The cut corrugated tube 4b is accommodated in the tube accommodating tube portion 20 of the conveying portion main body 18 in a state where it is dropped from the tube cutting device 7b. After that, when the transport unit body 18 slides to the position of the corresponding tube slide 11 (any one of 11a to 11f) and the bottom 21 of the transport unit body 18 is opened, the tube housing cylinder unit 20 The corrugated tube 4b that has been accommodated falls and is transferred to the tube slide 11 by this. After being transferred to the tube slide 11, the corrugated tube 4 b slides down the tube slide 11 and finally stops at the end of the tube slide 11. Thus, the supply of the corrugated tube 4b is completed.

  Note that the three types of tube supply are intermittently performed during the tube supply described below.

  In FIG. 1 and FIG. 5, when a control signal is received from the device control means 10 to supply a thick corrugated tube 4a of a general grade, the tube slide transport device 8a is adjusted in accordance with the position of the tube cutting device 7a in the back row L2. The transfer unit main body 18 slides. The corrugated tube 4a is cut to a predetermined length by the cutting portion after being measured to a predetermined length by the measuring portion of the tube cutting device 7a and after a slit is formed by the slit forming portion. . The cut corrugated tube 4a is accommodated in the tube accommodating cylinder portion 20 of the conveying portion main body 18 in a state of falling from the tube cutting device 7a. After this, the transport unit body 18 slides to the position of the corresponding tube slide 12 (any one of 12a to 12l), and when the bottom 21 of the transport unit body 18 is opened, the tube housing cylinder unit 20 The corrugated tube 4c that has been accommodated falls and is then transferred to the tube slide 11. After being transferred to the tube slide 12, the corrugated tube 4 a slides down the tube slide 12 and finally stops at the end of the tube slide 12. Thus, the supply of the corrugated tube 4a is completed.

  In the rear row L2, the corrugated tube 4a is cut short or long and is transferred to the corresponding tube slide 12. In the back row L2, the corrugated tubes 4a having different lengths are continuously supplied.

  Reference numeral 22 in FIG. 6 indicates a spare tube. The spare tube 22 is disposed above the tube supply means 9 on the shelf 23. For example, even if the tube cutting device 7 stops for some reason, there is an advantage that work interruption can be avoided by using the spare tube 22.
