[0002] In today's rapidly developing society, with the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous improvement of infrastructure, urban transportation has become increasingly convenient. Highway networks crisscross the country, rail transportation is efficient and fast, and air routes connect the world. Transactions between various industries are no longer confined to a narrow region but are rapidly expanding to every corner of the country and even to the vast globe.

[0003] Against this backdrop, demand for cargo loading and transportation has seen explosive growth. Whether it's industrial raw materials, electronic products, or everyday consumer goods, all require frequent transportation between regions. However, existing methods of loading and transporting cargo present numerous problems. For one thing, traditional loading methods often rely on a large amount of manpower for handling and stacking, which is not only inefficient but also prone to human error, resulting in damage or improper placement of cargo. Furthermore, during transportation, due to the lack of effective support and securing systems, cargo is prone to shaking, sliding, or even tipping over. This not only damages the cargo itself, but also increases transportation risks and can even cause traffic accidents. Furthermore, existing loading and transport methods consume significant manpower and material resources, including labor costs, packaging material costs, and transportation equipment maintenance costs, placing a heavy burden on businesses and society. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model provides an adjustable supporting structure with a locking mechanism, which solves the problems of low efficiency, difficulty in adjustment, and risks to cargo safety and transportation of traditional loading methods.

[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows: an adjustable support structure with a locking mechanism, comprising:

[0006] A slide rail having a plurality of locking slots arranged at intervals;

[0007] There are at least two support members, both of which are movably arranged on the slide rail. After moving, the support members move closer to or farther away from each other to support goods of different lengths;

[0008] A card member is movably arranged on the support member, and after the card member moves, it is plugged into or unplugged from the lock slot.

[0009] Optionally, it also includes:

[0010] A pull rod, the pull rod being movably arranged on the support member, and the pull rod moves toward or away from the clamping member;

[0011] A connecting piece, one end of which is rotatably arranged on the pull rod, and the other end is arranged on the clamping piece, and the connecting piece is a flexible piece.

[0012] Optionally, the support member has an adjustment groove, the adjustment groove has a first section and a second section that are connected to each other, the second section and the first section have an angle, and the angle is ≤90°, the pull rod is movable and set in the adjustment groove, and after moving, passes through the first section and the second section in sequence.

[0013] Optionally, the distance between one end of the first section close to the lock slot and one end of the second section close to the lock slot is greater than the length of the clamp extending into the lock slot when the pull rod is located at the end of the first section away from the second section.

[0014] Optionally, the first segment is configured as an inclined segment, the second segment is configured as a vertical segment, and an end of the first segment close to the second segment is higher than an end of the first segment away from the second segment.

[0015] Optionally, the pull rod is cylindrical, and the lower portion of the second section has an arc-shaped groove, and the diameter of the arc-shaped groove is greater than or equal to the diameter of the pull rod.

[0020] Optionally, the support member has a support portion, and the support portion is arc-shaped.

[0021] The working principle and beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0022] In the present invention, a plurality of locking slots are spaced apart on the slide rail, providing multiple positioning options for securing the support member. There are at least two support members that can move freely on the slide rail, moving them closer or further apart to accommodate cargo of varying lengths. To secure the support member, a clip mounted on the support member is moved to engage with the locking slot on the slide rail. This secures the support member to the slide rail, providing stable support for the cargo. To adjust the support member's position, the clip is moved again to disengage it from the locking slot, allowing the support member to be moved again on the slide rail to meet different support requirements. Traditional cargo support technologies typically use fixed-size support structures that lack the flexibility to accommodate cargo of varying lengths. Adjusting the support structure often requires complex tools and cumbersome procedures, resulting in low efficiency. In this solution, at least two movable support members can be flexibly adjusted according to cargo length, accommodating cargo of varying sizes and significantly improving the system's versatility. The clips are easy to move on the support member, allowing for quick engagement and disengagement with the locking slot, making it convenient for users to adjust the support member's position and improving work efficiency. When the card is plugged into the lock slot, the support is firmly fixed on the slide rail, providing stable and reliable support for the goods and reducing the risk of damage to the goods during transportation.

For example, they can refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediary; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] In addition, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 5 An adjustable support structure with a locking mechanism is proposed, including: a slide rail 1, the slide rail 1 has a plurality of locking slots 101 arranged at intervals; a support member 2, the support member 2 has at least two, both of which are movably set on the slide rail 1, and the support members 2 move closer to or away from each other after movement, so as to support goods of different lengths; a clamping member 3, the clamping member 3 is movably set on the support member 2, and after movement, the clamping member 3 is plugged into or unplugged from the locking slot 101.

