SUMMARY OF INVENTION

Technical Problem

However, the number of controllers has been increased because of advancement in functions of a work vehicle (for example, information-oriented construction, surrounding monitoring function, and the like) in recent years. Therefore, there is a problem that attaching and arranging of controllers will be difficult in view of securing a space.
The present invention was made to solve the problem described above, and its object is to provide a cab and a work machine to facilitate attaching and arranging controllers even when the number of controllers is increased.

Solution to Problem

A cab of the present invention comprises a floor portion, a base, a driver's seat, a back panel, and a controller main body. The base is arranged on the floor portion. The driver's seat is arranged on the base. The back panel is arranged behind the driver's seat. The base has a bracket extending toward the back panel. The controller main body is arranged between the base and the back panel and fixed to the bracket. In a plan view, at least a part of the controller main body is located between the base and the floor portion so as to overlap with the base, and a fixing part fixing the controller main body to the bracket is arranged between a rear end of the base and the back panel.
According to the cab of the present invention, at least a part of the controller main body is arranged so as to overlap with the base in a plan view. Therefore, the main body can be arranged on a front side of the cab, and a large space can be secured between the controller main body and the back panel. Accordingly, a cable can be readily arranged in the space.
Moreover, the fixing part fixing the controller main body to the bracket is arranged at a position between a rear end of the base and the back panel so as not to overlap with the base. Therefore, the controller main body can be fixed to the bracket from above.
According to the configuration described above, the controller main body can be arranged in the space between the driver's seat and the back panel, and an operation of attaching the controller main body can be readily performed even in a narrow space between the driver's seat and the back panel.
In the cab described above, a cover is further provided which covers an upper part of a portion of the controller main body located between a rear end of the base and the back panel in a plan view.
Accordingly, adhesion of water or dust to the controller main body can be suppressed by the cover, so that the controller main body can be protected.
In the cab described above, the cover constitutes at least a part of a duct connecting a first ventilating hole provided at the base and a second ventilating hole provided at the back panel.
Accordingly, a protective member for the controller main body and the duct connecting the first ventilating hole and the second ventilating hole can be formed with an integrated cover. Moreover, by attaching the cover, the protective member protecting the controller main body and the duct can be made at the same time, so that assembling can be readily performed.
In the cab described above, the controller main body has a connector, and the connector is arranged at a face of the controller main body on a side of the back panel.
According to the cab described above, a large space can be secured between the controller main body and the back panel. Therefore, even when a connector is provided at the face of the controller main body on the side of the back panel, a cable can be readily connected to the connector.
In the cab described above, the base has a vertical plate extending from a side of the driver's seat to a side of the floor portion. The bracket has a vertical plate part extending along the vertical plate and attached to the vertical plate, and a horizontal plate part extending from an upper end of the vertical plate part toward the back panel.
By attaching the controller main body on the horizontal plate part, the controller main body can be arranged at a height apart from the floor portion. Accordingly, since a height of the controller main body can be secured, the controller main body is prevented from being soaked in water when the floor portion is washed with water. Moreover, when the controller main body is fixed to the bracket, the controller main body can be held in the state of being placed on the horizontal plate part. Therefore, an operation of fixing the controller main body to the bracket can be readily performed.
In the cab described above, a cable is further provided which is connected to the controller main body and transmits a video signal acquired from a camera. The cable penetrates through the floor portion and extends from inside to outside of the cab.
Accordingly, a signal of an image captured outside of the cab can be processed by the controller main body arranged inside of the cab.
A work machine of the present invention has any one of the cabs described above.
According to the work machine of the present invention, attaching and arranging of the controller can be readily performed even when the number of controllers is increased.

Advantageous Effects of Invention

As described above, according to the present invention, a cab and a work machine can be achieved which facilitates attaching and arranging of a controller even when the number of controllers is increased.

Next, a state of attaching controller main body 1, cover 5, and the like in one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7.
FIG. 5 is a plan view representing a part of the configuration in which the controller main body of FIG. 4 is assembled, viewed from the direction of an arrow A of FIG. 4 (in a direction perpendicular to the floor face). FIG. 6 is a perspective view representing a part of the configuration in which the controller main body of FIG. 4 is assembled. FIG. 7 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along the line of FIG. 6.
As shown in FIG. 5, in the state where controller main body 1 is attached to base 4, at least a part of controller main body 1 (a hatched region RA in FIG. 5) overlaps with base 4 in a plan view. The portion of controller main body 1 overlapping with base 4 is located in the region sandwiched between top face part 4 a of base 4 and floor portion 13.
In a plan view, a portion of controller main body 1 not overlapping with base 4 (the portion of controller main body 1 other than hatched region RA) is located between rear end 4 aa of base 4 and back panel 12.
In a plan view, bolts (fixing part) 9 for fixing assembly 3 (controller main body 1) to second bracket 4 d are arranged at positions not overlapping with base 4, and located between rear end 4 aa of base 4 and back panel 12.
A terminal 7 a of a cable 8 a and a terminal 7 h of a cable 8 b are connected respectively to two connectors 1 c (FIGS. 3 and 4) arranged at a face of controller main body 1 on the side of back panel 12.
In a plan view, cover 5 covers an upper part of a portion of controller main body 1 located between rear end 4 aa of base 4 and back panel 12 (a portion of controller main body 1 not overlapping with base 4). In a plan view, this cover 5 covers an upper part of terminal 7 a of cable 8 a and terminal 7 b of cable 8 b, and also covers an upper part of a portion of each cable 8 a and cable 8 b.
As shown in FIG. 6, cover 5 constitutes at least a part of the duct connecting through hole (first ventilating hole) 4 f provided at base 4 and a ventilating hole (second ventilating hole) 12 a provided at back panel 12. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a top face part of the duct connecting through hole (first ventilating hole) 4 f and ventilating hole (second ventilating hole) 12 a is constituted of duct top face part 5 b of cover 5. One side face part of the duct is constituted of duct side face part 5 c. The other side face part of the duct is constituted of partition member 6.

