[0037] It is worth mentioning that the contraction portion 41 abuts against any upper or lower end of the slide groove 31, and the fixing member 4 is provided with a plurality of equally spaced push portions 42. Since the fixing member 4 is threadedly connected to the support column 3, when the fixing member 4 is rotated and tightened, the contraction portion 41 will sink. At this time, the slide groove 31 provides an upper and lower space for the contraction portion 41 to move, and the slide groove 31 also serves to limit the upper and lower movement of the fixing member 4. The push portion 42 facilitates the user to operate the rotation of the fixing member 4 without using tools.

[0038] It is worth mentioning that the cable tie post 5 abuts the supporting portion 32 and the fixing portion 34 respectively, and abutting portions 53 are provided on both sides of the cable tie post 5 and abut the contraction portion 41.

[0040] It is worth mentioning that the meter box body 1 is provided with an inlet hole 11 and a plurality of outlet holes 12, and the flange 33 is fixed to the inlet hole 11 and the outlet hole 12 by screws. The material of the wiring harness column 5 is set to rubber, and the flange 33 is fixed to the inlet hole 11 and the outlet hole 12 by screws. The rubber is soft and can better fit the surface of the wire.

[0041] The use principle of the utility model is now described as follows:

[0042] After the wire passes through the through hole 51, the fixing member 4 is rotated. As the support portion 311 and the root of the contraction portion 41 get closer, the contraction portion 41 gradually contracts toward the center of the cable tie post 5, causing the cable tie post 5 to deform so as to fit more closely to the surface of the wire, filling the gap between the wire and the cable tie post 5, and forming a clamping force on the wire, thereby completing the cable tie and fixation of the wire.

[0043] At the same time, the contraction portion 41 moves from the top slide groove 31 to the bottom slide groove 31, and the contraction portion 41 shortens the distance with the pressure ring 36, so that the spring piece 7 stores energy. After the spring piece 7 releases the elastic force, it is given to the fixing part 4, increasing the thread friction between the fixing part 4 and the support column 3, ensuring that the fixing part 4 is fixed in the position after the movement.

[0044] The above design scheme can make the product have the advantages of firm wire fixing, simple operation and good sealing.
