The pair of rail members 32 of the storage box 26 are slid in the channel-shaped grooves of the pair of rail members 32 and stored in the storage box 26. The connector 29 of the slide plate 30 is connected to the connector 26g of the storage box 26. Cover 34 in storage box 2
6, and the opening 26a is closed by bolts 36.

(2) Removal of electrical components: When removing electrical components 28 from storage box 26 for inspection and replacement,
Contrary to the case where the slide plate 30 to which the electrical components 28 are assembled is stored, the bolt 36 is removed, the cover 34 is removed, the opening 26a is opened, and the connector 29 of the slide plate 30 and the connector 26g of the storage box 26 are connected. The connection is cut off, and the slide plate 30 is slid in the channel-like grooves of the pair of rail members 32, 32 and taken out through the opening 26a.

(3) Therefore, the inspection and replacement of the electrical component 28 can be performed without removing the seat 9 attached to the seat mounting surface 26b of the seat mounting base 16 without removing the seat 9.
6, the connector 34 of the slide plate 30 is disconnected from the connector 26g of the storage box 26, and the slide plate 30 with the electrical components 28 attached thereto can be pulled out through the opening 26a. It can be done easily. Further, since the slide plate 30 is drawn out into a space provided for driving operation in front of the seat 9, a sufficient space is provided and the slide plate 30 is easily drawn out.

(4) The slide plate 30 on which the electrical component 28 is assembled is elastically held between the lips 32c, 32c of the rail 32b of the rail member 32.
Well protected against impact. Further, by closing the opening 26a of the storage box 26 with the cover 34,
The electrical component 28 can be sufficiently protected from dust, obstacles, “mischief” and the like.

(5) Since the slide plate 30 for assembling the electrical components 28 can be easily taken in and out, the electrical components can be easily incorporated, the function can be checked, and the specifications can be easily changed in the construction machine manufacturing stage.

As described above, the present invention has been described in detail based on the embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be variously modified or modified within the scope of the present invention. It is.

(1) In the embodiment of the present invention, the storage box 26 is formed on the substantially rectangular box-shaped sheet mounting base 16, but the sheet mounting base does not necessarily have to be a rectangular parallelepiped box-shaped. When the mounting base is formed by providing a seat mounting surface on a part of the frame of the body of the construction machine,
A storage box may be formed in the frame.

(2) In the embodiment of the present invention, a rail member 32 is provided inside the storage box 26 so that the slide plate 30 serving as an electrical component mounting base can be taken in and out, and a cross-sectional channel thereof is provided. The slide plate 30 is slidably held by the groove, but can be slid using other appropriate means such as a roller means.

(3) Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the cover 34 as the lid is attached to the storage box 26 with the bolt 36, but the cover 34 can be freely opened and closed using the hinge means on the storage box 26. The cover 34 may be integrally attached to the slide plate 30, and the opening 26a may be opened and closed as the slide plate 30 is taken in and out.

(4) In the embodiment of the present invention, when the slide plate 30 is pulled out from the storage box 26, the connector 29 for connection of the electrical component 28 and the connector 26g of the storage box 26 are separated. Electrical component 28 provided on slide plate 30 and connector 2
By setting the length of the harness connecting to the connector 9 sufficiently long, it is possible to eliminate the need to disconnect the connector 29 from the connector 26g when pulling out the slide plate 30 from the storage box 26.
