[0016] A pipe selection mechanism 9 is provided above the front half of the pipe groove 8, which is drivingly connected to the fifth lifting mechanism, and a hoisting mechanism 13 is provided on the top of the pipe selection mechanism 9; a limiting pressure plate 7 is provided above the rear half of the pipe groove 8, which is drivingly connected to the sixth lifting mechanism.

[0017] The front end of the tube groove 8 is provided with an alignment mechanism 10, which is connected to the second sliding mechanism to drive the alignment mechanism 10 to extend into each slot in the tube groove 8 to align the front ends of the elongated hoses. A sensor is provided in the tube groove 8 corresponding to the position of each elongated hose.

[0018] The pipe groove 8 and the alignment mechanism 10 provided at the front end of the pipe groove 8 are installed on a support plate 14 . A pipe arrangement mechanism 11 is provided at the front end of the support plate 14 , and a moving mechanism 12 is provided at the bottom of the support plate 14 .

[0019] The tube selection mechanism 9 comprises a mounting plate 9.1, on the bottom surface of which two guide rails 9.2 are mounted, on which sliders 9.4 arranged in pairs are slidably connected, and the sliders 9.4 arranged in pairs are distributed at equal distances along the guide rails 9.2, and a connecting piece 9.8 is bridged between the two sliders 9.4 arranged in pairs, on which a motor 9.7 is mounted, and an output end of the motor 9.7 is drivingly connected to a gear 9.5, and the gear 9.5 is meshed with a rack 9.3, and the rack 9.3 is located between the two guide rails 9.2 and is arranged parallel to the two guide rails 9.2, and a tube taking clamp 9.6 is mounted at the bottom of each connecting piece 9.8, and the number and position of the tube taking clamp 9.6 correspond to the slot positions of a plurality of slender hoses arranged in the tube slot 8.

[0020] Working process of this utility model:

[0021] 1. Put a large number of slender hoses 1 into the slender hose material box 2 manually. When putting them in, try to arrange the hoses neatly, but it is not required that the ends of the hoses are completely aligned. It is also allowed that a small number of hoses are tilted against each other;

[0022] Second, the first lifting mechanism controls the tube pressing plate 5 to press the tube downward, and the second lifting mechanism controls the tube combing frame 6 to move downward so that its toothed plate is inserted into the tube below, and combs the slender hose 1 from back to front; after combing, the tube pressing plate 5 and the tube combing frame 6 are lifted;

[0023] 3. The third lifting mechanism drives the vacuum suction nozzle group 3 to descend, and through the vacuum suction principle, randomly sucks the slender hose 1 in the slender hose material box 2, and lifts the vacuum suction nozzle group 3. At this time, the slender hose 1 will be sucked and lifted by the vacuum suction nozzle group 3; this suction action can be repeated 2 to 3 times to increase the success rate of sucking the tube; after repeating the action, it does not matter if there are still suction nozzles that have not sucked the thin tube, because the number of suction nozzles here is designed to be more than the required amount of tube material to be taken at one time;

[0024] Fourth, the fourth lifting mechanism drives the tube gripper group 4 to clamp the adsorbed elongated hose 1 and pull it forward through the first sliding mechanism to place it in the corresponding groove on the tube groove 8; the sixth lifting mechanism drives the limiting pressing plate 7 to descend to cover the elongated hose 1 in each groove;

[0025] Fifth, the second sliding mechanism drives the alignment mechanism 10 to move into the tube groove to align the end of the slender hose 1; after the end of the slender hose 1 is aligned, the limiting pressure plate 7 and the alignment mechanism 10 return to their original positions;

[0026] Sixth, there is a sensor at the position corresponding to each tube under the tube slot 8 to detect whether a slender hose 1 is fed into the slot;

[0027] 6. Control the tube-taking air gripper 9.6 on the tube-selecting mechanism 9 to pick up the required number of slender hoses 1 from the slots, and send them forward to the tube-discharging mechanism 11 through the hoisting mechanism 13. Then the moving mechanism 12 drives the tube-discharging mechanism 11 to send the neatly arranged slender hoses 1 to the required positions of the subsequent processes;

[0028] At this point, the automatic sorting and arranging process of the long and thin hoses is completed.

[0029] In the next cycle, for the positions where the slender hoses 1 are still stored in the tube groove 8 , the suction nozzles corresponding to the vacuum suction nozzle group 3 will no longer perform suction, so as to avoid the phenomenon of the slender hoses 1 being stacked in the tube groove 8 .
