The utility model relates to the technical field of ships, and discloses a boarding device with a retractable structure, which comprises a fixed plate, upper clamping seats are symmetrically mounted on the fixed plate, a plurality of ladder plates are arranged between the two upper clamping seats, the ladder plates are distributed in a ladder shape, first movable strips are arranged on two sides of each ladder plate, and second movable strips are arranged on two sides of each ladder plate. The first movable strips on the two sides of the ladder plate located on the top are connected with the upper clamping base through connecting rods, and the first movable strips between the connected ladder plates are connected through the second movable strips. The first movable strip and the second movable strip are turned over and stretched step by step through operation of stretching the ladder plates, so that the multiple ladder plates are fully unfolded. The process acts on the linkage arm and the movable arm, the tension spring is promoted to stretch, and the unfolding action is completed. When the folding ladder is recycled, the ladder plate is pushed upwards, so that the movable strip I and the movable strip II are turned over in sequence, and the ladder plate can be folded. The scheme has the characteristics of novel structure, small size, rapid folding and unfolding and the like, and the use convenience is greatly improved.
