Definitions

  • the present invention relates to work vehicles, and specifically relates to riding work vehicles such as tractors.
  • JP 2015-163512A discloses a work vehicle provided with an air cleaner that cleans air supplied to an engine.
  • This work vehicle is provided with a hood located forward of a driver section, and an engine is provided inside the hood.
  • An air cleaner that takes in external air, removes dust or the like from the external air that has been taken in, and supplies clean air to the engine is provided inside the hood.
  • This air cleaner extends in a front-rear direction of the machine body of the work vehicle, and clean air from the air cleaner is supplied to the engine via a turbocharger, which is a pipe extending in the front-rear direction of the machine body.
  • a turbocharger which is a pipe extending in the front-rear direction of the machine body.
  • the turbocharger is a pipe extending in the front-rear direction of the machine body, and is attached to an upper end portion of the engine. Therefore, clean air from the air cleaner is supplied to the engine via a pipe that is bent toward the upper end portion of the engine at the rear end in the front-rear direction of the machine body.
  • the engine takes in air from a portion where the engine is connected to the pipe, and noise generated in the portion where the engine takes in air reaches the driver section located rearward of the engine.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a work vehicle that can reduce noise that reaches the driver section.
  • WO 03/054373 and JP2011-021571A disclose each a similar vehicle with a coupling tube coupled between the engine and the air cleaner and extending in a right-left direction.
  • a work vehicle as below is proposed in correspondence with First Related Art:
  • a work vehicle comprising:
  • the coupling tube between the air cleaner and the engine is coupled to the engine, while extending in the right-left direction of the travel vehicle body and being coupled to the air cleaner.
  • the coupling tube includes a section that extends in the right-left direction of the travel vehicle body, and therefore processed air flowing through the coupling tube also flows in the right-left direction and is brought to the engine. Therefore, at least some of the noise generated in an intake portion where the engine is coupled to the coupling tube and from which processed air is taken into the engine does not travel rearward of the travel vehicle body, but instead travels in the right-left direction of the travel vehicle body along with the processed air flowing in the right-left direction. As a result, it is possible to reduce noise generated in the intake portion and travelling toward the driver section provided rearward of the air cleaner and the engine.
  • the longitudinal direction of the air cleaner is parallel with the right-left direction of the travel vehicle body, a larger amount of external air taken in by the air cleaner flows in the right-left direction than in the front-rear direction. Therefore, it is possible to further reduce noise generated in the intake portion and travelling toward the driver section provided rearward of the air cleaner and the engine.
  • the coupling tube extends from the engine in the right-left direction of the travel vehicle body, thereafter curves toward the exhaust portion, and is coupled to the exhaust portion.
  • the exhaust portion is provided on a side of the air cleaner. Therefore, while a configuration in which the coupling tube coupled to the engine extends in the right-left direction is employed, the coupling tube can be easily connected to the air cleaner.
  • the intake tube extends from a portion where the intake tube is coupled to the air cleaner, thereafter extends to a position forward of the air cleaner, and curves and extends to a position that is rearward with respect to the travel vehicle body.
  • the intake tube does not extend rearward directly from the air cleaner, but instead first extends to a position that is forward of the air cleaner, and thereafter curves and extends rearward. Therefore, the flow in the front-rear direction of air taken in from an open end of the intake tube is weakened in the curved portion. As a result, it is possible to further reduce noise travelling toward the driver section.
  • the work vehicle further includes a radiator that is provided rearward of the engine and cools cooling water for cooling the engine; and a cooling fan that is provided immediately forward of the radiator, and an end portion, from which external air is taken in, of the intake tube is located rearward of the radiator.
  • the rear end portion of the intake tube is located rearward of the radiator. Therefore, it is possible to realize a configuration in which cooling air that has not been supplied to the radiator is taken into the air cleaner via the intake tube. As a result, it is unlikely that incomplete combustion occurs in the engine due to the lack of air.

  • the coupling tube 63 between the air cleaner 24 and the engine 21 does not extend in the right-left direction, but instead extends rearward with respect to the travel vehicle body 100 and is coupled to the air cleaner 24, processed air that is brought from the air cleaner 24 to the engine 21 via the coupling tube 63 travels in the front-rear direction of the travel vehicle body 100. Therefore, noise generated in the intake portion where the engine 21 and the coupling tube 63 are coupled to each other travels rearward along with processed air flowing in the front-rear direction. For example, when the tractor travels forward, processed air flows rearward inside the hood 20, and noise travels further rearward toward the driver section 4.

  • the intake tube 61 includes the intake curved portion 61c that does not extend rearward directly from the air cleaner 24, but instead first extends to a position that is forward of the air cleaner 24 and thereafter curves and extends rearward. Therefore, the flow of air taken in from the intake open end portion 61a of the intake tube 61 is weakened in the curved portion. As a result, it is possible to further reduce noise travelling toward the driver section 4.
  • the air cleaner 24 is provided with the air intake port 24a and the intake tube 61, external air can be taken in from a plurality of positions. Therefore, it is possible to ensure that a sufficient amount of air is supplied to the engine 21. As a result, it is unlikely that incomplete combustion occurs in the engine 21 due to the lack of air.
