The driven end 12 can directly or indirectly bear the power-driven source, so that a rotary driving device (not shown in the figure) actuates the main body 10 to rotate round the central axis X through the mounting end 11 and the driven end 12 as center.

A first surface 13 is formed on the periphery of the main body 10. The first surface 13 is located between the mounting end 11 and the driven end 12, and the first surface 13 in approximately circular arc is preferred implementation, so that a piece of sandpaper 90 is arranged on the first surface 13. When the first surface 13 is a circular surface, the center of circle of the first surface 13 is on the central axis X. A first storage chamber 14 and a second storage chamber 15 are formed inside the main body 10. The first storage chamber 14 and the second storage chamber 15 extend from the mounting end 11 into the main body 10 respectively. A channel 16 is formed on the first surface 13. One end of the channel 16 extends at the mounting end 11, the other end of the channel 16 points at the driven end 12. The channel 16 extends into the main body 10, and the channel 16 communicates with the first storage chamber 14, the second storage chamber 15 extends on one side of the channel 16, so that one end of the sandpaper 90 enters the first storage chamber 14 to form a restricted part 92, the other end of the sandpaper 90 is located in the second storage chamber 15. The first storage chamber 14 has a compass circumferential wall 142.

The tension member 20 is disposed in the first storage chamber 14, and can rotate in the first storage chamber 14. The tension member 20 has a guide slot 21, the guide slot 21 extends from the periphery of the tension member 20 into the tension member 20, so that the restricted part 92 enters the guide slot 21 through the channel 16, and the restricted part 92 is guided to adhere to the circumferential wall 142 as the tension member 20 rotates, and then the tension member 20 and the circumferential wall 142 oppositely press and localize the restricted part 92, and the sandpaper 90 is stretched tight and adhering to the first surface 13.

As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, when the sandpaper 90 is arranged in Embodiment 1, the sandpaper 90 is opposite to the first surface 13, and multiple grinding parts 96 formed of abrasive particles are laid on the sandpaper 90, facing one side of the sandpaper 90 far from the first surface 13. When the guide slot 21 is connected to the channel 16, one end of the sandpaper 90 is wound to form a winding part 94, the winding part 94 is placed in the second storage chamber 15 through the mounting end 11, so that the winding part 94 is located in the second storage chamber 15. The other end of the sandpaper 90 is placed in the guide slot 21 to form the restricted part 92. The portions of the sandpaper 90 near the winding end 94 and the restricted part 92 enter the channel 16 respectively. Afterwards, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the tension member 20 is rotate counterclockwise as shown in FIG. 6, the tension member 20 has a first slot wall 212 and a second slot wall 214. The first slot wall 212 and the second slot wall 214 are located on both sides of the guide slot 21 respectively. The first slot wall 212 laterally pushes the restricted part 92, so that the restricted part 92 adheres to the circumferential wall 142, and the tension member 20 and the circumferential wall 142 press the restricted part 92 oppositely. As the tension member 20 rotates, the restricted part 92 is actuated away from the channel 16 along the circumferential wall 142 gradually under the frictional traction of the tension member 20, so that the sandpaper 90 is stretched tight and adhering to the first surface 13. The arrangement of the sandpaper 90 is completed, it is easy to mount the sandpaper 90.

As shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, the winding part 94 is located in the second storage chamber 15, that is a feasible demonstration of locating one end of the sandpaper 90 in the second storage chamber 15, and one end of the sandpaper 90 can be located in the second storage chamber 15 the second storage chamber 15 in other forms.

Embodiment 1 with the sandpaper 90 can be arranged in the rotary driving device, so that the sandpaper 90 performs grinding or polishing operation on a workpiece (not shown in the figure). As the operation proceeds, the sandpaper 90 extends and deforms gradually, and the tension of the sandpaper 90 decreases gradually, the sandpaper 90 is further tightened by rotating the tension member 20, restoring the state of adhering to the first surface 13. After the sandpaper 90 is arranged, the tension member 20 can be rotated according to the state of the sandpaper 90 at any time, so as to restore the tight state of the sandpaper 90. When the abrasive particles of the grinding part 96 wear or drop off gradually, the grinding part 96 cannot perform grinding or polishing operation effectively, the sandpaper 90 can be changed to enhance the operation benefit of the sandpaper 90.

