When the top block 10 contacts the stop block 27, the electric push rod three 22 drives the piston plate 21 to move to the left side, so that the wafer body 3 and the sealing ring 11 lose the adsorption force, and at the same time the wafer body 3 can slide along the opening 17 to the bottom, and the ball one 19 rolls along the wafer body 3. Finally, the wafer body 3 automatically slides into the placing frame 5. The operator can use the adjusting part 6 to drive the movable frame 2 to move, and use the electric push rod two 12 to push the wafer body 3 to the right side, and adjust the position of the opening 17, so as to facilitate the movement and placement of each wafer body 3 in the placing frame 5.
