The present invention relates to a construction machine, such as a hydraulic excavator or a wheel loader, and more particularly to a construction machine provided with an electric device, such as an electric motor for a revolving device or an electric motor for a hydraulic pump.
In general, a hydraulic excavator known as a typical example of a construction machine has a vehicle body that is configured of an automotive lower traveling structure, and an upper revolving structure that is rotatably mounted on the lower traveling structure through revolving wheels. A working mechanism is provided in a front portion side of the upper revolving structure to perform an excavating operation or the like.
Here, a revolving device is provided between the lower traveling structure and the upper revolving structure to revolve the upper revolving structure. A so-called hybrid type revolving device is proposed as a revolving motor forming this revolving device, which is configured to use both a hydraulic motor and an electric motor (electric device). On the other hand, a hybrid type hydraulic pump, which is driven by an engine and by an electric motor, is also proposed as a hydraulic pump that is used in a construction machine.
Incidentally, an electrical equipment that accommodates an electrical component such as an inverter circuit or an electrical equipment that accommodates an electrical component such as a capacitor is connected to the electric motor that is used in the revolving motor through a cable. Here, the inverter circuit converts a drive current that is supplied to the electric motor between a direct current and an alternate current, and the capacitor reserves electrical energy for driving the electric motor. In this case, a cable-side connector is provided in an end portion of the cable that is connected to the electric motor, and this cable-side connector is connected to an equipment-side connector that is provided in the electrical equipment. Therefore, the electrical component that is accommodated in the electrical equipment and the electric motor can be connected electrically.
Incidentally, in the hydraulic excavator, the vehicle body strongly vibrates at an excavating operation or the like. Therefore, even if the cable-side connector and the equipment-side connector as described above are connected, the vibration is transmitted from the cable to connecting terminals (contact) that are connected electrically to the cable. As a result, corrosion (fretting corrosion) is generated on contact surfaces of the connecting terminals of each other due to micro sliding, creating a possibility that defects such as contact failure or burnout occur.
On the other hand, in the hybrid type excavator, it is usually required to protect the electrical equipment, such as a controller, an electric power storage device and the like that are mounted on the vehicle body, from the vibration. Therefore, the hybrid type excavator adopts the configuration of supporting these kinds of electrical equipment to the vehicle body through vibration absorption mounts (Patent Document 1).
However, in a case where the electrical equipment is mounted to the vehicle body through the vibration absorption member for protecting the electrical equipment from the vibration, the vibration that is transmitted to the electric motor mounted directly to the vehicle body differs from the vibration that is transmitted to the electrical equipment. Therefore, an excessive external force due to a difference between the vibration of the electric motor and the vibration of the electrical equipment acts on the connecting terminal of the cable-side connecter that is provided in the cable extending from the electric motor. As a result, the contact failure tends to be easily generated between the connecting terminal of the cable-side connector and the connecting terminal of the equipment-side connector.
In contrast, there is proposed a connector configured in such a manner that a plurality of projections are provided in a connector body into which a cable is inserted, wherein the cable is securely fixed to the connector body by a frictional force that is generated between this projection and the cable. In this way, in the connector of fixing the cable to the connector body, the vibration that is transmitted to the connecting terminal through the cable can be suppressed. As a result, it is possible to reduce the contact failure between the connecting terminal of the cable-side connector and the connecting terminal of the equipment-side connector (Patent Document 2).
However, the cable for power that is connected to the electric motor mounted on the hydraulic excavator has a large diameter and a high rigidity because a large current flows therein. Therefore, when the hydraulic excavator generates vibrations, this vibration tends to be easily transmitted to the connecting terminal of the cable-side connector through the cable. As a result, there is a problem that the defect such as the contact failure or the burnout occurs between the connecting terminal of the cable-side connector and the connecting terminal of the equipment-side connector.
On the other hand, in a case where an outer shape of the connector is large sized corresponding to a large-diameter cable in order to increase strength of the connector to the vibration, the occupied space of the connector increases. As a result, there is a problem that workability at the time of laying the cable between the electric motor and the electrical equipment is deteriorated.
