[0025] like Figure 1As shown, the step shaft structure 5 comprises a hollow structure at the center axis of the step shaft body 51. A step assembly connecting shaft 52 of the same size is inserted and assembled on both sides of the step shaft body 51, creating a symmetrical structure. A fixing hole 53 is provided between the step shaft body 51 and the step assembly connecting shaft 52, which is used to secure the connection during the subsequent assembly of the step chain. The mating surfaces between the step shaft body 51 and the step assembly connecting shaft 52 are bonded together to ensure a tight fit. The step shaft structure 5, which is composed of the step shaft body 51 and the step assembly connecting shaft 52, is provided with an elastic cylindrical pin 6 within the fixing hole 53, providing greater flexibility during assembly and disassembly, and reducing damage to the fixing points during assembly and disassembly. This allows for smooth assembly and disassembly. The structure is manufactured and processed in a detachable assembly manner, allowing it to be used with step chains of various specifications.

[0026] A novel step shaft assembly, characterized in that: a clamping assembly 4 is provided on the outer side of the step shaft body 51 at the position of the fastening combination hole 53, which can ensure better fitting and fastening of the step shaft body structure. A wear-resistant bushing 3 is provided on the outer side of the step combination connecting shaft 52 and at the end face fitting position in the longitudinal direction of the step shaft body 51, and the fitting position has a reliable wear-resistant effect during use. The wear-resistant bushing 3 is made of plastic material through injection molding. The wear-resistant bushing 3 and the end face position in the longitudinal direction of the step shaft body 51 are fitted together through a limiting groove 31. The wear-resistant bushing 3 is provided with a positioning hole 32 and an oiling hole 33, and can be regularly refueled to increase the wear resistance and service life of the bushing. The clamping assembly 4 comprises two joined clamping half-rings 41. The inner sides of the clamping half-rings 41 form a semi-cylindrical groove that mates with the step shaft body 51. The groove is provided with a position-avoiding limit groove 45. The outer sides of the clamping half-rings 41 are provided with a misalignment-marking groove 46. The two clamping half-rings 41 are fastened together by bolts 42, spring washers 43, and flat washers 44. This assembly provides enhanced stability, reliable shock resistance, and increased durability and safety during use. By adopting a combined production method, the step shaft assembly can be assembled and matched to different specifications as needed, thereby meeting the production and processing requirements of step chains of varying specifications. This provides greater flexibility and convenience, and reduces the cost of producing step chains of varying specifications. The clamping ring, formed by the step shaft assembly being assembled through the plastic protective sleeve, facilitates assembly and assembly, improves structural stability, facilitates assembly and disassembly, increases overall assembly efficiency, and enhances ease of maintenance.

[0027] Preferably, the matching position of the step combination connecting shaft 52 and the step shaft body 51 is provided with a precise sliding combination stabilizing structure to ensure better combination stability and higher combination accuracy during matching, and the connection strength during matching can also be further improved.

[0028] Preferably, conical combined guide surfaces are provided on both sides of the elastic cylindrical pin 6, and the center position of the elastic cylindrical pin 6 is a hollow structure. One side of the hollow structure is provided with an elastic deformation safety groove that penetrates the inside and outside, which is more convenient when assembling, and the processing cost of this structure during production is also relatively low.

[0029] Preferably, the outer side of the limiting groove 31 is provided with a combined chamfer structure for easy assembly, and the outer side of the oil filling hole 33 is provided with an oil filling guide groove, which is more convenient during fitting and smoother during oil filling.

[0030] Preferably, the positioning hole 32 and the oil filling hole 33 are located at opposite positions on the cylindrical surface of the wear-resistant sleeve 3, so that they have less impact on the strength of the main structure and better durability during use.

[0031] A ladder chain composed of a new type of ladder shaft, characterized in that: the two ends of the ladder shaft structure 5 are respectively connected to the ladder chain body 1 through special-shaped pins, and the two ends of the ladder shaft structure 5 are matched with the special-shaped pins, and ladder chain stabilizing rollers 2 are provided near the position of the ladder chain body 1, and the two ends of the elastic cylindrical pin 6 are located in the avoidance limit groove 45. When producing ladder chains of different sizes, production and processing can be carried out by adjusting the ladder shaft, and the overall production and processing operation is more convenient. The disassembly and assembly steps during production and use are: loosen the clamping ring component → knock out the elastic cylindrical pin → push the ladder shaft to one side of the ladder chain → misalign the ladder shaft with the special-shaped pin of the ladder chain on the other side → take out and replace the ladder shaft and shaft assembly. Maintenance operations are more convenient, and the combination efficiency during production is also higher.

[0032] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements or substitutions can be made without departing from the principles described in the present invention. These improvements or substitutions should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
