Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of semi-trailer ladders, and more specifically to a semi-trailer ladder with a support structure. Background Technology

[0002] Folding ramps are an important component of semi-trailers. When the folding ramps are lowered, other vehicles or heavy equipment to be transported can be moved onto the semi-trailer via the folding ramps.

[0003] Existing ladders, designed to facilitate the climbing of vehicles and heavy equipment, often have a relatively gentle angle, resulting in a longer ladder length. When loading transport vehicles or heavy equipment, excessive weight can cause the ladder to bend in the middle, thus affecting the loading process.

[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution is needed in this field to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To improve or solve the technical problem of easy bending in the middle of the ladder in the prior art, this utility model provides a semi-trailer ladder with a support structure. The semi-trailer ladder includes: a ladder body adapted to form a hinged connection with the vehicle frame; a support structure including a support frame hinged to the ladder body, a support rod telescopically connected to the support frame, and a locking member installed on the ladder body; the support frame and the support rod are fixedly connected by a pin; the locking member includes a mounting seat installed on the ladder body and a pin slidably connected to the mounting seat, and a socket for the pin is provided on the support rod.

[0006] This utility model discloses a semi-trailer ladder with a support structure, comprising a ladder body and a support structure. The support structure includes a support frame, support rods, and locking components. The support frame and support rods form a telescopic connection and are fixedly connected by a pin, allowing the height of the support structure to be adjusted according to actual conditions, thus facilitating support for the ladder body and preventing it from bending. Simultaneously, it allows for convenient installation and disassembly of various components on the ladder body during inspection and maintenance. The locking components are installed on the ladder body and form a plug-in connection with the support rods, allowing for easy retraction of the support frame and support rods onto the ladder body, preventing them from swaying and damaging the ladder body. Through the above design, this utility model discloses a semi-trailer ladder with a support structure. When the support frame and support rods are lowered, they support the ladder body, preventing bending; and when retracted, the locking components limit movement, preventing the support frame and support rods from swaying and damaging the ladder body.

[0007] Furthermore, a return spring is provided between the pin and the mounting base.

[0008] Furthermore, the mounting base includes a mounting plate connected to the ladder body, a first ear plate arranged at one end of the mounting plate, and a second ear plate arranged at the other end of the mounting plate; a limiting plate is provided on the pin and arranged between the first ear plate and the second ear plate; the return spring is sleeved on the circumferential outer side of the pin, and one end of the spring abuts against the limiting plate and the other end abuts against the first ear plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the pin includes a connecting portion connected to the mounting base and a handle portion arranged at an angle to the connecting portion.

[0010] Furthermore, a through hole matching the pin is provided on the support frame, and a plurality of limiting holes are provided on the support rod along the length direction of the support rod. The pin passes through the through hole and the limiting hole to connect the support frame and the support rod.

[0011] Furthermore, a support base is provided at the end of the support rod away from the support frame.

[0012] Furthermore, a hinge cylinder is provided on the main body of the ladder, and the support frame is rotatably sleeved on the outer circumferential side of the hinge cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, the ladder body is connected to a hydraulic cylinder, one end of which is hinged to the ladder body and the other end is adapted to be hinged to the vehicle frame.

[0014] In summary, compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The support frame and support rod form a telescopic connection, and are also fixedly connected by a pin. This allows the height of the support structure to be adjusted according to actual conditions, facilitating support for the ladder body and preventing it from bending. Locking devices are installed on the ladder body and interlock with the support rods, allowing for easy retraction of the support frame and rods onto the ladder body, preventing them from wobbling and damaging the ladder body.