[0035] In this embodiment, a plurality of locking slots 101 are arranged at intervals on the slide rail 1, providing multiple position options for fixing the support member 2. There are at least two support members 2, which can move freely on the slide rail 1 and adapt to cargo of different lengths by moving closer or further away from each other. When the position of the support member 2 needs to be fixed, the clamping member 3 set on the support member 2 is moved so that it plugs into the locking slot 101 on the slide rail 1. At this time, the support member 2 is firmly fixed to the slide rail 1, providing stable support for the cargo. When the position of the support member 2 needs to be adjusted, the clamping member 3 is moved again to cancel the plugging with the locking slot 101, and the support member 2 can be moved again on the slide rail 1 to meet different support requirements. Traditional cargo support technology usually uses a fixed-size support structure that cannot flexibly adapt to cargo of different lengths. Adjusting the support structure often requires complex tools and cumbersome operating procedures, which is inefficient. In this solution, at least two movable support members 2 can flexibly adjust their position according to the length of the cargo, adapting to cargo of different sizes, greatly improving the versatility of the system. The clamp 3 is easy to move on the support member 2, allowing for quick insertion or removal of the clamp 3 from the lock slot 101, making it easy for the user to adjust the position of the support member 2 and improving work efficiency. When the clamp 3 is inserted into the lock slot 101, the support member 2 is firmly fixed to the slide rail 1, providing stable and reliable support for the cargo and reducing the risk of damage to the cargo during transportation.

[0036] Furthermore, it also includes: a pull rod 4, which is movably set on the support member 2, and the pull rod 4 moves closer to or away from the clamping member 3; a connecting member 5, one end of the connecting member 5 is rotatably set on the pull rod 4, and the other end is set on the clamping member 3, and the connecting member 5 is a flexible member.

[0037] In this embodiment, the pull rod 4 is movable on the support member 2. One end of the connector 5 is pivotally connected to the pull rod 4, and the other end is fixedly connected to the clamp 3 via a fastener such as a bolt. Preferably, in this embodiment, the connector 5 is made of a metal sheet with a certain degree of elastic deformation. When the pull rod 4 moves, the metal sheet bends accordingly, compensating for the height displacement. To release the fixed state of the support member 2, the operator pulls the pull rod 4, and the movement of the pull rod 4 causes the connector 5 to move. Because the connector 5 is pivotally connected to the clamp 3, its movement further drives the clamp 3 to disengage from the locking slot 101 on the slide rail 1. At this point, the support member 2 can freely move on the slide rail 1 to adjust its position to accommodate cargo of varying lengths. Conventional methods may require the use of complex tools or multiple steps to release the support member 2. In this embodiment, the operator simply pulls the pull rod 4 to release the clamp 3 from the locking slot 101, making the operation simple and quick, greatly improving work efficiency. Traditional technologies can have complex fixing and unlocking mechanisms that can be prone to failure. This solution, through the clever connection of the pull rod 4, connector 5, and latch 3, achieves a simple and effective fixing and unlocking mechanism, reducing the system's failure rate. Traditional technologies can make it difficult to quickly adjust the support member 2 to accommodate cargo of varying lengths. This solution allows for the rapid removal of the support member 2 when needed, allowing it to be moved to accommodate cargo of varying lengths, improving the system's versatility and adaptability.

[0038] Furthermore, the support member 2 has an adjustment groove 201, the adjustment groove 201 has a first section 202 and a second section 203 that are connected to each other, there is an angle between the second section 203 and the first section 202, and the angle is ≤90°, the pull rod 4 is movably set in the adjustment groove 201, and after moving, it passes through the first section 202 and the second section 203 in sequence.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the support member 2 needs to be fixed, the operator pulls the pull rod 4, causing it to move within the adjustment slot 201, passing through the second section 203 and into the first section 202, allowing the clamping member 3 to engage with the locking slot 101, thereby securing the support member 2 to the slide rail 1. When the fixation needs to be canceled, the operator passes through the first section 202 and into the second section 203, allowing the clamping member 3 to disengage from the locking slot 101. Because the angle between the second section 203 and the first section 202 is less than or equal to 90 degrees, when the pull rod 4 is stuck in the second section 203, it is not easy to disengage from the first section 202. This greatly improves the stability of the support member 2 in the fixed state, ensures that the support member 2 will not move accidentally during cargo transportation, and reduces the risk of cargo damage. Conventional technology can be prone to misoperation or instability during operation. The adjustment slot 201 structure of this solution makes operation more reliable, allowing the operator to more accurately control the position of the pull rod 4, ensuring that the support member 2 is firmly fixed when required and can be smoothly unlocked and moved when adjustment is required.

[0040] Furthermore, the distance between one end of the first section 202 close to the lock slot 101 and one end of the second section 203 close to the lock slot 101 is greater than the length of the clamp 3 extending into the lock slot 101 when the pull rod 4 is located at the end of the first section 202 away from the second section 203 .

[0041] In this embodiment, when the pull rod 4 is located at the end of the first section 202 near the lock slot 101, the clamping member 3 can be ensured to be engaged with the lock slot 101, thereby securing the support member 2. At this time, the length of the clamping member 3 extending into the lock slot 101 is sufficient to stably secure the support member 2 to the slide rail 1. When the fixation needs to be canceled, the operator pulls the pull rod 4 to move it from the first section 202 to the second section 203. Due to the distance design between the end of the first section 202 near the lock slot 101 and the end of the second section 203 near the lock slot 101, when the pull rod 4 is located at the end of the second section 203 near the lock slot 101, the clamping member 3 can be completely removed from the lock slot 101, ensuring that the support member 2 can move freely on the slide rail 1 for adjustment. At the same time, this design avoids the problem of the clamping member 3 partially re-entering the lock slot 101 as the pull rod 4 moves along the second section 203 after entering the second section 203. The clear operating status and reliable fixing and unlocking mechanism enable operators to make adjustments and fixations more quickly, improving the efficiency of cargo loading and transportation.

