DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The specific implementation of the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described here is only used to illustrate and explain the present application, and is not used to limit the present application.

[0042] The embodiment of the present application provides a work platform, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it includes a fixed platform 1 and an extension platform 2, the extension platform 2 is embedded in the fixed platform 1 and can reciprocate along the length direction of the platform, the fixed platform 1 includes a first platform base 5 and a first folding base 7 installed on the first platform base 5, the extension platform 2 includes a second platform base 6 and a second folding base 8 installed on the second platform base 6, and the working platform also includes:

[0043] A synchronous connection device 4 for connecting the first folding base 7 of the fixed platform 1 and the second folding base 8 of the extension platform 2;

[0044] The folding locking device 3 is used to support the first folding base 7 and the second folding base 8 upright on the combination consisting of the first platform base 5 and the second platform base 6 in the locked state, and to enable the first folding base 7 and the second folding base 8 to be folded upside down on the combination consisting of the first platform base 5 and the second platform base 6 in the unlocked state.

[0045] Specifically, the work platform in this embodiment is suitable for aerial work equipment, wherein the aerial work equipment includes but is not limited to a scissor-type aerial work platform, a crank-arm aerial work platform, a straight-arm aerial work platform, a vehicle-mounted aerial work platform, a spider-type aerial work platform, and a mast-type aerial work platform. A accommodating space is formed inside the fixed platform 1, and a first opening is formed on one side of the length direction of the accommodating space. The extension platform 2 is embedded in the accommodating space from the first opening position of the accommodating space, and a second opening toward the accommodating space is formed on one side of the length direction of the extension platform 2. A moving track is provided at the bottom of the accommodating space, and the moving track is arranged along the length direction of the fixed platform 1. A moving wheel that can move along the moving track is provided at the bottom of the extension platform 2. When the extension platform 2 moves relative to the fixed platform 1, the overall length of the work platform changes, and the space size inside the fixed platform 1 and the extension platform 2 changes. The above arrangement improves the practicality of the work platform and is conducive to expanding the scope of use of the work platform. Furthermore, the folding locking device 3 is locked or unlocked so that the fixed platform 1 and the extension platform 2 can be folded. When the folding locking device 3 is unlocked, the fixed platform 1 and the extension platform 2 are in a folded state, and the connected first folding base 7 and the second folding base 8 can be folded on the combination composed of the first platform base 5 and the second platform base 6.

On the combination composed of the second platform base 6; the setting of the synchronous connection device 4 allows the operator to change the state of the fixed platform 1 and the extension platform 2 as a whole only by applying force to the fixed platform 1 or the extension platform 2, that is, the fixed platform 1 and the extension platform 2 are simultaneously transformed from the unfolded state to the folded state, or the fixed platform 1 and the extension platform 2 are simultaneously transformed from the folded state to the unfolded state. The above-mentioned working platform is convenient for the operator to stand inside the fixed platform 1 and the extension platform 2 to apply force to change the state of the fixed platform 1 and the extension platform 2, thereby improving the operational convenience of the working platform state conversion, reducing the time consumed in the working platform state conversion, and increasing the user experience of the working platform.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present application, the first folding base 7 and the second folding base 8 both include:

[0047] An upper guardrail module 203, the bottom of which has an upper support rod assembly 204 distributed vertically;

[0048] The connecting rod assembly 202, the top end of the connecting rod assembly 202 is rotatably connected to the upper support rod assembly 204, the bottom end of the connecting rod assembly 202 of the fixed platform 1 is rotatably connected to the top end of the first platform base 5, the bottom end of the connecting rod assembly 202 of the extension platform 2 is rotatably connected to the top end of the second platform base 6, the folding locking device 3 can distribute the connecting rod assembly 202 in the vertical direction in the locked state, and the folding locking device 3 can distribute the connecting rod assembly 202 in the horizontal direction in the unlocked state.

