[0034] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0035] This embodiment relates to a portable wind power maintenance ladder, the overall structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, it includes a main ladder 1, an auxiliary ladder 3, a connecting part 4, and a hanging part 5.

[0036] Among them, the main ladder 1 is vertically provided with a support leg 2, there are multiple auxiliary ladders 3, the first auxiliary ladder 3 is rotatably set at the bottom of the main ladder 1, and the other auxiliary ladders 3 are rotatably connected between the head and the tail. There are multiple groups of connecting parts 4, which are respectively fixedly set between the main ladder 1 and the auxiliary ladder 3, and between two adjacent auxiliary ladders 3. The hanging parts 5 are fixedly set at the top of the main ladder 1 and are clamped on the horizontal column of the wind power equipment.

[0037] It is worth mentioning that existing wind power equipment is equipped with wind turbines. The horizontal column is the horizontal column at the tail of the wind turbine. The suspension part 5 can be locked on the horizontal column to prevent the ladder and the horizontal column from detaching. The main ladder 1 and the auxiliary ladder 3 can be unfolded or folded. The connecting part 4 is installed at the tail of the main ladder 1 and the top of the auxiliary ladder 3. After unfolding, the main ladder 1 and the auxiliary ladder 3 can be fixed to prevent the main ladder 1 and the auxiliary ladder 3 from swinging between the main ladder 1 and the auxiliary ladder 3, thereby improving safety. After folding, it is convenient for transportation. In order to increase the length of the ladder, other auxiliary ladders 3 can be added in sequence at the tail end of the auxiliary ladder 3. These auxiliary ladders 3 are also connected by connecting parts 4 to ensure that the auxiliary ladders 3 can also be unfolded or folded.

[0038] Based on the above overall introduction, an exemplary structure of the portable wind turbine maintenance ladder of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connector 4 includes a connecting plate 401 fixed to the main ladder 1 and a snap-fit sleeve 402 sleeved on the side wall of the main ladder 1. The auxiliary ladder 3's rotating shaft is connected to the connecting plate 401. The snap-fit sleeve 402 accommodates the side walls of the main ladder 1 and the auxiliary ladder 3. Through holes 403 are respectively formed in the snap-fit sleeve 402 and the main ladder 1, and a pin 404 is inserted into the through hole 403.

[0039] It should be noted that the connecting plate 401 can be installed on the tail side of the main ladder 1 by welding or screws, and the auxiliary ladder 3 can be rotated on the connecting plate 401, thereby realizing the expansion or folding of the main ladder 1 and the auxiliary ladder 3. The snap-fit sleeve 402 is located on the auxiliary ladder 3 when in the folded state, and in the expanded state, it is necessary to push the snap-fit sleeve 402 upward into the main ladder 1. This arrangement ensures that the side walls of the auxiliary ladder 3 and the main ladder 1 are all restrained in the snap-fit sleeve 402, thereby realizing the fixation of the main ladder 1 and the auxiliary ladder 3. In order to fix the snap-fit sleeve 402 in this position, it is necessary to open a through hole 403 on the snap-fit sleeve 402 and the main ladder 1, and insert the pin shaft 404 into the through hole 403, which can ensure that the snap-fit sleeve 402 is always restrained on the main ladder 1 and the auxiliary ladder 3, and avoid the snap-fit sleeve 402 sliding down during climbing, causing the main ladder 1 and the auxiliary ladder 3 to swing.

[0040] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the suspension member 5 of this embodiment includes a base 501 fixedly set on the top of the main ladder 1, a hook 502 rotatably set on the base 501, and a handle 503 for driving the hook 502 to rotate. The cross column is located in the base 501, and the hook 502 locks the cross column in the base 501.

[0041] It should be noted that the base 501 can be installed on the top of the main ladder 1 by screws, and the hook 502 rotates on the base 501. When the cross column is located in the base 501, the hook 502 can be rotated to the top of the cross column. This arrangement ensures that the cross column is fixed in the base 501 and avoids detachment from the base 501, thereby improving safety. The handle 503 can control the rotation of the hook 502, thereby facilitating operation by personnel.

