Further, the dozer device 3b includes a lifting cylinder 32b that swings the lifting 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 disposed 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 swing base 52 disposed above the traveling base 51, an annular swing bearing 53 interposed between the traveling base 51 and the swing base 52, and a driver's seat protection device 54 disposed on the swing base 52 and defining a driver's cab (riding space) DR.

[0019] Prior to the description of the swing base 52, the swing bearing 53 will be described. The swing bear 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 the 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). Further, 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. In the present embodiment, the slewing motor 532 is a hydraulic motor that receives supply of hydraulic oil from the hydraulic system 6, similar to the traveling motor 20.

[0022] A plurality of screw holes S1 and S2 into which fixing male screw members Bv (see FIG. 7) are 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 drilled 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 drilled at intervals in the circumferential direction on the upward-facing surface of the outer ring 531.

[0023] In the following description, there may be references to machined (planar machined) parts. These machining operations are premised on being performed after machining operations with thermal effects 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 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 working 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 plane, and as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, a plurality of through holes H2... through which a plurality of male screw members Bv for fixing to the slewing bearing 53 (outer ring 531) are inserted are vertically penetrating. 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. In the working machine 1 of this embodiment, the position of the working device 3 changes when the base plate 55 rotates (turns) around the slewing center CL (the front-rear direction of the base plate 55 turns horizontally or reverses front and back by rotating around the slewing center CL), but since the posture in which the working device 3 is arranged on the front side in the forward direction of the traveling device 2 (traveling base 51) is defined as the standard posture, the description here is based on the standard posture.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 6, the center (centroid) in the plan view of the base plate 55 is shifted to the rear side in the front-rear direction with respect to the center C

[0028] The base plate 55 is provided with an opening for arranging a hole for inserting the output shaft of the swing motor 532, 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 a fuel tank 40 for storing fuel of the internal combustion engine (prime mover) 4, a hydraulic oil tank 61 for storing 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 in at least 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 in the front-rear direction of the base plate 55, a pair of leg portions 561, 561 extending rearward in the front-rear direction from the main body portion 560, and a device connection portion 562 to which the working device 3 is connected, and the device connection portion 562 extending forward in the front-rear direction from the main body portion 560.

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

[0033] On the installation surface 564, a screw hole S3 for screwing in a male screw member B, which is a screw member for fixing the support member 71, is bored downward. In the present embodiment, a pair of screw holes S3, S3 are bored in the installation surface 564 at intervals in the lateral direction. Between the pair of screw holes S3, S3 on 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 screw holes S3, S3 on 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 a male screw member Bv for fixing the slewing bearing 53 is 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 slewing 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, on the upper surface of the base plate 55, 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. Each of the pair of vertical ribs 565, 565 is a plate member 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 connection part 562 includes a pair of extension parts 563, 563 that each extend forward from the main body part 560 and are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. Through holes H3 for inserting a connection pin 303a for connecting the working device 3 are vertically provided at the tip ends of the pair of extension parts 563, 563. The through holes H3 of the pair of extension parts 563, 563 are concentric, and the connection pin 303a can be inserted concentrically into each of them.

[0037] In the device support 56, the main body part 560, the pair of leg parts 561, 561, and the device connection part 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 made of casting, and for example, it may be manufactured by combining a plurality of metal members (appropriately welding them) or may be a sheet metal product formed by processing a sheet 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. Also, 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, etc. The fuel tank 40 and the hydraulic oil tank 61 are arranged at intervals 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 the 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 arranging the step 57 above the leg. That is, each of the plurality of first support members 70 has an installation surface 700 for arranging 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] The base portion 710 is arranged on the installation surface 564 of the device support 56 as described above. 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 arranged 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 that 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 of being 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 to the rear side in the front-rear direction from the installation surface 564 of the device support 56, and the protection device support portion 711a protrudes to the rear side 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 base plate 55 in the vertical direction with a space therebetween 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 strip-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. In contrast, 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 slewing 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, the degree of freedom in the installation position of the protection device support portion 711a can be improved even when the slewing bearing 53 (outer ring 531) is disposed in the vicinity of the device support body 56. 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 work device 3. For example, even when having a guard member 58 in front of the front window 541 as shown in FIG. 1, it is possible to prevent interference between the work device 3 and the guard member 58, 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] A screw hole S6 for screwing a male screw member (screw member) 82 for fixing the driver's seat protection device 54 (frame 59) in the vertical direction is provided in a portion of the protection device support portion 711a that protrudes rearward from the installation surface 564 of the device support body 56 (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 in a portion that protrudes rearward from an edge on the rear side in the front-rear direction of the installation surface 564 of the device support body 56, which is a partially recessed edge from the rear to the front between a 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 surface of the protection device support portion 711a and the upper surface of 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 through 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 on the bottom surface of the countersink. Thereby, even when a load, vibration, or the like of the working device 3 (excavator device 3a) acts 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 head It has a small-diameter screw portion, and 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 arranged 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 part of the support column portion 721 is inserted is formed at a position offset (shifted) to one end side from the central part, and a through-hole H7 for inserting the screw member B2 is formed at a position offset to the other end side from the central part. The lower part 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 part inserted into the through-hole H5 is formed to have a smaller diameter than the main part. However, it is not limited thereto, and the protruding portion 722 may have the same diameter as the main part 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 convex portion 520 is provided. In the support convex portion 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 can be 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 in the case of 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 arranged at positions shifted to one side (the 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 convex portion 520 is a metal plate material welded to the upper surface of the base plate 55, and the upper surface is a planar installation surface (the surface overlapping the surface to be installed of the base 720) 520a in which flatness is ensured by machining. 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 convex portion 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.

[0070] A support convex portion 521 is provided at the arrangement position of the fifth support member 74 on the base plate 55 of the swivel base 52. In the support convex portion 521 and the base plate 55, a positioning hole H10 for fitting the protrusion 742 and a screw hole S11 for screwing the screw member B4 are provided in communication in the plate thickness direction of the support convex portion 521 and the base plate 55. 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 support plates 75 in the fourth support member 73 and the fifth support member 74 are arranged The height positions of the installation surfaces 733 and 743 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 arranged at an interval on the rear side with respect to the fourth support member 73 at the rearmost 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 fourth support member 73 at the rearmost 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.) arranged on the base plate 55 is arranged (see FIG. 9).

[0074] On the step 57, the driver's seat (seating seat) 50, operating devices, etc. are arranged, 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 arranged together with the step 57 inside.

