A number of brake wheel sets are fixedly installed at the lower ends of both screw-lift assemblies. The upper end of the follow-up escalator assembly is movably installed with two aluminum alloy ladder frames through bearings. A number of ladder rods are fixedly connected between the two aluminum alloy ladder frames. Aluminum alloy escalator handrails are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the two aluminum alloy ladder frames. An aluminum alloy platform is fixedly installed at the upper ends of the two screw-lift assemblies. Two steel wire ropes are fixedly installed at the lower right part of the aluminum alloy platform. Platform aluminum alloy handrails are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the aluminum alloy platform. A hand-crank mechanism assembly is threadedly connected to the lower ends of both screw-lift assemblies. Aluminum alloy safety doors are movably installed at the front and right ends of the platform aluminum alloy handrails through hinges.

[0006] Preferably, the upper parts of the inner sides of the two aluminum alloy ladder frames are respectively movably connected to the front and rear ends of the aluminum alloy platform through bearings.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution: The bearing connection enables the aluminum alloy ladder frame to flexibly and adaptively adjust according to the lifting angle and position of the aluminum alloy platform, adapting to different working requirements and operation scenarios.

[0008] Preferably, the left ends of the two steel wire ropes are fixedly connected to the right end of the follow-up escalator assembly.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution: Through the connection of the steel wire rope, the follow-up escalator assembly and the aluminum profile platform can achieve better coordinated operation. During the lifting process, the steel wire rope can help maintain the relative position and motion synchronization between the two, ensuring that users can smoothly go up and down on the follow-up escalator, and at the same time facilitating the stable transportation of goods.

[0010] Preferably, drive wheels are fixedly connected to the lower parts of the left ends of the two hand-operating mechanism assemblies, and the lower right part of the steel wire rope is drivingly connected to the outer surface of the drive wheel.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution: Through the guiding and constraining of the drive wheel, the movement trajectory of the steel wire rope is more stable, reducing the jumping and deviation of the steel wire rope during the transmission process, and contributing to maintaining the stability and reliability of the elevator operation.

[0012] Preferably, the hand-operating mechanism assembly includes an outer box, a worm is inserted and movably installed at the right end of the outer box, a turbine is drivingly connected to the outer surface of the worm, a hand crank is fixedly connected to the right end of the worm, and the upper end of the turbine is threadedly connected to the lower end of the screw lift assembly.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution: The operator can finely adjust the lifting height of the elevator by rotating the hand crank and can accurately reach the required maintenance position.

[0014] Preferably, the left end of the worm is movably connected to the left inner wall surface of the outer box through a bearing, and the lower end of the turbine is movably connected to the lower inner wall surface of the outer box through a bearing.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution: The left end of the worm is movably connected to the left inner wall surface of the outer box through a bearing, and the lower end of the turbine is movably connected to the lower inner wall surface of the outer box through a bearing, significantly reducing the friction between the worm and the turbine and the inner wall of the outer box during rotation.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. In the present utility model, the follow-up escalator assembly and the screw lift assembly are connected by a steel wire rope, achieving the coordination of their movements. When the screw lift assembly drives the aluminum profile platform to lift, the follow-up escalator assembly can move smoothly accordingly, ensuring the convenience and safety of the operator going up and down. During the lifting process, the follow-up escalator always maintains an appropriate distance and angle from the platform, facilitating personnel passage;

[0018] 2. In the present utility model, the hand-operating mechanism assembly threadedly connected to the screw lift assembly enables the lifting operation of the elevator to be manually controlled, facilitating fine adjustment according to actual needs and being able to work properly without power supply;

[0019] 3. In the present utility model, the aluminum profile handrail of the escalator and the aluminum profile handrail of the platform provide good grasping and support for the operator, enhancing the comfort and safety of operation. When the operator climbs up and down the ladder or works on the platform, it can stabilize the body and reduce the risk of accidental falls. The aluminum profile safety doors at the front end and the right end of the platform aluminum profile handrail can prevent the operator from accidentally falling from the platform, further improving the safety of maintenance work. When the platform rises to a relatively high position, the safety door can effectively prevent people from falling by mistake. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-6 , the present utility model provides a technical solution:

