SCRAP RECOVERY DEVICE AND SCRAP RECOVERY METHOD

To provide a scrap recovery device and a scrap recovery method that can prevent scraps of a tape member from flowing back toward a tape feeder to certainly recover the scraps.SOLUTION: A scrap recovery device comprises: receiving parts 42 that receive scraps KZ of a carrier tape discharged from a tape feeder from scrap receiving openings 42K; and recovery passages 41 that communicate with the inside of the receiving parts 42 through communication ports 41K. The receiving part 42 includes therein an air blower 51 that blows air toward the communication port 41K, and a partition member 61. The partition member 61 is provided to partition the inside of the receiving part 42 into a lower area SP1 where the scrap receiving opening 42 is present and an upper area SP2 where the air blower 51 is present and narrow a flow channel of air blown from the air blower 51 toward the communication port 41K from the air blower 51 toward the communication port 41K.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7 【課題】テープ部材の切屑がテープフィーダ側に逆流することを防止して切屑を確実に回収することができる切屑回収装置および切屑回収方法を提供することを目的とする。【解決手段】切屑回収装置が、テープフィーダから排出されるキャリアテープの切屑ＫＺを切屑受容開口４２Ｋから受容する受容部４２と、連通口４１Ｋを通じて受容部４２の内部と連通する回収路４１を備える。受容部４２内には、連通口４１Ｋに向かってエアを吹き出すエア吹出し器５１と、仕切り部材６１を備える。仕切り部材６１は、受容部４２の内部を切屑受容開口４２Ｋ側の下側領域ＳＰ１とエア吹出し器５１側の上側領域ＳＰ２とに仕切るとともに、エア吹出し器５１から連通口４１Ｋに向かって吹き出されるエアの流路をエア吹出し器５１から連通口４１Ｋに向かって狭めるように設けられる。【選択図】図７