[0075] Inside the driver's cab DR, the driver's seat 50 is arranged at the rear part on the step 57, and the operating devices are arranged 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 cabin, and as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, it includes 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 (cabin) 54 of this embodiment has, as wall portions, a front window 541 disposed on the front surface, a rear window 542 disposed on the rear surface, an entrance door 543 and a side window 544 disposed 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, which will be described later, from the engine room where the engine 4 is disposed.

[0077] As shown in FIG. 17, the driver's seat protection device 54 includes a roof 540 disposed 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 the window frame and serves as a framework for protecting 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 part 711a of a second support member 71 with its right front part, and on a support frame 10, which will be described later, with its left rear part and right rear part. Thereby, the entire driver's seat protection device 54 is supported by the 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, the pair of front pillars 590R and 590L being 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, the pair of rear pillars 591R and 591L being 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, the 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, the 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] The front fixing portion 592 is connected to the lower ends of the front pillars 590R and 590L as described above. 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 this embodiment, the front fixing portion 592 is formed in a plate shape. As shown in FIG. 18, a through hole H12 for inserting a male screw member 82 fixed (connected) to the swivel base 52 is formed in the front fixing portion 592. In this embodiment, the working machine 1 includes a vibration damping mechanism 8 for suppressing the 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.

[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 this embodiment, the relief portion 570 is formed in a round hole shape. Accordingly, in this 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 portion 570. In this embodiment, the frame 59 (driver's seat protection device 54) is fixed to the swivel base 52 via a vibration damping mechanism 8 disposed in the relief portion 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 this 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 portion 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 has a through hole 800 penetrating in the vertical direction. The elastic member 80, 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 penetrates 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 the collar 81 is formed so as to be loosely insertable. 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, and the large-diameter portion 80a 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 is concentrically disposed with the large-diameter portion 80a and can be fitted 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 (sectioned 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 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 for inserting the male screw member 82.

[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 for inserting the male screw member 82 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 hole 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 it 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, restricting the downward movement. As a result, the pressing member 84 is prevented from being pushed downward beyond the specified value, facilitating torque management.

[0092] In the present embodiment, the front fixing portion 592 is fixed to the swivel base 52 at two locations spaced apart in the lateral direction, and the vibration isolation mechanism 8 having the above configuration is arranged at each fixing position (support position). Also, regarding the rear fixing portion 593, it is fixed to the swivel base 52 at two locations spaced apart in the lateral direction, and the vibration isolation mechanism 8 having the above configuration is arranged at each fixing position (support position). In the above description, the front fixing portion 592 was described on the premise of being 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 arranged 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 is fixed to the step 57 such that the seat surface is located within a region behind the center in the front-rear direction of the step 57 in plan view. The seat surface and the backrest of the driver's seat 50 are slidable in the front-rear direction, and the backrest is tiltable (reclining) and movable. 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 operation 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 situation ahead 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 on the rear side (diagonally downward and rearward of the seat surface) of the step 57 and the driver's seat 50.

[0097] The working machine 1 includes a partition wall 9 that partitions the driver's cab DR (the area where the driver's seat 50 is arranged) and the area where the prime mover 4 is arranged (prime mover room). As shown in FIGS. 11 and 17, 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.

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

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

[0100] The lower ends of the front leg portions 101, 111 are attached to first support members 70 , 70 that are erected on the base plate 55, and include first inclined portions 101a, 111a that are slightly inclined rearward as they go upward, and second inclined portions 101b, 111b that are connected to the upper ends of the first inclined portions 101a, 111a and are inclined rearward at a larger inclination angle than the first inclined portions 101a, 111a as they go upward. The lower end portions of the front leg portions 101, 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, 112 are connected to rear end support members 715, 715 that 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, 112 are connected and supported by rear end support members 715, 715 that are erected at the rear end of the base plate 55.

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

[0104] One end of the leg connecting portion 120 is 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 targeting the rear fixing portion 593, the male screw member (stud bolt) 82 has its 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. Based on this, elastic members 80, pressing members 84, etc. are incorporated on the leg connecting portion 120. Also, in the vibration isolation mechanism 8 disposed on the first support member 70 that supports the left front of the step 57, the male screw member (stud bolt) 82 has its other end side positioned upward, and is screwed into the screw hole S5 so as to stand vertically or substantially vertically with respect to the upper surface (installation surface) of the installation surface 700. Based on this, elastic members 80, pressing members 84, etc. are incorporated on the leg connecting portion 120.

[0106] As shown in FIG. 20, the partition wall 9 is disposed so as to close (block) the space between the pair of support legs 100, 110 constituting the support frame 10, and is attached to the pair of support legs 100, 110. Specifically, the partition wall 9 includes a first inclined partition wall portion 9a that covers the region between the first inclined portions 101a, 111a of the support legs 100, 110, a second inclined partition wall portion 9b that covers the region between the second inclined portions 101b, 111b of the support legs 100, 110, and a ceiling partition wall portion 9c that covers the region in front of the leg connecting portion 120 between the beam portions 103, 113 of the support legs 100, 110. Further, the second inclined partition wall portion 9b of the partition wall 9 is provided with an inspection port 93 that can be accessed from the driver's seat 50 side to the prime mover 4 side, and a closing body 94 that can close the inspection port 93.

[0107] The partition wall 9 is a sound-absorbing wall (soundproof wall) for suppressing the propagation of the sound in the engine room (such as the driving sound of the engine 4) into the driver's cab DR. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 21, the partition wall 9 includes a pair of metal plates 90 and 91 (hereinafter, one metal plate 90 is referred to as the first metal plate, and the other metal plate 91 is referred to as the second metal plate) arranged to face each other with a space from the driver's seat 50 side to the engine room side, a sound-absorbing material 92, and a space maintaining member (spacer) 96 disposed between the first metal plate 90 and the second metal plate 91. Note that the partition wall 9 also has a function of suppressing the propagation of the heat in the engine room into the driver's cab DR.

[0108] Each of the metal plates 90 and 91 is formed by bending a single metal plate, and a first inclined partition wall portion 9a, a second inclined partition wall portion 9b, and a ceiling partition wall portion 9c are integrally formed. Note that each of the metal plates 90 and 91 may be formed by integrating a plurality of plates by welding or the like, or may be divided into a plurality of regions. In the present embodiment, the second metal plate 91 is formed of a thinner plate than the first metal plate 90.

