[0012] Returning to FIGS. 1 and 2, the traveling devices 2 are arranged on both lateral sides of the machine body 5. That is, the work machine 1 includes a pair of traveling devices 2, 2. In the present embodiment, a crawler-type traveling device is adopted for each of the pair of traveling devices 2, 2. The traveling device 2 includes a traveling motor 20 as a drive source (see FIG. 1). In the present embodiment, the traveling motor 20 is a hydraulic motor that receives the supply of hydraulic oil from the hydraulic system 6.

[0013] The work machine 1 according to the present embodiment is a backhoe, and as the working device 3, it includes a shovel device (excavation device) 3a and a dozer device 3b.

[0014] As shown in Fig. 1, the excavator device 3a includes a swing bracket 300a swingably connected to the machine body 5 about a vertical axis (connection pin 303a), a boom 301a with a base end swingably connected to the swing bracket 300a about a horizontal axis, an arm 302a with one end swingably connected to the tip of the boom 301a about a horizontal axis, and a working tool 32a (bucket) with the other end swingably connected to the other end of the arm 302a about a horizontal axis.

[0015] The dozer device 3b is connected to the machine body 5 and extends forward from the machine body 5 in the front-rear direction. The dozer device 3b is connected to the machine body 5 (travel base 51) via a horizontally extending shaft and includes a lift arm 31b swingable in the vertical direction about the shaft, and a blade 30b connected to the tip of the lift arm 31b and having a surface facing the travel direction (forward direction) of the travel device 2.

[0016] The excavator device 3a includes a boom cylinder 33a for tilting the boom 301a, an arm cylinder 34a for tilting the arm 302a with respect to the boom 301a, a working tool cylinder 35a for tilting the working tool 32a with respect to the arm 302a, and a swing cylinder 36a (see Fig. 9) for swinging the swing bracket 300a about the connection pin 303a (shaft). The dozer device 3b includes a lift cylinder 32b for swinging the lift arm 31b. These cylinders 33a, 34a, 35a, 36a, 32b are driven by hydraulic oil supplied from the hydraulic system 6.

[0017] As shown in Fig. 4, the prime mover 4 is arranged on the swing base 52 behind the driver's cab DR (driver's seat 50). In this embodiment, a diesel engine is adopted as the prime mover 4, but it is not limited thereto, and for example, a gasoline engine, an LPG engine, a hydrogen engine, etc. may be used. Further, the prime mover 4 is not limited to an internal combustion engine and may be an electric motor.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 5, the machine body 5 includes a traveling base 51 connected to a pair of left and right traveling devices 2, 2, a slewing base 52 disposed above the traveling base 51, an annular slewing bearing 53 interposed between the traveling base 51 and the slewing base 52, and a driver protection device 54 disposed on the slewing base 52 and defining a driver's cab (riding space) DR.

[0019] Prior to the description of the slewing base 52, the slewing bearing 53 will be described. The slewing bearing 53 has an inner ring 530 and an outer ring 531 that is concentric with and rotatable relative to the inner ring 530. A plurality of engaging teeth (annular gears) that can mesh with a pinion attached to the output shaft of the slewing motor 532 are provided side by side in the circumferential direction on the inner circumference of the inner ring 530 or the outer circumference of the outer ring 531.

[0020] Either the inner ring 530 or the outer ring 531 is connected to the traveling base 51, and the other of the inner ring 530 or the outer ring 531 is connected to the slewing base 52. Thereby, the slewing bearing 53 relatively rotates the inner ring 530 and the outer ring 531 with an axis extending in the vertical direction as the slewing center CL by driving the slewing motor 532, and slews (rotates) the slewing base 52 relative to the traveling device 2 (traveling base 51).

[0021] In the present embodiment, the inner ring 530 is connected to the traveling base 51, and the outer ring 531 is connected to the slewing base 52 (base plate 55) (see FIGS. 6 to 8). Also, in the present embodiment, a plurality of engaging teeth (annular gears) are provided on the inner circumference of the inner ring 530. Thereby, in the present embodiment, the slewing base 52 connected to the outer ring 531 rotates (slews) by driving the slewing motor 532. Note that, in the present embodiment, the slewing motor 532 is a hydraulic motor that receives the supply of hydraulic oil from the hydraulic system 6, similar to the traveling motor 20.

[0022] A plurality of screw holes S1, S2 into which a male screw member Bv for fixing (see FIG. 7) is screwed are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction on the inner ring 530 and the outer ring 531. Specifically, a plurality of screw holes S1... for screwing a male screw member for connecting the slewing bearing 53 to the traveling base 51 are formed at intervals in the circumferential direction on the downward-facing surface of the inner ring 530. On the other hand, a plurality of screw holes S2 for screwing the male screw member Bv for connecting the slewing bearing 53 to the slewing base 52 are formed at intervals in the circumferential direction on the upward-facing surface of the outer ring 531.

[0023] In the following description, there may be mention of parts that have been machined (plane-machined), but it is assumed that these machining operations are performed after machining operations that are affected by heat, such as welding (machining that causes distortion due to heat), in order to ensure machining accuracy.

[0024] The slewing base 52 has a base plate 55 that supports the operator's seat protection device 54 and the prime mover 4, and a device support (support bracket) 56 that is attached to the base plate 55 and supports the work device 3 (3a).

[0025] The base plate 55 is a metal plate and has a placement surface on its lower surface that is placed on the slewing bearing 53 (outer ring 531). The placement surface is formed in a flat plane, and as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, a plurality of through holes H2... for inserting a plurality of male screw members Bv for fixing to the slewing bearing 53 (outer ring 531) are vertically formed. These plurality of through holes H2... coincide with the arrangement of a plurality of screw holes S2... (see FIG. 5) provided in the slewing bearing 53 (outer ring 531).

[0026] Specifically, in the base plate 55, the plurality of through holes H2 are arranged on a virtual circle that is concentric or substantially concentric with the rotation center (slewing center CL) of the slewing bearing 53 within an annular region CA that projects vertically and overlaps with the slewing bearing 53 (outer ring 531 in this embodiment), and are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the virtual circle.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 6, the center (centroid) of the base plate 55 in plan view is offset rearward in the front-rear direction with respect to the turning center CL (the rotation center by the slewing bearing 53).

[0028] The base plate 55 is provided with holes for inserting the output shaft of the slewing motor 532, openings for arranging a swivel joint (not shown) for connecting the hydraulic system on the traveling device 2 side and the hydraulic system on the machine body 5 side, and the like.

[0029] Among the entire area A of the base plate 55 according to the present embodiment (the entire area A viewed from above), the area on the front side in the front-rear direction and on one side in the lateral direction is set as an area (hereinafter referred to as the first arrangement area) A1 for arranging the driver's seat protection device 54, the area on the rear side in the front-rear direction is set as an area (hereinafter referred to as the second arrangement area) A2 for arranging the prime mover 4, and the area on the front side in the front-rear direction and on the other side in the lateral direction is set as an area (hereinafter referred to as the third arrangement area) A3 for arranging the fuel tank 40 for storing the fuel of the internal combustion engine (prime mover) 4, the hydraulic oil tank 61 for storing the hydraulic oil of the hydraulic system 6, and the like.

