Construction machine
A construction machine includes: a cover that covers an engine and a radiator; a radiator fan that is arranged at the rear of a vehicle body frame and discharges exhaust gas toward the rear of the vehicle body frame from the inner space of the cover; an injection device that injects a reducing agent into exhaust gas of the engine; a tank housing section that is arranged at one side of the vehicle body frame, includes an introduction section for introducing outside air, and houses a tank for storing the reducing agent injected by the injection device; and a connection section that is arranged in either the cover or the vehicle body frame and in the tank housing section, connects the inner space of the tank housing section and the inner space of the cover, and allows the outside air and the pipe to pass therethrough, the outside air having been introduced from the introduction section by the suction pressure of the radiator fan, the pipe supplying the reducing agent to the injection device.
1. A construction machine, comprising:
a vehicle body frame;
an engine that is mounted on the vehicle body frame;
a radiator that is mounted in a chamber at the rear of the vehicle body frame;
a bulkhead that separates the engine and the radiator;
a cover that covers the engine and the radiator;
a radiator fan that is arranged at the rear of the vehicle body frame and discharges exhaust gas toward the rear of the vehicle body frame from the inner space of the cover;
an injection device that injects a reducing agent into exhaust gas of the engine;
a tank housing section that is arranged laterally adjacent to the chamber, includes an introduction section for introducing outside air, and houses a tank for storing the reducing agent injected by the injection device; and
a connection section that is arranged in either the cover or the vehicle body frame and in the tank housing section, connects the inner space of the tank housing section and the inner space of the cover, and allows the outside air and a pipe to pass therethrough, the outside air having been introduced from the introduction section by the suction pressure of the radiator fan, the pipe supplying the reducing agent to the injection device.
2. The construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein
the connection section that is arranged in either the cover or the vehicle body frame is arranged closer to the radiator than the bulkhead.
3. The construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein
the tank housing section is arranged in one side of the vehicle body frame and closer to the radiator than the bulkhead.
4. The construction machine according to claim 2 , wherein
the tank housing section is arranged in one side of the vehicle body frame and closer to the radiator than the bulkhead.
5. The construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein
the introduction section is at least one of a gap arranged in an opening/closing section of the tank housing section, a slit of the tank housing section, and a water drain hole of the tank housing section.
6. The construction machine according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a counterweight that is arranged at the rear of the vehicle body frame, wherein
the counterweight includes a main weight section, a side surface protection section that protrudes to the width direction of the vehicle body frame beyond the tank housing section, and a bottom surface protection section that protrudes to the downward direction of the vehicle body frame beyond the tank housing section.
7. The construction machine according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a reducing agent supply port that is arranged on a side surface of the vehicle body frame and introduces the reducing agent to the tank; and
a fuel supply port that is arranged at a position at the rear of the vehicle body frame and closer to the tank housing section than the center line of the vehicle body frame, fuel used in the engine being supplied to the fuel supply port.
8. The construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein the tank housing is located between the counterweight and the engine compartment.
9. The construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein the chamber defines an opening that is upstream of the radiator in an air flow direction.
