Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In a walking type working machine that starts the engine by operating a recoil starter, or in a walking type working machine that operates a choke to adjust the air - fuel ratio so that the engine starts easily when the engine is difficult to start in winter or the like, it takes time and effort to start the engine.

[0005] The present invention provides a walking type working machine that can start the engine simply and easily.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The walking type working machine according to the present invention is An aircraft supported by a running gear, a working device connected to the aircraft, an engine supported at the front of the aircraft and driving the working device, an electric starting motor driving an engine starting operation unit provided in the engine, an electronically controlled fuel injection unit provided in the engine, and an electronic control device associated with the electronically controlled fuel injection unit, wherein the electronically controlled fuel injection unit injects and supplies fuel to the engine by being injection-controlled by the electronic control device, an electronically controlled fuel injection device is provided.

[0007] According to this configuration, when an operation is performed to drive the electric starting motor, the engine starting operation unit is driven by the electric starting motor to perform the starting operation of the engine. The electronic control device performs injection control of the electronically controlled fuel injection unit corresponding to the starting of the engine, and the electronically controlled fuel injection unit can inject and supply fuel to the engine in a supply state adapted to engine starting. Therefore, regardless of seasons such as winter, the engine can be started easily and simply by only performing an operation to drive the electric starting motor.

[0008] Also, since the electronic control device can automatically perform injection control of the electronically controlled fuel injection unit, for example, it is possible to automatically adjust the engine speed according to fluctuations in the engine load due to fluctuations in the working load.

[0009] In the present invention, It is preferable that the electronic control device is covered by an aircraft accessory provided at the front of the aircraft.

[0010] According to this configuration, even when the front part of the aircraft is lowered when the aircraft is turning and running, the electronic control device can be protected by using the aircraft accessory as a cover for the electronic control device so that the electronic control device does not hit the field, such as being covered by the aircraft accessory.

[0011] In the present invention, It is preferable that the aircraft accessory is a balance weight.

[0012] According to this configuration, a balance weight can be utilized for the cover of the electronic control unit to protect the electronic control unit at low cost.

[0013] In the present invention, It is preferable that the balance weight includes a bottom wall-like portion located below the electronic control unit, a front wall-like portion rising from the bottom wall-like portion to the front side of the electronic control unit to cover the electronic control unit from the front, and left and right side wall-like portions rising from the left and right side portions of the bottom wall-like portion to the lateral outside of the electronic control unit to cover the electronic control unit from the lateral outside.

[0014] According to this configuration, since the electronic control unit is covered from below by the bottom wall-like portion, from the front by the front wall-like portion, and from the lateral outside by the left and right side wall-like portions, a balance weight can be utilized for the cover of the electronic control unit to protect the electronic control unit at low cost.

[0015] In the present invention, It is preferable that the balance weight is provided with ventilation holes penetrating the bottom wall-like portion.

[0016] According to this configuration, since air circulates from the inside to the outside or from the inside to the outside of the balance weight through the ventilation holes, the electronic control unit can be cooled by the circulating air to suppress the temperature rise of the electronic control unit.

[0017] Another walking work machine according to the present invention includes a machine body supported by a traveling device, a steering handle extending rearward from the machine body, a working device connected to the machine body, an engine supported at the front portion of the machine body for driving the working device, a cover attached to a stay located above the engine for covering the engine from above, and a fuel injection unit provided in the engine for injecting and supplying fuel to the engine, the fuel injection unit being provided with an electronic governor, and fuel injection being controlled by the electronic governor.

[0018] Since the fuel injection is controlled by an electronic governor and the engine operates, the engine can be started easily and simply regardless of seasons such as winter. When the fuel injection to the engine is controlled by a mechanical governor, a mechanical linkage mechanism is connected so that a control signal is transmitted to the mechanical governor. According to this configuration, since the fuel injection to the engine is controlled by an electronic governor, an electric wire is connected so that a control signal is transmitted to the electronic governor. By connecting an electric wire that requires less space for installation compared to the mechanical linkage mechanism, the position of the stay can be lowered. By being able to lower the position of the stay, the position of the cover can be lowered. By being able to lower the position of the cover, it can be made less likely that the cover becomes an obstacle to seeing through from the rear of the machine body to the front of the machine body, and it can be made easier to see through from the rear of the machine body to the front of the machine body.

[0036] Since the fuel injection supply adapted to the operation amount of the accelerator operating tool 8 is performed, the engine 3 is driven at a rotational speed that accurately responds to the accelerator operation, and the engine can be driven with good response and good fuel efficiency. Since the injection control based on the temperature detection of the engine 3 is performed, the fuel injection supply adapted to the temperature of the engine 3 is automatically performed, and even when the temperature of the engine 3 is low in winter or the like, the engine 3 can start smoothly without taking the trouble of special fuel adjustment.

[0037] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the electronic control fuel injection unit 32 includes a fuel injector 38 and an electronic governor 39 provided in the intake section 3C. The electronic control device 33 is linked to the electronic governor 39.

[0038] The fuel tank 4 is connected to the fuel injector 38 via an oil supply line 40. The fuel pump 34 is provided in the oil supply line 40. A fuel cock 41 is provided in the oil supply line 40. The fuel stored in the fuel tank 4 is supplied to the fuel injector 38 by the fuel pump 34. An air cleaner 6 is connected to the intake section 3C via an intake passage 42.

In the present embodiment, a spring-loaded recoil starter is adopted, but it is possible to adopt a recoil starter that does not have a spring-loading function. The connection of the electric starting motor 44 to the engine starting operation unit 35 is performed by interlocking a rotating member provided in the recoil starter so as to transmit the starting operation force to the crankshaft and the output shaft of the electric starting motor 44 by a gear mechanism.

[0043] By operating the pull handle 35a (see FIG. 5) of the engine starting operation unit (recoil starter) 35, the engine starting operation unit 35 operates, and the engine 3 is started by the engine starting operation unit 35. The engine 3 can also be started by operating the start switch 9 (see FIGS. 2 and 7) without operating the engine starting operation unit 35. That is, when the start switch 9 is operated, the electric starting motor 44 is driven, the engine starting operation unit 35 is driven by the electric starting motor 44, and the engine 3 is started by the engine starting operation unit 35. Thus, when starting the engine 3 by either the manual operation of the engine starting operation unit 35 or the operation of the start switch 9, the electronic control device 33 operates based on the detection information from the start sensor 36 and the detection information from the temperature sensor 37, and the injection control of the electronic control fuel injection unit 32 by the electronic control device 33 is performed. The fuel injection supply to the cylinder unit 3B by the electronic control fuel injection unit 32 is performed in a supply state adapted to the engine start and the engine temperature, and the engine 3 starts smoothly even in winter or the like.

[0044] In the above-described embodiment, the electric starting motor 44 is provided. However, in the case where the electronic control fuel injection device 31 is provided, it is possible to configure the engine 3 to be started only by the recoil starter without providing the electric starting motor 44.