The lower guardrail module 201 includes a plurality of vertical rods 2011, a first cross bar 2012 and a second cross bar 2013, and the plurality of vertical rods 2011 are distributed at the four corners above the first base 101, and the first cross bar 2012 and the second cross bar 2013 are respectively connected at two ends of the vertical rods 2011 on the same longitudinal side; the lower guardrail module 201 also includes a guardrail assembly 2014 arranged on one side in the transverse direction (the transverse direction in this embodiment is consistent with the length direction of the fixed platform 1 and the extension platform 2) and located between the two vertical rods 2011, and the first opening is formed at one end of the first cross bar 2012 and the second cross bar 2013 away from the guardrail assembly 2014. The upper guardrail module 203 also includes an upper frame 205, which includes a longitudinal rod 2051 and a third crossbar 2052 and a fourth crossbar 2053 that are spaced apart and parallel in the longitudinal direction. The two ends of the longitudinal rod 2051 are respectively connected to the third crossbar 2052 and the fourth crossbar 2053. The second opening is formed at one end of the third crossbar 2052 and the fourth crossbar 2053 that is away from the longitudinal rod 2051. The upper support rod assembly 204 is arranged below the upper frame 205. The top and bottom ends of the connecting rod assembly 202 are respectively rotatably connected to the upper guardrail module 203 and the lower guardrail module 201. When the connecting rod assembly 202 is in a vertical state as a whole, the fixed platform 1 and the extension platform 2 are in a non-folded state; if the fixed platform 1 and the extension platform 2 need to be folded, the connecting rod assembly 202 is subjected to force and transformed into a horizontal state. In this case, the height of the work platform is reduced to the same length as the connecting rod assembly 202.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present application, the working platform also includes a first connecting shaft and a second connecting shaft both distributed in the longitudinal direction. The first connecting shaft is used to rotationally connect the bottom end of the connecting rod assembly 202 with the top end of the lower guardrail module 201. The upper support rod assembly 204 is rotationally connected to the top end of the connecting rod assembly 202 for rotationally connecting the upper support rod assembly 204 with the top end of the connecting rod assembly 202. The above arrangement enables the connecting rod assembly 202 to drive the upper guardrail module 203 to change its position in the lateral direction when it rotates.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present application, the upper guardrail module 203 further includes an upper frame 205, the upper support rod assembly 204 includes a plurality of upper support rods 2041 vertically distributed and located at the four corners of the bottom of the upper frame 205, the connecting rod assembly 202 includes a plurality of connecting rods 2021, the top ends of the plurality of connecting rods 2021 are rotatably connected to the plurality of upper support rods 2041 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the folding locking device 3 includes:

[0052] The limiting block 301 is arranged on the side wall of the connecting rod 2021;

[0053] The sliding sleeve 302 is sleeved on the outer side of the upper support rod 2041 and can move along the axial direction of the upper support rod 2041. The sliding sleeve 302 is formed with a limiting groove 303 for part of the limiting block 301 to extend into;

[0054] The locking member 304 is arranged on the sliding sleeve 302 and is used to lock the sliding sleeve 302 at a preset position of the upper support rod 2041. When the sliding sleeve 302 is locked at the preset position, the limit block 301 withdraws from the limit groove 303.

[0055] Specifically, Figure 6-Figure 9 As shown, the limit block 301 is arranged on the longitudinal side wall of the connecting rod 2021, and the limit groove 303 is U-shaped and has a downward opening. When the locking member 304 is not in the preset position, it slides downward along the upper support rod 2041 due to its own weight until part of the limit block 301 is stuck in the limit groove 303, and the sliding sleeve 302 simultaneously clamps the upper support rod 2041 and the connecting rod 2021 to fix the upper guardrail module 203 and the connecting rod assembly 202 together. At this time, even if a lateral pushing force is applied to the upper guardrail module 203 or the connecting rod assembly 202, the connecting rod 2021 cannot rotate, and the connecting rod 2021 is still in a vertical state. , thereby making the fixed platform 1 and the extension platform 2 in an unfolded state; if the operator applies force to move the sliding sleeve 302 to the preset position of the upper support rod 2041 and locks the sliding sleeve 302 and the upper support rod 2041 through the locking piece 304, part of the limit block 301 withdraws from the limit groove 303, the upper support rod 2041 and the connecting rod 2021 can rotate relative to each other, and a lateral pushing force is applied to the upper guardrail module 203 or the connecting rod assembly 202, the connecting rod 2021 can rotate, and the upper guardrail module 203 moves downward while moving laterally, so that the fixed platform 1 and the extension platform 2 are transformed from a unfolded state to a folded state.

[0056] In one embodiment of the present application, the limit block 301 includes an outward-expanding limit portion 3011 and an extending portion 3012 which is arranged on one side of the outward-expanding limit portion 3011 and can extend into the limit groove 303, and the outward-expanding limit portion 3011 is used to limit the distance that the sliding sleeve 302 moves toward the direction close to the connecting rod 2021.

