A ruler is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, the base plate is U-shaped, and a U-shaped groove is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the front end of the base plate by bolts. One side of the tensioning block is fixedly connected to a shaft lock, and the tensioning block is movably connected to the U-shaped groove. The adjusting handle is fixedly installed on one side of the synchronous pulley, and the synchronous pulley is fixedly sleeved on the shaft. The end of the shaft deviates from the synchronous pulley and passes through the shaft lock and is movably connected in the shaft lock. The end of the shaft close to the shaft lock is fixedly sleeved in the bearing, and the bearing fixing seat is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base plate. There are two groups of bearing fixing seats, and the two groups of bearing fixing seats are respectively fixedly connected to the inner walls of the front and rear ends of the base plate. The number of bearing fixing seats in each group is four, and the four bearing fixing seats are respectively located at the four corners of the base plate. An M3 type synchronous pulley is fixedly sleeved on one end of the screw rod, and the number of the screw rods is four. The four screw rods are movably connected to the bearing fixing seats on the front and rear ends of the base plate respectively, and a copper nut is movably sleeved on the screw rod, and a pointer is fixedly installed on the copper nut. The fixed block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the copper nut, and the fixed block is fixedly connected to the slot plate at the end deviating from the copper nut, and the slot plate is movably connected to the screw rod through the fixed block. A belt is provided on the synchronous pulley, and the synchronous pulley is connected to the M3 type synchronous pulley through the belt. The above utility model can quickly adjust the width and is locked by a shaft lock. Although the above technical problems are solved, the shaft lock and the adjustment handle are arranged together, which makes the overall structure more complicated.
