[0048] In this embodiment, the angle block magnetic adjustment dial 53 can drive the angle block magnetic lower disc 51 to rotate. Since the magnetic force gear adjustment step top teeth 520 of the angle block magnetic upper disc 52 abut against the magnetic force gear adjustment step bottom teeth 510 of the angle block magnetic lower disc 51, the rotation of the angle block magnetic lower disc 51 can change the distance between the angle block magnetic lower disc 51 and the angle block magnetic upper disc 52, so that the distance between the angle block magnetic upper disc 52 and the angle block magnetic lower disc 51 can be changed, and the angle block magnetic rod 42 can be driven to move up and down, so as to change the distance between the angle block magnetic rod 42 and the rotating core 1, and then the magnetic distance between the sixth magnetic attraction element 43 at the bottom of the angle block magnetic rod 42 and the fifth magnetic attraction element 13 of the rotating core 1 can be adjusted, the magnetic attraction force can be changed, and the function of variable magnetic force can be realized.

In addition, since the angle block magnetic rod 42 is detachably connected with the angle block 4 and the prism magnetic rod 38 is detachably connected with the prism 3, when the magnetic attraction element needs to be replaced, the internal components do not need to be disassembled, and only the internal magnetic rod needs to be replaced, so that the effect of replacing the magnetic attraction element can be achieved.
