Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of A-frame ladder technology, specifically to a dual-platform height-adjustable A-frame ladder. Background Technology

[0002] In many fields such as construction, home repair, and decoration, A-frame ladders are widely used as common tools for working at heights. For example, Chinese patent CN223018550U discloses an A-frame ladder to prevent tools from falling, which includes two support legs. A storage box is fixedly connected to the top of each support leg. Limiting mechanisms are provided on the front and rear sides of the storage box, and magnetic balls are installed inside the storage box. The limiting mechanism includes four limiting posts, a limiting block, and a limiting box. The side of the limiting post closest to the limiting block is fixedly connected to the limiting block, and the surface of the limiting block is in movable contact with the inner wall of the limiting box. This solves the problem in existing technologies where the tops of the left and right support legs lack a structure for storing and limiting tools.

[0003] However, the steps of traditional A-frame ladders are usually fixed in position. When users face tasks at different heights, they cannot flexibly adjust the steps according to the actual working height, making it difficult for them to find the most suitable standing position. This situation can easily cause an imbalance in the body's center of gravity, creating significant safety hazards for users working at heights and increasing the risk of accidents such as falls from heights.

[0004] Furthermore, in real-world work scenarios, many tasks require two people to work together. However, traditional A-frame ladders have platforms of equal height on both sides, which cannot meet the needs of operators at different heights in tasks requiring coordination, such as electrical wiring and pipe installation. This results in low work efficiency and extreme inconvenience. As modern work scenarios increasingly demand flexibility, safety, and practicality from climbing tools, the aforementioned shortcomings of traditional A-frame ladders are becoming increasingly apparent, necessitating structural improvements and innovations. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a dual-platform height-adjustable A-frame ladder, aiming to solve the problem that traditional A-frame ladders cannot adequately meet the height requirements of diverse operations. To achieve the above objective, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A double-platform height-adjustable A-frame ladder includes a first ladder frame and a second ladder frame, with the upper ends of the first and second ladder frames connected together. Each of the first and second ladder frames includes two parallel ladder posts and several steps. The steps are movably connected between the two ladder posts and can slide up and down relative to the steps. Positioning components are fitted at both ends of each step for connecting and fixing the ladder posts and the steps.

[0007] Furthermore, the ladder column is provided with a plurality of equally spaced positioning holes; both ends of the ladder step are provided with through slots for the ladder column to move; both ends of the ladder step pass through the ladder column and cooperate with the positioning component; the positioning component includes a positioning shell sleeved on the end of the ladder step, and the positioning shell is provided with a fixing component for cooperating with the positioning hole.

[0008] Furthermore, the fixing component includes a locking plate, one end of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning shell, and the other end is connected to a locking member, which is used to fix the locking plate in place.

[0009] Furthermore, the locking member includes a threaded rod with one end fixedly connected to the clamping plate; a rotating plate and a nut that cooperate with the threaded rod are movably sleeved on the surface of the threaded rod, and the rotating plate is located between the nut and the clamping plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the positioning shell has a through hole for the ladder column to move.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper ends of the first and second ladders are hinged.

In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] See attached Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides a dual-platform height-adjustable A-frame ladder, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a first ladder frame and a second ladder frame, with their upper ends connected. Preferably, the upper ends of the first and second ladder frames are hinged. Each of the first and second ladder frames includes two parallel ladder posts 1, with a plurality of step stools 2 movably connected between the two ladder posts 1. The step stools 2 are movably connected between the two ladder posts 1 and can slide up and down relative to the step stools 2. Positioning components 3 are fitted at both ends of each step stool 2, serving to connect and fix the ladder posts 1 and the step stools 2. When the height of the step stool 2 needs to be adjusted, the fixing between the ladder posts 1 and the step stool 2 is released through the positioning components 3, and then the height of the step stool 2 is adjusted to a suitable position according to the specific situation. Finally, the adjusted step stool 2 is connected and fixed to the ladder posts 1 through the positioning components 3.

