Abstract

There is provided a piping structure of a front work machine which prevents an increase in total with of the front work machine caused by hydraulic piping extended from the main machine side, and enables the piping following a structure of the front work machine turning vertically, by which a burden on the hydraulic piping accompanying the turning of the front work machine can be reduced to improve the durability.

Claims (12)

1. A piping structure of a front work machine, wherein said piping structure of said front work machine is mounted on a main machine through turnably-supporting parts on both right and left sides of a bonnet provided in a front portion of the main machine, or a turnably-supporting part on one side thereof, said piping structuring comprising:

a bucket provided in a front end portion thereof,

a lift arm movably supported by said turnably-supporting part,

a lift cylinder movably supported by said turnably-supporting part, and arranged on one vertical side of said lift arm to move up and down the lift arm with respect to said turnably-supporting part,

a bucket cylinder movably supported by said turnably-supporting part, and arranged on another vertical side of said lift arm to turn said bucket with respect to said lift arm, and

a hole part through which hydraulic piping passes from one side of said lift arm to another side of said lift arm, where said hole part is provided in a portion of said lift arm within a region above said lift cylinder and below said bucket cylinder so as to be disposed between said lift cylinder and said bucket cylinder.

2. The piping structure of the front work machine according to claim 1 , wherein said turnably-supporting part is provided with an opening part that leads the hydraulic piping extended from the main machine side to said hole part.

3. The piping structure of the front work machine according to claim 2 , wherein a clamp part that fixes the hydraulic piping derived from said opening part in the vicinity of a turning supporting point of the front work machine with respect to said turnably-supporting part is provided.

4. The piping structure of the front work machine according to claim 1 , wherein said hole part is provided with a joining part that joins the hydraulic piping extended from the main machine side with hydraulic piping arranged on the front work machine side.

5. The piping structure of the front work machine according to claim 4 , wherein a joining position in said joining part is oriented laterally outside of the front work machine.

6. The piping structure of the front work machine according to claim 2 , wherein said hole part is provided with a joining part that joins the hydraulic piping extended from the main machine side with hydraulic piping arranged on the front work machine side.

7. The piping structure of the front work machine according to claim 3 , wherein said hole part is provided with a joining part that joins the hydraulic piping extended from the main machine side with hydraulic piping arranged on the front work machine side.
