[0025] In this embodiment, specifically: air holes 31 are evenly opened on the diverter pipe 3, and one end of the vacuum connecting pipe 4 away from the vacuum suction cup 5 passes through the air holes 31, so that the air holes 31 are connected to the vacuum connecting pipe 4 to ensure the stable operation of the vacuum suction cup 5.

[0026] In this embodiment, specifically: a sealing cover 32 is clamped on one end of the shunt pipe 3 away from the vacuum main pipe 1 , and the airtightness of the shunt pipe 3 can be effectively guaranteed by the provided sealing cover 32 .
