[0013] The work vehicle 1 further includes a bonnet cover 9. The bonnet cover 9 is provided at the rear end of the vehicle body frame 2 and covers an opening 82. FIG. 2 is a partial rear view of the periphery of the bonnet cover 9 of the work vehicle 1. Referring to FIG. 2, the bonnet cover 9 is swingable about a cover rotation axis line Axc. In FIG. 2, since a hinge 91 for rotating the bonnet cover 9 exists on the back side of the bonnet cover 9, the hinge 91 is illustrated by a dotted line. The vehicle body frame 2 includes an upper cover 8 above and in front of the bonnet cover 9. The upper cover 8 is openable and closable.
[0014] FIG. 3 is a partial rear view of the work vehicle 1 when the bonnet cover 9 is removed. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, the vehicle body frame 2 includes a support wall 81 and has an opening 82 with the support wall 81 as a part of its outer periphery. The vehicle body frame 2 forming the opening 82 covers the front and peripheral portions of the engine 6 and the cooling fan 20. FIG. 4 is a view of the engine 6, the cooling fan 20, the first shroud 10, the second shroud 15, and the heat exchanger 7. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the cooling fan 20, the first shroud 10, the second shroud 15, and the heat exchanger 7. FIG. 6 is an enlarged view showing the cooling fan 20, the first shroud 10, the second shroud 15, and the heat exchanger 7. In FIGS. 3 to 4, illustration of the pair of arms 42 is omitted. Referring to FIGS. 3 to 5, the heat exchanger 7 has a first surface 71 and a second surface 72 opposite to the first surface 71 in the thickness direction Dt.

The second shroud 15 has a cylindrical shape extending in the thickness direction Dt from the base end portion 16 to the distal end portion 17.
[0015] Referring to FIG. 3, the work vehicle 1 further includes a support frame 30 and a hinge 93. The support frame 30 supports the heat exchanger 7 and the first shroud 10 so as to expose the end portion 17 and the second surface 72. As shown in FIGS. 3, 5, and 6, the support frame 30 is a frame-shaped member that surrounds the outer peripheral surface connecting the first surface 71 and the second surface 72 of the heat exchanger 7. Referring to FIG. 3, the hinge 93 is provided on the support wall 81. The hinge 93 is connected to the support frame 30. The support frame 30 is supported by the hinge 93 so as to be rotatable about a hinge rotation axis Axh that is substantially parallel to the wall surface of the support wall 81. More specifically, the hinge 93 has a hinge rotation axis Axh, includes a hinge rotation shaft 94 that extends along the hinge rotation axis Axh and is swingable integrally with the support frame 30, and a shaft support plate 95 that is fixed to the support wall 81 and has a through hole through which the hinge rotation shaft 94 passes. Thereby, the support frame 30 can be opened and closed so that the heat exchanger 7 can be rotated rearward, and maintenance workers can perform maintenance work on the heat exchanger 7 and the engine 6.
[0016] Referring to FIGS. 3 to 6, the cooling fan 20 includes a fan rotation shaft 21 and a plurality of blades 22. The fan rotation shaft 21 extends along a fan rotation axis Axf passing through the opening 82. As shown in FIG. 3 and the like, the fan rotation axis Axf and the hinge rotation axis Axh are skew lines. In the present embodiment, the hinge rotation axis Axh, the fan rotation axis Axf, and the width direction Dw are substantially perpendicular to each other. Preferably, when the fan rotation axis Axf is projected onto the plane including the hinge rotation axis Axh, the projected line is perpendicular to the hinge rotation axis Axh. However, when the fan rotation axis Axf is projected onto the plane including the hinge rotation axis Axh, the projected line is perpendicular to the hinge rotation axis Axh. The plurality of blades 22 are provided around the fan rotation shaft 21 in the radial direction with respect to the fan rotation axis Axf. The cooling fan 20 is configured to rotate the plurality of blades 22 around the fan rotation axis Axf to generate cooling air.
[0017] 4, the first shroud 10 is connected to the vehicle body frame 2 between the plurality of blades 22 and the support wall 81, and covers a part of the radially outer side of the movable range 24 of the plurality of blades 22. Referring to FIG. 5, the first shroud 10 is arranged in the axial direction D along the fan rotation axis Axf. AX The first shape is substantially arc-shaped when viewed from the outside, and AX The first shape is such that the inner circumferential surface of the first shroud 10 extends in the axial direction D AX 6, the first shroud 10 is supported on the body frame 2 via stays 14. When the support frame 30 is located at a first position P1 where the heat exchanger 7 faces the cooling fan 20, the end portions 17 of the first shroud 10 and the second shroud 15 cover the outer periphery of the movable range 24 in the radial direction.