In view of the foregoing problem in the conventional art, it is an object of the present invention to provide a construction machine that can establish a secure connection between a cable-side connector that is provided in a cable extending from an electric device mounted on a vehicle body and an equipment-side connector that is provided in electrical equipment supported through a vibration absorption member, and can prevent occurrence of the aforementioned defect.
(1) The present invention for solving the aforementioned problem is applied to a construction machine comprising: an automotive vehicle body; an electric device that is mounted on the vehicle body; an electrical equipment that accommodates an electrical component connected to the electric device in a box and is supported on the vehicle body by using a vibration absorption member; and a cable that establishes a connection between the electric device and the electrical equipment.
The configuration adopted by the present invention is characterized in that a connector mounting member is provided in the box of the electrical equipment to be positioned in an outer surface side thereof and to project in an outer shape smaller than the box, an equipment-side connector to which a cable-side connector provided in an end portion of the cable at a side of the electrical equipment is connected is provided in the connector mounting member, and a clamp member is provided on the outer surface of the box in the electrical equipment to be positioned near the connector mounting member for fixing the end portion of the cable at the side of the electrical equipment.
With this arrangement, in a state of mounting the equipment-side connector to the connector mounting member provided in the box of the electrical equipment and connecting the cable-side connector that is provided in the cable extending from the electric device to the equipment-side connector, the end portion of the cable at the side of the electrical equipment can be fixed to the box by using the clamp member. Therefore, since both of the end portion of the cable and the cable-side connector can be fixed to the box in the electrical equipment, the vibration that is transmitted to the cable-side connector from the electrical equipment through the equipment-side connector can be matched with the vibration that is transmitted from the electric device to the cable and the vibration that is generated in the cable.
As a result, also in a case where the vibration that is transmitted to the electric device mounted on the vehicle body differs from the vibration that is transmitted to the electrical equipment supported on the vehicle body through the vibration absorption member, it is possible to suppress an excessive external force to be transmitted to the connecting terminal of the cable-side connector. Therefore, it is possible to suppress generation of fretting corrosion due to micro sliding on contact surfaces of the connecting terminals of each other between the cable-side connector and the equipment-side connector at machine-working to prevent occurrence of the defect such as contact failure or burnout.
Further, since it is possible to suppress the excessive external force due to the vibration to be transmitted to the connecting terminal of the cable-side connector, the cable-side connector and the equipment-side connector can be downsized. As a result, the occupied space of each of these connectors can be made small to enhance the workability at the time of laying the respective cables.
(2) According to the present invention, the box of the electrical equipment is formed of a three-dimensional structure that is surrounded by a top surface, a bottom surface, and side surfaces, the box of the electrical equipment is provided on the vehicle body in a state of directing the bottom surface downward, the connector mounting member is mounted to any of outer surfaces other than the bottom surface of the box, the cable-side connector of the cable is arranged in a remaining portion other than a portion on which the connector mounting member is mounted, among any of the outer surfaces on which the connector mounting member is mounted, and the clamp member is mounted in the remaining portion among any of the outer surfaces on which the connector mounting member is mounted.
With this arrangement, the cable-side connector is only arranged in the remaining portion other than the portion on which the connector mounting member is mounted, and the cable can securely be fixed by using the clamp member that is mounted to the remaining portion.

With this arrangement, the space can be ensured in the front side of the surface, on which the equipment-side connector is provided, in the connector mounting member mounted to the box. Therefore, at the time of connecting the cable-side connector to the equipment-side connector of the connector mounting member, the cable-side connector can be accommodated within the installation plane of the connector mounting member. This configuration can suppress the cable-side connector that is connected to the equipment-side connector to project from the installation plane of the connector mounting member to an outside to prevent interference between the equipment arranged in the periphery of the electrical equipment and the cable-side connector.
Further, the cable-side connector can be connected to the equipment-side connector in the horizontal direction by mounting the equipment-side connector to the surface perpendicular to the installation plane of the connector mounting member among the respective surfaces of the connector mounting member. As a result, it is possible to suppress water components due to rain water, dew condensation or the like to enter into the connecting portion between the cable-side connector and the equipment-side connector through the cable, thus protecting these respective connectors.
