[0025] The second movable ladder frame 22 can be unfolded by rotating the second movable ladder frame 22 out of the support frame 321 and making the bottom side of the right-angled trapezoid parallel to the top wall of the support frame 321, and the second movable ladder frame 22 is limited and fixed. The side of the second movable ladder frame 22 is provided with steps, and when the second movable ladder frame 22 is unfolded, the steps are close to the position of the first limiter.

[0026] The third movable ladder frame 23 has steps on one side, and the steps on the third movable ladder frame 23 and the second movable ladder frame 22 are located on the same side. By unfolding the second movable ladder frame 22 and the third movable ladder frame 23, and then connecting the first ladder frame assembly 1 with the support frame 321, a complete working ladder can be formed. After the second ladder frame assembly 2 is stored and the first ladder frame assembly 1 is separated from the second ladder frame assembly 2, the overall height of the working ladder can be reduced by about half, and the working ladder can be separated into two parts and transported separately, reducing the workload of transporting a single-part working ladder.

[0027] Reference Figure 4 Specifically, the first limiting member includes a first limiting pin 24, a first connecting ear is provided at the top of the first ladder frame assembly 1, and a second connecting ear is fixedly provided at the top edge of the support frame 321. The first connecting ear and the second connecting ear are both provided with a first pin hole adapted to the first limiting pin 24. The first limiting pin 24 is simultaneously passed through the first pin holes on the first ladder frame assembly 1 and the support frame 321 to limit the connection state of the first ladder frame assembly 1 and the support frame 321.

[0028] The second limiting member includes a pin rod 25. The right-angle edges on both sides of the hinge axis on the side walls of the second movable ladder frame 22 are penetrated with a first positioning hole coaxial with the hinge axis.

When the second movable ladder frame 22 is rotated and retracted into the support frame 321, the first support plate 221 adheres to and closes the upper opening of the support frame 321, so that the first ladder frame assembly 1 and the second ladder frame assembly 2 can be connected even when the second movable ladder frame 22 is not unfolded, thereby meeting the maintenance needs of the aircraft at a lower altitude.

[0031] Furthermore, an opening for the third movable ladder frame 23 to be raised and lowered is provided on the top wall of the second movable ladder frame 22. The third movable ladder frame 23 includes a bracket and a flip frame 232. The bracket is vertically slidably connected to the second movable ladder frame 22. A second support plate 235 is fixed on the top wall of the bracket. The edge of the second support plate 235 extends outward. When the bracket is lowered and stored in the second movable ladder frame 22, the second support plate 235 closes the opening at the top of the second movable ladder frame 22. The flip frame 232 is provided with steps. The top of the flip frame 232 is hinged to the upper edge of the bracket. The bottom end of the flip frame 232 is slidably connected to the insertion rod 233 along its own length. A slot is provided at one end of the insertion rod 233 away from the flip frame 232.
