Abstract

A working machine body includes a machine body having a front and a rear opposite to the front in a front-rear direction and an engine mounted in the machine body. A selective catalytic reduction catalyst is provided in the machine body and connected to the machine body and connected to the engine. A urea aqueous solution tank is to store a urea aqueous solution. The urea aqueous solution tank is connected to the selective catalytic reduction catalyst and provided in the machine body between the engine and the front of the machine body in the front-rear direction.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A working machine comprising:
a machine body having a front and a rear opposite to the front in a front-rear direction of the working machine and having a right side and a left side opposite to the right side in a right-left direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction; a right traveling device arranged on the right side of the machine body; a left traveling device arranged on the left side of the machine body; a boom having a boom front and a boom rear opposite to the boom front in the front-rear direction, the boom rear being rotatably supported at the rear of the machine body, the boom front being to be connected to a working tool; an engine mounted in the machine body; a selective catalytic reduction catalyst provided in the machine body and connected to the engine; and a urea aqueous solution tank to store a urea aqueous solution, the urea aqueous solution tank being connected to the selective catalytic reduction catalyst and provided in the machine body between the engine and the front of the machine body in the front-rear direction.

2 . The working machine according to claim 1 , wherein the urea aqueous solution tank is provided on either side of the right side and the left side in the right-left direction.

3 . The working machine according to claim 1 , wherein the engine has an output shaft which is provided along the front-rear direction.

4 . The working machine according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a traveling device support body supporting the right traveling device and the left traveling device, wherein the machine body does not rotate with respect to the traveling device support body.

5 . The working machine according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a cabin mounted in the machine body between the right side and the left side in the right-left direction and between the engine and the front of the machine body in the front-rear direction.

6 . The working machine according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a hydraulic pump configured to be driven by the engine, the urea aqueous solution tank being provided between the hydraulic pump and the front of the machine body in the front-rear direction.

7 . The working machine according to claim 6 , wherein the hydraulic pump is provided between the engine and the front of the machine body in the front-rear direction.

8 . The working machine according to claim 7 ,
wherein the engine has an output shaft, and wherein the hydraulic pump has a shaft to be driven by the output shaft of the engine and is provided such that the shaft of the hydraulic pump is substantially coaxial with the output shaft of the engine.

9 . The working machine according to claim 8 , wherein the engine is provided such that the output shaft of the engine is provided in the front-rear direction.

10 . The working machine according to claim 2 , further comprising:
a feeding port via which the urea aqueous solution is supplied to the urea aqueous solution tank, the feeding port being provided on the either side of the machine body.

11 . The working machine according to claim 10 , wherein the feeding port is provided between the boom and one of the right traveling device and the left traveling device in a height direction of the working machine, the height direction being perpendicular to the front-rear direction and to the right-left direction.

12 . The working machine according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an additional boom having an additional boom front and an additional boom rear opposite to the additional boom front in the front-rear direction, the additional boom rear being rotatably supported at the rear of the machine body, the additional boom front being to be connected to the working tool, the boom being provided at one of the right side and the left side of the machine body, the additional boom being provided at another of the right side and the left side of the machine body, the urea aqueous solution tank being provided between the boom and the additional boom in the right-left direction.

13 . The working machine according to claim 12 , wherein the urea aqueous solution tank is provided between the boom and the additional boom in the right-left direction when the boom is positioned such that the working tool is positioned on ground.

14 . The working machine according to claim 5 , wherein the urea aqueous solution tank is provided below the cabin in a height direction of the working machine, the height direction being perpendicular to the front-rear direction and to the right-left direction.

15 . The working machine according to claim 14 , wherein the urea aqueous solution tank overlaps with the cabin as viewed in the height direction.

16 . The working machine according to claim 7 , further comprising:
a hydraulic motor provided between a rear end of the engine and the front of the machine body in the front-rear direction to be driven by the hydraulic pump, the hydraulic motor having a rotational center axis, the urea aqueous solution tank being provided between the rotational center axis of the hydraulic motor and the front of the machine body in the front-rear direction.

17 . The working machine according to claim 16 , wherein the hydraulic motor is configured to drive at least one of the right traveling device or the left traveling device.

18 . The working machine according to claim 7 , further comprising:
a feeding port via which the urea aqueous solution is supplied to the urea aqueous solution tank, the feeding port being provided on either side of the right side and the left side of the machine body in the right-left direction; and a hydraulic motor provided between a rear end of the engine and the front of the machine body in the front-rear direction to be driven by the hydraulic pump, the hydraulic motor having a rotational center axis, the feeding port being provided between the rotational center axis of the hydraulic motor and the front of the machine body in the front-rear direction.
