  • Publication number: 20220263232
    Abstract: A revolving work vehicle includes a lower traveling body and an upper revolving body. The upper revolving body is revolvably supported by the lower traveling body. The upper revolving body comprises: a roof; rear-side support columns; a base body; antenna support columns; and GNSS antennas. The roof is disposed above an operator's seat. The rear-side support columns are disposed as a pair and extend upwards from the rear section of the upper revolving body so as to support the roof. The base body is attached to both of the pair of rear-side support columns so as to connect the pair of rear-side support columns to each other. The antenna columns are disposed as a pair and extend upwards from the base body at positions which do not overlap with the roof in a plan view. The GNSS antennas are disposed as a pair.

  • Publication number: 20220162830
    Abstract: A turning work vehicle comprises a lower travel body, an upper turning body, a work device, a rotation body, and a support column. The lower travel body is provided with a blade. The upper turning body is supported by the lower travel body so as to be able to turn. The work device is supported by the upper turning body so as to be able to rotate. The rotation body is provided to the blade. The support column is provided so as to project from the rotation body. A target prism, which is the measurement object of a total station, can be secured to the support column. The rotation body rotates in relation to the blade, whereby the posture of the support column is configured so as to be able to switch between an upright posture and a fallen posture.

  • Patent number: 11305641
    Abstract: A construction machine in which an electrical unit can be reliably cooled at low cost by effectively utilizing an intake pipe connected to an intake port of an engine. This construction machine includes: an engine; and a hood covering the engine, wherein a space inside the hood has a placement space in which an electrical unit is placed and which communicates with outside air, and a distal-end opening of an intake pipe connected to an inlet port of the engine is disposed in the placement space to cause outside air sucked into the intake pipe due to a suction pressure occurred in the intake pipe to pass through the placement space to form a cooling air path in the placement space.
