The entrance side hose 9 is desirably a translucent Teflon hose which has a low frictional resistance and allows the conditions inside the hose to be checked. In addition, if the material is made of a soft material such as a Teflon hose, the transport path can be freely adjusted to some extent. However, in the case of a hose made of a soft material, since the rigidity of the hose made of a soft material itself is relatively weak, the hose made of a soft material may be deformed by its own weight due to routing to a place with a high lift or a slight external force, and electronic components may be deformed. There is a possibility that it will hinder the passage of 2. In this case, the reinforcing frame 24 may be used for reinforcement and fixing. Further, a hose made of a soft material may be directly fixed to a facility or the like. Also, a material such as a stainless steel pipe may be bent. Since the outlet side hose 10 is provided with the air release hole 16, the air release hole 16 can be obtained by using a stainless steel pipe that is easily drilled or using a stainless steel contact coil spring by the tension of the contact coil spring. Of course, a Teflon hose or the like may be processed.

In FIG. 1, an electronic component 2 processed by a production facility 25 in a previous process is dropped by a first supply unit 1 by free fall.
Sent to The electronic components 2 dropped on the first belt 3 provided in the first supply unit 1 are lined up one by one at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction by the first supply detection sensor 5 and the first supply hopper 6. And the first roller 4
Is rotated to drive the first belt 3 stretched via the first roller 4 so that the electronic component 2
The pieces enter into a line at regular intervals and are sent to the inlet hose 9. At this time, the entrance side hose 9 is detected by the clogging detection sensor 7.
The flow state of the electronic component 2 at the entrance can be detected, and if the flow of the electronic component in the entrance side hose 9 or the exit side hose 10 is poor and clogging occurs, the driving of the first belt 3 is stopped. And so on. The electronic component 2 is sent to the inlet side hose 9, and air is supplied from the air supply hole 18 provided in the vacuum block 15 of the vacuum generating unit 11 to the component passage hole 19, and from the inlet side hose 9 to the outlet side hose 10.

The electronic component 2 is decelerated by frictional resistance between the inside of the electronic component 2 and the electronic component 2. The electronic component 2 decelerated by the reduction unit 12 is sent to the second supply unit 14 by free fall. Since the first supply unit 1 sends the electronic components 2 to the hose 8 one by one at regular intervals, the electronic components 2 do not come into contact with each other in the hose 8. Here, the second supply unit 1 is detected by the supply amount detection sensor 13.
The amount of the electronic components 2 sent to the first supply unit 4 is detected, and if the electronic components 2 are full, control such as stopping the driving of the first belt 3 provided in the first supply unit 1 is performed. The electronic components 2 are sent to the second supply unit 14 via the hose 8 after the electronic components 2 are aligned one by one at a constant interval in the first supply unit 1 and then sent through the hose 8.
Are sent in a line at a fixed interval one by one. The electronic components 2 dropped on the second belt 20 provided in the second supply unit 14 are arranged in a line at regular intervals one by one in the longitudinal direction by the second supply sensor 22 and the second supply hopper 23. The second belt 2 stretched via the second roller 21 by rotating the second roller 21
By driving 0, the electronic components 2 arranged one by one at regular intervals are sent to the production equipment 26 in the next process.
