Abstract

A working vehicle includes an engine mounted in a front portion of a travelling vehicle, a post-processing device that is disposed above the engine and purifies exhaust gas from the engine, and a cooling fan for cooling the engine. The cooling fan is disposed on a front surface side of the engine. A fan shroud that covers the cooling fan is fixed to the travelling vehicle. A hood shield plate that covers a rear side of the engine is disposed on a rear surface of a hood. The hood shield plate is fixed to the travelling vehicle. A pair of left and right beam frames each bridge between respective upper portions of the fan shroud and the hood shield plate.

Claims (29)

1. A working vehicle comprising:

an engine mounted in a front portion of a travelling vehicle;

a post-processing device that is disposed above the engine and configured to purify exhaust gas from the engine;

a cooling fan configured to cool the engine,

wherein the cooling fan is disposed on a front surface side of the engine,

wherein a fan shroud that covers the cooling fan is fixed to the travelling vehicle, and

wherein a hood covers the cooling fan, the engine, and the post-processing device

a first column frame and a second column frame standing on an upper surface of the travelling vehicle;

a hood shield plate, covering a rear side of the engine, disposed on a rear surface of the hood and coupled to the first and second column frames,

wherein the hood shield plate is fixed to the travelling vehicle; and

a beam frame wherein the beam frame bridges between respective upper portions of the fan shroud and the hood shield plate, wherein a rear end of the beam frame is coupled to the first column frame via a rear shield surface of the hood shield plate or is coupled to the second column frame via a connection surface of the hood shield plate, and a front end of the beam frame is supported by the fan shroud.

2. The working vehicle according to claim 1 further comprising a heat shield plate having an edge fixed to the beam frame, wherein the heat shield plate is disposed below the hood in such a manner as to cover an upper portion of the post-processing device.

3. The working vehicle according to claim 2 ,

wherein an upper surface side of the hood is inclined to extend diagonally upward from a front side to a rear side, and

wherein the post-processing device is mounted on an upper side of the engine, and is positioned on a rear and inner side of the inclined upper surface side of the hood.

4. The working vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the upper surface of the travelling vehicle is provided on an engine support frame of the travelling vehicle.

5. The working vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the rear shield surface of the hood shield plate is connected to the first column frame such that the hood shield plate is located between the beam frame and the first column frame.

6. The working vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the connection surface of the hood shield plate is connected to second column frame such that the hood shield plate is located between the beam frame and the second column frame.

7. A working vehicle comprising:

an engine mounted in a front portion of a travelling vehicle;

a post-processing device that is disposed above the engine and configured to purify exhaust gas from the engine;

a cooling fan configured to cool the engine,

wherein the cooling fan is disposed on a front surface side of the engine,

wherein a fan shroud that covers the cooling fan is fixed to the travelling vehicle, and

wherein a hood covers the cooling fan, the engine, and the post-processing device;

a first column frame and a second column frame standing on an upper surface of the travelling vehicle;

a hood shield plate, covering a rear side of the engine, disposed on a rear surface of the hood and coupled to the first and second column frames,

wherein the hood shield plate is fixed to the travelling vehicle; and

a first beam frame and a second beam frame each bridging between respective upper portions of the fan shroud and the hood shield plate, wherein a rear end of the first beam frame is coupled to the first column frame via a rear shield surface of the hood shield plate and a rear end of the second beam frame is coupled to the second column frame via a connection surface of the hood shield plate, and a front end of each of the first and second beam frames is supported by the fan shroud.
