Disclosed herein is an exhaust gas control device for internal combustion engines. The exhaust gas control device has a main exhaust pipe (3) communicating with an exhaust manifold (2) used for guiding exhaust gas discharged from a combustion chamber ( 1) of an engine, a catalytic converter (6) arranged on a predetermined position of the main exhaust pipe (3) for purifying unburnt fuel discharged with the exhaust has and having a plurality of sequentially arranged catalyst units (6a, 6b, 6c), and an unburnt fuel collection tank (8) provided with a plurality of cooling fins (9) and connected to the catalytic converter (6) through a branch pipe (7). The collection tank (8) collects purified unburnt fuel after the unburnt fuel is treated by the catalytic converter (6) so as to remove noxious materials therefrom.

What is claimed is: 1. An exhaust gas control device for internal combustion engines, comprising: a main exhaust pipe communicating with an exhaust manifold used for guiding exhaust gas discharged from a combustion chamber of an engine; a catalytic converter arranged on a predetermined position of the main exhaust pipe for purifying unburnt fuel discharged with the exhaust gas, said converter having a plurality of sequentially arranged catalyst units; and an unburnt fuel collection tank provided with a plurality of cooling fins and connected to the catalytic converter through a branch pipe, whereby the collection tank collects purified unburnt fuel after the unburnt fuel is treated by the catalytic converter so as to remove noxious materials therefrom. 2. The exhaust gas control device according to claim 1, wherein said collection tank comprises an H-shaped sound arresting plate having a plurality of perforations for reducing noise of inlet exhaust gas, and a drain cock for selectively discharging liquid fuel from a lower portion of the collection tank. 3. The exhaust gas control device according to claim 1, wherein said main exhaust pipe having the catalytic converter communicates with a return channel used for returning the exhaust gas to an intake manifold of the combustion chamber, said return channel including: a cooling unit for reducing the temperature of exhaust gas discharged through the main exhaust pipe; a filter unit for removing noxious materials contained in the exhaust gas from the cooling unit; an outlet pipe branched from the return channel at a position after the filter unit and connected to an air cleaner; and a water supply unit for supplying water to the exhaust gas returning through the return channel between the filter unit and the intake manifold. 4. The exhaust gas control device according to claim 3 wherein said water supply unit comprises a water reservoir, a nozzle pipe extending from the water reservoir to the return channel, and a compressed air tank for supplying compressed air to the nozzle pipe in response to an operation of a control pump.