[0031] A lift, comprising a follow-up escalator assembly 1 and a lead screw lifting assembly 2. There are two lead screw lifting assemblies 2. A plurality of brake wheel sets 3 are fixedly installed at the lower ends of the two lead screw lifting assemblies 2 and the lower ends of the lead screw lifting assemblies 2. The upper end of the follow-up escalator assembly 1 is movably installed with two aluminum alloy ladder frames 5 through bearings. A plurality of ladder rods 11 are fixedly connected between the two aluminum alloy ladder frames 5. Aluminum alloy escalator handrails 6 are fixedly connected to the front ends and rear ends of the two aluminum alloy ladder frames 5. The upper ends of the two lead screw lifting assemblies 2 are fixedly installed with an aluminum alloy platform 7. Two steel wire ropes 4 are fixedly installed at the right part of the lower end of the aluminum alloy platform 7. Platform aluminum alloy handrails 8 are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the aluminum alloy platform 7. Hand-crank mechanism assemblies 9 are threadedly connected to the lower ends of the two lead screw lifting assemblies 2. Aluminum alloy safety doors 10 are movably installed at the front end and the right end of the platform aluminum alloy handrails 8 through hinges.

[0032] In this embodiment, the upper parts of the inner sides of the two aluminum profile ladders 5 are respectively and movably connected to the front end and the rear end of the aluminum profile platform 7 through bearings; the left ends of the two steel wire ropes 4 are fixedly connected to the right end of the follow-up escalator assembly 1; the lower parts of the left ends of the two hand-crank mechanism assemblies 9 are fixedly connected with transmission wheels 41, and the lower right part of the steel wire rope 4 is drivingly connected to the outer surface of the transmission wheel 41; the hand-crank mechanism assembly 9 includes an outer box 91, a worm 92 is inserted and movably installed at the right end of the outer box 91, a turbine 93 is drivingly connected to the outer surface of the worm 92, a crank 94 is fixedly connected to the right end of the worm 92, and the upper end of the turbine 93 is threadedly connected to the lower end of the screw lift assembly 2; the left end of the worm 92 is movably connected to the left inner wall surface of the outer box 91 through a bearing, and the lower end of the turbine 93 is movably connected to the lower inner wall surface of the outer box 91 through a bearing.

[0033] It should be noted that the present utility model is a lifting ladder. When moving the lifting ladder, loosen the brake on the brake wheel set 3 to facilitate moving the lifting ladder to the designated position, and then lock the brake on the brake wheel set 3. The aluminum profile ladder 5 and the ladder rod 11 provide a passage for people to go up and down. The aluminum profile escalator handrail 6 provides a hand support for people walking on the ladder rod 11 of the aluminum profile ladder 5 to ensure the safety of people. The staff climbs onto the aluminum profile platform 7 through the ladder rod 11 on the aluminum profile ladder 5 to work. When the staff is working on the aluminum profile platform 7, the aluminum profile safety door 10 can be closed and cooperate with the platform aluminum profile handrail 8 to prevent people from accidentally falling and ensure the life safety of people. When it is necessary to increase the working height, first unlock the brake of the brake wheel set 3 under the follow-up escalator assembly 1, and then the operator rotates the crank 94 in the hand-crank mechanism assembly 9 to drive the worm 92 to rotate. The rotation of the worm 92 drives the turbine 93 connected to it to rotate. Since the upper end of the turbine 93 is threadedly connected to the lower end of the screw lift assembly 2, the rotation of the turbine 93 will cause the screw lift assembly 2 to perform a linear motion of rising or falling. The synchronous motion of the two screw lift assemblies 2 drives the aluminum profile platform 7 to rise or fall. At the same time, the steel wire rope 4 is tightened upward, and the inclination angle of the aluminum profile ladder 5 increases to keep the aluminum profile platform 7 horizontal, ensuring that the relative positions of the follow-up escalator assembly 1, the aluminum profile ladder 5, the ladder rod 11 and the aluminum profile platform 7 are coordinated to provide a stable up and down passage. When it is necessary to adjust the working height downward, shake the hand-crank mechanism assembly 9 to drive it to descend, drive the aluminum profile platform 7 to descend, and at the same time the steel wire rope 4 moves downward and relaxes, and the inclination angle of the aluminum profile ladder 5 decreases to keep the aluminum profile platform 7 horizontal. Whether the aluminum profile platform 7 rises or falls, the aluminum profile ladder 5 and the ladder rod 11 always remain horizontal to ensure the stability of the aluminum profile platform 7.

[0034] The above has shown and described the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principles of the present utility model.
