Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Agricultural tractors as work vehicles work in fields or the like while self-propelled by power. The agricultural tractor is provided with left and right front wheels 2L and 2R that are on the front side of the fuselage 1 and can be driven and steered, and left and right rear wheels 3L and 3R on the rear side of the fuselage 1, and is powered in the bonnet 4 at the front of the fuselage 1. It includes an engine E as a source and a mission case 5 in which a transmission is installed. In the pair of left and right members, the reference numeral L in the figure indicates the left side, and the sign R indicates the right side.

A cabin 9 that surrounds the control space such as the driver's seat 6, the steering handle 7, and step 8 on the aircraft 1 is provided. The cabin 9 is composed of front and rear columns 10L, 10R, rear columns 11L, 11R, intermediate columns 12L, 12R, sheet metal materials such as a rear wall connecting the fenders 13L, 13R, and a ceiling portion 14 and the like. , Left and right doors 15L, 15R, rear window 16, glass walls of left and right windows 17L, 17R, etc. are arranged so as to be openable and closable.

At the rear part of the machine body 1, hydraulic arms 18L and 18R for ascending / descending and interlocking a connecting device (not shown) to which a working machine (not shown) such as a rotary can be mounted are rotatably provided. That is, a cylinder case 19 is provided in a lid shape on the rear upper part of the mission case 5, and an arm shaft 18S to which hydraulic arms 18L and 18R are connected is supported in a horizontal posture on the cylinder case 19, and the arm shaft 20 is rotated. It has a known configuration in which a cylinder formed in a cylinder case 19 is interlocked with a sliding piston (neither of them is shown) for dynamic interlocking. The lower part of the cylinder case 19 is formed in an open shape so as to communicate with the inside of the mission case 5.

The mission oil in the mission case 5 is also used as the hydraulic oil for rotating the hydraulic arms 18L and 18R, and the oil in the mission case is supplied to the cylinder in the cylinder case 19 via the switching valve by an unillustrated hydraulic pump. Alternatively, the piston is slidably operated while being discharged.

A communication hole is formed in the upper part of the cylinder case 19, and a hollow connecting pipe 20 is inserted and held. One end of the flexible breather hose 21 is fitted and connected to the connecting pipe 20. Then, the breather hose 21 is extended upward, and the upper end portion thereof is extended to the upper part of the lid 23a of the reserve tank 23 provided at a high place on the back side of the rear wall 22 constituting the cabin 9. A communication hole is formed in the lid portion 23a of the reserve tank 23, and the end portion of the breather hose 21 is connected via the connecting metal fitting 23b. Therefore, the oil transmitted through the breather hose 21 can be collected in the reserve tank 23.

A J-shaped curved hose 24 is further connected to the lid of the reserve tank 23, and the end thereof is formed at an open end, thereby forming a so-called breather that opens the tip to the atmosphere.

Further, the return hose 25 is connected via the branch fitting 21a at a high position near the reserve tank 23 of the breather hose 21. The lower end of the return hose 25 is appropriately connected to the tubular protrusion of the fuel filler port 26 provided at the upper portion on the rear end side of the cylinder case 19. The refueling port 26 is configured to be openable and closable by the refueling lid 26a. Since the return hose 25 is connected in this way, the oil transmitted through the breather hose 21 can be returned to the mission case 5.

Next, regarding the mounting configuration of the reserve tank 23, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the reserve tank stay 31 is configured on the back side of the rear wall 22 of the cabin 9. The reserve tank stay 31 is composed of a horizontal substrate portion 31a and a holder portion 31b protruding upward from the central portion, of which the substrate portion 31a is a horizontal reinforcement for connecting the left and right rear columns 11L and 11R of the cabin 9. It is fixedly supported by the frame 30 or the rear support column 11L so that the fitting recess formed on the rear surface side of the reserve tank 23 can be guided to the holder portion 31b, and the reserve tank 23 is spaced between the rear surface of the horizontal frame 30 and the holder portion 31b. It is configured so that it can be placed on the part and held detachably. In this way, the reserve tank 23 arranged at a high position is connected to the cylinder case 19 via the breather hose 21 and the return hose 25 is connected to the mission case 5. Therefore, even if the oil in the mission case 5 is ejected. Since the return hose 25 returns to the inside of the mission case 5 or is collected in the reserve tank 23, it is possible to prevent the oil from flowing out to the outside.

