[0026] The lifting plate 15 is rotatably connected with a turnover plate 29 opposite to the second conveying mechanism, a second motor 30 is installed on the bottom of the lifting plate 15, a drive shaft 31 is fixed to the output end of the second motor 30, and two drive rods 32 for driving the turnover plate 29 to rotate are fixed on the drive shaft 31.

[0027] The turnover plate 29 can turn over the rubber sealing ring, and is pushed to the first conveying mechanism by a pushing mechanism. The base 1 is provided with a mounting frame 2, and the mounting frame 2 is capable of reciprocating between the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism. When the camera 26 is opposite to the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism, the camera 26 is opposite to the rubber sealing ring, and the appearance of the front surface and the back surface of the rubber sealing ring can be collected.