[0030] The device support 56 is arranged so as to projectively avoid the male screw member Bv at least within the annular region CA in the vertical direction. The device support 56 is connected to the base plate 55 by welding.

[0031] As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the device support 56 is arranged on the upper surface side of the base plate 55, and includes a main body portion 560 arranged at the front end portion of the base plate 55 in the front-rear direction, a pair of leg portions 561, 561 extending rearward from the main body portion 560 in the front-rear direction, and a device connecting portion 562 to which the working device 3 is connected and a device connecting portion 562 extending forward from the main body portion 560 in the front-rear direction.

[0032] In the region between the legs 561 on the upper surface of the main body portion 560, an installation surface 564 for installing a support member (second support member) 71 that supports the frame 59 of the driver's seat protection device 54 is provided. The installation surface 564 is a plane facing upward, and flatness is ensured by machining.

[0033] Thread holes S3 for screwing in male screw members B, which are screw members for fixing the support member 71, are drilled downward in the installation surface 564. In the present embodiment, a pair of thread holes S3, S3 are drilled in the installation surface 564 at intervals in the lateral direction. Between the pair of thread holes S3, S3 in the installation surface 564, the rear edge in the front-rear direction is recessed toward the front side in the front-rear direction. More specifically, the central portion between the pair of thread holes S3, S3 in the installation surface 564 is partially recessed from the rear side to the front side in the front-rear direction (see FIGS. 6 and 7). Note that the support member 71 will be described in detail in the description of the driver's seat protection device 54 that defines the driver's cab DR.

[0034] The pair of legs 561, 561 are arranged at intervals in the lateral direction. In the present embodiment, the pair of legs 561, 561 are arranged such that the distance between them in the lateral direction increases as they go toward the rear side in the front-rear direction. The pair of legs 561, 561 are arranged so as to avoid a plurality of through holes (through holes through which male screw members Bv for fixing the swivel bearing 53 are inserted) H2 provided in the base plate 55.

[0035] The lower ends of the main body portion 560 and the pair of legs 561, 561 are welded to the base plate 55. Thereby, in the swivel base 52 according to the present embodiment, the base plate 55 and the device support 56 are integrated. Although not shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 and the like for the sake of explanation, as shown in FIG. 11, a pair of vertical ribs 565, 565 extending rearward in the front-rear direction are erected from each of the pair of legs 561, 561 on the upper surface of the base plate 55. Each of the pair of vertical ribs 565, 565 is a plate material standing on the upper surface of the base plate 55, and enhances the bending strength of the base plate 55.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 7, the device connecting portion 562 includes a pair of extending portions 563, 563 that each extend forward from the main body portion 560 and are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. Through holes H3 for inserting a connecting pin 303a for connecting the working device 3 are vertically formed through the tip portions of the pair of extending portions 563, 563. The through holes H3 of the pair of extending portions 563, 563 are concentric, and the connecting pin 303a can be inserted concentrically into each of them.

[0037] In the device support 56, the main body portion 560, the pair of leg portions 561, 561, and the device connecting portion 562 are integrally formed. The device support 56 of the present embodiment is a casting (cast product). That is, the device support 56 is made of cast iron. Note that the device support 56 is not limited to being a casting, and may be, for example, manufactured by combining a plurality of metal members (appropriately welding them) or a sheet metal product formed by processing a plate material.

[0038] As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, the lower part of the driver's cab DR and the driver's seat 50 are arranged on the front side of the prime mover 4 in the front-rear direction.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 4, the driver's cab DR is defined by a step 57 that constitutes a floor (floor plate) and on which the driver's seat 50 (seat) is installed, and a driver's seat protection device 54 that covers the driver's seat 50 on the step 57.

[0040] The step 57 is a component equipped on the working machine 1. In the present embodiment, the step 57 is a metal plate and is arranged above the slewing base 52. That is, the step 57 is arranged at an interval in the vertical direction with respect to the slewing base 52. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the working machine 1 is equipped with, as components, in addition to the step 57, a fuel tank 40, a hydraulic oil tank 61, and the like. The fuel tank 40 and the hydraulic oil tank 61 are arranged at an interval in the vertical direction with respect to the slewing base 52.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 10, the work machine 1 includes support members 70, 71, 72, 73, 74 that support equipment components such as the step 57, the fuel tank 40, and the hydraulic oil tank 61 at intervals with respect to the slewing base 52 (base plate 55). Specifically, the work machine 1 includes a first support member 70 fixed to the slewing base 52 by welding, a second support member 71 that is detachable from the device support 56, and a third support member 72 that is detachably attached to the base plate 55.

[0042] Further, the work machine 1 includes a fourth support member 73 and a fifth support member 74 that are detachably attached to the base plate 55 as support members for supporting the fuel tank 40 and the hydraulic oil tank 61. Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the work machine 1 includes rear end support members 715, 715 that partially support a support frame 10 described later.

[0043] The first support member 70 extends in the vertical direction, and one end (lower end) is welded to the base plate 55 of the slewing base 52. The first support member 70 is a leg welded to the base plate 55 and has a leg standing on the upper surface of the base plate 55. In the present embodiment, the first support member 70 is arranged at a plurality of locations (three locations) on the base plate 55 so as to support three of the four corner portions (four corners) of the step 57 having a rectangular shape in plan view, namely, the left front corner portion, the left rear corner portion, and the right rear corner portion. In the present embodiment, the first support member 70 that supports the left front corner portion of the step 57 has a single leg, but the legs of the two first support members 70 that support the left rear corner portion and the right rear corner portion of the step 57 are formed in a plate shape extending in the lateral direction and are common legs.

[0044] The first support member 70 forms an installation surface 700 for disposing the step 57 above the leg. That is, each of the plurality of first support members 70 has the installation surface 700 for disposing the step 57 at the other end (upper end). A screw hole S4 for screwing a male screw member in the vertical direction is provided in the installation surface 700 of each first support member 70. Among the plurality of first support members 70, the first support member 70 that supports the left front corner portion of the step 57 has a screw hole S5 for fixing the driver's seat protection device 54 vertically drilled in addition to the above-described screw hole S4. This screw hole S5 is provided corresponding to the arrangement of the through hole H12 of the front fixing portion 592 described later. On the other hand, the two first support members 70 that support the left rear corner portion and the right rear corner portion of the step 57 are provided with screw holes for screwing a screw member for fixing the support frame 10 in addition to the above-described screw hole S4.

[0045] As shown in FIGS. 7 and 12, the second support member 71 has a base portion 710 detachably attached on the installation surface 564 of the device support 56, and a support main body portion 711 connected to the base portion 710. The support main body portion 711 has a protection device support portion 711a capable of supporting the driver's seat protection device 54, and a step support portion 711b for supporting the step 57.

[0046] As described above, the base portion 710 is disposed on the installation surface 564 of the device support 56. The surface facing the lower surface (lower side) of the base portion 710 is a flat surface, and flatness is ensured by machining. In the present embodiment, the base portion 710 protrudes rearward in the front-rear direction from the installation surface 564 of the device support 56 (the edge (boundary) on the rear side of the installation surface 564) in a state of being disposed on the installation surface 564 of the device support 56.

