[0029] In this embodiment, when the medicine needs to be cut, first, the closed top cover 6 is turned, causing the closed top cover 6 and the connecting frame 5 to rotate along the fixed vertical plate 4, separating the closed top cover 6 and the cutting base 1. Depending on the medicine cutting requirements, different cutting tools 14 are selected. The adjusting rod 9 is pressed, causing the rotating ring seat 11, the fixed plate 12, and the limiting rod 15 to move, so that the limiting rod 15 exits from the limiting hole 8. Then, the adjusting rod 9 is rotated to rotate the required cutting tool 14 to the position corresponding to the cutting base 22. At this time, the limiting rod 15 and the limiting hole 8 are aligned. The adjusting rod 9 is released, and the reaction force of the first return spring 10 pushes the adjusting rod 9 to move, causing the limiting rod 15 to insert into the limiting hole 8. Then, the medicine is placed in the limiting groove 23 on the cutting base 22, and the adjustment rod is turned in the opposite direction. The top cover 6 is closed, causing the top cover 6 and connecting frame 5 to rotate along the fixed vertical plate 4, thus closing the top cover 6 and the cutting base 1. At the same time, the adjusting rod 9 is pressed down, causing the rotating ring seat 11, fixed plate 12, limiting rod 15, cutting tool 14, and fixed ring seat 16 to move downward. During this process, the protective ring seat 20 first contacts the cutting base 22. As the adjusting rod 9 is pressed down, the anti-detachment block 17 and sliding rod 18 slide within the protective ring seat 20, and the second return spring 19 is compressed, completing the cutting. Then, the top cover 6 is opened, pushing the medicine inside the limiting groove 23 into the storage chamber 24. The medicine passes through the filter frame 25, and the debris falls to the bottom of the storage chamber 24. When the medicine is not being cut, the second return spring 19 pushes the protective ring seat 20 away from the fixed ring seat 16, isolating the cutting tool 14.
