Abstract

A working vehicle is provided with a traveling vehicle, a working section which is supported on a rotatable base, an operator's cab, and a connection section. The connection section includes: a connection section body which connects the rotatable base and the operator's cab and which is provided so as to be capable of pivoting about a base-side connection section connected to the rotatable base and about the operator's cab-side connection section connected to the operator's cab; and a pivot control section which extends so as to always intersect the connection section body in the range of pivoting of the connection section body, connects the rotatable base and the operator's cab, and is provided so as to be capable of pivoting about a base-side connection section connected to the rotatable base and about an operator's cab-side connection section connected to the operator's cab.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A working vehicle comprising:
a travelling vehicle;
a working part that includes a slewing base turnably provided on an upper side of the travelling vehicle, and operates with a support of the slewing base;
a cab mounted on the slewing base and configured for an operation of the travelling vehicle and the working part; and
a coupling part that couples the cab and the slewing base such that an orientation of the cab is changeable with respect to the slewing base, wherein:
the coupling part includes:
a coupling part main body that couples the slewing base and the cab, and is turnable with a first base connecting part connected with the slewing base and a first cab connecting part connected with the cab, and
a turning control part extended to intersect the coupling part main body at all times in a turning range of the coupling part main body and to couple the slewing base and the cab, the turning control part being turnable with a second base connecting part connected with the slewing base and a second cab connecting part connected with the cab,

a distance between the first base connecting part of the coupling part main body and the second base connecting part of the turning control part and a distance between the first cab connecting part of the coupling part main body and the second cab connecting part of the turning control part are equal to each other, and
a length from the first base connecting part to the first cab connecting part in the coupling part main body and a length from the second base connecting part to the second cab connecting part in the turning control part are equal to each other.

2. The working vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the coupling part main body is connected with the cab at a portion in the proximity of a center of gravity of the cab to support the cab.

3. The working vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the coupling part main body is turned in a range of approximately 90 degrees.

4. The working vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein:
the cab is disposed on a side of the working part, the cab including at one side part thereof a door through which an operator enters or leaves the cab; and
when changing an orientation of the cab such that the door faces the working part, the coupling part turns the cab to form a space between the door and the working part as a passage for the operator.