[0109] A space maintaining member 96 for maintaining a constant space between the two metal plates is disposed between the first metal plate 90 and the second metal plate 91. The space maintaining member 96 is a prismatic member extending from the support leg 100 side to the support leg 110 side. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 22, the space maintaining member 96 is provided at three locations: the upper and lower portions of the first inclined partition wall portion 9a and the rear portion of the ceiling partition wall portion 9c. In the present embodiment, the space maintaining member 96 is fixed to the second metal plate 91 (91a, 91c) by welding. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the space maintaining member 96 may be fixed to the first metal plate 90, or may be fixed to both the first metal plate 90 and the second metal plate 91. Further, the space maintaining member 96 may function as a reinforcing member for reinforcing the first metal plate 90 and / or the second metal plate 91.

[0110] In the partition 9, both side ends of the lower part 91a of the second metal plate 91 are in close contact with the front surfaces of the first inclined portions 101a and 111a of the support legs 100 and 110 respectively, both side ends of the central part 91b of the second metal plate 91 are in close contact with the front surfaces of the second inclined portions 101b and 111b of the support legs 100 and 110 respectively, and both side ends of the upper part 91c of the second metal plate 91 are in close contact with the upper surfaces of the beam portions 103 and 113 of the support legs 100 and 110 respectively, and it is attached to the support frame 10 by welding or screw fixing. Note that a part of the first metal plate 90 and a part of the second metal plate 91 may be integrated by welding, bolting, or the like, or the first metal plate 90 and the second metal plate 91 may be separately fixed to the support frame 10.

[0111] The sound absorbing material 92 is a foamed resin (foamed urethane foam) and is in close contact with a pair of metal plates 90 and 91 (the first metal plate 90 and the second metal plate 91). However, the material of the sound absorbing material 92 is not limited to this, and it may be other foamed resins or materials having sound absorption or sound insulation properties other than foamed resins. Further, the sound absorbing material 92 preferably has heat insulation properties that reduce the heat transfer from the engine room to the driver's cab DR.

[0112] As shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, the inspection port 93 has a first opening 93a formed in the first metal plate 90 on the driver's seat 50 side and a second opening 93b formed at a position corresponding to the first opening 93a in the second metal plate 91 on the engine 4 side. In the present embodiment, the opening area of the second opening 93b is formed to be slightly smaller than that of the first opening 93a.

[0113] The closing body 94 includes a first closing plate 94a made of metal that closes the inspection port 93 in a state of overlapping the surface on the driver's seat side of the peripheral edge of the first opening 93a in the first metal plate 90 (90b), and a second closing plate 94b made of metal that closes the inspection port 93 in a state of overlapping the surface on the driver's seat side of the peripheral edge of the second opening 93b in the second metal plate 91 (91b).

[0114] As shown in FIG. 24, a plurality of columnar support portions 910 capable of supporting the second closing plate 94b project convexly toward the first metal plate 90 side on the second metal plate 91. Further, a notch portion 941 that can be fitted to the support portion 910 is formed at the lower end portion of the second closing plate 94b. Note that the shapes and the number of the support portion 910 and the notch portion 941 are not limited to the above configuration, and any shape capable of supporting the second closing plate 94b may be used. Further, the closing body 94 includes a sound absorbing material 97 interposed between the first closing plate 94a and the second closing plate 94b.

[0115] As shown in FIG. 23, on each of the first closing plate 94a and the second closing plate 94b grip pieces 940a and 940b project convexly. The grip piece 940a provided on the first closing plate 94a projects toward the driver's seat 50 side from the surface of the first closing plate 94a facing the driver's seat 50 side. On the other hand, the grip piece 940b provided on the second closing plate 94b projects toward the driver's seat 50 side from the upper end of the second closing plate 94b.

[0116] Furthermore, in addition to the grip piece 940a, a handle 950 that can be gripped is attached to the first closing plate 94a. The handle 950 includes extending portions 950b, 950b that extend upward from the upper end of the first closing plate 94a, and a grip portion 950a that connects the upper ends of the extending portions 950b, 950b.

[0117] In the present embodiment, the handle 950 is formed by bending a round bar, and the grip portion 950a and the pair of extending portions 950b, 950b are continuously integrated, and the ends of the extending portions 950b, 950b are fixed (welded in the present embodiment) to the outer surface of the first closing plate 94a on the driver's seat 50 side.

[0118] The first closing plate 94a is screwed to the first metal plate 90 via a male screw member B6. The second closing plate 94b is screwed to the second metal plate 91 via a male screw member B7. In the present embodiment, through holes for inserting the male screw members B6 and B7 are provided in each of the first metal plate 90 and the second metal plate 91, and nuts (back nuts) concentric with the through holes are attached to the surfaces on the prime mover chamber side.

[0119] In the present embodiment, a sealing member 95 for filling the gap is interposed between the opposing portions of the first closing plate 94a and the first metal plate 90. As the sealing member 95, for example, foamed resin, rubber, or the like can be used. Incidentally, a sealing material 98 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 coincides with 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 first embodiment of the present invention is as described above. Subsequently, the working machine 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0123] The working machine 1 of the second embodiment has the same configuration as the working machine 1 of the first embodiment except for the partition wall 9. Accordingly, in the following description, for the configurations other than the partition wall 9, detailed description thereof will be omitted with reference to the description of the first embodiment, and here, only the partition wall 9 and the configurations necessary for the description of the partition wall 9 will be described. In addition, when referring to the description of the first embodiment, the same name and the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment will be given to the same configurations or corresponding configurations described in the first embodiment. Also, in this embodiment as well, the description will be based on the standard posture.

[0124] The partition wall 9 of this embodiment is a sound-absorbing wall (soundproof wall) for suppressing the propagation of the sound in the prime mover chamber (such as the driving sound of the prime mover 4) into the cab DR. Accordingly, the partition wall 9 is disposed between the cab DR and the prime mover chamber, and partitions the cab DR side and the prime mover chamber side. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 25, the partition wall 9 is disposed so as to close (block) the space between a pair of support legs 100 and 110 constituting the support frame 10, and is attached to the pair of support legs 100 and 110.

[0125] The partition wall 9 includes a plurality of regions. The partition wall 9 of this embodiment has, similarly to the first embodiment, a first inclined partition wall portion 9a, a second inclined partition wall portion 9b, and a ceiling partition wall portion 9c. Thereby, the partition wall 9 includes three regions: the first inclined partition wall portion 9a, the second inclined partition wall portion 9b, and the ceiling partition wall portion 9c. The partition wall 9 includes an inspection port 93 accessible from the driver's seat 50 side to the prime mover 4 side, and a closing body 94 capable of closing the inspection port 93. In the partition wall 9 of this embodiment, the inspection port 93 and the closing body 94 are provided in the second inclined partition wall portion 9b.

