[0033] Specifically, referring to Figures 1-3The drilling assembly 2 comprises a mounting rod 21 and a drill bit 22, one end of the mounting rod 21 is fixed with a second connecting disc 23, the other end of the mounting rod 21 is fixed with the drill bit 22, the axis of the mounting rod 21 coincides with the axis of the drill bit 22, and the second connecting disc 23 is connected and fixed with the first connecting disc 32 through bolts and nuts. A plurality of bolt holes are arranged in a circumferential array on the first connecting disc 32 and the second connecting disc 23, the bolts pass through the bolt holes and are threadedly connected with the nuts to achieve the fixed connection of the drill bit 22 and the drill rod 1.
[0034] In one embodiment, a rubber pad is fixed at the bottom end of the positioning plate 34 to improve the clamping stability of the positioning plate 34 to the drilling assembly 2.

[0041] In one embodiment, the knob 452 is provided with an internal hexagonal groove, and the knob 452 can be twisted by inserting a tool into the internal hexagonal groove to rotate the worm 451.
[0042] The working principle of the present application is as follows: when installing the drill bit 22, the worker contacts and fits the mounting rod 21 with the first connecting disc 32, and then drives the knob 452 exposed outside the hollow cover 31 to rotate by a tool, so that the worm 451 drives the worm gear 453 to rotate the rotating shaft 454, which drives the driving bevel gear 44 to rotate, thereby driving the driven bevel gear 41 to rotate the screw rod 43. During the rotation of the screw rod 43, the clamping rod 33 is gathered to the central part of the first connecting disc 32, and then at least three screw rods 43 simultaneously clamp the mounting rod 21 to realize the preliminary installation. Then the first connecting disc 32 and the second connecting disc 23 are fixed by bolts and nuts.