The washer tank stay 32 is fixed by using the reserve tank stay 31. That is, the washer tank stay 32 is formed by integrally molding the substrate portion 32a and the cover portion 32b having the tank mounting bolt fastening holes 32c formed at the upper and lower ends of the left and right end portions in a U-shape in a plan view. The substrate portion 32a of the above is configured to be polymerized on the substrate portion 31a of the reserve tank stay 31 and fixed by bolting (FIG. 4). The washer tank 33 is fixedly supported via the cover member 32b, that is, behind the reserve tank 23 (FIG. 5). The left and right ears formed in the washer tank 33 are provided with bolt insertion holes so that the bolts can be inserted and fastened so as to match the bolt fastening holes 32c for mounting the tank.

Therefore, the reserve tank 23 and the washer tank 33 can be arranged compactly in the front and rear, and maintenance is easy. The washer tank 33 has a known configuration for storing the washer fluid for cleaning the glass of the rear window 16 of the cabin 9.

In FIGS. 4 and 5, a cushioning rubber sheet 34 having a length that allows the rear surface and the upper surface side of the reserve tank 23 to be wound is provided. It is possible to prevent the breather hose 24 and the breather tank 23 from coming into contact with the glass of the rear window 16 and being damaged.

The rubber sheet 34 is an example of the cushioning sheet of the present invention.

Next, an example of the Lops specification of FIGS. 6 to 10 will be described. The members common to the above embodiment of the cabin specifications are indicated by the same reference numerals. The left and right rops lower columns 35L and 35R are connected by a horizontal frame 36 for reinforcement, and the reserve tank stay 37 of the reserve tank 23 is formed on the horizontal frame 36. The reserve tank stay 37 has an L-shaped side view, a main body portion 37a having a substrate portion bent downward, a holder portion 37b fixed so as to project upward from the substrate portion, and an opposing portion 37c facing the main body portion 37a. By connecting and fixing the main body portion 37a and the facing portion 37c via the horizontal frame 36, the reserve tank stay 37 is configured to be detachable and fixed to the horizontal frame 36. The holder portion 37b guides and holds the fitting recess formed in the reserve tank 23. As shown in FIG. 9, the reserve tank 23 is held so as to be located behind the holder portion 37b. In this respect, although the front-rear positional relationship with respect to the holder portion 31b or 37b is opposite to that of the cabin specifications of FIGS. 2 and 3, the reserve tank 23 itself can be used in common. That is, the reserve tank 23 is mounted by reversing the front and back. In this case, the mounting direction of the connecting metal fitting 23b with respect to the lid portion 23a is reversed by 180 degrees to mount the breather hose 21 and the J-shaped hose 24. Should be provided at the opposite position.

Then, the cover 38 may be provided so as to cover the upper and lower surfaces of the breather tank 23 and the rear surface. Further, protrusion metal fittings 37d are provided above and below the main body 37a of the reserve tank stay 37, and the upper and lower ends of the rubber cover 38 are hooked and held. The cover 38 can prevent the adhesion of mud scattered during the work (FIG. 10). If the predetermined molding cannot be maintained only with the flexible material, it is advisable to take appropriate molding maintenance measures such as adding a frame member. Further, in addition to a flexible material such as rubber, a resin material or a sheet metal material may be used.

In the above embodiment, the cylinder case 19 is arranged above the mission case 5 to connect the breather hose 21 to the cylinder case 19, and the transmission oil filler port 26 is similarly provided to the cylinder case 19. It may be provided directly on the mission case 5.
