[0034] It can be understood that the apron is usually equipped with multiple ladder bodies 100, and each ladder body 100 is provided with a positioning device 200, and the position information of the positioning device 200 is the position information of the ladder body 100. The positioning device 200 can send the position information to the first communication component 311 of the communication device 300. When the first communication component 311 receives the position information of the ladder body 100, the staff can view the position information of the ladder body 100 through the display panel 312, so as to quickly reach the position of the ladder body 100 according to the prompt of the position information, which reduces the time of searching for the ladder body 100 on the apron, saves the physical strength of the staff, ensures that the task is carried out and completed in time, and then ensures the normal operation of the flight.

[0035] Optionally, the number of ladder frame bodies 100 on the apron is configured according to actual use needs. In actual application scenarios, ladder frame bodies 100 of different heights are usually provided, and staff select ladder frame bodies 100 of appropriate heights according to different maintenance tasks.

Optionally, the positioning device 200 is connected to the side or top of the ladder frame body 100, as long as it does not affect the position of the ladder frame body 100.

[0036] Further, see Figure 3 The positioning device 200 includes a mounting frame 210 and a positioner (not shown in the figure), the mounting frame 210 is fixedly connected to the ladder frame body 100, and the positioner is fixed inside the mounting frame 210. The positioner is arranged inside the mounting frame 210, so that the mounting frame 210 can protect the positioner and effectively prevent water, dust and bumps. Optionally, the positioner can be a GPS positioner, an RFID positioner or an infrared positioner.

[0037] Furthermore, the positioning device 200 also includes a solar cell 211, and the solar cell 211 is connected to the surface of the mounting frame 210. The solar cell 211 is electrically connected to the locator, and the solar cell 211 is used to power the locator. The solar cell 211 has the advantages of being environmentally friendly, renewable, stable, and having low maintenance costs. Therefore, the present embodiment uses the solar cell 211 to power the locator. In other embodiments, a primary battery can be used to power the locator, and when the battery is exhausted, a new battery can be replaced in time. Of course, a secondary battery can also be used to power the locator, and the display panel 312 displays the battery power status in real time, and the staff charges the positioning device 200 according to the power usage.

[0038] Further, the mounting frame 210 has a connecting portion 220 and the mounting frame 210 connected to each other, the locator is arranged inside the mounting frame 210, and the mounting frame 210 is connected to the ladder frame body 100.

The two connecting portions 220 and the ladder frame body 100 are fixed to ensure the firmness of the connection. The connecting portion 220 and the ladder frame body 100 can be an integrally formed structure or a split type, for example, the connecting portion 220 and the ladder frame body 100 are connected by a buckle or a threaded connector. In other embodiments, the position and number of the connecting portion 220 are set according to the use needs, as long as it can be connected to the ladder frame body 100. In some embodiments, the mounting frame 210 can also be bonded to the ladder frame body 100.

[0039] Furthermore, the connection part 220 has a connection hole 221, and a strap is passed through the connection hole 221, and the connection part 220 and the ladder frame body 100 are bound by the strap. The connection by the strap is highly versatile, easy to operate, and easy to disassemble and replace. In some embodiments, the connection part 220 can also be a hook, and the positioning device 200 is hung on the top of the ladder frame body 100.

[0040] Furthermore, the first communication component 311 is connected to the system terminal.

The parameter information of the ladder frame body 100 includes the size information of the ladder frame body 100, such as the height and width of the ladder frame body 100. In actual working conditions, different maintenance work requires the use of ladder frame bodies 100 of different heights. If the staff uses a ladder frame body 100 of inappropriate height, an accident of bumping into the aircraft or injuring people may occur. In the prior art, the staff needs to approach the ladder frame body 100 and check the label on the ladder frame body 100 to know the specific size of the ladder frame body 100. If the height of the ladder frame body 100 is not suitable, it is necessary to continue to look for a suitable ladder frame body 100, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive and very inconvenient. By storing the size information of the ladder frame body 100 in the communication device 300, the above problem can be effectively solved.

[0042] In one embodiment, the positioning device 200 has a number, and the positioning device 200 can send the number to the first communication component 311, and the number is bound to the size information of the ladder frame body 100. The number is used to distinguish different positioning devices 200, and the display panel 312 can not only display the position information, but also display the size information of the ladder frame body 100 corresponding to the position, so as to realize the remote viewing of the height of the ladder frame body 100. The staff can view the location of the ladder frame body 100 of the appropriate height through the display panel 312, avoiding multiple searches.

