[0030] In this embodiment, when the ultrasonic atomizing device for urea aqueous solution is applied to a vehicle, the front end of the exhaust pipe 10 is connected to the vehicle's engine tailpipe, containing NO. X Engine exhaust gas enters the exhaust pipe 10. The ultrasonic atomizer 20 atomizes liquid urea into urea droplets 401. The urea droplets 401 enter the intelligent delivery rod 30 and are sprayed into the exhaust pipe 10 through the urea nozzle 40. The urea droplets 401 evaporate upon heating, producing NH3 and NO.
