  By the way, in the DPF which is an example of the exhaust gas purification device, soot in the exhaust gas accumulates on the soot filter over time, so that the soot filter is regenerated by burning off soot when the diesel engine is driven. Yes. As is well known, the soot filter regeneration operation occurs when the exhaust gas temperature is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature (for example, about 300 ° C.). Therefore, it is desirable that the exhaust gas temperature passing through the DPF is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature. For this reason, conventionally, there is a demand to place the DPF at a position where the exhaust gas temperature is high, that is, at or near the diesel engine itself.

Therefore, the upper surfaces of the cylinder head 72, the exhaust manifold 71, and the intake manifold 73 are exposed, and maintenance work is easy.

  As described above, the exhaust gas inlet pipe 16 on one end in the longitudinal direction of the DPF 1 is connected to the outlet portion on the left end side of the exhaust manifold 71 via the connecting member 86, so that the DPF 1 is connected to the diesel engine 70. The engine output shaft 74 is disposed within a lateral width in the direction of the engine output shaft 74. As a result, when the diesel engine 70 is viewed from the intake manifold 73 side (see FIG. 5), most of the DPF 1 is hidden by the diesel engine 70.

  As shown in FIG.6 and FIG.7, the front end side of the 1st leg bracket 19a as a supporting leg body is detachably fastened to the seat board body 9 located in the longitudinal direction one end side of DPF1 with the volt | bolt. The base end side of the first leg bracket 19a is detachably fastened to the left side surface of the cylinder head 72 on the flywheel housing 78 with a bolt. Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, the front end side of the second leg bracket 19b as a support leg is detachably fastened to the filter side outlet flange 40 near the other end in the longitudinal direction of the DPF 1 with a bolt. ing. The base end side of the second leg bracket 19b is detachably fastened to the front surface of the cylinder head 72 on the exhaust manifold 71 side with a bolt.

  The rigid connection member 86 interposed between the outlet portion of the exhaust manifold 71 and the exhaust gas inlet pipe 16 of the DPF 1 may simply have an exhaust gas passage inside. The connecting member 86 incorporates an exhaust throttle valve 87 (see FIG. 9) for adjusting the exhaust pressure of the diesel engine 70. When soot accumulates on the soot filter 3, the exhaust pressure of the diesel engine 70 is increased by the operation control of the exhaust throttle valve 87 in the connecting member 86, and the exhaust gas temperature from the diesel engine 70 is increased. By doing so, the soot deposited on the soot filter 3 can be burned. As a result, the soot disappears and the soot filter 3 is regenerated.

  Therefore, when the exhaust throttle valve 87 is built in the connecting member 86, the exhaust pressure by the exhaust throttle valve 87 is maintained even when an operation in which the load is small and the temperature of the exhaust gas tends to decrease (operation in which soot is likely to accumulate) is continued. Thus, the soot filter 3 can be regenerated by the forced increase, and the exhaust gas purification ability of the DPF 1 can be properly maintained. Further, a burner or the like for burning the soot deposited on the soot filter 3 becomes unnecessary. Further, when the diesel engine 70 is started, if the exhaust pressure of the diesel engine 70 is increased by controlling the operation of the exhaust throttle valve 87 and the exhaust gas temperature from the diesel engine 70 is increased, the diesel engine 70 is warmed up. Can promote.

  Further, since the connecting member 86 is located upstream of the DPF 1 in the exhaust gas movement direction, the connecting member 86 is replaced with an inlet side exhaust gas pressure sensor, an inlet side exhaust gas temperature sensor, etc. (Not shown) may be connected. A heater for directly increasing the temperature of the exhaust gas sent to the DPF 1 may be built in the connecting member 86. The length of the connecting member 86 in the exhaust gas movement direction is preferably set as short as possible so that the distance between the outlet of the exhaust manifold 71 and the exhaust gas inlet pipe 16 of the DPF 1 is as short as possible.

