Abstract

Disclosed are a telescopic support foot and a support frame. The support foot includes telescopic assemblies in cascade. The telescopic assemblies each include a telescopic rod; a first limiting device connected to a first end of the telescopic rod; a second limiting device connected to a second end of the telescopic rod. The first limiting device on a next-section telescopic rod can abut against the second limiting device of the telescopic rod to limit separation of the next-section telescopic rod from the telescopic rod. A locking device arranged at the second end of the telescopic rod, connected to the second limiting device, and configured to lock or unlock the second limiting device. The second limiting device can be separated from the second end of the telescopic rod when the locking device is in an unlocked state, to enable the next-section telescopic rod to be separated from the telescopic rod.

Claims (22)

1 . A telescopic support foot, comprising a plurality of telescopic assemblies, wherein the telescopic assemblies each comprise:

a first telescopic rod ( 10 ) with a first end inserted into a second end of a second telescopic rod disposed outside of the second telescopic rod ( 10 ), wherein a telescopic rod disposed inside of the telescopic rod ( 10 ) is inserted into a second end of the telescopic rod ( 10 );

a first limiting device ( 20 ) connected to the first end of the first telescopic rod ( 10 );

a second limiting device ( 30 ) connected to the second end of the second telescopic rod ( 10 ), wherein the first limiting device ( 20 ) on the first telescopic rod disposed inside of the second telescopic rod ( 10 ) abuts against the second limiting device ( 30 ) of the second telescopic rod ( 10 ) to limit separation of the first telescopic rod disposed inside of the second telescopic rod ( 10 ) from the telescopic rod ( 10 ); and

a locking device ( 40 ) arranged at the second end of the second telescopic rod ( 10 ), connected to the second limiting device ( 30 ), and configured to lock or unlock the second limiting device ( 30 ), wherein the second limiting device ( 30 ) is separated from the second end of the second telescopic rod ( 10 ) when the locking device ( 40 ) is in an unlocked state, to enable the first telescopic rod disposed inside of the second telescopic rod ( 10 ) to be separated from the telescopic rod ( 10 );

wherein the second limiting device ( 30 ) comprises a third limiting sheet ( 31 ) and a fourth limiting sheet ( 32 ) that are arranged on an inner side of the second telescopic rod ( 10 ), a first clamping head ( 311 ) and a third limiting protruding portion ( 312 ) are arranged on the third limiting sheet ( 31 ), a second clamping head ( 321 ) and a fourth limiting protruding portion ( 322 ) are arranged on the fourth limiting sheet ( 32 ), one side of the second end of the second telescopic rod ( 10 ) is provided with a first through groove ( 81 ) and a third limiting groove ( 82 ) communicating with the first through groove ( 81 ), the other side of the second end of the second telescopic rod ( 10 ) is provided with a second through groove ( 83 ) and a fourth limiting groove ( 84 ) communicating with the second through groove ( 83 ), and the locking device ( 40 ) is connected to the first clamping head ( 311 ) and the second clamping head ( 321 ) when the third limiting protruding portion ( 312 ) extends into the third limiting groove ( 82 ) through the first through groove ( 81 ) and the fourth limiting protruding portion ( 322 ) extends into the fourth limiting groove ( 84 ) through the second through groove ( 83 ), so as to limit separation of the first-telescopic rod disposed inside of the second telescopic rod ( 10 ) from the telescopic rod ( 10 ).

2 . The telescopic support foot according to claim 1 , wherein the first limiting device ( 20 ) comprises a first limiting sheet ( 21 ) and a second limiting sheet ( 22 ) that are arranged on an outer side of the telescopic rod ( 10 ), a first limiting protruding portion ( 211 ) is arranged on an inner side wall of the first limiting sheet ( 21 ), a second limiting protruding portion is arranged on an inner side wall of the second limiting sheet ( 22 ), two sides of the telescopic rod ( 10 ) are provided with a first limiting groove ( 212 ) and a second limiting groove ( 221 ) respectively, the first limiting protruding portion ( 211 ) is inserted in the first limiting groove ( 212 ), and the second limiting protruding portion is inserted in the second limiting groove ( 221 ).

3 . A support frame, comprising the telescopic support foot of claim 2 .

4 . The telescopic support foot according to claim 1 , wherein an end face of the second end of the telescopic rod ( 10 ) is provided with a fifth limiting groove ( 50 ), and the first clamping head ( 311 ) and the second clamping head ( 321 ) are movably arranged in the fifth limiting groove ( 50 ).

5 . A support frame, comprising the telescopic support foot of claim 4 .

6 . The telescopic support foot according to claim 1 , wherein the locking device ( 40 ) comprises:

a ferrule ( 41 ) sleeved at the second end of the telescopic rod ( 10 ) and provided with a sixth limiting groove ( 42 );

a first connecting rod ( 43 ) connected to two open ends of the ferrule ( 41 );

a spring ( 44 ) sleeved on the first connecting rod ( 43 ) and abutting against the two open ends of the ferrule ( 41 );

a second connecting rod ( 45 ) connected to an end of the first connecting rod ( 43 ) by means of a detachable structure ( 60 ), and

a wrench ( 46 ) rotatably connected to the second connecting rod ( 45 ), wherein the wrench ( 46 ) has a locking position and an unlocking position, and the first clamping head ( 311 ) and the second clamping head ( 321 ) extend into the sixth limiting groove ( 42 ) when the wrench ( 46 ) is at the locking position, or are separated from the sixth limiting groove ( 42 ) when the wrench ( 46 ) is at the unlocking position.

7 . The telescopic support foot according to claim 6 , wherein the detachable structure ( 60 ) is a threaded connection structure.

8 . A support frame, comprising the telescopic support foot of claim 7 .

9 . The telescopic support foot according to claim 6 , wherein an anti-slip gasket ( 70 ) is arranged between the wrench ( 46 ) and the ferrule ( 41 ).

10 . A support frame, comprising the telescopic support foot of claim 9 .

11 . A support frame, comprising the telescopic support foot of claim 6 .

12 . A support frame, comprising the telescopic support foot of claim 1 .
