[0002] With the development of social economy, the requirements for the power supply continuity and reliability of distribution network lines are becoming higher and higher.

[0003] The wire clamp is used to connect aluminum stranded wires or steel-core aluminum stranded wires with small and medium cross-sections and steel stranded wires of overhead lightning arresters at locations where they are not subjected to tension, and is also used for jumper connections on non-linear pole towers. The existing wire clamps are mainly parallel groove wire clamp structures, which are relatively simple and inconvenient for the installation and positioning of the wire harness. At the same time, after the wire harness is installed, it is easy to detach from the wire clamp, and the stability of the wire clamp connection to the wire harness cannot be well guaranteed;

[0004] In addition, traditional wire clips and wire harnesses are more troublesome to install and do not have the function of pre-positioning during wire harness installation, which is not conducive to the smooth installation of the wire harness.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, a new type of wire clamp structure is now needed. Summary of the invention

[0016] The sides of the upper clamping block and the lower clamping block are connected with squeezing handles.

[0017] The adjusting bolt comprises a screw rod, a nut is arranged at one end of the screw rod, and a fixed torque nut is arranged on the screw rod; the fixed torque nut comprises a lower nut and an upper nut; the lower nut is connected to the upper nut through a fixed torque sleeve.

[0018] A method for using a duckbill type wire clamp structure, the method comprising the following steps:

[0019] Step 1: Assemble the duckbill wire clamp structure; when assembling the duckbill wire clamp structure, it is required to determine the height of the adjustment gasket. At the same time, when the fixed torque nut is installed on the screw, it is required that the fixed torque nut is at the uppermost end of the screw.

[0021] Step 3: Fix the wiring harness; after completing step 2, rotate the torque nut to make it move on the screw rod, thereby realizing the relative movement between the upper clamp block and the lower clamp block, thereby ensuring the extrusion between the upper clamp block and the lower clamp block, thereby ensuring the extrusion and fixation of the first wiring harness and the second wiring harness; the torque nut continues to rotate on the screw rod, and finally sets the position so that the torque sleeve is damaged, so that the upper nut and the lower nut are disconnected; at this point, the wiring harness lap fixation is completed.
