Cooling structure of operating machine and operating machine
A cooling structure of an operating machine, such as a wheel loader, which structure cools an engine of the operating machine includes: a cover (such as a rear cover) forming a part of an outer surface of a vehicle body of the operating machine and including a large number of ventilation opening portions; a radiator provided at the vehicle body so as to be opposed to the cover; and a cooling fan arranged between the cover and the radiator and close to the cover with an interval corresponding to a size of the ventilation opening portion and provided so as not to be turnable relative to the vehicle body.
1. A cooling structure of an operating machine, the cooling structure cooling an engine of the operating machine,
the cooling structure comprising:
a rear upright cover forming a part of an outer surface of a vehicle body of the operating machine and including a large number of ventilation opening portions;
a radiator provided at the vehicle body so as to be opposed to the cover; and
a cooling fan arranged between the cover and the radiator and close to the cover with an interval corresponding to a size of the ventilation opening portion and provided so as not to be turnable relative to the vehicle body, wherein
the cover includes
a lower cover that is a fixed member fixed to the vehicle body and
an upper cover that is a movable member configured to be movable relative to the vehicle body,
the lower cover includes
a pair of side portions and
a middle portion arranged between the pair of side portions and closer to the cooling fan than the pair of side portions, the middle portion including an upper end edge formed higher than upper end edges of the pair of side portions, and
at least one sensing opening portion is provided at an upper portion of the middle portion of the lower cover, the at least one sensing opening portion being used when a rotational speed measuring unit measures a rotational speed of the cooling fan with the cover closed.
2. An operating machine comprising:
a vehicle body;
an engine mounted on the vehicle body; and
the cooling structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the cover is a rear cover covering a rear portion of the vehicle body.
