The invention relates to a ball mill, and specifically relates to a swinging type ball mill. The swinging type ball mill comprises a motor, a base, a supporting frame body arranged on the base, and a ball milling barrel body arranged on the supporting frame body. According to the swinging type ball mill, the ball milling barrel body can perform multi-dimensional swinging along a circular track, so that materials and milling bodies can circumferentially move along the inner wall of the ball milling barrel body under the effect of centrifugal force and the inertia effect and can also axially reciprocate along the ball milling barrel body, and as a result, the stroke distance of the milling bodies can be greatly increased and the distribution uniformity of the milling bodies can be improved on the premise that the diameter of the ball milling barrel body remains, and the impact force as well as the milling uniformity of the milling bodies to the materials can be improved; meanwhile, the materials act on a milling layer while moving along the inner wall of the ball milling barrel body, so that the milling efficiency can be further improved. Compared with a traditional horizontal ball mill, the swinging type ball mill has the advantage that the ball milling efficiency is increased by being more than 25%.
