DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0017] Example 1: Reference Figure 1The present embodiment provides a car tailgate ladder pedal, comprising a retractable ladder 1, a connecting device 2 and a fixing device 3, wherein the upper end of the retractable ladder 1 is connected to the fixing device 3 through the connecting device 2, and the fixing device 3 is arranged horizontally and detachably connected to the tailgate through a magnetic device; the retractable ladder 1 is a multi-stage slide rail telescopic structure, comprising at least two steps of ladder sections that are nested and slid with each other, which can be folded and stored or stretched and opened, and can be leaned against the tailgate of a pickup truck; the connecting device 2 is a ratchet mechanism, which is used to adjust the angle between the retractable ladder 1 and the fixing device 3, ranging from 0 to 180°; the fixing device 3 is detachably connected to the tailgate through a magnetic device 4, and the magnetic device has a switch for controlling the on and off of the magnetic force; the fixing device 3 adopts an H-shaped fixing frame.

[0018] When using this embodiment, unfold the retractable ladder and adjust the fixing device 3 to a horizontal position. Turn on the magnetic device 4 with a control switch to firmly fix the fixing device on the tailgate / carriage made of metal iron. Turn off the switch to eliminate the magnetic force, and the fixing device can be easily separated from it. In addition, the connecting device can adjust the angle, and the folding function is realized at 0°. When a certain angle is displayed, it is used to adapt to tailgates of different models and heights.

[0019] In this embodiment, the fixing device 3 is adsorbed on the tailgate by a magnetic device 4 with a control switch, without drilling or welding on the vehicle body, to avoid damage to the vehicle structure; the retractable ladder 1 and the fixing device 3 can be quickly disassembled and stored, which is convenient for carrying and storage and suitable for a variety of usage scenarios; the angle of the retractable ladder 1 is adjustable, which is suitable for climbing needs at different heights (such as the trunk or roof). The fixing device 3 adopts an H-shaped fixing frame to ensure the stability of the ladder when in use. The magnetic device 4 with a control switch provides a strong adsorption force to ensure that the ladder pedal will not loosen or fall off during the climbing process. The connecting device 2 adopts a ratchet structure, which is convenient for users to quickly adjust the angle of the ladder to meet different usage needs. The ladder can be folded and stored, taking up little space, and is easy to store in the car or tailgate.

[0020] Example 2: Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5In this embodiment, a handrail 5 is added on the basis of embodiment 1. A detachable handrail 5 is provided on the outer side of the connecting device 2, and the handrail 5 is fixed to the connecting port 21 by a latch 22; the handrail 5 includes a vertical support rod 6, a pin 7 and a horizontal support rod 8, and the vertical support rod 6 is rotatably hinged at the notch at one end of the horizontal support rod 8 by the pin 7, and the rotatable angle is 0-90°, and when the angle is 0 degree, it is in a folded state; a J-shaped hook 9 is provided at the other end of the horizontal support rod 8, and the J-shaped hook 9 is buckled with the side of the tailgate and locked and fixed by a nut 10; the connecting port 21 is rotatably arranged on the outer side of the connecting device 2, and the handrail 5 is parallel to the retractable ladder 1 when folded and stored.

[0021] When the handrail of this embodiment is used, the pin shaft 7 is released to unfold the vertical support rod 6 and the horizontal support rod 8. When rotated to 90°, the vertical support rod 6 is stuck in the notch of the horizontal support rod 8 and cannot be rotated further, and the locking pin shaft can be used as a handrail; when rotated to 0°, it is folded and stored, and then the folded handrail 5 is passed through the rotatable connection port to be parallel to the folded fixing device and the telescopic ladder, realizing the folding and storage function, saving space, and the design of the handrail significantly improves the safety, stability and user experience of the ladder pedal.

[0022] Example 3: Reference Figure 3 This embodiment is improved on the basis of the embodiment 1. The fixing device 3 of this embodiment adopts an H-shaped fixing frame. When the telescopic ladder 1 and the axis of the fixing device 3 are 180 degrees, the H-shaped fixing frame and the telescopic ladder 1 form a continuous extended support structure. That is, it serves as an extended ladder for climbing to a higher position such as a car roof.

[0023] The above shows and describes the basic principles and main features of the present invention and the advantages of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the present invention to be protected. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