(4) According to the present invention, a clamp fixing portion is provided on any of the outer surface, on which the connector mounting member is provided, of the box, and the clamp member is mounted to the clamp fixing portion.

With this arrangement, for example, at the time of performing maintenance or inspection work to the electric device or the electrical equipment, it is possible to prevent an operator from stepping on the connecting portion between the equipment-side connector and the cable-side connector by mistake. Therefore, the equipment-side connector and the cable-side connector can be protected, an inadvertent damage thereof can be prevented, and it is possible to securely connect both for a long period of time.
(6) According to the present invention, the electrical equipment is composed of a first electrical equipment that is connected to the electric device by using a first cable, and a second electrical equipment that is connected to the first electrical equipment by using a second cable, and an inverter circuit is accommodated in the box of the first electrical equipment, and a condenser for reserving electrical energy is accommodated in the box of the second electrical equipment.
With this arrangement, a secure connection between the cable-side connector that is provided in the first cable and the equipment-side connector that is provided in the first electrical equipment can be established, and a secure connection between one cable-side connector that is provided in the second cable and the equipment-side connector that is provided in the first electrical equipment and a secure connection between the other cable-side connector that is provided in the second cable and the equipment-side connector that is provided in the second electrical equipment can be established.
(7) According to the present invention, the vehicle body is provided with a frame for forming a support structure, a cab for defining an operator's room that is provided in a front portion side of the frame, a machine room that is provided in a rear portion side of the frame to accommodate a prime mover required for driving the vehicle body and to be covered with a housing cover, and an accommodation space that is provided in the housing cover together with the machine room, is closed by a floor plate and can accommodate equipment or components, and the floor plate of the accommodation space is removable from the frame, the floor plate and the electrical equipment are in advance assembled through the vibration absorption member to form a single onboard equipment assembly, and the floor plate forming the onboard equipment assembly is mounted to the frame in a position of the accommodation space.
With this arrangement, by mounting the electrical equipment to the floor plate that is configured to be removable from the frame through the vibration adsorption member, the onboard equipment assembly can be formed by using the floor plate which is originally the component member of the frame. Therefore, it is not necessary to use a basis composed of a member different from the frame, and when the floor plate forming part of the onboard equipment assembly is only mounted in the accommodation space after forming the onboard equipment assembly, the electrical equipment can be arranged in the accommodation space quickly and easily.
Further, the electrical equipment is mounted to the floor plate that is originally the component member of the frame to form the onboard equipment assembly, and thereby the onboard equipment assembly can be downsized as quickly as possible. As a result, at the time of mounting or removing the onboard equipment assembly to or from the frame in the position of the accommodation space, a large work space can be secured in the periphery of the onboard equipment assembly to enhance the workability at the time of mounting or removing the mount device to or from the frame.
In addition, by mounting the electrical equipment to the floor plate that is the component member of the frame, the number of components in the onboard equipment assembly can be eliminated as compared to a case of using the basis composed of the member different from the frame. Therefore, the assembly workability of the onboard equipment assembly can be enhanced, and besides, a manufacturing cost of the onboard equipment assembly can be reduced.
(8) According to the present invention, the accommodation space is formed as a utility room that is provided in a rear portion of the cab, is covered with a door cover which can open/close at a side portion, and is closed by the floor plate.

With this arrangement, after the floor plate of the onboard equipment assembly is once placed on the frame, the floor plate is mounted to the frame by using the fastening member, thus making it possible to mount the onboard equipment assembly to the frame. Therefore, since the mounting/removal operation of the onboard equipment assembly to/from the frame can be performed in the upper-lower direction, the workability can be furthermore improved.
(10) According to the present invention, the floor plate-side mounting portion of the vibration absorption member is provided with a rotation restricting member for suppressing the vibration absorption member to rotate to the floor plate by the engagement to the floor plate.
