Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a scaffold, specifically, to a folding scaffold structure. Background Technology
[0002] Scaffolding is a working platform erected to ensure the smooth progress of various construction processes. There are many types of scaffolding, and different types are used in different working environments. Existing scaffolding typically consists of multiple support poles and footboards. Currently, there are two types: indoor and outdoor. When using scaffolding for interior decoration, such as applying putty to the roof or installing a suspended ceiling, workers need to spend a considerable amount of time assembling the scaffolding. Furthermore, when decorating different areas within the interior, it is inconvenient for workers to move the assembled scaffolding, thus affecting the use of the scaffolding and the interior decoration process. To extend the renovation period, existing folding scaffolding typically involves folding the support frame. During use, the folded support frame is unfolded, and support plates are placed on it. However, the support frame mostly supports the support plates near the ends. Since the area near the middle of the support plate is far from the support point, the support frame provides insufficient support to the middle area. When workers stand in the middle of the support plate, the plate is easily deformed by the pressure from the workers. Over time, this affects the use of the support plates and the scaffolding. Therefore, we propose a folding scaffolding structure. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a folding scaffold structure to solve the problem mentioned in the background art of insufficient support force and easy deformation of the support plate at the position far from the support point.
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a folding scaffolding structure, including a mounting plate with two hinged rotating plates at both ends. A support mechanism is provided on the outer side of each rotating plate. When the rotating plates are unfolded, the upper sides of the mounting plate and the two rotating plates are on the same plane. The support mechanism supports the end of the rotating plate away from the mounting plate. A reinforcing mechanism is provided between the two support mechanisms. When the two support mechanisms move away from the mounting plate and unfold, they unfold the two reinforcing mechanisms, which support the mounting plate and restrict the position of the support mechanisms. When the scaffolding needs to be used, workers rotate the rotating plates to make them coplanar with the mounting plate. Then, workers pull the two support mechanisms away from the mounting plate, unfolding the two reinforcing mechanisms. Through the two support mechanisms and the two reinforcing mechanisms, the mounting plate and the rotating plates are supported at multiple points, reducing the probability of deformation of the mounting plate and rotating plates during scaffolding use.
[0005] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the mounting plates are provided with connecting grooves on both sides of their opposite sidewalls near the four corners, and the rotating plates are provided with two sliding grooves on their opposite sidewalls. When the upper side of the rotating plate and the mounting plate are on the same plane, the sliding grooves are connected to the connecting grooves.
[0006] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the support mechanism includes two support rods located on both sides of the rotating plate. A support slider is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod near the rotating plate, and the support slider moves along the axial direction of the slide groove.
[0007] As a further improvement to this technical solution, two intersecting connecting rods are provided between the two support rods. The two connecting rods connect the two support rods together to prevent the positions of the two support rods from shifting and to improve the stability of the support mechanism during use.
[0008] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the reinforcement mechanism includes fixed rods fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate near both sides. A limiting groove is opened on the side of the two fixed rods that are far away from each other. A limiting block is slidably connected inside the limiting groove. A connecting frame is fixed to one side of the limiting block through the limiting groove. Two reinforcing rods are hinged inside the connecting frame. The end of the reinforcing rod away from the connecting frame is hinged to the side of the support rod near the bottom.
[0009] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a limiting rod is fixedly connected inside the limiting groove, and the limiting block is slidably connected to the limiting rod. The limiting block moves along the axial direction of the limiting rod. A limiting bolt is threadedly connected to one side of the fixed rod near the bottom. One end of the limiting bolt passes through the side wall of the fixed rod and extends to the space between the limiting block and the inner wall of the limiting groove. The operator uses a wrench to tighten the bolt, so that the bolt contacts the limiting block, fixing the limiting block inside the limiting groove and preventing the limiting block from sliding inside the limiting groove.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0011] 1. This folding scaffolding structure rotates two rotating plates around the hinge point, so that the upper sides of the two rotating plates and the mounting plate are on the same plane. Then, the workers pull the support mechanism to move along the rotating plates, so that the support mechanism supports the end of the rotating plate away from the mounting plate. During the movement of the support mechanism, the reinforcement mechanism unfolds and supports the mounting plate, thereby completing the unfolding of the scaffolding. By providing multi-point support for the mounting plate and rotating plates, the support force of the support mechanism and reinforcement mechanism on the mounting plate and rotating plates is improved, reducing the probability of deformation of the mounting plate and rotating plates during the use of the scaffolding.