[0047] A pair of through holes H4, H4 for inserting a male screw member B for fixing the second support member 71 to the device support 56 are vertically drilled at positions communicating with a pair of screw holes S3, S3 provided in the installation surface 564 of the device support 56.

[0048] The support main body portion 711 has a length in the front-rear direction longer than the length of the base portion 710 in the same direction. One end side of the support main body portion 711 is fixed to the upper surface of the base portion 710 by welding in a state where it is overlapped with the upper surface of the base portion 710, and the other end side of the support main body portion 711 extends (protrudes) to the rear side in the front-rear direction with respect to the base portion 710. The support main body portion 711 is disposed in a region avoiding the through hole H4 on the upper surface of the base portion 710 and is connected to the base portion 710. In the present embodiment, one end side of the support main body portion 711 is fixed between a pair of through holes H4, H4 arranged at intervals in the lateral direction in the base portion 710.

[0049] The support main body portion 711 is formed of a single plate material. A protection device support portion 711a is formed in a substantially square shape in plan view at the front portion of the support main body portion 711, and a step support portion 711b is formed at the rear portion of the support main body portion 711 so as to protrude rearward from the protection device support portion 711a. The protection device support portion 711a overlaps the upper surface of the base portion 710 in a state where the front end portion protrudes slightly forward from the front end portion of the base portion 710. The protection device support portion 711a is fixed to the base portion 710 while avoiding a pair of through holes H4, H4 (between the pair of through holes H4, H4). In the present embodiment, the base portion 710 disposed on the installation surface 564 of the device support 56 protrudes rearward in the front-rear direction from the installation surface 564 of the device support 56, and the protection device support portion 711a protrudes rearward in the front-rear direction from the base portion 710.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 8, the protection device support portion 711a projects and overlaps (overlaps in plan view) the annular region CA in the vertical direction with a space from the base plate 55 in a state where the base portion 710 is fixed on the installation surface 564 of the device support 56. That is, the portion of the protection device support portion 711a protruding rearward from the installation surface 564 faces the lower base plate 55 and projects and overlaps in the vertical direction with the region (annular region CA) where the male screw member Bv for fixing the base plate 55 to the swing bearing 53 exists.

[0051] Accordingly, in the present embodiment, the protection device support portion 711a overlaps the entire width of the annular region CA (an endless annular belt-shaped region). For this reason, when the second support member 71 is non-detachable, it becomes difficult to operate the male screw member Bv located below the protection device support portion 711a using tools such as a wrench. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, by removing the male screw member B, the second support member 71 can be removed, so that tools can access the male screw member Bv from above, and appropriate operations can be performed. Thereby, the workability of operations such as attaching and detaching the base plate 55 to and from the swivel bearing 53 and the torque management work of the male screw member Bv can be improved.

[0052] Also, in the present embodiment, since the protection device support portion 711a can be detachably attached to the installation surface 564 of the device support body 56, even when the swivel bearing 53 (outer ring 531) is disposed in the vicinity of the device support body 56, the degree of freedom in the installation position of the protection device support portion 711a can be improved. Thereby, the comfort of the driver can be improved by increasing the size of the driver's seat protection device 54 without interfering with the working device 3. For example, even when having a guard member 58 in front of the front window 541 as shown in FIG. 1, interference between the working device 3 and the guard member 58 can be prevented, and the driver's seat protection device 54 can be installed at a position where the size of the driver's seat protection device 54 can be maximized.

[0053] On the portion of the protection device support portion 711a that protrudes rearward from the installation surface 564 of the device support body 56, there is provided a male screw member (screw member) 82 for fixing the driver's seat protection device 54 (frame 59) is provided with a screw hole S6 for screwing in the vertical direction (see FIG. 18). The protection device support portion 711a of the present embodiment is provided with a screw hole S6 for screwing the male screw member 82 on the rearward protruding portion from the rearward edge of the installation surface 564 of the device support body 56 in the front-rear direction, which is a portion that is partially recessed from the rear to the front between the pair of screw holes S3, S3 (see FIG. 18).

[0054] The step support portion 711b protrudes rearward in the front-rear direction from the protection device support portion 711a. As shown in FIG. 12, the upper surface of the step support portion 711b is an installation surface 712 for installing the step 57. In the present embodiment, the upper surface of the protection device support portion 711a and the upper surface of the step support portion 711b are continuous common planes, and the entire upper surface of the support main body portion 711 (the upper surface of the protection device support portion 711a and the step support portion 711b) constitutes the installation surface 712 of the step 57. The upper surfaces of the protection device support portion 711a and the step support portion 711b (installation surface 712) are ensured to have flatness by machining.

[0055] As shown in FIG. 13, screw holes S7 for screwing a male screw member B1 for fixing the step 57 are formed vertically in the step support portion 711b (installation surface 712). In the present embodiment, for fixing the step 57 to the step support portion 711b, a cylindrical collar 571 is externally fitted to the male screw member B1, and then the male screw member B1 and the collar 571 are inserted into the through hole of the step 57. Accordingly, a countersink concentric or substantially concentric with the screw hole S7 is provided on the upper surface of the step support portion 711b, and the collar 571 is received at the bottom surface of the countersink. Thereby, even when a load, vibration, etc. of the working device 3 (excavator device 3a) act on the device support 56, loosening of the male screw member B1 for fixing the step 57 is prevented (suppressed).

[0056] Since the step support portion 711b protrudes rearward from the protection device support portion 711a, as shown in FIG. 8, it vertically and projectively overlaps the base plate 55 beyond the region (annular region CA) where the male screw member Bv for fixing the base plate 55 to the slewing bearing 53 exists.

[0057] As shown in Fig. 12, the male screw member B for fixing the second support member 71 has a head and a screw portion with a smaller diameter than the head. The screw portion is inserted into the through-hole H4 of the base portion 710 and screwed into the screw hole S3 of the installation surface 564. The vertical thickness of the support main body portion 711 is set to be thicker than the vertical length (thickness) of the head of the male screw member B. Thereby, when the step 57 is disposed on the step support portion 711b, it is prevented that the step 57 interferes with the head of the male screw member B (the step 57 floats up).

[0058] As shown in Fig. 14, the third support member (support member) 72 is attached to the base plate 55 via the screw member B2. Specifically, the third support member (support member) 72 includes a base 720 as a fixing portion fixed to the base plate 55 via the screw member B2, and a support column portion (upright portion) 721 extending in the vertical direction and having a lower end connected to the base 720. The upper end of the support column portion 721 directly or indirectly supports the equipment part 57.

[0059] The base 720 is a metal plate, and a through-hole H5 into which the lower portion of the support column portion 721 is inserted is formed at a position displaced (shifted) to one end side rather than the central portion, and a through-hole H7 for inserting the screw member B2 is formed at a position displaced to the other end side rather than the central portion. The lower portion of the support column portion 721 is fitted into the through-hole H5 of the base 720, and the periphery of the support column portion 721 is welded to the base 720 in a state where the lower end portion (protruding portion 722) protrudes below the lower surface of the base 720. In the present embodiment, the bar material constituting the support column portion 721 is a round bar, and the lower portion inserted into the through-hole H5 is formed to have a smaller diameter than the main portion. However, it is not limited thereto, and the protruding portion 722 may have the same diameter as the main portion of the support column portion 721.

