Suction nozzle and component mounting machine

A suction nozzle which is held on a mounting head of a component mounting machine that sucks and mounts a supplied component to an object, comprising:

• a nozzle section that sucks the component is swingably provided on a nozzle holder section which is held on the mounting head, and an orientation of the nozzle section is changed by 90° to a downward orientation or a lateral orientation by swinging the nozzle section, and
• at least one magnet which holds the nozzle section by magnetic force in the state of being set in the downward orientation and in the state of being set in the lateral orientation respectively,
• wherein the nozzle section sucks the component from above in a state in which the orientation of the nozzle section is the downward orientation in a component suction operation, and the component is mounted on the object in a state in which the orientation of the component that is sucked by the nozzle section is set to the lateral orientation by the nozzle section the orientation of which is changed by 90° to the lateral orientation by swinging the nozzle section in the component mounting operation, and
• wherein the magnet functions as a stopper which limits a swingable range of the nozzle section to 90°.

A suction nozzle which is held on a mounting head of a component mounting machine that sucks and mounts a supplied component to an object, comprising:

• a nozzle section that sucks the component is swingably provided on a nozzle holder section which is held on the mounting head, and an orientation of the nozzle section is changed by 90° to a downward orientation or a lateral orientation by swinging the nozzle section,
• wherein the nozzle section sucks the component from above in a state in which the orientation of the nozzle section is the downward orientation in a component suction operation, and the component is mounted on the object in a state in which the orientation of the component that is sucked by the nozzle section is set to the lateral orientation by the nozzle section the orientation of which is changed by 90° to the lateral orientation by swinging the nozzle section in the component mounting operation,
• wherein the orientation of the nozzle section is caused to be changed by 90° by moving the nozzle section horizontally or downwardly while contacting the nozzle section on a nozzle orientation change member which is provided in the component mounting machine when the orientation of the nozzle section is caused to be changed by 90°, and
• wherein an elastically deformable buffer member is provided on a portion of the nozzle section on which the nozzle orientation change member contacts.

A component mounting machine, comprising:

• a mounting head
• a suction nozzle held on the mounting head, the suction nozzle configured to suck and mount a supplied component to an object, the suction nozzle including a nozzle holder section held on the mounting head, and a nozzle section configured to suck the component and swingably provided on the nozzle holder section, and an orientation of the nozzle section is configured to be changed by 90° to a downward orientation or a lateral orientation by swinging the nozzle section;
• a motor configured to move the suction nozzle down;
• a camera configured to image from below the component from below which is sucked by the nozzle section;
• an image processing device configured to process the image captured by the camera and configured to recognize the component;
• and
• a control device configured to
• control the nozzle section to suck the component from above in a state in which the orientation of the nozzle section is the downward orientation in a component suction operation,
• control the nozzle section to swing by 90° to change the orientation of the component sucked by the nozzle section to the lateral orientation,
• control the camera to image the component in the lateral orientation from below,
• control the image processing device to process the image of the component in the lateral orientation to calculate an amount of deviation of a component suction position of the component sucked by the nozzle section, and
• control the suction nozzle to mount the component in the lateral orientation on the object based on the amount of deviation calculated by the image processing device in a component mounting operation, wherein the motor moves the suction nozzle down to a height position at which the component in the lateral orientation sucked by the nozzle section is pressed on the object.
