  • Publication number: 20220349152
    Abstract: Provided is a hydraulic piping clamp device for a construction machine, with which it is possible to easily assemble a plurality of clamp members used to fasten hydraulic piping. A fastener (5) includes a bracket (6) and a plurality of clamp members (7). Hydraulic hoses (4) are respectively held by the plurality of clamp members (7). Each clamp member (7) has a holding portion (71) for holding a hydraulic hose and an insertion hole into which a guide bar (65) can be inserted. The clamp members (7) are mounted on the bracket (6) by inserting the guide bar (65) into the insertion hole in the clamp members (7). When two adjacent clamp members move away from one another, a first engaging portion (73) of one clamp member engages with a second engaging portion (75) of the other clamp member.

  • Patent number: 10030365
    Abstract: A solenoid valve is supported by a supporting bracket at a position above a control valve. An erected section of the supporting bracket is arranged at a position separated from the control valve in a horizontal direction so as not to overlap with a hydraulic port in the control valve in a side view. A plurality of pilot pipes connected to the solenoid valve are held by a guide section in a bundled state so that the pilot pipes are routed in a vertical direction along the erected section.

  • Patent number: 9464734
    Abstract: Provided is a cord-like member holder for holding a cord-like member inserted into a through-hole provided in a partition wall of an operator's cab of a working machine, including a grommet made of elastic material to have an inner peripheral surface surrounding a cord-like member insertion hole and a sealing surface, and a fixture. The fixture includes a clamp section to clamp the grommet to bring an inner peripheral surface of the grommet into close contact with an outer peripheral surface of the cord-like member, and a fixing section joined to the clamp section and fastened to the partition wall. The clamp section clamps the grommet while relative displacement of the clamp section to the grommet in a direction of approaching the partition wall is restrained, and the fixing section is fastened to the partition wall to bring the sealing surface into close contact with the partition wall.

  • Patent number: 9297143
    Abstract: Provided is a construction machine which is capable of disposing a manually-operated unit at a position where it can be manually operated by a worker located around an upper slewing body, while suppressing an increase in size of the upper slewing body in a horizontal direction. The manually-operated unit comprises a unit body, and a rotary lever attached with respect to the unit body in such a manner as to be rotatable about a preset rotational axis, in a posture where it extends beyond an outer peripheral surface of the unit body in a direction perpendicular to the rotational axis. A fuel tank has an undersurface opposed to the bottom plate, and a lower-outer lateral surface extending upwardly from the undersurface in such a manner as to face an outer edge portion side of a bottom plate. The unit body is disposed above the bottom plate and beneath the undersurface of the fuel tank, in a posture where the rotational axis extends approximately horizontally.