[0060] At the location where the third support member 72 is disposed on the base plate 55 of the swivel base 52, a support projection 520 is provided. On the support projection 520 and the base plate 55, a positioning hole H6 for fitting the protruding portion 722 and a screw hole S9 for screwing the screw member B2 are provided so as to communicate in the plate thickness direction. Thereby, the third support member 72 is fixed to the base plate 55 with the screw member B2, and the third support member 72 can be prevented from rotating by the protruding portion 722 inserted into the positioning hole H6, and the third support member 72 can be attached at a lower cost than when using a plurality of screw members. Note that the positioning hole H6 only needs to be able to fit the protruding portion 722, and may be a through hole or a non-through hole (recess).

[0061] The upper end surface of the third support member 72 is an installation surface 723 for installing the step 57, and is formed in a planar shape orthogonal to its own center line. A screw hole S8 for screwing a male screw member B3, which is a screw member for fixing the step 57, is formed vertically in the upper end surface (installation surface 723) of the support column portion 721.

[0062] In the present embodiment, the step 57 and the driver's seat 50 are disposed at positions displaced to one side (left side in the drawing) from the center in the lateral direction of the swivel base 52.

[0063] Note that the surface (lower surface) facing downward of the base 720 is a machined planar surface, and flatness is ensured by this machining. Further, the support projection 520 is a metal plate welded to the upper surface of the base plate 55, and the upper surface is an installation surface 520a having flatness ensured by machining (the surface overlapping the surface to be installed of the base 720). Thereby, the third support member 72 can be accurately attached to the base plate 55 without machining the entire upper surface of the base plate 55. However, the support projection 520 is not essential, and the third support member 72 may be attached to the upper surface of the base plate 55.

[0064] The vertical positions of the installation surfaces 700, 712, and 723 of the first support member 70, the second support member 71, and the third support member 72 in step 57 are located on the same (common) virtual plane. In the space (accommodation space) formed between step 57 and the swivel base 52 (base plate 55), hydraulic hoses, valves, etc. that constitute the hydraulic circuit are arranged. The open portion on the side of the machine body of the accommodation space is covered with a cover 12 which is the exterior of the working machine 1 (see FIGS. 1 and 5). Further, in the working machine 1, a partition wall that divides the first arrangement area A1 and the second arrangement area A2 is erected on the rear side in the front-rear direction of the accommodation space.

The upper surface of the connecting portion 732 is an installation surface 733 on which the fuel tank 40 and the hydraulic oil tank 61 are installed, and is formed in a planar shape substantially parallel to the base plate 55. Thread holes for screwing male screw members for fixing the fuel tank 40 and the hydraulic oil tank 61 are drilled in the vertical direction in the connecting portion 732 (installation surface 733). In the present embodiment, the fourth support member 73 is formed by bending a single metal plate. Each of the pair of fixing portions 730, 730 extends outward in the direction opposite to each other between the standing portions 731 from the lower end portions of the pair of standing portions 731.

[0066] Through holes H8 for inserting male screw members B3, which are screw members for fixing to the base plate 55, are drilled in each of the pair of fixing portions 730, 730. In the present embodiment, a plurality of through holes H8 are provided in the fixing portion 730. In the fixing portion 730, the plurality of through holes H8... are arranged at intervals in the direction along the plate surface of the standing portion 731.

[0067] At the position where the fixing portion 730 in the base plate 55 is attached, a support convex portion 522 with a machined upper surface (ensuring flatness of the upper surface) is provided. Further, at positions corresponding to the through holes H8 of the fixing portion 730 in the support convex portion 522 and the base plate 55, screw holes S10 are provided. Thereby, the male screw member B3 is inserted through the through hole H8 of the fixing portion 730 and screwed into the screw holes S10 of the support convex portion 522 and the base plate 55, and the fourth support member 73 is fixed to the base plate 55.

[0068] As shown in FIG. 16, the fifth support member 74 has the same configuration as the third support member 72. That is, the fifth support member 74 includes a base 740 as a fixing portion attached to the installation surface 521a of the support convex portion 521 provided on the base plate 55, a support column portion 741 standing up from the base 740, and an installation surface 743 formed on the upper surface of the support column portion 741 where the flat support plate 75 is installed. On the installation surface 743, screw holes S12 for screwing the male screw member B5 for fixing the support plate 75 are drilled in the vertical direction.

[0069] The lower part of the support column portion 741 is fitted into the through hole H9 provided in the base 740, and the periphery of the support column portion 741 is welded to the base 740 in a state where the lower end portion (protruding portion 742) protrudes below the lower surface of the base 740. The base 740 is a metal plate, and a through hole H9 into which the lower part of the support column portion 741 is inserted is drilled at a position offset toward one end side from the central portion, and a through hole H11 for inserting the screw member B4 is drilled at a position offset toward the other end side from the central portion.

[0070] A support convex portion 521 is provided at the arrangement position of the fifth support member 74 in the base plate 55 of the swivel base 52. Positioning holes H10 for fitting the protruding portion 742 and screw holes S11 for screwing the screw member B4 are provided in communication with the support convex portion 521 and the base plate 55 in the plate thickness direction. The installation surface 521a of the support convex portion 521 and the lower surface of the base 740 are machined into flat processed surfaces.

[0071] The height positions of the installation surfaces 733 and 743 on which the support plates 75 in the fourth support member 73 and the fifth support member 74 are disposed are located on the same (common) virtual plane.

[0072] In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, a plurality (two) of the fourth support members 73 are provided at intervals in the front-rear direction, and the fifth support member 74 is disposed at an interval on the rear side with respect to the rearmost fourth support member 73 among the plurality (two) of the fourth support members 73. The work machine 1 includes, as the support plate 75, a front support plate 75 straddling a plurality of the fourth support members 73 and a rear support plate 75 straddling the rearmost fourth support member 73 and the fifth support member 74, as shown in FIGS. 10, 11, 15, and 16. The fuel tank 40 is supported on the front support plate 75, and the hydraulic oil tank 61 is supported on the rear support plate 75.

[0073] In the present embodiment, between the swing base 52 (base plate 55) and the support plate 75 or the connecting portion 732, another equipment component (in the present embodiment, the swing cylinder 36a, etc.) disposed on the base plate 55 is disposed (see FIG. 9).

[0074] On the step 57, the driver's seat (seating seat) 50, operating devices, etc. are disposed, and the driver's seat protection device 54 covers the periphery of the driver's seat 50, etc. That is, the driver's seat protection device 54 defines a driver's cab DR in which the driver's seat 50, etc. are disposed together with the step 57 inside.

[0075] Inside the driver's cab DR, the driver's seat 50 is disposed at the rear part on the step 57, and the operating devices are disposed in the vicinity of the driver's seat 50.

