Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stair technology, and in particular to a lightweight stair that is easy to move. Background Technology
[0002] When you need to change a light bulb in a living room chandelier, clean cobwebs from ceiling corners, or wipe high windows, a lightweight step ladder can be easily moved to the desired location. For example, in a home with a high ceiling, it's difficult for someone of average height to reach the chandelier to change a bulb, but this lightweight step ladder can be easily pushed under the chandelier, allowing the user to safely stand on it and complete the task. Because it's easy to move and can be quickly removed after use, it doesn't occupy space for extended periods, and its lightweight material prevents it from scratching the floor when moved around the living room.
[0003] In existing technologies, some staircases utilize specially designed metal connectors, such as angle irons or special connecting plates. These connectors are welded or bolted between the staircase frame and the load-bearing plate, enhancing the overall integrity between the two.
[0004] However, in actual use, if the support plate is unstable, it will sway, tilt, or shift when a user stands on the ladder. For example, when construction workers use the ladder for work at heights, instability of the support plate can cause them to lose their balance and fall, resulting in fractures, sprains, and other injuries. Even in home settings, such as changing a light bulb, users can fall due to the swaying of the support plate, resulting in head injuries, abrasions, and other injuries. Therefore, to address the above-mentioned problems, a lightweight ladder that is easy to move is proposed. Utility Model Content

Stainless steel rotating rollers 19 have excellent corrosion resistance and surface smoothness, and can resist the erosion of moisture, sweat and other substances during long-term use. Moreover, their smooth surface can effectively reduce the coefficient of friction between them and the adjusting belt 17, reduce wear, and extend the service life of the components.
[0035] An extension belt 20 is fixedly connected to the outside of the adjusting belt 17. The extension belt 20 is an extension of the adjusting belt 17 and is made of the same or similar high-strength synthetic fiber material to ensure consistency in performance and strength. A connecting frame 21 is fixedly connected to the front of the outer side of the housing 18. The connecting frame 21 is an intermediate structural component connecting the housing 18 with the support shaft 22 and the rotating plate 23. Its material is generally metal, such as aluminum alloy or stainless steel. The aluminum alloy connecting frame 21 has the advantages of light weight, high strength and good processing performance, which makes it easy to install and fix on the housing 18, and can maintain stable structural performance during long-term use. The support shaft 22 is fixedly connected inside the connecting frame 21. The rotating plate 23 is rotatably connected to the outside of the support shaft 22. The rotating plate 23 is a key transmission component for controlling the engagement and disengagement of the control lever 24 and the extension belt 20. Its material is generally metal sheet or metal rod, which has a certain strength and flexibility. A locking rod 24 is fixedly connected to the outer front side of the rotating plate 23. The locking rod 24 is a component that directly engages with the extension belt 20. Its material is generally metal, such as stainless steel or alloy steel, which has high strength and rigidity and can firmly lock the extension belt 20 to prevent it from moving accidentally after adjustment. The connecting frame 15 is externally fixedly connected to the outer front side of the support frame 10.
[0036] The clamping mechanism includes a fixed frame 2, which serves as the basic structural component supporting and connecting other clamping parts. The fixed frame 2 is typically made of metal, such as aluminum alloy, possessing high strength and rigidity. It can stably support components such as the connecting shaft 3 and the rotating plate 4, and withstand various external forces during the use of the staircase without significant deformation or damage. The connecting shaft 3 is internally fixed to the fixed frame 2, serving as the rotation center shaft of the rotating plate 4. Its material is typically metal, such as stainless steel or alloy steel, possessing high strength and rigidity. It can withstand various forces such as friction, tension, and pressure generated during the rotation of the rotating plate 4, ensuring that the rotating plate 4 can rotate flexibly and smoothly on it. The rotating plate 4 is externally rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 3. The rotating plate 4, as a key transmission component for clamping and releasing the bearing plate 6, is typically made of metal sheet or metal rod, possessing certain strength and flexibility. It can rotate flexibly under the drive of the connecting shaft 3, thereby driving the connecting clamp... Plate 5 enables engagement or disengagement with the support plate 6.

Its material is generally metal, such as aluminum alloy or stainless steel, which has high strength and rigidity. It can firmly hold the support plate 6 and prevent it from rotating or shifting accidentally during the use of the staircase. The external side of the connecting plate 5 engages with the external left and right sides of the support plate 6. The external side of the rotating plate 4 is equipped with a spring-loaded component. The spring-loaded component can automatically reset the rotating plate 4 after the engagement or disengagement operation, providing convenience for the next operation and ensuring the stability and reliability of the engagement mechanism.
