[0021] In order to facilitate understanding of the present application, the present application will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant drawings. Embodiments of the present application are provided in the drawings. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present application more thorough and comprehensive.

[0022] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.

[0023] Combination Figure 2-4 As shown, a height-adjustable and foldable secondary step structure comprises:

[0024] The mounting bracket 1 is the main supporting part of the entire structure, and is generally configured as a rectangular frame structure with one side open;

[0025] Step 2, a flat plate arranged at the bottom of the mounting bracket 1 and movably connected to the bottom end of the mounting bracket 1;

[0026] The inclined rod 3 is arranged between the mounting bracket 1 and the step 2 and is fixedly connected to the two, and plays the functions of supporting and storing at the same time;

[0027] The height adjustment components 4 are arranged on both sides of the mounting bracket 1 to adjust the height of the entire mounting bracket 1, thereby enhancing its scope of application and further improving its convenience.

[0028] Embodiment 1:

[0029] Specifically, the height adjustment component 4 includes connecting plates 41 arranged on both sides of the mounting bracket 1. The two connecting plates 41 are fixedly connected to the vehicle body, and a plurality of plug holes 42 are vertically arranged on the connecting plates 41. At the same time, the mounting bracket 1 is also correspondingly arranged with a plurality of through holes. The plug holes 42 and the through holes are arranged in alignment, and anchor rods are transversely arranged on the connecting plates 41 so as to pass through the connecting plates 41 and the mounting bracket 1 transversely in sequence, thereby fixing the two together. To prevent the anchor rods from slipping out, threads should be set at both ends thereof respectively, and locking nuts should be provided on the threads to reinforce them with the bolt structure.

[0030] Based on the above bolt locking structure, the height adjustment of the step 2 can be achieved in this embodiment, and the operation is simple and easy to understand.

[0031] In addition, in order to accommodate the step 2 inside the mounting bracket 1, the inclined rod 3 should be set as a telescopically adjustable hydraulic rod, and at the same time, hinge seats are respectively provided on both sides of the surface of the mounting bracket 1, and hinge joints are provided at both ends of the hydraulic rod, and one end is movably connected to the hinge seat;

[0032] One end of the step 2 is arranged close to the bottom end of the mounting bracket 1, and an insertion shaft 11 is longitudinally inserted through the bottom end of the mounting bracket 1. The insertion shaft 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the step 2, so that the step 2 can deflect upward to the inside of the mounting bracket 1 along with the insertion shaft 11. The other end of the step 2 away from the mounting bracket 1 is provided with two support angles 21, and a pin shaft 22 is longitudinally penetrated inside the support angle 21. The other end of the hydraulic rod is movably sleeved on the pin shaft 22.

[0033] Combined with the installation structure of the above-mentioned step 2 and the hydraulic rod, in this embodiment, the step 2 can be retracted and unfolded only by controlling the extension and retraction of the hydraulic rod. Relying on the folding effect and the height adjustment function, the above structure can meet the universal requirements of the ground height of the second-level step 2 of the same cab matching different structural chassis, thereby improving the universal level of parts, enhancing the universal degree of products, and greatly reducing the design burden of designers.

[0034] At the same time, considering the anti-skid effect on rainy and snowy days, a rubber pad should be provided on the surface of the step 2, and a wavy anti-skid pattern should be provided on the rubber pad.

[0035] Embodiment 2:

[0036] Specifically, the height adjustment component 4 includes a clamping plate 43 arranged on both sides of the mounting frame, and a slide groove 44 is vertically arranged on the surface of the clamping plate 43. At the same time, protrusions are arranged outward on both sides of the mounting bracket 1, and the protrusions are movably inserted in the slide groove 44. A support plate 47 is also provided on the top of the clamping plate 43. A threaded rod 46 is provided in the slide groove 44 and extends upward to the inside of the support plate 47 and is rotatably connected to the support plate 47. A threaded hole that is compatible with the threaded rod 46 is also vertically arranged on the protruding portion. Therefore, the entire mounting bracket 1 can be forced to move up and down by relying on threaded transmission.

[0037] In order to ensure that the two threaded rods 46 rotate at the same time and are not affected by the outside world, a worm wheel 49 and worm 48 structure with a self-locking function is adopted, that is, the interior of the support plate 47 is set to be hollow, and the top end of the threaded rod 46 extends to the interior of the support plate 47 and a worm wheel 49 is set. At the same time, a worm 48 is arranged horizontally inside the support plate 47. The worm 48 is meshed with the two turbines at the same time, and a drive motor 45 is provided at one end of the worm 48, so that it is connected to the worm 48 for transmission, and then the height adjustment effect is achieved through remote control.

[0038] In actual use, the support plate 47 can also be used as a step, so an anti-skid convex structure should be arranged on its top surface to enhance its anti-skid function, so that the staff can use it more safely and conveniently when entering and exiting the car door.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solution recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solution from the technical solution of the embodiments of the utility model.
