[0047] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described here is only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and is not used to limit the present invention.

[0048] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof may be combined with each other.

[0049] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, directional words such as "up, down, top, bottom" are usually used to describe the relative positional relationship of components in the direction shown in the drawings or in the vertical, perpendicular or gravity direction.

[0050] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0051] The utility model firstly provides a ladder assembly.

[0052] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 6 As shown, the ladder assembly includes an installation rail 1, a ladder 4 and a support frame 5. The installation rail 1 is arranged vertically and is provided with a slide groove extending vertically upward from the bottom end and a limit assembly arranged at the front side of the top end. The limit assembly includes a first limit wheel 2 and a second limit wheel 3 that are arranged at intervals along the front and rear directions of the installation rail 1 and can both rotate on their own. The ladder 4 is arranged at the front side of the installation rail 1, and the top end of the ladder beam of the ladder 4 is limited between the first limit wheel 2 and the second limit wheel 3, and can move axially between the first limit wheel 2 and the second limit wheel 3 and swing along the front and rear directions of the installation rail 1. The first end of the support frame 5 in the length direction is slidably arranged in the slide groove, and the second end in the length direction is fixedly connected to the ladder 4, and the support frame 5 is set to be adjustable in length.

[0053] It should be noted that the structure of the ladder 4 itself is well known to those skilled in the art, and is mainly composed of two ladder beams that are parallel and spaced apart and a plurality of treads that are spaced apart along the axial direction of the ladder beams between the two ladder beams.

[0054] When the jack is lifted up, the top of the ladder 4 is stopped at the stopper 2, and the first end of the ladder 4 is stopped at the bottom of the ladder 4, so that the staff can climb up and down the ladder 4, which is convenient and safe. In addition, the inclination angle of the ladder 4 can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the support frame 5. In this way, the ladder assembly is suitable for a variety of application scenarios. For example, in a scenario where the climbing space is relatively narrow, the inclination angle of the ladder 4 can be adjusted to a smaller value. In a scenario where the climbing space is relatively spacious, the inclination angle of the ladder 4 can be adjusted to a larger value, which is more labor-saving.

[0055] Specifically, the limiting assembly may also include a mounting seat, which is fixedly mounted on the top end of the mounting rail 1 and extends toward the front of the mounting rail 1, and the first limiting wheel 2 and the second limiting wheel 3 are respectively rotatably mounted on the mounting seat through a rotating shaft, and a limiting flange is provided at one end of the first limiting wheel 2 and the second limiting wheel 3 away from the mounting seat. In this way, the first limiting wheel 2, the second limiting wheel 3, the mounting seat and the limiting flange define a limiting space at the top end of the ladder beam for limiting the ladder 4.

[0056] In order to improve the reliability and strength of the structure, the installation rail 1 may include two rail units that are both arranged vertically and spaced apart, a connecting top plate connected between the top ends of the two rail units, a connecting bottom plate connected between the bottom ends of the two rail units, and a reinforcing plate connected between the middle positions of the two rail units. The number of limit assemblies is set to two groups, and the two groups of limit assemblies are respectively arranged at the front sides of the top ends of the two rail units and arranged oppositely, and are respectively used to limit the top ends of the two ladder beams of the ladder 4. The two rail units are respectively provided with a slide groove, and the two slide grooves are arranged oppositely. A support frame 5 is respectively arranged between the two rail units and the two ladder beams of the ladder 4, and the first ends of the two support frames 5 are respectively slidably arranged in the two slide grooves, and are connected to each other through an intermediate connecting rod so as to be able to slide synchronously, and the second ends of the two support frames 5 are respectively fixedly connected to the two ladder beams of the ladder 4.

[0057] In this embodiment, the ladder beams and treads of the ladder 4 can be set as a hollow structure, which not only saves manufacturing materials but also reduces weight. At the same time, it can also be made of aluminum alloy material to further reduce weight and facilitate staff to carry and place.

[0058] In order to increase the service life of the first limiting wheel 2 and the second limiting wheel 3, the first limiting wheel 2 and the second limiting wheel 3 can be made of nylon material.

[0059] In order to enable the limiting assembly to adapt to ladders 4 of various specifications, the first limiting wheel 2 and the second limiting wheel 3 can be arranged so that the distance therebetween is adjustable. Specifically, the position of the first limiting wheel 2 can be adjusted along the front-to-rear direction of the mounting rail 1, or the position of the second limiting wheel 3 can be adjusted along the front-to-rear direction of the mounting rail 1.

[0060] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4 As shown, a roller is provided at the first end of the support frame 5, and the roller is rollably arranged in the slide groove. In this way, the smoothness of the first end of the support frame 5 sliding in the slide groove can be effectively improved.

[0061] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4 As shown, the support frame 5 includes a support block 5a and a connecting plate 5b arranged in sequence along the length direction, the ends of the support block 5a and the connecting plate 5b close to each other are detachably connected and the connection position is adjustable along the length direction of the support frame 5, the end of the support block 5a away from the connecting plate 5b serves as the first end of the support frame 5, and the end of the connecting plate 5b away from the support block 5a serves as the second end of the support frame 5. In this way, by adjusting the connection position of the ends of the support block 5a and the connecting plate 5b close to each other, the length of the support frame 5 can be adjusted.

