[0043] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic front view of a ladder assembly in a folded state according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, and reference Figures 2 to 5 The embodiment of the present invention provides a ladder assembly, which includes a first-stage ladder section 100 , a second-stage ladder section 200 , and a third-stage ladder section 300 .

[0044] The top of the first step 100 is used to be connected to a roof platform or a vehicle.

[0045] The lower portion of the secondary stair section 200 is rotatably connected to the lower portion of the primary stair section 100 so that the top portion of the secondary stair section 200 can be folded above the bottom portion of the primary stair section 100 and the secondary stair section 200 is located in front of the primary stair section 100 .

[0046] The top of the tertiary stair section 300 is hinged to the top of the secondary stair section 200 so that the bottom of the tertiary stair section 300 can be folded below the top of the secondary stair section 200 and the tertiary stair section 300 is located in front of the secondary stair section 200.

[0047] After the ladder assembly is unfolded, the first-level ladder section 100 , the second-level ladder section 200 and the third-level ladder section 300 are connected in sequence from top to bottom, and the hinged end of the second-level ladder section 200 and the third-level ladder section 300 is located in front of the first-level ladder section 100 .

[0048] In this embodiment, when the ladder assembly is to be used, the third-stage ladder section 300 at the front can be pulled out first, so that the third-stage ladder section 300 drives the second-stage ladder section 200 to move, and then the second-stage ladder section 200 drives the first-stage ladder section 100 to move, until the end of the third-stage ladder section 300 away from the second-stage ladder section 200 contacts the ground or other supporting platform, so that the ladder assembly is in an unfolded state for the user to climb. When the ladder assembly is in the unfolded state, the end of the third-stage ladder section 300 away from the second-stage ladder section 200 contacts the ground, and the top of the first-stage ladder section 100 is connected to the vehicle, so that the ladder assembly, the vehicle, and the ground form a triangular structure, thereby making the ladder assembly more stable in the unfolded state, reducing the shaking of the ladder assembly when the user climbs, improving the safety of the ladder assembly, and reducing the wear and tear on the vehicle body caused by the shaking of the ladder assembly, thereby improving the user experience.

[0049] After the ladder assembly is installed on the roof platform or the vehicle, since the hinged end of the secondary ladder section 200 and the tertiary ladder section 300 is in the front side of the primary ladder section 100 when the ladder assembly is in the unfolded state, the hinged end of the secondary ladder section 200 and the tertiary ladder section 300 is away from the vehicle body, thereby preventing the secondary ladder section 200 of the ladder assembly from being too close to the vehicle body, thereby preventing the secondary ladder section 200 from shaking and contacting with the vehicle body or even scratching the vehicle body, thereby improving the user experience.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the three-step staircase 300 includes a first sub-ladder 310 and a second sub-ladder 320 .

[0051] The top of the first sub-ladder 310 is hinged to the top of the secondary stair section 200 and is stacked on the front side of the secondary stair section 200. The bottom of the first sub-ladder 310 is flush with or lower than the bottom of the secondary stair section 200.

[0052] The top of the second sub-ladder 320 is hinged to the bottom of the first sub-ladder 310 so that the second sub-ladder 320 can be folded to the lower side of the secondary ladder section 200 and located between the first sub-ladder 310 and the primary ladder section 100 in the front-to-back direction.

[0053] In this embodiment, the design of the second sub-ladder 320 allows for adjustment of the inclination angles of the secondary ladder section 200 and the first sub-ladder 310 by rotating the second sub-ladder 320, i.e., by changing the height of the top of the second sub-ladder 320 from the ground, when the secondary ladder section 200 and the first sub-ladder 310 are deployed. Furthermore, the adjustable height of the top of the second sub-ladder 320 from the ground allows the ladder assembly to be used on vehicles with varying roof heights, improving its adaptability.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, the length of the second sub-ladder 320 is between 8 cm and 10 cm.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, when the bottom of the first sub-ladder 310 is lower than the bottom of the secondary ladder section 200 and the second sub-ladder 320 is folded to the rear side of the first sub-ladder 310,

[0056] The bottom of the second sub-ladder 320 is located above the bottom of the first sub-ladder 310 . The second sub-ladder 320 extends along the extension direction of the secondary stair section 200 and is spaced apart from the secondary stair section 200 in the extension direction.