With this arrangement, at the time of inserting the bolt that projects on the floor plate-side mounting portion of the vibration absorption member into the floor plate for fastening, the rotation restricting member that is provided in the floor plate-side mounting portion is engaged to the floor plate, thereby making it possible to suppress the vibration absorption member to rotate to the floor plate. Therefore, even if the frame vibrates at the operating of the construction machine, it is possible to suppress the loosening of the mounting portion between the vibration absorption member and the floor plate, and the electrical equipment can be supported to the floor plate fixed to the frame in a vibration absorption state for a long period of time.
(11) According to the present invention, a rope hanging tool is mounted to the floor plate of the onboard equipment assembly to hang a rope for lifting the onboard equipment assembly.
With this arrangement, by hanging the rope to the rope hanging tool that is mounted on the floor plate, it is possible to lift the onboard equipment assembly by using this rope. Therefore, the onboard equipment assembly as a heavy load can easily be mounted or removed to or from the frame by lifting it using the rope.

It should be noted that the connector mounting member 39 is communicated with an inside of the box 37 through the bottom surface side formed as an opening portion, and the cable is inserted into the box 37 through the opening portion.
In this case, the connector mounting member 39 is arranged on a portion of the top surface 37A of the box 37, which is closer to the rear surface 37D side. Therefore, the front surface 39B of the connector mounting member 39 is positioned to be closer to the rear side (the rear surface 37D side) than the front surface 37C of the box 37. Therefore, the top surface 37A of the box 37 is formed of a mounting portion 37A1 on which the connector mounting member 39 is provided, and a remaining portion 37A2, which is positioned in front of the front surface 39B of the connector mounting member 39, other than the mounting portion 37A1.

It should be noted that the second electrical equipment 42 is configured by connecting a plurality of condensers.
On the other hand, as shown in
Next, a connector mounting member 44 that is provided in the box 43 will be explained. Here, in the present embodiment, a case where the connector mounting member 44 is provided on the top surface 43A of the box 43 is exemplified.

It should be noted that the connector mounting member 44 is communicated with an inside of the box 43 through the bottom surface side formed as an opening portion, and the cable is inserted into the box 43 through this opening portion.
In this case, the connector mounting member 44 is arranged on a portion of the top surface 43A of the box 43 to be closer to the rear surface. Therefore, the front surface 44B of the connector mounting member 44 is positioned to be closer to the rear side than the front surface 43B of the box 43. Therefore, the top surface 43A of the box 43 is formed of a mounting portion 43A1 on which the connector mounting member 44 is provided, and a remaining portion 43A2, which is positioned in front of the front surface 44B of the connector mounting member 44, other than the mounting portion 43A1.
Indicated at 45 is a third equipment-side connector that is provided in the front surface 44B of the connector mounting member 44.

In addition, the cable-side connector 47B and a portion in the vicinity of the cable-side connector 47B of the second cable 47 are accommodated in the top surface 43A (remaining portion 43A2) of the box 43 forming the second electrical equipment 42 as viewed from above.
Therefore, as shown in
Next, as shown in
Indicated at 50 is a first clamp member that is provided in the box 37 of the first electrical equipment 36, and the first clamp member 50 is mounted to a first mounting seat 48. Here, the first clamp member 50 clamps a portion in the vicinity of the cable-side connector 46A of the first cable 46, for example, a cable end portion in which the cable-side connector 46A is provided. Therefore, the first clamp member 50 is fastened to the first mounting seat 48 that is provided on the top surface 37A of the box 37 by using a bolt 50A.
In this way, the cable-side connector 46A is connected to the connector mounting member 39 that is provided on the box 37 of the first electrical equipment 36, and an end portion of the first cable 46 is fixed to the box 37 of the first electrical equipment 36 through the first clamp member 50. Therefore, the vibration that is transmitted to the end portion of the first cable 46 can be matched with the vibration that is transmitted to the cable-side connector 46A. As a result, it is possible to suppress the excessive external force to be transmitted to the connecting terminal of the cable-side connector 46A.
Indicated at 51 is a second clamp member that is provided in the box 37 of the first electrical equipment 36, and the second clamp member 51 is mounted to a second mounting seat 49. Here, the second clamp member 51 clamps a portion in the vicinity of the cable-side connector 47A of the second cable 47, specifically a cable end portion at one side where the cable-side connector 47A is provided. Therefore, the second clamp member 51 is fastened to the second mounting seat 49 that is provided on the top surface 37A of the box 37 by using a bolt 51A.