[0022] 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 protection scope of the present utility model. Example
[0023] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6As shown, the purpose of this embodiment is to provide a folding scaffold structure, including a mounting plate 1. Two rotating plates 11 are hinged to both ends of the mounting plate 1. A support mechanism 2 is provided on the outer side of the rotating plates 11. A baffle is fixedly connected to the upper side of the mounting plate 1. When the rotating plates 11 are unfolded, the rotating plates 11 abut against the baffle. Under the restriction of the baffle, the rotating plates 11 stop rotating. At this time, the upper sides of the mounting plate 1 and the two rotating plates 11 are on the same plane. The support mechanism 2 supports the end of the rotating plate 11 away from the mounting plate 1. A reinforcing mechanism 3 is provided between the two support mechanisms 2. When the two support mechanisms 2 move in the direction away from the mounting plate 1... When unfolded, the two moving support mechanisms 2 unfold the two reinforcing mechanisms 3. The unfolded reinforcing mechanisms 3 support the mounting plate 1 and restrict the position of the support mechanisms 2. Under the restriction of the reinforcing mechanisms 3, the two support mechanisms 2 are prevented from moving towards the mounting plate 1, thereby improving the support effect of the support mechanisms 2 on the rotating plate 11. By providing multi-point support for the mounting plate 1 and the rotating plate 11 through the two support mechanisms 2 and the two reinforcing mechanisms 3, the support effect of the support mechanisms 2 and the reinforcing mechanisms 3 on the mounting plate 1 and the rotating plate 11 is improved, and the probability of the mounting plate 1 and the rotating plate 11 bending during the use of the scaffold is reduced.
[0024] refer to Figure 1 - Figure 6 On both sides of the mounting plate 1, near the four corners, there are connecting grooves 13. One end of the connecting groove 13 passes through the side wall of the mounting plate 1. On the opposite side walls of the rotating plate 11, there are two sliding grooves 12. The end of the sliding groove 12 near the mounting plate 1 passes through the side wall of the rotating plate 11. Figure 2 As shown, the slide groove 12 and the connecting groove 13 are both opened on both sides of the hinge end of the mounting plate 1 and the rotating plate 11. When the upper side of the rotating plate 11 and the mounting plate 1 are on the same plane, the slide groove 12 and the connecting groove 13 are connected. The slide groove 12 and the connecting groove 13 have the same cross-sectional shape, which makes it easy for the support mechanism 2 to move along the slide groove 12 and the connecting groove 13.
[0025] The support mechanism 2 includes two support rods 21 located on both sides of the rotating plate 11. A slide groove 12 is formed on the side of the rotating plate 11 near the support rods 21. A support slider 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod 21 near the rotating plate 11. The support slider 22 moves along the axis of the slide groove 12, and is simultaneously restricted by the slide groove 12 and the connecting groove 13, preventing the support slider 22 from disengaging from the slide groove 12 and the connecting groove 13. The support slider 22 can only slide within the slide groove 12 and the connecting groove 13, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the support slider 22 and the slide groove 12. The support rods 21 are connected to the rotating plate 11 by the support slider 22. Initially, two intersecting connecting rods 23 are provided between the two support rods 21. The two connecting rods 23 are fixed together by screws. At this time, the included angle between the two connecting rods 23 will not change. At the same time, the two connecting rods 23 connect the two support rods 21 together, increasing the stability of the support rods 21. Under the constraint of the two connecting rods 23, the two support rods 21 are prevented from moving away from the rotating plate 11. In addition, combined with the connection of the support slider 22 and the slide groove 12, the stability of the two support rods 21 during the movement is improved, so that the support rods 21 and the support slider 22 support the rotating plate 11, thereby improving the stability of the support mechanism 2 in use.
[0026] When a support rod 21 of the scaffold is damaged, the workers use tools to remove the connecting rod 23 between the two support rods 21. Then, the workers pull the support rod 21 to remove the support slider 22 from the inside of the slide groove 12, so that the workers can replace the damaged support rod 21 and prevent the damaged support rod 21 from affecting the safety of the workers when using the scaffold.
