[0022] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0023] like Figure 1 、 2 , 6, which show three states of the scaffolding disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0024] exist Figure 1 In the state shown in FIG, the scaffold is not deployed at this time. When the scaffold is moved or stored or when the height does not need to be adjusted at a high position, the scaffold can be adjusted to this state.

[0025] In this state, the telescopic ladder 3 is retracted together, wherein the telescopic ladder 3 includes a first telescopic section 31 and a second telescopic section 32, the first telescopic section 31 is arranged on one side of the width direction of the upper frame 1, and the second telescopic section 32 is arranged on one side of the width direction of the lower frame 2, and the first telescopic section 31 and the second telescopic section 32 are slidably connected together.

[0026] The first telescopic section 31 has a guide rail structure on one side close to the second telescopic section 32. The second telescopic section 32 is nested with the first telescopic section 31 using the guide rail structure. Under the constraint of the first telescopic section 31, the second telescopic section 32 can move along the length direction of the first telescopic section 31 to adapt to the scaffolding lifting process and facilitate user use.

[0027] exist Figure 2 In the state shown in , the upper frame 1 is raised to a certain height, the folding support structure 4 is unfolded to a certain angle, and the height of the folding support structure 4 is adjusted so that the folding support structure 4 contacts the ground to support the scaffolding.

[0028] Among them, the lower frame 2 includes a base 21, four vertically arranged sleeves 22 are provided around the top of the base 21, and a connecting rod 23 is provided between the two sleeves 22 in the length direction of the base 21. The upper frame 1 includes a platform 11, and four vertically arranged plug rods 12 are provided around the bottom of the platform 11. The plug rods 12 are inserted into the inside of the sleeve 22, and the plug rods 12 can move along the length direction of the sleeve 22.

[0029] When adjusting the height of the scaffolding, a second lifting mechanism 5 is used, which uses existing technology. In this embodiment, an existing scissors frame lifting mechanism is used. The second lifting mechanism 5 is respectively connected to the base 21 of the lower frame 2 and the platform 11 of the upper frame 1. The height of the upper frame 1 is adjusted under the drive of the second lifting mechanism 5.

[0030] In the process of adjusting the height of the scaffolding, it is also necessary to support the corresponding posture according to the height of the scaffolding.

[0031] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the folding support structure 4 includes a sleeve 41 arranged on the outside of the sleeve 22, and a folding arm 43 connected to the sleeve 41, wherein the folding arm 43 is folded along one side in the width direction of the lower frame 2, and also includes a first lifting mechanism 42, wherein the sleeve 41 is slidably connected to the sleeve 22, and a cross bar 421 is connected between the two sleeves 41 in the length direction of the base 21, the first lifting mechanism 42 is installed on the base 21, and the lifting output end of the first lifting mechanism 42 is connected to the cross bar 421, and the folding arm 43 includes a mounting seat 431 connected to the sleeve 41, the mounting seat 431 is hinged with a first support section 432, and the interior of the first support section 432 is connected with a second support section 433 movably connected thereto, wherein a second hydraulic rod 434 is hinged between the first support section 432 and the mounting seat 431, and a third hydraulic rod 435 is hinged between the first support section 432 and the second support section 433.

[0032] After the height of the scaffold is raised, the second hydraulic rod 434 extends to unfold the first support section 432 and the second support section 433. At the same time, the third hydraulic rod 435 extends to drive the second support section 433 to contact the ground to form support.

[0033] The above-mentioned support process also includes: after the height of the scaffolding changes, the first lifting mechanism 42 drives the sliding sleeve 41 to adjust the height, so as to adjust the support position of the folding support structure 4 on the scaffolding, so as to keep the support position adjusted according to the increase of the center of gravity after the center of gravity of the scaffolding changes, thereby achieving a better support effect for the scaffolding and avoiding the problem of overturning.

[0034] In the above process, after the height of the scaffolding changes, the second hydraulic rod 434 extends to push the crossbar 421 to drive the sliding sleeve 41 to run along the surface of the casing 22, thereby adjusting the height of the folding support structure 4. At the same time, the third hydraulic rod 435 continues to extend, driving the second support section 433 to contact the ground to form a support. Figure 6 As shown, after the height of the scaffolding is further adjusted, the folding support structure 4 forms a new support posture with the ground to keep the scaffolding stable in use.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, a spherical support foot 436 is provided on the side of the second support section 433 away from the first support section 432. The support foot 436 is made of rubber and is used to enhance the friction between the ground and improve the support effect.

