The first support roller group 130 is used to transport the train wheels into the turning chamber 140, and the second support roller group 120 is used to transport the train wheels out of the turning chamber 140.

[0040] When it is necessary to flip the train wheel, the conveyor belt conveys the train wheel to the inlet and outlet 180.

[0044] The first left support roller group 131 and the first right support roller group 132 are symmetrically arranged. The first left support roller group 131 includes multiple first left support rollers 1311. No less than two first driven gears 13111 are arranged on the first left support roller 1311. Two adjacent first left support rollers 1311 are connected by a chain. When one first left support roller 1311 rotates, it can drive all the first left support rollers 1311 to rotate.
