[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The components of the embodiments described below can be combined as appropriate. In addition, some components may not be used.
[0010] (Embodiment) <Work machinery> Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the hydraulic excavator according to the embodiment, as seen from the front left. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the hydraulic excavator according to the embodiment, as seen from the rear right. In this embodiment, the work machine is a battery-powered hydraulic excavator (hereinafter referred to as "hydraulic excavator") 1. The hydraulic excavator 1 is an electrically driven hydraulic excavator powered by a battery (not shown) housed in a battery case 30 (see Fig. 3), which is an electricity storage device.
[0011] In the following description, the side of the hydraulic excavator 1 on which the work implement 12 is arranged is the front, and the side opposite the front is the rear. In the embodiment, left and right refer to left and right relative to the front. The left and right direction is the width direction of the vehicle body 10 of the hydraulic excavator 1. The upper side is the side that faces the vehicle body 10 and is perpendicular to the plane (ground plane) that contacts the pair of left and right tracks 18. The lower side is the side opposite the upper side. An axis that faces the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle body 10 and passes through the center of the vehicle body 10 in the width direction is called the fore-and-aft axis (central axis), and an axis that is perpendicular to the central axis, parallel to the installation plane, and faces the vehicle width direction of the vehicle body 10 is called the lateral axis. An axis that faces the up-and-down direction of the vehicle body 10 is called the vertical axis. The vertical axis is perpendicular to both the central axis and the lateral axis. The central axis is the X-axis, the vertical axis is the Y-axis, and the lateral axis is the Z-axis.
[0012] The hydraulic excavator 1 of the embodiment is a so-called micro excavator, which is a small hydraulic excavator with a working machine mass of less than 1 ton.
[0013] The hydraulic excavator 1 includes a vehicle body 10, a work implement 12, a blade 121, an operating unit 13, a driver's seat 14, an exterior cover 15, a floor plate 17, and a pair of left and right tracks 18. The vehicle body 10 has a vehicle body frame 11 (see FIG. 3). The vehicle body frame 11 supports the work implement 12, the blade 121, the operating unit 13, the driver's seat 14, the exterior cover 15, the components inside the exterior cover 15, and the floor plate 17. The tracks 18 are disposed at the left and right ends of the vehicle body 10, respectively.
[0014] The operating unit 13 is disposed in front of the driver's seat 14. The operating unit 13 is made up of various operating levers and the like that the operator uses to operate the hydraulic excavator 1. More specifically, the operating unit 13 is made up of various operating levers and the like that the operator uses to operate the travel of the hydraulic excavator 1 and the work performed by the work implement 12.
[0015] The driver's seat 14 is an operator's seat on which the operator of the hydraulic excavator 1 sits. The driver's seat 14 is disposed in the vehicle body 10 of the hydraulic excavator 1. The driver's seat 14 is supported by a support member 20, which will be described later. The driver's seat 14 is attached above the exterior cover 15. The entire driver's seat 14 is detachable from the exterior cover 15. When the driver's seat 14 is to be removed, the driver's seat 14 is lifted upward relative to the exterior cover 15, with the engagement between a locking portion 233, which will be described later, and a hook member provided below the driver's seat 14 released. When the entire driver's seat 14 is removed in this way, the components below the driver's seat 14 are exposed from an opening S1 in the upper end portion 15a of the exterior cover 15.
[0016] The exterior cover 15 has a box shape with openings at the bottom, top, and rear. The exterior cover 15 is disposed to cover the components disposed below the operator's seat 14. The exterior cover 15 houses the battery case 30 and the like inside. The exterior cover 15 is disposed on the vehicle body 10 of the hydraulic excavator 1. The exterior cover 15 is disposed above the vehicle body frame 11 of the hydraulic excavator 1. The lower opening of the exterior cover 15 is covered by the vehicle body frame 11. The operator's seat 14 is detachably attached to an opening S1 above the exterior cover 15. A rear cover 16 is openably and closably attached to an opening S2 at the rear of the exterior cover 15. The exterior cover 15 has a rectangular outer shape that is approximately 10 cm or less larger than the perimeter of the operator's seat 14 when viewed in the vertical direction. In the embodiment, the exterior cover 15 has, for example, a length in the left-right direction and a length in the front-rear direction of approximately several tens of centimeters and a height in the vertical direction of approximately several tens of centimeters.
[0017] The rear cover 16 can be opened and closed by rotating about an opening / closing axis AX9. The opening / closing axis AX9 of the rear cover 16 is disposed at the rear right of the vehicle body 10, in a direction slightly inclined with respect to the vertical and horizontal directions. In the closed state, the rear cover 16 closes the rear opening S2 of the exterior cover 15. The lower end of the rear cover 16 is located at approximately the same height as the floor plate 17.
[0018] The rear cover 16 opens from left to right about an opening / closing axis AX9 located on the rear right side of the exterior cover 15. The rear cover 16 rotates approximately 90 degrees about the opening / closing axis AX9. When the rear cover 16 is in the open state, the handle of the battery housed in the battery case 30 is exposed, making it possible to attach and detach the battery housed in the battery case 30.
[0019] The floor plate 17 is a flat surface on which the operator places his / her feet. The floor plate 17 is disposed on the vehicle body 10 of the hydraulic excavator 1. The floor plate 17 is located in front of and below the driver's seat 14 and behind and below the operating unit 13. The floor plate 17 is disposed above the vehicle body frame 11.

[0059] In the embodiment, the discharge pipe 51, the discharge pipe 52, and the return pipe 53 can be attached to the pipe member 21 of the support member 20 that supports the exterior cover 15 via a stepped pipe bracket 45. According to the embodiment, it is possible to prevent the positions of the discharge pipe 51, the discharge pipe 52, and the return pipe 53 from shifting. According to the embodiment, in the small hydraulic excavator 1, it is possible to appropriately arrange various components in the limited space below the operator's seat.
[0060] In the embodiment, the lower step portion 451e of the piping bracket 45 can be appropriately fixed to the first main body portion 211 of the pipe member 21 of the support member 20.
[0061] In the embodiment, the return pipe holding portion 452 of the upper stage portion 451a of the piping bracket 45 allows the return pipe 53 to be arranged along the second main body portion 212 extending rearward from the upper end portion of the first main body portion 211 via the bent portion 213. According to the embodiment, in the small hydraulic excavator 1, various components can be appropriately arranged in the limited space below the operator's seat.
[0062] In the embodiment, the middle portion 451c of the piping bracket 45 can be disposed to the right of the bent portion 213.
[0063] According to the embodiment, the discharge pipes 51 and 52 are held in the discharge pipe holding portion 453, and the electric wiring 61 is held in the electric wiring holding portion 454, so that the hydraulic pipes and the electric wiring 61 can be routed separately to the left and right in the space below the driver's seat. According to the embodiment, it is possible to prevent the hydraulic pipes and the electric wiring from being mixed in the limited space below the driver's seat 14. [Explanation of symbols]
