[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the scope described herein.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1-3A directional flexible feeding device includes a frame 3. A flexible feeding system 1 is mounted on the platform of the frame 3. The flexible feeding system 1 is particularly suitable for delicate parts with complex geometry, sensitive materials and surfaces prone to wear, or parts only a few millimeters or smaller in size. A positioning feeding system 2 is provided at one end of the flexible feeding system 1. The flexible feeding system 1 includes a linear vibrating feeder 102, on which a hopper 101 is mounted. A flexible vibrating disk assembly for achieving a specific posture for the part is located at the end of the hopper 101.
