Abstract

A first accommodating case ( 13 ) which is located more forward than a fuel tank ( 12 ) and is small in height dimension (H 1 ) of an upper surface ( 13 E) is provided on the right side of a revolving frame ( 5 ). A second accommodating case ( 16 ) the position of an upper surface ( 16 E) of which is higher than the upper surface ( 13 E) of the first accommodating case ( 13 ) and is lower than an upper surface plate ( 12 E) of the fuel tank ( 12 ) is provided on the rear side of the upper surface ( 13 E) of this first accommodating case ( 13 ). Moreover, a reducing agent tank ( 20 ) is provided in a tank accommodating space ( 15 ) in the first accommodating case ( 13 ) and articles such as a tool box ( 23 ) and the like are accommodated in an article accommodating space ( 17 ) in the second accommodating case ( 16 ).

Claims (33)

1. A construction machine comprising:

an automotive lower traveling structure;

an upper revolving structure which is revolvably loaded on said lower traveling structure; and

a working mechanism which is tiltably provided on the front side of said upper revolving structure at an intermediate position in a left-right direction, wherein:

said upper revolving structure is equipped with a revolving frame located on the front side and provided with mounting brackets adapted to mount said working mechanism to the intermediate position in the left-right direction via a connecting pin, and an oil storage tank a front end of which is located more rearward than said mounting brackets of said revolving frame and which is arranged by being put aside to one side in the left-right direction of said revolving frame,

a first accommodating case which is located more forward than said storage tank and is small in a height dimension of an upper surface is provided on one side in the left-right direction of said revolving frame,

a second accommodating case the position of an upper surface of which is higher than said upper surface of said first accommodating case and lower than an upper surface of said oil storage tank is provided on the rear side of said upper surface of said first accommodating case or between said first accommodating case and said oil storage tank,

an article accommodating space for accommodating articles is defined in one accommodating case of said first accommodating case and said second accommodating case, and

a reducing agent tank which is located in a tank accommodating space and stores a liquid reducing agent is provided in the other accommodating case of said first accommodating case and said second accommodating case.

2. The construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein

said second accommodating case is provided to be mountable/demountable to/from said first accommodating case, and

an inserting/removing space adapted to insert/remove said connecting pin which connects said working mechanism to said mounting brackets is formed by demounting said second accommodating case.

3. The construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein

said revolving frame is provided with an under cover located on the bottom side, and

said tank accommodating space is formed as a space between said upper surface of said first accommodating case and said under cover.

4. The construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein

a water supply port is provided in said reducing agent tank so as to be open toward the front side or upper side, and

an openable/closable cover in said respective accommodating cases is provided on said accommodating case in which said reducing agent tank is provided at a position where said accommodating case covers the water supply port of said reducing agent tank.

5. The construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein

a first cover for opening/closing an opening is provided on said first accommodating case, and

a second cover for opening/closing an opening is provided on said second accommodating case.

6. The construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein

a first cover which is opened/closed using a corner between a front surface and said upper surface as a fulcrum is provided on said first accommodating cover,

a second cover which is opened/closed using said rear side of an upper surface as a fulcrum is provided on said second accommodating case,

a first slip-preventing member is provided on said upper surface of said first accommodating case, and

a second slip-preventing member is provided on an upper surface of said second cover on said second accommodating case.

7. The construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein

said second accommodating case is arranged superposing on said upper surface of said first accommodating case,

said tank accommodating space is provided in said first accommodating case located on the lower side, and

said reducing agent tank is accommodated in the tank accommodating space.

8. The construction machine according to claim 7 , wherein

a reducing agent supply pump for supplying a liquid reducing agent in said reducing agent tank to an exhaust gas purifying device is provided in said first accommodating case, and

said reducing agent supply pump is arranged between a rear surface of said reducing agent tank and a rear surface of said first accommodating case.
