[0028] This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Combination Figures 1 to 5 A telescopic passenger boarding ladder includes a head unit 3, a frame 31 fixedly connected to the right side of the head unit 3, a boarding ladder body 4 fixedly connected to the right side of the frame 31, a positioning structure 1 on the top of the frame 31, and disassembly and assembly mechanisms 2 on the front and rear sides of the positioning structure 1.

[0031] The positioning structure 1 includes a lifting assembly 11, a driving assembly 12, a positioning assembly 13, and a guide assembly 14. The lifting assembly 11 is located on the top of the frame 31, the driving assembly 12 is located on the top of the lifting assembly 11, the positioning assembly 13 is located inside the bottom of the lifting assembly 11, and the guide assembly 14 is located on the top of the positioning assembly 13.

[0032] The lifting assembly 11 includes a bracket 1101, which is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 31. A turntable 1102 is rotatably connected to the top of the bracket 1101. A threaded shaft 1103 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the turntable 1102. A limit piece 1104 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the threaded shaft 1103. The drive assembly 12 includes a drive motor 1201, which is positioned above the threaded shaft 1103. A drive shaft 1202 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive motor 1201. A transmission clip 1203 is engaged inside the bottom of the drive shaft 1202. The transmission clip 1203 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded shaft 1103. The positioning assembly 13 includes a fixing screw 1301, which is threadedly connected to the outer ring of the threaded shaft 1103. 01. A fixed fin 1302 is fixedly connected to the outer ring. A lifting frame 1303 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixed fin 1302. The lifting frame 1303 is snapped into the top of the frame 31. A locking pin 1304 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting frame 1303. The guide assembly 14 includes a fixed plate 1401. The fixed plate 1401 is fixedly connected to the four corners of the top of the lifting frame 1303. A slide cylinder 1402 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate 1401. A reinforcing fin 1403 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer ring of the slide cylinder 1402. The reinforcing fin 1403 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixed plate 1401. A guide rod 1404 is slidably connected to the inner ring of the slide cylinder 1402. The guide rod 1404 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 31. The guide rod 1404 is fixedly connected to the top of the bracket 1101.

[0033] Furthermore, when using this device, the operator only needs to start the drive motor 1201 to control the rotation of the threaded shaft 1103, thereby completing the lifting control of the lifting frame 1303. This allows the locking pin 1304 to engage with the top of the ground, completing the overall positioning of the vehicle head 3, the frame 31, and the boarding ladder body 4. This ensures that after the vehicle head 3 and the frame 31 are driven to the predetermined position and stop, the frame 31 will not be misaligned due to human error, such as forgetting to engage the handbrake. This increases the overall stability of the boarding ladder body 4 during use and improves its safety.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the disassembly and assembly mechanism 2 includes a support component 21, an adjustment component 22, and a locking component 23. The support component 21 is disposed on the outside of the drive component 12, the adjustment component 22 is disposed on the front and rear sides of the support component 21, and the locking component 23 is disposed on the inside of the outside of the adjustment component 22.

[0036] Support component 21 includes a mounting base 2101, which is snapped onto the bottom of drive motor 1201. Fixing fins 2102 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the mounting base 2101, and the fixing fins 2102 are fixedly connected to the top of bracket 1101. Pads 2103 are provided on the front and rear sides inside the mounting base 2101, and the pads 2103 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of drive motor 1201. Adjustment component 22 includes a fixing box 2201, which is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of mounting base 2101. A threaded connection is rotatably provided on the outer side of the fixing box 2201. The rotating drum 2202 has a torsion ring 2203 fixedly connected to its outer ring. The locking assembly 23 includes a threaded rod 2301, which is threadedly connected to the inner ring of the rotating drum 2202. A limit plate 2302 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod 2301. A movable plate 2303 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the threaded rod 2301. The movable plate 2303 is slidably connected to the fixed box 2201. A special-shaped locking rod 2304 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the movable plate 2303. The special-shaped locking rod 2304 passes inward through the mounting base 2101 and engages with the pad 2103.

[0037] Furthermore: The drive motor 1201 is snapped into the mounting base 2101, and the irregularly shaped locking rod 2304 is snapped into the pad 2103 to complete the positioning of the drive motor 1201. This allows the operator to control the irregularly shaped locking rod 2304 on the front and rear sides by simply rotating the torsion ring 2203 on both sides to lock and remove the drive motor 1201. This allows the operator to disassemble and assemble the drive motor 1201 as needed, facilitating subsequent inspection, maintenance, and replacement of the drive motor 1201. The operation is simple and convenient for the operator to use.

[0038] In actual operation, when this device is used, after the front of the vehicle 3 has traveled to the predetermined position, the driver turns off the engine of the front of the vehicle 3 and pulls the handbrake to initially position the frame 31. Then, the drive motor 1201 is started. The start of the drive motor 1201 drives the transmission clamp shaft 1203 to rotate through the drive shaft 1202. The rotation of the transmission clamp shaft 1203 drives the threaded shaft 1103 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded shaft 1103 controls the fixed screw cylinder 1301 to move downward. The downward movement of the fixed screw cylinder 1301 drives the lifting frame 1303 to move downward through the fixed fin 1302. The downward movement of the lifting frame 1303 drives the locking pin 1304 to move downward. The locking pin 1304 moves downward and engages with the top of the ground, thus supplementing the positioning of the frame 31 and further locking the position of the frame 31. At this time, the locking process of the position of the boarding ladder body 4 is completed.

[0039] When it is necessary to disassemble the drive motor 1201, the operator first rotates the torsion rings 2203 on both the front and rear sides. The rotation of the torsion rings 2203 drives the threaded rod 2301 to move outward through the threaded drum 2202. The outward movement of the threaded rod 2301 drives the irregular clamp 2304 to move outward through the moving plate 2303. The irregular clamp 2304 moves outward and retracts into the fixed box 2201, releasing the connection with the pad 2103. At this time, the positioning of the drive motor 1201 is released. Then, the drive motor 1201 can be moved upward directly to complete the disassembly of the drive motor 1201.

[0040] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
