[0020] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the following specific embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, and the terms "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively. Example 1

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a portable DC benchtop grinder includes a housing 1. The lower part of the housing 1 is a cuboid structure, the middle part is a frustum of a square pyramid, and the upper part is a horizontally arranged cylinder. The housing 1 has a two-part structure with pre-drilled holes for screw connections. A DC motor 7 is installed inside the cylinder. The DC motor 7 has a maximum rated power of 120W. The DC motor 7 is a brushless type, meaning that carbon brushes are not used. This results in low noise during operation and eliminates the hassle of replacing carbon brushes. Consequently, the grinder is not affected by carbon brush wear and contamination. Both ends of the DC motor 7 have extended shafts, and grinding wheels 5 are fixedly connected to the shafts. Starting the DC motor 8 drives the grinding wheels 5 to rotate for grinding and other operations.

[0022] The bottom of the cuboid structure is provided with a mounting groove 10, and the inner wall of the mounting groove 10 is provided with a buckle groove 11. A battery box 8 is installed in the mounting groove 10. The battery box 8 includes a shell and a lithium battery inside the shell. The battery box 8 is used to power the grinding wheel. A fastener 12 is provided at the upper end of the shell, and one end of the fastener 12 extends to the end of the shell. The surface of the extended end of the fastener 12 is provided with anti-slip texture. The fastener 12 and the buckle groove 11 cooperate. When the battery box 8 is removed, the fastener 12 is pressed from the anti-slip texture, so that the fastener 12 and the buckle groove 11 are separated, and the battery box 8 can be easily removed. The battery box 8 is convenient for outdoor operation or operation in areas without power. At the same time, the entire grinding wheel structure is compact, the battery box 8 is quick to replace, and it is easy to carry and use.

[0023] Furthermore, protruding strips are fixedly connected to the side wall of the housing and the side wall of the mounting groove 10. The protruding strips overlap each other to provide vertical support and limit the battery box 8 in the mounting groove 10.

[0024] A second protective cover 6 is fitted onto the outer side of the grinding wheel 5. The second protective cover 6 improves the safety of the grinding machine. The second protective cover 6 is fixedly connected to the outer casing 1. At the same time, the use of the second protective cover 6 will not affect the replacement of the grinding wheel 5.

[0025] One of the second protective covers 6 has a first protective cover 4 at one end. Several screws are inserted through the side wall of the second protective cover 6 and are threaded to the side wall of the first protective cover 4. By rotating and removing the screws, the first protective cover 4 can be pulled axially to remove it. A connecting opening 3 is provided in the middle of the first protective cover 4 and is directly opposite the end of the rotating shaft. The connecting opening 3 is used to connect a flexible shaft. One end of the flexible shaft is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft, and the other end is used with a corresponding tool for production to improve the efficiency of the operation.
