Construction machine
A striker provided on a rear surface part of an engine cover is mounted on the rear surface part by using nuts from an inner surface. In a counterweight, a bracket is mounted on a top surface of a center weight portion by using bracket bolts, and a latch is mounted on a latch mounting surface of the bracket by using latch bolts. In this state, a hiding member is mounted on a hiding member mounting surface of the bracket by using hiding member bolts. At this time, the hiding member can cover and hide the bracket bolts and the latch bolts. Further, at the time the engine cover is closed, the bolts can be hidden.
1. A construction machine comprising:
an automotive lower traveling structure;
an upper revolving structure swingably mounted on said lower traveling structure; and
a working mechanism mounted on said upper revolving structure and capable of tilting up and down,
wherein said upper revolving structure comprises:
a revolving frame forming a support structure;
a counterweight located in a rear side of said revolving frame to act as a weight balance to said working mechanism;
a prime mover positioned in a front side of said counterweight and mounted on said revolving frame to drive a hydraulic pump;
a prime mover cover including a top surface part covering said prime mover from above and a rear surface part hanging down from a rear end of said top surface part configured to make contact with a top surface of said counterweight; and
a lock device for locking/unlocking said prime mover cover to said counterweight in a state where said prime mover cover is closed,
wherein said top surface of said counterweight makes contact with said rear surface part of said prime mover cover in the state where the prime mover cover is closed,
wherein said lock device comprises:
a striker disposed in said rear surface part of said prime mover cover;
a bracket disposed on said top surface of said counterweight, said bracket including a rear side having a latch mounting surface and a top side having a hiding member mounting surface;
a latch mounted on said latch mounting surface of said bracket using a latch fixing tool, said latch is configured to engage with said striker; and
a hiding member mounted on said hiding member mounting surface of said bracket from an upper side of said counterweight using a hiding member fixing tool, said hiding member covers said latch fixing tool,
wherein said hiding member fixing tool is hidden from an outside view, inside of said prime mover cover when said prime mover cover is closed, and
wherein said striker and said latch engage each other outside of said prime mover cover when said prime mover cover is closed.
2. The construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein said bracket is mounted to said top surface of said counterweight using a bracket fixing tool, and said hiding member covers said bracket fixing tool together with said latch fixing tool.
3. The construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein at the time of closing said prime mover cover, a lower end portion of said rear surface part makes contact with a top surface of said hiding member, and
wherein said hiding member fixing tool is arranged closer to the inside of said rear surface part than a contact position between said lower end portion of said rear surface part and said top surface of said hiding member.
4. The construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein said rear surface part in said prime mover cover is notched at a lower end side in a position corresponding to said lock device, thereby forming a notched portion in said rear surface part, in which said hiding member is fitted at the time of closing said prime mover cover, and
wherein said rear surface part of said prime mover cover is recessed to a side of said prime mover in a position corresponding to said notched portion, thereby forming a lock device-accommodating recessed portion in said rear surface part for accommodating said lock device.
5. The construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein said counterweight comprises:
a center weight portion positioned in the center of said counterweight in said left-right direction;
a left weight portion positioned in the left side of said center weight portion having a height dimension lower than that of said center weight portion; and
a right weight portion positioned in the right side of said center weight portion having a height dimension lower than that of said center weight portion,
wherein said rear surface part of said prime mover cover is configured to contact said center weight portion, and
wherein said bracket is disposed on said top surface of said center weight portion.
6. The construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein said striker is mounted to said rear surface part of said prime mover cover from said inside of said rear surface part by using a striker fixing tool.
7. A construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein said hiding member fixing tool includes a bolt fixed through said hiding member to said bracket.