[0057] In this embodiment, the second sub-ladder 320 is folded between the first sub-ladder 310 and the first-level ladder section 100, and the second sub-ladder 320 is located on the lower side of the second-level ladder section 200 and extends along the extension direction of the second-level ladder section 200, thereby reducing the volume occupied by the ladder assembly after folding.

[0058] The second sub-ladder 320 is spaced apart from the secondary ladder section 200 in its extending direction to ensure that the second sub-ladder 320 and the secondary ladder section 200 do not interfere with each other when the second sub-ladder 320 is folded to the side of the first sub-ladder 310 and then folded toward the secondary ladder section 200 following the first sub-ladder 310.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, in the front-to-back direction, the width of the second sub-ladder 320 is the same as the width of the secondary ladder section 200 .

[0060] In this embodiment, the second sub-ladder 320 and the secondary ladder section 200 are both folded between the first sub-ladder 310 and the first ladder section 100, and the second sub-ladder 320 is located on the lower side of the secondary ladder section 200. The second sub-ladder 320 and the secondary ladder section 200 have the same width, further reducing the volume occupied by the ladder assembly after folding.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, a lock 600 is provided between the primary ladder section 100 and the secondary ladder section 200 to facilitate relative locking of the primary ladder section 100 and the secondary ladder section 200 after the ladder assembly is folded.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, a lock 600 is provided between the secondary ladder section 200 and the tertiary ladder section 300 to facilitate relative locking of the secondary ladder section 200 and the tertiary ladder section 300 after the ladder assembly is folded.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a lock 600 is provided between the primary ladder section 100 and the tertiary ladder section 300 to facilitate relative locking of the primary ladder section 100 and the tertiary ladder section 300 after the ladder assembly is folded.

[0064] In this embodiment, since the secondary stair section 200 is located between the primary stair section 100 and the first sub-ladder 310 in the tertiary stair section 300, the primary stair section 100 and the box cover are locked together by the lock 600, and the secondary stair section 200 is also locked at the same time, preventing people other than the user from unfolding the ladder assembly, making the ladder assembly less likely to be damaged.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, when the lock 600 is disposed between the first stair section 100 and the third stair section 300, the lock 600 includes a lock slot fixedly connected to the third stair section 300 and a latch fixedly connected to the first stair section 100. The lock slot extends vertically through the stair section. The latch is movable vertically so that the latch can be movably inserted into the lock slot.

[0066] In this embodiment, the structure of locking the first-stage ladder section 100 and the third-stage ladder section 300 by inserting a pin into a locking groove is simple, easy to design and manufacture, and reduces the production cost of the ladder assembly.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, the lock 600 is a rotary latch lock.

[0068] In other embodiments of the present invention, the lock 600 is a combination lock.

[0069] In this embodiment, the use of a combination lock eliminates the need for the user to carry unlocking tools such as keys, thereby avoiding the situation where the ladder assembly cannot be used due to forgetting to carry the unlocking tool, thereby improving the user experience.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a protective plate 500 extending forward is connected to the left and right sides of the first-stage stair section 100 respectively, and the front ends of the two protective plates 500 are flush with the front ends of the third-stage stair section 300 .

[0071] In this embodiment, the secondary ladder section 200 and the tertiary ladder section 300 are both located between two protective plates 500, so that the protective plates 500 can protect the secondary ladder section 200 and the tertiary ladder section 300, which not only reduces the bumps and collisions of the secondary ladder section 200 and the tertiary ladder section 300, thereby increasing the service life of the ladder assembly, but also reduces the external dust from falling onto the hinges of the primary ladder section 100, the secondary ladder section 200 and the tertiary ladder section 300, thereby avoiding the difficulty of rotation caused by a large amount of dust at the hinges, and ensuring the smoothness of the unfolding or folding process of the ladder assembly.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first-level stair section 100 , the second-level stair section 200 and the third-level stair section 300 are all arranged vertically.

