  By the way, in the conventional technology described above, for example, even when a canopy-type hydraulic excavator is used, there are cases where it is desired to perform various operations by extending the working device to a position higher than the upper surface of the canopy.

  However, in a small hydraulic excavator to which the canopy specification is applied, since the working device is also relatively small, it is often not assumed that the working device is extended to a high position. For this reason, in the prior art, the guard member is not provided in the hydraulic excavator of canopy specification, and there exists a problem that the operation content using a hydraulic excavator is restrict | limited.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to protect an operator seated in a driver's seat from falling objects even in a canopy specification vehicle, and to improve the operator's working environment. It is another object of the present invention to provide a construction machine that can be held at a high position and can smoothly perform work at a high position by a working device.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention is a self-propelled lower traveling body, an upper revolving body that is turnably mounted on the lower traveling body, and a front-rearly movable upper and lower revolving body. The upper revolving structure includes a revolving frame formed as a support structure, a driver seat provided on the revolving frame and seated by an operator, and the operation structure provided on the revolving frame. The present invention is applied to a construction machine including a canopy having an upper surface portion that covers a seat from above.

  A feature of the configuration adopted by the invention of claim 1 is that the canopy is provided with a guard that projects forward from the upper surface portion and protects an operator seated on the driver's seat from falling objects. is there.

And a protective plate made of possible materials.

  Moreover, according to invention of Claim 3, it is set as the structure which provides a vibration proof member between the said frame and a protective plate.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the frame is provided with a reinforcing stay having a quadrangular cross section, and the stay is one of the four sides forming the cross section of the stay. Is inclined and arranged so as to face the driver's seat side.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the upper surface of the canopy is provided with a ceiling window that secures an upper field of view of an operator seated on the driver's seat, and the guard is provided with a portion that covers the ceiling window of the canopy It is said.

  According to invention of Claim 1, the guard which protrudes ahead from the upper surface part of a canopy can be provided. As a result, even when falling objects such as earth and sand and stones fall from the top of the canopy when working with construction machinery, the falling objects reach the vicinity of the operator seated in the driver's seat, peripheral equipment, etc. Can be prevented by the guard.

  Therefore, for example, even when the work device is extended to a position higher than the canopy to perform various operations, the operator and its peripheral devices can be reliably protected from falling objects, and the operator's work environment can be maintained well. it can. For this reason, even in a canopy-type construction machine, work at a high position can be performed smoothly, and adaptability to various kinds of work can be improved.

  Moreover, according to invention of Claim 2, a guard can be formed with a frame and a protection board. As a result, for example, a material having high strength and rigidity can be used for the frame body, and other lightweight materials can be used for the protective plate. Strength can be given.

  On the other hand, the protective plate can be formed of, for example, a material such as transparent resin or glass, or a lattice-like or mesh-like transparent material. Thereby, the operator seated in the driver's seat can confirm the surrounding situation by seeing through the protective plate projecting upward. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the operator's field of view from becoming narrow due to the guard, and the operator's field of view can be well secured even at the position of the guard.

  According to the invention of claim 3, the frame can support the protective plate via a vibration isolating member such as rubber, for example, and can stabilize the mounting state of the protective plate. As a result, it is possible to prevent rattling or the like from occurring on the protective plate due to vibrations transmitted from the vehicle body side, and vibration resistance can be improved.

In this case, the four sides of the stay can be tilted so that one side forming the cross-sectional shape of the stay faces the driver's seat. This makes it possible to reduce the outline (projected area) of the stay as seen from the operator seated on the driver's seat as compared to, for example, the case where the stay sides are arranged vertically (or horizontally). For this reason, it is possible to avoid the stay from interfering with the operator's field of view as much as possible, and the field of view of the operator can be well maintained while securing the strength of the guard by the stay.

  Further, according to the invention of claim 5, the canopy ceiling window can be covered by a part of the guard, and the ceiling window can be protected from falling objects by this portion. Thereby, the component which protects a ceiling window, and the bowl-shaped component which protrudes ahead of a canopy can be formed as one guard. As a result, the number of parts related to the guard can be reduced, so that the assembly work of the vehicle can be made efficient and the productivity can be increased.

  The hydraulic excavator 1 according to the present embodiment has the above-described configuration. Next, the operation thereof will be described.

  First, the operator can sit on the driver's seat 9 and operate the traveling lever / pedal 10 in this state to cause the lower traveling body 2 to travel. Further, by operating the work lever 11, the upper turning body 3 can be turned, or the work device 4 can be moved up and down to perform excavation work of earth and sand.

  At this time, the excavator 1 may take a posture (small turning posture) such that the working device 4 is within the turning radius by folding the working device 4 and raising the working device 4 to a position close to vertical. In this state, the operator can easily confirm the state of the bucket 4E and the like located above the canopy 12 from the ceiling window 13.

  Further, for example, even when earth and sand, stones, or the like accommodated in the bucket 4E spills down toward the ceiling window 13 below, the fallen objects collide with the ceiling window 13 by the skylight protection unit 15 of the guard 14. can do.

