[0026] The fixed seat comprises two groups of supporting pieces, the two groups of supporting pieces act on the outer circumferential surface of the erected sponge embryo 4 respectively, the width of the feeding channel 11 is the same as the width of the sponge embryo 4, at this time, the sponge embryo 4 falling into the fixed seat is just clamped, but the falling precision is relatively high, therefore, the width of the feeding channel 11 can be slightly larger than the width of the sponge embryo 4, at this time, when the sponge embryo 4 is a square material, the supporting piece is an inclined plate, the inclined plates of the two groups of supporting pieces are oppositely arranged to form an included angle, and the included angle is usually 90° and matches one corner of the square material, so that the square material can be clamped, when the sponge embryo 4 is a circular material, the supporting piece is an arc-shaped plate, the arc-shaped plates of the two groups of supporting pieces are oppositely arranged to form an arc, which can match the circular material, so that the circular material is conveniently limited and the sponge embryo 4 is prevented from rolling, and the polishing precision is further ensured.
