  • Patent number: 8684116
    Abstract: Disclosed is a construction machine comprising an engine room having first and second exhaust ports, preventing deterioration of air flows due to collision of exhaust airs through the first and the second exhaust ports, and reducing noise transmission on lateral sides of the construction machine. The construction machine comprises an engine guard surrounding an engine room; an engine, a heat exchanger, and a cooling fan, which are installed in the engine room; and an exhaust air guide. The engine guard is formed with exhaust ports including the first and second exhaust ports. The first is opened in parallel to an axial direction of an engine output shaft. The second is formed in proximity to the first exhaust port downstream of the first exhaust port with respect to a direction parallel to the axial direction of the engine output shaft and opened upward below the first exhaust port.

  • Patent number: 7841314
    Abstract: To improve soundproof performance on an air intake side of a cooling structure of a construction machine without enlarging an air intake chamber. An air intake chamber is provided on the air intake side of a heat exchanger in an engine room, and a first air intake port is formed in a top face of the air intake chamber. In the air intake chamber, a duct independently formed as a shield member is disposed so as to partition the air intake chamber into two chambers, and also such that the core surface of the heat exchanger is enclosed airtightly from the surrounding atmosphere. A second air intake port is formed in the duct; thereby, the air intake chamber is constituted in a doubled duct structure, and air sucked from the first air intake port is guided through an air intake passage to the core surface of the heat exchanger, the air intake passage being bent so as to be roughly L-shaped.

  • Patent number: 7451843
    Abstract: Engine noise of a construction machine is effectively reduced without reducing cooling performance and with an increase in the height of a body cover kept minimum. To achieve the above, an air-intake opening portion (10) and an air discharge opening portion (11) are arranged in a body cover (8) of an upper rotating body (1), and a cooling fan (5) in an engine room covered by the body cover (8) is driven, taking cooling air in from the air-intake opening portion (10) to cool a heat exchanger (7) in the body cover (8) and discharging the air from the air discharge opening portion (11). The air-intake opening portion (10) is laterally offset from a position facing to a ventilation surface of the heat exchanger (7). Alternatively, plural air-intake opening portions are located in a scattered manner such that the plural air-intake opening portions include the offset air-intake opening portion offset from the ventilation surface of the heat exchanger (7).

  • Publication number: 20080169142
    Abstract: An engine, a cooling fan and a heat exchanger are disposed within an engine room covered with a cover member, while an intake chamber is formed on an intake side of the heat exchanger. A first intake port is formed in an upper chamber wall of the intake chamber and a duct is disposed on a front face side of a heat exchanger core surface in the intake chamber. In a cooling structure of a construction machine which premises the above construction, a front face portion of the duct is inclined in a direction in which the sectional area of an intake passage formed between the duct front face portion and a side face portion of the cover member becomes maximum at the upper portion and decreases gradually toward the lower portion, and a second intake port is formed in a lower half of the front face portion.
