Abstract

A controller assembly is mounted on a side wall surface extending in an upward/downward direction of a hydraulic excavator. The controller assembly includes a controller main body, a first bracket, a second bracket, and a vibration suppressing member. The first bracket is mounted on the side wall surface described above. The second bracket is fixed to the controller main body. The vibration suppressing member supports the first bracket at one end in the upward/downward direction, and supports the second bracket at the other end in the upward/downward direction so as to be movable with respect to the first bracket.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A controller assembly mounted to a wall surface of a work vehicle, the controller assembly comprising:
a controller main body;
a first bracket mounted on the wall surface, the wall surface extending in an upward/downward direction of the work vehicle;
a second bracket fixed to the controller main body; and
a vibration suppressing member supporting the first bracket at one end in the upward/downward direction and supporting the second bracket at the other end in the upward/downward direction such that the second bracket is movable with respect to the first bracket.

2. The controller assembly according to claim 1 , wherein when a width direction is defined as a direction which is orthogonal to both an orthogonal direction orthogonal to the wall surface and the upward/downward direction, the vibration suppressing member is located in the width direction of the controller main body.

3. The controller assembly according to claim 1 , wherein
the first bracket has a first boss portion and a first hole portion, and
the second bracket has a second boss portion and a second hole portion, and
the first boss portion extends toward one side in the upward/downward direction and penetrates through the second hole portion, and
the second boss portion extends toward the other side in the upward/downward direction and penetrates through the first hole portion.

4. The controller assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the first boss portion is located more on the one side in the upward/downward direction than the second boss portion, and a first vibration suppressing member fixation portion is provided at an end portion on the one side of the first boss portion, and a second vibration suppressing member fixation portion is provided at an end portion on the other side of the second boss portion.

5. The controller assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the first boss portion and the second boss portion are arranged so as to be concentric with each other.

6. The controller assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the controller main body includes a main body portion and a connector portion arranged at an upper end of the main body portion.

7. The controller assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the controller main body includes a main body portion and an indicator portion arranged on an upper portion of the main body portion.

8. The controller assembly according to claim 1 , wherein when a width direction is defined as a direction which is orthogonal to both an orthogonal direction orthogonal to the wall surface and the upward/downward direction, a height size of the controller main body in the upward/downward direction is less than a width size of the controller main body in the width direction.

9. The controller assembly according to claim 1 , wherein when a width direction is defined as a direction which is orthogonal to both an orthogonal direction orthogonal to the wall surface and the upward/downward direction, a width size of the controller main body in the width direction and a height size of the controller main body in the upward/downward direction are greater than a depth size of the controller main, body in the orthogonal direction.

10. The controller assembly according to claim 1 , wherein when the controller main body is viewed from the orthogonal direction orthogonal to the wall surface, the first bracket has a wall surface mount hole at a position not overlapping with the controller main body.
