[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0021] It should be understood that in the description of this application, the terms "upper," "lower," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are used solely for the convenience of describing this application and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. That is, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. Furthermore, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0022] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0023] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the rescue boat storage rack in some embodiments of the present invention includes a support frame 1, a first telescopic member 2, and a second telescopic member 3. The first telescopic member 2 and the second telescopic member 3 are used to adjust the length between two adjacent support frames 1.

[0024] The support frame 1 has at least two members that are spaced apart along the horizontal longitudinal direction. The support frame 1 includes a bottom support 11 and two sets of adjustment components 12 arranged horizontally on the bottom support 11. The adjustment components 12 include a buffer strip 121, a support strip 122, a hinge 123, and a plurality of lifting components 124. The buffer strip 121 is fixed on the support strip 122. The upper end of the hinge 123 is installed on the first end of the support strip 122. The upper ends of the plurality of lifting components 124 are installed on the middle and second ends of the support strip 122. The lower ends of the hinge 123 and the lower ends of the plurality of lifting components 124 are installed on the bottom support 11.

[0025] The first telescopic component 2 is connected to the bottom bracket 11 of two adjacent support frames 1. In this way, the first telescopic component 2 makes the distance between the bottom brackets 11 of the two support frames 1 adjustable smoothly.

[0026] The second telescopic member 3 is connected to the lifting members 124 of two adjacent support frames 1. In this way, the second telescopic member 3 makes the distance between the lifting members 124 of the two support frames 1 adjustable smoothly.

[0027] In use, the length of two adjacent support frames 1 can be adjusted by adjusting the extension and retraction of the first telescopic member 2 and the second telescopic member 3. By adjusting the lifting and lowering of multiple lifting members 124, the support bar 122 is driven around the hinge member 123, thereby adjusting the support angle of the support bar 122. This facilitates the buffer bar 121 to fit against the bottom surface of the rescue boat at different tilt angles, thus providing support for the rescue boat. The buffer bar 121 of the adjusting assembly 12 can support both sides of the bottom surface of the rescue boat.

[0028] Based on the above structural configuration, the support angle of the support bar 122 can be adjusted via the hinge 123 and multiple lifting members 124, which facilitates the buffer bar 121 fitting against the bottom surface of the rescue boat at different tilt angles, thus providing support for the rescue boat. The lengths of two adjacent support frames 1 can be adjusted via the first telescopic member 2 and the second telescopic member 3 to accommodate rescue boats of different lengths, thereby accommodating the storage of rescue boats of different specifications.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the support frame 1 further includes a support pad 13, which is mounted on the bottom bracket and located between the two sets of adjustment components 12. In use, the support pad 13 is used to support the keel of the lifeboat and prevent the lifeboat from directly contacting the ground and damaging the propeller blades.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the buffer strip 121 is a rubber strip, and the support strip 122 is a support flat iron. The buffer strip 121 and the support strip 122 are fixedly connected by a connector 125. Specifically, a countersunk hole is made in the buffer strip 121, a hole is drilled in the support strip 122, a lock nut is installed in the countersunk hole, and a bolt is threaded through the drilled hole and connected to the lock nut to achieve a fixed connection between the buffer strip 121 and the support strip 122.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the hinge 123 includes a first hinge seat 1231, a hinge pin 1232, and a second hinge seat 1233. The first hinge seat 1231 is mounted on the support bar 122, and the second hinge seat 1233 is mounted on the bottom bracket 11. The first hinge seat 1231 and the second hinge seat 1233 are connected by the hinge pin 1232. Specifically, the first hinge seat 1231 is welded to the support bar 122 or fixed by a connector. The second hinge seat 1233 is welded to the bottom bracket 11 or fixed by a connector. In this way, one end of the support bar 122 can rotate around the hinge pin 1232 of the hinge 123 to adjust the support angle of the support bar 122.

[0032] In some embodiments, the lifting element 124 is a hydraulic lifting rod, a pneumatic lifting rod, or an electric push rod. During installation, the hydraulic cylinder of the hydraulic lifting rod is mounted on the bottom bracket 11, and the piston rod of the hydraulic lifting rod is fixedly connected to the support bar 122 via a connector; the hydraulic cylinder of the pneumatic lifting rod is mounted on the bottom bracket 11, and the piston rod of the pneumatic lifting rod is fixedly connected to the support bar 122 via a connector; the motor of the electric push rod is mounted on the bottom bracket 11, and the push rod assembly of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the support bar 122. Thus, multiple lifting elements 124 can adjust the height of the support bar 122 at different positions, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the tilt angle of the support bar 122.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the lifting member 124 includes a first internally threaded tube 1241, a screw 1242, and a second internally threaded tube 1243. The first internally threaded tube 1241 is mounted on the support bar 122, and the second internally threaded tube 1243 is mounted on the bottom bracket 11. The upper and lower ends of the screw 1242 are threadedly connected to the first internally threaded tube 1241 and the second internally threaded tube 1243, respectively. The thread direction of the first internally threaded tube 1241 is opposite to that of the second internally threaded tube 1243. Specifically, the first internally threaded tube 1241 is fixedly connected to the support bar 122 via a pad, or the first internally threaded tube 1241 is hinged to the support bar 122 via a hinge. Thus, turning the screw 1242 causes the first internally threaded tube 1241 and the second internally threaded tube 1243 to move closer together or separate, thereby adjusting the height of the lifting member 124 and consequently adjusting the support angle of the support bar 122.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the lifting member 124 further includes an adjusting block 1244, which is fixed to the middle of the screw 1242 and located between the first internal threaded tube 1241 and the second internal threaded tube 1243. The adjusting block 1244 has a mounting hole 1245. Thus, by inserting a lever into the mounting hole 1245 and applying a thrust to the lever, the adjusting block 1244 can drive the screw 1242 to rotate.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the first telescopic member 2 includes a first sleeve 21, a first connecting rod 22, and a first limiting bolt 23. The first sleeve 21 is fixed to the bottom bracket 11 of a support frame 1. One end of the first connecting rod 22 is fixed to the bottom bracket 11 of another support frame 1, and the other end of the first connecting rod 22 is disposed in the first sleeve 21. The first limiting bolt 23 is threaded through the first sleeve 21 and abuts against the first connecting rod 22. Thus, loosening the first limiting bolt 23 allows the first connecting rod 22 to move within the first sleeve 21, thereby adjusting the length of the first telescopic member 2; tightening the first limiting bolt 23 stabilizes the position of the first connecting rod 22 within the first sleeve 21.

[0036] In some embodiments, the second telescopic member 3 includes a second sleeve 31, a second connecting rod 32, and a second limiting bolt 33. The second sleeve 31 is fixed to a lifting member 124 of a support frame 1. One end of the second connecting rod 32 is fixed to a lifting member 124 of another support frame 1, and the other end of the second connecting rod 32 is disposed in the second sleeve 31. The second limiting bolt 33 is threaded through the second sleeve 31 and abuts against the second connecting rod 32. Thus, loosening the second limiting bolt 33 allows the second connecting rod 32 to move within the second sleeve 31, thereby adjusting the length of the second telescopic member 3; tightening the second limiting bolt 33 stabilizes the position of the second connecting rod 32 within the second sleeve 31.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the two sets of adjustment components 12 are symmetrically distributed along the centerline of the bottom support 11. In this way, the buffer bars 121 of the two sets of adjustment components 12 support the bottom surface of the lifeboat, making the bottom surface of the lifeboat stable under force.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
