DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a boarding ladder to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art. The main body is made of carbon fiber material and is light in weight; the overall structure is simple and easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0033] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] The inventors know of a boarding ladder for surface ships, the main body of which is made of steel or aluminum, which is heavy, difficult to carry and maintain in daily use, and inconvenient to use. Since carbon fiber composite materials are light in weight, have good mechanical properties, and excellent corrosion resistance, in addition to these, carbon fiber composite materials also have excellent properties such as oil resistance and radiation resistance, they are very suitable for the performance requirements of ship equipment materials. Based on this, the inventors propose a boarding ladder, such as Figures 1 to 8 As shown, its structure includes a boarding ladder body 1, a lap joint and a movable pedal 7. The boarding ladder body 1 includes a stepping part and a main ladder frame 2 made of carbon fiber material. The stepping part is laid on the main ladder frame 2, and the stepping part and the main ladder frame 2 can be disassembled; the lap joint is installed at the bottom of both ends of the main ladder frame 2, and is used to overlap the deck and the dock respectively; one end of the movable pedal 7 is connected to the side of the lap joint away from the main ladder frame 2, and the other end can be placed on the deck or the dock; the foldable and detachable movable pedal 7 is convenient for people to get on and off the ladder from the deck or the dock ground. The boarding ladder body 1 is made of carbon fiber composite material. On the premise of meeting the strength, the overall weight is greatly reduced. One end of it is placed on the dock and the other end is placed on the deck. It can be used as a passage for people to get on and off the ship when the ship is docked at the dock. For the height difference between different ports and the hull, the boarding ladder of this embodiment has an adjustable angle. By adjusting different use angles, it can meet the use of different height differences within a certain range.

[0035] In one embodiment, the overlapped portion adopts a detachable and movable structure, so the overlapped portion in this embodiment adopts a wheel frame 6, which is fixed to both ends of the main ladder frame 2 by a mixed connection method of adhesive and bolts, and a wheel frame roller 19 is provided at the bottom of the wheel frame 6, and the wheel frame roller 19 can be set on the deck or the dock. Since there is generally a height difference between the deck and the dock, in order to adapt to the height difference between the two, the movable pedals 7 at both ends of the main ladder frame 2 can be respectively set on the deck and the dock, so the movable pedals 7 of this embodiment are movably arranged on the outside of the wheel frame 6 in an angle-adjustable manner. In one of the embodiments, a movable pedal ear 22 is provided at one end of the movable pedal 7, and a movable pedal roller 20 is provided at the bottom of the other end; a wheel frame ear 23 is fixedly provided on the outer side of the wheel frame 6, and the movable pedal ear 22 is movably connected with the corresponding wheel frame ear 23 through a pin shaft 13, so that the movable pedal 7 can rotate around the pin shaft 13, thereby adjusting its angle; a pedal portion is also provided on the movable pedal 7, and the pedal portion includes a grille pedal and an anti-slip strip. In this embodiment, the pedal portion on the movable pedal 7 is the first pedal portion, and its grille pedal and anti-slip strip are the first grille pedal 9 and the first anti-slip strip 8; the pedal portion on the main ladder frame 2 is the second pedal portion, and its grille pedal and anti-slip strip are the second grille pedal 11 and the second anti-slip strip 10. The grille pedal adopts a structure with grille holes, which reduces the overall weight, and there is no water accumulation on its surface. When the ambient temperature is low, ice will not form on the grille pedal, and it cooperates with the anti-slip strip to improve the anti-slip performance.

[0036] In one embodiment, the main ladder frame 2 is a Japanese-shaped frame structure, which further reduces its overall weight compared with the overall plate-shaped structure.

For the safety of personnel boarding and disembarking, handrails 5 are provided on both sides of the boarding ladder body 1 in this embodiment. The handrails 5 include handrails 16 made of carbon fiber tubes, and multiple tapered pins 17 are fixed at the bottom of the handrails 16.

[0037] In this embodiment, a C-shaped beam 3 made of carbon fiber is provided on the main ladder frame 2. The C-shaped beam 3 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the stepping part, and a carrying handle 12 is fixedly provided in the groove on the inner side of the C-shaped beam 3. The carrying handle 12 is designed to be hidden, which is simple and space-saving, and is convenient for personnel to carry and set up the boarding ladder between the deck and the dock. A handrail seat 4 is provided on the C-shaped beam 3. The handrail seat 4 includes a plurality of conical hole seats 15 vertically arranged in the C-shaped beam 3, and the conical pin 17 can be inserted into the corresponding conical hole seat 15. The main components of the main ladder frame 2, handrail 16, movable pedal 7 and the like of the present invention are made of carbon fiber composite materials. On the premise of meeting the strength requirements, the overall weight is greatly reduced, which can solve the problem that steel or aluminum boarding ladders are too heavy to be set up and transported.

When disassembling, the operation can be reversed, which simplifies the disassembly and assembly steps.

