Abstract

A new rough terrain crane has an exhaust emission control device that has a DOC, a DRT, and a SCR. The DOC and the DRT are connected in series and disposed along a longitudinal direction of a vehicle. A rear end of the DOC is positioned at the front side relative to a rear end of an engine. The SCR is disposed in parallel to the DOC and both devices are disposed above a support member of a rear outrigger. The SCR is disposed on the upper side relative to the DOC at a position close to the engine.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A rough terrain crane with an exhaust emission control device, comprising:
a carrier having a front axle and a rear axle; and
a boom device disposed on an upper side of the carrier; wherein
the carrier has a lower frame, a rear outrigger disposed on a lower side of a rear end portion of the lower frame, and an engine that is disposed on the rear end portion of the lower frame, powers traveling, and supplies hydraulic pressure,
the exhaust emission control device comprises
a diesel oxidation catalyst that is coupled to an exhaust pipe extending from the engine, and treats unburned fuel and carbon monoxide in the exhaust emission,
a decomposition reactor tube that is disposed downstream of the diesel oxidation catalyst and supplies a reducer to nitrogen oxides in the exhaust emission, and
a selective catalytic reduction device that is disposed downstream of the decomposition reactor tube and reduces nitrogen oxides in the exhaust emission into nitrogen (N 2 ) and water (H 2 O),

the decomposition reactor tube is joined to at least one of the diesel oxidation catalyst and the selective catalytic reduction device in series along a longitudinal direction of the lower frame,
the diesel oxidation catalyst and the selective catalytic reduction device are disposed in parallel and with at least one longitudinal element of the selective catalytic reduction device facing a longitudinal element of the diesel oxidation catalyst,
the diesel oxidation catalyst is disposed along the longitudinal direction above a bracket that supports a case of the rear outrigger,
the selective catalytic reduction device is disposed along the longitudinal direction on an upper side relative to the diesel oxidation catalyst, and
the selective catalytic reduction device is disposed at a position on a side of the engine relative to the diesel oxidation catalyst.

2. The rough terrain crane with an exhaust emission control device according to claim 1 , wherein the bracket is a strengthening rib that couples the lower frame and the case of the rear outrigger.

3. The rough terrain crane with an exhaust emission control device according to claim 1 , wherein the bracket is a hydraulic cylinder that is disposed between the lower frame and the case of the rear outrigger, and presses the case against the ground surface.

4. A rough terrain crane with an exhaust emission control device, comprising:
a carrier having a front axle and a rear axle; and
a boom device disposed on an upper side of the carrier; wherein
the carrier has a lower frame, a rear outrigger disposed on a lower side of a rear end portion of the lower frame, and an engine that is disposed on the rear end portion of the lower frame, powers traveling, and supplies hydraulic pressure,
the exhaust emission control device comprises a diesel particulate filter that is coupled to an exhaust pipe extending from the engine and to which exhaust emission is supplied, a decomposition reactor tube disposed downstream of the diesel particulate filter and supplies a reducer to nitrogen oxides in the exhaust emission, and a selective catalytic reduction device that is disposed downstream of the decomposition reactor tube and reduces nitrogen oxides in the exhaust emission into nitrogen (N 2 ) and water (H 2 O),
the decomposition reactor tube is joined to the diesel particulate filter or the selective catalytic reduction device in series along a longitudinal direction of the lower frame and the diesel particulate filter and the selective catalytic reduction device are disposed in parallel and with at least one longitudinal element of the selective catalytic reduction device facing a longitudinal element of the diesel particulate filter,
the diesel particulate filter is disposed along the longitudinal direction above a bracket that supports a case of the rear outrigger, and the selective catalytic reduction device is disposed along the longitudinal direction on an upper side relative to the diesel particulate filter, and
the selective catalytic reduction device is disposed at a position on a side of the engine relative to the diesel particulate filter.

5. The rough terrain crane with an exhaust emission control device according to claim 4 , wherein the bracket is a strengthening rib that couples the lower frame and the case of the rear outrigger.

6. The rough terrain crane with an exhaust emission control device according to claim 4 , wherein the bracket is a hydraulic cylinder that is disposed between the lower frame and the case of the rear outrigger, and presses the case against the ground surface.