[0073] The ladder assembly also includes a vertically arranged extension section 400. The bottom of the secondary ladder section 200 is hinged to one end of the extension section 400, and the other end of the extension section 400 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the primary ladder section 100, so that the secondary ladder section 200 is indirectly rotatably connected to the primary ladder section 100 through the extension section 400.

[0074] A first stop plate 510 is fixedly connected to the front bottom of the first-level stair section 100 and extends close to each other in the left and right directions. The rotation axis of the extension section 400 and the first-level stair section 100 is on the upper side of the first stop plate 510, so that the first stop plate 510 limits the rotation of the extension section 400, so that the extension section 400 can rotate at an angle less than 180°.

[0075] A second stop plate is fixedly connected to the extension section 400, and the second stop plate stops on the rotation path of the secondary ladder section 200, so that after the ladder assembly is unfolded, the end of the secondary ladder section 200 hinged to the tertiary ladder section 300 is located in front of the primary ladder section 100.

[0076] In this embodiment, the rotation axis of the extension section 400 and the first-level stair section 100 is on the upper side of the first stop plate 510. The extension section 400 will be blocked by the first stop plate 510 during its forward rotation, so that the angle at which the extension section 400 can rotate forward is less than 180°. That is, after the extension section 400 rotates forward, the end of the extension section 400 connected to the second-level stair section 200 is in front of the end of the extension section 400 connected to the first-level stair section 100. Since the second stop plate is stopped on the rotation path of the second-level stair section 200, the second-level stair section 200 will be blocked by the second stop plate during its forward rotation, thereby causing the second-level stair section 200 to be in front of the first-level stair section 100.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, the bottoms of the two protective plates 500 are fixedly connected to a horizontally arranged first stop plate 510 , and the rotation axis of the extension section 400 and the first step section 100 is located on the upper side of the first stop plate 510 .

[0078] In other embodiments of the present invention, the front ends of the two protective plates 500 are fixedly connected to a vertically arranged first stop plate 510 , and the rotation axis of the extension section 400 and the first step section 100 is located on the upper side of the first stop plate 510 .

[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, the extending section 400 can rotate at an angle between 90° and 120°.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the ladder assembly further includes a plurality of gaskets 700 , one end of the gasket 700 is fixedly connected to the front side of the first-level ladder section 100 , and the other end abuts against the second-level ladder section 200 .

[0081] In this embodiment, the gasket 700 is located between the primary stair section 100 and the secondary stair section 200 to buffer vibrations when the secondary stair section 200 is stored in front of the primary stair section 100, thereby preventing the primary stair section 100 and the secondary stair section 200 from colliding.

[0082] The embodiment of the utility model provides a vehicle roof storage assembly, which includes a platform assembly and a ladder assembly in any of the above embodiments.

[0083] The platform assembly includes a frame that is fixed or retractably connected to the top of the vehicle.

[0084] The ladder assembly is connected to the frame by pulling or flipping.

[0085] In this embodiment, when the ladder assembly is in the unfolded state, the end of the third-level ladder section 300 away from the second-level ladder section 200 is in contact with the ground, and the top of the first-level ladder section 100 is connected to the vehicle, so that the ladder assembly, the vehicle and the ground form a triangular structure, thereby making the structure of the ladder assembly in the unfolded state more stable, reducing the shaking of the ladder assembly when the user climbs, improving the safety of the ladder assembly, and at the same time reducing the occurrence of wear on the vehicle body due to the shaking of the ladder assembly, thereby improving the user experience.

[0086] After the ladder assembly is installed on the roof platform or the vehicle, since the hinged end of the secondary ladder section 200 and the tertiary ladder section 300 is in the front side of the primary ladder section 100 when the ladder assembly is in the unfolded state, the hinged end of the secondary ladder section 200 and the tertiary ladder section 300 is away from the vehicle body, thereby preventing the secondary ladder section 200 of the ladder assembly from being too close to the vehicle body, thereby preventing the secondary ladder section 200 from shaking and contacting with the vehicle body or even scratching the vehicle body, thereby improving the user experience.

[0087] At this point, those skilled in the art should recognize that, although multiple exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications consistent with the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or deduced from the contents disclosed herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
