A pressing surface 522 corresponding to the pressed surface 514 is provided on the inner diameter of the rotating ring 52.

[0032] In the present invention, the packages unloaded from the transport vehicle are transported to the circular assembly line as a buffer circular transport, waiting for the transfer of the spider arm. The packages transferred one by one by the spider arm will be sensed by the photoelectric signal on the circular cross belt for each package information, and then sorted one by one in sequence. The whole process is achieved without human intervention, directly eliminating the need for package transfer personnel and sorting personnel. The limit rod 33 is moved outward, the limit rod 33 leaves the limit socket 321, and the T-shaped slider 32 is moved up and down to adjust the vertical height of the side suction cup 311. The limit rod 33 is released, and under the elastic force of the second spring 34, the limit rod 33 is reinserted into the limit socket 321 for limiting. The moving ring 44 is moved to make the moving ring 44 leave the gear 43, and the rotating block 41 is rotated to a suitable angle. The moving ring 44 is moved to re-engage with the gear 43, and the rotating ring 52 is rotated. The rotating ring 52 moves toward the guide through the cylinder 51, and at the same time, the pressing surface 522 contacts the pressed surface 514 to make the pressed surface 514 deforms inwardly and presses against the side of the L-shaped rod 45 to limit the L-shaped rod 45. The L-shaped rod 45 is fixed to drive the moving ring 44 to be fixed. The moving ring 44 engages with the gear 43 to limit the angle of the rotating block 41. When the side mounting plate 31 needs to be horizontal, the rotating block 41 is rotated, and the second slide 421 slides in contact with the first slide 241. The horizontal sliding block 24 moves inward. When the side mounting plate 31 is completely horizontal, the top of the second slide 421 contacts the bottom of the first slide 241. Under the action of the elastic force of the first spring 23, the horizontal fixing column 25 is pushed outward. The horizontal sliding block 24 limits the pressure block 42, and the side mounting plate 31 can remain in a horizontal state, thereby increasing the number of flat suction cups.
