[0016] The technical solution of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this utility model provides a telescopic step device for vehicles, which is installed under the vehicle chassis at the vehicle door. The telescopic step device for vehicles includes a mounting plate 1, a first hinge seat 11, a second hinge seat 12, a third hinge seat 13, a first pedal 41, a second pedal 42, an electric cylinder 2, and a folding linkage rod assembly 3; The hinge openings of the first hinge seat 11, the second hinge seat 12, and the third hinge seat 13 face downwards. The upper ends of the first hinge seat 11, the second hinge seat 12, and the third hinge seat 13 are provided with integrally formed fixing studs. The fixing bolts at the upper ends of the first hinge seat 11, the second hinge seat 12, and the third hinge seat 13 pass through the mounting plate 1 from bottom to top and are respectively fixedly connected to the underside of the vehicle chassis. The first hinge seat 11 and the second hinge seat 12 are arranged opposite each other, and the third hinge seat 13 is located on the perpendicular bisector of the line connecting the first hinge seat 11 and the second hinge seat 12. By adjusting the connection depth between the fixing bolts at the upper ends of the first hinge seat 11, the second hinge seat 12, and the third hinge seat 13 and the vehicle chassis, the overall height of the telescopic step ladder device on the vehicle can be adjusted to accommodate different height requirements.

[0018] The first pedal 41 and the second pedal 42 are fixedly connected to the folding linkage group 3, which is hinged to the hinge opening of the first hinge seat 11 and the second hinge seat 12. The tail end of the electric cylinder 2 is hinged to the hinge opening of the third hinge seat 13, and the output end of the electric cylinder 2 is connected to the folding linkage group 3 to drive the folding linkage group 3 to fold or unfold.

[0019] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the folding linkage rod group 3 includes a linkage shaft 33, a first straight rod 311, a second straight rod 312, a third straight rod 313, a fourth straight rod 313, a first pedal fixing rod 321, a second pedal fixing rod 322, a third pedal fixing rod 323, and a fourth pedal fixing rod 324. Each pedal fixing rod includes an integrally formed pedal fixing part and a linkage connecting part. One end of the pedal fixing part and the linkage connecting part intersects at an obtuse angle, and the other end extends outward along a straight line. The first pedal fixing rod 321 and the second pedal fixing rod 322 are arranged parallel to each other. The first pedal 41 is fixedly connected between the pedal fixing parts of the first pedal fixing rod 321 and the second pedal fixing rod 322. The two ends of the linkage shaft 33 are fixedly connected to the ends of the linkage connecting parts of the first pedal fixing rod 321 and the second pedal fixing rod 322, respectively. The third pedal fixing rod 323 and the fourth pedal fixing rod 324 are arranged parallel to each other. The second pedal 42 is fixedly connected between the pedal fixing parts of the third pedal fixing rod 323 and the fourth pedal fixing rod 324. The first straight rod 311 and the second straight rod 312 are arranged in parallel opposite directions; the corner of the first pedal fixing rod 321 is hinged to the middle of the first straight rod 311, and the corner of the second pedal fixing rod 322 is hinged to the middle of the second straight rod 312; one end of the first straight rod 311 is hinged to the first hinge seat 11, and the other end is hinged to the end of the linkage connection part of the third pedal fixing rod 323; one end of the second straight rod 312 is hinged to the second hinge seat 12, and the other end is hinged to the end of the linkage connection part of the fourth pedal fixing rod 324; One end of the third straight rod 313 is hinged to the pedal fixing part of the first pedal fixing rod 321, and the other end is hinged to the linkage connection part of the third pedal fixing rod 323; one end of the fourth straight rod 314 is hinged to the pedal fixing part of the second pedal fixing rod 322, and the other end is hinged to the linkage connection part of the fourth pedal fixing rod 324. The output end of the electric cylinder 2 is connected to the linkage shaft 33, and is used to control the folding linkage rod group 3 to fold or unfold by pushing the linkage shaft 33. When the folding linkage rod group 3 is in the folded state, the first pedal 41 and the second pedal 42 are both stored under the mounting plate. When the folding linkage rod group 3 is in the unfolded state, the first pedal 41 and the second pedal 42 extend outward from under the mounting plate.

[0020] Furthermore, the lengths of the first straight rod 311 and the second straight rod 312 are greater than the lengths of the third straight rod 313 and the fourth straight rod 314.

[0021] Furthermore, the output end of the electric cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to a spherical bearing 21, and the spherical bearing 21 is rotatably connected to the middle part of the linkage shaft 33.

[0022] As an improvement, the first hinge seat 11 and the second hinge seat 12 are provided with arc-shaped limiting grooves, and the sides of the first straight rod 311 and the second straight rod 312 are provided with limiting posts that match the limiting grooves. The limiting posts of the first straight rod 311 and the second straight rod 312 are respectively limited and connected in the limiting grooves of the first hinge seat 11 and the second hinge seat 12 to limit the movement stroke of the first straight rod 311 and the second straight rod 312.

[0023] like Figure 4 As shown, this utility model embodiment also provides a fire truck, which includes the telescopic ladder device for vehicles described above; the telescopic ladder device for vehicles is installed on the chassis below the door of the fire truck through fixing studs at the upper ends of the first hinge seat 11, the second hinge seat 12 and the third hinge seat 13.

[0024] Furthermore, the fire truck is equipped with a door opening sensor at its door to detect the door's open / closed status. The door opening sensor is connected to the electric cylinder of the telescopic ladder device via a control circuit.

[0025] When the car door is opened, the door opening sensor detects the door opening and sends a sensing signal to the control circuit. The control circuit then sends an extension control signal to the electric cylinder 2, causing the output end of the electric cylinder 2 to extend outwards. This pushes the linkage shaft 33 to unfold the folding linkage assembly 3. The first pedal 41 and the second pedal 42 also unfold simultaneously for the driver to exit the vehicle. When the car door is closed, the door opening sensor detects the door closing and sends a sensing signal to the control circuit. The control circuit then sends a shortening control signal to the electric cylinder 2, causing the output end of the electric cylinder 2 to retract inwards. This pulls the linkage shaft 33 to fold the folding linkage assembly 3. The first pedal 41 and the second pedal 42 also fold and retract simultaneously to below the mounting plate 1.

[0026] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