  On the other hand, at the time of excavation work using the hydraulic excavator 1, the work device 4 is extended to a position higher than the upper surface portion 12H of the canopy 12, as described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-142785. There is a case that the cutting work such as. During such work, falling objects such as earth and sand and stone may fall from the upper side of the canopy 12 to the front side.

  However, since the protective plate 17 of the guard 14 protrudes in front of the upper surface portion 12H of the canopy 12, it prevents the fallen object from colliding with an operator seated in the driver's seat 9 and equipment such as the traveling lever / pedal 10. can do. In addition, the operator can smoothly proceed with the work while confirming the state of the excavation site through the protective plate 17 in this state.

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, since the guard 14 protruding forward is provided on the upper surface portion 12H side of the canopy 12, when the hydraulic excavator 1 is used, for example, falling objects such as earth and sand, stones, etc. Even if it falls from above the canopy 12, the guard 14 can prevent the fallen object from reaching the vicinity of the operator seated on the driver's seat 9 or colliding with, for example, the travel lever / pedal 10 or the like. it can.

  Therefore, for example, even when the work device 4 is extended to a position higher than the canopy 12 and various kinds of work are performed, the operator and its peripheral devices can be reliably protected from falling objects, and the work environment of the operator is favorably maintained. be able to. For this reason, even in the canopy-type hydraulic excavator 1, work at a high position can be performed smoothly, and adaptability to various kinds of work can be improved.

  In this case, since the guard 14 is formed by the skylight protection portion 15, the frame body 16, and the protection plate 17, for example, a steel material having high strength and rigidity can be used for the skylight protection portion 15 and the frame body 16. In addition, a lightweight material such as a resin material can be used for the protective plate 17. Therefore, even if the guard 14 having a large area is formed, it is possible to give sufficient strength to the guard 14 while suppressing the weight of the entire guard 14.

  In addition, since the protective plate 17 is formed of a material such as a transparent resin plate or glass, an operator seated on the driver's seat 9 can check the surrounding situation by seeing through the guard 14 projecting upward. it can. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the operator's field of view from becoming narrow due to the guard 14 being obstructed, and the operator's field of view can be well secured even at the position of the guard 14. In addition, by forming the protective plate 17 with a plate material, the guard 14 can also have a function as a rain guard, and workability can be improved during work in the rain.

  On the other hand, since the anti-vibration rubber 21 is provided between the frame 16 and the protective plate 17, the frame 16 can support the protective plate 17 via the anti-vibration rubber 21, and the attachment state of the protective plate 17. Can be stabilized. As a result, it is possible to prevent rattling or the like from occurring on the protective plate 17 due to vibrations transmitted from the vehicle body side, and vibration resistance can be improved.

  Moreover, since the ceiling window 13 of the canopy 12 is covered by the skylight protection section 15 of the guard 14, the ceiling window 13 can be protected from falling objects by the skylight protection section 15. Thereby, the part which protects the ceiling window 13 and the bowl-shaped part which protrudes ahead of the canopy 12 can be formed as one guard 14, and the number of parts related to the guard 14 can be reduced. This makes it possible to increase the productivity by increasing the efficiency of vehicle assembly work.

As shown in FIGS. 10 and 12, the stay 33 is made of, for example, an elongated prismatic steel material or the like, and has a short cross-sectional shape. It is formed in a rectangular (quadrangle) shape having four sides composed of the sides 33A and 33A and the long sides 33B and 33B.

  The stay 33 extends left and right between the front frame 32A and the rear frame 32B, connects the connecting beams 32G to each other, and both ends in the length direction are fixed to the left frame 32C and the right frame 32D. Has been. Thus, the stay 33 forms a lattice-like support structure that supports the protection plate 17 together with the connecting beams 32G, and reinforces the front side of the guard 31.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the stay 33 is arranged with the four sides 33 </ b> A and 33 </ b> B inclined obliquely so that, for example, one short side 33 </ b> A faces the driver's seat 9. Specifically, when the operator seated in the driver's seat 9 looks up the protective plate 17 obliquely, if the direction A of the line of sight is inclined by an angle θ with respect to the vertical direction, the short side of the stay 33 33A is inclined toward the driver's seat 9 side by an angle θ with respect to the horizontal direction.

  In this state, the short side 33A of the stay 33 is arranged perpendicularly to the line-of-sight direction A, so that the contour of the stay 33 (projected area S in FIG. 12) can be minimized when viewed from the operator. It is possible to avoid 33 from interfering with the field of view as much as possible.

  Thus, in the present embodiment configured as described above, it is possible to obtain substantially the same operational effects as those of the first embodiment. In particular, in the present embodiment, the stay 33 is provided on the frame body 32 of the guard 31, so that the strength of the frame body 32 can be increased by the stay 33 and the durability of the guard 31 can be improved. it can.

  In this case, the stay 33 is arranged with the short side 33A and the long side 33B inclined obliquely so that one short side 33A faces the driver's seat 9 side. Accordingly, the outline of the stay (projection area S) can be reduced as viewed from the operator seated on the driver's seat 9 as compared with the case where the four sides of the stay 33 are arranged vertically (or horizontally), for example. Accordingly, the stay 33 can secure the strength of the guard 31 and can also maintain the operator's field of view.
