Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ladders, specifically to a rotating storage platform. Background Technology

[0002] Ladders are commonly used tools in high-altitude work scenarios such as electrical work, painting, or home repairs. However, when using ladders, operators often lack a stable and reliable flat surface to place tools, screws, paint buckets, and other materials.

[0003] Existing solutions, such as tool waist bags, restrict operator movement and have limited capacity; while some ladder-mounted shelves are usually fixed, not only limited in size but also obstructing the storage or transport of the ladder, resulting in additional space occupation and inconvenience. If the shelf is designed to be detachable, it suffers from cumbersome installation, easy loss, and unstable connections. Therefore, how to provide stable storage without compromising the ladder's convenient storage is a pressing problem to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a rotating storage platform, which aims to solve the problems of existing ladder accessories having limited functionality, inconvenient operation, and difficulty in balancing work and storage.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model specifically provides the following technical solution: Rotating storage platform, including: A rotating support base; A shelf is rotatably connected to the rotating support base in the front-to-back direction. The shelf can achieve a basically horizontal working state and a folded state that is basically parallel to the rotating support base by its own rotation. A limiting component is configured to operatively lock the shelf in an active and folded state.

[0006] Furthermore, the rotating support includes a crossbeam, and a left support and a right support fixedly connected to both ends of the crossbeam; The platform has two rotating arms in the left and right directions, respectively, and the rotating arms are rotatably connected to the left support and the right support.

[0007] Furthermore, the limiting component includes: A telescopic rod is telescopically installed inside the crossbeam; A plug is provided at at least one end of the telescopic rod; A first socket and a second socket are provided on the rotating arm; When the shelf is in working condition, the plug can be inserted into the first socket to lock it; when the shelf is in folded condition, the plug can be inserted into the second socket to lock it.

[0008] Furthermore, the telescopic rod includes two sliding rods that can slide towards each other, the inside of the crossbeam is provided with guide holes for the sliding rods to slide, and the plug is disposed at one end of each sliding rod away from the inside of the crossbeam; The left and right supports are provided with through holes corresponding to the two plugs respectively. The diameter of the through holes allows the plugs to pass through, but does not allow the sliding rod to pass through.

[0009] Furthermore, an elastic element is provided between the two sliding rods, the elastic element being configured to push the two sliding rods away from each other when no external force is applied, so that the plug extends out of the through hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the limiting component also includes two handles respectively connected to the two sliding rods. When the two handles are operated to bring the two sliding rods closer together to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element, the plug retracts into the through hole to allow the shelf to rotate.

[0011] Furthermore, each of the sliding rods has a slot at one end facing the interior of the crossbeam; the two ends of the elastic element are respectively accommodated in the two slots.

[0012] Furthermore, a guide groove parallel to the guide hole is provided on one side of the crossbeam, and a slider is formed on the handle and slidably installed inside the guide groove. The slider passes through the guide groove and is connected to the sliding rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the crossbeam is provided with multiple limiting members, which are used to limit the sliding stroke of the slider in the guide groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the rotating arm extends substantially vertically downward from the shelf, such that in the working state, the shelf surface is higher than the rotating support; in the folded state, the shelf surface is parallel and close to the rotating support.

[0015] This application achieves the following beneficial effects: The rotating storage platform of this application can provide a stable horizontal work surface when needed, and can be rotated and folded into a vertical state when not needed, so that it fits parallel to the main body of the ladder, which greatly optimizes the space utilization and facilitates the overall storage and transportation of the ladder.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] The rotating storage platform of this utility model mainly includes a rotating support base 1 and a storage platform 2 that can be rotatably mounted thereon.

[0020] It should be noted that the front, back, left, right, top, and bottom positions of this application are based on the positions of the rotating storage platform in its normal use state. For example, the left and right directions are the length direction of the storage platform 2, which is also the horizontal direction in this embodiment, while the vertical direction is the width direction of the storage platform 2.

[0021] Among them, the rotating support 1 is a main body for installation, for example, at the top of a ladder, and is usually set at the waist or chest position when the user operates it.

[0022] The rotating support 1 includes a left support 11 and a right support 12, which are fixedly connected as one unit by a crossbeam 13.

[0023] The shelf 2 provides a flat surface for users to place tools.

[0024] Preferably, the left and right sides of the platform 2 are provided with two rotating arms 22 that extend downwards at a substantially vertical angle. These two rotating arms 22 are rotatably connected to the left support 11 and the right support 12 by means of (e.g., screws).

[0025] Through this connection method, the shelf 2 can switch between two states: one is the working state, in which the shelf 2 is horizontal, and its upper surface can be provided with grooves 21 of various shapes and sizes or through guide holes 131 for placing electrical tools, screws, nuts, paint buckets, etc.; the other is the folded state, in which the shelf 2 is stored in a vertical position for easy storage by the user.

