[0021] Specifically, spacer ring 307 is used to fix the position of the bearing on both sides, to prevent the bearing from displacement or displacement during operation. By correctly positioning the bearing on both sides of the spacer ring 307, the spacer ring 307 ensures the stability of the bearing and avoids unnecessary gaps or contact between the bearings, thereby ensuring the precise movement of the cutter hub 3. The end of the first splice block 308 and the end of the second splice block 309 are connected by inserting the positioning pin 311, thereby forming a complete annular shape. The length of the positioning pin 311 is consistent with the length of the positioning slot 310, avoiding the end of the positioning pin 311 from protruding. By setting the detachable spacer ring 307, the spacer ring 307 can be removed and taken out, allowing the machining of both bearing positions 305 at the same time, ensuring the concentricity of the two bearing positions 305, ensuring the installation accuracy of the bearing, and the stress will be more uniform, avoiding the gap or contact problem caused by unstable bearing position, thereby ensuring the precise movement of the cutter hub 3. The spacer ring 307 can be conveniently removed and taken out when needed, facilitating the maintenance, processing or replacement of the two bearing positions 305.

[0023] Specifically, by setting the cutter ring position 301 and the snap ring position 302 on the outer wall of the cutter hub 3, and installing the cutter ring 4 by interference fit, the snap ring 5 is used to block the cutter ring 4 from shifting, ensuring the firm connection between the cutter ring 4 and the cutter hub 3, which can effectively improve the stability of the cutter, reduce the deviation or wear of the cutter during high-speed rotation, and prolong the service life of the cutter. The bearing transition position of the inner wall of the spacer ring 307 contacts the inner ring of the bearing, and the skeleton ring provided in the skeleton position 304 can further enhance the axial stability of the cutter, providing better support force and compression resistance.
