Abstract

An oxidation catalyst device is placed so that a central axis of the oxidation catalyst device may be oriented along a right and left direction of a work vehicle; a reducing agent injection device is placed so that a central axis of the reducing agent injection device may be oriented along a front and rear direction of the work vehicle; and a selective catalytic reduction device is placed so that a central axis of the selective catalytic reduction device may be oriented along the front and rear direction of the work vehicle, in which the oxidation catalyst device, the reducing agent injection device, and the selective catalytic reduction device are arranged so as to have a relationship that the central axes thereof become the same in height, and the central axis of the selective catalytic reduction device is placed so as to pass through the oxidation catalyst device.

Claims (22)

1. A work vehicle having an engine compartment accommodating an engine and an exhaust gas purifying device for purifying exhaust gas of the engine in an engine compartment, the work vehicle having a right to left direction, a front to rear direction, a top to bottom direction and a central axis along the front to rear direction;

a cooler compartment partitioned from the engine compartment by a partition wall,

wherein the exhaust gas purifying device is placed above the engine, and comprises a cylindrical oxidation catalyst device, a cylindrical reducing agent injection device, and a cylindrical selective catalytic reduction device,

wherein a reducing agent tank that stores a reducing agent to be supplied to the reducing agent injection device via a reducing agent supply piping is disposed in the cooler compartment,

wherein the oxidation catalyst device is positioned with a central axis of the oxidation catalyst device oriented along the right to left direction of the work vehicle and having a center point along the right to left direction,

wherein the reducing agent injection device is positioned with a central axis of the reducing agent injection device oriented along the front to rear direction of the work vehicle,

wherein the selective catalytic reduction device is positioned with a central axis of the selective catalytic reduction device oriented along the front to rear direction of the work vehicle,

wherein the oxidation catalyst device, the reducing agent injection device, and the selective catalytic reduction device are arranged so as to have a relationship that the central axes thereof have heights along the top to bottom direction of the work vehicle that are the same,

wherein the central axis of the selective catalytic reduction device and the central axis of the oxidation catalyst device are orthogonal to each other,

wherein the central axis of the selective catalytic reduction device is positioned to pass through the oxidation catalyst device,

wherein the selective catalytic reduction device is positioned to have the central axis of the selective catalytic reduction device is located on one side of the work vehicle away, in the right to left direction, from the central axis along the front to rear direction of the work vehicle, and

wherein the oxidation catalyst device is positioned to have the center point of the oxidation catalyst device is located on one side of the work vehicle away from the central axis.

2. The work vehicle according to claim 1 ,

further comprising a supporting structure body for supporting the selective catalytic reduction device and the oxidation catalyst device,

wherein the supporting structure body has a first arc-shaped concave part that is along an outline shape of the oxidation catalyst device and a second arc-shaped concave part that is along an outline shape of the selective catalytic reduction device,

wherein the oxidation catalyst device is supported by the first concave part, and

wherein the selective catalytic reduction device is supported by the second concave part.

3. The work vehicle according to claim 2 ,

further comprising a front side frame for supporting a front end of a top board of the engine compartment and a rear side part for supporting a rear end of the top board,

wherein the supporting structure body is supported by the front side frame and the rear side frame.

4. The work vehicle according to claim 2 ,

wherein the supporting structure body has one pair of transverse frames that suspend respective both ends of the first concave parts that are provided to make one pair and one pair of vertical frames that suspend respective both ends of the second concave parts that are provided to make one pair.
