Definitions
- the present invention relates to a bulldozer that is one of work vehicles.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a bulldozer in which the upper surface of the engine cover is tilted forward (see Patent Document 1). In this bulldozer, the operator can see the upper part of the blade of the work implement, Workability has been improved.
- the exhaust treatment device refers to, for example, a diesel particulate filter (Diesel Particulate Filter: DPF) device, a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) device, a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), and the like.
- DPF diesel particulate filter
- SCR selective catalytic reduction
- DOC diesel oxidation catalyst
- Recent work vehicles are required to be equipped with at least two types of exhaust treatment devices of these exhaust treatment devices or at least two different types of exhaust treatment devices.
- the upper surface of the engine cover In the above-mentioned bulldozer, in order to store at least two exhaust treatment devices in the engine compartment, if these devices are arranged on the upper part of the engine, the upper surface of the engine cover must be raised. When the upper surface of the engine cover is raised, the area of the upper part of the blade of the working machine that can be visually recognized by the operator is reduced, and workability is lowered.
- the width of the engine room will be widened.
- a cylinder for controlling the blade and a crawler belt are arranged on the side of the engine compartment.
- the width of vehicles is regulated in accordance with the road width standard. Therefore, the lateral width of the engine compartment is limited within a predetermined length. Therefore, if the diesel particulate filter device and the selective catalytic reduction device are arranged on the side surface of the engine, it is difficult to limit the lateral width of the engine compartment within a predetermined length.
- the width of the engine room is increased, the area of the side of the blade of the working machine that can be visually recognized by the operator is reduced, and workability is degraded.
- the vertical width of the engine compartment must be greatly extended. Then, the distance between the blade and the center of gravity of the vehicle body is widened, the force transmitted to the blade is dispersed, and it becomes difficult to maintain the blade excavation force.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a bulldozer that suppresses the vertical width and horizontal width of the engine chamber in order to maintain the visibility of the blade side surface and the excavation force of the blade even when at least two exhaust treatment devices are housed in the engine chamber. It is to provide.
- the bulldozer includes a blade, an engine, a first exhaust treatment device, a second exhaust treatment device, a relay connection pipe, an injector assembly, and an engine cover.
- the first exhaust treatment device is disposed in front of the engine and processes exhaust from the engine.
- the second exhaust treatment device is disposed in front of the engine and processes exhaust from the engine.
- the relay connection pipe is disposed in front of the engine and connects the first exhaust treatment device and the second exhaust treatment device.
- the injector assembly includes an injector attached to the relay connection pipe and injecting a reducing agent into the relay connection pipe.
- the engine cover has an upper surface that is inclined forward and downward. The engine cover covers the engine, the first exhaust treatment device, the second exhaust treatment device, the relay connection pipe, and the injector.
- the first exhaust treatment device, the relay connection pipe, and the second exhaust treatment device are arranged side by side so that their longitudinal directions are along the vehicle width direction.
- the attachment surface of the injector in the relay connection pipe is provided at the offset portion of the relay connection pipe at the connection portion between the first exhaust treatment device and the relay connection pipe.
- the distance between the first side of the engine cover closest to the injector assembly and the injector assembly is substantially equal to the distance between the first side and the first exhaust treatment device.
- the distance between the attachment surface in the longitudinal direction of the relay connection pipe and the first side surface is preferably longer than the length of the injector in the longitudinal direction of the relay connection pipe.
- the aforementioned bulldozer may further include a first cylinder and a second cylinder.
- the first cylinder is disposed on the left side of the engine cover and controls the position or posture of the blade.
- the second cylinder is disposed on the right side of the engine cover and controls the position or posture of the blade.
- the distance between the first cylinder and the second cylinder may be longer than the width of the engine cover in the longitudinal direction of the relay connection pipe at the injector position.
- the side of the engine cover closest to the injector may have an overhang corresponding to the position of the injector.
- the overhang part may be formed by a cover separate from the engine cover.
- the movable range of the cylinder closest to the overhanging portion should not overlap with the overhanging portion in the vehicle side view.
- the relay connection pipe may be located above the first exhaust treatment apparatus, and the second exhaust treatment apparatus may be located above the relay connection pipe.
- the side of the engine cover closest to the injector should be flat.
- the first exhaust treatment device, the second exhaust treatment device, and the relay connection pipe are arranged in front of the engine.
- the rise of the upper surface of the engine cover can be suppressed. Therefore, the area of the upper part of the blade of the working machine that can be visually recognized by the worker is widened, and the deterioration of workability is suppressed.
- the first exhaust treatment device, the relay connection pipe, and the second exhaust treatment device are arranged side by side so that their longitudinal directions are along the vehicle width direction.
- the attachment surface of the injector in a relay connection pipe is provided in the offset part of a relay connection pipe in the connection part of a 1st exhaust processing apparatus and a relay connection pipe.
- the distance between the first side surface of the engine cover closest to the injector assembly and the injector assembly is substantially equal to the distance between the first side surface and the first exhaust treatment device. Thereby, the increase in the vertical width and the horizontal width of the engine compartment can be suppressed.

図2~図4に示すように、第1排気処理装置41、中継接続管43、第2排気処理装置42、及び、エアークリーナ33は、エンジン5の前方及び上方を取り囲むように配置される。これによって、第1排気処理装置41、中継接続管43、第2排気処理装置42、及び、エアークリーナ33を、近づけて密に配置することができる。
図3及び図4に示すように、車両本体3は、マウントブラケット50、第1支持ブラケット70、第2支持ブラケット80、後マウントブラケット90、及びダンパー31L,31R,32L,32Rを含む。マウントブラケット50は、エンジンカバー13内に配置されている。マウントブラケット50と後マウントブラケット90とは、ダンパー31L,31R,32L,32Rを介して、エンジン5を車体フレーム10上で支持している。
図6は、車両前方から見たインジェクタ44付近の拡大図である。図6に示すように、インジェクタ44は、第1屈曲部43aのオフセット部431にある取付面432に取り付けされている。図6では、オフセット部431がない中継接続管43の外形(以下、第1外形と呼ぶ)を点線で図示している。また、図6において、後述する側面13d、断熱材13f及び張出部13eについては、それらの断面形状が表示されており、エンジン室8内外の構成の一部が適宜省略されている。取付面432は、第1外形から第2接続口41bの中心軸線Az3に向かってオフセットしたオフセット部431に設けられている。中継接続管43の長手方向Ax3におけるオフセット部431の大きさD1は、中継接続管43の長手方向Ax3におけるインジェクタ44の長さD2より長い。
本実施形態に係るブルドーザ1は、以下の特徴を有する。
以上、本発明の一実施形態について説明したが、本発明は上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々の変更が可能である。