Ventilating hole 12 a provided at back panel 12 is a portion for allowing air transferred from air conditioning unit 14 (FIG. 2) to be sent out.
As shown in FIG. 7, cable 8 a connected to controller main body 1 penetrates through floor portion 13 and extends from inside to outside of cab 10. This cable 8 a is a cable for transmitting a video signal acquired from a camera, for example.
As shown in FIG. 8, for example, two cameras 31, 32 are arranged on a right side part of hydraulic excavator 20, and one camera 33 is arranged on a left side part, and one camera 34 is attached to counter weight 27 on a rear side. Signals of images captured by these cameras 31 to 34 can be sent to controller main body 1 through cable 8 a. In controller main body 1, video signals of these cameras 31 to 34 are processed, so that an around-view of work machine 20 can be displayed on a monitor in cab 10.
Moreover, as shown in FIG. 5, by allowing cable 8 a to penetrate through floor portion 13 in a region RB between base 4 and back panel 12 in a plan view, a distance of extending cable 8 a to controller main body 1 in cab 10 can be shortened.
Next, effects of the present embodiment will be described.
According to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, at least a part of controller main body 1 (hatched region RA) is arranged so as to overlap with base 4 in a plan view. Therefore, as compared to the case where controller main body 1 does not overlap with base 4, controller main body 1 can be arranged more on a front side of cab 10. Accordingly, a large space can be secured between controller main body 1 and back panel 12, so that cables 8 a, 8 b and cable terminals 7 a, 7 b can be readily arranged in the space.
Moreover, bolts 9 fixing controller main body 1 to second bracket 4 d are provided at positions between rear end 4 aa of base 4 and back panel 12 and not overlapping with base 4. Therefore, bolts 9 can be readily fastened from above, so that controller main body 1 can be readily fixed to second bracket 4 d.
According to the configuration described above, controller main body 1 can be arranged in the space between driver's seat 11 and back panel 12, and an operation of attaching controller main body 1 in the narrow space between driver's seat 11 and back panel 12 can also be readily performed.
Moreover, as shown in FIG. 5, an upper part of the portion of controller main body 1 located between rear end 4 aa of base 4 and back panel 12 in a plan view (the portion of controller main body 1 not overlapping with base 4) is covered with cover 5. Accordingly, cover 5 can suppress adhesion of water or dust on controller main body 1, so that controller main body 1 can be protected.
Moreover, as shown in FIG. 6, cover 5 constitutes at least a part of the duct connecting through hole 4 f provided at base 4 and ventilating hole 12 a provided at back panel 12. Accordingly, the protective member of controller main body 1 and the duct connecting through hole 4 f and ventilating hole 12 a can be formed with integrated cover 5. Moreover, by attaching cover 5, the protective member protecting controller main body 1 and the duct can be attached at the same time, so that assembling can be readily performed.
Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3, controller main body 1 has connectors 1 c, and connectors 1 c are arranged a face of controller main body 1 on the side of back panel 12. According to cab 10 described above, a large space can be secured between controller main body 1 and back panel 12. Therefore, even when connectors 1 c are provided at a face of the controller main body on the side of back panel 12, cables 8 a, 8 b (FIGS. 5 to 7) can be connected to connectors 1 c.
Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3, base 4 includes vertical plate 4 e. Second bracket 4 d has vertical plate part 4 db extending along vertical plate 4 e and attached to vertical plate 4 e, and horizontal plate part 4 da extending from an upper end of vertical plate part 4 db toward back panel 12. By attaching controller main body 1 on this horizontal plate part 4 da, controller main body 1 can be arranged at a height apart from floor portion 13. Accordingly, since a height of controller main body 1 can be secured, controller main body 11 is prevented from being soaked in water when floor portion 13 is washed with water. Moreover, when controller main body 1 is fixed to second bracket 4 c 1, controller main body 1 can be held in the state of being placed on horizontal plate part 4 da. Therefore, an operation of fixing controller main body 1 to second bracket 4 d can be readily performed.
Moreover, as shown in FIG. 7, cable 8 a connected to controller main body 1 and transmitting video signals acquired from cameras 31 to 34 (FIG. 8) penetrates through floor portion 13 and extends from inside to outside of cab 10. Accordingly, signals of images captured outside of cab 10 can be processed by controller main body 1 arranged inside of cab 10.
In the embodiment described above, the case is described in which the fixing parts for fixing assembly 3 having controller main body 1 to second bracket 4 d are bolts and nuts. However, the fixing parts are not limited to those. The fixing parts may be the one configured to fix by means of other members or methods such as pins and welding.
It should be understood that the embodiment disclosed herein is illustrative and non-restrictive in every respect. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of claims, rather than the description of the embodiments set forth above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
