The top and bottom edges of the external pedal 4 are provided with hanging ear plates 41. The hanging ear plates 41 on the top edge of the external pedal 4 are provided with pin holes 42 at the positions corresponding to the hanging protrusions 211.

The output shaft of the worm gear reducer 63 passes through the fixed end plate 67 and is fixedly disposed on a locking tongue 64; an inductive switch 66 and a buffer 65 are also disposed on the fixed end plate 67; an installation notch 222 is provided on the fixed pedal 22, and a locking plate 25 is fixedly disposed on the platform bracket 21 at the position corresponding to the installation notch 222. The locking plate 25 is provided with a locking hole that matches the locking tongue 64, and when the support platform 2 is retracted, the locking hole on the locking plate 25 can pass through the locking tongue 64. The drive motor 62 can drive the worm gear reducer 63 to make the locking tongue 64 and the locking hole offset at a certain angle to lock the support platform 2.

[0017] Please refer to the following: Figure 9-10 The working principle during use is as follows: the platform base 11, the support base 12 and the locking base 61 are fixed to the foundation support wall; From vertically retracted to horizontally extended: The worm gear reducer 63 driven by the drive motor 62 rotates the locking tongue 64. After the locking tongue 64 rotates to coincide with the locking hole of the locking plate 25, the drive motor 62 stops running. The telescopic end of the electro-hydraulic actuator 32 extends, causing the transmission beam 33 to slide relative to the linear slide rail 24, thereby causing the support platform 2 to swing downward and unfold. When the front end of the support platform 2 rotates to the protrusion of the construction object 100, the support platform 2 smoothly avoids the protrusion of the construction object 100 through the avoidance space provided by the external foot pedal 4 and the avoidance foot pedal 5 at its front end until the support platform 2 is fully unfolded. Then, the avoidance foot pedal 5 is placed at the installation notch 221 and fixed to the platform bracket 21 with screws. Finally, the external foot pedal 4 is attached to the front end of the support platform 2, and then the operator can stand on the work platform to carry out construction on the construction object 100. From horizontally extended state to vertically retracted state: After pulling out the pin 8, remove the external pedal 4 from the support platform 2, and then remove the avoidance pedal 5 from the support platform 2. The telescopic end of the electro-hydraulic actuator 32 retracts, causing the transmission beam 33 to slide relative to the linear slide rail 24, thereby causing the support platform 2 to swing upward and retract. When the front end of the support platform 2 rotates to the protrusion of the construction object 100, the avoidance space left by the external pedal 4 and the avoidance pedal 5 at its front end allows the support platform 2 to smoothly avoid the protrusion of the construction object 100 until the support platform 2 is completely retracted. The impact of the support platform 2 on the locking mechanism 6 is reduced by the buffer 65. The induction switch 66 detects whether the support platform 2 has been retracted into place. When the support platform 2 has been retracted into place, the drive motor 62 drives the worm gear reducer 63 to rotate the locking tongue 64. The locking tongue 64 rotates until it is misaligned with the locking hole of the locking plate 25 (e.g., rotates 90°), and then the drive motor 62 stops running, thereby locking the support platform 2 with the locking tongue 64.

[0018] Please refer to the following: Figure 6-7 A reinforcing rib 44 is provided between the top edge hanging ear plate 41 and the bottom edge hanging ear plate 41 to increase the structural strength of the hanging ear plate 41. The outer pedal 4 is provided with weight-reducing holes evenly distributed. The outer pedal 4 is provided with no less than two handles 9. The handles 9 are U-shaped bolt structures, and the bolt posts on both sides of the handles 9 are vertically downward and fitted into two of the weight-reducing holes. Two nuts are screwed to the ends of the bolt posts on both sides of the handles 9. The handles 9 can reliably fit against the top surface of the outer pedal 4 by their own weight. The handles 9 facilitate the attachment and removal of the outer pedal 4.

[0019] The retractable work platform disclosed in this embodiment, capable of avoiding protrusions, uses a retractable drive mechanism 3 to drive the support platform 2 to extend or retract with high precision. A locking mechanism 6 locks the support platform 2 during retraction, ensuring reliable locking and improving the platform's safety. A detachable external pedal 4 and an obstacle avoidance pedal 5 at the front end of the support platform 2 allow for obstacle avoidance. This retractable work platform has a simple structure, stable and reliable extension and retraction actions, and easy disassembly and reassembly of the external and manual pedals, making it simple to operate.

[0020] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
