Splicing step device

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a technical field of steps, and in particular to a splicing step device.

BACKGROUND

Steps include fixed steps and detachable steps. The fixed steps are, for example, conventional steps in the buildings and steps in scenic areas.

The detachable steps generally include a frame and plates. The frame serves as a main part of the steps, and the frame includes at least two mounting portions, where each of the mounting portions is for mounting a corresponding plate. Each of the plates is mounted a corresponding mounting portion to form a step thereof. The detachable steps may be applied indoors or outdoors, for example, in a swimming pool, a spa, and the like.

However, the step body of the detachable steps in the related art is large in size. The processing plant needs a sufficiently large space to store the step body and the plates, thereby increasing the cost. In addition, in actual transportation processes, the large size of the step body takes up too much space in transportation means, resulting in a decrease in the actual transportation capacity of the transportation means and an increase in the transportation cost.
