[0034] Example 1
[0035] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:
[0036] A folding, flipping, quick-lock climbing ladder includes a fixed ladder 1, a rotating ladder 2, a rotating mechanism 3, and a locking mechanism 4. The rotating ladder 2 is connected to the rotating mechanism 3, and a quick-locking mechanism that cooperates with the fixed ladder 1 is provided on the rotating ladder 2. The locking mechanism 4 is provided on the wall, and when the rotating ladder 2 is rotated to a predetermined position close to the wall, it can be locked by the locking mechanism 4. Telescopic support legs 5 are provided at the bottom of the rotating ladder 2.
[0037] Based on the above structure, in this solution, the fixed ladder 1 is connected and fixed to the external mechanism. When it is necessary to connect the fixed ladder 1 to the rotating ladder 2, the rotating ladder 2 is released from the locking mechanism 4 and rotated to the lower position of the fixed ladder 1. It is then initially locked to the bottom position of the fixed ladder 1 by a quick-locking mechanism, and then the bottom of the rotating ladder 2 is fixed to the ground by the telescopic support legs 5, further increasing the stability of the rotating ladder 2. When the rotating ladder 2 is not in use, it is unlocked from the fixed ladder 1 and rotated to the wall locking mechanism 4 for storage and fixation. This solves the problem of reliable storage of the climbing ladder at the usage site and improves storage efficiency. At the same time, the folding and flipping mechanism solves the problem of quick storage and unfolding of the climbing ladder, ensuring that the maintenance passage at the usage site is not blocked. This solution achieves complete fixation of the climbing ladder through the cooperation of multiple mechanisms, improving the safety and reliability of users climbing to heights.
[0038] As an example, a stop structure 11 can be provided at the connection between the bottom of the fixed ladder 1 and the rotating ladder 2; the stop structure 11 is set with an opening direction according to the rotation direction of the rotating ladder 2 on site, so that the opening direction of the stop structure 11 matches the rotation direction of the rotating ladder 2.
[0039] A first pin hole 12 is provided on the contact part between the stop structure 11 and the rotating ladder 2, and a second pin hole 13 is provided on the rotating ladder 2.
[0040] Based on the above structure, by setting the stop structure 11, the rotating ladder 2 can be guided and limited, so that the rotating ladder 2 can quickly rotate to the predetermined position, reducing the difficulty of subsequent operations. At the same time, when the rotating ladder 2 is in the stop structure 11, the positions of the first pin hole 12 and the second pin hole 13 are aligned, which facilitates the subsequent locking operation.
[0041] As an example, the stop structure 11 is U-shaped, and the first pin hole 12 is respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the stop structure 11, and the first pin hole 12 is provided through the stop structure 11.
[0042] Based on the above structure, by setting the stop structure 11 as a U-shaped structure, the rotating ladder 2 can be rotated into the stop structure 11 more smoothly, and the side wall of the U-shaped structure can fit more closely with the arc-shaped side wall of the rotating ladder 2, making the overall connection more stable.
[0043] As an example, the rotating ladder 2 may include a ladder frame 21, a quick-lock actuator 22, and a quick-lock trigger 23; the quick-lock actuator 22 is located at the top of the ladder frame 21, and the quick-lock trigger 23 is located on the ladder frame 21 near the middle; the quick-lock trigger 23 and the quick-lock actuator 22 are connected as one unit by a connecting rope 6.
[0044] Based on the above structure, the quick-lock trigger 23 is set at the middle position of the ladder frame 21, so that the operator can complete the initial locking operation of the rotating ladder 2 and the fixed ladder 1 at the bottom of the ladder frame 21. That is, the quick-lock trigger 23 drives the quick-lock execution 22 to lock the fixed ladder 1 that is stuck in it; thus reducing the difficulty of later maintenance.
[0045] As an example, the quick-lock actuator 22 may include a quick-lock body 221, a quick-lock tongue 222, and a return spring 223; the end of the quick-lock body 221 is hook-shaped, and a connecting lug for the quick-lock tongue 222 is provided on the quick-lock body 221, and the quick-lock tongue is hinged to the connecting lug; a spring hole 224 is provided on the quick-lock tongue, one end of the return spring 223 is connected to the spring hole 224, and the other end is connected to the end position of the quick-lock body 221, and a control hole 225 is provided on the end of the quick-lock tongue near the connecting lug; the quick-lock actuator 22 is connected to the control hole 225 through a connecting rope 6.
[0046] Based on the above structure, since the quick-lock tongue 222 is hinged to the quick-lock body 221, when it is necessary to lock the fixed ladder 1, the quick-lock trigger part 23 is pulled to make the quick-lock tongue 222 rotate and form a locking cavity for the upper rod of the fixed ladder 1 with the end of the hook-shaped quick-lock body 221; thus, the rotating ladder 2 and the fixed ladder 1 are initially locked. When it is necessary to unlock, the quick-lock trigger part 23 is unlocked, and the return spring 223 drives the quick-lock tongue 222 to return to its original position.
