Abstract

Boom for a working machine includes a forked base support pivotally supported by a machine body. A base support of the boom has a hose introduction hole for inserting a hydraulic hose from the machine body into the boom main body. A swelling part extends upward from a fore end side toward a forked side so as to correspond to an inner surface side of an upper wall and skirt parts extend downward from a lateral center of a top part of the swelling part toward upper surfaces of left and right leg parts.

Claims (19)

1. A boom for a working machine, the boom comprising:

a forked base support of which a base end side is pivotally supported by a machine body and a fore end side is connected with a boom main body,

the base support comprises:

a body part that has a hose introduction hole for inserting a hydraulic hose from the machine body into the boom main body; and

a left and right pair of leg parts that are extended in a forked shape from the body part toward the machine body, and swingably pivotally supported on a machine body side,

the body part includes:

sidewalls that are connected with the left and right leg parts;

an upper wall that connects between upper parts of the left and right sidewalls; and

a lower wall that connects between lower parts of the left and right sidewalls, and

a part surrounded by the left and right sidewalls, the upper wall, and the lower wall is configured as the hose introduction hole, and

the upper wall of the body part includes:

an inner surface on a first side that faces the lower wall; and

an outer surface on a second side that faces opposite the inner surface;

on the first side of the upper wall of the body part, an enlarged opening part that extends in an upward direction away from the lower wall from the fore end side toward a forked side is formed, and on the second side of the upper wall of the body part, a swelling part that extends in the upward direction away from the lower wall from the fore end side toward the forked side so as to correspond to the first side of the upper wall, and skirt parts that separate in a forked shape and extend downward from a lateral center of a top part of the swelling part toward upper surfaces of the left and right leg parts are formed.

2. The boom for a working machine, according to claim 1 , wherein

inner surfaces of the left and right sidewalls of the body part are swelled inward to form the sidewalls thicker.

3. The boom for a working machine, according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein

the sidewalls and the left and right leg parts include: thin wall parts formed by reducing thicknesses of the sidewalls and the leg parts on outer lateral surface sides; and on upper sides of the sidewalls and the left and right leg parts, upper thick wall parts having a larger thickness than the thin wall parts, and

a vertical width of the upper thick wall parts is increased from the left and right leg parts toward the sidewalls of the body part.
