Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A component mounting device comprises a mounting head being configured to mount a component from a carrier tape onto a substrate, a component supply unit being configured to convey the carrier tape, a holder, and a carrier tape holding device providing a first storage space in communication with the holder. The carrier tape holding device is configured to perform operations comprising: holding the carrier tape that, when conveyed by the component supply unit, is pulled out from a tape roll body stored in the first storage space, having a tape roll body for replenishment stored in the holder; and receiving the tape roll body for replenishment from the holder when the carrier tape of the tape roll body for replenishment is conveyed by the component supply unit.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A component mounting device comprising: a mounting head being configured to mount a component from a carrier tape onto a substrate, a component supply unit being configured to convey the carrier tape, a holder, and a carrier tape holding device providing a first storage space in communication with the holder, the carrier tape holding device being configured to perform operations comprising: holding the carrier tape that, when conveyed by the component supply unit, is pulled out from a tape roll body stored in the first storage space, having a tape roll body for replenishment stored in the holder; and receiving the tape roll body for replenishment from the holder when the carrier tape of the tape roll body for replenishment is conveyed by the component supply unit. 2 . The component mounting device according to claim 1 , wherein the tape roll body formed by winding the carrier tape in roll shape with no core. 3 . The component mounting device according to claim 1 , wherein the holder has a case shape and includes a second storage space and an opening, the second storage space being for storing the tape roll body for replenishment, the opening being for taking in and out the tape roll body for replenishment to and from the second storage space. 4 . The component mounting device according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier tape holding device includes: a bottom portion that supports the tape roll body from below, and a pair of side wall portions rising from both sides of the bottom portion; and the bottom portion and the pair of side wall portions form the first storage space. 5 . A method for operating a component mounting device comprising: a mounting head being configured to mount a component from a carrier tape onto a substrate, a component supply unit being configured to convey the carrier tape, a holder, and a carrier tape holding device providing a storage space in communication with the holder, the method comprising: holding the carrier tape that, when conveyed by the component supply unit, is pulled out from a tape roll body stored in the storage space; having a tape roll body for replenishment stored in the holder; and receiving the tape roll body for replenishment from the holder when the carrier tape of the tape roll body for replenishment is conveyed by the component supply unit.