[0043] Furthermore, the communication device 300 further includes an input component and a processor 314 in communication connection, the processor 314 is in communication connection with the first communication component 311, the input component is used to input the use status of the ladder frame body 100, and the processor 314 is used to respond to the input operation of the staff and execute the corresponding instructions. Optionally, the use status may include: "in use", "unused" and "remaining use time", etc.

[0044] Exemplarily, the input component includes a touch panel, and the touch panel can collect touch operations input by the user. When a worker starts maintenance work, the use status of the ladder frame body 100 used by the worker can be input into the communication device 300 through the touch panel, and the communication device 300 uploads the use status to the system terminal, and then the system terminal transmits it to other communication devices 300. Other workers can view the use status of the ladder frame body 100 through the display panel 312, so as to know whether the ladder frame body 100 is available for use. It can be understood that the display panel 312 can be a touch panel with multiple functions such as displaying information and collecting input operations, or the display panel 312 and the touch panel can be set independently.

[0045] In another embodiment, the input component may be a voice collection component 3151. The voice collection component 3151 is used to collect voice commands input by the user. The staff can input the usage information of the ladder frame body 100 by voice. The processor 314 recognizes the voice operation command from the voice collection component 3151 and executes the corresponding command based on the recognition result of the voice operation command. In some embodiments, a touch panel and a voice collection component 3151 may be provided at the same time, so that the user can choose any method to perform input operation.

[0046] Optionally, the communication device 300 further includes a voice output component 3152 in communication with the processor 314, and the processor 314 can call the voice output component 3152 to output a corresponding voice prompt. Figure 4 In some embodiments, the voice collection component 3151 and the voice output component 3152 are built into the communication device body 310 .

[0047] Further, see Figure 5 In some embodiments, the voice collection component 3151 and the voice output component 3152 are placed in the external voice input / output device 315. Exemplarily, the voice input / output device 315 includes the voice collection component 3151, the voice output component 3152 and the second communication component 3153. The second communication component 3153 is connected to the first communication component 311 for communication, and the second communication component 3153 is used to receive voice instructions from the processor 314 or send voice instructions to the processor 314; the second communication component 3153 is connected to the system terminal for communication, and is used to send the voice instructions collected by the voice collection component 3151 to the system terminal.

[0048] Optionally, the voice collection component 3151 can be a throat vibration microphone. The throat vibration microphone is connected to the first communication component 311 via a flexible wire, and can directly sense the vibration of the throat sound for voice input. Exemplarily, the throat vibration microphone includes two throat microphones and a tightening belt, and the two throat microphones are arranged on the tightening belt. The user can tie the throat vibration microphone to the neck through the tightening belt, and adjust the position of the tightening belt so that the two throat microphones are respectively fixed on both sides of the neck vocal cords. Optionally, the voice output component 3152 includes an ear-hook headset, which is connected to at least one of the two throat microphones via a flexible wire.

[0049] In some embodiments, the voice collection component 3151 can also be an external microphone, and the voice output component 3152 is an earphone. The microphone and the earphone are connected by a flexible wire, and the earphone and the communication device 300 are connected by a flexible wire or by Bluetooth.

[0050] Furthermore, the communication device 300 further includes a power supply component 316 for supplying power to various components in the communication device 300. Optionally, the power supply component 316 may be a primary battery, a secondary battery, or a solar cell 211, etc.

Optionally, the wearing strap 320 is one of the following: an elastic band, an adhesive strap, and a strap with a buckle.

[0052] By wearing the communication device 300 on the human body, the traditional paper work card is replaced. The traditional paper work card needs to carry paper and pen to record the progress of the task and sign, etc., which takes up both hands and is inconvenient to carry. In addition, there is a lot of oil pollution at the maintenance site, and the paper work card is easy to be contaminated. At the same time, there is also the problem of easy loss. The use of a wearable communication device 300 is more intelligent, simple to operate, easy to carry, and not easy to lose, which reduces the workload of the staff and greatly improves work efficiency. In addition, the communication device 300 can ensure the real-time synchronization of maintenance data through real-time transmission, and can realize the collaborative execution of tasks by multiple people, facilitate the management of aircraft, flights and maintenance work, and avoid the problem of data loss.
