By driving the auxiliary push rod, the cylindrical support 2 can be rotated around its axis, so that the cylindrical support 2 can be screwed in downward or upward in the support mounting hole, thereby adjusting the height of the top surface of the cylindrical support 2 and thus supporting the lower lead screw 8 to be supported at different installation heights.
[0027] The top surface of the cylindrical support 2 is adapted to the installation height of the lower lead screw 8 to be supported. The lower lead screw 8 to be supported is placed horizontally on the top surface of the cylindrical support 2. The lower lead screw stop 3 is vertically arranged on the top surface of the cylindrical support 2 and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the axis of the lower lead screw 8 to be supported. There are at least two lower lead screw stops 3, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the lower lead screw 8 to be supported, so as to limit the lower lead screw 8 to be supported in the horizontal direction and prevent the lower lead screw 8 to be supported from rolling horizontally.
[0028] The upper support mechanism is detachably mounted on the device base 1 and positioned above the top surface of the cylindrical support seat 2; wherein, the upper support mechanism is used to provide auxiliary support for the upper lead screw 9 to be supported; specifically, the upper support mechanism includes four support columns 4, four support sleeves 5 and an upper support platform 6.
[0029] Four support columns 4 are vertically arranged at the top of the device base 1 and evenly distributed around the upper end of the cylindrical support 2; four support sleeves 5 are also vertically arranged and correspondingly inserted into the top ends of the four support columns 4; wherein, the lower end of the support column 4 is fixedly connected to the top end of the device base 1, and the lower end of the support sleeve 5 is provided with a vertical mounting hole; the lower end of the vertical mounting hole is through the lower end face of the support sleeve 5, and the upper end of the vertical mounting hole extends along the axis of the support sleeve 5 and toward the upper end of the support sleeve 5; the upper end of the support column 4 is concentrically inserted into the vertical mounting hole, and the support column 4 and the vertical mounting hole are smoothly connected, realizing a detachable connection between the support column 4 and the support sleeve 5.

[0033] It should be noted that the top ends of the fixed sleeve 602 and the detachable sleeve 603 are located on the same horizontal plane and are flush with the bottom surface of the support plate 601, ensuring the levelness of the support plate 601 and thus ensuring the installation accuracy of the upper lead screw 9 to be supported, improving the accuracy of the test. Secondly, by contacting the top surface of the detachable sleeve 603 with the bottom surface of the support plate 601 and fixing the top end of the fixed sleeve 602 to the bottom surface of the support plate 601, the installation of the support plate 601 can be facilitated, and interference from the upper support mechanism when supporting the lower lead screw 8 to be supported can be avoided.
[0034] The upper lead screw stop 604 is vertically arranged on the top surface of the support plate 601 and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the axis of the upper lead screw 9 to be supported; wherein, there are at least two upper lead screw stops 604, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the upper lead screw 9 to be supported, so as to limit the upper lead screw 9 to be supported in the horizontal direction by means of the upper lead screw stops 604, and prevent the upper lead screw 9 to be supported from rolling horizontally.

[0037] Working principle:
[0038] When using the lead screw support device described in this utility model, two lead screw support devices are combined and placed at both ends of the lead screw to be supported, so as to achieve the function of jointly supporting the lead screw.
[0039] (1) For the process of supporting the lower lead screw:
[0040] First, the device base 1 is moved to a preset position using the casters 7. Then, the brake pedal on the casters 7 is pressed to lock the casters 7, thus fixing the device base 1 in the preset position. Next, the lower end of the cylindrical support 2 is fitted into the support mounting hole, and the auxiliary push rod is inserted into the auxiliary mounting hole to drive the cylindrical support 2 to rotate to a preset height. After that, the lower lead screw 8 to be supported is placed on the top surface of the cylindrical support 2 and positioned between the lower lead screw stops 3, and then the subsequent lead screw tightening operation begins.
[0041] (2) Regarding the process of supporting the upper lead screw:
[0042] Four support sleeves 5 are respectively inserted into four support columns 4; then, three detachable sleeves 603 are connected to three of the support columns 4 by threaded connection; next, the fixed sleeve 602 with support plate 601 is connected to the remaining support column 4 by thread, and the top of the three detachable sleeves 603 is in contact with the bottom surface of the support plate 601; finally, the four upper support sleeves 9 are placed on the top surface of the support platform 601 and placed between the upper screw stop blocks 604, and then the subsequent screw tightening operation begins.
[0043] In this invention, the cylindrical support 2 is connected to the device base 1 by a threaded connection, and the support sleeve 4 is connected to the fixed sleeve 602 or the detachable sleeve 603 by a threaded connection, so that the height of the screw support can be adjusted as needed. For easy movement, the device is equipped with casters with brake pedals, so that it can be easily operated when it needs to be moved. The design of the brake pedal ensures that the device can be stably stopped in the designated position when it needs to be fixed. The device has a simple structure and is easy to operate, realizing a simple, efficient and stable process of installing the screw in a narrow space, effectively improving the efficiency of indoor civil engineering tests and ensuring the reliability of test results.
[0044] In this invention, the use of a matching lead screw support device makes the lead screw installation process simpler and more efficient, greatly reducing the complexity of lead screw installation and improving work efficiency. The device has a simple structure and is suitable for lead screw support in limited spaces, making it easier and more convenient to install lead screws in narrow spaces. Secondly, by setting a cylindrical support base and an upper support mechanism, it is not only suitable for the installation of a single row of lead screws, but also considers the situation where two layers of lead screws may need to be installed. By introducing an upper support mechanism, which is detachably connected to the device base, and setting a threaded support structure in the upper support mechanism, it provides additional lead screw support while ensuring more flexible installation, meeting the needs of supporting lead screws at different installation heights, thus improving the applicability and practicality of the device.
[0045] The above embodiments are merely one of the implementation methods to achieve the technical solution of this utility model. The scope of protection claimed by this utility model is not limited to this embodiment, but also includes any variations, substitutions and other implementation methods that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model.
