Partitioned Work Line Mounting Device for Safety and Productivity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In existing electronic component mounting devices, when a door portion is opened for operator access, all work lines are stopped, compromising safety but significantly reducing workability.
Innovation Solution
The device includes a partition member to create separate work line storing spaces, allowing individual work lines to operate independently, with door open/close detection and stop mechanisms to halt only the accessible work line's operation when a door is opened, while maintaining others' functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If all work lines are stopped when a door portion is opened, then operator safety is ensured, but workability is significantly reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting device is divided into multiple independent work line storing spaces (first space and second space) separated by a partition member. Each space can be accessed and controlled independently through separate door portions, allowing one work line to be stopped for safety while others continue operating, thus resolving the contradiction between safety and productivity
Solution Approach 2:
The control system dynamically adjusts the operation state of different work lines based on door opening status. When a door is opened, only the corresponding work line in that specific space is stopped, while other work lines in different spaces continue to operate,实现ing dynamic safety control without sacrificing overall productivity
2Ease of operation
If multiple door portions are provided for accessing different work lines, then individual access is enabled, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The internal space is segmented into multiple work line storing spaces with individual door portions, allowing operators to access only the required work line without affecting others. This segmented design provides individual access while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure through modular organization

AI summary
An object of the invention is to provide an electronic component mounting device and a work method of the electronic component mounting device, capable of ensuring safety of an operator who accesses a work line through a door portion, and avoiding reduction of workability. A space defined by a base (11) and a cover member (14) is partitioned by a partition member (15) to define a plurality of work line storing spaces (SP1). A plurality of work lines (12) are stored in the respective work line storing spaces (SP1) individually. When any of a plurality of door portions (14a) provided in the cover member (14) so as to allow an access to an inside of the respective work line storing spaces (SP1) is opened, an operation of a work line (12) stored in a work line storing space (SP1) accessible through the opened door portion (14a) is stopped.