Indicated at 52 is a third clamp member that is provided in the remaining portion 43A2 of the top surface 43A of the box 43 in the second electrical equipment 42. The third clamp member 52 is provided near the connector mounting member 44 and in front side of the third equipment-side connector 45. Here, the third clamp member 52 clamps a portion in the vicinity of the cable-side connector 47B of the second cable 47, specifically a cable end portion at the other side where the cable-side connector 47B is provided. In this state, the third clamp member 52 is fastened to the third mounting seat (not shown) that is provided on the top surface 43A of the box 43 by using a bolt 52A.
In this way, the cable-side connector 47A is connected to the connector mounting member 39 that is provided on the box 37 of the first electrical equipment 36, and the end portion of the second cable 47 at one side is fixed to the box 37 of the first electrical equipment 36 through the second clamp member 51. Therefore, the vibration that is generated in the second cable 47, the vibration that is transmitted to a part of the second cable 47 and the vibration that is transmitted to the cable-side connector 47A can be matched. On the other hand, the cable-side connector 47B is connected to the connector mounting member 44 that is provided on the box 43 of the second electrical equipment 42, and the end portion of the second cable 47 at the other side is fixed to the box 43 of the second electrical equipment 42 through the third clamp member 52. Therefore, the vibration that is generated in the second cable 47, the vibration that is transmitted to the other end portion of the second cable 47, and the vibration that is transmitted to the cable-side connector 47B can be matched.
As a result, also in a case where the vibration that is transmitted to the first electrical equipment 36 differs from the vibration that is transmitted to the second electrical equipment 42 at the machine-working, it is possible to suppress an excessive external force to be transmitted to the connecting terminal of the cable-side connector 47A or the connecting terminal of the cable-side connector 47B.
Indicated at 53 is a cover that is mounted to the box 43 of the second electrical equipment 42. The cover 53 is formed of a plate body that is bent to have an L-shaped cross section, and is fixed to the box 43 forming the second electrical equipment 42 and the connector mounting member 44 by using a plurality of bolts 53A. The cover 53 covers the third equipment-side connector 45 that is mounted to the connector mounting member 44 and the cable-side connector 47B of the second cable 47 that is connected to the third equipment-side connector 45.
Therefore, at the time of performing maintenance and inspection work to the heat exchanger 15 within the heat exchanger front room 28B, the cover 53 can prevent an operator from inadvertently stepping on the third equipment-side connector 45 or the cable-side connector 47B of the second cable 47.
Indicated at 54 are two hanging bolts as rope hanging tools that are mounted to the mounting surface part 35A of the floor plate 35 (refer to
The hydraulic excavator 1 according to the present embodiment has the configuration as described above and the hydraulic excavator 1 self-travels to a work site by the lower traveling structure 2, revolves the upper revolving structure 3 by the revolving device 30, while performing an excavating operation of earth and sand by using the working mechanism 4.
In this case, the revolving frame 5 largely vibrates at the operating of the hydraulic excavator 1. Therefore, the revolving device 30 that is mounted directly to this revolving frame 5 also largely vibrates together with the revolving frame 5.
On the other hand, the first electrical equipment 36 that is arranged in the utility room 29 is supported to the floor plate 35 for closing the lower side of the utility room 29 through the vibration absorption mount 38. Therefore, the vibration that is transmitted to the first electrical equipment 36 is smaller than the vibration that is transmitted to the revolving device 30. Similarly, the second electrical equipment 42 that is arranged in the heat exchanger front room 28B is also supported to the revolving frame 5 through the vibration absorption mount (not shown). Therefore, the vibration that is transmitted to the second electrical equipment 42 is smaller than the vibration that is transmitted to the revolving device 30. In this way, at the operating of the hydraulic excavator 1, the vibration that is transmitted to the revolving device 30 differs from the vibration that is transmitted to each of the first electrical equipment 36 and the second electrical equipment 42 with each other.
