Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of ship gangway technology equipment, and in particular to a ladder with adaptive heights at both ends for a lifting platform. Background Art

[0002] Gangways are passage facilities between ships and the outside world. Passenger ships should be equipped with gangways, and other types of large and medium-sized ships should also be equipped with gangways. Small boats are generally not equipped with gangways. Gangways are generally arranged at the edge of the deck of the lowest side passage on both sides of the ship that is not closed by the hull outer plating. According to the size and use needs of the ship, one gangway is usually installed on each side. Large passenger ships should consider installing two gangways on each side. When a gangway is installed on each side of the ship, it should be located behind the midship of the ship or near the superstructure to facilitate people to get on and off the gangway. The ladder opening can be towards the stern or the bow, but the position of the gangway should be such that after it is lowered, it is in a relatively straight part of the hull outer plating.

[0003] Regarding the above-mentioned related technologies, the inventor believes that after the ship docks, although the gangway is lowered, the platform height changes with the tide under the influence of the tide, and the original gangway steps cannot be adjusted in real time, resulting in poor passage for personnel. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to facilitate the adaptive slope of the ship's gangway under the influence of tidal sway, the present application provides a ladder with adaptive heights at both ends for a lifting platform.

However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.

The ladder frame 1 is a frame-shaped structure, and a ladder step 3 is arranged inside the ladder frame 1, and the ladder step 3 is hinged to the ladder frame 1, and a ladder adjustment component 4 is arranged below the ladder step 3. The ladder adjustment component 4 can drive the ladder step 3 to rotate inside the ladder frame 1 according to the bottom end state of the lifting platform 2 and the ladder frame 1, and self-adaptively adjust the angle of the ladder step 3. A handrail 5 is arranged on the side of the ladder step 3 away from the ladder adjustment component 4, and the handrail 5 can be adjusted according to the angle of the ladder step 3, so as to make the top of the handrail 5 parallel to the ladder step 3.

[0027] The ladder frame 1 is a rectangular frame structure, and the end of the ladder frame 1 that is in contact with the ground is a sliding end 11 , and the end of the ladder frame 1 that is hinged to the lifting platform 2 is a follower end 12 .

[0028] The step platform includes a platform surface 21, and two connecting plates 22 are relatively arranged on one side of the platform surface 21 close to the step frame 1. One end of the connecting plate 22 is fixedly connected to the platform surface 21, and the other end of the connecting plate 22 is hinged to the outer wall of the step frame 1, so that the step surface is relatively hinged to the step frame 1 through the connecting plate 22, and the platform surface 21 can be adjusted in angle with the step frame 1.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 The step 3 is a rectangular plate structure, and a plurality of step steps 3 are equidistantly arranged along the length direction of the step frame 1, and the plurality of step steps 3 are respectively hinged to the step frame 1, and a side wall of the step step 3 is hinged to the step frame 1 on a side close to the sliding end 11 of the step frame 1, and a side wall of the step step 3 is hinged to the step adjustment assembly 4 on a side close to the follower end 12 of the step frame 1.

[0030] The step adjustment assembly 4 includes an adjustment beam 41 located below the step frame 1. The adjustment beam 41 is arranged parallel to the step frame 1. A first adjustment portion 42 is arranged on the side of the adjustment beam 41 close to the step platform, and a second adjustment portion 43 is arranged on the side of the adjustment beam 41 away from the step platform.

[0031] The first adjustment portion 42 has the same structure as the step 3. The side of the first adjustment portion 42 facing away from the platform surface 21 is hinged to the step frame 1, and the side of the first adjustment portion 42 close to the platform surface 21 is hinged to the platform surface 21. The hinge point between the first adjustment portion 42 and the platform surface 21 is also hinged to the end of the adjustment beam 41.

[0035] When the first roller 13 and the second roller 411 fall on the ground, the connecting line of the first roller 13 and the second roller 411 is always parallel to the platform surface 21. When the sliding end 11 of the ladder frame 1 moves toward the side close to the platform surface 21 and the angle between the ladder frame 1 and the bottom wall of the platform surface 21 becomes smaller, the first adjustment part 42 and the second adjustment part 43 are driven to rotate synchronously, so that the first adjustment part 42, the second adjustment part 43 and the ladder step 3 are always parallel to the ladder platform.

[0036] When the sliding end 11 of the ladder frame 1 moves toward the side away from the platform surface 21, the angle between the ladder frame 1 and the bottom wall of the platform surface 21 increases, driving the first adjustment part 42 and the second adjustment part 43 to rotate synchronously, so that the first adjustment part 42, the second adjustment part 43 and the ladder step 3 are always parallel to the ladder platform.

A plurality of auxiliary support vertical beams 53 are provided, and the bottom ends of the plurality of auxiliary support vertical beams 53 are opposite to and relatively fixedly connected to the step 3. The auxiliary support vertical beam 53 is disposed perpendicularly to the step 3, and the auxiliary support vertical beam 53 is disposed parallel to the first support vertical beam 51, and the height of the auxiliary support vertical beam 53 is the same as the height of the first support vertical beam 51.

[0040] A support crossbeam 54 is hingedly provided at the top end of the first support vertical beam 51 , and the other end of the support crossbeam 54 is hingedly provided with the second support vertical beam 52 , and the side wall of the support crossbeam 54 is hingedly provided with the auxiliary support vertical beam 53 , and the support crossbeam 54 is parallel to the ladder frame 1 .
