Abstract

An object of the invention is to provide an electronic component mounting device and a work method of the electronic component mounting device, capable of ensuring safety of an operator who accesses a work line through a door portion, and avoiding reduction of workability. A space defined by a base ( 11 ) and a cover member ( 14 ) is partitioned by a partition member ( 15 ) to define a plurality of work line storing spaces (SP 1 ). A plurality of work lines ( 12 ) are stored in the respective work line storing spaces (SP 1 ) individually. When any of a plurality of door portions ( 14 a ) provided in the cover member ( 14 ) so as to allow an access to an inside of the respective work line storing spaces (SP 1 ) is opened, an operation of a work line ( 12 ) stored in a work line storing space (SP 1 ) accessible through the opened door portion ( 14 a ) is stopped.

Claims (19)

1. An electronic component mounting device comprising:

a base;

a cover member provided to cover an upper side of the base;

a partition member configured to partition a space defined by the base and the cover member so as to define a plurality of work line storing spaces;

a plurality of work lines which are stored in the respective work line storing spaces individually and which are configured to perform a work related to mount of electronic component to a board independently of one another;

a plurality of door portions provided in the cover member so as to allow an access to an inside of the respective work line storing spaces individually;

door open/close detection means for detecting open or close of each of the plurality of door portions; and

work line stop means for stopping, when the open of any of the plurality of door portions is detected by the door open/close detection means, an operation of a work line stored in a work line storing space accessible through the door portion of which the open is detected,

wherein the partition member partitions the space defined by the base and the cover member so as to define a bypass conveying path storing space, and

wherein a bypass conveying path is stored in the bypass conveying path storing space, the bypass conveying path being configured to convey the board from an upstream side to a down stream side without performing the work related to mount of electronic component.

2. A work method of an electronic component mounting device, the electronic component mounting device in which a plurality of work lines configured to perform a work related to mount of electronic component to a board independently of one another are provided in a space defined by a base and a cover member provided to cover an upper side of the base, in which the space defined by the base and the cover member is partitioned by a partition member so as to define a plurality of work line storing spaces, and in which the plurality of work lines are stored in the respective work line storing spaces individually,

said work method comprising:

a step of executing the work related to mount of electronic component to the board by the plurality of work lines concurrently; and

a step of stopping, when any of a plurality of door portions provided in the cover member so as to allow an access to an inside of the respective work line storing spaces is opened, an operation of a work line stored in a work line storing space accessible through the opened door portion,

wherein when the operation of the work line stored in the work line storing space accessible through the opened door portion is stopped, the rest of the plurality of work lines is enabled to execute the work related to mount of electronic component to the board.

3. The work method of an electronic component mounting device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the partition member partitions the space defined by the base and the cover member so as to define a bypass conveying path storing space,

wherein a bypass conveying path is stored in the bypass conveying path storing space, the bypass conveying path being configured to convey the board from an upstream side to a down stream side without performing the work related to mount of electronic component, and

wherein even when any of the plurality of door portions is opened, an operation of the bypass conveying path is not stopped.
