  • Patent number: 7134518
    Abstract: In a construction machine comprising an engine, hydraulic device, and heat exchanger for cooling the engine and the hydraulic device, which are all disposed in an upper rotating body of the construction machine, there is formed a maintenance passage along which maintenance portions of the engine and the hydraulic device are disposed so as to cross the upper rotating body. Exhaust air from cooling fans for sending air to the heat exchanger is discharged to the exterior of the machine body through the passage. Thus, the passage is utilized as an exhaust air passage for the heat exchanger, whereby it is possible to provide a construction machine improved in cooling efficiency for the heat exchanger.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6032620
    Abstract: An air intake structure in a construction machine, comprising a radiator chamber, a radiator ventilating hole formed in an upper position of the radiator chamber, an air cleaner chamber formed in close proximity to the radiator chamber, an air cleaner ventilating hole formed in the ceiling surface of the air cleaner chamber, an intake duct disposed below the air cleaner ventilating hole and communicating with the radiator chamber, and an air cleaner disposed in close proximity to the ceiling surface of the air cleaner chamber at a position close to the intake duct. According to this air intake structure, not only the engine cooling efficiency can be enhanced to a satisfactory extent, but also a lower space in the air cleaner chamber can be fully utilized effectively.
