Description

  The present invention relates to a bonnet structure of a turning work machine in which a turning board is supported on a traveling device so as to be rotatable around a turning axis.

A conventional swivel work machine such as a construction machine has a swivel board supported on a traveling device so as to be rotatable around a vertical swivel axis, and a bonnet for housing an engine is provided at the rear of the swivel board. The bonnet is provided with an opening / closing cover that covers the upper side of the engine, and the opening / closing cover is supported so as to be able to open and close in the vertical direction with the front end side as a fulcrum, and a damper that opens and closes the opening / closing cover around the horizontal axis is provided. Some have adopted the provided bonnet structure.
In the bonnet structure of this type of conventional swivel work machine, the open / close cover is simply composed of a plate material such as an iron plate or a synthetic resin plate, and the front end of the open / close cover is supported by a hinge so as to be openable and closable around a left and right support shaft. One end of the damper is attached to a frame or the like in the bonnet, and the other end of the damper is attached directly or via a stay member or the like on the inner surface side of the opening / closing cover. The opening / closing cover is opened and closed by applying the expansion / contraction force of the damper to the opening / closing cover (for example, Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-125742

Therefore, in the conventional case, since the force due to the expansion / contraction operation of the damper acts directly on the opening / closing cover, the opening / closing cover may be deformed if the rigidity of the opening / closing cover itself is weak, and the opening / closing cover needs to be formed of a thick plate material. was there. In addition, if the opening / closing cover itself has low rigidity, the opening / closing cover may rattle during the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing cover, and a smooth opening / closing operation may not be performed.
In view of the above problems, the present invention has been made so that there is no risk of the opening / closing cover being deformed by the force of the expansion / contraction operation of the damper even if the rigidity of the opening / closing cover itself is weak, and the opening / closing cover can be opened and closed smoothly. It is.

The technical means of the present invention for solving this technical problem includes a turning board supported on a traveling device so as to be rotatable about a turning axis in the vertical direction, and an engine at a rear portion on the turning board.

Since one end of the damper 71 is attached to the support frame 55 in the rear bonnet 15, and the other end of the damper 71 is attached to the free end side of the reinforcing frame 78. When the opening / closing cover 50 is opened and closed, the force due to the expansion / contraction operation of the damper 71 acts on the reinforcing frame 78, and the force due to the expansion / contraction operation of the damper 71 does not directly act on the opening / closing cover 50. Even if the rigidity of the door is weak, there is no possibility that the opening / closing cover 50 is deformed. Even if the rigidity of the opening / closing cover 50 itself is weak, the opening / closing cover 50 does not rattle by acting on the opening / closing cover 50 due to the expansion / contraction operation of the damper 71 when the opening / closing cover 50 is opened / closed. 50 can be opened and closed smoothly.

  A mounting frame 81 is arranged and fixed on the inner surface of one end of the opening / closing cover 50 in a direction orthogonal to the reinforcing frame 78, and one end of the reinforcing frame 78 is fixed to the mounting frame 81, and the mounting frame 81 is hinged. Since the piece 84 is provided in an outward projecting manner, and the projecting end of the hinge piece 84 is supported on the support frame 55 side in the bonnet 15 so as to be rotatable around the support shaft 86, the mounting frame 81 can be opened and closed. One end side of the opening / closing cover 50 that is the fulcrum side can be effectively reinforced, and the opening / closing cover 50 can be held with a simple structure of the mounting frame 81 and the reinforcing frame 78 having rigidity.

  Further, a connecting plate 79 is provided in the middle of the reinforcing frame 78, and the connecting plate 79 is disposed between the reinforcing frame 78 and the inner surface of the opening / closing cover 50, and the middle of the reinforcing frame 78 is opened / closed via the connecting plate 79. Since it is fixed to the inner surface of the cover 50 and the connecting plate 79 is fixed to the lower inner surface of the inclined portion 74 of the opening / closing cover 50 so as to be close to the bent line A portion between the inclined portion 74 and the hanging portion 75, Since the middle portion of the reinforcing frame 78 is fixed in the vicinity of the bent line A portion of the opening / closing cover 50 whose rigidity is relatively strong by bending, the deformation of the opening / closing cover is also performed from this point. This can be effectively prevented, and the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing cover can be performed more smoothly.

  In addition, a sound absorbing material 76 is provided on the inner surface of the opening / closing cover 50, and the reinforcing frame 78 is formed of a plate material bent in an arc shape along the inner surface of the opening / closing cover 50, and inward in the plate width direction from the inner surface of the opening / closing cover 50. Since the inner end surface of the reinforcing frame 78 is set to a height that substantially coincides with the inner surface of the sound absorbing material 76, the reinforcing frame 78 is opened when the opening / closing cover 50 is opened. It can be hidden by the sound absorbing material 76 to make it inconspicuous, the appearance is improved, the protrusions on the inner surface side of the opening / closing cover 50 are reduced, and the inside of the opening / closing cover 50 can be prevented from being narrowed by the reinforcing frame 78. The problem of impeding the cooling performance of the engine is eliminated by the reinforcing frame 78.
