[0023] A groove 700 is provided on the vertical plate 100 located between the two horizontal plates 200. A slider 800 is slidably installed in each groove 700. The groove 700 and the slider 800 are in transition fit. The purpose of this is to ensure that the slider 800 can move along the groove 700 under the action of external force, and remains stationary when no external force is applied. The upper part of each slider 800 is fixed together with the lower part of the horizontal plate 200 located on the same vertical line. This utility model can achieve the positioning and guidance of the horizontal plate 200 through the cooperation of the groove 700 and the slider 800. Under the connection of the slider 800, the horizontal plate 200 is slid along the groove 700, which makes it convenient and quick to adjust the length of the wooden pallet, making the operation more convenient.

[0024] According to another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the extension plate 400 and the slide bar 800, both located on the same vertical line, are fixed together with the upper part of the connecting handle 600.

The anti-slip sleeve increases friction and prevents the operator's hand from slipping or getting injured when holding the handle and pulling, making the operation safer.

[0027] How to use this utility model:

[0028] First, it needs to be clarified that the pallet involved in this utility model is mainly used for supporting and placing objects of various sizes. Taking a wooden pallet as an example, this utility model will explain its usage in detail, focusing on the length adjustment mechanism. When it is necessary to adjust the length of the wooden pallet at a certain position, the operator only needs to grasp the connecting handle 600 at the corresponding position and pull it outwards. The connecting handle 600 pulls the extension plate 400, the slide bar 800, and the support plate 500 outwards along the slide groove 700 to the appropriate position. Then, the effective support length of the wooden pallet can be conveniently and quickly adjusted. This utility model utilizes the connection between the connecting handle 600 and the support plate 500, the extension plate 400, and the slide bar 800. Pulling the connecting handle 600 allows for simultaneous adjustment of the positions of the support plate 500 and the extension plate 400. This not only enables convenient and quick adjustment of the effective length of the pallet, but also allows the support plate 500 to be pulled out while working with the connecting wrench and the vertical plate 100 to provide firm support for the extension plate 400. This greatly increases the support performance of the extended part of the wooden pallet, solving the problem that traditional wooden pallets cannot be adjusted in size. When the item to be placed is too large, the wooden pallet cannot accommodate it, requiring the use of a large wooden pallet. However, when placing small items, the large wooden pallet takes up too much space. This greatly enhances the portability of the wooden pallet.

[0029] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
