[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, a combined ladder of the utility model comprises a main ladder 1 and a secondary ladder 2 mounted on the main ladder 1, both the main ladder 1 and the secondary ladder 2 comprise two ladder columns 3 and a plurality of pedals 4 mounted between the two ladder columns 3, the pedals 4 comprise a support plate 41, the two ends of the support plate 41 are respectively fixedly connected to the two ladder columns 3, the ladder columns 3 comprise an inner side surface 31 and an outer side surface 32, when in use, the inner side surface 31 is located on the side close to the wall, and the support plate 41 is inclined from the inner side surface 31 to the outer side surface 32 and arranged toward the bottom of the ladder column. When the user uses it, it can provide the user with a wider support area, reduce the pressure feeling of the soles of the feet, and improve the user's comfort and use experience.
[0035] In this embodiment, the pedal 4 also includes a support rod 42, which is fixedly connected to the support plate 41, and the two ends of the support rod 42 are respectively fixedly connected to the two ladder columns 3, thereby enhancing the strength of the pedal 4 and enabling the pedal 4 to provide a stronger supporting force.
[0036] In this embodiment, a through hole 33 is provided at the position of the ladder column 3 corresponding to the support rod 42, and both ends of the support rod 42 are inserted into the through hole 33. Both ends of the support rod 42 are provided with a limit ring 421, and the limit ring 421 includes a limit surface 422. The limit surface 422 of the limit ring 421 is in contact with the outer side surface 32 of the ladder column 3. By providing the limit ring 421, the axial movement of the support rod 42 is limited. In this embodiment, a guide surface 423 is provided at the outer end of the limit ring 421. During assembly, it is only necessary to force the limit ring 421 of the support rod 42 into the through hole 33 of the ladder column 3, and the installation is simple, convenient and quick. In some other embodiments, the fixed connection between the support rod 42 and the ladder column 3 can also be achieved by bolts, welding, etc.
[0037] In this embodiment, positioning pins 43 are provided at both ends of the upper and lower sides of the support plate 41, and positioning holes 34 are provided at the positions of the ladder column 3 corresponding to the positioning pins 43, and the positioning pins 43 are inserted into the positioning holes 34. The rotation of the support plate 41 is limited by the positioning pins 43, so that it can provide stable support. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the support plate 41, the support rod 42 and the positioning pins 43 are integrally formed, and during the processing, they are turned from a whole piece of profile, which is convenient for processing.
[0038] In this embodiment, a plurality of anti-skid ridges 411 are disposed on the surface of the support plate 41 . The anti-skid ridges 411 can provide greater friction to prevent the sole of the foot from slipping against the pedal 4 .
[0039] In this embodiment, a support frame 5 is provided on the ladder column 3 of the auxiliary ladder 2, and a safety buckle 6 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 5. When the support frame 5 is pressed on the pedal 4 of the main ladder 1, the main ladder 1 supports the auxiliary ladder 2, and the safety buckle 6 locks the pedal 4. By providing the support frame 5 and the safety buckle 6, when the combination ladder is used as a straight ladder, the auxiliary ladder 2 can be pressed on the main ladder 1 through the support frame 5 and locked by the safety buckle 6, thereby ensuring the stability of the combination ladder.
[0040] In this embodiment, the safety buckle 6 includes a hinged end 61 and a locking end 62. The safety buckle 6 is rotatably connected to the support frame 5 through the hinged end 61. When the main ladder 1 and the auxiliary ladder 2 are both placed at an angle, the locking end 62 is engaged with the pedal 4. The main ladder 1 and the auxiliary ladder 2 can be locked by simply rotating the locking end 62 of the safety buckle 6 to engage the locking end 62 with the pedal 4. In other embodiments, the main ladder 1 and the auxiliary ladder 2 can also be locked by a latch, a clamp, etc.
[0041] In this embodiment, a counterweight 63 is provided at the bottom of the lock end 62. When the main ladder 1 and the auxiliary ladder 2 are both placed with the inner side 31 close to the wall, the counterweight 63 rotates the safety buckle 6 and makes the lock end 62 engage with the pedal 4. No manual operation is required, and automatic locking is achieved. When the main ladder 1 and the auxiliary ladder 2 are both placed vertically, the counterweight 63 rotates the safety buckle 6 and makes the lock end 62 disengage from the pedal 4 engaged therewith. By providing the counterweight 63, automatic unlocking is achieved without manual operation.
[0042] In this embodiment, a herringbone ladder can be formed between the main ladder 1 and the auxiliary ladder 2, with the main ladder 1 serving as a support ladder and the auxiliary ladder 2 serving as a climbing ladder. Since the specific structure and implementation method thereof have been fully disclosed in the prior art, they will not be described in detail herein.
[0043] The auxiliary ladder 2 is equipped with an extension ladder 7, which also includes ladder columns 3 and pedals 4. The assembly method between the extension ladder 7 and the auxiliary ladder 2 is the same as the assembly method between the auxiliary ladder 2 and the main ladder 1, so it will not be described in detail.
[0044] The method of using the utility model is as follows:
[0045] When the combination ladder is used as a straight ladder, the auxiliary ladder 2 is pressed onto the pedal 4 of the main ladder 1 through the support frame 5, and then the main ladder 1 and the auxiliary ladder 2 are tilted, and the inner side 31 of the main ladder 1 and the auxiliary ladder 2 is located on the side close to the wall. When the main ladder 1 and the auxiliary ladder 2 are tilted, the counterweight block 63 rotates the safety buckle 6 and makes the locking end 62 engage with the pedal 4, so that the main ladder 1 and the auxiliary ladder 2 are locked.
[0046] After use, when the main ladder 1 and the auxiliary ladder 2 are both placed vertically, the counterweight 63 rotates the safety buckle 6 and disengages the locking end 62 from the pedal 4 engaged therewith, thereby automatically unlocking the main ladder 1 and the auxiliary ladder 2.
[0047] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model. The technology, shape, and structure that are not described in detail in the utility model are all well-known technologies.
