There is at least a big disc cutter ( 35 ) according to the size of the cross section of the squeezing chamber ( 1 ). There are blades ( 43 ) at intervals with different angles on the front end-face of the big disc cutter ( 35 ). The back end of the big disc cutter ( 35 ) connects with power device ( 41 ) on the back end by principle transmission shaft ( 38 ), and the power device ( 41 ) will drive the principle transmission shaft ( 38 ), thus the big disc cutter ( 35 ) will be driven and produce giant torque. The power device ( 41 ) adopts hydraulic motors. There is at least a small disc cutter ( 36 ) on the hollow part between the big disc cutter ( 35 ) and the frame of the front end of the squeezing chamber ( 1 ). There are also blades ( 43 ) at intervals with different angles on the front end-face of the small disc cutter ( 36 ). The small disc cutter ( 36 ) is sleeve-jointed with the keyway of the secondary transmission shaft ( 39 ) connecting with the power device ( 41 ) by the transmission key ( 40 ). Through the secondary transmission shaft, the power device ( 41 ) passes the rolling torque to the transmission key ( 40 ) fixed in the center of the back end of the small disc cutter ( 36 ), thus the small disc cutter ( 36 ) is driven to rotate and cut the soil. There are vertical holes in the axis of secondary transmission shaft ( 39 ), and there are horizontal thrusting cylinders ( 44 ) along the vertical holes. The piston rod ( 45 ) of the horizontal thrusting cylinder is hinged by shafts ( 29 ) with the back end of the small disc cutter ( 36 ).

Thus the purpose of adjusting the distance and pressure of the small disc cutter ( 36 ) and the soil ahead will be realized. The principle transmission shaft ( 38 ) and the secondary transmission shaft ( 39 ) are separately connected with the power device ( 41 ), which is installed on the fixing frame ( 42 ) of the function chamber ( 4 ). There are air driven hammers ( 37 ) in the space between the big disc cutter ( 35 ) and secondary cutter ( 36 ), the driving method of which is the same as that of the small disc cutter ( 36 ). But the hammers use air cylinders ( 46 ) as power rather than oil cylinders. Under common circumstance, the air driven hammer ( 37 ) lies in the rear and does not work. When there are stones or rock interlayers, high-pressure air could be input and the piston rod ( 47 ) of the cylinder intrudes and pushes the air driven hammer ( 37 ) forward ahead of the big disc cutter ( 35 ) and the secondary cutter ( 36 ), then the air driven hammer ( 37 ) is started and breaks the rocks avoiding the embarrassing situation of interrupting squeezing.
