However, the ladder disclosed therein is only applicable to the outside of the tank body and cannot be applied to the inside of the tank body. The existing ladder inside the tank body is a welded ladder. When the tank truck is in motion, the ladder will be impacted by the liquid inside the tank body, which is prone to stress concentration and may lead to the risk of cracking of the tank structure. Utility model content:

[0037] The clamping claw 14 includes a first clamping claw 141 and a second clamping claw 142, the first clamping claw 141 and the second clamping claw 142 are symmetrically arranged, the first clamping claw 141 and the second clamping claw 142 are both rotatably connected to the fixed plate 13 via the first rotating shaft 16, the first clamping claw 141 is provided with a first movable plate 1411 via the second rotating shaft 17, the second clamping claw 142 is provided with a second movable plate 1421 via the second rotating shaft 17, the first movable plate 1411 and the second movable plate 1421 are rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 17 respectively;
[0038] The first movable plate 1411 and the second movable plate 1421 are staggered, and the second movable plate 1421 is placed on the outside of the first movable plate 1411. The first movable plate 1411 and the second movable plate 1421 are movably connected with the movable latch 15. A limiting column 151 is fixedly provided on the surface of the movable latch 15. The position of the limiting column 151 is lower than the second rotating shaft 17. The limiting column 151 passes through the first movable plate 1411 and the second movable plate 1421 in sequence and is rotatably connected with the first movable plate 1411 and the second movable plate 1421.
[0039] The top of the tank body 3 is provided with a guardrail and a manhole cover, and the vertical support rod 1 is connected to the outer edge of the guardrail or the manhole cover by a snap-fit assembly; the man-protection cover is square or round, and its size is also different. In order to meet different needs, as a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the snap-fit assembly is arranged to be rotatably connected with the outer platform 11, and the outer platform 11 is rotatably connected with the support seat 12 through a rotating shaft. As a preferred embodiment, a locking hole to prevent the pin shaft can also be opened between the outer platform 11 and the support seat 12, and the locking hole is used to snap the outer platform 11 with the support seat 12 to prevent the snap-fit assembly from rotating when not in use;
[0040] Compared with the existing design of setting ladders both outside and inside the tank body of a tank truck, this structure has a complex process, a large welding workload, a high manufacturing cost, and is difficult to repair; and fixed and welded ladders are prone to damage over a long period of time and are difficult to replace and repair, especially welded ladders inside the tank, which are easily impacted by the liquid inside the tank body, causing stress concentration and potential cracking of the tank body structure;
[0041] The utility model can meet the needs of workers for use outside and inside the tank body 3, reduces the installation and welding of multiple ladders in the tank truck, avoids welding operations, and increases the service life of the tank truck; and there is no fixed ladder in the tank truck, which reduces the number of unrelated personnel climbing onto the top of the tank body 3 and entering the inside of the tank body 3, thereby improving the overall safety of the tank truck.
[0042] It should be noted that the utility model is a portable folding ladder device.
[0043] When the staff needs to climb onto the tank body 3, they first unfold the transverse support rod 2, and then hang the clamping assembly behind the vertical support rod 1 on the outer edge of the safety rail. When the staff climbs, the clamping assembly will be clamped and clamped with the outer edge of the safety rail by force. The principle is as follows: when the movable latch 15 is pressed by an external force, the movable latch 15 moves into the groove 121, thereby squeezing the compression spring 122. In the process of the limit column 151 moving with the movable latch 15, since the position of the limit column 151 is lower than the second rotating shaft 17, the first clamping claw 141 and the second clamping claw 142 are driven to move outward with the first rotating shaft 16 as the center of the circle, and move inward with the end close to the support seat 12 and the end away from the support seat 12. The clamping claw 14 contacts the outer edge of the safety rail, thereby achieving a clamping effect. With this structure, the greater the pressing force on the movable latch 15, the tighter the clamping effect of the first clamping claw 141 and the second clamping claw 142 will be.
[0044] When the staff climbs up the tank body 3 and stops applying force to the ladder, the clamping assembly will cancel the clamping. The principle is as follows: when the movable latch 15 is no longer subjected to force, the compression spring 122 pushes the movable latch 15 outward. As the limit column 151 moves with the movable latch 15, the first claw 141 and the second claw 142 move inward with the first rotating shaft 16 as the center, close to the support seat 12, and move outward away from the support seat 12. The first claw 141 and the second claw 142 will no longer contact the outer edge of the safety railing, thereby canceling the clamping effect.
[0045] When the staff needs to enter the tank body 3 to work, they open the cover of the human defense cover above the tank body 3, and hang the locking assembly behind the vertical support rod 1 on the outer edge of the manhole cover. The lower end of the vertical support rod 1 contacts the bottom of the tank body 3. When the staff climbs, the locking assembly will be subjected to force and clamped with the outer edge of the manhole cover. The principle is the same as above.
[0046] The above shows and describes the basic principle and main features of the utility model and the advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected. The scope of protection claimed by the utility model is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
