A sealing element 8 is arranged between the outer ring 42 of the bearing 4 and the end cap 7, and the sealing element 8 is located inside the cutter body 3. The central shaft 2 is provided with a limiting structure on the outer side of each end cap 7 (the inner side is the side opposite to the two end caps 7), one of the limiting structures is an annular boss 21 arranged on the central shaft 2, according to the coordinate system shown in Figure 1 , the end cap 7 on the front side abuts against the rear side surface of the annular boss 21, and the other limiting structure is a locking nut 9, the locking nut 9 is fixedly connected to the central shaft 2 in a threaded connection manner.

[0054] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the counting component comprises a first push rod 11 arranged in the central shaft 2, the first push rod 11 is located between the two bearings 4 and perpendicular to the axis of the central shaft 2. The first push rod 11 is in sliding connection with the central shaft 2, and an elastic member is arranged between the first push rod 11 and the central shaft 2. The first push rod 11 comprises a guide portion 111 and a driving portion 112 in sequence in the direction away from the cutter body 3, the guide portion 111 is in cylindrical structure, the driving portion 112 is in conical structure, and the diameter of the driving portion 112 gradually decreases in the direction away from the guide portion 111. A second push rod 12 perpendicular to the first push rod 11 is arranged in the central shaft 2, one end of the second push rod 12 abuts against the driving portion 112 of the first push rod 11, and the other end of the second push rod 12 abuts against a press switch 131 of a counter 13. The counter 13 is fixedly arranged on the end face of the central shaft 2 in a detachable manner, and the counter 13 is arranged on the front end face of the central shaft 2 in a detachable manner according to the coordinate system shown in the figure.
