  By the way, for example, a front window provided in a cab (operator's cab) of a hydraulic excavator is required to be as large as possible in order to ensure a wide field of view for the operator. Impact occurs when closed. In particular, in the case of a guide rail configured such that the roller guide groove of the upper guide rail portion and the roller guide groove of the front guide rail portion described above are not continuous, the lower roller is the lower end portion of the front guide rail portion when the front window is closed. Since the upper roller reaches the front end of the upper guide rail at the same time as it reaches, impact will be applied to the upper and lower parts of the front window, but if the impact when closing the front window is large, stepping stones etc. There is a concern that the window glass may be damaged starting from the scratches generated in step 1. There is a problem to be solved by the present invention.

The present invention was created in view of the above-described circumstances to solve these problems. The invention of claim 1 is a closed position for closing the window opening on the front of the cab and the cab. In a working vehicle provided with a front window that can be opened and closed at an open position that is housed in the ceiling and opens the window opening, a pair of left and right guide rails that guide the opening and closing of the front window are provided on the cab ceiling surface. An upper guide rail portion having a roller guide groove which is arranged so as to extend in the front-rear direction and movably guides the upper roller attached to the upper portion of the front window, and extends in the vertical direction along the front surface of the cab disposed in the front as well as configuration and a front guide rail section having a roller guide groove for guiding freely movably a lower roller mounted at the bottom of the window, closed roller guide groove of the upper guide rail section Position side In part, the groove bottom surface lower surface of the upper roller abuts, from the closed position side edge portion extending linearly from the closed position side end portion in the longitudinal direction of the open position side as the closed position side allowed bent upward high A portion extending in a straight line at a stage where the lower roller is at a position higher than the closed position side end before reaching the closed position side end of the front guide rail portion. The guide rail structure of the front window , wherein the upper roller that has moved is configured to move the upper surface of the groove of the deceleration slope portion upwardly toward the closed position to reduce the closing speed of the front window. It is.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, the lower surface of the groove of the deceleration inclined portion is formed in an arc shape centering on the lower roller when the upper roller is positioned at the open position side end of the deceleration inclined portion. This is a guide rail structure for a front window.
According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect, the upper guide rail portion includes an extension portion that extends linearly toward the front surface of the cab at the closed position side end portion closer to the closed position side than the deceleration inclined portion. This is a guide rail structure of a front window characterized by the above.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, before the lower roller reaches the closed position side end, the upper roller moves upward toward the closed position side by the upper roller so that the closing speed of the front window is increased. As a result, the impact on the upper and lower parts of the front window can be reduced when the front window is closed, and the window glass starts from scratches caused by stepping stones due to the impact at the time of closing. It is possible to avoid a problem such as damage. In addition, when the front window is opened, the upper roller moves downward toward the open position with the deceleration inclined portion, so that the deceleration inclined portion becomes a resistance to the operation of opening the front window. It can be avoided reliably.
By setting it as invention of Claim 2, the operating force when an upper roller raises and moves the deceleration inclination part can be lightened.
According to the third aspect of the present invention, the upper roller is guided toward the front surface of the cab by the extension portion at the closed position side end portion, thereby preventing the intrusion of rainwater in which the front window is attached to the peripheral portion of the window opening. Therefore, the sealing performance between the front window and the sealing member at the peripheral edge of the window opening can be reliably ensured. Further, the upper roller is guided toward the front surface of the cab by the extension at the closed position side end portion, so that the front window is also pressed against the lower window arranged on the lower side of the front window, As a result, the seal member between the front window and the lower window can be compressed without any deviation, and the sealing performance between the front window and the lower window can be ensured reliably.
