[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a multi-stage folding ladder device suitable for semi-trailers is disclosed. The multi-stage folding ladder 2 specifically consists of two stages, including a ladder 1 201 connected to the semi-trailer 1, a ladder 202 hinged to the end of the ladder 1 201, and a tilting drive device 1 connected to the ladder 1 201. The tilting drive device 1 includes a hydraulic cylinder 203 mounted on the semi-trailer 1, the base of the hydraulic cylinder 203 hinged to the semi-trailer 1, and the hydraulic cylinder 203 connected to the ladder 1 201 via a tilting seat 204. The tilting seat 204 includes a hinge seat 218 connected to the hydraulic cylinder 203, a hinge seat 219 connected to the semi-trailer 1, and a hinge seat 220 connected to the ladder 1 201. Thus, the hydraulic cylinder 203 can drive the tilting seat 204 to tilt, thereby causing the ladder 1 201 to tilt.
[0023] A self-locking structure is also installed between the ladder 201 and the flip base 204. The self-locking structure includes a hinged seat 221 fixed on the flip base 204. The hinged seat 221 is hinged to a telescopic arm 205. A swing arm 206 is hinged to the ladder 201 and is hinged to the telescopic arm 205. The swing arm 206 is hinged to the ladder 201. Under normal conditions, the telescopic arm 205 pushes the swing arm 206 closer to the ladder 201. Specifically, the telescopic wall includes an outer arm and an inner arm inserted into the outer arm. The outer arm has a groove 216 machined along its length. The arm is equipped with positioning bolts that cooperate with the slide groove 216. After the telescopic arm 205 is adjusted to the target length, the length of the telescopic arm 205 is fixed by the clamping cooperation between the positioning bolts and the slide groove 216. When the ladder 201 is retracted, the telescopic arm 205 swings to the end close to the ladder 201 and is in a retracted state. Then the length of the telescopic arm 205 is fixed by the positioning bolts. Under the action of the telescopic arm 205 and the swing arm 206, the ladder 201 cannot rotate around the hinge seat 220, and thus forms a fixed connection with the flip seat 204, forming a self-locking mechanism.
[0024] The swing arm 206 is connected to the support leg 217. When the ladder 201 is open, the telescopic arm 205 is in an extended state and its length is fixed by the positioning bolt. The swing arm 206 swings downward and the support leg 217 is installed at the end of the swing arm 206, thus supporting the ground and forming support for the ladder 201.
[0025] Ladder 202 is also connected to a suspension tightening device, which includes a connecting plate 207 fixed to ladder 202. The connecting plate 207 extends away from the length direction of ladder 202, and its end is located outside ladder 1 201. A cable 209 is connected between the connecting plate 207 and the semi-trailer 1. The cable 209 is a round link chain, which is strong and easy to connect. The cable 209 is connected to a tightening structure, which includes a first pull rod 211 and a second pull rod 212 connected to the cable 209. The cable 209 between the first pull rod 211 and the second pull rod 212 forms a control section 215. The system is equipped with a spacing adjustment structure. Specifically, both pull rod 1 211 and pull rod 212 are threaded rods with different thread directions. The spacing adjustment structure includes a bidirectional threaded sleeve 213 fitted between pull rod 1 211 and pull rod 212. The bidirectional threaded sleeve 213 is connected to an operating handle 214. When pull rod 1 211 and pull rod 212 are driven closer by the operating handle 214, the cable 209 is tightened. Near the middle position of ladder 202, there is also a hanging lug 208. After the cable 209 passes around the hanging lug 208, it is connected to the semi-trailer 1, thereby pressing the middle position of ladder 202 towards ladder 1 201.
[0026] The multi-stage folding ladder device for semi-trailer 1 provided in this embodiment has three states.
[0027] In state 1, unloaded state, the hydraulic cylinder 203 drives the ladder 201 to fit against the semi-trailer frame 1 through the tilting seat 204, thereby reducing the height and improving safety performance.
[0028] State 2, transportation state: the hydraulic cylinder 203 drives the ladder 201 to be vertical through the tilting seat 204, thereby avoiding the loading space of the semi-trailer 1. In this state, the suspension tightening device presses the ladder 201 and the ladder 202 together to ensure transportation safety. A warning light 210 is also installed on the ladder 201 to improve safety performance.
[0029] State 3, loading and unloading state: Release the suspension tightening device, and the cable 209 leaves the hanging lug 208. The cable 209 is only connected to the connecting plate 207. During the lowering process, the cable 209 pulls the connecting plate 207, thereby causing the second ladder 202 to extend automatically for easy operation. After swinging the telescopic wall, the telescopic arm 205 is extended, causing the swing arm 206 to swing downward to cooperate with the ground, fixing the length of the telescopic arm 205, and then carrying out the loading and unloading operation.
[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
