Abstract

A suction nozzle includes a suction pad portion at a tip of an air pipe formed to be larger than the air pipe, in which a resistance cavity which causes resistance and decreases air flow speed when a positive pressure is applied is formed between a flow path and a cavity portion. In the suction nozzle, since the resistance cavity is formed, a positive pressure is applied by the air whose flow speed is suppressed and the suction release of the component is performed. The resistance cavity may be a cavity having a slit shape.

Claims (14)

1. A suction nozzle used in a mounting device for mounting a component on a board, comprising:

an air pipe; and

a suction pad portion which has a flow path communicating with the air pipe, has a cavity portion between the suction pad portion and the component, abuts on the component, and is formed to be larger than the air pipe at a tip of the air pipe,

wherein a resistance cavity which causes resistance and decreases air flow speed when a positive pressure is applied is formed between the flow path and the cavity portion,

wherein the resistance cavity includes a first cavity having a slit shape which has a width smaller than a size of the flow path and a length longer than a size of the flow path, and a second cavity formed on a side of the cavity portion, the second cavity having a slit shape which has a sectional area larger than that of the first cavity, and

wherein the length and width are perpendicular to the flow path in the air pipe.

2. The suction nozzle according to claim 1 ,

wherein the resistance cavity is a cavity having a slit shape which has a width smaller than a size of the flow path and a length longer than a size of the flow path.

3. The suction nozzle according to claim 1 ,

wherein the resistance cavity is a cavity having a wall section in a direction orthogonal to a flowing direction of air in the flow path and one or more of the cavity portions communicate with the wall section.

4. The suction nozzle according to claim 1 ,

wherein the resistance cavity has a sectional area in a range of 110% to 120% of a sectional area of the flow path.

5. The suction nozzle according to claim 1 ,

wherein the suction pad portion has a rectangular suction surface, the cavity portion formed in the suction pad portion has a flat plate shape.
