DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0022] The invention is further expounded below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are used to explain the invention, but are not intended to limit the invention.

Embodiment 1

[0023] Referring to FIGS. 1-5, in this embodiment, a rung 2 mounting structure used for a ladder includes, as shown in FIG. 1, two supporting legs 1 and a rung 2, wherein upper ends of the two supporting legs 1 are connected through a connecting plate 3, and the rung 2 is arranged between the supporting legs 1; the supporting legs 1 are made of metal sections, and preferably, the supporting legs 1 and the rung 2 are made of aluminum alloy sections; concave parts 10 are arranged on inner sides of the supporting legs 1 and are provided with openings allowing the rung 2 to be inserted therein, and the sides, opposite to the openings, of the concave parts 10 are sealed. In this embodiment, the concave parts 10 are preferably holes formed only in the inner sides of the supporting legs 1 and having one ends sealed, so that compared with existing connecting structures provided with through holes, the bending resistance of the supporting legs 1 is greatly enhanced, and the load-bearing capacity of the supporting legs 1 is improved. Preferably, the contour of the concave parts 10 is noncircular and particularly can be rectangular, elliptical, pentagonal or hexagonal. Preferably, the cross section of the rung 2 is rectangular, elliptical, pentagonal or hexagonal correspondingly. After the rung 2 is inserted into the concave parts 10, the rung 2 and the supporting legs 1 are circumferentially limited and cannot rotate. After the rung 2 is inserted into the concave parts 10, the rung 2 is fixedly connected to the supporting legs 1 through fasteners or other existing techniques.

[0024] Preferably, the cross section of the rung 2 in this embodiment is noncircular and particularly can be rectangular, elliptical, pentagonal, hexagonal or the like. The rung 2 of this structure can be conveniently and rapidly manufactured through cold drawing and can be circumferentially limited together with the supporting legs 1.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 2, the rung mounting structure in this embodiment further includes a connecting piece 4, wherein the connecting piece 4 includes a bottom face 41, two sides of the bottom face 41 are bent to form two opposite first side faces 42, a gap allowing the rung 2 to be inserted therein is reserved between the two first side faces 42, and the ends, away from the bottom face 41, of the two first side faces 42 are bent outwards to form flanges 43. After being assembled, the bottom face 41 and the first side faces 42 of the connecting piece 4 fall into the concave parts 10, the rung 2 having the rectangular or elliptical cross section is arranged between the two first side faces 42 and is clamped by the two first side faces 42, and thus, the connecting piece 4 and the rung 2 are stably and reliably connected. The flanges 43 are connected to the supporting legs 1 on the periphery of the concave parts 10 through fasteners. Preferably, the connecting piece 4 is an iron piece, the first side faces 42 and the flanges 43 are formed by punching the same iron plate, the connecting piece 4 is arranged between the rung 2 and each supporting leg 1, and the strength of the iron connecting piece 4 is better than that of the aluminum alloy rung 2, so that after being assembled, the rung 2 and the supporting leg 1 can be more stably connected through the connecting piece 4 to the excellent stress performance.

[0026] FIG. 3 shows another implementation of the connecting piece 4 in this embodiment. According to this implementation, second side faces 44 are arranged between the two first side faces 42 of the connecting piece 4, and the second side faces 44 are fixedly connected to the bottom face 41 or the first side faces 42. Extension sections of the bottom face 41 or the first side faces 42 are bent to form the second side faces 44. The rung 2 is surrounded all around by the two first side faces 42 and the two second side faces 44, so that the rung 2 is more comprehensively limited by the connecting piece 4. In this embodiment, all-around surrounding is not limited to seamless surrounding and also includes surrounding with gaps formed at junctions between the first side faces 42 and the second side faces 44.

[0027] In this embodiment, the first side faces 42 of the connecting piece 4 abuts against the concave parts 10, and the connecting piece 4 is supported by the concave parts 10. The connecting piece 4 enlarges the supporting area, so that deformation caused by local stress or non-uniform stress of the concave parts 10 is avoided.

[0028] In this embodiment, the first side faces 42 or the second side faces 44 of the connecting piece 4 abut against the concave parts 10, and the connecting piece 4 is supported by the concave parts 10. The connecting piece 4 enlarges the supporting area, so that deformation caused by local stress or non-uniform stress of the concave parts 10 is avoided.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 4, the rung mounting structure in this embodiment further includes a mounting piece 5, wherein the mounting piece 5 includes a sleeve body 51 having two open ends, so that mounting and positioning are facilitated. A mounting plate 52 is fixedly arranged on the sleeve body 51. After being assembled, the sleeve body 51 completely or partially falls into the concave parts 10 and is arranged around the rung 2, the mounting plate 52 is fixed to the supporting legs 1 through fasteners, and the fasteners are preferably rivets. Preferably, the mounting piece 5 is an iron piece, the sleeve body 51 is rectangular, elliptical or pentagonal, the rung 2 is surrounded all around by the sleeve body 51, and the sleeve body 51 having the two open ends is low in weight and can still fulfill a good load-bearing effect. In this embodiment, all-around surrounding of the rung 2 by the sleeve body 51 does not limit seamless surrounding and also includes the condition that the sleeve body 51 has joint seams.

[0030] In this embodiment, an outer wall of the sleeve body 51 abuts against the concave parts 10, and the mounting piece 5 is supported by the concave parts 10, so that deformation caused by local stress or non-uniform stress of the concave parts 10 is avoided.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 5, the rung 2 in this embodiment extends in the width direction to form a pedal part 6, two ends of the pedal part 6 are concaved inwards relative to the ends of the rung 2, and after being assembled, the two ends of the pedal part 6 are closely attached to the inner sides of the supporting legs 1. After being assembled, the supporting legs 1 are supported by the pedal part 6 to inwards draw close to each other. After the rung 2 is fixedly connected to the two supporting legs 1, the two supporting legs 1 are pulled by the rung 2 to be prevented from being outwards separated from each other. After being assembled, the rung mounting structure is stressed in two directions, thereby being stable and reliable. Preferably, the pedal part 6 and the rung 2 are integrally formed. The rung 2 formed with the pedal part 6 is directly connected to the supporting legs 1 through fasteners or is fixedly connected to the supporting legs 1 through the connecting piece 4 or the mounting piece 5.
