The invention discloses a multi-color or multi-specification bead output device which comprises a bead supplying mechanism and a switching mechanism. The switching mechanism includes connectors connected to output ends of corresponding guide rods of the bead supplying mechanism, the connectors are provided with output grooves or/and holes used for placing and positioning the output ends of the corresponding guide rods, and transfer structures used for driving the outputs of the corresponding output grooves or/and holes in the connectors or the corresponding guide rods to be matched with the bead positioning structure of a transfer control carrier; or the connectors are selectively provided the transfer structure used for driving the outputs of the output grooves or/and holes in the connectors or the corresponding guide rods to be matched with the corresponding bead positioning structures of the transfer control carrier. Beads are obtained at the corresponding output grooves or/and holes of the connectors and sent to a bead supplying structure to complete transfer of the beads with corresponding specifications or colors; an embroidery machine can continuously select a correspondingbead to match with a bead transfer mechanism according to the control needs so as to change the color or the specification of embroidered bead on fabric.