  The exhaust gas that has moved from the outlet of the exhaust manifold 71 into the DPF 1 via the exhaust gas inlet pipe 16 is purified by the DPF 1 and then moved from the exhaust gas outlet pipe 34 to the tail pipe (not shown). Eventually it will be discharged out of the machine.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6 to 9, an EGR cooler 147 that cools the EGR gas using the cooling water of the diesel engine 70 as a refrigerant is disposed above the exhaust manifold 71 in the front surface of the cylinder head 73. ing. Although details are omitted, the EGR cooler 147 has a known structure including a cylindrical outer case and a plurality of heat exchange tubes provided in the outer case. The internal space of each heat exchange tube communicates with the EGR gas inlet 168 and the outlet 169 of the EGR cooler 147 (outer case).

  As shown in FIGS. 6 to 9, the EGR gas inlet 168 of the EGR cooler 147 is connected to the exhaust manifold 71 through a cylindrical EGR gas take-out pipe 177. The EGR gas outlet 169 is connected in communication with the inlet side of the recirculation exhaust gas pipe 148. The recirculation exhaust gas pipe 148 is routed on the upper surface side of the cylinder head 72, and the outlet side thereof is connected to the collector 145 via the EGR valve member 149. The EGR gas appropriately cooled after passing through the EGR cooler 147 is sent from the EGR gas outlet 169 to the recirculation exhaust gas pipe 148 via the EGR gas discharge pipe 183 in the cylindrical part 182, and to the intake manifold 73 side. Supplied.

  The EGR cooler 147 (outer case) is provided with a cooling water inlet portion 170 and a cooling water outlet portion 171 that communicate with the surrounding space of each heat exchange tube. By filling the periphery of each heat exchange tube with the cooling water supplied from the cooling water inlet 170 into the outer case, the EGR gas flowing through each heat exchange tube is heat-exchanged, and the EGR gas temperature decreases. . As a result, the combustion temperature is kept low while suppressing the generation of black smoke (smoke) during combustion, and the effect of reducing the amount of NOx in the exhaust gas is enhanced. The cooling water supplied into the EGR cooler 147 is discharged from the cooling water outlet 171.

  As shown in detail in FIG. 9, a cooling water flow path 172 from the cooling water pump 159 to the EGR cooler 147 is provided on the front side (exhaust manifold 71 side) of the diesel engine 70. The cooling water from the cooling water pump 159 is configured not only to be supplied to a water cooling jacket (not shown) of the diesel engine 70 but also to supply a part to the cooling water flow path 172. That is, the cooling water flow path 172 is configured as a separate system from the cooling water system (path toward the water cooling jacket) to the diesel engine 70 itself.

  In this case, a cooling water discharge portion 173 (also referred to as a discharge port) protruding from the cooling water pump 159 to the exhaust manifold 71 side (front side) is connected to the cooling water inlet portion 170 of the EGR cooler 147 via the feed pipe 174. Communication connection is established. The cooling water outlet 171 of the EGR cooler 147 is connected to the thermostat case 160 through a return pipe 176. Therefore, a part of the cooling water from the cooling water pump 159 is supplied from the EGR cooler 147 to the thermostat case 160 and circulates.

  As is clear from the above description and FIGS. 4 and 6 to 8, the diesel engine 70 having the intake manifold 73 and the exhaust manifold 71 and the DPF 1 for purifying exhaust gas from the diesel engine 70 are provided. The engine device is mounted on a work vehicle, and the outlet of the exhaust manifold 71 projects forward (laterally), and the exhaust gas inlet pipe 16 and the exhaust gas are disposed at one end in the longitudinal direction and the other end in the longitudinal direction of the DPF 1. The outlet pipes 34 are provided so as to be distributed, and the exhaust gas inlet pipe 16 is connected to the outlet portion of the exhaust manifold 71 so that the DPF 1 is positioned in front (side) of the diesel engine 70.

  For this reason, the DPF 1 communicates with the exhaust manifold 71 at a close distance, and the exhaust gas from the diesel engine 70 can be supplied to the DPF 1 without much temperature decrease. Therefore, it is easy to maintain the DPF 1 at an appropriate temperature, and the exhaust gas purification performance is improved. Since the exhaust gas purification performance is improved, the size of the diesel oxidation catalyst 2 and the soot filter 3 can be reduced, and the DPF 1 can be reduced in size and size. Further, since the exhaust gas inlet pipe 16 is connected to the outlet of the exhaust manifold 71 and the DPF 1 is positioned in front (side) of the diesel engine 70, the exhaust manifold 71 that is a highly rigid part of the diesel engine 70 is provided. By utilizing this, the DPF 1 can be supported with high rigidity, and damage to the DPF 1 due to vibration or the like can be suppressed.