[0076] The driver's seat protection device 54 according to this embodiment is a so-called cab, and as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, it has a roof 540 (ceiling) that constitutes the upper part of the driver's cab DR, and wall portions 541, 542, 543, 544 that cover the front, rear, left, and right of the driver's seat 50. That is, the driver's seat protection device 54 has wall portions that partition the inside and outside of the driver's cab DR. The driver's seat protection device (cab) 54 of this embodiment has, as wall portions, a front window 541 arranged on the front surface, a rear window 542 arranged on the rear surface, an entrance / exit door 543 and a side window 544 arranged on one side in the lateral direction, and a side window (not shown) on the other side in the lateral direction. Note that the lower part on the rear surface side of the driver's cab DR is partitioned by a partition wall 9 described later from a prime mover room where the prime mover 4 is arranged.

[0077] As shown in FIG. 17, the driver's seat protection device 54 includes a roof 540 arranged above the driver's seat 50 and a frame 59 that supports the roof 540. That is, the driver's seat protection device 54 has a frame 59 that supports the roof 540 and window frames and protects the inside of the driver's cab DR during a collision or a rollover. The frame 59 is vibration-proof supported via vibration-proof mounts (vibration-proof mechanisms) 8 on a first support member 70 with its left front part attached to the left front part of a base plate 55, on a protection device support portion 711a of a second support member 71 with its right front part, and on a support frame 10 described later with its left rear part and right rear part. Thereby, the entire driver's seat protection device 54 is supported by a swivel base 52.

[0078] The frame 59 according to this embodiment is formed as a framework by assembling a plurality of members. The frame 59 includes columns 590R, 590L, 591R, and 591L that extend in the vertical direction. More specifically, the frame 59 includes four pillars 590R, 590L, 591R, and 591L as columns that extend in the vertical direction at four positions in the front, rear, left, and right directions. That is, the frame 59 is a pair of front pillars 590R and 590L arranged on the front side in the front-rear direction, and a pair of front pillars 590R and 590L arranged at intervals in the lateral direction, and a pair of rear pillars 591R and 591L arranged on the rear side in the front-rear direction, and a pair of rear pillars 591R and 591L arranged at intervals in the lateral direction, and a front fixing portion 592 connected to the lower ends of the pair of front pillars 590R and 590L, which is a front fixing portion 592 for connecting the pair of front pillars 590R and 590L to the swivel base 52, and a rear fixing portion 593 connected to the lower ends of the pair of rear pillars 591R and 591L, which is a rear fixing portion 593 for connecting the pair of rear pillars 591R and 591L to the swivel base 52.

[0079] In this embodiment, the frame 59 has a pair of side frames 594R and 594L that connect the upper ends of the front pillars 590R and 590L and the rear pillars 591R and 591L arranged in the front-rear direction.

[0080] As described above, the front fixing portion 592 is connected to the lower ends of the front pillars 590R and 590L. In this embodiment, the front fixing portion 592 extends in the lateral direction and is overlapped with the front end portion of the upper surface of the step 57. In this embodiment, the front fixing portion 592 is set to a length so as to straddle the pair of front pillars 590R and 590L, and the lower ends of the pair of front pillars 590R and 590L are connected. That is, the lower ends of the pair of front pillars 590R and 590L are connected to a common (identical) front fixing portion 592.

[0081] In the present embodiment, the front fixing portion 592 is formed in a plate shape. As shown in FIG. 18, a through hole H12 through which a male screw member 82 fixed (connected) to the swivel base 52 is inserted is formed in the front fixing portion 592. In the present embodiment, the working machine 1 includes a vibration damping mechanism 8 that suppresses vibration of the frame 59. As shown in FIG. 17, the vibration damping mechanism 8 for the front fixing portion 592 is provided at two locations spaced apart in the lateral direction. Accordingly, the through holes H12 of the front fixing portion 592 are provided at two locations spaced apart in the lateral direction. The through holes H12 of the front fixing portion 592 are provided at two locations spaced apart in the lateral direction.

[0082] Specifically, the front fixing portion 592 is connected to a first support member 70 and a second support member 71 that support the step 57. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 18, the step 57 has a hole-shaped or notch-shaped relief portion 570 provided at a position corresponding to the protection device support portion 711a. That is, the step 57 is provided with a relief portion 570 that penetrates in the vertical direction at a position avoiding the position where it is fixed and at the position where the front fixing portion 592 is fixed. In the present embodiment, the relief portion 570 is formed in a round hole shape. Accordingly, in the present embodiment, the relief portion 570 is referred to as a relief hole. Note that the relief portion 570 is not limited to a round hole shape and may be a notch shape that opens at the edge of the step 57.

[0083] The frame 59 is directly or indirectly supported by the protection device support portion 711a via the relief hole 570. In the present embodiment, the frame 59 (driver's seat protection device 54) is fixed to the swivel base 52 via the vibration damping mechanism 8 disposed in the relief hole 570. Here, the vibration damping mechanism 8 interposed between the front fixing portion 592 and the second support member 71 will be described as an example. The vibration damping mechanism 8 is interposed between the protection device support portion 711a and the frame 59. The vibration damping mechanism 8 according to the present embodiment includes an elastic member 80 for vibration damping disposed between the protection device support portion 711a and the frame 59. The elastic member 80 is disposed in the relief hole 570 of the step 57.

[0084] More specifically, the vibration isolation mechanism 8 is an elastic member 80 interposed between a second support member 71 fixed to the swivel base 52 and the front fixing portion 592, the elastic member 80 having a through hole 800 penetrating in the vertical direction, a cylindrical collar 81 inserted into the through hole 800 of the elastic member 80, and a male screw member 82 inserted through the collar 81, the male screw member 82 penetrating the through hole H12 of the front fixing portion 592 in the vertical direction in a state of being prevented from coming off with respect to the second support member 71, and a female screw member 83 screwed onto the male screw member 82 and applying a compressive force to the elastic member 80 between the installation surface 712 of the second support member 71 and the front fixing portion 592.

[0085] In the vibration isolation mechanism 8 shown in FIG. 18, the through hole H12 of the front fixing portion 592 has a larger diameter than the outer diameter of the collar 81, and is formed so that the collar 81 can be loosely inserted. Accordingly, the elastic member 80 has a large diameter portion 80a set to have a larger diameter than the through hole H12 of the front fixing portion 592, the large diameter portion 80a being disposed between the front fixing portion 592 and the support member (second support member) 71, and a small diameter portion 80b protruding from the upper surface of the large diameter portion 80a, the small diameter portion 80b being disposed concentrically with the large diameter portion 80a and being insertable into the through hole H12 of the front fixing portion 592. The through hole 800 of the elastic member 80 penetrates through the center (center) of the large diameter portion 80a and the center (center) of the small diameter portion 80b. In the present embodiment, the small diameter portion 80b penetrates the through hole H12 of the front fixing portion 592 and protrudes from the upper surface of the front fixing portion 592.