[0036] like Figure 3 and 7 As shown, the control component 6 includes a shell 61 installed on the connecting rod 23, the outside of the shell 61 has a display screen 62, a microphone 65 and a function button 63, and the inside of the shell 61 is provided with a level sensor 64 and a controller 66, wherein the controller 66 is respectively communicated with the display screen 62, the microphone 65, the function button 63 and the level sensor 64.

[0037] The control component 6 is used for the user to adjust the posture of the scaffold through the function keys 63 or the microphone 65.

[0038] When using the function button 63 to adjust the posture of the scaffolding, the user inputs an adjustment instruction, such as an raising instruction or a lowering instruction, through the function button 63. The controller 66 controls the operation of the first hydraulic rod 422, the second hydraulic rod 434, the third hydraulic rod 435, and the second lifting mechanism 5 according to the adjustment instruction input by the function button 63 to adjust the posture of the scaffolding.

[0039] When using the microphone 65 to adjust the posture of the scaffold, the user inputs voice adjustment instructions through the microphone 65, such as raising instructions and lowering instructions. The controller 66 controls the operation of the first hydraulic rod 422, the second hydraulic rod 434, the third hydraulic rod 435, and the second lifting mechanism 5 according to the voice adjustment instructions collected by the microphone 65 to adjust the posture of the scaffold.

[0040] The control component 6 is also used to automatically adjust the posture of the scaffolding according to the data collected by the horizontal sensor 64. When it is detected that the position of the scaffolding is not horizontal, the controller 66 adjusts the first hydraulic rod 422, the second hydraulic rod 434, and the third hydraulic pressure of the four folding support structures 4 distributed on the outside of the scaffolding, so that the scaffolding can maintain the level of the scaffolding while maintaining the adjusted height.

[0041] The adjustment method for maintaining the levelness includes adjusting the unfolding posture of the four folding support structures 4 and the height of the folding support structures 4 respectively, so that the scaffolding is kept in a horizontal state.

[0042] When the scaffold cannot be adjusted to a horizontal state, the controller 66 adjusts the scaffold to Figure 1 In the state shown, a warning message is output on the display screen 62, and the height adjustment operation is prohibited to avoid the scaffolding from overturning.

[0043] The controller 66 can control the folding support structures 4 to synchronously adjust the posture and height of the same structure or independently adjust the posture and height of a single folding support structure 4 .

[0044] The controller 66 adjusts the posture of the folding support structure 4 by controlling the extension amount of the second hydraulic rod 434 and the third hydraulic rod 435 . The controller 66 adjusts the height of the folding support structure 4 by controlling the extension amount of the first hydraulic rod 422 .

[0045] A scaffolding management system, comprising: A first management module is used to obtain horizontal state data of the scaffold, and to control the folding support structure 4 to adjust the horizontal state of the scaffold according to the obtained data; The second management module is used to receive user instructions and control the second lifting mechanism 5 and the folding support structure 4 to adjust the scaffold to a corresponding posture according to the user's instructions; Among them, the first management module can adjust the folding support structure 4 to fold into different angles and adjust the height of the folding support structure 4, the second management module can adjust the folding support structure 4 to unfold or fold into different angles and adjust the height of the folding support structure 4; and, adjust the second lifting mechanism 5 to drive the upper frame 1 to different heights.

[0046] The first management module and the second management module are set in the controller 66. The user can save the current height data. After saving, when using it again, the second management module inputs instructions through the function button 63 or the microphone 65. The second management module controls the scaffolding according to the saved height data (the data of the second lifting mechanism 5, the height and posture of the folding support structure 4), and automatically restores it to the state when it was saved, thereby improving the convenience of use.

[0047] It should be noted that the specific models and specifications of the first hydraulic rod 422, the second hydraulic rod 434, the third hydraulic rod 435, the second lifting mechanism 5, the display screen 62, the function buttons 63, the level sensor 64, the pickup 65 and the controller 66 need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device.
