  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a work machine such as a demolition machine that performs a building demolition work is used with an ultralong attachment attached to a base machine. Such an ultra-long attachment is used for building demolition and the like, and is a very long part. Therefore, it may be difficult to transport the attachment if the attachment is integrated. In addition, it may be preferable from the viewpoint of work that the attachment can be partially recombined according to the purpose of the work, the work height, or the like.

  Then, like the dismantling machine of patent document 1, the dismantling machine provided with the division | segmentation type boom which is a boom of an attachment and can be divided | segmented about the longitudinal direction is proposed.

  In a conventional split boom, two or more boom bodies are arranged in a straight line, and the boom bodies are pin-coupled to each other. Specifically, one of the two adjacent boom bodies has a pair of side walls that protrude from the main body toward the other boom body and can hold the other boom body from the side. And the other boom body includes a plurality of bosses that are pin-coupled together with the side walls. Boom bodies can be connected by inserting the other boom body between a pair of side walls provided on one boom body and inserting pins into a plurality of bosses through through holes formed in the side walls. Is possible.

  Since the side walls are easily subjected to a load such as a bending load applied to the attachment during work in a state where the boom bodies are connected to each other, a wide range of the side walls is made of thick steel plates in order to ensure the strength and rigidity of the side walls. ing.

  However, in order to ensure the strength and rigidity of the side wall, a wide range of the side wall is made of a thick steel plate, so it is difficult to reduce the weight of the side wall. Moreover, since the number of boom bodies connected to each other increases as the attachment becomes longer, the influence of the increase in the weight of the side wall becomes even greater, and it becomes more difficult to reduce the weight of the boom. Furthermore, since the wide range of the side wall is constituted by the thick steel plate, there is a problem that it is difficult to suppress the manufacturing cost.

  In recent years, a fixed shaft such as a fixing pin is attached to the rear end portion of the other boom body in order to connect the side wall of one boom body to the other boom body in order to speed up the connecting operation between the boom bodies. A structure is proposed in which a notch that can be engaged with the fixed shaft is formed on the side wall and the labor of inserting and removing the pin is reduced by engaging the fixed pin with the notch. Has been.

  However, in such a structure, the portion where the notch is formed in the side wall is more likely to deform due to the inner wall of the notch being opened and deformed more easily than the case where the pin hole is formed, and local stress concentration is likely to occur. There is a problem that the side wall is easily damaged. Therefore, in order to improve the rigidity of the side wall having a notch, it is necessary to configure a wide range of the side wall with a thick steel plate, and there is a problem that it is difficult to reduce the weight and suppress the manufacturing cost.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and provides a boom for a working machine that can reduce the weight of a side wall of a split boom and can reduce labor in assembly work. .
