[0028] A method of using a beam support adjustment mechanism includes the following steps: Step S1: Connect the second support column 3500 and the second upper beam 2100, place the first connecting frame 3100 on the second support column 3500, set the fifth slider 3210 on the fifth slide rail 3510, move the second support column 3500 to the inside of the first support column 3400, and connect the second connecting rod 3530 to the second support columns 3500 on both sides respectively; Step S2: Set the first guide bar 3410 at the lower end of the first clearance opening 3620.