[0026] The design of the rotating arm 22 allows the shelf 2 to extend horizontally away from the rotating support 1 when it is rotated to the working state. The two rotating arms 22 basically overlap with the left support 11 and the right support 12, which does not hinder the user from climbing the ladder. When the shelf 2 is rotated to the folded state, it can fit parallel to the rotating support 1.

[0027] To ensure that the shelf 2 can be stably maintained in the required working state and folded (storage) state, a limiting component 3 is provided.

[0028] The limiting component 3 is configured to lock the shelf 2 when it is rotated to the working state and the folded state, preventing it from rotating, and allowing the shelf 2 to rotate freely between the working state and the folded state after being unlocked.

[0029] The limiting component 3 includes: a telescopic rod 31 inserted inside the crossbeam 13, and a set of handles 33 for operating the telescopic rod 31 to perform telescopic actions.

[0030] When the user operates the handle 33, the telescopic rod 31 extends or retracts accordingly, thereby performing a locking or unlocking action.

[0031] At least one end of the telescopic rod 31 is provided with a plug 312, and the shelf 2 (for example on its rotating arm 22) is provided with a socket corresponding to the plug 312.

[0032] Specifically, the shelf 2 is provided with a first socket 23 corresponding to the plug 312 when it is rotated to the working state, and a second socket 24 corresponding to the plug 312 when it is rotated to the folded state.

[0033] When the telescopic rod 31 extends, the plug 312 is inserted into the corresponding first socket 23 or second socket 24, thereby fixing the shelf 2 in the current working state or folded state.

[0034] Preferably, both ends of the telescopic rod 31 are provided with plugs 312, and correspondingly, both rotating arms 22 are provided with a first socket 23 and a second socket 24.

[0035] Specifically, the telescopic rod 31 includes two sliding rods 311, and the crossbeam 13 has a guide hole 131 inside for the sliding rods 311 to move.

[0036] The plug 312 is disposed at one end of each sliding rod 311 away from the interior of the crossbeam 13, and the diameter of the plug 312 is smaller than the diameter of the sliding rod 311.

[0037] The left support 11 and the right support 12 are provided with two through holes 14 corresponding to the two sliding rods 311 respectively. The diameter of the through holes 14 allows the two plugs 312 to pass through but does not allow the two sliding rods 311 to pass through.

[0038] Preferably, there are two handles 33, which are respectively connected to the two sliding rods 311.

[0039] By operating the two handles 33, the user causes the two sliding rods 311 to slide inside the guide hole 131 of the crossbeam 13, thereby allowing the two plugs 312 to be inserted into the two first sockets 23 or the two second sockets 24 respectively.

[0040] Preferably, a spring is provided between the two sliding rods 311.

[0041] The spring is constrained by the guide hole 131 to a position coaxial with the two sliding rods 311, and is in a compressed state due to the pressure of the two sliding rods 311.

[0042] Its function is that, when there is no external force, the spring pushes the two sliding rods 311 so that the plug 312 always passes through the two through holes 14 (and is inserted into the corresponding socket), thus achieving automatic locking.

[0043] Only when the user operates the two handles 33 to bring the two sliding rods 311 closer together (overcoming the spring force) will the two plugs 312 retract into the two through holes 14, at which point the shelf 2 will be unlocked and can be rotated.

[0044] Specifically, each sliding rod 311 is provided with a positioning pin 313 with a diameter smaller than that of the sliding rod 311 at one end facing the inside of the crossbeam 13. The outer peripheral wall of the two positioning pins 313 and the inner peripheral wall of the guide hole 131 form a cylindrical slot 314, and the two ends of the spring are respectively inserted into the two slots 314.

[0045] Preferably, a guide groove 132 parallel to the guide hole 131 is provided on one side of the crossbeam 13, and the bottom of the guide groove 132 is connected to the guide hole 131.

[0046] Each handle 33 is slidably connected to the guide groove 132, and the side of each handle 33 facing the inside of the crossbeam 13 passes through the guide groove 132 and is connected to a sliding rod 311, while the side of each handle 33 away from the inside of the crossbeam 13 passes through the guide groove 132 to form a shape that is easy for the user to operate.

[0047] Specifically, two sliders 331 are formed on each of the two handles 33. These two sliders 331 are slidably installed inside the guide groove 132, and each slider 331 is connected to the corresponding sliding rod 311 by fasteners 332 such as screws.

[0048] Preferably, the crossbeam 13 is provided with a through guide groove 132 and a plurality of limiting members 15 (e.g., rivets) that are fixedly connected to the crossbeam 13.

[0049] Each slider 331 is restricted to slide between two limit members 15 in the sliding direction.

[0050] The distance between the two limiting members 15 minus the length of the slider 331 is the stroke of the slider 331.

[0051] This design confines the impact force generated when the spring pushes the two sliding rods 311 to move within the crossbeam 13, preventing impact on the left support 11, right support 12, or shelf 2.

[0052] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to this utility model within its substance and scope of protection, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions should also be considered as falling within the scope of protection of this utility model.
