[0033] It is to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular example embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The terms "comprises", "comprising", "includes", "including" and "has" are inclusive and therefore specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups thereof.

It is also to be understood that additional or alternative steps can be employed.

[0034] Although the terms first, second, third, etc. can be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms can be only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another region, layer or section. Terms such as "first", "second", and other numerical terms when used herein do not connote an order or sequence unless specifically stated, unless context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0040] The suction device 3 is arranged above the feeding device 2. The suction device 3 includes a suction member 31 movable along the vertical direction Z, which is used to suck the tubular pieces G from the hopper 21 and move the tubular pieces G to the first position P1.

[0043] In the embodiment, the carrier 52 can be placed on the line body of each station of the production line and fixed on the line body by a clamp or the like. The carrier 52 is used to carry the tubular piece G to drive the tubular piece G to move between each station of the production line. Since the tubular piece G is relatively soft, in order to reduce the possibility of bending of the tubular piece G in the process of loading the tubular piece G to the carrier 52, in the embodiment, the pin 51 is movably arranged in the carrier 52 along the first direction X and coaxially arranged with the tubular piece G at the second position P2, so that the pin 51 can be inserted into one end of the tubular piece G and drive the tubular piece G to move along the first direction X to move the tubular piece G from the second position P2 to the carrier 52.

[0044] According to the feeding equipment 100 provided in the embodiment, the feeding equipment 100 includes a feeding device 2, a suction device 3, a guide device 4 and a positioning device 5. The feeding device 2 can arrange the tubular pieces G in the hopper 21 in a preset direction through vibration of the vibrator 22. The suction device 3 sucks the tubular pieces G from the hopper 21 through the suction member 31 and moves the tubular pieces G along the vertical direction Z to the first position P1. The guide device 4 clamps the tubular pieces G through the clamping jaw 41 and moves the tubular pieces G along the first direction X from the first position P1 to the second position P2. The positioning device 5 movably arranges the pin 51 in the carrier 52 along the first direction X. The pin 51 is inserted into one end of the tubular piece G and moves the tubular piece G from the second position P2 to the carrier 52. Thus, the feeding equipment 100 of the present application can automatically move the tubular pieces G into the carrier 52 to realize automatic feeding instead of manual feeding, improve production efficiency and reduce labor cost.
