At this time, the annular groove (8) for exhausting air downwards, combined with the downward gravity, can make the iron filings on the workpiece fall more easily, and the workpiece rotating with the column block (6) is not easy to fall off the clamping rod (13), thereby improving the safety during the movement; when the driven gear (20) passes over the upper arc-shaped rack (21), the driven gear (15) will sweep over the left arc-shaped rack (17), and the left arc-shaped rack (17) will drive the driven gear (15) to rotate 180° again, thereby driving the column block (6) to rotate and reset, and the workpiece will face downward again, so that the workpiece can be placed on the conveyor belt.

2. A production line robot according to claim 1, characterized in that: The driving unit comprises a driving motor (18) fixedly mounted on a support column (1), the output shaft of the driving motor (18) and the outer wall of the rotating drum (2) are both fixedly connected with a first gear (19), and the two first gears (19) are meshingly connected.

3. A production line robot according to claim 1, characterized in that: The telescopic end of the lifting device (5) is fixedly connected to a boss (31) located in the circular groove (7); the outer wall of the boss (31) is provided with a second brush (32); the upper outer wall of the boss (31) is fixedly connected to a cross bar (33); and the outer wall of the cross bar (33) is rotatably connected to a sleeve (10).
