Abstract

To realize a mounting structure on the rear side of the seat of the operator station on which the seat and equipment for operation are installed in the swing table of a swing-type operation machine, the mounting structure being simple in construction yet imparted with a sufficiently large strength without increasing the size of the swing table or without utilizing the counter weight. The swing-type operation machine comprises an under carriage, a swing table mounted on the under carriage so as to freely swing thereon, an operator station mounted on the swing table and on which a seat and equipment for operation are installed, and a heat exchanger-mounting body supporting a heat exchanger for cooling the engine that is positioned at the back of the seat of the operator station and supporting the rear part of the seat of the operator station.

Claims (30)

1. A swing-type operation machine, comprising:

an under carriage;

a swing table mounted on the under carriage so as to freely swing thereon;

an operator station mounted on the swing table and on which a seat and an equipment for operation are installed;

a heat exchanger-mounting body supporting a heat exchanger for cooling the engine that is positioned at a back of the seat of the operator station and supporting a rear part of the seat of the operator station; and

a support body mounted on the swing table to support the rear part of the seat of the operator station,

wherein the heat exchanger-mounting body is formed to surround the heat exchanger,

wherein the operator station is supported on an upper part of the gate-shaped heat exchanger-mounting body,

wherein the support body further comprises a coupling plate, and

wherein the heat exchanger-mounting body further comprises a rack portion that supports the coupling plate,

wherein the rack portion is located on the upper part of the heat exchanger-mounting body to support the operator station.

wherein the support body further comprises:

a base plate mounted on the swing table; and

a support pole connected to the base plate at a first end, and

wherein the coupling plate is connected to a second end of the support pole opposite the first end.

2. A swing-type operation machine, comprising:

an under carriage;

a swing table mounted on the under carriage;

an operator station mounted on the swing table;

a heat exchanger-mounting body supporting a heat exchanger that is located at a back of the operator station, the heat exchanger-mounting body supporting a first end of the operator station; and

a support body mounted on the swing table to support a second end of the operator station,

wherein the heat exchanger-mounting body is formed to surround the heat exchanger,

wherein the operator station is supported on an upper part of the gate-shaped heat exchanger-mounting body,

wherein the support body further comprises a coupling plate,

wherein the heat exchanger-mounting body further comprises a rack portion that supports the coupling plate,

wherein the rack portion is located on the upper part of the heat exchanger-mounting body to support the operator station,

wherein the support body further comprises:

a base plate mounted on the swing table; and

a support pole connected to the base plate at a first end, and

wherein the coupling plate is connected to a second end of the support pole opposite the first end.