In contrast, in the present embodiment, the connector mounting member 39 is provided to project on the top surface 37A of the box 37 forming the first electrical equipment 36, and the first equipment-side connector 40 and the second equipment-side connector 41 are provided on the front surface 39A of the connector mounting member 39. Similarly, the connector mounting member 44 is projected on the top surface 43A of the box 43 forming the second electrical equipment 42, and the third equipment-side connector 45 is provided on the front surface 44A of the connector mounting member 44.
In addition, at the time of establishing a connection between the electric motor 33 of the revolving device 30 and the first electrical equipment 36 by using the first cable 46, the cable-side connector 46A that is provided in the first cable 46 is connected to the first equipment-side connector 40. Together with it, the cable end portion of the first cable 46 to which the cable-side connector 46A is provided is fixed by the first clamp member 50 that is arranged on the top surface 37A of the box 37.
Thereby, both of the cable end portion of the first cable 46 to which the cable-side connector 46A is provided and the cable-side connector 46A can be fixed to the box 37 in the first electrical equipment 36. Therefore, the vibration that is transmitted to the first cable 46 can be matched with the vibration that is transmitted to the cable-side connector 46A. Accordingly, also in a case where the vibration that is transmitted to the electric motor 33 differs from the vibration that is transmitted to the first electrical equipment 36, it is possible to suppress an excessive external force to be transmitted to the connecting terminal of the cable-side connector 46A. As a result, it is possible to suppress micro sliding generating on contact surfaces of the connecting terminals of each other between the cable-side connector 46A and the first equipment-side connector 40 and it is possible to prevent occurrence of defects such as corrosion (fretting corrosion), contact failure or burnout due to the micro sliding. Therefore, the connection between the electric motor 33 and the first electrical equipment 36 can stably be established by using the first cable 46.
On the other hand, at the time of establishing a connection between the first electrical equipment 36 and the second electrical equipment 42 by using the second cable 47, the cable-side connector 47A that is provided in one end portion of the second cable 47 is connected to the second equipment-side connector 41 that is provided in the connector mounting member 39. Together with it, one end portion of the second cable 47 is fixed by the second clamp member 51 that is arranged on the top surface 37A of the box 37. Further, the cable-side connector 47B that is provided in the other end portion of the second cable 47 is connected to the third equipment-side connector 45 that is provided in the connector mounting member 44. Together with it, the other end portion of the second cable 47 is fixed by the third clamp member 52 that is arranged on the top surface 43A of the box 43.
Thereby, both of the cable end portion at one side of the second cable 47 to which the cable-side connector 47A is provided and the cable-side connector 47A can be fixed to the box 37 in the first electrical equipment 36, and the vibration that is transmitted to the second cable 47 can be matched with the vibration that is transmitted to the cable-side connector 47A. Further, both of the cable end portion at the other side of the second cable 47 to which the cable-side connector 47B is provided and the cable-side connector 47B can be fixed to the box 43 in the second electrical equipment 42. Accordingly, the vibration that is transmitted to the second cable 47 can be matched with the vibration that is transmitted to the cable-side connector 47B.
Accordingly, according to the present embodiment, also in a case where the vibration that is transmitted to the first electrical equipment 36 differs from the vibration that is transmitted to the second electrical equipment 42, it is possible to suppress an excessive external force to be transmitted to the connecting terminals of the cable-side connectors 47A and 47B provided in the second cable 47. As a result, it is possible to suppress micro sliding generating on contact surfaces of the connecting terminals of each other between the cable-side connector 47A and the second equipment-side connector 41 and between the cable-side connector 47B and the third equipment-side connector 45, and it is possible to prevent occurrence of defects such as corrosion (fretting corrosion), contact failure or burnout. Therefore, the connection between the first electrical equipment 36 and the second electrical equipment 42 can stably be established by using the second cable 47.
On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, since it is possible to suppress an excessive external force to be transmitted to the connecting terminal of the cable-side connector 46A that is provided in the first cable 46, the cable-side connector 46A and the first equipment-side connector 40 can be downsized. Similarly, since it is possible to suppress an excessive external force to be transmitted to the connecting terminals of the cable-side connectors 47A and 47B that are provided in the second cable 47, the cable-side connectors 47A and 47B, and the second and third equipment-side connectors 41 and 45 can be downsized.