[0126] As shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, the partition wall 9 includes a pair of metal plates 90 and 91 that are arranged to face each other with a space therebetween from the driver's seat 50 side to the engine room side, and a sound-absorbing material 92 disposed between the pair of metal plates 90 and 91. Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 26 to 28, the partition wall 9 is a sealing material 98 having elasticity, which is sandwiched between the pair of metal plates 90 and 91 and surrounds the periphery of the sound-absorbing material 92 disposed between the pair of metal plates 90 and 91.

[0127] The pair of metal plates 90 and 91 (the first metal plate 90 and the second metal plate 91) may be formed in the same shape and size, but in the present embodiment, they are formed in different shapes. Specifically, a notch is formed at the end of the second metal plate 91 on the other side in the lateral direction by cutting it on one side in the lateral direction. Therefore, the pair of metal plates 90 and 91 (the first metal plate 90 and the second metal plate 91) do not face each other entirely, and the first metal plate 90 includes a non-facing region that does not face the second metal plate 91. That is, the outer contour (outer periphery) of the first metal plate 90 and the outer contour (outer periphery) of the second metal plate 91 do not match when viewed from the direction in which they are arranged side by side.

[0128] As shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, the second metal plate 91 is a thinner plate than the first metal plate 90. That is, the plate thickness of the first metal plate 90 is thicker than the plate thickness of the second metal plate 91. Specifically, the plate thickness of the first metal plate 90 is set to be 1.5 times or more that of the second metal plate 91. In the present embodiment, the plate thickness of the first metal plate 90 is 3.2 mm, and the plate thickness of the second metal plate 91 is 2 mm. Therefore, the plate thickness of the first metal plate is set to be 1.6 times that of the second metal plate.

[0129] The sound-absorbing material 92 is disposed between a pair of metal plates 90 and 91, forms a gap G between at least one of the pair of metal plates 90 and 91, and faces the pair of metal plates 90 and 91. The sound-absorbing material 92 is in close contact with one of the pair of metal plates 90 and 91, i.e., the first metal plate 90, and is spaced apart from the other of the pair of metal plates 90 and 91, i.e., the second metal plate 91, to form the gap G therebetween. In the present embodiment, the sound-absorbing material 92 is in close contact with the first metal plate 90 on the driver's seat 50 side of the pair of metal plates 90 and 91, and is spaced apart from the second metal plate 91 of the pair of metal plates 90 and 91 to form the gap G therebetween.

[0130] More specifically, the sound-absorbing material 92 is a foamed resin (foamed urethane foam) as in the first embodiment and is formed in a plate shape. The thickness of the sound-absorbing material 92 is set to be smaller than the distance between the pair of metal plates 90 and 91. That is, the sound-absorbing material 92 has a thickness required for sound absorption and is set to a thickness that can form the gap G between the metal plates 90 and 91 (the first metal plate 90 and the second metal plate 91) when disposed between the pair of metal plates 90 and 91.

[0131] As described above, since the partition wall 9 of the present embodiment includes a plurality of regions (the first inclined partition wall portion 9a, the second inclined partition wall portion 9b, and the ceiling partition wall portion 9c), as shown in FIG. 28, the sound-absorbing material 92 is divided into a plurality of parts and is disposed in the corresponding regions. That is, the partition wall 9 includes a plurality of divided sound-absorbing materials 92a, 92b, and 92c as the sound-absorbing material 92 according to the regions where they are disposed.

[0132] More specifically, the sound-absorbing material 92 includes, as a plurality of divided sound-absorbing materials 92a, 92b, and 92c, a first sound-absorbing material 92a for the first inclined partition wall portion 9a, a second sound-absorbing material 92b for the second inclined partition wall portion 9b, and a third sound-absorbing material 92c for the ceiling partition wall portion 9c. Further, since the partition wall 9 has an inspection port 93 and a closing body 94 for closing the inspection port 93, the sound-absorbing material 92 further includes a fourth sound-absorbing material 97 for the closing body 94.

[0133] Each of the first sound-absorbing material 92a, the second sound-absorbing material 92b, the third sound-absorbing material 92c, and the fourth sound-absorbing material 97 is formed in a plate shape and has a thickness necessary for sound absorption. Also, as shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, each of the first sound-absorbing material 92a, the second sound-absorbing material 92b, the third sound-absorbing material 92c, and the fourth sound-absorbing material 97 is arranged between a pair of metal plates 90, 91 (the first metal plate 90 and the second metal plate 91) and is set to a thickness that can form a gap G between the opposing metal plates 90, 91.

[0134] The first sound-absorbing material 92a and the third sound-absorbing material 92c are formed in a substantially rectangular shape in plan view. That is, the first sound-absorbing material 92a is formed in a rectangular shape in plan view that is slightly smaller than the size of the first inclined partition portion 9a (90a, 91a), and the second sound-absorbing material 92b is formed in a rectangular shape in plan view that is slightly smaller than the ceiling partition portion 9c (90c, 91c). That is, the first sound-absorbing material 92a is set to a size that can be arranged within the first inclined partition portion 9a while securing a placement space for the sealing material 98, and the third sound-absorbing material 92c is set to a size that can be arranged within the ceiling partition portion 9c while securing a placement space for the sealing material 98.

[0135] In the present embodiment, since the inspection port 93 and the closing body 94 are provided in the second inclined partition portion 9b, the second sound-absorbing material 92b is arranged so as to avoid the inspection port 93, and the fourth sound-absorbing material 97 is formed according to the opening size and the opening shape of the inspection port 93. In the present embodiment, the second sound-absorbing material 92b is arranged on the other side in the lateral direction with respect to the inspection port 93. For this reason, the second sound-absorbing material 92b is set to a shape that avoids the cutout portion of the second metal plate.

[0136] In this embodiment, the first sound-absorbing material 92a is adhered to the first metal plate 90 (90a) of the first inclined partition portion 9a, the second sound-absorbing material 92b is adhered to the first metal plate 90 (90b) of the second inclined partition portion 9b, and the third sound-absorbing material 92c is adhered to the first metal plate 90 (90c) of the ceiling partition portion 90c. Further, the fourth sound-absorbing material 97 is adhered to the first closing plate 94a made of metal that constitutes the closing body 94. That is, in the partition 9 of this embodiment, the sound-absorbing materials 92 (the first sound-absorbing material 92a, the second sound-absorbing material 92b, the third sound-absorbing material 92c, and the fourth sound-absorbing material 97) are attached to the metal plates 90, 94a on the driver's cab DR side.