[0057] Specifically, the outward expansion limit portion 3011 is arranged at one end of the insertion portion 3012 away from the upper support rod 2041 and expands outward in a direction away from the insertion portion 3012. When the locking member 304 is not in the preset position, the side of the sliding sleeve 302 close to the limit block 301 is clamped on the outward expansion limit portion 3011, preventing the sliding sleeve 302 from moving too much in the direction of the connecting rod 2021 and disengaging from the upper support rod 2041, thereby ensuring the reliability of the folding locking device 3.

[0058] In one embodiment of the present application, the upper support rod 2041 forms a limiting hole 2042 at a preset position, the sliding sleeve 302 is formed with a connecting hole that can communicate with the limiting hole 2042, and the locking member 304 includes:

[0059] The lock seat portion 3041 is disposed on the sliding sleeve 302 and is perpendicular to the sliding sleeve 302. The lock seat portion 3041 has an accommodating cavity distributed along the axial direction and connected to the connecting hole.

[0060] The handle portion 3042 is arranged on a side of the lock seat portion 3041 away from the sliding sleeve 302;

[0061] The locking pin portion 3043 is movably disposed in the accommodating cavity and connected to the handle portion 3042 . One end of the locking pin portion 3043 away from the handle portion 3042 is formed with a locking end 3044 that can pass through the connecting hole and extend into the limiting hole 2042 .

[0062] Specifically, the operator applies force to the handle portion 3042 to cause the locking pin portion 3043 to move axially along the accommodating cavity, thereby causing the locking end 3044 to extend into the limiting hole 2042 or withdraw from the limiting hole 2042. If the locking end 3044 extends into the limiting hole 2042, the sliding sleeve 302 and the upper support rod 2041 can be locked; if the locking end 3044 withdraws from the limiting hole 2042, the sliding sleeve 302 and the upper support rod 2041 can be unlocked.

[0063] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the locking member 304 also includes a spring portion, and the locking pin portion 3043 includes a connecting rod body and a locking body located at one end of the connecting rod body, the locking end 3044 is formed on the locking body, and the end of the connecting rod body away from the locking body is connected to the handle portion 3042, the outer diameter of the locking body is larger than the outer diameter of the connecting rod body, the spring portion is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the connecting rod body, one end of the spring portion abuts against the side end surface of the locking body, and the other end of the spring portion abuts against the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity; the lock seat portion 3041 is formed with an inclined surface at one end away from the sliding sleeve 302, the handle portion 3042 is plate-shaped and connected to the outer peripheral wall of the locking pin portion 3043, and there is no need to lock When sliding the sleeve 302 and the upper support rod 2041, pull the handle part 3042 outward and rotate it to a preset direction, so that the side wall of the handle part 3042 abuts against the tip position of the locking pin part 3043 away from one end of the sliding sleeve 302, and the spring part is in a compressed state at this time; when it is necessary to lock the sliding sleeve 302 and the upper support rod 2041, move the sliding sleeve 302 to the preset position and rotate the handle part 3042, and the locking pin part 3043 moves axially along the accommodating cavity under the elastic force of the spring part, and the locking end 3044 passes through the connecting hole and extends into the limiting hole 2042, thereby realizing the locking of the sliding sleeve 302 and the upper support rod 2041.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present application, the first platform base 5 and the second platform base 6 both include a lower frame 206 and a plurality of lower support rods 207 vertically distributed at the four corners of the top of the lower frame 206. The lower support rod 207 is provided with a receiving groove 2071 which opens toward one side of the length direction of the fixed platform 1 and the extension platform 2 and can accommodate part of the connecting rod 2021. The end of the connecting rod 2021 away from the lower support rod 207 is rotatably connected to the middle position of the lower support rod 207.

[0065] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lower frame 206 of the first platform base 5 and a plurality of lower support rods 207 vertically distributed at the four corners of the top of the lower frame 206 together constitute the lower guardrail module 201 in the first platform base 5; the lower frame 206 of the second platform base 6 and a plurality of lower support rods 207 vertically distributed at the four corners of the top of the lower frame 206 together constitute the lower guardrail module 201 in the second platform base 6. The lower frame 206 is composed of a plurality of vertical rods 2011, a first cross bar 2012, a second cross bar 2013 and a guardrail assembly 2014. A plurality of lower support rods 207 are respectively arranged at the top ends of the plurality of vertical rods 2011. Some of the lower support rods 207 are fixed (such as welded) to the vertical rods 2011. The openings of the receiving grooves 2071 of the plurality of lower support rods 207 are in the same direction, such as uniformly facing one lateral side. However, when the connecting rod 2021 rotates relative to the lower support rod 207, the connecting rod 2021 can only rotate toward the side where the opening of the receiving groove 2071 is located. When the connecting rod 2021 is in a vertical state, the receiving groove 2071 is The bottom wall of 71 can provide a certain support to the connecting rod 2021, which is beneficial to making the vertical state of the connecting rod 2021 more stable; further, the distance from the rotational connection between the lower support rod 207 and the connecting rod 2021 to the top surface of the lower support rod 207 is consistent with the height of the upper support rod 2041, so that the lower support rod 207 can support the upper guardrail module 203 when the fixed platform 1 and the extension platform 2 are in a folded state, so that the upper guardrail module 203 is in a horizontal state when the fixed platform 1 and the extension platform 2 are in a folded state, thereby ensuring the overall stability of the fixed platform 1 and the extension platform 2 when they are in a folded state.

