[0027] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, outlines some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0028] First aspect This embodiment provides a ladder handrail, as shown in the reference. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The ladder handrail includes a handrail 1 and mounting structures connected to both ends of the handrail 1. Each mounting structure includes a connecting seat 2, a rotary locking assembly 3, and an elastic element 35.

[0029] Wherein: both ends of the handrail 1 are installed on the connecting seat 2. The rotary lock assembly 3 includes a first rotating block 31, a second rotating block 32, a rotating rod 33, and a nut knob 34; the first rotating block 31 and the second rotating block 32 are located on one side of the connecting seat 2, and the first rotating block 31 is located between the connecting seat 2 and the second rotating block 32, and the nut knob 34 is located on the side of the connecting seat 2 away from the first rotating block 31; the rotating rod 33 passes through the through holes provided on the first rotating block 31 and the connecting seat 2, one end of the rotating rod 33 is fixedly connected to or circumferentially positioned on the second rotating block 32, and the other end of the rotating rod 33 is threadedly connected to the nut knob. The cross-sections of the first rotating block 31 and the second rotating block 32 along the radial direction of the rotating rod 33 are both polygonal. The surfaces of the first rotating block 31 and the second rotating block 32 facing each other are inclined or curved surfaces that are joined together along the axial direction of the rotating rod 33. The elastic element 35 is disposed between the first rotating block 31 and the second rotating block 32 and is configured to store elastic potential energy when the first rotating block 31 and the second rotating block 32 approach each other along the axial direction of the rotating rod 33, and to release the elastic potential energy in a free state to separate the first rotating block 31 and the second rotating block 32 from each other.

[0030] For usage instructions, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 3 to 6 The aforementioned ladder handrails are installed on both sides of the ladder frame 5. The installation method is as follows: the outer side of the ladder frame 5 is provided with an installation port 51. The cross-sectional dimension of the installation port 51 along the radial direction of the rotating rod 33 is slightly larger than the cross-sectional dimension of the first rotating block 31 and the second rotating block 32 along the radial direction of the rotating rod 33.

[0031] In the initial state, the first rotating block 31 and the second rotating block 32 are kept in a relatively separated state under the push of the elastic member 35. At this time, the splicing slope or curved surface of the first rotating block 31 and the second rotating block 32 is not completely attached. The overall structure of the first rotating block 31 and the second rotating block 32 is small in radial dimension, which makes it easy to insert into the installation port 51 of the ladder frame 5. Then, the user rotates the nut knob 34 to drive the rotating rod 33 to move along its axial direction (threaded transmission). The axial displacement of the rotating rod 33 causes the second rotating block 32 to rotate while overcoming the elastic force of the elastic element 35 and moving axially closer to the first rotating block 31. The splicing inclined surface or curved surface between the second rotating block 32 and the first rotating block 31 slides relative to each other in the circumferential direction, realizing the radial expansion of the overall structure of the first rotating block 31 and the second rotating block 32. Due to the thread self-locking characteristic between the nut knob 34 and the rotating rod 33, combined with the rebound force provided by the elastic element 35, the first rotating block 31 and the second rotating block 32 maintain a stable splicing state. At this time, a large frictional force is formed between the outer wall of the second rotating block 32 and the inner wall of the mounting port 51 to form a friction lock, effectively preventing the handrail 1 from loosening or falling off during use.

[0032] When the ladder handrail needs to be disassembled, the user rotates the nut knob 34 in the opposite direction, the rotating rod 33 retracts axially, the elastic element 35 releases stored energy, pushing the first rotating block 31 and the second rotating block 32 to separate. The contact force between the splicing inclined surface or curved surface disappears, and the friction between the outer wall of the second rotating block 32 and the inner wall of the mounting port 51 is released, so it can be easily disassembled.

[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, the design of the splicing inclined / curved surface between the first rotating block 31 and the second rotating block 32 enables it to automatically adapt to different sizes of mounting openings 51 during the locking process, thus possessing a certain degree of self-adaptability; the elastic element 35 not only serves a reset function but also provides stable splicing pressure during the locking process, ensuring the continuity and stability of the locking force; the self-locking characteristic of the threaded connection between the nut knob and the rotating rod, together with the rebound force of the elastic element 35, forms a dual locking mechanism, enhancing the reliability of the locking state.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the ladder handrail provided in this embodiment, through the ingenious design of the rotary locking component 3, converts axial displacement into radial expansion. Locking or unlocking can be completed with a simple rotation operation without the need for additional tools. This facilitates the installation or removal of the ladder handrail from the ladder frame, improving installation efficiency while achieving reliable locking. It can also be quickly disassembled as needed, reducing the space occupied by the ladder during storage and transportation, preventing damage to the ladder from bumps and collisions, and reducing transportation and maintenance costs.