[0137] The sealing material 98 is a long body made of urethane rubber. The sealing material 98 can be curved in a direction orthogonal or intersecting the long (longitudinal) direction. In this embodiment, the sealing material 98 is formed in a rectangular cross-section. The outer dimension of the sealing material 98 in the direction orthogonal to the long (longitudinal) direction is set to be larger than the interval between the pair of metal plates 90, 91 (the first metal plate 90 and the second metal plate 91). That is, the sealing material 98 is set to a size that is compressed while being sandwiched between the pair of metal plates 90, 91 when disposed between the pair of metal plates 90, 91.

[0138] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the sealing material 98 as viewed from the long (longitudinal) direction is a rectangular shape including four sides in the outer contour (outer shape). Accordingly, among the four sides constituting the outer contour of the sealing material 98, the lengths of at least two sides extending in the same direction are set to be longer than the interval between the pair of metal plates 90, 91 (the first metal plate 90 and the second metal plate 91). In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the sealing material 98 is a square shape, and the length of any of the four sides is set to be longer than the interval between the pair of metal plates 90, 91 (the first metal plate 90 and the second metal plate 91).

[0139] The sealing material 98 surrounds the sound-absorbing material 92. In the present embodiment, since the partition wall 9 includes, as the sound-absorbing material 92, a plurality of divided sound-absorbing materials 92a, 92b, 92c, 97 (first sound-absorbing material 92a, second sound-absorbing material 92b, third sound-absorbing material 92c, and fourth sound-absorbing material 97), the sealing material 98 collectively surrounds all of the plurality of divided sound-absorbing materials 92a, 92b, 92c, 97 (first sound-absorbing material 92a, second sound-absorbing material 92b, third sound-absorbing material 92c, and fourth sound-absorbing material 97) between the pair of metal plates 90, 91. That is, the sealing material 98 is arranged across a plurality of regions of the partition wall 9, thereby surrounding the plurality of divided sound-absorbing materials 92a, 92b, 92c, 97 (first sound-absorbing material 92a, second sound-absorbing material 92b, third sound-absorbing material 92c, and fourth sound-absorbing material 97) together.

[0140] The sealing material 98 is arranged along the outer peripheral edge portions of the metal plates 90, 91. In the present embodiment, as described above, the outer contours (outer perimeters) of the pair of metal plates 90, 91 do not match, and the planar area of the second metal plate 91 is smaller than the planar area of the first metal plate 90. That is, while the second metal plate 91 faces the first metal plate 90 in its entirety, the first metal plate 90 has a portion that protrudes from the second metal plate 91.

[0141] Accordingly, in the partition wall 9 of the present embodiment, the sealing material 98 is arranged along the outer peripheral edge portion of the second metal plate 91 and is sandwiched and closely attached between the pair of metal plates 90, 91 (first metal plate 90, second metal plate 91). Thereby, the sealing material 98 is arranged in an annular shape. In other words, between the pair of metal plates 90, 91, the sealing material 98 is arranged in an annular shape, and the sound-absorbing material 92 (more specifically, a plurality of divided sound-absorbing materials 92a, 92b, 92c, 97) is arranged within the region surrounded by this sealing material 98.

[0142] The working machine 1 of the present embodiment has the above-described configuration, and the sound-absorbing effect (quietness) of the partition wall 9 is further enhanced, enabling the driver's cab DR to be comfortable. More specifically, since the partition wall 9 has, in addition to the pair of metal plates 90, 91, a sound-absorbing material 92 and a gap (space) G therebetween, the sound transmission rate from the prime mover 4 can be lowered, and the sound propagated to the driver's cab DR can be reduced.

[0143] Also, since the sound-absorbing material 92 is in close contact only with the first metal plate 90 (first metal plate 90), the resonance frequency of the partition wall 9 is changed, so that the generation of resonance sound can be suppressed.

[0144] Furthermore, since the sound-absorbing material 92 is separated from the second metal plate 91 (second metal plate 91), the bubbles of the sound-absorbing material 92, which is a foamed material, are not crushed. The energy of the sound transmitted through the second metal plate 91 is absorbed (attenuated) by the air in the gap G, and the energy of the sound weakened thereby is further converted into thermal energy by passing through the sound-absorbing material 92 (bubbles), and is further attenuated. Therefore, the energy of the sound transmitted through the first metal plate 90 (first metal plate 90) becomes very small or disappears. As a result, the quietness of the driver's cab DR is improved.

[0145] In particular, since the plate thickness of the first metal plate 90 (first metal plate 90) is thicker than the plate thickness of the second metal plate 91 (second metal plate 91), the mass of the first metal plate 90 (first metal plate 90) is also larger than that of the second metal plate 91 (second metal plate 91). Therefore, according to the mass law, the sound transmission loss amount at the first metal plate 90 (first metal plate 90) is large, so that the sound insulation performance on the driver's cab DR side is improved, and the quietness of the driver's cab DR is further enhanced.

[0146] Also, the sealing material 98 sandwiched between the pair of metal plates 90, 91 surrounds the sound-absorbing material 92 (a plurality of divided sound-absorbing materials 92a, 92b, 92c, 97 (first sound-absorbing material 92a, second sound-absorbing material 92b, third sound-absorbing material 92c, and fourth sound-absorbing material 97)), thereby suppressing sound leakage from the partition wall 9 (transmission of sound in a direction orthogonal to the sound propagation direction), and also suppressing sound leakage into the driver's cab DR. In particular, by arranging the sealing material 98 along the outer peripheral edge of the second metal plate 91 (second metal plate 91), the vibration (wobbling) of the pair of metal plates 90, 91 is suppressed, and the propagation (transmission) of sound can be suppressed, and thereby the quietness inside the driver's cab DR can be improved.

[0147] The work machine 11 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is as described above. Next, the work machine 1 according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0148] The work machine 1 of the third embodiment has the same configuration as that of the work machine 11 of the first embodiment, except for the support member (second support member) 71 that supports the driver's seat protection device 54. For this reason, for the same configuration or corresponding configuration as that described in the first embodiment, the same name and the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment are given, and the description thereof is omitted.

[0149] Similar to the first embodiment, the work machine 1 of the present embodiment is a support member 71 that is detachably attached to a device support body 56 that is attached to a base plate 55 and supports a working device 3, as shown in FIGS. 29 and 30, and includes a support member 71 that supports a driver's seat protection device 54.

[0150] The device support body 56 is disposed at a position slightly offset to one side (the right side when the front-rear direction is used as a reference) with respect to the center in the lateral direction. In contrast, the driver's cab DR is disposed on the other side in the lateral direction with respect to the device support body 56.

