Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A mounting target working device includes a mounting target holding unit that holds a mounting target. The mounting target holding unit includes a lift mechanism that moves the mounting target in an upward-downward direction, a tilt mechanism attached to the lift mechanism and that tilts the mounting target, and a rotation mechanism attached to the tilt mechanism and that rotates the mounting target. The rotation mechanism is supported in a cantilever manner by the tilt mechanism.

First claim

What is claimed is: 1. A mounting target working device comprising: a mounting target holder configured to hold a three-dimensional shape mounting target including a tilted surface on which an electrical component is mounted and having a three-dimensional shape, the mounting target holder including: a holder configured to hold the three-dimensional shape mounting target; a lift mechanism configured to move the three-dimensional shape mounting target held by the holder in an upward-downward direction; a tilt mechanism attached to the lift mechanism and configured to tilt the three-dimensional shape mounting target held by the holder; and a rotation mechanism attached to the tilt mechanism and configured to rotate the three-dimensional shape mounting target held by the holder, and the rotation mechanism is supported in a cantilever manner by the tilt mechanism; and a working portion includes a plurality of working heads linearly arrayed; the plurality of working heads are configured to perform work when a mounting target surface of the three-dimensional shape mounting target is configured to extend in a direction substantially parallel to an array direction of the plurality of working heads. 2. The mounting target working device according to claim 1 , wherein: the tilt mechanism is supported in a cantilever manner by the lift mechanism. 3. The mounting target working device according to claim 2 , wherein: the tilt mechanism is supported in the cantilever manner by the lift mechanism in a horizontal direction, and the rotation mechanism is supported in the cantilever manner by the tilt mechanism in the horizontal direction. 4. The mounting target working device according to claim 3 , wherein: the lift mechanism, the tilt mechanism, and the rotation mechanism are disposed such that a first attachment direction of the tilt mechanism with respect to the lift mechanism and a second attachment direction of the rotation mechanism with respect to the tilt mechanism are substantially perpendicular to each other in a planar view. 5. The mounting target working device according to claim 2 , wherein: a first distance between the lift mechanism and the tilt mechanism in a first attachment direction of the tilt mechanism with respect to the lift mechanism is shorter than a second distance that the lift mechanism can move the three-dimensional shape mounting target in the upward-downward direction, and a third distance between the lift mechanism and the rotation mechanism in a second attachment direction of the rotation mechanism with respect to the tilt mechanism is shorter than the second distance that the lift mechanism can move the three-dimensional shape mounting target in the upward-downward direction. 6. The mounting target working device according to claim 1 , wherein: the holder of the mounting target holder is configured to hold the three-dimensional shape mounting target via a placement member on which the three-dimensional shape mounting target is placed. 7. The mounting target working device according to claim 6 , wherein: the placement member includes a placement portion and a single held portion, and the holder of the mounting target holder is configured to hold the three-dimensional shape mounting target via the placement portion by grasping the held portion. 8. The mounting target working device according to claim 1 , wherein: the tilt mechanism of the mounting target holder is configured to tilt the three-dimensional shape mounting target by rotating the three-dimensional shape mounting target about an axis that extends in a direction substantially parallel to an array direction of the plurality of working heads. 9. The mounting target working device according to claim 3 , wherein: a first distance between the lift mechanism and the tilt mechanism in a first attachment direction of the tilt mechanism with respect to the lift mechanism is shorter than a second distance that the lift mechanism can move the three-dimensional shape mounting target in the upward-downward direction, and a third distance between the lift mechanism and the rotation mechanism in a second attachment direction of the rotation mechanism with respect to the tilt mechanism is shorter than the second distance that the lift mechanism can move the three-dimensional shape mounting target in the upward-downward direction. 10. The mounting target working device according to claim 4 , wherein: a first distance between the lift mechanism and the tilt mechanism in a first attachment direction of the tilt mechanism with respect to the lift mechanism is shorter than a second distance that the lift mechanism can move the three-dimensional shape mounting target in the upward-downward direction, and a third distance between the lift mechanism and the rotation mechanism in a second attachment direction of the rotation mechanism with respect to the tilt mechanism is shorter than the second distance that the lift mechanism can move the three-dimensional shape mounting target in the upward-downward direction. 11. The mounting target working device according to claim 2 , wherein: the holder of the mounting target holder is configured to hold the three-dimensional shape mounting target via a placement member on which the three-dimensional shape mounting target is placed. 12. The mounting target working device according to claim 3 , wherein: the holder of the mounting target holder is configured to hold the three-dimensional shape mounting target via a placement member on which the three-dimensional shape mounting target is placed. 13. The mounting target working device according to claim 4 , wherein: the holder of the mounting target holder is configured to hold the three-dimensional shape mounting target via a placement member on which the three-dimensional shape mounting target is placed. 14.