[0062] Specifically, the support frame 5 further includes a first fastener, a first waist-shaped hole extending along the length direction of the support frame 5 is opened at one end of the connecting plate 5b close to the supporting block 5a, a first connecting hole corresponding to the first waist-shaped hole is opened at one end of the supporting block 5a close to the connecting plate 5b, and the first fastener is detachably inserted through the first waist-shaped hole and the first connecting hole to fasten and connect the supporting block 5a and the connecting plate 5b. The first fastener can be a bolt.

[0063] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4 As shown, the support frame 5 further includes a supporting member 5c, which is detachably connected to one end of the support block 5a close to the connecting plate 5b and the connection position is adjustable along the length direction of the support frame 5. One end of the supporting member 5c away from the support block 5a is bent to form a supporting portion perpendicular to the length direction of the support frame 5, and the supporting portion is located between the two ends of the connecting plate 5b in the length direction of the support frame 5. In this way, the ladder 4 can be supported against the supporting portion, effectively improving the reliability and strength of the structure.

[0064] It can be understood that the support member 5c is detachably connected to one end of the support block 5a close to the connecting plate 5b and the connection position is adjustable along the length direction of the support frame 5. This arrangement allows the position of the support member 5c to be aligned with the connecting plate 5b, ensuring that the ladder 4 can accurately rest against the support part.

[0065] Specifically, the support frame 5 further includes a second fastener, a second connection hole is formed at one end of the support block 5a close to the connection plate 5b, and a second waist-shaped hole corresponding to the second connection hole and extending along the length direction of the support frame 5 is formed at the abutting piece 5c, and the second fastener is detachably inserted through the second waist-shaped hole and the second connection hole to fasten and connect the support block 5a and the abutting piece 5c. The second fastener may be a bolt.

[0066] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 and attached Figure 6 As shown, a stopper bottom plate 6 is provided at the bottom end of the mounting rail 1, and the stopper bottom plate 6 cooperates with the bottom stopper of the support frame 5 that slides to the bottom end of the mounting rail 1. With such arrangement, when the staff climbs the ladder 4, the bottom surface of the support frame 5 can be supported on the stopper bottom plate 6, further ensuring the reliability of the structure.

[0067] Specifically, the stop base plate 6 can be formed by bending the aforementioned connecting base plate connected between the bottom ends of the two slide rail units.

[0068] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 5 and attached Figure 6 As shown, the top of the slide groove is provided with an opening for the first end of the support frame 5 to escape, the second end of the support frame 5 is detachably connected to the ladder 4, and a hanging plate 7 is provided on the front side of the mounting slide rail 1. The hanging plate 7 is provided with a recess with an opening facing upward and used to hang the step rod of the ladder 4.

[0069] In actual application, when the ladder 4 is not needed, the support frame 5 can be disassembled, and the step rod of the ladder 4 is hung on the notch of the hanging plate 7, so that the ladder 4 is stored and leaned against the mounting rail 1. That is, in this embodiment, the ladder 4 has a storage state.

[0070] Specifically, a U-shaped skeleton rubber strip may be provided at the notch of the hanging plate 7 to prevent the step rod of the ladder 4 from being damaged by direct friction with the hanging plate 7 .

[0071] Specifically, the hanging plates 7 can be fixedly mounted on the aforementioned stop base plate 6 , and a plurality of hanging plates 7 can be spaced apart along the length direction of the stop base plate 6 .

[0072] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 5As shown, the ladder assembly also includes a locking mechanism, which includes a mounting plate 8 and a locking member 9. The mounting plate 8 is arranged on the mounting rail 1 and is arranged opposite to the recess of the hanging plate 7. The locking member 9 is arranged on the mounting plate 8 and can move in a direction close to or away from the recess.

[0073] It can be understood that after the step rod of the ladder 4 is hung on the recess of the hanging plate 7, the locking member 9 of the locking mechanism can be inserted into the port of the step rod, thereby limiting the ladder 4 in the vertical direction through the locking member 9, thereby preventing the ladder 4 from shaking or falling off due to factors such as road bumps during the driving of the construction machinery, thereby effectively improving safety.

[0074] Specifically, a screw-in seat with a threaded hole may be provided on the mounting plate 8, and the locking member 9 may be provided as a screw rod and screwed with the threaded hole of the screw-in seat, and the locking member 9 may be moved in a direction close to or away from the notch by screwing the screw rod.

The self-closing door 12 is hinged to the edge of the passage opening by a spring hinge and can be maintained in a closed position of the closed passage opening under the elastic force of the spring hinge.

[0076] It can be understood that the self-closing door 12 can keep the passage closed under the action of the spring hinge. With this arrangement, the self-closing door 12 can be opened under the action of an external force. When the staff climbs onto the platform 10, the self-closing door 12 can automatically close the passage, effectively improving safety.

[0077] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the ladder assembly further includes a limit plate 13, one end of which is connected to the guardrail 11, and the other end of which extends to the passage, so as to be able to abut against the inner side of the self-closing door 12 in the closed position. In this way, the limit plate 13 can ensure that the self-closing door 12 accurately closes the passage through the limiting effect of the limit plate 13, and prevents the self-closing door 12 from rotating into the guardrail 11.
