As a student you should be able to figure this out by looking at your port connections and following through the logic in your sendtoport triggers:

Yes sir, I know the port connection how to work and it can work sucessfully without the customized robot arm transported flowitem after LD, so I think the problem caused by this part.

Can you give me some advise to help me solve this problem?

Thanks for your respond.

I don't think you do understand what's happening in your model. The ULD is not receiving packed items so it treats everything as a container and sends them out on port 1 which is connected to "container end". If you disconnect the Contaner End object from the Sink you'll see a mix of container and MB objects piled there.

Also - why are you hiding all the shapes? It makes it hard to debug; hard to see and verify the operation and hard to click on objects to see their properties and is clearly tripping you up.
