Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary devices for large-scale mechanical equipment, in particular to a foldable equipment ladder. Background Art
[0002] When operating large-scale machinery, such as mobile heavy-duty screening plants, operators need a ladder to reach higher areas due to the equipment's height. To facilitate climbing, the ladder's height and deployment angle must be ergonomically designed. Specifically, the ladder should be low enough for the operator to easily step onto the steps, and wide enough to ensure the climbing path is unobstructed by other equipment structures. However, a low ladder height and wide deployment angle would make the overall dimensions of the equipment excessively wide and low, making it difficult to navigate narrow or raised sections during long-distance transport or short-distance movement.
[0003] Existing ladders are categorized as either welded or assembled. Welded ladders have the steps welded directly to the equipment frame, making them completely fixed and non-adjustable. The overall structure of the steps is likely to be ergonomically unsuitable, making it inconvenient for operators to climb the equipment. If the steps become damaged during use, they cannot be replaced and must be re-welded. Assembled ladders are split-piece installations, requiring them to be attached to the equipment frame when in use and completely disassembled and stored elsewhere when not in use. Furthermore, split-piece installations require the use of bolts and other fasteners, making assembly and disassembly inconvenient and time-consuming.
[0004] To this end, we propose a foldable equipment ladder. Utility Model Content

[0024] Example 1: A foldable equipment ladder, such as Figure 1-Figure 2As shown, the pedal frame body 10 is included. The pedal frame body 10 enables the equipment operator to step on and climb. The pedal frame body 10 and the support rod 11 are hinged together by a first connecting assembly, and the two can rotate relative to each other. The first connecting assembly includes a fixed pin and a cotter pin. A folding fixing hole 12 is provided at the middle end of the front of the support rod 11, and an unfolding fixing hole 13 is provided on the right side of the front of the support rod 11. A connecting frame 14 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the right side wall of the pedal frame body 10, so that the two become one. A pedal frame fixing hole 15 is provided on the front of the connecting frame 14. The connecting frame 14 and the support frame body 17 are hinged together by a second connecting assembly, and the two can rotate relative to each other. The support frame body 17 and the frame are hinged together by a third connecting assembly, and the two can rotate relative to each other. The pedal frame body 10 and the support rod 11 are movably connected by the first connecting assembly, and the connecting frame 14 and the support frame body 17 are movably connected by the second connecting assembly, so that the entire device can be folded for use. A polyurethane pad 19 is installed on the support frame body 17 so that the support frame body 17 will not knock against the paint surface of the frame when it contacts the frame. There are two types of holes on the support rod 11 for fixing it to the frame, one hole is a folding fixing hole 12, and the other hole is an unfolding fixing hole 13. When the device is in a folded state, the folding fixing hole 12 is used to fix it to the frame, and the pedal frame fixing hole 15 and the first support frame fixing hole 18 are used to fix it to the frame. The pin shaft 21 on the first quick connection component 16 and the second quick connection component 23 are both installed with an elastic cotter pin 22 to prevent the pin shaft 21 from falling off. Before the pin shaft 21 needs to be inserted or removed, the elastic cotter pin 22 can be quickly pulled out first, and then the pin shaft 21 can be pulled out. The overall disassembly and assembly are convenient, which improves the operational convenience of the entire device.
[0025] Example 2: Based on Example 1, Figure 2 As shown, the inner wall of the connecting frame (14) is provided with a second connecting component, and the structure of the second connecting component is consistent with the first connecting component, and the inner wall of the connecting frame 14 is movably mounted with a support frame body 17 through the second connecting component; a first support frame fixing hole 18 is opened on the front of the support frame body 17, and a first quick connecting component 16 is set at the first support frame fixing hole 18 on the inner wall of the support frame body 17; a polyurethane pad 19 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the right side wall of the support frame body 17; a second support frame fixing hole 20 is opened on the right side of the upper end of the front of the support frame body 17, and a third connecting component is set at the second support frame fixing hole 20 on the inner wall of the support frame body 17, and the structure of the third connecting component is consistent with the first connecting component; by setting the polyurethane pad 19, the polyurethane pad 19 is installed on the support frame body 17, so that the support frame body 17 will not knock against the paint surface of the frame when it contacts the frame, thereby improving the use effect of the entire device.
[0026] Example 3: Based on Example 1 and Example 2, Figure 3 As shown, the first quick-connect assembly 16 includes a pin 21, the inner wall of which movably engages an elastic cotter pin 22. The structure of the second quick-connect assembly 23 is consistent with that of the first quick-connect assembly 16. In the first quick-connect assembly 16, the outer wall of the pin 21 movably connects to the inner wall of the support frame body 17. In the second quick-connect assembly 23, the outer wall of the pin 21 movably connects to the fixing hole on the frame and the inner wall of the support rod 11. The provision of the connecting frame 14 assists in the folding and storage of the support frame body 17. When folding and storing, the support frame body 17 can be folded and stored together with the pedal frame body 10, thereby improving the folding and use efficiency of the entire device.
[0027] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: the pedal frame body 10 and the support rod 11 are always hinged together by a first connecting assembly, and the two can rotate relative to each other; the pedal frame body 10 and the connecting frame 14 are fixedly installed as one, and the connecting frame 14 and the support frame body 17 are always hinged together by a second connecting assembly, and the two can rotate relative to each other; the support frame body 17 and the frame are always hinged together by a third connecting assembly, and the two can rotate relative to each other; in the unfolded state, the polyurethane pad 19 installed on the support frame body 17 is in contact with the frame, and the support rod 11 and the frame are connected together by a second quick connecting assembly 23; at this time, the pedal frame body 10, the support frame body 17 and the support rod 11 are all fixedly supported and cannot rotate, and this device can be used to climb equipment. When the device needs to be folded, the second quick connection component 23 inserted into the unfolding fixing hole 13 on the support rod 11 is pulled out. At this time, the fixed support of the pedal frame body 10, the support frame body 17 and the support rod 11 is released, and the three can rotate around their respective hinge points; the first quick connection component 16 inserted into the first support frame fixing hole 18 is pulled out, and the pedal frame body 10 is lifted upward, and the support frame body 17 and the support rod 11 move accordingly until the pedal frame fixing hole 15 and the first support frame fixing hole 18 are aligned with the fixing hole on the frame, and the first quick connection component 16 pulled out before is inserted to fix the three together; rotate the support rod 11 until the folding fixing hole 12 on the support rod 11 is aligned with the fixing hole on the frame, and the second quick connection component 23 pulled out before is inserted to fix the two together; at this point, the device enters the folding state.