As a result, these occupied space of the cable-side connectors 46A, 47A and 47B, and the first, second and third equipment-side connectors 40, 41 and 45 can be made small. Therefore, the workability at the time of arranging the first and second cables 46 and 47 between the electric motor 33 and the first electrical equipment 36, and between the first electrical equipment 36 and the second electrical equipment 42 can be improved.
According to the present embodiment, the front surface 39B of the connector mounting member 39 that is provided in the box 37 of the first electrical equipment 36 is positioned to be closer to the rear surface 37D side than the front surface 37C of the box 37. Therefore, the cable-side connector 46A of the first cable 46 that is connected to the first equipment-side connector 40, and the cable-side connector 47A of the second cable 47 that is connected to the second equipment-side connector 41 can be accommodated in the remaining portion 37A2 (front side of the equipment-side connectors 40 and 41) of the top surface 37A of the box 37 other than the mounting portion 37A1 of the connector mounting member 39. On the other hand, the front surface 44B of the connector mounting member 44 that is provided in the box 43 of the second electrical equipment 42 is positioned to be closer to the rear surface side than the front surface 43B of the box 43. Therefore, the cable-side connector 47B of the second cable 47 that is connected to the third equipment-side connector 45 can be accommodated in the remaining portion 43A2 (front side of the equipment-side connector 45) of the top surface 43A of the box 43 other than the mounting portion 43A1 of the connector mounting member 44.
Therefore, it is possible to suppress the cable-side connector 46A of the first cable 46 and the cable-side connector 47A of the second cable 47 to project from the top surface 37A of the box 37 to an outside. On the other hand, in regard to the cable-side connector 47B of the second cable 47, it is possible to suppress the cable-side connector 47B to project from the top surface 43A of the box 43 to an outside. As a result, interference of the respective cable-side connectors 46A, 47A and 47B with equipments arranged in the periphery of the first and second electrical equipments 36 and 42 can securely be prevented.
According to the present embodiment, the connector mounting member 39 of the first electrical equipment 36 is formed as a rectangular three-dimensional structure, and the first and second equipment-side connectors 40 and 41 are mounted to the front surface 39B of the connector mounting member 39. Therefore, the cable-side connector 46A of the first cable 46 can be connected to the first equipment-side connector 40 in a horizontal direction. Similarly, the cable-side connector 47A of the second cable 47 can be connected to the second equipment-side connector 41 in a horizontal direction. On the other hand, the connector mounting member 44 of the second electrical equipment 42 is formed as a rectangular three-dimensional structure to mount the third equipment-side connector 45 to the front surface 44B of the connector mounting member 44. Therefore, the cable-side connector 47B of the second cable 47 can be connected to the third equipment-side connector 45 in a horizontal direction.
As a result, even if water components due to rain water, dew condensation or the like are attached to the first and second cables 46 and 47, it can be suppressed that the water component is sucked into the cable-side connector 46A along the first cable 46 by a difference in atmospheric pressure between an inside and an outside thereof caused by a temperature change. As a result, the water component in an outside air can be prevented from entering into the connecting portion between the cable-side connector 46A and the first equipment-side connector 40. Similarly, the water component in an outside air can be prevented from entering into the connecting portion between the cable-side connector 47A and the second equipment-side connector 41 and the connecting portion between the cable-side connector 47B and the third equipment-side connector 45 along the second cable 47.
Further, by mounting the cover 53 to the box 43 forming the second electrical equipment 42, the third equipment-side connector 45 and the cable-side connector 47B of the second cable 47 that is connected to the third equipment-side connector 45 can be covered with the cover 53. As a result, at the time of performing maintenance and inspection work to the heat exchanger 15 in the heat exchanger front room 28B, it is possible to prevent an operator from inadvertently stepping on the third equipment-side connector 45 or the cable-side connector 47B of the second cable 47, which can be protected.
On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the onboard equipment assembly 34 that is configured of the floor plate 35 for closing the bottom side of the utility room 29, the first electrical equipment 36 for which the vibration absorption measure is necessary, and the vibration absorption mount 38 is in advance assembled. Thereby, the workability at the time of arranging the first electrical equipment 36 in the utility room 29 can be enhanced.
