By providing the tooth buckle lever 5, the user can combine or separate the first tooth buckle 4 with the tooth buckling groove 9 through simple operations without the need for complex tools, improving the convenience of use.

[0026] Embodiment Two

[0027] In this embodiment, in addition to including all the technical features in Embodiment One, it further includes: First helical teeth 10 are fixedly connected to the left sides of both the first adjustment bracket body 1 and the second adjustment bracket body 2. Bracket fixing blocks 7 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower ends of the first adjustment bracket body 1 and the second adjustment bracket body 2. Fixing block installation holes 8 are provided on the surfaces of the bracket fixing blocks 7. Through the structure of the bracket fixing blocks 7, the fixing block installation holes 8 and the first bolts 11, the entire distance adjustment bracket can be conveniently installed on the cable-climbing robot. A first bolt 11 is threadedly installed inside the fixing block installation hole 8. Through the structure of the bracket fixing blocks 7, the fixing block installation holes 8 and the first bolts 11, the bracket can be quickly fixed on the cable-climbing robot or the cable. First fixing holes 16 are evenly provided on the outer wall surface of the first adjustment bracket body 1.

[0028] Working principle:

[0029] First, the user fixes the bracket fixing block 7 on the cable climbing robot by passing the first bolt 11 through the fixing block mounting hole 8, and then pulls the tooth engaging lever 5 fixed above the first tooth engaging part 4 to open the first tooth groove 3, which facilitates the user to adjust the distance to the other side of the cable climbing robot after opening;

[0030] Secondly, the tooth engaging chute 12 provided inside the first adjusting bracket body 1 and the second adjusting bracket body 2 facilitates the sliding of the first tooth engaging part 4. While the spring abutting block 13 abuts against the first spring 15, its cooperation with the spring mounting groove 14 can prevent the first tooth engaging part 4 from shifting;

[0031] Then, the lever chute 6 facilitates the user to move the tooth engaging lever 5, and the tooth engaging groove 9 can limit the first spring 15 to prevent the first tooth engaging part 4 from being ejected by the resilience, which is convenient for the user to use;

[0032] Finally, the first helical tooth 10 and the first tooth groove 3 cooperate with each other, which facilitates the user to install the first adjusting bracket body 1 and the second adjusting bracket body 2. Screwing the second bolt 18 into the first fixing hole 16 and the second fixing hole 17 can improve the stability between the first adjusting bracket body 1 and the second adjusting bracket body 2, prevent damage during operation, improve the safety during operation, and facilitate the user to use.
