[0020] 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.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: a precise automatic return ladder handle structure, including a ladder base 3, on which a locking tongue positioning frame 5 is fixedly connected. Both sides of the locking tongue positioning frame 5 have screw holes, and fixing screws 7 are inserted into the screw holes. One end of the fixing screw 7 is fixedly connected to the ladder base 3. This structure ensures the stability of the locking tongue positioning frame 5, thereby ensuring the stability of the locking tongue body 6 inside the locking tongue positioning frame 5. An opening is provided at the top of the locking tongue positioning frame 5, and the locking tongue body 6 and the locking tongue positioning frame 5 form a sliding connection. A protruding structure is provided on the outer wall of the locking tongue body 6, which matches the inner wall structure of the locking tongue positioning frame 5. This structure ensures the stability of the locking tongue. Positioning bracket 5 can limit the movement of the latch body 6, improving its stability and preventing it from detaching from the positioning bracket 5. The latch body 6 is a custom-made product; when the lock is fully open, the locking surface of the latch body 6 is not fully unlocked. It unlocks again when it reaches the guide post 1, achieving secondary unlocking. A mounting base 2 is fixedly connected to the ladder base 3, and a guide post 1 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting base 2. This structure ensures the stability of the guide post 1. The guide post 1 works in conjunction with the latch body 6 to limit its movement, assisting in the secondary locking structure of the latch body 6. A guide post 1 is provided at one end of the latch positioning bracket 5. One side of the guide post 1 has a circular structure. A lock tongue body 6 is inserted inside the lock tongue positioning bracket 5. One end of the lock tongue body 6 is fixedly connected to a lock tongue connector 8. The lock tongue connector 8 has a through hole, and one end of the lock tongue connector 8 is equipped with a first locking stroke component 9. The first locking stroke component 9 has a through hole, and its position corresponds to the through hole of the lock tongue connector 8. A shoulder screw 4 is connected inside the lock tongue connector 8 and the through hole of the first locking stroke component 9. In this structure, during the second unlocking, the lock tongue body 6 continues to move in the unlocking direction.
