Abstract

A work machine provided with an exhaust gas purifying device includes a selective catalytic reducing device that performs treatment on exhaust gas of an engine, and a reducing agent injection device that injects a reducing agent into exhaust gas to be supplied to the selective catalytic reducing device. The work machine is provided with a housing that delimits an engine room accommodating the engine and the exhaust gas purifying device. The housing includes a top board that covers the engine room above the engine, and an exhaust duct that is provided in the top board and discharges the air in the engine room to the outside of the engine room. A part of a reducing agent supply pipe for guiding the reducing agent to the reducing agent injection device is disposed in the exhaust duct in a position above the reducing agent injection device.

Claims (16)

1. A work machine comprising:

an exhaust gas purifying device which includes:

a selective catalytic reducing device that performs treatment on exhaust gas of an engine, and

a reducing agent injection device that injects a reducing agent into exhaust gas to be supplied to the selective catalytic reducing device; and

a housing that delimits an engine room accommodating the engine and the exhaust gas purifying device,

wherein:

the housing includes a top board that covers the engine room above the engine, and an exhaust duct that is provided in the top board and discharges air in the engine room to outside of the engine room,

the exhaust duct includes an opening cover that covers an upper side of an opening in the top board and is disposed opposing to an upper surface of the top board with a clearance therebetween, and a support member that supports the opening cover, and

a part of a reducing agent supply pipe for guiding the reducing agent to the reducing agent injection device is disposed in the exhaust duct in a position above the reducing agent injection device and above the upper surface of the top board.

2. The work machine according to claim 1 , wherein a part of cooling water supply pipe that guides cooling water of the engine to the reducing agent injection device is disposed in the exhaust duct in a position above the reducing agent injection device.

3. The work machine according to claim 2 , wherein

the exhaust duct is located immediately above the reducing agent injection device, and

an area is disposed between the reducing agent injection device and the exhaust duct, the area extending from respective connection portions of the reducing agent injection device with the reducing agent supply pipe and the cooling water supply pipe to a top portion.

4. The work machine according to claim 2 , wherein

the cooling water supply pipe includes a hose and a reservoir portion disposed in the hose and having a larger cross sectional area of a flow passage than a cross sectional area of a flow passage of the hose, and

the reservoir portion is disposed in the exhaust duct.