[0037] The rebound assembly includes a telescopic rod 7. As a component that provides telescopic function and support, the telescopic rod 7 is generally made of metal, such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy, which has a certain strength and rigidity. It can work stably outside the rotating plate 4 and will not be easily deformed or damaged by environmental factors or external forces. The stainless steel telescopic rod 7 has good corrosion resistance and strength and can be used for a long time in various complex environments to ensure the normal operation of the rebound assembly. A spring 8 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 7. The spring 8 plays a key role in providing elastic force and resetting in the rebound assembly. Spring 8 is made of high-quality spring steel. Its elastic coefficient is precisely calculated and designed based on factors such as the rotation resistance, clamping force requirements, and reset requirements of rotating plate 4 to ensure that it can provide just the right elastic support for rotating plate 4 under various working conditions. The telescopic rod 7 is externally fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the rotating plate 4. Handles 9 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two rotating plates 4. Handles 9 are used to facilitate the operation of rotating plate 4. They are generally made of plastic or rubber-coated metal rods, which have a good grip and anti-slip performance, making it easy for users to apply force to rotate rotating plate 4. The fixing bracket 2 is externally fixedly connected to the front side of frame 1, so that the clamping mechanism can be stably installed on frame 1. During the assembly and use of the ladder, the rotating plate 4 is rotated by operating handle 9, thereby realizing the engagement and disengagement of connecting plate 5 and bearing plate 6. The operation is simple and convenient, and the clamping mechanism has high stability and reliability, which can effectively ensure the safe use of the ladder.
[0038] Reference Figures 3 to 4The support frame 10 has support plates 12 fixedly connected to its upper and lower ends. These support plates 12 are crucial components for enhancing the structural stability and load-bearing capacity of the support frame 10. They are typically made of sturdy metal plates of a certain thickness, such as steel plates. The steel support plates 12 have high strength and rigidity, capable of withstanding significant pressure and tension, effectively preventing deformation or damage to the support frame 10 when bearing the weight of the stairs and the user. Connecting plates 13 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the support plates 12. These connecting plates 13 serve as bridges connecting the support plates 12 and other components of the support frame 10. They are also made of metal, such as aluminum alloy or stainless steel, possessing good weldability and high strength, ensuring a firm and stable connection. Tension straps 14 are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the front side of the support frame 10. These tension straps 14 connect the support frame 10 and the frame 1, and are typically made of high-strength fabric materials, such as nylon webbing or polyester fiber webbing. The nylon tension belt 14 has good strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and can withstand large tensile forces, ensuring that it will not break or be damaged due to accidental pulling during the use of the staircase. The other end of the tension belt 14 is fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the rear side of the frame 1. The extension belt 20 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the rotating roller 19. The rotating roller 19 is a component that guides the movement of the extension belt 20 and reduces its frictional resistance. Its material is generally metal, such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy, with good surface finish and rotation performance. The stainless steel rotating roller 19 has high corrosion resistance and can work stably under various environmental conditions. Its smooth surface can effectively reduce the friction coefficient when the extension belt 20 contacts it, thus reducing wear. The external rotating plate 23 is rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting frame 21. The external of the extension belt 20 contacts the external front side of the adjusting belt 17. The external of the clamping rod 24 engages with the inside of the extension belt 20. One end of the spring 8 is fixedly connected to the external left and right sides of the bearing plate 6, and the other end of the spring 8 is fixedly connected to the external left and right sides of the connecting clamping plate 5. When the connecting clamping plate 5 engages or disengages from the bearing plate 6, the spring 8 will be stretched or compressed accordingly, storing elastic potential energy. The force applied to the connecting clamping plate 5 is automatically adjusted according to the elastic coefficient and the amount of stretching of the spring 8. Working in coordination with the rotating plate 4 and other components, the engaging of the connecting clamping plate 5 with the bearing plate 6 is made tighter or easier to disengage. It can maintain a stable working state during long-term use and will not malfunction or fail due to connection problems of the spring 8, ensuring the reliability and stability of the clamping mechanism.
[0039] Working principle: When fixing the support plate 6, by pulling the handle 9, the handle 9 causes the telescopic rod 7 to stretch through the rotating plate 4, which in turn causes the spring 8 to deform. This allows the rotating plate 4 to drive the connecting plate 5 to disengage from the support plate 6. When the support plate 6 is placed in the appropriate position, by releasing the handle 9, the spring 8 rebounds. The rebound force of the spring 8 causes the rotating plate 4 to engage the connecting plate 5 with the support plate 6, thereby stabilizing the support plate 6.
[0040] When adjusting the distance between frame 1 and support frame 10, rotating plate 23 is rotated. Under the action of rotating plate 23, rotating plate 23 is removed from the inside of extension belt 20 through clamping rod 24. At this time, by pulling extension belt 20, extension belt 20 is pulled out from the outside of rotating roller 19. Rotating roller 19 can prevent extension belt 20 from being worn when pulled out. When adjusted to a suitable position, rotating plate 23 can drive clamping rod 24 to fix extension belt 20, thereby realizing the adjustment of the distance between frame 1 and support frame 10.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