As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the tension member 20 has a pushing part 22, so that the pushing part 22 pushes the restricted part 92 to move towards the channel 16, and then the sandpaper 90 can be removed. Furthermore, the tension member 20 has a second surface 23, the second surface 23 is formed on the periphery of the tension member 20, so that the circumferential wall 142 and the second surface 23 oppositely press and localize the restricted part 92. The pushing part 22 is formed at the conjoiner of the second slot wall 214 and the second surface 23, so that the pushing part 22 pushes the restricted part 92 to move towards the channel 16.

To remove the sandpaper 90 from Embodiment 1, the tension member 20 is rotated clockwise as shown in FIG. 8, when the guide slot 21 is opposite to the tail end of the restricted part 92, the suppression of the tension member 20 on the tail end of the restricted part 92 is cancelled. As the tension member 20 rotates continuously, the pushing part 22 can push the restricted part 92 towards the channel 16, and the tight state of the sandpaper 90 adhering to the first surface 13 is cancelled. When the guide slot 21 communicates with the channel 16, the restricted part 92 and the winding part 94 can be removed from the main body 10 through the mounting end 11. The removal of the sandpaper 90 is completed, it is convenient to change the sandpaper 90.

The tension member 20 is located between the baffle 30 and the driven end 12, the baffle 30 stops the tension member 20, so as to localize the tension member 20 on the main body 10. Furthermore, with the arrangement of the baffle 30, the mounting end 11 can form a compass flange 112 in axial direction. The flange 112 is disposed on the periphery of the baffle 30, hereby, the baffle 30 is embedded in the flange 112 for localizing the baffle 30.

Embodiment 1 can include a shaft lever 40 and a bolt 50, wherein the shaft lever 40 axially contacts the driven end 12, so that the shaft lever 40 is configured on the rotary driving device, the rotary driving device can pull the main body 10 to rotate. The bolt 50 axially penetrates the baffle 30 and the tension member 20 is screwed on the shaft lever 40, so as to localize the baffle 30. The bolt 50 has a cap 52, the bolt 50 axially penetrates a washer 60, the washer 60 is sandwiched in between the cap 52 and the baffle 30.

The baffle 30 penetrates a first punch hole 32 coordinating with the bolt 50, the tension member 20 penetrates a second punch hole 24 coordinating with the bolt 50. The bolt 50 axially penetrates the first punch hole 32 and the second punch hole 24 is screwed on the shaft lever 40, hereby, the first punch hole 32, the second punch hole 24 and the bolt 50 can be adapted in radial dimension, and the first punch hole 32, the second punch hole 24, the shaft lever 40 and the bolt 50 are coaxially arranged along the central axis X. Thus, when the bolt 50 axially penetrates the baffle 30 and the tension member 20 is screwed on the shaft lever 40, the tension member 20 centers inside the first storage chamber 14, so as to further enhance the reliability of the tension member 20 clamping the restricted part 92 with the circumferential wall 142.

The driven end 12 forms a joint holder 122 in axial direction, the joint holder 122 forms a polygonal embedding groove 124 in axial direction. The shaft lever 40 is provided with an insert 42 fitting the embedding groove 124. The insert 42 is embedded in the embedding groove 124, so that the shaft lever 40 is axially connected to the driven end 12. The relation between the shaft lever 40 and the driven end 12 can be replaced by integration of the shaft lever 40 and the driven end 12 or connection in other forms.

The tension member 20 forms an operation hole 25 in axial direction, so that a hand tool (not shown in the figure) is embedded in the operation hole 25 to pull the tension member 20 to rotate, so as to enhance the convenience of operating the tension member 20 to rotate. The quantity and shape of the operation hole 25 and the positioning of the operation hole 25 can be changed as required. The figures only show a feasible demonstration, not to limit the technical means disclosed in Embodiment 1.

As shown in FIG. 10, the major difference of Embodiment 2 from Embodiment 1 is that the tension member 20 is provided with a slot 26, the slot 26 extends from the periphery of the tension member 20 into the tension member 20, the tension member forms a third slot wall 262 on one side of the slot 26, the periphery of the tension member 20 forms the second surface 23 and a third surface 27 between the guide slot 21 and the slot 26, so that the circumferential wall 142 and the second surface 23 oppositely press and localize the restricted part 92. The pushing part 22 is formed at the conjoiner of the third slot wall 262 and the third surface 27.

To remove the sandpaper 90 from Embodiment 2, the tension member 20 is rotated clockwise as shown in FIG. 10. When the slot 26 is opposite to the tail end of the restricted part 92, the suppression of the tension member 20 on the tail end of the restricted part 92 is cancelled. As the tension member 20 rotates continuously, the pushing part 22 can push the restricted part 92 towards the channel 16, so as to remove the sandpaper 90.
