Abstract
A solenoid valve is supported by a supporting bracket at a position above a control valve. An erected section of the supporting bracket is arranged at a position separated from the control valve in a horizontal direction so as not to overlap with a hydraulic port in the control valve in a side view. A plurality of pilot pipes connected to the solenoid valve are held by a guide section in a bundled state so that the pilot pipes are routed in a vertical direction along the erected section.
Claims9
A valve arrangement structure of a construction machine, comprising:
- a control valve connected to a hydraulic device via a hydraulic pipe;
- a solenoid valve connected to the control valve via a plurality of pilot pipes;
- a valve supporting member which supports the control valve from below the control valve;
- and
- a supporting bracket which supports the solenoid valve so that the solenoid valve is positioned above the control valve, wherein
- a hydraulic port to which the hydraulic pipe is connected is provided on a lateral connection surface of the control valve, and
- the supporting bracket includes:
- an erected section which is erected at a position separated from the connection surface of the valve supporting member in a horizontal direction so as not to overlap with the connection surface in a viewpoint along a direction perpendicular to the connection surface and which extends in a vertical direction from the valve supporting member to a position higher than an upper surface of the control valve;
- a placing section which extends from an upper end section of the erected section so as to be arranged at a position higher than the upper surface of the control valve and on which the solenoid valve is placed;
- and
- at least one guide section which is provided in the erected section, which holds the pilot pipes in a bundled state so that the pilot pipes are routed in the vertical direction along the erected section, and which restricts the pilot pipes from moving in at least a direction separating from the control valve.
