[0003] However, it is difficult to accurately read the codes on the mounting plate on the back of the hub or on the back of the spokes, especially it is difficult to determine whether the code is on the upper or lower surface of the lying hub. Therefore, in the traditional method, it is necessary to cooperate with manpower to flip the hub, which is time-consuming and laborious; or it is necessary to use a visual device to first inspect the side of the hub where the QR code is set, and then place the hub on the conveyor belt, which reduces the overall efficiency and increases the equipment cost. On the other hand, in some QR code reading devices, the device for reading the QR code is set below the hub, usually below the conveyor belt; at this time, the hub is easily dropped on the reading device due to impurities such as cutting fluid and aluminum chips adhered to the previous process, which pollutes the equipment and affects the service life of the equipment and the reading effect.
