Aircraft lifting device

Abstract

This aircraft lifting device is used by wheelchair users, their caregivers, and disabled users to board and disembark from aircraft when there is no bonding bridge. The ground-side ramp is provided so that it can rotate up and down, and handrails on both sides of it are removable. A lift member is provided so that it can be raised and lowered, allowing people to pass through and board the lift member. The aircraft-side ramp is stored in the lower part of the lift member so that it can be retracted and retracted. In addition, an auxiliary ramp is provided on the aircraft side of the lift member so that it can rotate up and down. A door is provided on the ground-side ramp side of the lift member so that it can be opened and closed. In the "general passenger use state" where the ground-side ramp is rotated downward and installed with a handrail attached, the auxiliary ramp is rotated downward, and the lift member is positioned at the bottom with the door open, general passengers can pass through the lift member and go up and down the stairs. When the auxiliary ramp is rotated upward from the "general passenger use state" to "wheelchair use state 1," wheelchair users, their caregivers, and users with disabilities can enter the lift member via the ground-side ramp. Next, the door is closed and the lift member is raised as shown in "wheelchair use state 2." Next, as shown in "wheelchair use state 2," the aircraft-side ramp is installed between the lift member and the aircraft boarding gate, and the auxiliary ramp is rotated downward, allowing wheelchair users, their caregivers, and users with disabilities to move from the lift member to the aircraft boarding gate.