[0018] 6, the radius R2 of the second shape is substantially equal to the radius R1 of the first shape. When the support frame 30 is located at the first position P1, the center C1 of the first shape and the center C2 of the second shape substantially coincide with each other. The centers C1 and C2 are located on the fan rotation axis Axf. The central angle θ2 of the second shape is 180 degrees or more, and the central angle θ1 of the first shape is 180 degrees or less. The distance L2 between the two end points E3 and E4 of the approximately arc shape of the second shape is 180 degrees or less in the axial direction D. AX Diameter L of the range of motion 24 24 The distance L1 between the two end points E1 and E2 of the substantially arcuate shape of the first shape is greater than the diameter L of the movable range 24. 24 A gap 18 is provided between the two end points E1 and E3 to prevent collision between the first shroud 10 and the second shroud 15 due to rattle of the hinge 93. A gap 19 is provided between the two end points E2 and E4 to prevent collision between the first shroud 10 and the second shroud 15 due to rattle of the hinge 93.
[0019] FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along the cutting plane line VII-VII' of FIG. 6. Referring to FIG. 7, when the support frame 30 is located at the first position P1 where the heat exchanger 7 faces the cooling fan 20, the first shroud 10 abuts against the base end portion 16 of the second shroud 15. More specifically, referring to the enlarged view of region A in FIG. 7, the first shroud 10 includes a first shroud main body 11 and an elastic body 12. The first shroud 10 is provided with an elastic body 12 at a portion (the radially outer and rear end portion of the first shroud main body 11) that abuts against the base end portion 16 of the second shroud 15 when the support frame 30 is located at the first position P1. Referring to FIGS. 5 and 7, when the support frame 30 is located at the first position P1 where the heat exchanger 7 faces the cooling fan 20, the first shroud 10 and the second shroud 15 cover the periphery of the cooling fan 20 in the radial direction so that the cooling air passes through the first surface 71 and the second surface 72.
[0020] FIG. 8 is a view seen from the rear when the heat exchanger 7, the support frame 30, and the second shroud 15 are arranged at the second position P2. Referring to FIG. 8, when the support frame 30 is located at the second position P2 where the heat exchanger 7 exposes the opening 82 to the outside of the vehicle body frame 2, the fan rotation shaft 21, the plurality of blades 22, and the first shroud 10 are uncovered. Therefore, it is possible to access the internal space on the side opposite to the opening 82 with respect to the cooling fan 20 through the gap between the opening 82 and the plurality of blades 22.
[0021] FIG. 7 shows the region R24 that can be occupied by the movable range 24 of the cooling fan 20 when the support frame 30 is rotated around the hinge rotation axis Axh. As can be seen from the fact that in FIG. 7 the region R24 does not contact the left base end portion 16 and the right end portion 17 of the second shroud 15, and in FIG. 6 the region R24 does not contact the end portion 17 of the second shroud 15, when the support frame 30 rotates from the second position P2 to the first position P1, the second shape is defined so that the end portion 17 of the second shroud 15 does not enter the movable range 24.
[0022] Figure 9 is a top view of the rear part of the work vehicle 1 when the upper cover 8 is removed. In Figure 9, the illustration of the engine 6 is omitted. As shown in Figure 9, the hinge rotation axis line Axh is provided on the side opposite to the cover rotation axis line Axc with respect to the opening 82. That is, the bonnet cover 9 and the support frame 30 are configured to open to opposite sides respectively. For this reason, a double-leaf door is formed by the bonnet cover 9 and the support frame 30, and the second surface 72 can be covered by the bonnet cover 9. Referring to Figures 2, 3, and 8, when the bonnet cover 9 is rotated to the position covering the second surface 72, it has a plurality of air holes 92 in the portion facing the second surface 72. The outside air sucked in from the air holes 89 etc. of the upper cover 8 is discharged from the plurality of air holes 92 of the bonnet cover 9 after cooling the engine 6 and the heat exchanger 7.
[0023] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 5, 6, 8, and 9, the support frame 30 has rollers 32 at its lower end, and when a maintenance operator moves the support frame 30, the rollers 32 roll on the bottom wall 83 of the vehicle body frame 2, so that the maintenance operator can easily move the support frame 30. Also, during the operation of the work vehicle 1, since the support frame 30 is supported by the bottom wall 83 via the rollers 32, a large load is prevented from being applied to the hinge 93 for a long time.
