This facilitates the improvement of assembly efficiency and quality consistency, and is especially suitable for ring gaskets.

[0017] 2. The negative pressure vents are arranged in a ring shape to ensure uniform negative pressure distribution and stable adsorption force, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the gasket gripping and ensuring assembly accuracy.
