Exhaust gas sensor arrangement structure and exhaust control system

Abstract

The present invention relates to an exhaust gas sensor arrangement structure comprising: an exhaust pipe 6 extending from an engine 3 to form a part of an exhaust flow path; an exhaust valve 7 that adjusts an aperture of the exhaust flow path; and a first exhaust gas sensor 8a that detects a predetermined component in an exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust flow path. The first exhaust gas sensor has a detector 80 arranged to protrude into the exhaust flow path. The exhaust valve includes a plate-like valve body 70 that expands and reduces a flow path cross section of the exhaust flow path, and a rotating shaft 71 extending in a direction intersecting with an axial direction of the exhaust flow path and serving as a rotation center of the valve body. A downstream end of the valve body approaches the detector as the valve body is rotated in a direction of reducing the flow path cross section.