[0024] Also, as shown in FIG. 9, the hinge rotation axis line Axh is located behind the rear end 81RE of the support wall 81. As a result, the heat exchanger 7, the support frame 30, and the second shroud 15 can be rotated by 90 degrees or more around the hinge rotation axis line Axh. That is, the posture of the support frame 30 when located at the second position P2 is a posture obtained by rotating by 90 degrees or more around the hinge rotation axis line Axh from the posture of the support frame 30 when located at the first position P1. In FIG. 9, the heat exchanger 7, the support frame 30, and the second shroud 15 at the first position P1 are shown by solid lines, the support frame 30 and the second shroud 15 at the second position P2 are shown by two-dot chain lines, and the heat exchanger 7 at the second position P2 is shown by a one-dot chain line. The illustrated second position P2 indicates a position obtained by rotating 105 degrees from the first position P1. <Effects of the First Embodiment>
[0025] In the work vehicle 1 according to the first embodiment, when the support frame 30 is located at the second position P2 where the heat exchanger 7 exposes the opening 82 to the outside of the vehicle body frame 2, the fan rotation shaft 21 and the plurality of blades 22 are exposed. For this reason, when the member provided with the heat exchanger 7 is opened, access to the engine room becomes easy by using the gap between the opening 82 and the plurality of blades 22. Further, by providing the first shroud 10 in a region where the end portion 17 of the second shroud 15 is notched so that the second shroud 15 does not contact the plurality of blades 22, the amount of cooling air passing through the heat exchanger 7 can be increased, and the cooling efficiency can be improved. <Second Embodiment>
[0026] In the first embodiment, gaps 18 and 19 are provided between the first shroud 10 and the second shroud 15. However, the gaps 18 and 19 may not be provided by changing the shapes of the first shroud 10 and the second shroud 15. The first shroud and the second shroud having such a configuration are referred to as the first shroud 10a and the second shroud 15a, respectively, and a work vehicle including the first shroud 10a and the second shroud 15a is referred to as a work vehicle 1a. FIG. 10 is a front view showing the cooling fan 20, the first shroud 10a, the second shroud 15a, and the heat exchanger 7 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 11 is a front view showing the cooling fan 20, the first shroud 10a, the second shroud 15a, and the heat exchanger 7. FIG. 11 is a top view showing the cooling fan 20, the first shroud 10a, the second shroud 15a, and the heat exchanger 7. FIG. 12 is a left side view showing the cooling fan 20, the first shroud 10a, the second shroud 15a, and the heat exchanger 7. In FIGS. 10 to 12, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted. In the second embodiment, only the structures of the first shroud 10a and the second shroud 15a are different. Note that the structures of the first shroud 10a and the second shroud 15a other than those shown below are the same as the structures of the first shroud 10 and the second shroud 15 in the first embodiment.
[0027] As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the first shroud body 11a of the first shroud 10a and the end portion 17a of the second shroud 15a have a structure in which they are in oblique contact. At the two end portions E5 and E6 of the first shroud body 11a, the thickness in the thickness direction Dt of the end portion 17a of the second shroud 15a is substantially equal to the thickness in the thickness direction Dt of the end portion 17 of the second shroud 15 in the first embodiment. The thickness in the thickness direction Dt of the end portion 17a of the second shroud 15a becomes zero near the end points E1 and E2 in the first embodiment. Therefore, it is desirable that the central angle θ1 of the first shape in the present embodiment is 180 degrees or more. It is desirable that the inclination is gentle so that the elastic body 12 can absorb the displacement due to the play of the hinge 93. In the first embodiment, the thickness in the thickness direction Dt of the first shroud body 11 is substantially equal to the thickness in the thickness direction Dt of the end portion 17 of the second shroud 15. However, in the second embodiment, the maximum thickness in the thickness direction Dt of the first shroud body 11a is larger than the maximum thickness in the thickness direction Dt of the end portion 17a of the second shroud 15a. <Effect of the Second Embodiment>
[0028] In the work vehicle 1a according to the second embodiment, since the first shroud body 11a of the first shroud 10a and the end portion 17a of the second shroud 15a have a structure in which they are in oblique contact, it is not necessary to provide gaps 18 and 19 such as those between the first shroud 10 and the second shroud 15. Therefore, in addition to the effects of the work vehicle 1 according to the first embodiment, the work vehicle 1a according to the second embodiment can further increase the air volume of the cooling air passing through the heat exchanger 7 and can further improve the cooling efficiency.
