[0022] Example:

[0023] This application discloses a pneumatic telescopic movable step bracket assembly. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-4The system includes four folding frames 1. Each folding frame 1 has a footrest 2 on its top. Each folding frame 1 has a linkage frame 3 on both sides of one end of its outer wall. Bolts 4 penetrate the linkage frame 3 on the side furthest from the folding frame 1. Handrail supports 5 are provided on both sides of the folding frame 1 furthest from the linkage frame 3. Handrails 6 are positioned opposite each other on the handrail supports 5. Evenly distributed anti-slip grooves 8 are provided on the top of each footrest 2. Both ends of each handrail 6 have docking positioning blocks 9. A drive mechanism 7 is installed on the top linkage frame 3. The linkage frames 3 are connected to the folding frames 1 by bolts 4. The handrails 6 are staggered. Each folding frame is equipped with a footrest 2 on its top, providing a stable standing platform for the user. The foot pedal surface is designed with evenly distributed anti-slip grooves 8, effectively enhancing stability and safety during stepping and preventing slips. On both sides of one end of the outer wall of the folding frame 1, linkage frames 3 are cleverly installed. These linkage frames not only serve as structural supports but are also tightly connected to the folding frame via bolts 4, achieving a stable connection and quick assembly / disassembly between components, facilitating maintenance and replacement. To improve the user experience, each folding frame has a handrail support 5 at the end furthest from the linkage frame, with staggered handrails 6 installed between these support rods. The handrail design is not only ergonomic, helping users maintain balance when stepping up and down, but the mating positioning blocks 9 at both ends also ensure the accuracy and stability of the handrail installation.

[0024] The installation drive mechanism 7 includes a clamping plate 701, a mounting frame 702 at the bottom of the clamping plate 701, an extension plate 703 on the side of the mounting frame 702 away from the handrail support 5, symmetrical pump fixing plates 704 at the bottom of the extension plate 703, hydraulic pumps 705 opposite each other on the pump fixing plates 704, a hydraulic telescopic rod 706 at the output end of the hydraulic pump 705, a connector 707 at one end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 706, and a protective device at the top of the clamping plate 701. The mounting frame 702 features symmetrical mating clamping plates 709, with symmetrical through-posts 710 between the mating clamping plates 709 and clamping plates 701. The connecting piece 707, on the side away from the hydraulic telescopic rod 706, is fixed to the footrest 2. The clamping plate 701 serves as the top support of the mounting frame, not only securely connecting the entire drive mechanism but also featuring anti-slip textures 708 on its top to prevent slippage during operation and improve safety. The mounting frame 702, as the basic structure of the drive mechanism, provides a stable mounting platform for other components. An extension plate 703 is located on the side away from the handrail support 5, further supporting and securing key components such as the hydraulic pump. The extension plate 703 serves as a transition structure connecting the mounting frame 702 and the pump fixing plate 704. The pump mounting plate 704 securely mounts the hydraulic pump 705, ensuring its stability and reliability during operation. The hydraulic pump 705, acting as a power source, drives the hydraulic telescopic rod 706 to extend and retract via hydraulic pressure. One end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 706 is connected to the foot pedal 2 via a connector 707, enabling the adjustment of the step bracket's extension and retraction. The connector 707 serves as a bridge between the hydraulic telescopic rod 706 and the foot pedal 2, ensuring accurate and efficient power transmission. A clamping plate 709 and a through-post 710 are also present, with the clamping plate 709 and clamping plate 701 positioned opposite each other and connected and fixed via the through-post 710. This design not only enhances the overall stability of the drive mechanism but also facilitates disassembly and maintenance when needed.

[0025] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
