The inclined surfaces 51 are used in conjunction with the expansion part 22 to reduce the friction of the fixing block 5 when it is disengaged from the first groove 21. The countersunk hole 53 prevents the spring 54 from disengaging and provides more space for the spring 54 to be accommodated.

[0045] It is worth mentioning that the cable tray 6 is provided with several equally spaced cable receiving slots 61, the cable tray 6 is provided with a first hinge part 62, the first hinge part 62 is hinged to the first extension part 31, the cable tray 6 is provided with a second groove 63, and an inclined clearance part 64 is provided on one side of the second groove 63. Each cable receiving slot 61 can accommodate one wire for later differentiation, and the clearance part 64 allows the protrusion 72 to smoothly enter the second groove 63.

[0046] It is worth mentioning that the pressure plate 7 is provided with a pressure part 74 corresponding to the wire receiving groove 61, the pressure plate 7 is provided with a second hinge part 71 and hinged to the third extension part 42, the pressure plate 7 is provided with a protrusion 72 and inserted into the second groove 63, the protrusion 72 is provided with a spring piece 73 and abuts against the side wall of the second groove 63, the pressure part 74 tightly presses the wire into the wire receiving groove 61 to prevent the wire from being affected by external force and becoming loose from the connection with electrical components, and the spring piece 73 increases the friction between the protrusion 72 and the second groove 63;

[0047] It is worth mentioning that the wire trough 61 is provided with wire ties 65 at both ends and is provided on both sides of the pressure plate 7. The wire ties 65 is provided with a second notch 651 and a guide part 652. The wire ties 65 initially limit the wires to prevent them from falling out. The guide part 652 expands the distance between the second notches 651 to accommodate the wires entering it.

[0048] It is worth mentioning that the guide rod 2 is provided with relief grooves 23 on both sides, the first groove 21 is provided in the relief groove 23, the first sliding sleeve 3 and the second sliding sleeve 4 are provided with abutting parts 10 corresponding to the relief grooves 23 and abut against each other, and the fixing block 5 is provided on both sides of the abutting parts 10. The abutting parts 10 abut against the relief grooves 23, thereby preventing the first sliding sleeve 3 and the second sliding sleeve 4 from rotating during the lifting process.

[0049] The working principle of this utility model is described as follows:

[0050] Using the first groove 21 and the fixing block 5, the first sliding sleeve 3 and the second sliding sleeve 4 can be flexibly adjusted according to the installation position of the electrical components, so that the cable tie plate 6 and the pressure plate 7 are accurately positioned at the inlet and outlet ports of the electrical components. It should be noted that if multiple electrical components are installed in the housing 1, the cable tie plate 6 and the pressure plate 7 need to be rotated to avoid the electrical components during the adjustment process before the position of the first sliding sleeve 3 and the second sliding sleeve 4 is adjusted.

[0051] In addition, by simply applying a pushing force to the first sliding sleeve 3 and the second sliding sleeve 4, the fixed block 5 can be retracted and disengaged by the expansion part 22, which can easily disconnect the first sliding sleeve 3 and the second sliding sleeve 4 from the guide rod 2, significantly reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0052] Subsequently, the wires are placed one by one into different wire receiving grooves 61 through the wire binding ring 65. After all the wires are connected and adjusted, the pressure plate 7 is rotated and abuts against the wire binding plate 6. The pressure part 74 enters the wire receiving groove 61. As the protrusion 72 gradually penetrates into the second groove 63, the force exerted by the pressure part 74 on the wires becomes greater, thereby preventing the wires from detaching and effectively sorting out messy wires, reducing the workload of later maintenance. In summary, this solution has the advantages of improving maintenance efficiency, flexible adjustment, and simple operation.

[0053] The above description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present utility model. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims submitted by the present utility model.
