Electronic component conveyance machine

An electronic component conveyance machine comprising:

• a conveyance table including a plurality of accommodation through holes in which electronic components are to be accommodated;
• a base including a plurality of air discharge outlets facing the conveyance table;
• a discharge unit including:
• a plurality of classification holes that are located on an opposite side from the plurality of air discharge outlets via the conveyance table;
• at least one collection path that is connected to the plurality of classification holes;
• and
• a guide unit that guides the electronic components having been discharged from the plurality of accommodation through holes and having passed through the plurality of classification holes due to air discharged from the plurality of air discharge outlets, to the at least one collection path;
• and
• a plurality of guide lines that are connected to collection discharge outlets of the plurality of collection paths, respectively, and that guide the electronic components sent from the plurality of collection paths through the collection discharge outlets, to a subsequent stage, wherein:
• the air is discharged from the plurality of air discharge outlets so that the electronic components are blown to collide against the guide unit, and
• the guide unit decelerates and guides the electronic components to the at least one collection path as a result of collision with the electronic components;
• and
• an air discharge control unit that controls discharge of air from the plurality of air discharge outlets, wherein:
• the discharge unit includes the plurality of collection paths and the plurality of guide units associated with the plurality of collection paths, respectively,
• each of the plurality of collection paths is connected to two or more classification holes, so that the electronic components pass through the two or more classification holes and move toward the guide units,
• each of the plurality of guide units has one or more guide surfaces that guide the electronic components having passed through the two or more classification holes toward each of the plurality of collection paths and that are located at same distance from the two or more classification holes, respectively,
• the one or more guide surfaces have surface angles such that the electronic components having passed through the two or more classification holes enter the one or more guide surfaces at the same angle of incidence,
• each of the plurality of collection paths has a collection wall, which has slopes downwardly extending toward the collection discharge outlet, so that the electronic components guided by one or more of the guide units land on the collection wall, and
• each of the plurality of collection paths is configured so that the electronic components from the collection wall move under gravity toward the collection discharge outlet and enter a corresponding guide line of the plurality of guide lines through the collection discharge outlet.
