The internal structure of first adjusting block 2 is fine, and the movable groove is symmetrically provided, and the inner wall of movable groove is finely processed to ensure that internal components can run smoothly. In the inside of each movable groove, limit spring 15 is firmly fixedly connected, limit spring 15 is made of high-quality spring steel, has good elasticity and durability. The other end of limit spring 15 is fixedly connected with locking block 16, and one side of locking block 16 is designed into the shape of tightly abutting with first adjusting block 2, when first adjusting block 2 is at specific position, locking block 16 can stably lock first adjusting block 2 in corresponding position under the elastic force of limit spring 15, prevents accidental sliding or displacement.

[0024] Similarly, second adjusting block 4 is movably sleeved on second limit block 14. The structure of second adjusting block 4 is similar to first adjusting block 2, has the same function and characteristics, and the movable groove is also symmetrically provided in its inside, and limit spring 15 and locking block 16 are installed in movable groove, through the cooperation with second limit block 14, realize accurate adjustment and stable locking of own position.

[0025] The first extension plate 3 is fixedly connected to the first adjusting block 2 in symmetry, and the first extension plate 3 and the first adjusting block 2 are designed in an integrated manner to ensure the connection strength and stability. On the two first extension plates 3, first moving grooves 10 are accurately formed, and the size and shape of the first moving grooves 10 are carefully designed to meet the installation and movement requirements of subsequent components. The second extension plate 5 is fixedly connected to the second adjusting block 4 in symmetry, and the second extension plate 5 and the second adjusting block 4 are also an integrated structure with good mechanical properties. The first limiting rod 11 is fixedly connected to the second extension plate 5 and the first extension plate 3, respectively, and the position and length of the first limiting rod 11 are accurately calculated. The material of the first limiting rod 11 has high strength and rigidity and can withstand certain external forces without deformation.

[0026] The plurality of auxiliary corner columns 6 play an important role in auxiliary support and connection in the entire structure. The third adjusting block 7 is movably sleeved on each auxiliary corner column 6, and the third adjusting block 7 can freely slide on the auxiliary corner column 6 to adapt to different connection and adjustment requirements. The third extension plate 8 is fixedly connected to the two sides of the third adjusting block 7 in symmetry, and the third extension plate 8 is closely connected to the third adjusting block 7 to ensure the integrity of the structure. The second moving groove 17 is carefully formed on the third extension plate 8, and the design of the second moving groove 17 cooperates with the first moving groove 10. The first limiting rod 11 can be accurately movably sleeved in the second moving groove 17 to realize accurate linkage and position adjustment between the first adjusting block 2, the second adjusting block 4, and the third adjusting block 7. At the same time, the second limiting rod 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the third extension plate 8, and the length and diameter of the second limiting rod 9 are matched with the first moving groove 10, which can be smoothly movably sleeved in the first moving groove 10, further enhancing the connection stability and movement coordination between the components.

[0027] The bottom of the main corner column 1 and the plurality of auxiliary corner columns 6 is provided with a threaded hole, and the thread specification of the threaded hole is uniform and accurate to ensure the installation accuracy of subsequent components. The support leg 12 is threadedly sleeved in each threaded hole, and the cross-section of the support leg 12 is designed as a cone. This shape design has unique advantages. The tip of the cone can easily find a stable support point on uneven ground, and the larger bottom area provides sufficient support stability to ensure that the entire square frame structure can remain stable when placed and will not tilt or shake due to uneven ground or slight external force. The material of the support leg 12 has good wear resistance and pressure resistance, which can adapt to different ground environments and use conditions to provide reliable bottom support for the entire structure. Through the precise design and cooperation of the above components, the four-section connection structure of the rotating folding square frame can realize efficient, stable connection and flexible rotating folding function, meeting various practical application requirements.

[0028] Working principle: In the initial state, the first adjusting block 2 and the second adjusting block 4 are in the retracted position, and the locking block 16 is clamped in the corresponding position under the action of the limiting spring 15, limiting the movement of the adjusting block. When the square frame structure needs to be unfolded, manually pull the first adjusting block 2 and the second adjusting block 4 outward, overcome the elastic force of the limiting spring 15, and make the locking block 16 retract into the active slot. At this time, the first adjusting block 2 and the second adjusting block 4 can slide outward along the first limiting block 13 and the second limiting block 14.

[0029] With the movement of the first adjusting block 2 and the second adjusting block 4, the first limiting rod 11 fixed on the first extension plate 3 and the second extension plate 5 also moves. The first limiting rod 11 slides in the second moving slot 17 of the third adjusting block 7, driving the third adjusting block 7 to move upward on the auxiliary corner column 6. At the same time, the second limiting rod 9 on the third extension plate 8 slides in the first moving slot 10, further ensuring the linkage and position coordination between the components.

[0030] When the first adjusting block 2 and the second adjusting block 4 move to the appropriate unfolded position, the locking block 16 is again ejected under the elastic force of the limiting spring 15, locking the first adjusting block 2 and the second adjusting block 4 in the unfolded position. At this time, the entire square frame structure is unfolded, and the components cooperate with each other to form a stable square frame shape, which can be used for support, display and other functions.

[0031] Folding process

[0032] When the square frame structure needs to be folded, manually press the locking block 16 to make it retract into the active slot against the elastic force of the limiting spring 15, and release the locking of the first adjusting block 2 and the second adjusting block 4. Then, push the first adjusting block 2 and the second adjusting block 4 to slide inward along the first limiting block 13 and the second limiting block 14.

[0033] The inward movement of the first adjusting block 2 and the second adjusting block 4 drives the first limiting rod 11 to slide reversely in the second moving slot 17, so that the third adjusting block 7 moves downward on the auxiliary corner column 6. The second limiting rod 9 also reversely slides in the first moving slot 10, and the components move cooperatively to gradually fold the square frame structure.

[0034] Continue to push the first adjusting block 2 and the second adjusting block 4 until the completely folded position is reached, at which time the entire structure is compact, facilitating storage, transportation or storage.

[0035] Adjusting effect of supporting legs

[0036] The support feet 12 at the bottom of the main corner column 1 and the auxiliary corner column 6 are connected by threads, and the height can be adjusted according to the actual use requirements. When the square frame structure needs to be placed on uneven ground, the support feet 12 are rotated to rise or fall in the threaded holes, and are adjusted to the appropriate height, so that the tip of the cone can stably contact the ground, a stable support point is found by using the shape characteristics of the cone, the whole square frame structure is kept horizontal and stable, the structure is prevented from tilting or shaking due to uneven ground, and the normal use and safety of the structure are ensured.

[0037] The above only describes some exemplary embodiments of the present application by way of illustration, without doubt, for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application.