[0066] In one embodiment of the present application, the synchronous connection device 4 includes:

[0067] A first limiting plate 401 is disposed on the top of the upper frame 205 of the fixed platform 1 or the extension platform 2;

[0068] The second limiting plate 402 is arranged at the bottom of the upper frame 205 where the first limiting plate 401 is located. A limiting slot 403 is formed between the first limiting plate 401 and the second limiting plate 402 and penetrates along the length direction of the fixed platform 1 and the extension platform 2. The limiting slot 303 is used to clamp a part of the upper frame 205 of the other one of the fixed platform 1 and the extension platform 2.

[0069] Specifically, the axial direction of the limit slot 403 is horizontal, the opening of the limit slot 403 faces the longitudinal side, and part of the third cross bar 2052 or the fourth cross bar 2053 in the upper frame 205 passes through the limit slot 403. When the extension platform 2 moves relative to the fixed platform 1, the third cross bar 2052 or the fourth cross bar 2053 moves relative to the limit slot 403. When the state of the fixed platform 1 or the extension platform 2 changes, the operator only needs to apply force to one of the fixed platform 1 or the extension platform 2, and the first limit plate 401 and / or the second limit plate 402 can apply force to the other of the fixed platform 1 or the extension platform 2 to drive the other of the fixed platform 1 or the extension platform 2 to change the state accordingly. The above-mentioned synchronous connection device 4 has a simple structure and can play a good synchronization role in the movement change of the fixed platform 1 or the extension platform 2.

[0070] In one embodiment of the present application, the number of synchronous connection devices 4 is four, among which two synchronous connection devices 4 are respectively arranged on the third cross bar 2052 and the fourth cross bar 2053 of the fixed platform 1, and the openings of the limit slots 403 of the above two synchronous connection devices 4 are facing the extension platform 2; the other two synchronous connection devices 4 are respectively arranged on the third cross bar 2052 and the fourth cross bar 2053 of the extension platform 2, and the openings of the limit slots 403 of the above two synchronous connection devices 4 are facing the fixed platform 1. The above arrangement further enhances the movement stability and synchronization of the fixed platform 1 and the extension platform 2.

[0071] In one embodiment of the present application, the synchronous connection device 4 further includes:

[0072] A first protective pad 404 is disposed below the first limiting plate 401 and is used to protect the top surface of the upper frame 205;

[0073] The second protection pad 405 is disposed above the second limiting plate 402 and is used to protect the bottom surface of the upper frame 205 .

[0074] Specifically, the first protective pad 404 and the second protective pad 405 in the present embodiment are both made of nylon. The first protective pad 404 and the second protective pad 405 made of the above material can protect the upper frame 205 when the extension platform 2 moves; further, in order to further prevent the third cross bar 2052 and the fourth cross bar 2053 of the upper frame 205 from being scratched when the extension platform 2 moves, a protective coating can be provided on the outer surface of the upper frame 205.

[0075] In one embodiment of the present application, there are multiple folding and locking devices 3 , and the multiple folding and locking devices 3 include a first folding and locking device arranged on the fixed platform 1 and a second folding and locking device arranged on the extension platform 2 .

[0076] Specifically, a gap is formed between the two longitudinal sides of the extension platform 2 and the fixed platform 1. This arrangement is conducive to improving the smoothness of the lateral movement of the extension platform 2; the first folding locking device and the second folding locking device are arranged on the same lateral side, which is convenient for the operator to simultaneously unlock the upper support rod 2041 and the connecting rod 2021 of the fixed platform 1 and the extension platform 2, thereby improving the operational convenience of the state change of the fixed platform 1 and the extension platform 2.
