Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the utility model will be further described below.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a general-purpose cabin work ladder includes a rear ladder frame 2, a front ladder frame 15, and an upper ladder frame 6 hinged to the front ladder frame 15.

[0021] The rear ladder frame 2 is equipped with a set of casters 1;

[0022] A support assembly is provided between the rear ladder 2 and the upper ladder 6. The upper ladder 6 is formed by welding rectangular tubes on both sides and a middle step 9 to approach the surface of the aircraft and enter the cockpit.

[0023] A fine-tuning component for adjusting the tilt angle of the upper ladder 6 is provided between the rear ladder 2 and the front ladder 15.

[0024] This working ladder effectively solves the problem of non-interoperability of existing main combat aircraft cockpit working ladders. Each component is assembled and welded from aluminum profiles, resulting in low processing costs. The overall structure is simple, lightweight, and can be quickly folded, making it highly operable. By coarse adjustment of the support points and fine adjustment of the adjusting screw 5, the top step 9 is ensured to be close to the edge of the cockpit, meeting the needs of air and ground crew personnel of different aircraft models to enter the cockpit and achieving universal support across multiple aircraft types.

[0025] A support rod 3 is provided between the rear ladder frame 2 and the front ladder frame 15 to achieve connection. The support rod 3 is an aluminum tube. The rear ladder frame 2 is formed by welding rectangular tubes and square tubes and is used for rear support.

[0026] The support rod 3 is connected to the rear ladder frame 2 and the front ladder frame 15 by quick-release pins 17, which facilitates folding.

[0027] The aforementioned moving wheel 1 consists of two directional wheels and is used for short-distance movement of the working ladder.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the support assembly includes lugs 4 on both the rear ladder frame 2 and the upper ladder frame 6, adjusting screws 5 on the two sets of lugs 4, several sets of clamps 7 and footboards 9 on the upper ladder frame 6, and handrails 8 between the two sets of clamps 7. The adjusting screws 5 consist of screws at both ends and a screw sleeve in the middle, connected by positive and negative threads, and the extension and retraction length of the screws can be adjusted by the positive and negative threads.

[0029] The handrail 8 is formed by bending aluminum tubes and is fixedly connected to the upper ladder frame 6 by clamps 7.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the fine-tuning component includes hinge point 10 on the upper ladder frame 6 and the front ladder frame 15, hinge point 11 between the rear ladder frame 2 and the front ladder frame 15, support point 12, support point 13, and support point 14 on the rear ladder frame 2. After connecting to the lug 4 via the adjusting screw 5, it is connected to the rear ladder frame 2 to form a stable support.

[0031] The bottom end of the front ladder frame 15 is provided with a spiral support foot 18, which is mainly composed of a screw and a support foot.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, in practical applications, the front ladder frame 15 is provided with several sets of equally spaced steps 16. The front ladder frame 15 is formed by welding rectangular tubes to the steps 16 for front support and for people to climb.

[0033] Operating instructions:

[0034] 1. Deploy the universal cabin work ladder to Figure 1 After the working state is shown, lift the front ladder frame 15 to tilt the working ladder backward until the moving wheel 1 touches the bottom, and the general-purpose cabin working ladder can be moved a short distance.

[0035] 2. After moving the work ladder to the designated working position, adjust the spiral support feet 18 to ensure the general-purpose work ladder is stably supported;

[0036] 3. Adjust the tilt angle of the upper ladder frame 6 by adjusting the connection between the lug 4 and the three support points on the top of the rear ladder frame 2: support point 12, support point 23, and support point 34. This indirectly adjusts the ground clearance of the top step 9 of the upper ladder frame 6 to meet the needs of different aircraft cabin heights. After the upper ladder frame 6 is connected to one of the three support points on the top of the rear ladder frame 2 via the lug 4, the tilt angle of the upper ladder frame 6 is finely adjusted by adjusting the length of the fine-tuning screw 5 to ensure that the height of the top step 9 of the upper ladder frame 6 is appropriate with the edge of the cabin. Finally, the universal cabin working ladder can be brought close to the edge of the cabin for climbing and operation.

[0037] 4. After the general-purpose cabin work ladder is used, remove the bolts on one section of the adjusting screw 5 to fold the upper ladder frame 6 clockwise to the side of the front ladder frame 15, thus completing the folding of the upper ladder frame 6; the handrail 8 can be removed by opening the clamp 7; by removing the quick-release pin 17 on one section of the support rod 3, the rear ladder frame 2 and the front ladder frame 15 can be brought together to complete the folding of the entire work ladder; the folded state is as follows. Figure 2 As shown.

[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