[0042] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, a traction rope 510 is fixedly provided on the handle 503 of this embodiment, a crossbar 6 is bent on the main ladder 1, the base 501 is fixed on the crossbar 6, and a reinforcing rib 7 is provided between the crossbar 6 and the base 501.

[0043] Specifically, the traction rope 510 is installed on the dial handle 503, and the dial handle 503 is L-shaped. The bottom end of the hook 502 is fixed to one of the rods of the dial handle 503, and the traction rope 510 is fixed to the other rod. The stem with the traction rope 510 can swing, thereby driving the hook 502 to swing. Such a setting is convenient for controlling the swing of the hook 502. The traction rope 510 can ensure that when the hanger 5 rises to the cross column, it can still control the swing of the hook 502, thereby facilitating the locking and unlocking of the hanger 5 and improving convenience. In order to improve the strength of the base 501 on the main ladder 1, the cross bar 6 can be integrally formed on the side wall of the main ladder 1. The setting of the cross bar 6 ensures that the hanger 5 and the main ladder 1 are in a vertical state, which is convenient for locking with the cross column. The reinforcing rib 7 can be welded to the cross column, and the base 501 and the reinforcing rib 7 are in contact. When the screws are tightened, the base 501 can be prevented from shaking on the cross bar 6.

[0044] As a preferred Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a placement slot 504 is formed on the base 501, and the crossbar is located in the placement slot 504. The base 501 also has a through slot 505 perpendicular to the placement slot 504, and the hook 502 swings in the through slot 505. A torsion spring 506 is inserted into the torsion handle 503, and one end of the torsion spring 506 is fixed to the torsion handle 503, and the other end is fixed to the base 501.

[0045] Specifically, the placement slot 504 is horizontally opened on the top surface of the base 501, and the cross column can enter the placement slot 504. When the cross column contacts the bottom of the placement slot 504, the hook 502 can be rotated to the upper part of the cross column. The through slot 505 is opened on the side of the base 501. The through slot 505 is connected to the placement slot 504 to ensure that the hook 502 can be rotated into the placement slot 504 and abut against the cross column, ensuring that the cross column is restrained in the placement slot 504. One end of the torsion spring 506 is fixed on the base 501, and the other end is fixed to the pull handle 503 with a traction On the rod of the guide rope 510, the torsion spring 506 can ensure that the lever 503 controls the hook 502 to always have a force toward the placement slot 504, ensuring that after the cross bar 6 enters the placement slot 504, the hook 502 always restrains the cross column to prevent the cross column from detaching from the base 501. When the traction rope 510 drives the lever 503 to swing, the torsion spring 506 is subjected to force, driving the hook 502 to detach from the cross column. At this time, the ladder can be removed from the cross column. When the traction rope 510 is released, the hook 502 enters the placement slot 504 through the force of the torsion spring 506.

[0046] As a preferred Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, a chute 507 is provided at the bottom of the placement slot 504, and a top block 508 is slidably provided in the chute 507. A spring 509 is provided between the top block 508 and the chute 507, and the top block 508 is located at the bottom of the crossbar. Specifically, the top block 508 rises and falls in the chute 507. When the crossbar is located in the placement slot 504, the top block 508 abuts against the bottom of the crossbar, and the hook 502 abuts against the top of the crossbar. This arrangement can prevent the crossbar from shaking in the placement slot 504. The spring 509 is a high-pressure spring 509, with the top fixed on the top block 508 and the bottom fixed to the bottom of the chute 507, which can support the top block 508. When the crossbar and the top block 508 abut, the high-pressure spring 509 is compressed, ensuring that the crossbar is always located between the top block 508 and the hook 502.

[0047] The portable wind power maintenance ladder in this embodiment ensures that the ladder can be folded for easy transportation through the coordinated setting of the main ladder 1 and the auxiliary ladder 3. The setting of the connecting member 4 ensures that the main ladder 1 and the auxiliary ladder 3 can be connected together after being unfolded to avoid shaking and improve safety. The setting of the hanging member 5 ensures that the ladder can be hung on the wind power equipment to prevent the ladder from detaching from the wind power equipment. The coordinated setting of the bent hook 502 and the top block 508 can prevent the horizontal column of the wind power equipment from shaking in the hanging member 5.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
