At the same time, when the conveying belt 333 rotates to move the workpiece, the cooperation of the driving gear 337 and the driving ring gear 336 will drive the magnetic ring composed of multiple strong magnetic columns 335 to rotate synchronously, avoiding the obstruction of material movement caused by adsorption.
