall to the second wall with a predetermined curvature radius. The first wall has a curve curving with a curvature radius, when the second opening is viewed from a front. The curvature radius of the first wall is greater than the predetermined curvature radius. |
