During the process of sucking and moving the main cutting plate body 9, the slide rod 24 not under pressure slides downward and resets in the middle of the fixed block 23. Power on and start the driver 33, so that the output end of the driver 33 rotates. The output end of the driver 33 drives the lead screw 34 to rotate.
