[0030] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0031] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the adjustable distance support device provided by this utility model includes:

[0033] A support frame (10) for supporting goods, two support frames (10) are provided to form a support mechanism for supporting an object. The support frame (10) is provided with a through hole (15). The support frame (10) is divided into a movable support frame (12) and a fixed support frame (13). The through hole of the movable support frame (12) is provided with a threaded opening (11) and the threaded opening (11) is provided with a thread. The through hole (15) of the fixed support frame (13) is connected to a bearing (30) and the bearing (30) is fixed on the through hole (15) of the fixed support frame (13).

[0034] The telescopic link (20) has an external thread at one end, which connects to the threaded port (11) of the movable support frame (12) via the external thread. The other end is axially fixedly connected to the bearing (30). After connection, the telescopic link (20) can only rotate axially relative to the fixed support frame (13), while the movable support frame can move axially.

[0035] In this example, the span of the support frame (10) is adjusted by rotating the telescopic link (20). Since the movable support frame (12) and the telescopic link (20) are connected by threads, the position of the movable support frame (12) on the telescopic link (20) changes, while the position of the fixed support frame (13) on the telescopic link (20) remains unchanged, thereby adjusting the span between the fixed support frame (13) and the movable support frame (12).

[0036] In some instances, the surface of the support frame (10) that contacts the storage item may not be a plane. The corresponding shape can be set according to the shape of commonly used storage items, such as setting different degrees of curvature to fit the storage item, increase the contact area, and improve the stability of the storage item.

[0037] The support frame (10) in this example is divided into two support sections. Adjacent sections are provided with matching sockets (14) for snap-fit ​​fixing. The end of the first section is provided with a transverse flange with bolt holes. The beginning of the second section is provided with a groove that matches the flange. The flange of the first section is inserted into the groove of the second section and fixed by bolts passing through the bolt holes to form a rigid connection. The segmented design has the following advantages:

[0038] Reduced production difficulty: After segmentation, the length of each segment is controlled within 2m, eliminating the need for large processing equipment and making it suitable for production in small and medium-sized workshops.

[0039] Convenience of transportation: The segmented support frame can be stacked for transportation, reducing the space occupied in logistics.

[0040] Assembly flexibility: Adapt to different equipment size requirements by increasing or decreasing the number of segments (such as 2, 3 or 4 segments).

[0041] In this example, each support frame (10) is equipped with a separate telescopic link (20). These telescopic links (20) can cooperate with the support frame (10) to effectively enhance the overall structural strength and stability of the shelf. It is worth noting that the number of telescopic links (20) does not have to be consistent with the number of segments of the support frame (10). The number can also be less than the number of segments of the support frame (10), and can still play a role in improving stability to a certain extent.

[0042] Preferably, multiple movable support frames (12) can be set up, which can effectively expand the contact area of ​​the support surface, distribute the pressure, and improve the stability of the equipment. When setting up multiple support frames (10), the distance between them must be planned in advance so that each support frame bears the weight evenly, prevents the equipment from tilting and shaking, and ensures that the equipment is stored more stably.

[0043] Preferably, for easier operation, a cross-shaped groove for screwdrivers is provided at one end of the telescopic link (20), allowing the telescopic link (20) to be easily rotated to adjust the span of the shelf using a tool. Alternatively, one end of the telescopic link can be designed as hexagonal for precise operation with a wrench, meeting diverse usage needs.

[0044] Preferably, the bottom of the support frame (10) is equipped with universal guide wheels (40). The universal guide wheels are bolted to both ends of the support frame (10) and the connection points of adjacent support sections. The universal guide wheels provide support and improve the ease of adjusting the spacing, making the support frame (10) easier to move.

[0045] Preferably, lifting lugs (50) are welded to the upper edge of the support frame (10) using a welding process. The welding process greatly enhances the connection strength between the lifting lugs and the support frame, which is sufficient to bear the weight of the entire shelf during hoisting. When the shelf needs to be moved to another location or delivered for transport, the staff only needs to accurately hook the hooks of the crane, forklift, or other lifting equipment onto the lifting lugs (50) to easily and smoothly hoist the equipment and the support frame simultaneously. The whole process is simple, safe, and efficient, effectively shortening the preparation time before transportation and improving logistics turnover efficiency.

[0046] Typically, the telescopic linkage (20) uses a threaded structure to adjust the spacing of the support frame (10), utilizing the rotational propulsion principle of the thread to achieve fine-tuning of the support frame's position. However, it is worth mentioning that, in addition to this conventional threaded adjustment method, other structures can also be used to achieve the same purpose.

[0047] For example, a series of evenly distributed pin holes along the axial direction can be set on the telescopic link (20) according to precise dimensional calculations. The spacing of these pin holes is designed differently to meet the needs of adjusting the spacing of the support frame (10) in different scenarios. At the same time, corresponding pin holes are also set at the through hole positions where the support frame (10) connects to the telescopic link (20). In order to make the overall appearance more refined and beautiful, countersunk holes are used in the design of the pin holes. The existence of countersunk holes can not only hide the head of the pin and prevent it from being exposed and affecting the overall aesthetics, but also protect the pin to a certain extent and prevent it from being hit and damaged by the outside world.

[0048] In actual operation, simply insert the pins into the pin holes at different positions on the support frame (10) and the telescopic link (20) according to specific needs, and the relative position of the support frame (10) on the telescopic link (20) can be easily changed. In this way, the distance between the support frames (10) can be precisely adjusted to meet the placement needs of items of different sizes, thus improving the versatility and practicality of the shelf.
