[0033] In this embodiment, in the cylinder assembly formed by the cylinder front cover 31 and the cylinder rear cover 6, at least one additional cylinder group is provided in front of the main piston 10, including: a return air sleeve 7, an additional piston 5, an inner nitrile rubber sealing ring 11, and an outer nitrile rubber sealing ring 9, wherein the additional piston 5 is fixedly connected to the cylinder push rod 32; the specific number of the return air sleeve 7 and the additional piston 5 is three groups; the outer ends of the main piston 10 and the additional piston 5 are provided with an outer nitrile rubber sealing ring 9 for sealing, and the front ends of the main piston 10 and the additional piston 5 are provided with an inner nitrile rubber sealing ring 11 for sealing.

[0034] During operation, the coil stator 8 is energized by an external frequency converter to generate a magnetic field, driving the rotor 30 and the hollow rotating shaft 2 to rotate at a high speed, thereby driving the pull rod 18 and the cutter 12 to rotate, achieving the purpose of bus grinding and cutting.
[0035] At the same time, since the main shaft generates heat during high-speed operation, the cooling water enters the water channel 101 between the external shaft housing and the coil housing through the rear water inlet. The circumferentially surrounding water channel takes away the heat of the main shaft and is sprayed out through the cooling water nozzle 23 at the front end. The sprayed water cools the cutter during processing (and can also clean the cutter when not processing), achieving the purpose of cooling the main shaft and cooling the cutter at the same time.
[0036] When the cutter needs to be replaced, the industrial air compressor supplies air to the air path quick connector 47, the main piston in the cylinder advances, thereby pushing the pull rod to compress the disc spring 19 forward, driving the chuck 4 to push out, realizing the loosening of the cutter 12; after the cutter 12 is replaced, the air source is disconnected, the internal spring of the cylinder pushes the cylinder piston to retreat, the pull rod retreats through the elastic force of the disc spring 19, driving the chuck to retreat, and the chuck retreats and fits with the rotor taper hole to clamp the cutter.
