In this paper we introduce the notion of pre-simple-minded collection (pre-SMC) of type A in the bounded derived categories Db (Tp) of tube categories Tp of rank p. This provides an effective approach to classify the hearts in Db (Tp). We then use this classification to prove the exchange graph of hearts in Db (Tp) is connnected. Further, we classify the Ext-quivers of hearts in Db (Tp). As an application, we show that the space of Bridgeland stability conditions on Db (Tp) is connected.
