[0030] Further, one end of the first telescopic pipe 3 is provided with a connecting pipe 31, one end of the connecting pipe 31 is fixed on the matched spring seat 1, the connecting pipe 31 and the outer wall of the first telescopic pipe 3 are jointly rotatably installed with the adjusting sleeve 6, the circular gear 32 is arranged between the first telescopic pipe 3 and the connecting pipe 31, and the circular gear 32 is meshingly connected with the tooth groove arranged on the inner wall of the adjusting sleeve 6, when the adjusting sleeve 6 is adjusted to rotate, the circular gear 32 and the adjusting screw 33 can be driven to rotate, thereby effectively improving the convenience of the adjusting screw 33 when being adjusted to rotate.

[0031] Secondly, the bottom end of the adjusting sleeve 6 is fixedly installed with a plurality of connecting blocks 61, one end of the connecting block 61 is inserted into and movably connected with the annular groove opened on the outer wall of the matched first telescopic pipe 3, so that the adjusting sleeve 6 can be stably rotatably installed on the first telescopic pipe 3, during the installation of the adjusting sleeve 6, the end of the connecting block 61 is first inserted into the annular groove, then the adjusting sleeve 6 is sleeved on the first telescopic pipe 3, and finally the part of the connecting block 61 in contact with the adjusting sleeve 6 is welded and fixed, thereby facilitating the installation of the adjusting sleeve 6; the outer wall of the connecting pipe 31 is fixedly installed with a limiting sleeve ring 311, after the installation of the adjusting sleeve 6 is completed, the limiting sleeve ring 311 is sleeved on the connecting pipe 31 and is welded and fixed on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 31, thereby limiting the adjusting sleeve 6 and improving the stability after installation.

[0032] Further, the top end and the bottom end of the circular gear 32 are fixedly installed with limiting circular seats 321, the limiting circular seat 321 arranged at the top end is inserted into and rotatably connected with the connecting pipe 31, and the limiting circular seat 321 arranged at the bottom end is inserted into and rotatably connected with the first telescopic pipe 3, after the connecting pipe 31 and the first telescopic pipe 3 limit the adjusting sleeve 6, the two ends of the circular gear 32 are limited by the connecting pipe 31 and the first telescopic pipe 3, thereby effectively improving the stability of the circular gear 32 after installation.

[0033] Secondly, the outer side wall of the limiting block 43 is opened with an adjusting slot 44, when it is necessary to stretch and adjust the compression spring 2, a tool (such as a spoon, a metal insertion rod, etc.) can be inserted into the adjusting slot 44, thereby temporarily fixing the limiting block 43, and after the stretch adjustment of the compression spring 2 is completed, the tool is pulled out, at this time, the connecting cylinder 41 can move in the second telescopic pipe 4, and after the compression spring 2 is subjected to pressure, it can normally compress and rebound, thereby avoiding hindering the compression and rebound of the compression spring 2.

[0034] It is worth mentioning that the spring seat 1 is provided with a clamping hole 13, and when the spring seat 1 is installed, the clamping hole 13 is butted on the clamping block of the equipment, so that the spring seat 1 is accurately positioned; the outer side wall of the spring seat 1 is provided with an assembly opening 11, which is communicated with the internal threaded hole 12 of the spring seat 1; the bolt is inserted into the internal threaded hole 12 from the assembly opening 11, and the nut at the end of the bolt is rotated by using a wrench, so that the end of the bolt is rotated into the assembly screw hole of the equipment, and the spring seat 1 is firmly connected with the equipment.

[0035] In the embodiment, the spring seat 1 is first fixedly installed on the equipment by using the bolt, so that the compression spring 2 is installed between two movable parts, and under the limiting of the telescopic structure composed of the first telescopic pipe 3 and the second telescopic pipe 4, the compression spring 2 can be prevented from being twisted and deformed; since the telescopic structure can be telescopically adjusted, when the compression spring 2 is subjected to pressure, the first telescopic pipe 3 is inserted into the second telescopic pipe 4, and when the compression spring 2 is in a completely compressed state, the first telescopic pipe 3 is completely inserted into the second telescopic pipe 4, so that the compression spring 2 is not hindered in the process of entering the compressed state.

[0036] After the compression spring 2 is installed for the first time, the connecting cylinder 41 can be arranged at the middle part of the second telescopic pipe 4, so as to reserve sufficient stretching distance for later stretching adjustment; when the compression spring 2 is used for a period of time, the pre-tightening force thereof is reduced, and in order to restore the pre-tightening force of the compression spring 2 to the initial state, the compression spring 2 needs to be stretched and adjusted; at this time, the instrument (such as a screwdriver, a metal insertion rod, etc.) is inserted into the adjusting slot 44, then the connecting cylinder 41 is fixed, the adjusting sleeve 6 is rotated and drives the adjusting screw 33 to rotate; since the adjusting screw 33 is threadedly connected with the connecting cylinder 41, and the connecting cylinder 41 is limited by the adjusting opening 5 and cannot rotate with the adjusting screw 33, the connecting cylinder 41 can move in the vertical direction along the inner wall of the second telescopic pipe 4; when the connecting cylinder 41 moves to the side of the first telescopic pipe 3, the adjusting screw 33 and the first telescopic pipe 3 are pushed to move away from the second telescopic pipe 4, so that the compression spring 2 is stretched and adjusted; in the whole stretching adjustment process, only the compression spring 2 is slightly adjusted, so that the pre-tightening force thereof can be restored, and the structure stability of the compression spring 2 is not affected by excessive stretching; compared with the traditional spring pre-tightening force adjustment, the compression spring 2 in the present application can be adjusted without being disassembled, and for the spring parts that need to be frequently maintained, the problem of increased operation difficulty caused by frequent disassembly and assembly is solved, and the convenience of maintaining the compression spring 2 is effectively improved.

[0037] The above specific embodiments are only several optional embodiments of the present application, and based on the technical scheme of the present application and the related enlightenment of the above embodiments, the person skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations on the above specific embodiments.
