以下、図1~図17を参照しつつ、第1の発明の実施形態に係る移動式クレーンの下部走行体及びこれを備えた移動式クレーンについて説明する。なお、図面において、「前」、「後」、「右」、「左」、「上」及び「下」の文字が記載されているが、これらは、下部走行体が前進後退する方向を基準とするものである。すなわち、下部走行体の前後方向は、後述するクローラフレームが延びる水平な方向であり、下部走行体の左右方向は、前記前後方向に直交する水平な方向である。下部走行体の上下方向は、上部旋回体の旋回中心軸に平行な方向である。
図1に示すように、本実施形態に係る移動式クレーン100は、下部走行体101と、上部旋回体102と、を備える。下部走行体101は、上部旋回体102を旋回可能に下から支持するとともに、地上を走行することができるように構成されている。
図2は、第1実施形態に係る下部走行体101を示す斜視図であり、図3は、その平面図である。本実施形態では、図1及び図3に示すように、下部走行体101の前後方向は、後述するクローラフレーム2R,2Lの長手方向であり、前記前後方向のうちの前方は、各クローラフレームのホイール24R(ドライブタンブラ)からホイール23R(アイドラ)に向かう方向であり、後方は、その反対方向である。ただし、下部走行体101の前後方向は、図2及び図3に規定される方向とは反対方向として規定されていてもよい。なお、図2では、ホイール23R,24Rの図示は省略されている。
図4は、第1実施形態に係る下部走行体101のカーボディ10及び前アクスル11を示す斜視図であり、図5は、カーボディ10及び後アクスル12を示す斜視図である。
図2~図5に示すように、カーボディ10は、略直方体形状を有する。カーボディ10は、上部旋回体102から受ける荷重を前アクスル11に伝達するための少なくとも一つの荷重伝達面と、上部旋回体102から受ける荷重を後アクスル12に伝達するための少なくとも一つの荷重伝達面と、を含む複数の荷重伝達面を有する。
前アクスル11は、カーボディ10のうち旋回中心軸Cよりも前側に位置する部分に接続される前側中間部11Mと、この前側中間部11Mから右斜め前に延びて右クローラフレーム2Rに接続される右前部11Rと、前側中間部11Mから左斜め前に延びて左クローラフレーム2Lに接続される左前部11Lと、を含む。この前アクスル11は、前側中間部11Mの前面61が右前部11Rの前面62及び左前部11Lの前面63よりも後側に位置するような形状を有する。
後アクスル12は、上述した前アクスル11と向きが異なる以外はほぼ同様の構造を有する。具体的には次の通りである。
次に、本実施形態に係る下部走行体101の着脱構造について説明する。
図13は、第2実施形態に係る下部走行体101を示す斜視図であり、図14は、その平面図であり、図15は、その正面図である。
この第2実施形態では、前記前側荷重受面は、旋回中心軸Cよりも右側に位置する右前荷重受面4Rと、旋回中心軸Cよりも左側に位置する左前荷重受面4Lと、を含み、前記後側荷重受面は、旋回中心軸Cよりも右側に位置する右後荷重受面5Rと、旋回中心軸Cよりも左側に位置する左後荷重受面5Lと、を含む。
第2実施形態に係る下部走行体101は、右連結部材14及び左連結部材15のそれぞれがカーボディ10、右クローラフレーム2R及び左クローラフレーム2Lに対して着脱可能な構造を備える。従って、下部走行体101を構成する部品のそれぞれの幅を小さくすることが可能であり、これにより、移動式クレーン100が比較的大型であっても輸送時の部品の幅を輸送制限幅の範囲内に抑えることができる。具体的には以下の通りである。
第1実施形態では、連結部は、前アクスル11と後アクスル12とを含み、第2実施形態では、連結部は、右連結部材14と左連結部材15とを含むが、これらの形態に限られない。本発明における連結部は、少なくとも一つの連結部材を含んでいればよいので、単一の連結部材により構成されていてもよい。
前記実施形態では、右前直線LAは、平面視において、右前端ローラ261の回転中心軸上であって右前端ローラ261の幅方向(左右方向)の中央の位置と、旋回中心軸Cとを通る直線であり、右後直線LB、左前直線LC及び左後直線LDについても同様に規定されているが、このような態様に限られない。前記右前直線LAは、例えば、平面視において、旋回中心軸Cと、右前端ローラ261のうち予め選択された何れかの部位と、を通る直線であってもよい。前記何れかの部位は、例えば、平面視において、右前端ローラ261における最も後で且つ最も右の部位を挙げることができる。同様に、前記右後直線LBは、平面視において、旋回中心軸Cと、右後端ローラ262のうち予め選択された何れかの部位と、を通る直線であってもよく、前記左前直線LCは、例えば、平面視において、旋回中心軸Cと、左前端ローラ261のうち予め選択された何れかの部位と、を通る直線であってもよく、前記左後直線LDは、平面視において、旋回中心軸Cと、左後端ローラ262のうち予め選択された何れかの部位と、を通る直線であってもよい。
図1に示す前記実施形態に係るクレーンは、ジブ及びストラットを備えていないが、クレーンの仕様は、図1に示すものに限定されない。本開示に係るクレーンは、ジブ、フロントストラット及びリヤストラットを備えるラッフィングクレーンであってもよく、ジブ及び1つのストラットを備える固定ジブ仕様のクレーンであってもよい。また、本開示に係るクレーンは、ガントリではなくマストを備えるクレーン(例えば大型のクレーン)であってもよい。

図3に示す第1実施形態では、カーボディ10の左右にそれぞれ2つのトランスリフタTLが取り付けられているが、例えば、前アクスル11にも複数のトランスリフタ(例えば2つのトランスリフタ)が例えば左右に間隔をおいて取り付けられていてもよく、後アクスル12にも複数のトランスリフタ(例えば2つのトランスリフタ)が例えば左右に間隔をおいて取り付けられていてもよい。これにより、前アクスル11及び後アクスル12をカーボディ10に接続する作業の作業性、及び前アクスル11及び後アクスル12をカーボディ10から取り外す作業の作業性がさらに向上する。図14に示す第2実施形態においても同様である。具体的には、図14に示すカーボディ10の前部及び後部のそれぞれにおいて2つのトランスリフタが左右方向に間隔をおいて取り付けられていてもよい。さらに、図14に示す右連結部材14において複数のトランスリフタ(例えば2つのトランスリフタ)が前後方向に間隔をおいて取り付けられていてもよく、図14に示す左連結部材15において複数のトランスリフタ(例えば2つのトランスリフタ)が前後方向に間隔をおいて取り付けられていてもよい。これにより、右連結部材14及び左連結部材15をカーボディ10に接続する作業の作業性、及び右連結部材14及び左連結部材15をカーボディ10から取り外す作業の作業性がさらに向上する。
以下、図18~図30を参照しつつ、第2の発明の実施形態に係る移動式クレーンの下部走行体及びこれを備えた移動式クレーンについて説明する。なお、図面において、「前」、「後」、「右」、「左」、「上」及び「下」の文字が記載されているが、これらは、下部走行体が前進後退する方向を基準とするものである。すなわち、下部走行体の前後方向は、後述するクローラフレームが延びる水平な方向であり、下部走行体の左右方向は、前記前後方向に直交する水平な方向である。下部走行体の上下方向は、上部旋回体の旋回中心軸に平行な方向である。
