[0045] First, the driving shaft of the main lifting drive component 10 of the lifting mechanism 4 drives the corresponding silo 3 to move upward in the vertical direction to a first predetermined height, so as to drive the main lifting drive component 10 to increase in the vertical direction; each time the conduit is taken out of the silo 3, the height of the conduit in the silo 3 will decrease accordingly, and then the auxiliary lifting drive component 11 will drive the first sliding member 91 and the second sliding member 92 of the first sliding assembly 9 in the X-shaped lifting frame 7 to slide relative to each other in the second horizontal direction to realize the increase of the X-shaped lifting frame 7 in the vertical direction, so that the silo 3 moves upward in the vertical direction again to a second predetermined height (i.e., the decreased value of the height of the conduit in the silo 3), so that the height of the conduit in the silo 3 reaches the predetermined material removal height.
[0046] Optionally, the main lifting drive component 10 is one of a cylinder and a linear motor, and the auxiliary lifting drive component 11 is the other of a cylinder and a linear motor.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the second sliding members 92 of the two first sliding assemblies 9 are connected via a connecting plate 25, and the auxiliary driving shaft 111 of the auxiliary lifting driving component 11 is connected to the connecting plate 25 via a connecting block 24, so as to drive the connecting plate 25 to move along the second horizontal direction via the connecting block 24, thereby driving the second sliding member 92 of the first sliding assembly 9 to move along the second horizontal direction relative to the first sliding member 91, so as to realize the lifting movement of the X-shaped lifting frame 7, and finally realize the vertical movement of the silo 3.
[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, the first translation mechanism 5 includes a second sliding assembly 12, and the second sliding assembly 12 includes a third sliding member 121 and a fourth sliding member 122 slidably connected along a first horizontal direction.

[0050] Optionally, the third sliding member 121 is one of a guide rail and a slider, and the fourth sliding member 122 is the other of the guide rail and the slider.

[0053] Specifically, the first driving component 13 is a cylinder. When the catheters in a silo 3 among the multiple silos 3 are taken out, the first driving component 13 drives the fourth sliding member 122 of the first translation mechanism 5 to slide along the first horizontal direction relative to the third sliding member 121, so as to drive the lifting support plate 2 to move along the first horizontal direction to switch other silos 3 loaded with catheters.
[0054] like Figure 2As shown, the second translation mechanism 6 includes a translation support plate 14 and a third sliding assembly 15.

The third sliding assembly 15 includes a fifth sliding member 151 and a sixth sliding member 152 which are relatively slidably connected along a second horizontal direction. The fifth sliding member 151 is connected to the translation support plate 14, and the sixth sliding member 152 is connected to the lifting support plate 2.

[0059] In this way, the second translation mechanism 6 is arranged between the first translation mechanism 5 and the lifting support plate 2. When the multiple material bins 3 are filled with the conduit and move in the vertical direction, the second translation mechanism 6 moves along the second horizontal direction to make the multiple material bins 3 reach the position of the material picking station 18, so that they are in line with the material picking limit plate 20 and cooperate with subsequent mechanisms to pick up materials.
[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, the feeding device also includes a limit block installed on the side of the lifting support plate 2 away from the platform 17, and the limit block is used to contact or separate from the side of the translation support plate 14 away from the platform 17 to limit the movement of the lifting support plate 2 along the second horizontal direction.
[0061] Specifically, the working principle of the feeding device of the utility model is:
[0062] (1) First, the main lifting drive components 10 of each lifting mechanism 4 drive the corresponding silo 3 to move upward in the vertical direction and drive the lifting mechanism 4 to increase in the vertical direction.
[0063] (2) Then, the second driving component 16 of the second translation mechanism 6 drives the sixth sliding member 152 to slide along the second horizontal direction relative to the fifth sliding member 151, so that the lifting support plate 2 moves along the second horizontal direction, so that one of the silos 3 is located at the material picking station 18 for material picking, reaches the material picking station 18 and makes it fit the material picking limit plate 20; the other silos 3 arrive at the waiting station 19 and are located at the waiting station 19 to wait for material picking.
[0064] (3) Each time the conduit is taken away, the height of the conduit in the silo 3 at the material taking station 18 will decrease, and the auxiliary lifting drive component 11 in the X-shaped lifting frame 7 drives the second sliding member 92 of the first sliding assembly 9 to move along the second horizontal direction relative to the first sliding member 91 to increase the height of the X-shaped lifting frame 7, so that the silo 3 moves upward in the vertical direction again, so that the height of the conduit in the silo 3 reaches the predetermined material taking height.
[0065] (4) When the tubes in one of the multiple silos 3 are exhausted, the first translation mechanism 5 moves along the first horizontal direction to switch to other silos 3 loaded with tubes to continue taking materials.
[0066] In summary, the feeding device of the utility model improves the feeding method of medical catheters in the prior art, saves the time and frequency of manual discharge, and the structure of the X-shaped lifting frame 7 in the feeding device of the utility model is stable, and can smoothly realize the lifting and lowering movement of multiple silos 3, solving the problem in the prior art that the number of manual loading times and frequencies are large due to the limited number of infusion tubes in a single catheter storage silo, and a long downtime is required to wait for this process.