  As is apparent from the above description and FIG. 6, the rigid connecting member 86 is interposed between the outlet of the exhaust manifold 71 and the exhaust gas inlet pipe 16 of the DPF 1. Thus, the connection strength between the exhaust manifold 71 and the DPF 1 can be improved. Accordingly, the DPF 1 can be firmly supported by the exhaust manifold 71 (including the connecting member 86).

  As is clear from the above description and FIGS. 6 to 8, the cylinder head 72 of the diesel engine 70 includes the first and second leg brackets 19 a and 19 b that support the DPF 1. Since it is connected to the cylinder head 72 via the two-leg brackets 19a and 19b and is located in front (side) of the exhaust manifold 71, the exhaust manifold 71 and the first and second leg brackets 19a and 19b are used. Due to the support, the DPF 1 can be connected to the front (side) of the exhaust manifold 71 with high rigidity and stability. Therefore, it is highly effective in preventing damage to the DPF 1 due to vibration or the like.

  Further, since it is possible to ship the DPF 1 incorporated in the diesel engine 70 at the manufacturing site of the diesel engine 70, there is an advantage that the diesel engine 70 and the DPF 1 can be configured in a compact manner. When the diesel engine 70 is mounted in the engine room of a work vehicle (backhoe 100, forklift car 120), etc., when the front side of the exhaust manifold 71 is provided in the engine room, the configuration of the first embodiment is adopted. Is preferred.

An engine device mounted on a work vehicle including an EGR cooler 147 for cooling gas, and a cooling water pump 159 and an EGR cooler 147 are disposed on the exhaust manifold 71 side of the diesel engine 70, and cooling Since the cooling water flow path 172 that connects the water pump 159 and the EGR cooler 147 is piped to the exhaust manifold 71 side of the diesel engine 70, the cooling water flow path 172 for the EGR cooler 147 is connected to the cooling water pump 159 and the EGR cooler 147. Exhaust manifold It will be settled on the field 71 side. Therefore, the cooling water flow path 172 can be easily routed, which can contribute to an improvement in assembly workability.

  As is clear from the above description and FIGS. 6 and 9, the cooling water flow path 172 for the EGR cooler 147 is configured as a separate system from the cooling water system (path to the water cooling jacket) to the diesel engine 70 itself. Therefore, the cooling water having a high temperature after contributing to the cooling of the diesel engine 70 (the temperature has increased) is not supplied to the EGR cooler 147. Therefore, the malfunction accompanying the temperature rise of cooling water can be prevented, and the cooling performance of the EGR cooler 147 can be improved. In addition, in plan view, the oil cooler 163 is disposed on the intake manifold 73 side with the engine output shaft 74 of the diesel engine 70 interposed therebetween, and the EGR cooler 147 is disposed on the exhaust manifold 71 side. The cooling water distribution system for the oil cooler and the cooling water distribution system for the oil cooler 163 are distributed to both the front and rear sides with the engine output shaft 74 interposed therebetween. For this reason, arrangement | positioning of each cooling water distribution system is easy to understand, and assembly workability | operativity and maintainability can be improved.

  As is apparent from the above description and FIGS. 6 and 9, the DPF 1 for purifying exhaust gas from the diesel engine 70 is disposed in front (side) of the diesel engine 70, and the EGR cooler 147 is disposed in the exhaust manifold. 71, the mounting position of the DPF 1 does not interfere with the EGR device 91 related members (recirculation exhaust gas pipe 148, EGR cooler 147, etc.), and the diesel engine 70 (cylinder head) 72), the collector 145, the EGR cooler 147, and the like can be arranged, and the recirculated exhaust gas pipe 148 can be handled in a compact manner. Therefore, it is possible to further improve the assembly workability and maintainability.
