This mode has small labor intensity and high production efficiency. The transfer mechanism 3 comprises a transfer groove 32 and a transfer pushing assembly 33 which are arranged between the horizontal conveying mechanism 1 and the rotating disc 21. The tubular articles 5 conveyed by the horizontal conveying mechanism 1 enter the transfer groove 32 one by one, and the transfer pushing assembly 33 pushes the tubular articles in the transfer groove 32 to the fixed inserting rods 22, so as to transfer the tubular articles 5 conveyed by the horizontal conveying mechanism 1 to the rotating disc 21 and further convey the tubular articles 5 to the required position through the rotating disc 21.