[0035] In this embodiment, optionally, the through holes provided on the first rotating block 31 and the second rotating block 32 for the rotating rod 33 to pass through can be circular holes or elliptical holes, preferably elliptical holes to meet the requirements of adapting to various rod sizes.

[0036] In an optional embodiment of this invention, the rotating rod 33 is a bolt, comprising an integrally connected threaded rod and a limiting end. The threaded rod passes through holes provided on the second rotating block 32, the first rotating block 31, and the connecting seat 2. The limiting end is located on the side of the second rotating block 32 opposite to the first rotating block 31 and is circumferentially positioned on the second rotating block 32. The end of the threaded rod away from the limiting end is threadedly connected to a nut knob. The rotating rod 33 provided in this optional embodiment uses a bolt, which is a standard part, facilitating manufacturing, simplifying the installation structure, and reducing manufacturing costs. In this embodiment, there are various ways to circumferentially position one end of the rotating rod 33 against the second rotating block 32. For example, but not limited to, when the rotating rod 33 is the aforementioned bolt, optionally, a polygonal limiting groove 321 is provided on the surface of the second rotating block 32 facing away from the first rotating block 31, and the through hole provided on the second rotating block 32 is located inside the polygonal limiting groove 321; the rotating rod 33 is a bolt, and the shape of its limiting end is the same as the shape of the polygonal limiting groove 321, which can be a square, hexagon, or other polygonal shape, and the specific shape can be selected according to actual needs; its limiting end is limited inside the polygonal limiting groove 321 and blocked outside the through hole provided on the second rotating block 32. Since the shape of the limiting end matches the polygonal limiting groove 321, the rotating rod 33 will not move axially relative to the second rotating block 32 when rotating, but it can transmit rotational force. Thus, when the user rotates the nut knob 34, the rotating rod 33 rotates with the second rotating block 32.

[0037] In an optional embodiment of this invention, the surfaces of the first rotating block 31 and the second rotating block 32 facing each other are both flat inclined surfaces, and the sum of the inclination angles of the two inclined surfaces is 180°. In this optional embodiment, the inclined surface design simplifies the assembly process, improves production efficiency, and makes the relative movement between the first rotating block 31 and the second rotating block 32 smoother. Smoother relative movement reduces wear between components and extends service life. Compared with complex curved surfaces, the inclined surface design results in less wear and lower maintenance costs.

[0038] In this embodiment, the elastic element 35 can be a spring disposed parallel to the rotating rod 33 between the first rotating block 31 and the second rotating block 32, or it can be other elastic components. In an optional embodiment, the elastic element 35 is a spring sleeved on the outside of the rotating rod 33. By using the rotating rod 33 as a central guide structure, the elastic restoring force of the elastic element 35 is improved, ensuring that the first rotating block 31 and the second rotating block 32 quickly separate along the axial direction of the rotating rod 33 in the unlocked state.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, the connecting seat 2 includes a first connecting seat 21 and a second connecting seat 22. The end of the handrail 1 is fixedly connected to the first connecting seat 21 by bolt and nut assembly or other fasteners or by welding. The rotating rod 33 passes through a through hole provided on the second connecting seat 22, and the first connecting seat 21 and the second connecting seat 22 are rotatably connected. A folding assembly 4 is installed between the first connecting seat 21 and the second connecting seat 22. The folding assembly 4 is configured to adjust and lock the rotation angle between the first connecting seat 21 and the second connecting seat 22. In this optional embodiment, by designing the folding assembly 4, the space occupied by the ladder handrail can be reduced when storing and transporting the ladder, and the handrail can be protected from protruding from the ladder frame 5 without having to remove the handrail, making it convenient for users.

[0040] In this optional embodiment, further optionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The aforementioned folding assembly 4 includes a stepped pin 41, a positioning spring 42, a retaining spring 43, and an end cap 44.

