[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an adjustable rigid stabilizer, comprising a main square column 1, a sleeve 2, a stabilizing rod 3, a stabilizing hole 4, a locking bolt 5, a locking nut 6, a track window 7, a clamping plate 8, a collar 9, a positioning plate 10, a guide groove 11, a mounting hole 12, a fastening bolt 13, a fastening nut 14, and a limiting groove 15. A sleeve 2 is installed at the end of the main square column 1, and a stabilizing rod 3 is fixedly installed at the inner end of the sleeve 2. The stabilizing rod 3 fits against the inner wall of the stabilizing hole 4. A locking bolt 5 is fixed to one side of the end of the main square column 1, and a locking screw is installed at the end of the locking bolt 5. The locking bolt 5 passes through the track window 7, which is located on the outside of the sleeve 2. The end of the sleeve 2 is fixed with a retaining plate 8. The inner side of the retaining plate 8 is in contact with the outer side of the collar 9. The bottom of the inner wall of the retaining plate 8 is fixed with a positioning plate 10, which is in contact with the inner wall of the guide groove 11. The guide groove 11 is located at the bottom of the collar 9. The top of the retaining plate 8 is provided with an installation hole 12, in which a fastening bolt 13 is installed. The top of the fastening bolt 13 is provided with a fastening nut 14, and the bottom of the fastening bolt 13 is in contact with the inner wall of the limiting groove 15. The limiting groove 15 is located at the edge of the top surface of the collar 9.
[0021] In this example, the sleeve 2 is symmetrically distributed about the center of the main square column 1. The center of the main square column 1, the center of the sleeve 2, and the center of the clamping plate 8 are on the same vertical line. The above structural design makes the overall structure of the main square column 1, sleeve 2, and clamping plate 8 stable, ensuring that the overall structural strength of the device is high.
[0022] The stabilizer bar 3 and the stabilizer hole 4 are slidably connected. The length of the stabilizer bar 3 is greater than 3 / 4 of the length of the sleeve 2. The above structural design allows the stabilizer bar 3 to slide relative to the stabilizer hole 4 and to limit and stabilize the sleeve 2 and the main square column 1.
[0023] The locking bolt 5 is slidably connected to the track window 7. The center of the locking bolt 5 and the center of the main square column 1 are on the same vertical plane. The above structural design enables the sleeve 2 to slide relative to the locking bolt 5 with the track window 7, and stably adjusts the overall length of the rod-shaped structure composed of the main square column 1 and the sleeve 2.
[0024] The side view cross-sectional shape of the clamping plate 8 is a "匚" shape, and the clamping plates 8 are equally angularly distributed about the center of the collar 9. The above structural design enables the clamping plate 8 to fit stably with the collar 9, ensuring the strength of the overall structure.
[0025] The centers of the positioning plate 10, the guiding groove 11, the mounting hole 12, the fastening bolt 13 and the limiting groove 15 are on the same vertical plane. The width of the positioning plate 10 is greater than half of the width of the clamping plate 8. The front view cross-sectional shape of the limiting groove 15 is a "丄" shape. The above structural design facilitates the disassembly and installation of the clamping plate 8 and the collar 9, and limits the clamping plate 8 and the collar 9 to prevent the clamping plate 8 from tilting.
[0026] Working principle: When in use, according to the size of the sleeve or pipeline, select a collar 9 of a suitable size. Align the positioning plate 10 at the inner bottom of the clamping plate 8 with the open end of the guiding groove 11, and align the bottom end of the fastening bolt 13 with the open end of the limiting groove 15. Horizontally push the clamping plate 8 to clamp on the collar 9. The positioning plate 10 slides into the guiding groove 11, and the bottom end of the fastening bolt 13 slides into the limiting groove 15. Rotate the fastening nut 14 to squeeze the clamping plate 8 and the collar 9 to fit and fix.
[0027] Subsequently, pull the clamping plate 8 and the sleeve 2 away from the center of the main square column 1. The sleeve 2 slides along the main square column 1. The sleeve 2 slides relative to the locking bolt 5 with the track window 7. At the same time, the stabilizing rod 3 slides out of the stabilizing hole 4 until the overall length is sufficient. Rotate the locking nut 6 to squeeze the sleeve 2 and the main square column 1 to fix, and then the whole device can be sleeved outside the sleeve or pipeline for扶正 (the specific meaning of this Chinese word needs to be determined according to the context, it may be something like straightening or aligning). This is the working principle of this adjustable rigid扶正器 (the specific meaning of this Chinese word needs to be determined according to the context).
[0028] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