[0034] The specific structure of positioning component 3 is as follows:

[0035] The ladder post 1 has several equally spaced positioning holes 11, the spacing of which can be set according to specific circumstances. Both ends of the ladder step 2 have through slots 21, allowing the ladder post 1 to move. The design of the through slots 21 enables the ladder step 2 to move up and down along the ladder post 1, thereby adjusting its height. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, positioning components 3 are movably fitted at both ends of the stair step 2. The positioning components 3 are fitted onto the positioning shells 31 at the ends of the stair step 2. The surface of the positioning shells 31 has through holes 311 for the movement of the stair column 1. A retaining plate 32 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning shells 31. A threaded rod 33 is fixedly connected to one side of the retaining plate 32. A rotating plate 34 is movably fitted onto the surface of the threaded rod 33, and a nut 35 is threaded onto the surface of the rod. The rotating plate 34 is located between the nut 35 and the retaining plate 32. The retaining plate 32 can movably penetrate into the inner cavity of the corresponding positioning hole 11. The rotating plate 34 has the same dimensions as the retaining plate 32 and abuts against the side wall of the stair column 1. The nut 35 is located outside the rotating plate 34. By rotating the nut 35, the rotating plate 34 can be pushed against the side wall of the stair column 1, thereby locking the position of the stair column 1. This design ensures the stability of the stair step 2 and facilitates adjustment of the height of the stair step 2.

[0036] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the inner wall of the positioning shell 31 is further provided with a support member 4. The support member 4 includes a support plate 41 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning shell 31, and the surface of the support plate 41 has a through hole 42 for the ladder column 1 to move. The provision of the support member 4 enhances the connection stability between the positioning shell 31 and the ladder column 1, reduces the swaying of the ladder column 1 during movement, and also provides additional support for the ladder step 2.

[0037] In use, unscrew nut 35, rotate plate 34 to a horizontal position, remove positioning shell 31 from the surface of ladder step 2 to unlock ladder step 2, slide ladder step 2 up and down between two ladder posts 1 to adjust the height of ladder step 2. This design improves the flexibility of ladder height adjustment, and the position of ladder step 2 can be quickly adjusted according to actual needs. It can adapt to different work scenarios with different height requirements, and improve the versatility and adaptability of ladder.

[0038] It should be noted that the upper ends of the first and second ladders are hinged. Since hinged connections are existing technology, they will not be described in detail here.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] See attached Figures 1-5 Based on Embodiment 2, this embodiment further provides a double-platform height-adjustable A-frame ladder. The difference between this A-frame ladder and the one provided in Embodiment 1 is that the top of the rungs 2 is also equipped with a footplate 5. For example... Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the footplate component 5 includes a footplate platform 51 fixedly connected to the top surface of the step 2. A diagonal brace 52 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the footplate platform 51, and one side of the diagonal brace 52 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the step 2. The footplate platform 51 increases the stepping area of ​​the step 2, improving safety and comfort. The diagonal brace 52 enhances the connection stability between the footplate platform 51 and the step 2, reducing shaking and deformation during stepping.

[0041] The usage process of the double-platform A-frame ladder provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0042] When the height of step 2 needs to be adjusted, first unscrew nut 35 to remove the opposing force on the surface of rotating plate 34, then rotate rotating plate 34 to a horizontal position. Positioning shell 31 is removed from the surface of step 2, causing locking plate 32 to disengage from the inner cavity of positioning hole 11, thereby unlocking step 2. Step 2 is then slid up and down between the two ladder posts 1 to adjust its height. After moving to the appropriate height, positioning shell 31 is placed on one end of step 2. At this time, locking plate 32 is inserted into the inner cavity of the corresponding positioning hole 11, and rotating plate 34 passes through positioning hole 11 into the inner side of ladder post 1. Positioning hole 11 is rotated to the surface of screw to hold rotating plate 34 in place, thus completing the locking.
