The hinge rod 5 is arranged between the first abutting wall 151 and the rotating pin 3 and close to the first abutting wall 151, so as to avoid the two first abutting walls 151 from being deformed and dislocated. The arrangement of the first abutting wall 151 and the second abutting wall 22 is conducive to the stable deployment of the ladder joint and avoids the first swing arm 1 and the second swing arm 2 from shaking during use.

The limiting wall 21 and the hinge rod 5 can support the deployment of the first swing arm 1 and the second swing arm 2. The structure is simple and convenient for production and processing. In this structure, the hinge rod 5 has high strength and is not easy to be deformed and damaged, which is conducive to the stable deployment of the first swing arm 1 and the second swing arm 2, and can avoid the deformation of the hinge rod 5 and the limiting wall 21, which causes the first swing arm 1 and the second swing arm 2 to shake during use, which is conducive to extending the service life of the ladder joint.

[0042] The second swing arm 2 is inserted into the hinge groove 14 and is rotatably connected to the first swing arm 1. The hinge rod 5 is inserted into the hinge groove 14. The limiting wall 21 is inserted into the hinge groove 14 and abuts against the hinge rod 5. Since the limiting wall 21 is inserted into the hinge groove 14 and abuts against the hinge rod 5, the limiting wall 21 and the hinge rod 5 are prevented from being deflected during use to affect the contact between the limiting wall 21 and the side wall of the hinge rod 5, and stress concentration is avoided to cause damage to the limiting wall 21 and the hinge rod 5, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the ladder joint.
