JP 2010-166878 A

  The exhaust gas treatment device reduces nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas by supplying the reducing agent (urea water) stored in the reducing agent tank into the exhaust gas and performing reduction treatment using selective catalytic reduction (SCR). It is made to let you. Since the reducing agent (urea water) stored in the tank is consumed as the engine operates, it needs to be replenished when the remaining amount decreases.

  However, the above-described conventional configuration has a disadvantage in that it is difficult to perform the work of replenishing the reducing agent because the tank is installed at a position where the tank enters the airframe side on the airframe rear side of the engine. For example, in the configuration described in Patent Document 1, there is a feed chain of the threshing device at a location facing the outside of the tank body, and the lateral outer side of the tank cannot be greatly opened. It was difficult to replenish the agent.

  Therefore, it has been desired to make it possible to easily perform the replenishment work of the reducing agent to the reducing agent tank.

  The characteristic configuration of the combine according to the present invention includes an operating part located on the front side of the fuselage, a driving part located below the operating part, and nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas of the engine provided in the driving part An exhaust gas treatment device for reducing the exhaust gas, and a reducing agent tank for storing a reducing agent to be supplied to the exhaust gas treatment device, wherein the reducing agent tank is provided on the front side of the body from the engine. is there.

  According to the present invention, the driving unit is provided below the driving unit located on the front side of the machine body, and the engine is provided in the driving unit. That is, the engine is located below the driving unit. Further, a reducing agent tank is provided on the front side of the machine body from the engine.

  The driving unit includes a driving seat above the engine, and a driver is seated on the driving seat. The lower side of the driving unit is an empty area. In view of this, the reducing agent tank is provided by utilizing an empty area located below the front part of the machine body.

  In the driving part, a space for the driver to get in is formed at a location on the side of the airframe, and the upper side of the floor part is open for the driver to put his feet on. That is, the space outside the operating unit in which the reducing agent tank is accommodated is an open space without being provided with other devices. Therefore, the reductant is easily replenished by positioning the reductant tank below the operating unit and on the front side of the engine body.

  Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily perform the replenishment work of the reducing agent to the reducing agent tank.

Accordingly, the upper portion of the dosing unit 56 is supported by the main body processing unit 57 by this connection.

  The communication connection pipe 65 is configured by a flexible cylinder. Specifically, a bellows tube 65A, which is a bellows-shaped cylindrical body, is provided in the middle, and is configured to be able to bend and deform. By providing the bellows tube 65A, the vibration of the engine 21 is prevented from being transmitted to the second exhaust gas treatment device 47, and the second exhaust gas treatment device 47 is supported in a stable state.

  That is, the engine 21 is supported by the body frame 14 via the rubber mount mechanism 30 and the first exhaust gas treatment device 46 is connected and supported to the engine 21 as described above, whereas the second exhaust gas treatment device. 47 is supported on the body frame 14 via the support 24. Therefore, by absorbing the vibration with the bellows tube 65A, the second exhaust gas treatment device 47 can be supported in a stable state while allowing the vibration of the first exhaust gas treatment device 46 accompanying the vibration of the engine 21 to be allowed.

Next, a configuration for supplying urea water as a reducing agent to the second exhaust gas treatment device 47 will be described.
A urea water tank 71 for storing urea water is provided on the front side of the body from the engine 21. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 8, the urea water tank 71 is supported by the body frame 14 in a state of being located below the floor portion 19 of the operation unit 4. A battery 72 is provided on the front side of the machine body from the urea water tank 71.

It is extended. These support frames 73 </ b> A and 73 </ b> B function as receiving bodies that receive and support the floor portion 19 of the operating unit 4 when the operating unit structure 23 is in the closed state.

  As shown in FIGS. 4, 6, and 8, the urea water transport pipe 74 that connects the urea water tank 71 and the second exhaust gas treatment device 47, and the urea water stored in the urea water tank 71 is passed through the urea water transport pipe 74. A pump 75 for feeding to the second exhaust gas treatment device 47 is provided. The pump 75 is attached to a bracket 76 connected to the support frame 73 </ b> A in a state located between the engine 21 and the urea water tank 71 in a plan view. Since the support frame 73 </ b> A extends integrally from the body frame 14, the bracket 76 is supported by the body frame 14.