[0039] When in use, the movable pedals 7 at both ends of the boarding ladder of the present invention are placed on the dock at one end and on the deck at the other end. The movable pedals 7 can be appropriately adjusted according to the need of the tilt angle until they can be fixed horizontally to meet different use conditions. The head and tail ends of the handrails 5 are connected to the side railings of the ship through rope chains to ensure the safety of personnel. When the boarding ladder is not in use, it can be fastened to the side wall of the ship passage through the eye ring on the ladder frame using a shelf, rope, etc.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, in order to ensure that the handrail 5 can be firmly fixed on both sides of the boarding ladder body 1 after installation to avoid falling during use, a handrail upper seat 14 is provided on the top of the C-shaped beam 3 in this embodiment. The handrail upper seat 14 is provided with a vertical through hole, and the handrail upper seat 14 is located at the top of the conical hole seat 15. The conical pin 17 passes through the handrail upper seat 14 and is inserted into the conical hole seat 15; a positioning hole is provided on the upper side wall of the conical pin 17, and a pin hole is provided on the side wall of the handrail upper seat 14. The pin hole is used to pass a handrail quick-release pin 18. The end of the handrail quick-release pin 18 can pass through the pin hole and abut against the positioning hole. The use of the handrail quick-release pin 18 can ensure the safety of people going up and down the ladder. It can be quickly disassembled for transportation or storage, which is convenient for transportation and maintenance.

[0041] The present invention makes full use of carbon fiber composite materials in material selection. In one embodiment, the carbon fiber composite material adopts carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin composite material, which is corrosion-resistant, aging-resistant, and has good mechanical toughness. It can be used for a long time in a marine environment to achieve the goal of lightweight. The wheel frame 6 and the like are made of aluminum alloy materials, and their surfaces are treated by oxidation passivation to meet the anti-corrosion requirements. The pin shaft 13, the handrail quick-release pin 18 and the like are made of stainless steel materials to enhance the anti-corrosion performance of the device. The parts of the metal parts such as the pin shaft 13, the handrail quick-release pin 18, the wheel frame 6, etc. that may contact with the carbon fiber composite material parts are coated and isolated with insulating glass fiber cloth to avoid the occurrence of electrochemical corrosion.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the first anti-slip strip 8 and the second anti-slip strip 10 are both made of hollow aluminum structure, and the outer top of the first anti-slip strip 8 and the second anti-slip strip 10 is provided with a serrated arc surface, which not only improves the anti-slip effect, but also reduces the weight, and also ensures the comfort of personnel when stepping from the upper and lower directions. In this embodiment, the bottom of the main ladder frame 2 has a dovetail groove arranged along the length direction of the main ladder frame 2, and a nylon protective plate 21 is clamped in the dovetail groove, which plays a protective role when the ship's side collides with the bottom of the sun-shaped main ladder frame 2.

[0043] The boarding ladder of the present invention is simple and quick to disassemble and assemble. During installation, the main ladder frame 2 is installed on the wheel frame 6. During the installation process, it is necessary to support the middle part of the main ladder frame 2 to prevent deflection. After the main ladder frame 2 is installed, it is cooperated with the wheel frame 6 to punch holes. The main ladder frame 2 and the wheel frame 6 are connected by a mixed connection method of adhesive bonding and bolts, which is more firmly connected and convenient for disassembly and assembly. The two ends of the wheel frame 6 are connected with movable pedals 7. The second grid pedal 11 is assembled on the main ladder frame 2. The second grid pedal 11 and the main ladder frame 2 are glued. The C-shaped beam 3 is installed on both sides of the second grid pedal 11, and the railing seat 4 is assembled and bonded into the C-shaped beam 3. The C-shaped beam 3 and the second grid pedal 11 are glued; a hole is opened on the flange of the C-shaped beam 3 where the railing seat 4 needs to be assembled, and the hole position must be accurate. During the assembly process of the railing seat 4, the handrail quick release pin 18 is used to assist in positioning to ensure that the railing and the boarding ladder body 1 are well matched after the assembly is completed. The railing seat 4 and the C-shaped beam 3 are connected by a mixed connection of adhesive bonding and bolts. Then, the second anti-slip strip 10 is installed. During the installation, buckles are used to increase the bonding area and connection strength between the second anti-slip strip 10 and the second grille pedal 11 .

[0044] The boarding ladder provided by the present invention adopts lightweight and high-strength carbon fiber composite materials as the manufacturing material of the boarding ladder main body 1 structure, while ensuring the load-bearing capacity and strength of the boarding ladder. At the same time, the safety requirements and environmental requirements for composite materials on board ships are taken into consideration, thereby achieving the purpose of lightweight structure. There is no water accumulation on the surface of the second grid pedal 11. When the ambient temperature is low, ice will not form on the second grid pedal 11, which improves the anti-slip property and reduces the overall weight. Removable handrails 5 are provided on both sides of the boarding ladder main body 1 to ensure the safety of personnel while facilitating transportation and maintenance. The wheel frame rollers 19 and movable pedal rollers 20 are made of non-metallic materials to prevent damage to the deck paint during displacement.
