Thus, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the utility model, the meaning of "several" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0023] See also Figures 1 to 5 Now, the furniture support structure provided by the utility model is described. The furniture support structure includes a connecting plate 10, a mounting sleeve 20, a plurality of supporting columns 30 and a foot 50. The connecting plate 10 is used to be connected to the bottom of the furniture; the mounting sleeve 20 is connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 10 and extends downward; a plurality of supporting columns 30 are arranged below the mounting sleeve 20 and are sequentially connected by locking members 40 in the up-down direction. The lower end of the supporting column 30 is provided with a positioning groove 32, and the upper end is provided with a positioning column 31 for plugging and matching with the positioning groove 32. The positioning column 31 of the upper supporting column 30 is threadedly connected to the mounting sleeve 20; the foot 50 is plugged into the positioning groove 32 of the lower supporting column 30.

[0024] It should be noted that the outer peripheral wall of the positioning column 31 connected to the installation sleeve 20 is provided with an external thread, and the outer peripheral walls of other positioning columns 31 are all smooth curved surfaces.

[0025] The embodiment of the present application provides a furniture support structure. In its actual use, the connecting plate 10 is first connected to the bottom of the furniture through a connecting piece, and then the positioning column 31 of one of the supporting columns 30 is threadedly connected to the mounting sleeve 20, and finally the remaining supporting columns 30 are connected in sequence. Among two adjacent supporting columns 30, the positioning column 31 of one supporting column 30 is plugged into the positioning groove 32 of the other supporting column 30, and connected through a locking piece 40, and the grounding foot 50 is inserted into the positioning groove 32 of the supporting column 30 located at the bottom. When the height of the furniture needs to be adjusted, the height of the furniture can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of supporting columns 30, which meets the needs of consumers and improves the consumer experience.

[0026] The user can perform corresponding installation according to the number of furniture supporting structures actually required by the furniture.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the furniture support structure provided in this embodiment can adjust the height of the furniture by increasing or decreasing the number of support columns 30 when the height of the furniture needs to be adjusted, thereby meeting the needs of consumers and improving the consumer experience.

[0028] In a possible implementation, the support column 30 is Figures 1 to 5 The structure shown, see Figures 1 to 5 Two operating grooves 33 are symmetrically provided on the lower outer wall of the support column 30, and a first locking hole 34 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the operating groove 33, which radially penetrates the support column 30 and is connected to the positioning groove 32. A second locking hole 35 is radially penetrated on the positioning column 31, and the locking piece 40 is located in the first locking hole 34 and the second locking hole 35.

[0029] Specifically, the two ends of the first locking hole 34 are respectively connected to the two operating grooves 33. By aligning the first locking hole 34 and the second locking hole 35, and then inserting the locking piece 40 into the first locking hole 34 and the second locking hole 35, and locking the relative positions of the two adjacent support columns 30, the disassembly and installation between the support columns 30 are achieved.

[0030] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 5 The locking piece 40 includes a locking cap 41 and a locking rod 44. The locking cap 41 is inserted into the first locking hole 34 and the second locking hole 35. One end of the locking cap 41 has an axially extending threaded groove 42, and the other end is connected to a first abutting block 43 for abutting and cooperating with the bottom wall of the operating groove 33; the locking rod 44 is threadedly connected in the threaded groove 42, and the outer end of the locking rod 44 is connected to a second abutting block 45 for abutting and cooperating with the bottom wall of the operating groove 33.

[0031] Specifically, the first abutment block 43 and the second abutment block 45 are respectively used to abut against the bottom walls of the two operating grooves 33, thereby preventing the axial movement of the locking member 40 and the axial movement of the two adjacent support columns 30. When disassembling the support column 30, the locking cap 41 and the locking rod 44 only need to be rotated in the opposite direction to separate the locking cap 41 and the locking rod 44, so that the two adjacent support columns 30 can be disassembled.

[0032] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 An elastic member 60 extending toward the opening side of the thread groove 42 is connected to the bottom wall of the thread groove 42 , and the extended end of the elastic member 60 is used to abut and cooperate with the inner end of the locking rod 44 .

[0033] Specifically, during the process of rotation and locking of the locking cap 41 and the locking rod 44 , the elastic member 60 gradually presses against the inner end of the locking rod 44 , so that the locking cap 41 and the locking rod 44 are stably connected, thereby avoiding loosening due to external vibration.

[0034] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 The elastic member 60 is extended and connected with a gasket 70 , and the gasket 70 is slidably connected with the thread groove 42 along the axial direction of the thread groove 42 . The elastic member 60 can elastically push the gasket 70 to abut against the inner end of the locking rod 44 .

[0035] Specifically, the setting of the gasket 70 can effectively protect the elastic member 60, and prevent the locking rod 44 from directly contacting the elastic member 60 and damaging the elastic member 60 during the process of rotating and locking the locking cap 41 and the locking rod 44. When the locking rod 44 is screwed in, the inner end of the locking rod 44 abuts against the gasket 70 and gradually compresses the elastic member 60, so that the locking rod 44 is stably connected to the locking cap 41 under the pressing force of the elastic member 60, thereby preventing the locking rod 44 from loosening due to external vibration.

[0036] In a possible implementation, the positioning groove 32 is as follows: Figures 1 to 4 The structure shown, see Figures 1 to 4 A magnet 80 for adsorbing the positioning column 31 or the foot 50 is provided on the bottom wall of the positioning groove 32 .

[0037] Specifically, after the positioning column 31 is inserted into the positioning groove 32, the magnet 80 adsorbs the positioning column 31 to achieve pre-fixation between two adjacent support columns 30, without the need to manually hold the lower support column 30, making it convenient for the locking piece 40 to lock the two support columns 30, thereby improving installation efficiency.

[0038] Furthermore, the top of the foot 50 is provided with a plug-in column extending upward and plugging into the positioning groove 32 of the lowest support column 30. The plug-in column is adsorbed by the magnet 80 so that the plug-in column is stably connected to the lowest support column 30, which not only avoids the foot 50 from falling during the process of moving furniture, but also facilitates the replacement of the foot 50.

[0039] Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of ​​the foot 50 gradually decreases from bottom to top, thereby increasing the stability of the support.

[0040] In a possible implementation, the connecting plate 10 is configured as follows: Figures 1 to 3 The structure shown, see Figures 1 to 3 The connecting plate 10 is penetrated by a long hole 11 .

[0041] Specifically, the provision of the long hole 11 facilitates the adjustment of the connecting piece to a suitable position along the length direction of the long hole 11, and then connects the connecting plate 10 and the furniture, thereby improving practicality.

[0042] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
