1. An apparatus for adjusting a width of a rail mechanism, the rail mechanism comprising a fixed rail and a movable rail parallel with each other, wherein the apparatus for adjusting the width of the rail mechanism is configured to move the movable rail from an initial position to a working position and comprises:
a base configured to be provided thereon with the fixed rail;
a first guide rail provided on the base and configured to be installed with the movable rail, the movable rail being movable in a direction facing towards or facing away from the fixed rail along an axial direction of the first guide rail;
a moving distance acquiring module configured to acquire a moving distance required for the movable rail to move from the initial position to the working position;
a driving assembly detachably connected with the movable rail and configured to drive the movable rail to move from the initial position to the working position based on the moving distance; and
a locking element connected with both of the movable rail and the first guide rail and configured to lock the movable rail onto the first guide rail or release the movable rail from the first guide rail, wherein the locking element is a barometric normal-closed guide rail brake installed on the first guide rail.
