A dump truck includes: a vehicle body frame; a body supported by the vehicle body frame and configured to be raised or lowered; a plurality of tires provided to the vehicle body frame; an electric motor configured to drive the tires; and a cooling blower configured to feed a cooling air to the electric motor, in which the vehicle body frame at least partially includes a hollow part, and the hollow part defines a duct through which the cooling air passes.

Dump truck

A dump truck includes: a vehicle body frame; tires provided to the vehicle body frame and configured to travel the dump truck; and a body supported by the vehicle body frame and configured to be raised and lowered, in which the vehicle body frame includes: a first vertical frame vertically standing in a side view at positions of the tires provided to a first side of the vehicle body frame in a travel direction; and a second vertical frame vertically standing in a side view at positions of the tires provided to a second side of the vehicle body frame in the travel direction, and a mount portion on which the body is mounted is provided on an upper portion of each of the first vertical frame and the second vertical frame.

A dump truck includes a suspension and a steering mechanism. The suspension includes: a suspension arm in a form of an upper arm having an up-and-down movable proximal end supported on a vehicle body frame; and a tire support in a form of a casing rotatably attached to a distal end of the upper arm. The steering mechanism includes a steering cylinder having a proximal end attached to the upper arm and a distal end attached to a knuckle arm provided to the tire support.

A dump truck includes: a vehicle body frame; a body supported by the vehicle body frame and configured to be raised or lowered; a plurality of tires provided to the vehicle body frame via a suspension; and a driving unit in a form of an electric motor configured to drive the tires, in which the vehicle body frame includes: supports respectively supporting an upper arm and a lower arm of a suspension arm of the suspension; and a hollow part at least partially in the vicinity of the supports, and the electric motor is fixed to the vehicle body frame while being housed in the hollow part of the vehicle body frame and supported by an inner surface of the hollow part.

A dump truck includes: a vehicle body frame extending in a travel direction; cooled objects in a form of an engine and an aftercooler; a first radiator and a second radiator configured to exchange heat between a cooling air and a cooling water after cooling the engine and the aftercooler, in which the first radiator is disposed to an outside of a first of the vehicle body frame in a vehicle width direction and the second radiator is disposed to an outside of a second side of the vehicle body frame in the vehicle width direction.

A suspension of a dump truck includes: an upper arm and a lower arm each having a proximal end supported on a vehicle body frame and configured to be up-and-down pivotally movable; a tire support in a form of a casing having an upper portion rotatably connected to a distal end of the upper arm and a lower portion rotatably connected to a distal end of the lower arm; and a suspension cylinder having an upper end rotatably connected to the vehicle body frame and a lower end rotatably connected to the upper arm, in which a king pin shaft connecting a rotation center of the upper arm and the casing with a rotation center of the lower arm and the casing intersects with an axial line of the suspension cylinder in the vicinity of a connecting portion of the upper arm and the casing.

A dump body includes a front plate, a bottom plate integrally provided on a lower part of the front plate, and a pair of right and left side plates provided on sides of the front plate and the bottom plate. On a lower part of an outer surface of the front plate, a linear hollow lower rib extending in a right-left direction and a pair of right and left vertical ribs that are in communication with the lower rib at lower ends thereof are provided. An exhaust gas flow path of an exhaust gas is defined including an inner space of the lower rib and an inner space of the vertical ribs. The exhaust gas flow path is in communication a flow-path forming section of a box shape that allows the exhaust gas flowing in the exhaust gas flow path to go downward relative to the lower rib.

A mine transportation management system capable of reducing cost by reducing the number of transportation vehicles is provided. For this purpose, the system includes a plurality of self-propelled vehicles and a plurality of vessels each having a communication section, and each being identifiable, which are connectable to and separable from each other. A loading machine having a communication section, which loads an object into at least one of the vessels. A management center, which has a communication section, selects a vessel to be transported and selects a self-propelled vehicle for transporting the selected vessel based on a transportation demand signal from a processing facility, and transmits a transportation command signal to the selected self-propelled vehicle to connect to the selected vessel and to travel to the processing facility.
