Conventionally, in a small-slewing hydraulic excavator, an upper revolving structure has a substantially circular shape (round shape) in plan view, and a heavy engine or counter is provided at the rear of the upper revolving structure. Weights are mounted. In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, the revolving frame (body frame of the upper revolving unit) 6 is located at a substantially central portion in the width direction of the bottom plate 6B, which is a flat plate formed in a substantially circular plate shape. A pair of beams (strength members) 6A that extend in the front-rear direction and also serve as support brackets for rotatably supporting a base end side of a boom (not shown) of a working device (also referred to as a working attachment). , 6A.

[0004] In the case of a small-swing hydraulic excavator or the like, the space for disposing the equipment in the engine room, which is usually set at the rear of the upper revolving structure, becomes considerably narrow. Further, since the beams 6A, 6A, which are strength members in the front-rear direction, extend in the front-rear direction substantially at the center of the fuselage, it is necessary to prevent interference when the engine is arranged in the engine room. The above freedom was restricted. Also, since the beam is a strength member, a certain thickness (t) and a certain height (hf
~ Hr) is required. Therefore, when the engine is arranged on the beams 6A, 6B, the position of the center of gravity becomes high, adversely affecting the stability and the engine room itself becomes large in the vertical direction. The rear view from the room might be deteriorated.

In order to avoid such a situation, the strength member in the front-rear direction is divided in the middle, and the rear portion from the middle divided portion is located in the engine room, so that the space between the pair of left and right reinforcing members can be freely adjusted. Means for positioning the strength member in accordance with the shape of the mounted engine and the position of the fixed portion. More specifically, it is divided at the part of the partition plate 33 which is a lateral strength member, and the rear end portion of the front strength member among the longitudinal strength members is partitioned by the partition plate 33.
And the front end of the rear strength member of the front-back strength members is welded to the partition plate 33 to make the entire strength member (including the bottom plate 6B) integral.

However, if the longitudinal strength member is divided in the middle, there is a disadvantage in strength. In particular, since the engine room portion supports a heavy object such as an engine at a position distant from the turning center O, vibrations during traveling of a hydraulic shovel or the like cause stress concentration around the connecting portion between the partition plate 33 and the rear strength member, and cracks occur. There is a possibility that a problem such as occurrence of a problem may occur. In order to maintain the strength in the case where the strength is not divided while dividing, the strength of the strength member is increased (if the material is a plate, the thickness (t) is increased) or the thickness of the bottom plate (6B) itself is increased. It is necessary to take measures such as welding or reinforcing a large number of reinforcing members. This involves inconveniences such as an increase in manufacturing cost, a decrease in productivity due to an increase in the number of parts, and an unnecessary increase in machine weight.

Further, the reinforcing member is formed of a plate member having a substantially triangular shape in a plan view, while being separately connected to the left and right rear strength members and the intermediate strength member, respectively. According to this, it is possible to adjust the size (area in plan view) of the reinforcing member formed of the plate member having a required thickness according to the required strength.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a main part showing a fixed state of a reinforcing plate 20 of another example in the upper swing body 3 of the present embodiment. In the figure, components using the same components as those of the body frame 10 shown in FIG. The reinforcing plate 20 shown in FIG. 7 was formed as a single plate extending over two corners C1-C2 of the corners. That is, when there is no possibility of causing interference with devices such as the engine 5, a single reinforcing plate 20 is provided over two corner portions C1-C2 close to the engine 5. Thereby, the reinforcing plate 20 in the body frame 10 'can be made stronger, and the number of members of the reinforcing plate is reduced, which is advantageous in cost.