[0151] Accordingly, step 57 is also disposed on the other side in the lateral direction with respect to the device support body 56. Step 57 is supported at a plurality of locations, and one of them (one corner (right corner) in the plan view of step 57) is supported by a support member 71 attached to the device support body 56. The other locations are supported by another support member (third support member) 72.

[0152] As shown in FIGS. 30 to 32, the support member 71 has a base portion 710 attached to the device support body 56 and a support main body portion 711 connected to the base portion 710.

[0153] The base portion 710 is disposed on the installation surface 564 of the device support 56. Accordingly, 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 formed at positions communicating with a pair of screw holes S3, S3 provided in the installation surface 564 of the device support 56.

[0154] Also in this embodiment, the support member 71 includes a protection device support portion 711a that supports the driver's seat protection device 54 and a step support portion 711b that supports the step 57. In this embodiment, only the protection device support portion 711a that supports the driver's seat protection device 54 is provided on the support main body portion 711. That is, the support main body portion 711 is the protection device support portion 711a, and the step support portion 711b is separate from the support main body portion 711 (protection device support portion 711a). Accordingly, in this embodiment, in addition to the protection device support portion 711a and the step support portion 711b, the support member 71 connects either the base portion 710 or the support main body portion 711 to the step support portion 711b and supports the step support portion 711b at a predetermined position. It includes a support connection portion 713.

[0155] The support main body portion 711 (protection device support portion 711a) is disposed on the upper surface of the base portion 710. The support main body portion 711 is fixed to the base portion 710 while avoiding the pair of through holes H4, H4 (between the pair of through holes H4, H4). In this 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. On the other hand, unlike the first embodiment, the rear side in the front-rear direction of the support main body portion 711 (protection device support portion 711a) is accommodated within the upper surface of the base portion 710. Note that the front side in the front-rear direction of the support main body portion 711 (protection device support portion 711a) protrudes forward from the base portion 710.

[0156] The support main body 711 (the protection device support part 711a) is provided with a screw hole S6 for screwing a male screw member B1 for fixing the driver's seat protection device 54 (the frame 59) in the vertical direction. Thus, as shown in FIG. 33, the support main body 711 (the protection device support part 711a) of the support member 71 connects and supports the driver's seat protection device 54 (the frame 59) via the vibration isolation mechanism 8 in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

[0157] As shown in FIG. 34, step 57 is fixed in a state of being placed on the step support part 711b. In the present embodiment, step 57 is screwed to the step support part 711b. That is, the working machine 1 is a male screw member B1 that fixes step 57 to the step support part 711b, and includes a male screw member B1 that is inserted vertically through step 57 and screwed into the step support part 711b.

[0158] The step support part 711b extends in the vertical direction and has a lower end connected to the support arm part 713b and an upper end on the opposite side of the lower end, which is an upper end that supports step 57. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 31, the step support part 711b extends in the vertical direction and has a lower end and an upper end in the vertical direction. In the present embodiment, the step support part 711b is formed in a columnar shape, but the shape of the step support part 711b is not limited to this, and for example, it may be a prismatic shape. The lower end (lower end part) of the step support part 711b is connected (welded) to the support arm part 713b in a state of passing through a support arm part 713b, which will be described later, of the support connection part 713.

[0159] Thereby, the axis (center line) of the step support part 711b extends in the vertical direction and extends upward from the support arm part 713b. That is, the step support part 711b stands on the support arm part 713b. As shown in FIGS. 31 and 34, the end face (upper end face) of the upper end part of the step support part 711b is formed in a planar shape that spreads in a direction orthogonal to the center line, and constitutes an installation surface 712 for installing (placing) step 57. A screw hole S7 for screwing a male screw member B1 for fixing step 57 is drilled in the vertical direction in the upper end face (upper surface) of the step support part 711b.

[0160] The vertical length (height) of the step support portion 711b is set based on the position (height) of the support arm portion 713b so that the upper end surface (installation surface 712) of the step support portion 711b can support the step 57 at a predetermined position (height).

[0161] As shown in FIGS. 31 and 32, the support connecting portion 713 is connected to either the base portion 710 or the support main body portion 711, and includes a support extending portion 713a extending vertically from the one, and a support arm portion 713b extending from the support extending portion 713a in a direction intersecting the vertical direction, the support arm portion 713b to which the step support portion 711b is connected.

[0162] At least one of the support extending portion 713a and the support arm portion 713b is configured to be elastically deformable at least in a direction intersecting the vertical direction. In the present embodiment, both the support extending portion 713a and the support arm portion 713b are elastically deformable in a direction intersecting the vertical direction. That is, the support extending portion 713a is elastically deformable in a direction orthogonal to the vertical direction. On the other hand, the support arm portion 713b is elastically deformable in a direction orthogonal to the extending direction. The deformation here includes not only bending that bends in a curved shape but also twisting around a predetermined axis.

[0163] More specifically described. The support extending portion 713a hangs down from either the base portion 710 or the support main body portion 711. In the present embodiment, the support connecting portion 713 is connected to the base portion 710. More specifically, the support extending portion 713a is connected to the lower surface of a portion protruding rearward in the front-rear direction from the installation surface 564 of the device support 56 of the base portion 710, and hangs down from the lower surface of the base portion 710.

[0164] The support extension part 713a and the support arm part 713b of this embodiment are formed in a strip shape. As a result, each of the support extension part 713a and the support arm part 713b has a surface that spreads in the longitudinal direction and the short transverse direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, and has a thickness in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction and the short transverse direction. Along with this, each of the support extension part 713a and the support arm part 713b can be deformed (elastically deformed) in a curved shape in the thickness direction. Also, each of the support extension part 713a and the support arm part 713b can be torsionally deformed (elastically deformed) about an axis (center line) extending in the longitudinal direction. Note that the support extension part 713a and the support arm part 713b are not limited to a strip shape, and may be formed, for example, in a rod shape (round rod shape or square rod shape).

[0165] The support extension part 713a hangs down in the longitudinal direction. The support arm part 713b extends in the longitudinal direction. In this embodiment, the support extension part 713a and the support arm part 713b form a right angle. More specifically, the support arm part 713b is connected to the lower end part of the support extension part 713a and extends in a direction orthogonal to the direction (longitudinal direction) in which the support extension part 713a hangs down.

[0166] As described above, as each of the support extension part 713a and the support arm part 713b is formed in a strip shape, the support arm part 713b extends in the thickness direction of the support arm part 713b. In this embodiment, the support extension part 713a and the support arm part 713b are integrally formed. Specifically, the support extension part 713a and the support arm part 713b are integrally formed by bending a metal strip. Note that when the support extension part 713a and the support arm part 713b are formed in a rod shape, they may be integrally formed by bending a metal rod.

