[0064] Further referring to Figure 13 、 Figure 14 and Figure 5 , Figure 13 Fig. 3 shows a structure diagram of a second limiting piece of the boarding device, Figure 14 ​An enlarged schematic diagram of the limiting method of the second limiting member of the boarding device of the present invention is shown.

[0065] In some embodiments, the rotating assembly 200 further includes a second limiting member 240, which is mounted on the third link 213 and located at one end of the third link 213 near the pedal unit 220. The second limiting member 240 is used to limit the rotation angle of the pedal unit 220. Specifically, the second limiting member 240 is generally in the shape of a "Z", including a middle connecting section 241 and limiting sections 242 and mounting sections 243 located at opposite ends of the middle connecting section 241 and extending in opposite directions. The mounting section 243 is mounted on one end of the third link 213 near the pedal unit 220, and the limiting section 242 is used to limit the rotation of the pedal unit 220. Thus, when the pedal unit 220 is in the unfolded state (see Appendix), Figure 2 The second limiting member 240 can limit the rotation angle of the pedal unit 220, preventing the pedal unit 220 from rotating to a vertical state, which would make it inconvenient to step on the pedal to get on the vehicle.

[0066] Please refer to the following: Figures 15-17 and Figure 10 , Figure 15 A schematic diagram of the structure of the first locking part of the first locking assembly of the boarding device of the present invention is shown. Figure 16 A schematic diagram showing the connection between the first locking part and the third connecting rod of the present invention is shown. Figure 17 A schematic diagram of the structure of the second locking part of the first locking assembly of the boarding device of the present invention is shown, and a schematic diagram of the connection between the second locking part and the pedal unit of the present invention is shown.

[0067] In some embodiments, the rotating assembly 200 further includes a first locking component 250, which includes a first locking portion 251 and a second locking portion 252. The first locking portion 251 is mounted on the end of the third link 213 near the second link 212, and the second locking portion 252 is mounted on the end of the pedal unit 220 away from the third link 213. When the rotating assembly 200 is in the retracted state (see attached figure) Figure 1), the second locking portion 252 can extend into the first locking portion 251 and be clamped with the first locking portion 251 to lock the pedal unit 220. Specifically, the first locking portion 251 is substantially in the shape of a "U" and is provided with a clamping cavity 2511 which penetrates the first locking portion 251 along the length direction of the first locking portion 251, the width dimension of the clamping cavity 2511 gradually decreases from the side close to the mounting lug plate 2133 to the side away from the mounting lug plate 2133 and then gradually increases, the third connecting rod 213 comprises a third connecting rod body 2132 and a mounting lug plate 2133, the mounting lug plate 2133 is connected to the end side of the third connecting rod body 2132 away from the pedal unit 220, the first locking portion 251 is mounted to the side of the mounting lug plate 2133 away from the mounting bracket 100 through a fastener 2512, and the first locking portion 251 can be elastically deformed. One end of the second locking portion 252 can extend into the clamping cavity 2511, the second locking portion 252 comprises a mounting portion 2521 and a clamping portion 2522, the mounting portion 2521 is substantially in the shape of a cuboid and is mounted to the end of the pedal unit 220 away from the third connecting rod 213 and close to the third connecting rod 213, the clamping portion 2522 is connectable to the mounting portion 2521 through a fastener, the diameter dimension of the end of the clamping portion 2522 away from the mounting portion 2521 gradually increases from the side close to the mounting portion 2521 to the side away from the mounting portion 2521 and then gradually decreases, and the clamping portion 2522 can extend into the clamping cavity 2511 and be clamped with the first locking portion 251.

[0068] Thus, when the rotating assembly 200 is in the storage state, the clamping portion 2522 can be clamped in the clamping cavity 2511, thereby fixing the pedal unit 220 to the first locking assembly 250 and avoiding the rotation of the pedal unit 220 during the driving of the vehicle.

[0069] Further referring to Figure 18 and Figure 1 , Figure 18 a structure diagram of the second locking assembly of the boarding device is shown.

[0070] In some embodiments, the rotating assembly 200 further comprises a second locking assembly 260 mounted on the mounting bracket 100 and located in the mounting cavity 120, which can lock the second connecting rod 212 when the rotating assembly 200 is in the storage state. Specifically, the second locking assembly 260 comprises two spaced mounting plates 261, a locking rod 262 and a handle 263, the two mounting plates 261 are respectively mounted on the first bracket 130 and the second bracket 140 and are located in the mounting cavity 120, the opposite ends of the locking rod 262 are respectively mounted on the two mounting plates 261, one end of the handle 263 is rotatably mounted on one of the mounting plates 261 through a rotating piece 265, the other end of the handle 263 is clamped in the clamping groove 2611 of the other mounting plate 261, and the locking rod 262 and the handle 263 define a limiting cavity 264 therebetween, and the second connecting rod 212 can be arranged in the limiting cavity 264. In this way, when the rotating assembly 200 is in the storage state, the second connecting rod 212 is arranged in the limiting cavity 264, so that the rotation of the second connecting rod 212 is avoided, and the stability of the rotating assembly 200 is improved.

In this way, the boarding device 10 can be stored or unfolded as needed, saving installation space and facilitating use.

[0072] In summary, the present application provides a boarding device 10 and a towing vehicle, the rotating mechanism 210 can rotate relative to the mounting bracket 100, and the pedal unit 220 can rotate relative to the rotating mechanism 210, thereby realizing the switching of the rotating assembly 200 between the storage state and the unfolded state; when the rotating assembly 200 is in the unfolded state, the first limiting piece 230 can limit the rotation angle of the second connecting rod 212, so as to avoid the pedal unit 220 being too far away from the door due to too large rotation angle of the second connecting rod 212; when the rotating assembly 200 is in the unfolded state, the second limiting piece 240 can limit the rotation angle of the pedal unit 220, so as to avoid the pedal unit 220 being inconvenient to step on due to being rotated to the vertical state; when the rotating assembly 200 is in the storage state, the second locking part 252 of the first locking assembly 250 can extend into the first locking part 251 and be clamped with the first locking part 251 to lock the pedal unit 220, so as to avoid the pedal unit 220 being rotated during the driving of the vehicle; when the rotating assembly 200 is in the storage state, the second connecting rod 212 can be arranged in the limiting cavity 264 formed by the second locking assembly 260, so as to avoid the rotation of the second connecting rod 212 and improve the stability of the rotating assembly 200.