[0086] In the present embodiment, the male screw member 82 is a so-called stud bolt (slotted bolt) having a thread groove over the entire length. Accordingly, one end portion of the male screw member 82 is screwed into the screw hole S6 of the second support member 71. Thereby, the male screw member 82 positions the other end portion side upward and stands upright vertically or substantially vertically with respect to the upper surface (installation surface 712) of the support main body portion 711. In the present embodiment, the other end portion of the male screw member 82 penetrates below the second support member 71. A lock nut 85 is screwed onto the other end portion of the male screw member 82.

[0087] On the premise that the vibration isolation mechanism 8 according to this embodiment has the above configuration, a pressing member 84 is provided for transmitting the axial force generated in the male screw member 82 due to the screwing of the female screw member 83 with respect to the male screw member 82 to the elastic member 80. The pressing member 84 is a member disposed on the upper surface side of the front fixing portion 592 and has a through hole 840a into which the male screw member 82 is inserted.

[0088] Specifically, the pressing member 84 is a rigid metal plate portion 840, and includes a plate portion 840 having a donut shape in plan view with a through hole through which the male screw member 82 is inserted formed therein. Thereby, when the female screw member 83 is screwed onto the male screw member 82 inserted into the through hole of the plate portion 840, the female screw member 83 pushes the plate portion 840 downward (toward the front fixing portion 592) side, and applies a compressive force to the elastic member 80.

[0089] In this embodiment, the pressing member 84 includes a pressing elastic member 841 disposed on the lower surface side of the plate portion 840. The pressing elastic member 841 is formed in a donut shape in plan view having a through hole for inserting the male screw member 82, similar to the plate portion 840. Further, the pressing member 84 includes a cylindrical positioning collar 842 protruding downward from the lower surface of the plate portion 840.

[0090] In this embodiment, the through hole 840a of the pressing member 84 is formed by connecting the through hole of the plate portion 840 and the inner hole of the positioning collar 842. The positioning collar 842 has the same or substantially the same inner diameter and outer diameter as the above-described collar 81, and the inner diameter is set to be larger than the diameter of the through hole of the plate portion 840. Accordingly, the pressing elastic member 841 is in a state of being overlapped on the lower surface of the plate portion 840, and the positioning collar 842 is inserted into the through hole. The thickness (length in the vertical direction) of the pressing elastic member 841 is set to be thicker (longer) than the length of the positioning collar 842 in the same direction.

[0091] The pressing member 84 is such that when the female screw member 83 is tightened, the plate portion 840 is pushed downward, and presses the front fixing portion 592 and the elastic member 80 downward via the pressing elastic member 841. At this time, the elastic deformation (elastic force) of the pressing elastic member 841 also acts. The pressing member 84 according to the present embodiment is in a state where the plate portion 840 has moved downward by a predetermined distance (a state where a predetermined pressing force acts on the front fixing portion 592 and the elastic member 80) due to the tightening of the female screw member 83, and the positioning collar 842 collides (interferes) with the collar 81, and the downward movement is restricted. Thereby, since the pressing member 84 is prevented from being pushed downward beyond the specified value, torque management becomes easy.

[0092] In the present embodiment, the front fixing portion 592 is fixed to the swing base 52 at two locations spaced apart in the lateral direction, and the vibration isolation mechanism 8 having the above configuration is disposed at each fixing position (support position). Also, the rear fixing portion 593 is also fixed to the swing base 52 at two locations spaced apart in the lateral direction, and the vibration isolation mechanism 8 having the above configuration is disposed at each fixing position (support position). In the above description, it was described on the premise that the front fixing portion 592 is connected to the second support member 71, so the object of fixing (connection) was the second support member 71, but the same applies when the front fixing portion 592 is connected to the first support member 70.

[0093] Regarding the rear fixing portion 593, as shown in FIG. 17, it is disposed at a position higher than the front fixing portion 592. For this reason, the rear fixing portion 593 is a support frame 10 fixed to the upper surface of the base plate 55, and is connected to the support frame 10 that supports the rear fixing portion 593 at a predetermined height. Therefore, by replacing the support member (second support member) 71 in the description of the vibration isolation mechanism 8 above with the first support member 70 or the support frame 10, the description of the fixing (connection) of the front fixing portion 592 to the first support member 70 and the fixing (connection) of the rear fixing portion 593 to the support frame 10 is obtained.

[0094] Returning to FIG. 4, the driver's seat 50 is arranged at the rearmost position in the driver's cab DR (space) within the driver's seat protection device 54 as described above. That is, the driver's seat 50 is arranged in front of the rear fixing portion 593 of the frame 59. Specifically, the driver's seat 50 includes a seat portion having a seat surface on which an operator sits, and a backrest against which the operator sitting on the seat portion (seat surface) leans, and in a plan view, the seat surface is located within a region behind the center in the front-rear direction of the step 57, and is fixed to the step 57. The seat surface and the backrest of the driver's seat 50 are slidable in the front-rear direction, and the backrest is tiltable (reclinable). Accordingly, the backrest of the driver's seat 50 is located on the rear side of the rear end in the front-rear direction of the step 57, but is maintained at a position in front of the rear fixing portion 593. The seat surface and the backrest of the driver's seat 50 are slidable in the front-rear direction, and the backrest is tiltable (reclinable). Accordingly, the backrest of the driver's seat 50 is located on the rear side of the rear end in the front-rear direction of the step 57, but is maintained at a position in front of the rear fixing portion 593.

[0095] The guard member 58 is a metal protection member for protecting the driver's seat protection device 54 (particularly, the front window 541) from the operation of the working device 3 and flying objects scattered by the work of the working device 3. Accordingly, the guard member 58 is arranged in front of the front window 541 so as to overlap the entire surface of the front window 541. Accordingly, the guard member 58 is configured to enable visual recognition of the front situation from the driver's seat 50 (driver's cab DR). That is, the guard member 58 is configured in a lattice shape or a fence shape. In the present embodiment, the guard member 58 is configured in a fence shape.

[0096] The prime mover 4 is located behind the step 57 and on the rear side (diagonally downward and rearward of the seat surface) of the driver's seat 50.

[0097] The working machine 1 includes a partition wall 9 that partitions the driver's cab DR (the region where the driver's seat 50 is arranged) and the region where the prime mover 4 is arranged (prime mover room). The partition wall 9 is attached to the front portion of a support frame 10 that supports equipment and the like arranged at the rear portion of the driver's seat protection device 54 and the rear portion of the machine body 5 as shown in FIGS. 11 and 17.

[0098] As shown in FIG. 19, the support frame 10 includes a pair of support legs 100 and 110 that are arranged at intervals in the lateral direction, and a leg connecting portion 120 that connects the support legs 100 and 110.

[0099] Each of the pair of support legs 100 and 110 includes a front leg portion 101 and 111 arranged on the front side, a rear leg portion 102 and 112 arranged on the rear side of the front leg portions 101 and 111, and beam portions 103 and 113 that extend in the front-rear direction and connect the front leg portions 101 and 111 and the rear leg portions 102 and 112.