[0167] As shown in FIGS. 30 and 32, the support arm part 713b extends from the base part 710 to the rear end side of the base plate 55. The support arm part 713b extends in the extending direction of a virtual tangent line VL1 with respect to a virtual circle VC centered on the turning center CL.

[0168] In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 32, the support arm portion 713b extends in a direction of a virtual tangent line VL1 that is a virtual tangent line to a virtual circle VC centered on the turning center CL and that extends in a direction orthogonal to each of the front-rear direction and the vertical direction of the base plate 55 (or a virtual tangent line to the virtual circle VC). More specifically, the support arm portion 713b extends at an angle θ° of 45° or less in a plan view with respect to a virtual straight line VL2 that extends in a direction orthogonal to each of the front-rear direction and the vertical direction of the base plate 55. That is, the extending direction (angle θ°) of the support arm portion 713b is set so that at least a force in the front-rear direction orthogonal to the vertical direction acts as a load that elastically deforms the support connecting portion 713. In the present embodiment, the support arm portion 713b extends at an angle of approximately 20° in a plan view with respect to the virtual straight line VL2.

[0169] The working machine 1 of the present embodiment is as described above. In addition to the actions and effects of the working machines 1 of the first and second embodiments, it is possible to prevent loosening of the male screw member B1 that fixes step 57 and to stably arrange step 57, and the like. Such an effect is obtained.

[0170] The embodiments of the present invention (the first to third embodiments) are as described above, and the present invention (preferred embodiments thereof) provides the working machine 1 described in the following items.

[0171] (Item 1-1) A working machine 1 comprising 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, wherein the partition wall 9 includes a pair of metal plates 90, 91 arranged to face each other with a gap in a direction from the prime mover 4 toward the driver's seat 50.

[0172] 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 at intervals 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 at intervals, 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.

[0173] 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 if the thickness (weight) increases, a higher sound absorption effect can be obtained. Also, since the partition wall 9 is a double wall, the heat transfer to the driver's seat 50 side can be efficiently suppressed.

[0174] (Item 1-2) The working machine 1 according to item 1-1, wherein the partition wall 9 includes a sound absorption material 92 arranged between the pair of metal plates 90, 91.

[0175] 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 (absorption of 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.

[0176] (Item 1-3) The working machine 1 according to Item 1-2, wherein the sound-absorbing material 92 is disposed between the pair of metal plates 90 and 91, and forms a gap G with at least one of the pair of metal plates 90 and 91 and faces the pair of metal plates 90 and 91.

[0177] According to the working machine 1 of Item 1-3, the sound-absorbing material 92 and the gap (space) G between the pair of metal plates 90 and 91 can reduce the sound transmission rate of the entire partition wall 9. Thereby, the propagation of the sound of the prime mover 4 to the driver's seat 50 side can be suppressed, and the quietness at the driver's seat 50 is further enhanced.

[0178] (Item 1-4) The working machine 1 according to Item 1-3, wherein the sound-absorbing material 92 is in close contact with one of the pair of metal plates 90 and 91, and is separated from the other metal plate 91 of the pair of metal plates 90 and 91 to form a gap G with the other metal plate 91.

[0179] According to the working machine 1 of Item 1-4, since the sound-absorbing material 92 is in close contact with one of them, the resonance frequency of the partition wall 9 is changed, so that the generation of resonance sound can be suppressed. In addition, since the sound-absorbing material 92 is separated from the other metal plate 91 to form a gap G with the other metal plate 91, it is possible to avoid the state in which the sound-absorbing material 92 is crushed (pressed). Thereby, the function of the sound-absorbing material 92 can be sufficiently exerted.

[0180] (Item 1-5) The sound-absorbing material 92 is in close contact with one of the pair of metal plates 90 and 91 on the driver's seat 50 side, and is separated from the other metal plate 91 of the pair of metal plates 90 and 91 to form a gap G therebetween, and the working machine 1 according to Item 1-4.

[0181] According to the working machine 1 of Item 1-5, since the sound-absorbing material 92 is in close contact with one of the pair of metal plates 90 on the driver's seat 50 side, generation of resonance sound on the driver's seat 50 side can be suppressed. Further, the sound with weakened energy passes through the gap G and attempts to pass through one of the metal plates 90 and the sound-absorbing material 92. Therefore, the combination of the metal plate 90 and the sound-absorbing material 92 further absorbs the energy of the weakened sound. Thereby, propagation of the sound of the prime mover 4 to the driver's seat 50 side can be suppressed, and the quietness at the driver's seat 50 is further enhanced.

[0182] (Item 1-6) The thickness of one of the metal plates 90 is thicker than the thickness of the other metal plate 91, and the working machine 1 according to Item 1-5.

[0183] According to the working machine 1 of Item 1-6, since the thickness of one of the metal plates 90 is thicker than that of the other metal plate 91, the mass (weight) of one of the metal plates 90 is also larger (heavier) than that of the other metal plate 91. Therefore, according to the mass law, the sound transmission rate of one of the metal plates 90 on the driver's seat 50 side becomes smaller, and sound absorption on the driver's seat 50 side can be enhanced.

[0184] (Item 1-7) The partition wall 9 is a sealing material 98 having elasticity, and includes a sealing material 98 sandwiched between the pair of metal plates 90 and 91 and surrounding the periphery of the sound-absorbing material 92 disposed between the pair of metal plates 90 and 91, and the working machine 1 according to any one of Items 1-3 to 1-6.

[0185] According to the working machine 1 of items 1-7, since the sound-absorbing material 92 is surrounded by the sealing material 98, it is possible to suppress sound leakage in the direction orthogonal to the direction in which the pair of metal plates 90 and 91 face each other.

[0186] (Item 1-8) The working machine 1 according to item 1-7, wherein the sealing material 98 is arranged along the outer peripheral edge of the metal plate 91.

[0187] According to the working machine 1 of item 1-8, the sealing material 98 is arranged along the outer peripheral edge of the metal plate 91, it is possible to suppress the generation of vibration of the metal plates 90 and 91, and it is also possible to suppress the generation of vibration noise (so-called rattling sound) of the metal plates 90 and 91.

[0188] (Item 1-9) 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.

[0189] According to the working machine 1 of item 1-9, 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-stage absorbed. Thereby, the absorption rate of the sound propagated to the driver's seat 50 side can be increased.

