[0022] Example:
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a boarding ladder for a transport ship, including a ladder assembly 1, which includes a frame 11 and a conveyor belt 12. The conveyor belt 12 is rotatably connected between the inner surfaces of the frame 11. A drive motor 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the frame 11, and an anti-slip coating 14 is provided on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 12. A connecting hole 111 is provided in the middle of the outer surface of the frame 11, and a guardrail assembly 3 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the ladder assembly 1. The guardrail assembly 3 includes a support column 31 and a U-shaped railing 33, and the U-shaped railing 33 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support column 31. A connecting rod 34 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner surface of the U-shaped railing 33, and a hand grip sleeve 35 is slidably connected to the circumferential surface of the connecting rod 34. Connecting plates 32 are fixedly connected at equal intervals between the inner surfaces of the support column 31, and the total number of connecting plates 32 is six.
[0024] Working principle: When the boarding ladder of the transport ship is in use, the bottom of the boarding ladder rests against the shore. The boarders first walk onto the auxiliary plate 21 on the auxiliary component 2. The anti-slip strip 22 can effectively prevent slipping on the auxiliary plate 21, thus preventing the boarders from slipping. When the boarders stand on the conveyor belt 12 and hold the hand grip sleeve 35, the anti-slip coating 14 can also effectively prevent the boarders standing on the conveyor belt 12 from slipping. At this time, the drive motor 13 starts, thereby driving the conveyor belt 12 to rotate, and then transporting the boarders to the transport ship. At the same time, the hand grip sleeve 35 will slide diagonally upward along the connecting rod 34 with the boarders. When the boarders stand on the flat fixed plate 41, they can smoothly enter the transport ship. When the boarders release their hands, the hand grip sleeve 35 will slide down along the connecting rod 34, making it easy for the next boarder to grab. It is convenient and practical and deserves to be widely promoted.
[0025] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, a connecting component 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the ladder assembly 1, and the connecting component 4 includes a fixing plate 41 and a U-shaped notch 411. The U-shaped notch 411 is provided on one end surface of the fixing plate 41, and a fixing shaft 42 is fixedly connected to the middle of both sides of the other end surface of the fixing plate 41. Specifically, after boarding is completed, the angle of the entire boarding ladder can be adjusted by the action of the fixing shaft 42 so that the boarding ladder is attached to the hull.
[0026] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the ladder assembly 1 is fastened to an auxiliary assembly 2, which includes an auxiliary plate 21 and anti-slip strips 22. The anti-slip strips 22 are fixedly connected to the upper part of the auxiliary plate 21 at equal intervals. The auxiliary plate 21 has screw holes 211 at the middle of one end of each side surface, and a connector 23 is fastened to one end of each side surface. A through hole 231 is provided through the middle of both ends of one side surface of the connector 23. Specifically, an external bolt is inserted into the through hole 231, and then the external bolt is rotated clockwise to tighten it into the connecting hole 111 and the screw hole 211 respectively, so that the auxiliary assembly 2 and the ladder assembly 1 can be structurally connected.