[0100] The lower ends of the front leg portions 101 and 111 are attached to first support members 70 and 70 whose lower ends are erected on the base plate 55, and include first inclined portions 101a and 111a that are slightly inclined rearward as they go upward, and second inclined portions 101b and 111b that are connected to the upper ends of the first inclined portions 101a and 111a and are inclined rearward at a larger inclination angle than the first inclined portions 101a and 111a as they go upward. The lower end portions of the front leg portions 101 and 111 are connected and supported by two first support members 70 that support the left rear corner portion and the right rear corner portion of the step 57.

[0101] The lower ends of the rear leg portions 102 and 112 are connected to rear end support members 715 and 715 whose lower ends are erected at the rear end of the base plate 55, and extend in the vertical direction (substantially perpendicular to the swivel base 52 (base plate 55)). The lower end portions of the rear leg portions 102 and 112 are connected and supported by rear end support members 715 and 715 whose lower ends are erected at the rear end of the base plate 55.

[0102] The front ends of the beam portions 103 and 113 are connected to the upper ends of the second inclined portions 101b and 111b, extend substantially horizontally rearward, and the rear ends are connected to the upper ends of the rear leg portions 102 and 112.

[0103] The vertical heights of each of the pair of support legs 100 and 110 are set to be substantially the same as the heights of the beam portions 103 and 113 of each other.

[0104] The leg connecting portion 120 has one end connected to the beam portion 103 of one support leg 100, extends horizontally, and the other end is connected to the beam portion 113 of the other support leg 110.

[0105] The rear fixing portion 593 of the frame 59 is connected to the leg connecting portion 120 of the support frame 10 via the vibration isolation mechanism 8. As described above, the connection mode between the rear fixing portion 593 and the leg connecting portion 120 which is the connection target for the rear fixing portion 593 is the same as the connection mode between the front fixing portion 592 and the second support member 71. That is, in the vibration isolation mechanism 8 for the rear fixing portion 593, the male screw member (stud bolt) 82 has the other end side positioned upward, and is screwed into the leg connecting portion 120 so as to stand vertically or substantially vertically with respect to the upper surface (installation surface) of the leg connecting portion 120.

Note that a sealing material may also be interposed between the opposing portions of the second closing plate 94b and the second metal plate 91.

[0120] As the sound-absorbing material 97 of the closing body 94, for example, foamed urethane foam or the like can be used. The sound-absorbing material 97 is sandwiched between the first closing plate 94a and the second closing plate 94b and is set to a thickness that closely adheres (preferably, is pressure-bonded) to each of the first closing plate 94a and the second closing plate 94b.

[0121] The sound-absorbing material 97 of the closing body 94 is formed in a shape that substantially matches the planar shape of the second closing plate 94b and can be fitted from the first opening 93a toward the second metal plate 91 side. The sound-absorbing material 92 (the sound-absorbing material 92 between the first metal plate 90 and the second metal plate 91) of the partition wall 9 is provided with an opening having a shape corresponding to the sound-absorbing material 97 of the closing body 94. By fitting the sound-absorbing material 97 of the closing body 94 into this opening, the sound-absorbing materials 92 and 97 are arranged over substantially the entire area within the plane of the partition wall 9.

[0122] The working machine 1 according to the present embodiment is as described above, and the present invention (a preferred embodiment thereof) provides the working machine 1 described in the following items.

[0123] (Item 1-1) The working machine 1 includes a prime mover 4, a driver's seat 50 arranged at an interval from the prime mover 4, and a partition wall 9 arranged between the prime mover 4 and the driver's seat 50. The partition wall 9 includes a pair of metal plates 90, 91 arranged to face each other with a gap in the direction from the prime mover 4 toward the driver's seat 50.

[0124] According to the working machine 1 of Item 1-1, since the partition wall 9 is arranged between the driver's seat 50 and the prime mover 4, among the driving sounds (operating sounds) during the operation of the prime mover 4, the driving sounds propagated to the driver's seat 50 side are absorbed by the partition wall 9. Specifically, since the partition wall 9 includes a pair of metal plates 90, 91 arranged with a gap in the direction from the prime mover 4 toward the driver's seat 50 (the direction in which the prime mover 4 and the driver's seat 50 are spaced apart), the driving sound of the prime mover 4 collides with the metal plate 91 on the prime mover 4 side and is attenuated, and then is propagated to the driver's seat 50 side. However, since the pair of metal plates 90, 91 are arranged with a gap, the driving sound of the prime mover 4 propagated to the driver's seat 50 side is further attenuated between the pair of metal plates 90, 91 and collides with the metal plate 90 on the driver's seat 50 side and is attenuated. Thereby, the driving sound (operating sound) of the prime mover 4 is absorbed step by step by the partition wall 9. Therefore, according to the working machine 1 of Item 1-1, the quietness of the driver's seat 50 can be further enhanced.

[0125] In particular, since the pair of metal plates 90, 91 included in the partition wall 9 are made of metal and have a large mass (surface density), the sound transmission loss is large and the sound absorption effect is excellent, so the quietness on the driver's seat 50 side becomes higher. Note that since the metal plates 90, 91 have a large sound transmission loss, a high sound absorption effect can be obtained even if they are thin, but a higher sound absorption effect can be obtained if the thickness (weight) increases. Also, since the partition wall 9 is a double wall, the heat transfer to the driver's seat 50 side can be efficiently suppressed.

[0126] (Item 1-2) The working machine 1 according to Item 1-1, wherein the partition wall 9 includes a sound absorbing material 92 arranged between the pair of metal plates 90, 91.

[0127] According to the working machine 1 of item 1-2, the sound-absorbing material 92 effectively absorbs the sound of the prime mover 4 between the pair of metal plates 90 and 91. That is, since the sound-absorbing material 92 is excellent in specializing in sound absorption (absorbing sound), the sound transmitted to the metal plate 90 on the driver's seat 50 side is transmitted in a greatly attenuated state. Therefore, the metal plate 90 on the driver's seat 50 side further attenuates the sound attenuated by the sound-absorbing material 92, so that the sound transmitted to the driver's seat 50 disappears or becomes extremely small, and the quietness at the driver's seat 50 is further enhanced.

[0128] (Item 1-3) The working machine 1 according to item 1-2, wherein the sound-absorbing material 92 is in close contact with the pair of metal plates 90 and 91.

[0129] According to the working machine 1 of item 1-3, since the sound-absorbing material 92 is in close contact with the pair of metal plates 90 and 91, the driving sound of the prime mover 4 is continuously and multi-stagedly absorbed. Thereby, the absorption rate of the sound propagated to the driver's seat 50 side can be increased.

[0130] (Item 1-4) The working machine 1 according to item 1-2, wherein the sound-absorbing material 92 is a foamed resin.

[0131] According to the working machine 1 of item 1-4, since the sound-absorbing material 92 is a foamed resin, the partition wall 9 has an excellent sound-absorbing effect. That is, since the foamed resin has a large number of air bubbles (voids), it has an excellent sound attenuation effect. Thereby, by arranging the sound-absorbing material 92 made of foamed resin between the pair of metal plates 90 and 91, the static quietness at the driver's seat 50 is enhanced.

