Detailed Implementation
[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0025] This utility model discloses a telescopic flip-up step, which includes a storage box 1, two telescopic guide rails 2 horizontally installed in the storage box, and a flip-up step installed on the telescopic guide rails; the flip-up step extends or retracts into the storage box along the telescopic guide rails.
[0026] Figure 1 The diagram shows the steps retracting into the storage box. Figure 2 The diagram shows the steps extending out of the storage box. Figure 3 The diagram shows the step extending out of the storage box and flipping open. The telescopic flip-up step can be used in vehicles. When not in use, the step is flipped open and retracted into the storage box without affecting vehicle movement; when in use, the step is flipped open and extended from the storage box when the vehicle is parked, making it convenient for people to get in and out.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the flip-up step includes a fixed step assembly 3 and a flip-up step assembly 4. The fixed step assembly is fixed to the telescopic guide rail 2; the flip-up step assembly is hinged to the bottom end of the fixed step assembly. The fixed step assembly 3 can only move horizontally along the telescopic guide rail 2, extending or retracting into the storage box. The flip-up step assembly 4 can be flipped down for easy access; it can also be flipped up and folded together with the fixed step assembly for easy storage.
[0028] See Figure 4The diagram shows a three-dimensional view of the steps extending out of the storage box and unfolded. The fixed step assembly 3 includes a left fixed step plate 3a and a right fixed step plate 3b distributed on the left and right sides, and a pedal 5 connecting the left and right fixed step plates. Both the left and right fixed step plates adopt a right-angled trapezoidal plate structure, with their right-angled sides facing the inside of the storage box 1 and their hypotenuses facing the outside of the storage box. The sides of the left and right fixed step plates are respectively fixed to two telescopic guide rails 2.
[0029] See Figure 4 In the preferred embodiment shown, a connecting rod 8 is provided between the left side plate 3a and the right side plate 3b of the fixed step. The connecting rod 8 can both increase the strength of the fixed step assembly 3 and can also be used as a handle in the push-pull telescopic flip-up step.
[0030] To increase the structural strength of the flip-up step, the outer frame of the storage box 1 is provided with a pin hole 10, and the right-angled sides of the left side plate 3a and the right side plate 3b of the fixed step are provided with pins 9. When the fixed step assembly 3 extends out of the storage box and the right-angled side coincides with the outer frame of the storage box, the pin is inserted into the pin hole to limit the movement of the telescopic flip-up step. The pin 9 inserted into the pin hole 10 has two functions: first, to prevent the flip-up step from moving horizontally; second, when people stand on the pedal 5, the fixed step assembly bears a downward force and a counterclockwise rotational force (to... Figure 3 For example, pin 9 can share some of the force and play a role in stabilizing the flipping step.
[0031] See Figure 4 In the preferred embodiment shown, the flip-step assembly 4 includes a left flip-step plate 4a and a right flip-step plate 4b distributed on the left and right sides, and a pedal 5 connecting the left flip-step plate 3a and the right flip-step plate 3b; the lower corner of the inclined side of the fixed step left plate 3a and the fixed step right plate 3b ( Figure 2 and Figure 3 The lower left corner of the left side plate 3a is defined as the connecting angle; both the left and right side plates of the flip step adopt an isosceles trapezoidal plate structure, and one corner of its long side is hinged to the connecting angle of the left side plate 3a and the right side plate 3b of the fixed step.
[0032] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the preferred embodiment shown, a limiting block 6 is provided at the connecting corner of the left side plate 3a and the right side plate 3b of the fixed step. When the flip step assembly 4 is flipped down, the limiting block abuts against the waist of the left side plate 4a and the right side plate 4b of the flip step, respectively, to prevent the flip step assembly from continuing to rotate counterclockwise, so that the flip step assembly is kept tilted, making it convenient for people to get up and down.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, a hook 7 is provided between the bottom edge of the fixed step left side plate 3a or the fixed step right side plate 3b and the waist edge of the corresponding flip step left side plate 4a and flip step right side plate 4b. (See also...) Figure 1 , 2 Hook 7 is hinged to the left side plate 3a of the fixed step, and pin 11 is provided on the left side plate 4a of the flip step. When the left side plate 4a of the flip step is flipped down, the user can manually hook hook 7 counterclockwise to lock pin 11, which can increase stability and prevent the flip step assembly from rotating clockwise.
[0034] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 The fixed step assembly 3 has two parallel pedals 5, and the flip-up step assembly 4 has two parallel pedals 5. When the flip-up step assembly is flipped down, the distance between adjacent pedals is equal, and all pedals are located on the same inclined plane on the side away from the storage box 1. This makes it neat and aesthetically pleasing, and can increase the user experience.
[0035] Combination Figures 1 to 4 The storage box 1 includes a door 1a, and the door is equipped with a lock 1b. The door 1a can be closed after the flip-top step is retracted into the storage box 1.
[0036] This utility model also discloses a motorhome, which includes a carriage and the above-mentioned telescopic flip-up step is provided under the carriage.
[0037] The above embodiments are merely illustrative and not intended to be limiting. Any equivalent modifications or alterations made without departing from the spirit and scope of this application should be included within the scope of the claims of this application.
