[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the machine body 1 is inclined at a certain angle to the horizontal plane, and a powder leakage groove 504 is provided on one side of the bottom of the knife holder 501. By offsetting the machine body 1 at a certain angle, it is convenient for the material to smoothly enter the inside of the knife holder 501, and at the same time, the powder after grinding can be smoothly discharged and collected through the powder leakage groove 504.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, fixing blocks 502 are fixedly connected to both sides of the tool holder 501. The fixing blocks 502 are trapezoidal structures. The installation of the two fixing blocks 502 facilitates the holding of both sides of the tool holder 501 and makes it easy to disassemble and assemble the tool holder 501.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, two parallel guide blocks 603 are respectively installed on both sides of the tool holder 501. The two guide blocks 603 are located on the outer side of the bottom end of the slot 602. One side of the guide block 603 has an arc-shaped structure. The installation of the two guide blocks 603 helps to guide one end of the slot 602, so that the slot 602 and the block 601 can be smoothly connected without jamming.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the hopper 304 is a cylindrical structure with an open bottom. The top of the hopper 304 is connected to a top cover 302. The installation of the top cover 302 helps to shield and protect the top of the hopper 304. By removing the top cover 302, it is convenient to add material into the hopper 304 so that the material can enter the tool holder 501 for grinding.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the bottom outer wall of the hopper 304 is provided with a scale 303. The bottom inner diameter of the hopper 304 is larger than the top diameter of the cutter disc flange 503. The scale 303 facilitates the observation of the rotation degree of the hopper 304, and at the same time facilitates the smooth engagement of the bottom of the hopper 304 with the top of the cutter disc flange 503, so that the cutter disc flange 503 is installed stably.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the top side wall of the tool holder 501 is provided with multiple positioning grooves 507, and multiple positioning blocks 506 are fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the tool disc flange 503. The multiple positioning blocks 506 are engaged with the multiple positioning grooves 507. By opening the multiple positioning grooves 507, the tool disc flange 503 is stably engaged with the top of the tool holder 501 through the multiple positioning blocks 506, and will not swing.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, springs 508 are respectively installed on the top of multiple positioning slots 507. The top of the springs 508 abuts against the bottom of the positioning block 506. The cutter disc flange 503 is elastically connected to the top of the cutter holder 501 through multiple springs 508. The installation of multiple springs 508 facilitates the elastic connection between the cutter disc flange 503 and the top of the cutter holder 501, so that the conical cutter 505 plays a shock-absorbing and buffering role when working inside, thus extending the service life of the conical cutter 505.

[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the bottom of the cover 301 extends to one side, and multiple magnets 306 are respectively installed on the outer side of the cover 301 and the outer side of the machine body 1. The cover 301 is detachably engaged with the mounting groove 305 through the magnets 306, which facilitates the discharge of the powder after grinding through the bottom of the cover 301 for easy collection. The installation of multiple magnets 306 facilitates the easy disassembly and assembly of the cover 301 and the outer side of the machine body 1.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a rubber pad 4 is installed at one end of the bottom of the machine body 1, and a cup 2 is provided on the top of the rubber pad 4. The top of the cup 2 is located at the bottom of the cover 301. The installation of the rubber pad 4 facilitates the placement of the cup 2 and plays a role in positioning and anti-slip. The placement of the cup 2 facilitates the collection of grinding powder.

[0035] In use, the machine body 1 is first placed in the designated position. Then, the cutter disc flange 503 is engaged with the top of the cutter holder 501. With the cooperation of the positioning block 506 and the positioning groove 507, the cutter disc flange 503 and the cutter holder 501 are stably installed, allowing the conical cutter 505 to be installed inside the cutter holder 501. Multiple springs 508 provide an elastic connection between the flange and the cutter holder 501, making the conical cutter 505 less prone to wear during operation. The installation groove 305 is also included. The fixing blocks 502 on both sides of the tool holder 501 facilitate holding the tool holder 501. The tool holder 501 is then placed inside the machine body 1. With the installation of the two locking blocks 601 and the cooperation of the locking slots 602, the tool holder 501 can slide horizontally into the machine body 1. After sliding into a certain position, due to the convex structure of the locking slots 602, the tool holder 501 will slide downwards, achieving a stable and secure engagement inside the machine body 1, preventing it from slipping out. Through the rotation of the material bin 304, and with the cooperation of the threads, the material bin 3... 04. Move downwards and engage with the top of the cutter head flange 503 to prevent the cutter holder 501 from loosening and sliding upwards. Then, by opening the top cover 302, the material can be placed into the hopper 304 and guided into the cutter holder 501 for grinding. The multiple covers 301 engage with the outside of the mounting groove 305 to shield the mounting groove 305 and protect the cutter holder 501. The ground material can be discharged through the bottom of the cover 301, making operation more convenient. During grinding, the cup 2 is placed using the rubber pad 4 to easily collect the powder. When disassembling and maintaining, the cover 301 is disassembled, and the hopper 304 is rotated in the opposite direction to separate the hopper 304 from the top of the cutter head flange 503. Then, the cutter holder 501 is pushed upwards to move the locking block 601 to the bottom of the locking groove 602. Finally, the cutter holder 501 is pulled to facilitate disassembly and maintenance. The cutter head flange 503 and the conical cutter 505 are removed to clean the cutter holder 501.
