ABSTRACT:
A component conveying device is provided in which a lead component and a second component behind the lead component can be reliably separated and the lead component can be readily extracted with reduced error. The device includes a guide groove 6 for guiding and aligning the components P in a single line. A blade 5 is provided which moves back and forth in the groove. The components P are conveyed forward by moving the blade 5 forward at a low speed and then moving the blade backward in a high speed. A first stopper 31 holds a second component at the distal end of the device. A second stopper 41 stops the lead component P1 from moving back and forth, and a shutter 43 includes a magnet 49 for attracting the lead component. The second stopper is provided at a distal end portion of the guide groove 6. After the first stopper 31 holds the second component P2, the blade 5 moves forward by a predetermined distance, thereby conveying the lead component P1 forward with the blade 5 while the lead component P1 is attracted and held by the magnet 49 of the shutter 43. Thus, the lead component P1 is separated from the second component P2. Further, extraction of the lead component can be made easier by pulling the magnet 49 away from the lead component P1 just before the completion of the forward movement of the blade 5.