[0190] (Item 1-10) The working machine 1 according to any one of items 1-2 to 1-9, wherein the sound-absorbing material 92 is a foamed resin.

[0191] According to the working machine 1 of item 1-10, since the sound-absorbing material 92 is a foamed resin, the partition wall 9 has an excellent sound absorption 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 quietness at the driver's seat 50 is enhanced.

[0192] (Item 1-11) 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 first closing plate 94a made of metal 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 second closing plate 94b made of metal 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 any one of Items 1-1 to 1-10.

[0193] According to the working machine 1 of Item 1-11, 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. In addition, the closing member 94 for closing the inspection port 93 includes a first closing plate 94a made of metal 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 second closing plate 94b made of metal 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.

[0194] (Item 1-12) 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 1-11.

[0195] According to the working machine 1 of Items 1-12, 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. Therefore, when opening and closing the inspection port 93, both the first closing plate 94a and the second closing plate 94b can be attached and detached from the driver's seat 50 side. Thus, when opening and closing the inspection port 93, both the first closing plate 94a and the second closing plate 94b can be attached and detached from the driver's seat 50 side.

[0196] (Item 1-13) The working machine 1 according to Item 1-11, wherein the first closing plate 94a is screwed to the first metal plate 90, and the second closing plate 94b is screwed to the second metal plate 91.

[0197] According to the working machine 1 of Item 1-13, 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, it is easy to open and close the inspection port 93.

[0198] (Item 1-14) The working machine 1 according to Item 1-11, wherein a seal 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.

[0199] According to the working machine 1 of Item 1-14, even in a manner where a gap can be 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 seal member 95 fills the gap, preventing the sound not absorbed in the previous stage from leaking out through the gap. Also, it is suppressed that the first closing plate 94a dynamically interferes (vibrates) with one of the metal plates 90 or the second closing plate 94b dynamically interferes (vibrates) with the other metal plate 91 due to vibration.

[0200] (Item 1-15) 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, and the working machine 1 according to any one of Items 1-1 to 1-14.

[0201] According to the working machine 1 of Item 1-15, 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.

[0202] (Item 1-16) In the working machine 1 according to Item 1-11, a support portion 910 capable of mounting and supporting the second closing plate 94b is protruded toward the first metal plate 90 on the second metal plate 91.

[0203] According to the working machine 1 of Item 1-16, 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 / 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.

[0204] (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 is a base plate 55 supported by the traveling device 2 and capable of turning with an axis extending in the vertical direction as a turning center CL, a device support body 56 attached to the base plate 55 and 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 that protects the driver's seat 50. A support member 71 that supports the driver's seat protection device 54 is detachably attached to the device support body 56.

[0205] ​ 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. Thereby, 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.

[0206] (Item 2-2) The working machine 1 according to item 2-1 includes a swivel bearing 53 supported by the traveling device 2, and the base plate 55 is fixed to the swivel bearing 53 via a plurality of male screw members Bv arranged in an annular region CA that projects and overlaps the swivel bearing 53 in the vertical direction. The support member 71 includes a base portion 710 attached to the device support 56 at a position deviated 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.

[0207] 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 inspection and maintenance regarding 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, and access to the base plate 55 and the male screw member Bv will be facilitated.

[0208] In particular, since the base portion 710 of the support member 71 is attached to the device support 56 at a position deviated from a position that vertically projects and overlaps the male screw member Bv, 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 also be appropriately performed.

[0209] (Item 2-3) The device support 56 has a planar installation surface 564 for installing the support member 71 on its upper surface. The base portion 710 is disposed on the installation surface 564 and fixed to the device support 56 by a screw member B.

[0264] (Item 3-8) The fixing portions 720, 730, and 740 have through holes H7, H8, and H11 that penetrate in the vertical direction and through which the screw members B2, B3, and B4 are inserted. The support convex portions 520, 521, and 522 have holes S9, S10, and S11 through which the screw members B2, B3, and B4 inserted through the through holes H7, H8, and H11 are inserted or screwed. The working machine 1 according to item 3-7.

[0265] According to the working machine 1 of items 3-8, since the common screw members B2, B3, and B4 pass through the holes S9, S10, and S11 of the support convex portions 520, 521, and 522 and the through holes H7, H8, and H11 of the fixing portions 720, 730, and 740, it is possible to prevent the support members 72, 73, and 74 from tilting due to the fastening force of the screw members B2, B3, and B4. That is, since the fixing portions 720, 730, and 740 are fixed with the screw members B2, B3, and B4 within the region where the support members 72, 73, and 74 are in planar contact with the support convex portions 520, 521, and 522, it is possible to prevent the support members 72, 73, and 74 from tilting with the outer peripheries (edges) of the support convex portions 520, 521, and 522 as fulcrums. Thereby, the support members 71, 73, and 74 can be set in an appropriate posture.

[0266] (Item 3-9) In the working machine 1 according to item 3-7, the installation surfaces of the fixing parts 720, 730, 740 on the support projections 520, 521, 522 and the surfaces to be installed on the installation surfaces 520a, 521a of the fixing parts 720, 730, 740 are machined flat surfaces.

[0267] According to the working machine 1 of item 3-9, since the flatness of each of the installation surfaces 520a, 521a and the surfaces to be installed that are in surface contact with each other is increased, the posture and the like in the state where the support members 72, 73, 74 are arranged become appropriate.

[0268] Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it is needless to say that appropriate changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0269] For example, in the above-described embodiment, as an example of the working machine 1, an excavator has been described, but the working machine 1 is not limited to an excavator. The working machine 1 may be other construction machines, agricultural machines, UVs (utility vehicles), etc. More specifically, the working machine 1 may be a tractor, a skid steer loader, a wheel loader, or the like.

[0270] In the above-described embodiment, the working machine 1 includes, as the driver's seat protection device 54, a cabin that defines a driver's cab DR (a space having specified dimensions in the lateral direction, the longitudinal direction, and the height direction) including the driver's seat 50, but is not limited thereto. For example, as shown in FIG. 35, the working machine 1 may include a plurality of columns 590L, 590R, 591L, 591R erected around the driver's seat 50 and a roof 540 supported above the driver's seat 50 by the columns 590L, 590R, 591L, 591R, that is, a so-called canopy. Note that although the frame 59 of the canopy is different in appearance (design) from the frame 59 of the cabin 54, since they are common in structure, the description of the frame 59 of the cabin 54 in the above-described embodiment can be read as the description of the frame of the canopy. Accordingly, in FIG. 35, the components corresponding to or common to the frame of the cabin 54 are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in the above-described embodiment.
