For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] Reference Figure 1-9 This embodiment provides a folding ladder, including a front ladder frame 1 and a rear ladder frame 2. Two rods of the front ladder frame 1 are hinged to two rods of the rear ladder frame 2. A top step 3 and two sub-steps 5 are respectively arranged from top to bottom along the height direction. The width of the top step 3 is greater than the width of the sub-steps 5. The front ends of the top step 3 and the sub-steps 5 are hinged to the two rods of the front ladder frame 1, respectively. The middle part of the top step 3 and the rear end of the sub-steps 5 are hinged to a side connecting rod 4. The ladder also includes a support rod 6. One end of the support rod 6 is hinged to the middle of the side connecting rod 4, and the other end of the support rod 6 is hinged to the middle of a rod of the rear ladder frame 2. Through the above-described hinged connection method, the folding ladder of this embodiment can achieve rotation at the connection point, thereby realizing folding.
[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 2-5 As shown, taking the top pedal 3 as an example, the top pedal 3 includes three pedal units 32. The top surface of the pedal unit 32 extends downward along the thickness direction at one end in the width direction to form a first connecting part 321, and extends downward along the thickness direction at the other end to form a second connecting part 322. The first connecting part 321 and the second connecting part 322 are perpendicular to the top surface.
[0034] The first connecting portion 321 has two protruding first riveting portions 3211 along its length direction and symmetrically arranged along its thickness direction. The second connecting portion 322 has two concave first riveting portions 3222 along its length direction and symmetrically arranged along its thickness direction. The first riveting portions 3222 and 3222 are one-to-one corresponding. The first riveting portions 3211 and 3222 are press-fitted together, so that the protruding first riveting portions 3211 are pressed into the concave first riveting portions 3222, thereby achieving the connection and fixation of the first connecting portion 321 and the second connecting portion 322. In this embodiment, since the first riveting portions 3211 need to be pressed into the first riveting portions 3222, the panel material of the pedal unit 32 itself can be deformed, for example, using ordinary low carbon steel, aluminum alloy, copper alloy, etc. The first connecting portions 321 and second connecting portions 322 of two adjacent pedal units 32 are press-fitted together to form the top pedal 3.
[0035] When a user steps on the top surface of the pedal unit 32, the pedal unit 32 will be subjected to a large downward force. Therefore, in order to further increase the overall strength of the pedal, in this embodiment, the top of the second connecting part 322 bends towards the first connecting part 321 of the adjacent pedal unit 32, thereby forming a U-shaped hook 3221. The first connecting part 321 extends upward to form a limiting part 3212. When installed, the limiting part 3212 extends into the U-shaped hook 3221 and engages with the U-shaped hook 3221 for limiting. The bottom of the second connecting part 322 bends towards the first connecting part 321 of the adjacent pedal unit 32 to form a U-shaped base support 3223, which limits the bottom of the first connecting part 321.
[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, when pedal unit B 32 is subjected to force, pedal unit B 32 can be hung on the limiting part 3212 of pedal unit A 32 via the U-shaped hook 3221 to achieve leverage. When pedal unit A 32 is subjected to force, the U-shaped base support 3223 can support pedal unit A 32. Sub-pedal 5 is formed by splicing in the same way as described above, and the number of pedal units in sub-pedal 5 is 2 pieces.
[0037] In order to enable the connection between the top pedal 3, the sub-pedal 5, the front ladder frame 1, and the side connecting rod 4, this embodiment also includes a U-shaped encapsulation component 31 for encapsulating the side of the spliced top pedal 3, taking the top pedal 3 as an example. The U-shaped encapsulation component 31 includes an upper side and a lower side that are arranged opposite to each other, and a side encapsulation part that connects the upper side and the lower side.
[0038] Specifically, the upper part has rivet holes at both ends, and the pedal unit 32 corresponding to the rivet holes on the upper part also has rivet holes on its top surface. The rivet holes on the upper part and the rivet holes on the top surface of the pedal unit 32 are riveted together by rivets. The bottom of the second connecting part 322 extends outward to form an extension part 3224. The extension part 3224 has rivet holes at both ends along its length direction, and the lower part has rivet holes that correspond one-to-one with the rivet holes of the extension part 3224. The rivet holes on the lower part and the rivet holes of the extension part 3224 are riveted together by rivets. In this way, the two U-shaped encapsulation parts 31 are respectively installed on the two sides of the pedal.
[0039] The front end of the side encapsulation part is provided with a first hinge member 312, the middle position of the top pedal 3 is provided with a second hinge member, and the rear end of the sub-pedal 5 is provided with a second hinge member 311. The front ends of the top pedal 3 and the sub-pedal 5 are hinged to the rod of the front ladder frame 1 through the first hinge member 312, and the top pedal 3 and the sub-pedal 5 are hinged to the side connecting rod 4 through the second hinge member 311, thereby connecting the top pedal 3 and the sub-pedal 5 to the rod of the front ladder frame 1 and the side connecting rod 4.
[0040] It should be noted that the number of sub-pedal 5, the number of pedal units possessed by the top pedal 3 and sub-pedal 5, the number of first riveting parts 3211 and first riveting parts 3222, and other features involving quantity are not limited to this embodiment.
[0041] Example 2
[0042] like Figure 6-7 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the riveting methods of the first connecting part 321 and the second connecting part 322 are different in this embodiment.
[0043] In this embodiment, the first connecting part 321 is provided with at least two symmetrical riveting holes along the length direction, and the second connecting part 322 is provided with at least two symmetrical riveting holes along the length direction. The riveting holes of the first connecting part 321 and the riveting holes of the second connecting part 322 are riveted together by rivets 7.
[0044] Example 3
[0045] like Figure 8-9 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the connecting part and the second connecting part 322 are connected by a bolt and nut. Specifically, the first connecting part 321 has at least two symmetrical screw holes along its length, and the second connecting part 322 has at least two symmetrical screw holes along its length; the bolt 9 passes through the screw holes of the first connecting part 321 and the screw holes of the second connecting part 322, and then the nut 8 is tightened to achieve the connection.
[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the design concept of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to the present utility model by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present utility model using this concept shall be deemed as an infringement of the protection scope of the present utility model.
