Abstract
A work vehicle includes: a first exhaust pipe to which engine exhaust is sent; and a second exhaust pipe that has an inlet having an outer diameter larger than an outlet of the first exhaust pipe, the outlet of the first exhaust pipe and the inlet of the second exhaust pipe being disposed in proximity such that the outlet of the first exhaust pipe is positioned inside the inlet of the second exhaust pipe; a partition that divides a cross section of the outlet of the first exhaust pipe into a plurality of divided regions when viewed from the flow direction and partitions the adjacent divided regions at intervals.
Claims11
A work vehicle comprising:
- a first exhaust pipe to which engine exhaust is sent;
- a second exhaust pipe that has an inlet having an outer diameter larger than an outer diameter of an outlet of the first exhaust pipe, wherein
- the outlet of the first exhaust pipe and the inlet of the second exhaust pipe are disposed in proximity such that the outlet of the first exhaust pipe is positioned inside the inlet of the second exhaust pipe;
- and
- a partition that:
- comprises two or more elongated plates, wherein
- when viewed from a flow direction of the engine exhaust, the two or more elongated plates either:
- intersect each other at a center of the outlet of the first exhaust pipe, or
- extend radially outward from the center of the outlet of the first exhaust pipe, and
- both end portions of each of the two or more elongated plates are supported by notches on the outlet of the first exhaust pipe, and
- divides a cross section of the outlet of the first exhaust pipe into a plurality of divided regions when viewed from the flow direction and partitions the adjacent divided regions at intervals.