Therefore, the process of an assembly work for assembling the onboard equipment assembly 34, which will be incorporated to the revolving frame 5, will be explained with reference to
Next,
At this time, as shown in
Next,
Next,
It should be noted that this assembly mounting process is executed before mounting the top surface cover for closing the top surface of the utility room 29 or by in advance removing the top surface cover before executing this process.
Thus, according to the present embodiment, the first electrical equipment 36 is mounted on the floor plate 35 configured removably to the revolving frame 5 through the vibration absorption mount 38. Thereby, the onboard equipment assembly 34 can be formed by using the floor plate 35 that is originally the component member of the revolving frame 5. Therefore, only by mounting the floor plate 35 that is a base of the onboard equipment assembly 34 to the position 5A of the utility room 29 in the revolving frame 5 after forming the onboard equipment assembly 34, the first electrical equipment 36 can quickly and easily be arranged in the utility room 29 in a vibration absorption state.
In this case, the first electrical equipment 36 is mounted to the floor plate 35 that is originally the component member of the revolving frame 5 to form the onboard equipment assembly 34, and thereby this onboard equipment assembly 34 can be downsized as quickly as possible. As a result, at the time of mounting or removing the onboard equipment assembly 34 to or from the revolving frame 5 in the position 5A of the utility room 29, a large work space in the periphery of the onboard equipment assembly 34 can be ensured, thus the workability at the mounting and removal of the onboard equipment assembly 34 can be enhanced.
Further, by mounting the first electrical equipment 36 on the floor plate 35 that is the component member of the revolving frame 5, the number of components of the onboard equipment assembly 34 can be reduced as compared to a case of using the basis composed of a member different from the revolving frame 5. As a result, the assembly workability of the onboard equipment assembly 34 can be enhanced, and besides, manufacturing costs of the onboard equipment assembly 34 can be reduced.
On the other hand, at the time of mounting the onboard equipment assembly 34 on the revolving frame 5, the floor plate 35 of the onboard equipment assembly 34 is once placed on the floor plate mounting seat 11A of the left side frame 11 and the floor plate mounting bracket 6A of the bottom plate 6. After that, the floor plate 35 can be mounted on these floor plate mounting seat 11A and the floor plate mounting bracket 6A by using the bolt 35G. Therefore, the mounting or removal work of the onboard equipment assembly 34 to or from the revolving frame 5 can be performed in the upper-lower direction in a state of lifting the onboard equipment assembly 34 by using the rope 55 to furthermore enhance the workability.
Further, at the time of inserting the bolt 38D that is provided to project from the floor plate-side mounting portion 38B of the vibration absorption mount 38 into the mount mounting hole 35H of the floor plate 35 for nut-fastening, the rotation restricting projection 38E that is provided in the floor plate-side mounting portion 38B is engaged to the rotation restricting hole 35J of the floor plate 35, making it possible to suppress the vibration absorption mount 38 to rotate to the floor plate 35. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the torsional force to act on the elastic body 38C to prevent damages of the elastic body 38C. In addition, even if the revolving frame 5 vibrates at the operating of the hydraulic excavator 1, it is possible to suppress the mount portion between the vibration absorption mount 38 and the floor plate 35 to be loosened. As a result, the first electrical equipment 36 can be supported on the floor plate 35 that is fixed to the revolving frame 5 in a stable vibration absorption state for a long period of time.
It should be noted that the aforementioned embodiment exemplifies a case where the cover 53 is provided in the box 43 forming the second electrical equipment 42 to cover the cable-side connector 47B of the second cable 47 and the third equipment-side connector 45.

Further, the aforementioned embodiment is explained by taking the electric motor 33 that is used in the hybrid type revolving device 30 as an example of the electric device mounted on the vehicle body. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the present invention may be applied to an electric hydraulic pump that is used as a prime mover, for example. Further, the present invention may be applied to a hybrid type prime mover for combining the engine 13 and the electric motor for hydraulic pump to drive the hydraulic pump.
