Detailed Implementation
[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0035] Please see Figure 1-7 This invention provides a technical solution: a movable dock ladder that is easy to disassemble and maintain, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the device includes a first ladder 1, with a first pad 2 fixed at the bottom. A second ladder 17 is rotatably connected to the top of the first ladder 1 via a rotating shaft 15. A groove 12 is provided in the top of the first ladder 1, and a second motor 13 is fixed in the groove 12. The output end of the second motor 13 is connected to a second spur gear 14. The rotating shaft 15 passes through the first ladder 1 and is connected to the second ladder 17. A second rack 16 is fixed to the outside of the rotating shaft 15. The second rack 16 is meshed with one side of the second spur gear 14 and is evenly distributed circumferentially on the rotating shaft 15. The second spur gear 14 can rotate under the action of the second motor 13. Since the second spur gear 14 and the second rack 16 are meshed together, the rotating shaft 15 will rotate with the rotation of the second spur gear 14, thereby driving the second ladder 17 to rotate. Before moving the device, the second ladder 17 needs to be rotated. After moving the device, the second ladder 17 can be rotated down.
[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a support platform 18 is fixed on one side of the first ladder 1, and the second ladder 17 is placed on the support platform 18. Handrails 19 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the upper surface of the first ladder 1 and both sides of the upper surface of the second ladder 17. During the process of climbing the first ladder 1 and the second ladder 17, one can hold onto the handrails 19 for easy assistance in climbing.
[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, the bottom of the first ladder 1 has a storage groove 3, and a drive lifting mechanism 4 is movably connected in the storage groove 3. The drive lifting mechanism 4 includes a first motor 401 and a rotating ring 405. The first motor 401 is fixed in the storage groove 3. The bottom of the first motor 401 is connected to an incomplete gear 402, and a first spur gear 403 is meshed on one side of the incomplete gear 402. A lead screw 404 is fixed to the bottom of the first spur gear 403, and a sleeve 5 is threaded to the outer side of the lead screw 404. The rotating ring 405 is rotatably connected in an annular slide groove 406, which is opened in the first ladder 1. A first rack 407 is fixed on the inner wall of the rotating ring 405, and the first racks 407 are evenly distributed on the rotating ring 405. A pressing plate 408 is fixed at the bottom. The incomplete gear 402 can rotate under the action of the first motor 401, thereby driving the first spur gear 403 to rotate, which in turn drives the lead screw 404 to rotate. At this time, the sleeve 5 can slide up and down under the limiting action of the lead screw 404 and the storage groove 3, thereby driving the moving plate 6 to move up and down, making it convenient to use or retract the roller 8. After the roller 8 is lowered, the incomplete gear 402 meshes with the first rack 407. The rotating ring 405 will rotate with the rotation of the incomplete gear 402. The annular groove 406 plays a limiting role on the rotating ring 405. The pressing plate 408 presses the movable column 1101 downward, and the pin 1105 is finally inserted into the insertion hole 10 to lock the limiting column 9, thus fixing the moving plate 6.
[0038] Furthermore, four extrusion plates 408 are provided, and the four extrusion plates 408 are centrally symmetrically distributed on the rotating ring 405. Each extrusion plate 408 can be used to extrude a movable column 1101, so that the four movable columns 1101 can move downwards simultaneously.
[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, a sleeve 5 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the driving lifting mechanism 4. A movable plate 6 is fixed to the bottom of the sleeve 5 by bolts 7. A roller 8 is fixed to the bottom of the movable plate 6. A limit post 9 is fixed to the top of the movable plate 6. An insertion hole 10 is provided on the limit post 9. A locking mechanism 11 is movably connected inside the first ladder 1. The locking mechanism 11 includes a movable post 1101 and a movable block 1103. The movable post 1101 is slidably connected inside the first ladder 1. The movable post 1101 is in contact with the bottom of the rotating ring 405. The movable column 1101 and the pressing plate 408 are set one-to-one. The bottom of the movable column 1101 is fixed with a push block 1102. The movable block 1103 is slidably connected in the first ladder 1, and the bottom of the movable block 1103 is in contact with the bottom of the push block 1102. After the movable plate 6 is lowered, the rotating ring 405 will rotate with the rotation of the incomplete gear 402. The movable column 1101 moves downward under the pressing action of the pressing plate 408, and the push block 1102 moves downward accordingly, which makes it easier to push open the movable block 1103.
[0040] Furthermore, the movable block 1103 is connected to the first ladder 1 via a compression spring 1104, and a pin 1105 is fixed on the outside of the movable block 1103. The compression spring 1104 wraps around the outside of the pin 1105. After the movable block 1103 is pushed open by the push block 1102, the pin 1105 moves and eventually inserts into the socket 10, which facilitates locking the limit post 9. After the rotating ring 405 rotates, the movable block 1103 will automatically reset under the action of the compression spring 1104.
[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an electric telescopic rod 20 is fixed to the bottom of the second ladder 17, and a third ladder 21 is fixed to the bottom of the electric telescopic rod 20. A second pad 23 is fixed to the bottom of the third ladder 21. The third ladder 21 and the second ladder 17 form a telescopic structure through the electric telescopic rod 20. A sleeve plate 22 is fixed to the bottom of the second ladder 17, and the third ladder 21 passes through the sleeve plate 22. The third ladder 21 can move under the extension of the electric telescopic rod 20, which facilitates the extension of the second ladder 17. The electric telescopic rod 20 can be retracted to fold up the third ladder 21 for easy storage. The sleeve plate 22 plays a supporting and limiting role for the third ladder 21.
[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, a battery pack 24 is fixed inside the first ladder 1, and the battery pack 24 is electrically connected to the first motor 401, the second motor 13 and the electric telescopic rod 20. The battery pack 24 can convert DC power into AC power under the action of the inverter to supply the entire device, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the device.
[0043] Working principle: When using this easy-to-disassemble and maintain movable dock ladder, the second sprocket 14 rotates, thereby driving the rotating shaft 15 to rotate, which in turn drives the second ladder 17. Then, the incomplete gear 402 rotates, first driving the first sprocket 403 to rotate, and the lead screw 404 to rotate, thereby driving the sleeve 5, the moving plate 6, the roller 8, and the limiting post 9 to move downward as a whole. After the roller 8 contacts the ground and pushes up the first pad 2, the insertion hole 10 aligns with the pin 1105. The incomplete gear 402 then drives the rotating ring 405 to rotate, and the movable post 1101 moves downward under the pressure of the pressing plate 408. The movable block 1103 moves under the squeezing action of the push block 1102, and the pin 1105 is inserted into the corresponding socket 10 to lock the movable plate 6. After the device is moved to the desired location by the roller 8, the above operation is repeated in reverse to retract the roller 8 and stabilize the device. At the same time, the second ladder 17 can be rotated down. The third ladder 21 can be moved under the extension action of the electric telescopic rod 20, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the usable length of the third ladder 21 as needed. The second pad block 23 serves as a support for the third ladder 21. The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