[0047] As an example, the top of the rotating ladder 2 is provided with a mounting plate 24, the quick lock body 221 is connected to the mounting plate 24, a first through hole 25 is provided at the top of the rotating ladder 2, and a second through hole 26 is provided on the rotating ladder 2 near the quick lock trigger part 23. The connecting rope 6 passes through the first through hole 25 and the second through hole 26 and is embedded inside the rotating rod 32.
[0048] Based on the above structure, embedding the connecting rope 6 inside the rotating rod 32 can prevent the connecting rope 6 from interfering with the worker's crawling; at the same time, it can also protect the connecting rope 6 and extend its service life.
[0049] As an example, the quick-lock trigger 23 is a quick clamp; the quick-lock trigger 23 may include a fixed seat 231, a hinge seat 232, a fixed hook 233 and a connecting ring 234; the fixed seat 231 and the fixed hook 233 are both connected to the rotating ladder 2, the hinge seat 232 is hinged to the fixed seat 231, the fixed hook 233 is set at a predetermined distance from the fixed seat 231, the connecting ring 234 is set on the hinge seat 232, and the connecting rope 6 is connected to the connecting ring 234.
[0050] Based on the above structure, the quick clamp in this solution is existing technology. This solution does not improve upon it, but merely uses existing technology in a conventional manner. The position of the connecting ring 234 can be changed through the hinge seat 232. When fixation is required, the connecting ring 234 is inserted into the fixing hook 233 to achieve fixation. When the connecting ring 234 moves, it can drive the connecting rope 6 to move, thereby realizing the release and locking of the quick lock tongue 222.
[0051] As an example, the locking mechanism 4 may include a locking base 41 and a locking hinge ear 42; the locking base 41 is connected to the wall; the locking hinge ear 42 is disposed on the locking base 41, and the locking hinge ear 42 includes a movable end and a fixed end; the movable end is rotatable relative to the fixed end and can be locked by bolts.
[0052] Based on the above structure, the movable ladder that has been rotated to the wall side can be fixed by the locking mechanism 4, without occupying the space of the entire maintenance passage, thus improving the utilization rate of the passage.
[0053] As an example, the rotating mechanism 3 may include a rotating base 31, a rotating rod 32, a rotating support 33, and a connecting rod 34; the rotating support 33 is disposed on the rotating base 31, the rotating rod 32 is provided with rotating bearings at both ends, the rotating rod 32 is movably connected to the rotating support 33 through the rotating bearings, and the connecting rod 34 is connected to the ladder frame 21 and the rotating rod 32 respectively.
[0054] Based on the above structure, the rotating rod 32 can rotate freely on the rotating base 31 through the cooperation of the rotating support 33 and the rotating shaft bearing, and the rotating base 31 provides support for the rotation of the movable ladder.
[0055] As an example, the telescopic outrigger 5 is threadedly engaged with the bottom of the ladder frame 21 to achieve the lifting function. Specifically, the telescopic outrigger 5 may include a threaded rod 51, a support base 52, a first locking nut 53 and a second locking nut 54. The bottom of the ladder frame 21 is provided with a threaded groove that engages with the threaded rod 51. The threaded rod 51 is disposed in the threaded groove, the support base 52 is disposed at the bottom of the threaded rod 51, and the first locking nut 53 and the second locking nut 54 are sleeved on the threaded rod 51.
[0056] Based on the above structure, by setting a threaded base, the contact area between the telescopic outrigger 5 and the ground can be increased, making the support more stable. The threaded rod 51 is raised and lowered by rotation, and locked by the mutual abutment of the first locking nut 53 and the second locking nut 54.
[0057] How to use this solution:
[0058] In use, operate the locking mechanism 4 to quickly release the fixation. Rotate the movable ladder by rotating the base and rotating the rod 32 until it contacts the fixed ladder 1 and reaches the set position. By operating the quick lock trigger 23, control the quick lock actuator 22 to connect the movable ladder to the upper fixed ladder 1. Then, use a wrench to rotate the telescopic support leg 5 so that the telescopic support leg 5 is completely in contact with the ground and the movable ladder is completely fixed. The operator climbs onto the movable ladder and inserts the quick release pin into the pin hole to further move the ladder.
[0059] When storing, first remove the quick release pin, rotate to loosen the telescopic support leg 5, operate the quick lock trigger 23 to open the quick lock actuator 22, disconnect it from the upper fixed ladder 1, rotate the movable ladder until it fits against the locking mechanism 4, and operate the wall locking mechanism 4 to lock the movable ladder.
[0060] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
