Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engineering machinery technology, specifically a ladder for engineering machinery. Background Technology

[0002] Construction machinery is an important part of the equipment manufacturing industry. In general terms, construction machinery refers to the mechanical equipment necessary for comprehensive mechanized construction projects, including earthwork construction, road construction and maintenance, mobile lifting and unloading operations, and various building projects.

[0003] Because construction machinery is generally large, the cab is located at a high position, such as excavators. The foot ladder for climbing construction machinery is an indispensable auxiliary device for construction machinery operators in their daily work. It is mainly used to safely and conveniently enter the cab from the ground. Generally, a few fixed foot ladders are set on one side of the cab to facilitate the operator's entry into the cab. The inventors discovered in practical use that the height of the wheels or tracks of construction machinery is relatively high, which means that the foot ladder cannot be set very low. When drivers use the foot ladder to enter the cab, they usually step on the wheels or slewing platform to climb the foot ladder and then enter the cab. However, due to the complex working conditions of construction machinery, when the construction machinery is on a slope or the foot ladder is on the side of a ditch, the wheels or slewing platform are raised, making it difficult for drivers to easily step on the wheels or slewing platform and making it inconvenient for drivers to enter the cab.

[0025] Example 1: See Figures 1 to 4This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model, including side plates 1 on both sides and a first ladder body 2 disposed between the two side plates 1. The side plates can be directly connected to one side of the cab by welding. The side plates 1 and the first ladder body 2 are connected by a connecting rod 5. The two ends of the connecting rod 5 are respectively connected to the side plates 1 and the first ladder body 2 by pins. The side plates 1 are provided with a first limiting block 6, and the first limiting block 6 is correspondingly arranged with the connecting rod 5. After the first ladder body 2 is retracted, the connecting rod 5 tilts. After the second ladder body 7 is extended, the connecting rod 5 horizontally supports the second ladder body 7 under the limitation of the first limiting block 6. The first ladder body 2 is provided with a plurality of first pedals 3. The bottom of the first ladder body 2 is provided with the second ladder body 7 through a pivot 8. The second ladder body 7 can rotate around the pivot 8. When the second ladder body 7 is retracted, it is parallel to the first ladder body 2. When the second ladder body 7 is opened, it is on the same plane as the first ladder body 2. The second ladder body 7 is provided with several second steps 9, which are corresponding to the first steps 3. When the second ladder body 7 is retracted, the corresponding first steps 3 and second steps 9 form a plane. Locking shafts 11 are provided on both sides of the second ladder body 7. The side plate 1 is provided with locking grooves 12 corresponding to the locking shafts 11. When the second ladder body 7 is retracted, the locking shafts 11 enter the locking grooves 12. In order to facilitate the opening of the second ladder body 7, the locking shafts 11 extend out of the lock body structure for easy gripping by the operator. A locking body mechanism 13 is provided at the locking groove 12. The locking body mechanism 13 is configured to cooperate with the locking shafts 11 to lock the locking shafts 11 and fix the second ladder body 7. The lock body mechanism 13 includes a lever 131. One end of the lever 131 is connected to the side wall via a pin, and the other end of the lever 131 is provided with a stop block 132. The stop block 132 limits and fixes the lock shaft 11. When the inner side of the stop block 132 is provided with an arc-shaped structure that fits into the lock groove 12 of the lock shaft 11, it fixes the lock shaft 11 and prevents the lock shaft 11 from shaking. The stop block 132 and the lock groove 12 are configured to cooperate. A second limiting block 135 is provided below the lever 131. The second limiting block 135 is configured to correspond with the lever 131 and limit the lever 131. When the lock shaft 11 is disengaged from the lock groove 12, the lever 131 remains horizontal and the stop block 132 cooperates with the lock groove 12. A spring seat 133 is provided above the lever 131. A spring 134 is provided between the spring seat 133 and the upper end of the lever 131. The spring force of the spring 134 keeps the lever 131 locked to the lock shaft 11.

[0026] Specifically, the upper side of the first step 3 is provided with a first anti-slip structure 4, which plays an anti-slip role. The upper and lower sides of the second step 9 are provided with second anti-slip structures 10, so that the second ladder body 7 is still provided with second anti-slip structures 10 after it is opened, making it easier for the driver to climb. The first anti-slip structure 4 and the second anti-slip structure 10 are the same.

[0027] Specifically, the lower end wall of the lock groove 12 has an arc-shaped structure to guide the lock shaft 11.

[0028] Specifically, one side of the stop block 132 is provided with a sloping structure. When the locking shaft 11 enters the locking groove 12, the side of the locking shaft 11 pushes the stop block 132 upward, causing the lever 131 to move upward. When the locking shaft 11 is reset, the lever 131 is reset and locked by the elastic force of the spring 134.

[0029] Specifically, the upper end of the lever 131 and the lower end of the spring seat 133 are provided with limit shafts, and the two ends of the spring 134 are fitted onto the limit shafts at the upper and lower ends to limit and fix the spring 134 and prevent the spring 134 from coming out.

[0030] Specifically, a back plate 14 is provided on the rear side of both side plates 1, and a mounting plate 15 is provided on one side of the side plate 1. The mounting plate 15 is provided with several bolt holes 16, which can be installed to the side of the cab by bolts.

[0031] Specifically, the upper part of the side panel 1 is equipped with a handrail structure 17, which makes it easier for the driver to climb.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model: The device is bolted to one side of the cab. In complex working conditions, the slewing platform is raised, making it inconvenient for the driver to step on it. The driver holds the protruding locking shafts 11 on both sides and uses his thumbs to push the blocks 132 on both sides upwards, disengaging the blocks 132 from the locking grooves 12. Then, he pulls the locking shafts 11 to open the second climbing ladder body 7. Under the action of gravity, the first climbing ladder body 2, in conjunction with the connecting rod 5, falls. When the connecting rod 5 hits the first limit block 6, it supports the first climbing ladder body 2. At this time, the first climbing ladder body 2 is pulled out, and the first climbing ladder body 2 and... The second ladder body 7 is on the same plane. The operator holds the handrail structure 17 and steps on the second pedal 9 and the first pedal 3 to climb into the cab. Other personnel outside help or wait until the complex working environment is cleared before folding the second ladder body 7 and the first ladder body 2 together and lifting them upwards to reset the first ladder body 2. The locking shaft 11 enters the locking groove 12. The side of the locking shaft 11 pushes the stop block 132 upwards to move the lever 131 upwards. When the locking shaft 11 is reset, the lever 131 is reset and locked by the elastic force of the spring 134.

[0033] The second ladder body 7 of this utility model can be opened to extend the length of the ladder. When the wheels or rotating platform are raised due to complex working conditions, the driver can open the second ladder body 7 to extend the length of the ladder, making it easier for the driver to enter the cab. This device also has a pull-out first ladder body 2. After the first ladder body 2 is pulled out, the driver's feet can always cooperate with the pedals, making it easier for the driver to step on and improving the safety of climbing. This device also has a locking mechanism 13 to facilitate the opening and closing of the second ladder. When the second ladder body 7 is closed, it is no different from a traditional fixed foot ladder, does not occupy other space, and is also easy to upgrade and improve the traditional fixed foot ladder.

[0034] The above are merely optional embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0035] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable way without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this utility model will not describe the various possible combinations separately.
