Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of swimming pools, in particular to a swimming pool escalator. Background Art

[0002] A pool ladder is a fixed metal structure with handrails and steps, installed at the edge of the pool to facilitate swimmers in and out of the pool and provide a safe entry and exit channel. For those who cannot swim or have poor swimming skills, a pool ladder is a relatively safe way to enter and exit the pool. For the elderly, children or people with physical disabilities, a pool ladder can greatly reduce the difficulty of their entry and exit of the water.

[0003] At present, some swimming pools are equipped with protective covers so that the pool can be covered for protection when not in use or for maintenance. However, the pool ladder installed on the edge of the pool is easily interfered with by the protective cover because it protrudes upward from the edge of the pool, causing the protective cover to have to be increased in height, thus causing inconvenience in use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a swimming pool escalator to solve the above problems existing in the current swimming pool escalators.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A swimming pool escalator comprises an upper handrail assembly and a lower footrest assembly, wherein two upper handrail assemblies are provided, and the two upper handrail assemblies are arranged at intervals on the ground outside the swimming pool, and the lower footrest assembly comprises two support columns and pedals arranged at intervals, the support columns are arranged in the up and down directions and connected to the inner wall of the swimming pool, and the pedal is connected between the two support columns, the upper handrail assembly comprises a fixing member and an inverted U-shaped handrail member, the fixing member is fixed to the ground outside the swimming pool, the inverted U-shaped handrail member has a first end and a second end, the first end is hinged to the fixing member, and the second end is detachably connected to the support column. When the second end is detached from the support column, the inverted U-shaped handrail member can be flipped to the ground outside the swimming pool.

[0007] Furthermore, the fixing member includes a fixing flange and a hinged seat, the fixing flange is used to be fixed on the ground outside the swimming pool, the hinged seat is connected to the fixing flange, the first end has a hinged plate, the hinged plate is hinged to the hinged seat, and after the second end is detached from the support column, the inverted U-shaped handrail member is flipped to the ground outside the swimming pool.

[0008] Furthermore, an anti-slip cover is provided on the inverted U-shaped handrail piece. After the inverted U-shaped handrail piece is turned over to the ground outside the swimming pool, the anti-slip cover contacts the ground outside the swimming pool.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer wall of the second end portion is provided with a first threaded portion, the upper end of the support column is provided with a second threaded portion, and the second end portion or the support column is provided with a threaded sleeve, and the first threaded portion or the second threaded portion is connected through the threaded sleeve to connect the support column and the inverted U-shaped handrail member.

[0010] Furthermore, connecting columns are provided at the upper and lower parts of the support columns, and the connecting columns are connected to the inner wall of the swimming pool.

[0011] Furthermore, the pedal is extended along the support column toward the inner wall of the swimming pool and abuts against the inner wall of the swimming pool.

[0012] Furthermore, an anti-slip pad is provided on the pedal.

[0013] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0014] This pool ladder features a reversible upper handrail assembly, detachably connected to the support column. This allows the handrail assembly to be easily flipped over to the pool's exterior when needed (such as when installing a protective cover), effectively preventing interference between the ladder and the protective cover. This design not only facilitates the use of the protective cover but also improves the overall flexibility and convenience of the pool. At the same time, this pool ladder maintains the functionality and safety of the original ladder, providing swimmers with a stable path in and out of the pool. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the utility model provides a swimming pool ladder, comprising an upper handrail assembly 1 and a lower footrest assembly 2.

[0025] Two upper handrail assemblies 1 are provided, spaced apart and arranged on the poolside floor. Specifically, the upper handrail assemblies 1 include a fixing member 11 and an inverted U-shaped handrail member 12. The fixing member 11 is fixed to the poolside floor. The inverted U-shaped handrail member 12 has a first end 121 and a second end 122.

[0026] like Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, the fixing member 11 includes a fixing flange 111 and a hinge seat 112. The fixing flange 111 is used to be fixed to the surface outside the swimming pool, and the hinge seat 112 is connected to the fixing flange 111. The first end 121 has a hinge plate 123, which is hinged to the hinge seat 112, allowing the inverted U-shaped handrail member 12 to be flipped relative to the fixing member 11.

[0027] The lower footrest assembly 2 includes two spaced-apart support columns 21 and a pedal 22. The support columns 21 are arranged vertically and connected to the inner wall of the pool. Specifically, connecting columns 211 are provided at the upper and lower portions of the support columns 21. These connecting columns 211 connect to the inner wall of the pool, securing the support columns 21 to the inner wall of the pool.

[0028] The pedal 22 is connected between the two support columns 21. The pedal 22 extends along the support columns 21 toward the inner wall of the swimming pool and abuts against the inner wall of the swimming pool, thereby increasing the stability of the pedal 22. Furthermore, an anti-slip pad 221 is provided on the pedal 22 to improve safety during use.

[0029] The second end portion 122 is detachably connected to the support column 21. Specifically, Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the outer wall of the second end portion 122 is provided with a first threaded portion 124, and the upper end of the support column 21 is provided with a second threaded portion 212. A threaded sleeve 3 is provided on the second end portion 122 or the support column 21, and the first threaded portion 124 or the second threaded portion 212 is connected through the threaded sleeve 3 to connect the support column 21 and the inverted U-shaped handrail member 12.

[0030] After the second end 122 is detached from the support column 21, the inverted U-shaped handrail 12 can be flipped onto the ground outside the swimming pool. To increase the stability and comfort of the inverted U-shaped handrail 12 after it is flipped onto the ground, an anti-slip cover 125 is provided on the inverted U-shaped handrail 12. After the inverted U-shaped handrail 12 is flipped onto the ground outside the swimming pool, the anti-slip cover 125 contacts the ground outside the swimming pool.

[0031] When using the swimming pool ladder of the present invention, the second ends 122 of the inverted U-shaped handrail members 12 of the two upper handrail assemblies 1 are connected to the support columns 21 via threaded sleeves 3. Swimmers can enter and exit the swimming pool via the upper handrail assemblies 1 and the lower footrest assembly 2. When it is necessary to install a protective cover above the swimming pool, the threaded sleeves 3 are removed from the second ends 122 and the support columns 21, and the inverted U-shaped handrail members 12 are then flipped over onto the ground outside the swimming pool. At this point, the protective cover can be installed above the swimming pool, preventing interference between the swimming pool ladder and the protective cover and facilitating its use.

[0032] Obviously, the embodiments described are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
