The same applies to the lower portion 27 b, and the left mounting portion 28 has an upper portion 28 a and a lower portion 28 b, similar to the right mounting portion 27. One pin is inserted through each of the

upper portions

27a and 28a and the

lower portions

27b and 28b.

Here, the right mounting portion 27 and the left mounting portion 28 are connected by a connecting portion 30 and integrated with each other. In the example shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the connecting portions 30 are provided at a total of three locations between the upper and lower ends of the right mounting portion 27 and the left mounting portion 28, and between the substantially central portions. Thus, the right and left

attachment parts

27 and 28 can be formed with high accuracy by providing the connecting part 30 and connecting the right attachment part 27 and the left attachment part 28 together. Specifically, the bracket 24 in which the left and

right attachment portions

27 and 28 are integrated is fixed to the earth discharging plate 9 by welding in advance, and then processing for forming the pin holes 25 and 26 is performed. Thereby, the mutual position accuracy increases without the center positions of the pin holes 25 and 26 in the left and

right attachment portions

In this example, the connecting portion 30 is a plate that connects the seat plate 40 made of a single plate to which the right mounting portion 27 and the left mounting portion 28 are fixed together, and the lower end of the right mounting portion 27 and the lower end of the left mounting portion 28. It is formed from the connection member 41 of a shape. The seat plate 40 is formed so as to follow the shapes of the right mounting portion 27 and the left mounting portion 28 with holes and notches. The right mounting portion 27 and the left mounting portion 28 are fixed to the seat plate 40 in a state where the end surface on the earth discharging plate 9 side is in contact with the seat plate 40. The seat plate 40 and the connecting member 41 are larger in thickness than the two plate members forming the

upper portions

27a and 28a and the

lower portions

27b and 28b, and the seat plate 40 includes the right mounting portion 27 and the left mounting portion 28. An attachment allowance 32 is formed, which is larger than the outer shape of FIG. By providing this attachment allowance 32, in addition to the improvement of the welding workability of the connection part 30 mentioned above, the welding workability of both the

attachment parts

27 and 28 is also improved. As a result, when the bracket 31 is fixed to the earth discharge plate 9 by welding, the welding work is facilitated. Other configurations, operations, and effects are the same as those in the examples of FIGS.

FIG. 8 shows another example of the bracket 33. The bracket 33 does not use the mounting allowance 32 described above for welding fixing, but forms a plurality of bolt holes in the mounting allowance 32 and fastens the bracket 33 to the earth discharging plate 9 with bolts 34. (In FIG. 8, the bolt 34 is inserted into the bolt hole provided in the mounting allowance 32). When this bracket 33 is used, pin holes are machined into the right mounting portion 27 and the left mounting portion 28 that are integrated in advance at the connecting portion 30, and the bracket 33 is mounted to the lifting unit 10. Then, the bolts 34 are inserted into the bolt holes 36 of the mounting plate 35 attached in advance to the earth discharging plate 9 and fixed to each other. Note that the bolt hole 36 may be provided directly in the earth discharging plate 9.

In this manner, by providing a plurality of bolt holes in the mounting allowance 32, it is possible to replace only the soil discharge plate 9 in a state where the lifting unit 10 and the bracket 33 are connected, and various soil discharges are possible depending on the use of the construction machine. The board can be exchanged. For example, the replacement can be performed with an attachment 37 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the versatility of the construction machine 2 can be improved. Also, replacement and repair work are facilitated.
