[0038] Specifically, referring to the drawings of the specification Figure 1 , the cabinet 50 provides a position for placing the assembly mechanism 40, the drive mechanism 30 and the shell 20, wherein the shell 20 can cover part of the assembly mechanism 40 and the drive mechanism 30 to achieve safety and dustproof effect, and the side of the cabinet 50 has a knob 51, which can be used by the user to control the speed of the motor 31 according to the situation.

[0039] Specifically, referring to the drawings of the specification Figure 2 and Figure 3 , after the cable end 11 is stripped, the end 12 is installed at the stripped and unstripped parts, the end has a threaded stud 12 (not marked), the threaded stud 12 has an external thread 121 matched with an internal thread 131 in the nut 13, and the nut 13 is sleeved on the stripped bare wire 111 next to the threaded stud 12. The stripped bare wire 111 is placed into the wire hole 44 until the nut 13 matched with the countersunk head abuts against the countersunk head 45, and the countersunk head 45 rotates to drive the nut 13 to rotate and be screwed onto the threaded stud 12.

One of the long sides of the shell 21 has an axle hole 22 to expose part of the assembling mechanism 40, and the assembling mechanism 40 will not touch the shell 21 when rotating. The other long side of the shell has a corresponding axle hole (not labeled), so that the mechanism can also be used when the stripped bare wire 111 is long.

[0041] Specifically, referring to the drawings of the specification Figure 1 and Figure 3 The driving device 30 includes a motor 31, a fixed seat 32, and a driving wheel 33.
