An disassembly and assembly channel for the container truck to travel is formed between the two rows of the disassembly and assembly devices for container lock buttons. Adjacent two disassembly and assembly devices for container lock buttons in the same row can respectively disassemble and assemble two lock buttons on one side of a first standard container. The two disassembly and assembly devices for container lock buttons in the same row and spaced apart can respectively disassemble and assemble two lock buttons on one side of a second standard container or a third standard container. The first standard container is a twenty-foot standard container, the second standard container is a forty-foot standard container, and the third standard container is a forty-five-foot standard container.

8. A disassembly and assembly system using the disassembly and assembly equipment for the container locking button of the automated terminal as described in claim 1, characterized in that, It includes nine disassembly and assembly devices for container lock buttons arranged in three rows and three columns to form a two-way two-channel nine-station lock button disassembly and assembly system. Two disassembly and assembly channels for the container truck to pass through are respectively formed between the rows and columns of the three rows and three columns of the disassembly and assembly devices for container lock buttons. Adjacent two disassembly and assembly devices for container lock buttons in the same row and the same column can respectively disassemble and assemble two lock buttons on one side of a first standard container. The two disassembly and assembly devices for container lock buttons in the same row and spaced apart can respectively disassemble and assemble two lock buttons on one side of a second standard container or a third standard container. The first standard container is a twenty-foot standard container, the second standard container is a forty-foot standard container, and the third standard container is a forty-five-foot standard container.
