本発明の一実施形態に係るブルドーザ1の左側面図を図1に示す。本発明の一実施形態に係るブルドーザの一部を示す平面図を図2に示す。図2では、後述するエンジンカバー13が取り外された状態のエンジン室8を示している。なお、以下の説明において、前後方向とは、ブルドーザ1の前後方向を意味する。言い換えれば、前後方向とは、キャブ(運転室)12に着座したオペレータから見た前後方向を意味する。また、左右方向とは、キャブ(運転室)12に着座したオペレータから見た左右方向を意味する。側方とは、ブルドーザ1の車幅方向、すなわち、前述の左方向もしくは右方向のいずれかを意味する。
図3は、エンジンカバー13内のエンジン室8の内部構成を示す左側面図である。図4は、エンジンカバー13内のエンジン室8の内部構成を示す右側面図である。図4での右側が、車両の前側を示す。図5は、エンジンカバー13内のエンジン室8の内部構成を示す正面図である。なお、理解の容易のため、図3及び図4では、車体フレーム10及びエンジンカバー13が二点鎖線で図示されている。図5では、後述するマウントブラケット50周辺における車体フレーム10の上端とエンジンカバー13とが二点鎖線で図示されており、エンジン5の概略的な外形が点線で図示されている。また、図2~図5において、エンジン室8内の構成の一部を適宜省略している。図2~図4に示すように、車両本体3は、エンジン5と、フライホイールハウジング6と、油圧ポンプ7とを含む。エンジン5は、エンジンカバー13内に配置されている。
車両本体3は、第1排気処理装置41、第2排気処理装置42、中継接続管43、第1接続管45、及び、第2接続管46を含む。なお、第1排気処理装置41、第2排気処理装置42、及び中継接続管43を総称して、排気処理アセンブリ40と呼ぶ。第1接続管45は、エンジン5と第1排気処理装置41とを接続する。より詳細には、第1接続管45は、前述した過給器28と第1排気処理装置41とを接続する。第2接続管46は、第2排気処理装置42に接続し、第2排気処理装置42に処理されたエンジン5からの排気を排出する。第2接続管46は、図1に示される排気管47に接続されている。排気管47は、エンジンカバー13から上方に突出するように配置されている。
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。
本実施形態に係るブルドーザ1は、以下の特徴を有する。
(1)ブルドーザ1は、第1排気処理装置41、中継接続管43、及び、第2排気処理装置42が、エンジン5の前方に配置され、第1排気処理装置41及び第2排気処理装置42の長手方向は、車幅方向に沿っている。また、車両側面視において、第1排気処理装置41の前端F1は、第2排気処理装置42の前端F2より前方に位置する。このため、エンジンカバー13が前方且つ下方に向かって傾斜する上面13aを有していても、第1排気処理装置41、中継接続管43、及び、第2排気処理装置42をエンジン室13に収納することによって、当該上面13aを大幅に上昇しなくてもよい。その結果、作業者が視認できる作業機4のブレード15の上部の領域が広がり、作業性の低下を抑えることができる。
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。
