The upper and lower hemispheres are hinged together, with an upper connecting plate and a lower connecting plate fixedly connected to each hemisphere. The upper connecting plate has an upper auxiliary plate, and the lower connecting plate has a lower auxiliary plate. A movable clamping block is slidably connected to the upper auxiliary plate, driven by a power device. A fixed clamping block corresponding to the movable clamping block is provided on the lower auxiliary plate. A hinge rod is hinged between the upper auxiliary plate and the movable clamping block. Both the fixed and movable clamping blocks have wire clamping blocks, and the wire clamping blocks have placement grooves for storing cables.
