Specifically, a mounting base 13 is provided on the roof walkway 103, located on the side of the roof walkway 103 facing away from the tank body 101. One end of the upright post 11 is hingedly connected to the mounting base 13, and the other end is hingedly connected to the crossbar 12. Multiple upright posts 11 are spaced apart along the length of the tank body 101. For example, seven upright posts 11 are provided, evenly and spaced apart. Alternatively, six, eight, or another suitable number of upright posts 11 may be provided. The crossbar 12 extends along the length of the tank body 101 and is connected to each upright post 11. Furthermore, a damper is connected to each upright post 11. One end of the damper is connected to the upright post 11, and the other end is connected to the tank body 101. Specifically, a protruding bracket is provided on the tank body 101, and one end of the damper is mounted on the tank body 101 via the protruding bracket. Furthermore, the damper is connected to the middlemost column 11, that is, the damper is connected to the fourth column 11. Alternatively, the damper can also be connected to other suitable columns 11.
[0031] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the folded state of a movable walkway railing of the utility model. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the ladder 3 is mounted on the vehicle body 100, with one end of the ladder 3 fixed to the roof walkway 103 and the other end fixed to the bracket 102. Furthermore, a limiter 31 is provided on the ladder 3. The limiter 31 includes a limiter ear 32 mounted on the ladder 3 and a limiter hole 33 provided in the connecting rod drive structure 2. By inserting and removing a pin or bolt through the limiter hole 33 and the limiter ear 32, the limiter ear 32 and the connecting rod drive structure 2 form a removable fixed connection. Furthermore, two limiters 32 can be provided: one for the folded state of the railing body 1 and one for the erected state of the railing body 1. Alternatively, a single limiter ear 32 can be provided, corresponding only to the erected state of the railing body 1 to ensure stability in the erected state. Alternatively, a single limiter ear 32 can be provided, corresponding only to the folded state of the railing body 1, with a damper ensuring stability in the erected state.
[0032] Continue to see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one or more embodiments, the connecting rod drive structure 2 includes a first connecting rod 21, a second connecting rod 22, and a driving member 24. The two ends of the first connecting rod 21 are respectively connected to the column 11 and the second connecting rod 22 in a hinged manner. The second connecting rod 22 is pivotally connected to the vehicle body 100, and the two ends of the second connecting rod 22 are respectively connected to the first connecting rod 21 and the driving member 24. Specifically, a connecting plate 25 is arranged on the column 11, and the connecting plate 25 is arranged on the column 11 near the rear of the tank body 101. The first connecting rod 21 and the connecting plate 25 are connected in a hinged manner. Alternatively, the connecting plate 25 can also be arranged on other columns 11, and the first connecting rod 21 is connected in a hinged manner to the other columns 11. Furthermore, a pivot plate 26 is provided on the roof walkway 103, and the pivot plate 26 is fixedly connected to the roof walkway 103, and the second connecting rod 22 is pivotally connected to the pivot plate 26. Specifically, a pivot axis is provided on the pivot plate 26, and a pivot hole is provided in the middle of the second connecting rod 22 to match the pivot axis. The second connecting rod 22 rotates with the pivot axis as the pivot point. The second connecting rod 22 is driven by the driving member 24 to rotate, thereby driving the first connecting rod 21, and in turn driving the upright 11 to stand up or fold. Alternatively, the pivot plate 26 can be mounted on the tank body 101. For example, the driving member 24 is fixedly connected to the second connecting rod 22, so that when the driving member 24 rotates, it can also drive the second connecting rod 22 to rotate.
[0033] Continue to see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3In one or more embodiments, a third connecting rod 23 is provided between the second connecting rod 22 and the driving member 24, and the two ends of the third connecting rod 23 are respectively hingedly connected with the second connecting rod 22 and the driving member 24. The driving member 24 drives the third connecting rod 23 to move, and the third connecting rod 23 drives the second connecting rod 22 to rotate, thereby driving the first connecting rod 21 and the column 11 to move. Specifically, the driving member 24 is a flip ladder and is hingedly connected with the ladder 3. That is, the driving member 24 has the same structure as the ladder 3, and one end of the driving member 24 is hingedly mounted on the ladder 3. Furthermore, the hinge position of the driving member 24 is close to the end of the ladder 3, so that the driving member 24 can replace part of the ladder 3, extend the length of the ladder 3, and save the material of the ladder 3. Alternatively, the driving member 24 can be driven by a mechanical structure, such as a cylinder.
[0034] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: remove the pin or bolt on the limit member 31, rotate the driving member 24 with the hinge of the driving member 24 and the ladder 3 as the axis, and the third connecting rod 23 moves with the action of the driving member 24, driving the right end of the second connecting rod 22 to move up, and the left end of the second connecting rod 22 to move down, driving the first connecting rod 21 to move, and then the first pull rod pulls the column 11 to the left, and the column 11 rotates to the left with the mounting seat 13 as the axis until the column 11 rotates to the horizontal state, the driving member 24 just contacts the ladder 3, and the railing body 1 switches from the upright state to the folded state, and the pin or bolt on the limit member 31 is inserted to lock the folded state; on the contrary, rotate the driving member 24 in the opposite direction, the railing body 1 switches from the folded state to the upright device, and inserts the pin or bolt on the limit member 31 to prevent the railing body 1 from folding.
