Abstract

A waste-tape transport device of the present disclosure is used in a mounting device including a component supply section configured to supply a component from a tape member accommodating multiple components, and a mounting section configured to pick up the supplied component. The waste-tape transport device includes a waste-tape transport section configured to transport a waste-tape member cut after the component is picked up by placing the waste-tape member on a transport surface and deliver the waste-tape member to a waste-tape transport device adjacent in a transport direction of the waste-tape member or a waste-tape collection section, and a blowing section configured to blow gas in a direction along the transport direction onto a transport surface on a lower surface side of the waste-tape transport section.

Claims (27)

1 . A waste-tape transport device used in a mounting device including a component supply section configured to supply a component from a tape member accommodating multiple components, and a mounting section configured to pick up the supplied component, the waste-tape transport device comprising:

a waste-tape transport section configured to transport a waste-tape member cut after the component is picked up by placing the waste-tape member on a transport surface and deliver the waste-tape member to a waste-tape transport device adjacent in a transport direction of the waste-tape member or a waste-tape collection section, the waste-tape transport section being a conveyor with the transport surface and a lower surface below the transport surface; and

a blowing section configured to blow gas onto a transport surface on the lower surface of a downstream side end of the waste-tape transport section in the transport direction of the waste-tape transport section, the blowing section being entirely disposed upstream of the downstream side end of the waste-tape transport section in the transport direction of the waste-tape transport section.

2 . The waste-tape transport device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the blowing section is provided at a position between the waste-tape transport section and an adjacent waste-tape transport section disposed below the waste-tape transport section or a waste-tape collection section.

3 . The waste-tape transport device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the blowing section includes a circulation pipe disposed on a lower surface side of the transport surface of the waste-tape transport section, formed in a direction orthogonal to the transport direction, and circulating gas, and a blowing port formed in the circulation pipe.

4 . The waste-tape transport device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a removal plate disposed on a lower surface side of a transport surface of a downstream side end portion in the transport direction of the waste-tape transport section and contacting the transport surface to remove the waste-tape member; and

a prevention plate disposed on an upper surface side of a transport surface of an upstream side end portion in the transport direction of an adjacent waste-tape transport section and contacting the transport surface to prevent the waste-tape member from entering,

wherein the blowing section is disposed between the removal plate and the prevention plate.

5 . The waste-tape transport device according to claim 4 ,

wherein the blowing section is bonded to the removal plate and the prevention plate.

6 . A mounting device comprising:

a component supply section configured to supply a component from a tape member accommodating multiple components;

a mounting section configured to pick up the supplied component; and

the waste-tape transport device according to claim 1 .

7 . The mounting device according to claim 6 ,

wherein multiple mounting devices are arranged and used in a mounting system configuring a mounting line, and

the waste-tape transport section is configured to, in a case where the multiple mounting devices configure the mounting line, deliver the waste-tape member to a waste-tape transport device adjacent in a transport direction of the waste-tape member or a waste-tape collection section.

8 . A waste-tape transport device used in a mounting device including a component supply section configured to supply a component from a tape member accommodating multiple components, and a mounting section configured to pick up the supplied component, the waste-tape transport device comprising:

a waste-tape transport section configured to transport a waste-tape member cut after the component is picked up by placing the waste-tape member on a transport surface and deliver the waste-tape member to a waste-tape transport device adjacent in a transport direction of the waste-tape member or a waste-tape collection section;

a blowing section configured to blow gas in a direction along the transport direction onto a transport surface on a lower surface side of the waste-tape transport section;

a removal plate disposed on a lower surface side of a transport surface of a downstream side end portion in the transport direction of the waste-tape transport section and contacting the transport surface to remove the waste-tape member; and

a prevention plate disposed on an upper surface side of a transport surface of an upstream side end portion in the transport direction of an adjacent waste-tape transport section and contacting the transport surface to prevent the waste-tape member from entering,

wherein the blowing section is disposed between the removal plate and the prevention plate, and

wherein the blowing section is bonded to the removal plate and the prevention plate.
