Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modification of the structure, change in the proportional relationship or adjustment of the size should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in the present invention without affecting the effects and purposes that can be achieved by the present invention. At the same time, if there are references to terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "one" in this specification, they are only for the convenience of description and are not used to limit the scope of the implementation of the present invention. Changes or adjustments in their relative relationships should also be considered as the scope of the implementation of the present invention without substantially changing the technical content.

[0024] The foldable upper bucket step ladder in this embodiment includes a fixed step ladder 1, a flip step ladder 2, a pin shaft 3 and a latch assembly 4. The flip step ladder 2 is rotatably installed on the fixed step ladder 1 through the pin shaft 3, and the flip step ladder 2 and the fixed step ladder 1 are fixed through the latch assembly 4.

[0025] The fixed step ladder 1 in this embodiment includes a fixed plate 1-1, a fixed column 1-2, a fixed pedal 1-3 and a fixed mounting groove 1-4, and a fixed reinforcement plate 1-5 is fixed to the bottom of the fixed pedal 1-3. The flip step ladder 2 includes a flip column 2-1 and a flip pedal 2-2, and a flip reinforcement plate 2-5 is fixed to the bottom of the flip pedal 2-2.

[0026] The fixed plate 1-1 in this embodiment is fixed to one end of the fixed column 1-2, the other end of the fixed column 1-2 is fixed to the fixed pedal 1-3, the fixed pedal 1-3 is provided with a fixed installation groove 1-4, one end of the flip column 2-1 is installed in the fixed installation groove 1-4 through a pin shaft 3, the other end of the flip column 2-1 is fixed to the flip pedal 2-2, the flip pedal 2-2 is provided with a flip handle 2-3 and a flip pad 2-4, and the flip pad 2-4 is in contact with the fixed column 1-2.

[0027] The latch assembly 4 in this embodiment includes a latch frame 4-1, a latch body 4-2, a first latch hole 4-3 and a second latch hole 4-4. The latch frame 4-1 is fixed on the fixed pedal 1-3, the latch body 4-2 is arranged on the latch frame 4-1, the first latch hole 4-3 and the second latch hole 4-4 are both arranged on the flip column 2-1, and the first latch hole 4-3 and the second latch hole 4-4 are respectively located on both sides of the pin shaft 3, and the latch body 4-2 is inserted into the first latch hole 4-3 or the second latch hole 4-4.

[0028] Specifically, the foldable upper bucket step ladder is installed in the limited space of the aerial vehicle through the fixing plate 1-1. When the operator needs to enter the working bucket and the height is not high enough, the flip step ladder 2 can be rotated 180 degrees along the pin shaft 3 and the latch body 4-2 can be inserted into the first latch hole 4-3 (as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown) to raise the stepping height, on the contrary, if there is no need to increase the height of the upper bucket step ladder, the latch body 4-2 can be inserted into the second latch hole 4-4 (as shown Figure 2 (as shown) to prevent the flip step ladder 2 from shaking.

[0029] The foldable upper bucket step ladder is secured to the vehicle via a fixed plate 1-1. A fixed reinforcement plate 1-5 ensures sufficient strength for the fixed step 1-3. A pin 3 passes through the fixed step 1-3 and connects to the tilting column 2-1. The tilting reinforcement plate 2-5 ensures sufficient strength for the tilting step 2-2. The tilting handle 2-3 facilitates operation of the tilting step 2-2. The tilting pad 2-4 prevents the tilting step 2-2 from colliding with the fixed column 1-2 during rotation, potentially damaging the paint. This foldable upper bucket step ladder takes up little space, has a high step height, and can be used normally when not in the tilting position.
