A regeneration device of an exhaust gas purification filter that reduces the regeneration time of the filter. The regeneration device includes a plurality of first temperature detectors (26a, 26b) arranged in casings to detect the temperature in each casing and a second temperature detector (26a, 26b) for detecting the temperature of the exhaust gas.