[0041] Connecting seat 1 21 has two connecting pieces 211 extending towards connecting seat 22 on the same side as connecting seat 21. Each connecting piece 211 has a circular shaft hole. Connecting seat 22 has two connecting pieces 221 extending towards connecting seat 21 on the same side as connecting seat 22. Each connecting piece 221 has an arc-shaped guide channel 220. The guide channel 220 includes an arc-shaped guide hole connected in sequence and two end circular holes respectively located at both ends of the arc-shaped guide hole and connected to the arc-shaped guide hole. The diameter of the end circular holes is larger than the width of the arc-shaped guide hole. Connecting pieces 211 and connecting pieces 221 are fitted one-to-one. The arrangement of the four connecting pieces includes: two connecting pieces 211 located between two connecting pieces 221, or two connecting pieces 221 located between two connecting pieces 211, or connecting pieces 211 and connecting pieces 221 arranged alternately. Preferably, as shown in the figure. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the two connecting pieces 1 211 are positioned between the two connecting pieces 221.

[0042] The stepped pin 41 passes through the circular shaft holes provided in the two connecting pieces 1 211 and the guide channels 220 provided in the two connecting pieces 221. The stepped pin 41 includes a limiting head 411, a head end segment 412, a middle segment 413, and a tail end segment 414 connected axially in sequence. The outer diameter of the limiting head 411 is greater than the diameter of the circular hole at the middle end of the guide channel 220, which is greater than the diameter of the head end segment 412, which is greater than the diameter of the arc-shaped guide hole in the guide channel 220, which is greater than the diameter of the middle segment 413. Furthermore, the diameter of the arc-shaped guide hole in the guide channel 220 is greater than the diameter of the tail end segment 414. The tail end segment 414 may have the same radial dimension as the middle segment 413 or... Figure 2 The radial dimension shown is slightly larger than that of the middle section 413, but it should be ensured that it can rotate along the arc-shaped guide hole in the guide channel 220.

[0043] End cap 44 and retaining ring 43 are spaced apart and fixedly connected to tail end rod segment 414. Positioning spring 42 is sleeved on the outside of middle rod segment 413. Along the axial direction of stepped pin 41: end cap 44 and limiting head 411 are respectively located on the opposite side of the two connecting pieces at the two ends of the four connecting pieces, and there is a gap between end cap 44 and the corresponding connecting piece. Retaining ring 43 and positioning spring 42 are both located between the two connecting pieces in the middle of the four connecting pieces. One end of positioning spring 42 abuts against retaining ring 43, and the other end of positioning spring 42 abuts against the connecting piece facing the limiting head 411, so that positioning spring 42 is in a state of being compressed and storing elastic potential energy, thereby positioning head end rod segment 412 inside an end round hole provided in connecting piece 221 near the limiting head 411.

[0044] Pressing the end cap 44 towards the limiting head 411 further compresses the positioning spring 42, causing the stepped pin 41 to move axially toward the limiting head 411 until one side surface of the end cap 44 contacts the surface of the connecting piece closest to the end cap 44. This causes the head end rod segment 412 to disengage from the corresponding end hole of the guide channel 220, and the middle rod segment 413 to enter the end hole. At this point, rotating the handrail 1 and the connecting seat 21 allows the middle rod segment 413 of the stepped pin 41 to move along the guide channel 220. The arc-shaped guide hole slides from one end hole of the guide channel 220 into the other end hole. At this time, the end cover 44 is released, and the positioning spring 42 rebounds, so that the stepped pin 41 rebounds axially in the direction away from the limiting head 411 to the initial state where the positioning spring 42 is compressed and storing elastic potential energy. Thus, under the elastic force of the positioning spring 42, the head end rod segment 412 is positioned inside one end hole of the connecting piece 221 near the limiting head 411, thus achieving the current positioning.

[0045] In this optional embodiment, the rotatable angle of the handrail 1 can be designed according to the angle of the tread 6 provided on the ladder frame 5. For example, but not limited to, the central angle of the two end circular through holes in the guide channel 220 can be any angle between 80°, 85°, 90° or 80°~90°.

[0046] To facilitate disassembly and assembly, in an optional embodiment of this invention, the tail end rod segment 414 is provided with a positioning hole one, and the end cap 44 is provided with a positioning hole two on its side wall. The positioning pin 45 passes through the positioning hole two and is fixed to the positioning hole one by means of threaded connection, interference fit, or snap-fit, so as to fix the end cap 44 to the tail end rod segment 414. However, the fixing method between the tail end rod segment 414 and the end cap 44 is not limited to this. For example, but not limited to, the two can also be fixed by threaded connection or other means.

[0047] Alternatively, but not limited to, connecting seat 1 21 and connecting seat 2 22 are rotatably connected by a bolt and nut assembly.

[0048] Second aspect This embodiment provides a ladder, as shown in the following example.
