Electric work vehicle
An electric work vehicle includes a battery, a motor positioned under the battery and drivable on electric power supplied by the battery, a travel device drivable by the motor, an inverter positioned under the battery and forward of the motor to convert direct-current electric power from the battery into alternating-current electric power and supply the alternating-current electric power to the motor, and a transmission positioned backward of the battery to transmit a driving force of the motor to the travel device, wherein the motor and the inverter are arranged in a front-back direction of a machine body.
1. An electric work vehicle, comprising:
a battery;
a motor positioned under the battery and drivable on electric power supplied by the battery;
a travel device drivable by the motor;
an inverter positioned under the battery and forward of the motor to convert direct-current electric power from the battery into alternating-current electric power and supply the alternating-current electric power to the motor; and
a transmission positioned backward of a rear end of the battery to transmit a driving force of the motor to the travel device; wherein
the motor and the inverter are arranged in a front-back direction of a machine body.
2. The electric work vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a left main frame and a right main frame both extending in the front-back direction of the machine body; wherein
the inverter is supported by the left main frame and the right main frame; and
the motor is between the left main frame and the right main frame.
3. The electric work vehicle according to claim 2 , further comprising:
a radiator; and
a water pump positioned forward of the motor and below the inverter to force cooling water to pass through the radiator.
4. The electric work vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a left main frame and a right main frame both extending in the front-back direction of the machine body; wherein
the inverter is supported by the left main frame and the right main frame; and
the inverter extends farther leftward than a left end of the left main frame and farther rightward than a right end of the right main frame.
5. The electric work vehicle according to claim 4 , further comprising:
an inverter support between the inverter and the main frames; wherein
the inverter support extends farther leftward than the left end of the left main frame and farther rightward than the right end of the right main frame; and
the battery is supported by the inverter support with a left battery support frame and a right battery support frame in-between, the left battery support frame and the right battery support frame standing on the inverter support.
6. The electric work vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising a partition plate between the battery and the inverter.
7. The electric work vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a radiator forward of the battery; and
a cooling fan positioned forward of the battery to cool the radiator; wherein
the cooling fan extends in the up-down direction of the machine body to face both the battery and the inverter and sends cooling air backward.
