[0020] like Figures 1 to 5 When the tooth 1 is fixed with the tooth 1, the tooth 1 is fixed with the connecting layer 2, and the connecting layer 2 is fixed with the base 3. Two elastic sheets 8 are fixedly installed in the middle of the top surface of the base 3. The outer end of the top surface of the base 3 is fixedly installed with a vertical plate 4. An upper clamping block 16 and a lower clamping block 14 are slidably installed between the two vertical plates 4. A steel wire 7 is installed between the upper clamping block 16 and the lower clamping block 14. The two vertical plates 4 are fixedly installed with a supporting plate 5 on the top. A bolt 6 is installed in the middle of the support plate 5. The bottom of the bolt 6 is tightened to the upper clamping block 16. The top plate 20 is fixedly installed on the two outer sides of the base 3. The bolt 6 provided in the utility model is adjusted so that the upper clamping block 16 and the lower clamping block 14 can slide up and down between the two vertical plates 4 so that the steel wire 7 can move up and down. The elastic sheet 8 presses the lower clamping block 14 tightly so that the steel wire 7 is fixed after moving. The top plate 20 can support the two ends of the steel wire 7, and the tightness adjustment of the steel wire 7 can be completed by simple operation.
