When the replacement tool 34 moves to the bottom of the cutter head, the height of the cutter head is lowered to insert the replacement tool 34 into the cutter head, thereby completing the tool replacement. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 11 is retracted to recycle the replaced cutter head into the tool box 6. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 2 16 is retracted so that the clamp 14 no longer clamps the cutter head, thereby placing the cutter head inside the installation disk 29. Then start the fan 21, and the rotation of the fan 21 drives the air flow.