[0027] After the rotating plate 11 is unfolded, the workers pull the support rod 21 to move it away from the mounting plate 1. The moving support rod 21 drives the support slider 22 to move along the axis of the connecting groove 13 and the slide groove 12, so that the support slider 22 moves to the end of the slide groove 12 away from the mounting plate 1. The support rod 21 and the support slider 22 support the end of the rotating plate 11 away from the mounting plate 1, so that the rotating plate 11 remains stable during use, thereby improving the safety of workers when using scaffolding.
[0028] refer to Figure 1 - Figure 6The reinforcement mechanism 3 includes fixed rods 31 fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 1 near both sides. The two fixed rods 31 have a limiting groove on the side away from each other. A limiting block 32 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove. A connecting frame 33 is fixed to one side of the limiting block 32 through the limiting groove. Two reinforcing rods 34 are hinged inside the connecting frame 33. The end of the reinforcing rod 34 away from the connecting frame 33 is hinged to the side of the support rod 21 near the bottom. Cross reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected between the two fixed rods 31. The two fixed rods 31 are fixed by the reinforcing ribs to prevent the fixed rods 31 from tilting during use and becoming unusable.
[0029] The limiting groove has a fixed limiting rod inside, and a limiting block 32 is slidably connected to the limiting rod. The limiting block 32 moves along the axis of the limiting rod, and the limiting rod restricts the limiting block 32 inside the limiting groove, preventing it from falling out and causing the fixing rod 31 to separate from the connecting frame 33, which would affect the use of the reinforcement mechanism 3. A limiting bolt is threadedly connected to one side of the fixing rod 31 near the bottom. One end of the limiting bolt passes through the side wall of the fixing rod 31 and extends to the space between the limiting block 32 and the inner wall of the limiting groove. When the limiting block 32 moves to the bottom of the limiting groove, the operator can tighten the bolt with a wrench. One end of the bolt contacts the limiting block 32, fixing the limiting block 32 inside the limiting groove. This prevents the limiting block 32 from sliding inside the limiting groove and affecting the use of the reinforcement mechanism 3. At the same time, the support rod 21 is connected to the connecting frame 33 by the reinforcing rod 34. After the bolt fixes the limiting block 32 inside the limiting groove, the positions of the limiting block 32, the connecting frame 33, and the reinforcing rod 34 remain unchanged. Under the constraint of the limiting block 32, the connecting frame 33, and the reinforcing rod 34, the support rod 21 remains stable, preventing the support rod 21 from moving towards the mounting plate 1 during the use of the scaffold, and improving the support effect of the support rod 21 on the rotating plate 11.
[0030] When using this device:
[0031] When the scaffolding is in a folded state, the support slider 22 is located inside the connecting groove 13, the support rod 21 is located below the mounting plate 1, and the limiting block 32 is located inside the limiting groove near the top, so that the support rod 21 retracts the reinforcement mechanism 3. At the same time, the rotating plate 11 rotates to a state perpendicular to the mounting plate 1.
[0032] When scaffolding is needed, the workers move the folded scaffolding to the designated location. Then, the workers rotate the rotating plate 11 so that it is on the same plane as the mounting plate 1. The mounting plate 1 and the rotating plate 11 are unfolded so that the workers can stand on the mounting plate 1 and the rotating plate 11 to work. At the same time, the workers pull the support rod 21 to move it so that it drives the support slider 22 to move away from the mounting plate 1. The support rod 21 and the support slider 22 support the end of the rotating plate 11 away from the mounting plate 1.
[0033] During the movement of the support rod 21, the moving support rod 21 drives one end of the reinforcing rod 34 to move. At this time, the other end of the reinforcing rod 34 drives the connecting frame 33 and the limiting block 32 to move downward along the axis of the limiting rod. When the support rod 21 stops moving, the limiting block 32 is located at the bottom of the limiting groove. The operator uses a wrench to tighten the bolt and move it towards the limiting block 32, so that the bolt fixes the limiting block 32 inside the limiting groove, and the mounting plate 1 is supported by the reinforcing mechanism 3.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