[0042] Furthermore, the first section 202 is constructed as an inclined section, the second section 203 is constructed as a vertical section, and an end of the first section 202 close to the second section 203 is higher than an end of the first section 202 away from the second section 203 .

[0043] In this embodiment, the adjustment slot 201 of the support member 2 is composed of a first section 202 and a second section 203. When the pull rod 4 moves in the first section 202, due to the inclined structure of the first section 202, the pull rod 4 is in an inclined rising state. When the pull rod 4 enters the second section 203 from the first section 202, it will go through a process from inclined rising to vertical falling. The vertically arranged second section 203 provides a stable storage position for the pull rod 4. When the pull rod 4 is located at the lower part of the second section 203, it is blocked by both sides of the second section 203 and is not easy to separate from the second section 203. At the same time, the vertically arranged second section 203 makes it more convenient for workers to operate and simplifies the difficulty of operation. The inclined first section 202 and the vertical second section 203 cooperate with each other to provide the pull rod 4 with a clear moving path and a stable storage position, greatly improving the stability and reliability of the system.

[0044] Furthermore, the pull rod 4 is cylindrical, and the lower portion of the second section 203 has an arcuate groove 204 , and the diameter of the arcuate groove 204 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the pull rod 4 .

[0045] In this embodiment, when the tie rod 4 moves to the lower portion of the second section 203, the cylindrical tie rod 4 can be precisely inserted into the arcuate groove 204. This design provides the tie rod 4 with a stable position at the lower portion of the second section 203. The arcuate groove 204 can better accommodate and secure the tie rod 4, preventing it from accidentally moving without human intervention. This ensures that the connection and disconnection between the clip 3 and the locking groove 101 are accurate, thereby improving the reliability of the entire cargo support system.

[0046] Furthermore, the diameter of the arc groove 204 is larger than the diameter of the pull rod 4 , and the upper portion of the arc groove 204 has a through opening 205 , the size of the through opening 205 is equal to or larger than the diameter of the pull rod 4 and smaller than the diameter of the arc groove 204 .

[0047] In this embodiment, the diameter of the arcuate groove 204 is larger than the diameter of the tie rod 4, providing a certain amount of space for the tie rod 4 to move. A through-hole 205 is provided at the top of the arcuate groove 204. The size of the through-hole 205 is equal to or larger than the diameter of the tie rod 4, allowing the tie rod 4 to smoothly enter and exit the arcuate groove 204 through the through-hole 205 under the active operation of the operator. At the same time, the size of the through-hole 205 is smaller than the diameter of the arcuate groove 204. This design ensures that when the tie rod 4 is within the arcuate groove 204, the smaller through-hole 205 effectively prevents the tie rod 4 from accidentally falling out, thereby improving the stability of the system. When the tie rod 4 needs to be moved into the arcuate groove 204, the operator pulls or pushes the tie rod 4 to align it with the through-hole 205 and smoothly pass through the through-hole 205 into the arcuate groove 204. When the tie rod 4 needs to be moved out of the arcuate groove 204, the tie rod 4 is similarly operated to move it out of the arcuate groove 204 through the through-hole 205. This solution ensures that the rod 4 is not too difficult to enter and move out of the arc groove 204 by reasonably setting the sizes of the arc groove 204 and the opening 205, thereby improving the convenience of operation, and effectively preventing the rod 4 from accidentally falling out, thereby enhancing the stability of the system.

[0048] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0049] The elastic member 6 has one end disposed on the supporting member 2 and the other end disposed on the clamping member 3 , and is used to provide elastic force for the clamping member 3 to move and engage with the locking slot 101 .

[0050] In this embodiment, when the support member 2 needs to be secured to the slide rail 1, the clamping member 3 moves toward the locking slot 101 under the elastic force of the elastic member 6 and engages with the locking slot 101. The elastic member 6 continuously provides elastic force, ensuring a secure connection between the clamping member 3 and the locking slot 101, thereby achieving stable fixation of the support member 2 to the slide rail 1. When the support member 2 needs to be released from the securement, the operator pulls the pull rod 4, which in turn moves the connecting member 5, allowing the clamping member 3 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 6 and disengage from the locking slot 101.

[0051] Furthermore, the clamping member 3 has a clamping portion 301 , and the clamping portion 301 is arc-shaped.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the arc-shaped engaging portion 301 engages with the locking slot 101 , it can slide into the locking slot 101 more smoothly, reducing jamming and resistance, which makes the operation more convenient and improves work efficiency.

[0053] Furthermore, the support member 2 has a support portion 206 , and the support portion 206 is arc-shaped.

[0054] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped support portion 206 can better adapt to the shape of the cargo, increase the contact area with the cargo, and improve the support stability.

[0055] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all of these should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