[0132] (Item 1-5) The pair of metal plates 90 and 91 includes a first metal plate 90 on the driver's seat 50 side and a second metal plate 91 on the prime mover 4 side. The partition wall 9 is provided with an inspection port 93 accessible from the driver's seat 50 side to the prime mover 4 side and a closing member 94 capable of closing the inspection port 93. The first metal plate 90 has a first opening 93a that constitutes the inspection port 93, and the second metal plate 91 has a second opening 93b that constitutes the inspection port 93. The closing member 94 includes a metal first closing plate 94a that closes the first opening 93a in a state of overlapping the surface on the driver's seat 50 side of the peripheral edge of the first opening 93a in the first metal plate 90, and a metal second closing plate 94b that closes the second opening 93b in a state of overlapping the surface on the driver's seat 50 side of the peripheral edge of the second opening 93b in the second metal plate 91. The working machine 1 according to item 1-1 described above.

[0133] According to the working machine 1 of item 1-5, by removing the closing member 94, the inspection port 93 is opened, so that it is possible to access the prime mover 4 and the like through the inspection port 93 from the driver's seat 50 side, and inspection and maintenance are possible. Further, the closing member 94 that closes the inspection port 93 includes a metal first closing plate 94a that closes the first opening 93a that constitutes the inspection port 93 in a state of overlapping the first metal plate 90 on the driver's seat 50 side, and a metal second closing plate 94b that closes the second opening 93b that constitutes the inspection port 93 in a state of overlapping the second metal plate 91 on the prime mover 4 side. Therefore, even if the inspection port 93 is provided, the first closing plate 94a and the second closing plate 94b absorb the driving sound (operating sound) of the prime mover 4 in the same manner as the pair of metal plates 90 and 91 included in the partition wall 9.

[0134] (Item 1-6) The first opening 93a is formed in a shape that allows the second closing plate 94b to pass from the driver's seat 50 side to the second metal plate 91 side. The working machine 1 according to item 1-5 described above.

[0135] According to the working machine 1 of items 1-6, since the first opening 93a is formed in a shape that allows the second closing plate 94b to pass from the driver's seat 50 side to the second metal plate 91 side, when opening and closing the inspection port 93, both the first closing plate 94a and the second closing plate 94b can be detached from the driver's seat 50 side.

[0137] According to the working machine 1 of items 1-7, since each of the first closing plate 94a and the second closing plate 94b is screwed to the metal plates 90 and 91, the first closing plate 94a and the second closing plate 94b can be attached and detached only by screwing on and off. That is, the opening and closing of the inspection port 93 is easy.

[0138] (Item 1-8) The working machine 1 according to item 1-5, wherein a sealing member 95 is interposed in at least one of the overlapping portions where the first closing plate 94a overlaps the first metal plate 90 and the overlapping portion where the second closing plate 94b overlaps the second metal plate 91.

[0139] According to the working machine 1 of items 1-8, even in a manner such that a gap is formed in the overlapping portion where the first closing plate 94a overlaps the first metal plate 90 and the overlapping portion where the second closing plate 94b overlaps the second metal plate 91, the sealing member 95 fills the gap, so that the sound not absorbed in the previous stage is prevented from leaking out through the gap. In addition, dynamic interference (rattle occurs) between the first closing plate 94a and one of the metal plates 90 or between the second closing plate 94b and the other metal plate 91 due to vibration is suppressed.

[0140] (Item 1-9) The partition wall includes a spacing maintaining member 96 that maintains the spacing between the pair of metal plates 90 and 91 between the pair of metal plates 90 and 91. The working machine 1 according to any one of Items 1-1 to 1-8.

[0141] According to the working machine 1 of Item 1-9, since the spacing between the pair of metal plates 90 and 91 is kept constant due to the presence of the spacing maintaining member 96, it is maintained at a spacing suitable for absorbing the driving sound (operating sound) of the prime mover 4.

[0142] (Item 1-10) On the second metal plate 91, a support portion 910 capable of mounting and supporting the second closing plate 94b is protruded toward the first metal plate 90. The working machine 1 according to Item 1-4.

[0143] According to the working machine 1 of Item 1-9, when attaching and detaching the second closing plate 94b, it can be placed (supported) on the support portion 910, and it is possible to prevent the second closing plate 94b from accidentally falling. That is, since the second closing plate 94b is made of heavy metal, when attaching and detaching it to and from the second metal plate 91, there is a possibility of dropping it between the pair of metal plates 90 and 91. However, by placing (supporting) it on the support portion 910, the second closing plate 94b can be attached and detached without accidentally dropping it.

[0144] (Item 2-1) The working machine 1 includes a machine body 5, a traveling device 2 that supports the machine body 5 so as to be capable of traveling, and a working device 3 (3a) attached to the machine body 5. The machine body 5 includes a base plate 55 supported by the traveling device 2, the base plate 55 being capable of turning about an axis extending in the vertical direction as a turning center CL, a device support 56 attached to the base plate 55 for supporting the working device 3 (3a), a driver's seat 50 disposed on the base plate 55, and a driver's seat protection device 54 for protecting the driver's seat 50. A support member 71 for supporting the driver's seat protection device 54 is detachably attached to the device support 56.

[0145] According to the working machine 1 of item 2-1, since the support member 71 that supports the driver's seat protection device 54 is detachable from the device support 56 of the swivel base 52, the support member 71 can be removed from the device support 56. As a result, when working on the base plate 55 (swivel base 52), if the support member 71 gets in the way of the work, by removing the support member 71, assembly and maintenance performed on the base plate 55 can be carried out efficiently. Therefore, the working machine 1 of item 2-1 can mount the driver's seat protection device without degrading the assemblability and maintainability of the members arranged on the swivel base.

The support member 71 includes a base portion 710 attached to the device support 56 at a position offset from a position that projects and overlaps the male screw member Bv in the vertical direction, and a support main body portion 711 connected to the base portion 710 and at least a part of which is arranged at a position that projects and overlaps the male screw member Bv in the vertical direction. A protection device support portion 711a for supporting the driver's seat protection device 54 is provided on the support main body portion 711.

[0147] According to the working machine 1 of item 2-2, the support main body portion 711 provided with the protection device support portion 711a for supporting the driver's seat protection device 54 is arranged at a position that projects and overlaps the male screw member Bv for fixing the swivel bearing 53 in the vertical direction. However, when performing inspections and maintenance related to the attachment of the base plate 55 to the swivel bearing 53 and the fixing (connection) between the swivel bearing 53 and the base plate 55, if the support member 71 (support main body portion 711) gets in the way, by removing the base portion 710 from the device support 56, the entire support member 71 will be removed, facilitating access to the base plate 55 and the male screw member Bv.

[0148] In particular, since the base portion 710 of the support member 71 is attached to the device support 56 at a position deviated from the position that projectively overlaps the male screw member Bv in the vertical direction, when the support member 71 (base portion 710) is removed from the device support 56, it becomes possible to access the male screw member Bv from directly above. That is, since there is no device support 56 or the like directly above the male screw member Bv, a tool (for example, wrenches such as a box wrench) can be accessed from directly above the male screw member Bv. As a result, the tool can be properly attached to the male screw member Bv and the tool can be properly operated, so that torque management of the male screw member Bv that fixes the swivel bearing 53 can be appropriately performed.
