However, in the screen cleaning device described in Patent Document 1, when the take-up roll is attached to and removed from the screen cleaning device, the movable support member is retracted against the urging force of the spring, and the state is maintained in the take-up state. The roll needs to be fitted and detached from the fixed support member, which is troublesome. Further, when operating the movable support member, the operator's hand is difficult to enter, and workability may be poor.
The present invention has been made against the background of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a screen cleaning device in which a winding roll for winding a wiping sheet can be easily attached and detached.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a screen cleaning device that wipes and cleans a screen printing machine screen with a wiping sheet, and rotates (a) the device main body and (b) the device main body.

The two supporting rotating bodies can also serve as a positioning device. However, as will be described later, it is often possible to reduce the apparatus cost by supporting each supported rotating body by one supporting rotating body and separately providing a positioning device.
The two portions separated in the axial direction of the take-up roll may be both ends of the take-up roll, or at least one of them may be a portion inside the end. In the former case, for example, the winding roll can have the same length as the width of the wiping sheet, and waste is small. Further, at least one positioning member for positioning the wiping sheet in the axial direction of the winding roll may be provided on the winding roll so as to be movable in the axial direction. In the latter case, two supported rotating bodies are respectively provided at two positions on the winding roll that are separated by the same distance as the width of the wiping sheet, and are used for winding a plurality of types of wiping sheets having different widths. Common winding rolls that are the same can be used. In this case, at least one of the two supported rotating bodies may be provided so as to be relatively movable in the axial direction of the winding roll, and may be positioned at a position corresponding to the width of the wiping sheet.
The wiping sheet supply device may be configured such that the supply roll around which the wiping sheet is wound is supported in the same manner as the winding roll, or the sheet storage member in which the wiping sheet is folded and stored is detachable. The apparatus by which a wiping sheet | seat is pulled out from a sheet | seat accommodating member may be sufficient.
The drive rotator may be a gear, and may be a rotator having a circular cross section in which at least the outer peripheral surface is a high friction coefficient layer.
If both of the supporting rotating bodies corresponding to each of the pair of supported rotating bodies are driving rotating bodies, rotational torque can be transmitted to the winding roll at two portions separated in the axial direction. Is more stable but not essential.

  In attaching the winding roll to the apparatus main body in the screen cleaning apparatus according to the present invention, the pair of supported rotating bodies of the winding roll are respectively supported by the supporting rotating bodies, and when releasing the support, the supporting rotating bodies What is necessary is just to separate from. The positioning device positions the supported rotating body in a state of being supported by the corresponding supporting rotating body, and in that positioning state, a force in one direction perpendicular to the axis of the winding roll is applied to the winding roll. In such a case, the take-up roll is allowed to be detached from the apparatus main body. That is, as in the above-described conventional apparatus, when the supported rotating body is supported by the supporting rotating body and separated, the movable support member does not have to be retracted against the biasing force of the spring, and there is no trouble. Further, when operating the movable support member, the operator's hand is difficult to enter and the work is not difficult, and the take-up roll can be easily and quickly attached to and detached from the apparatus main body.

The combination is equivalent to claim 4, the claim (9) is equivalent to claim 5, and the combination of terms (10) and (11) is equivalent to claim 6.

(1) A screen cleaning device that wipes and cleans a screen printing machine screen with a wiping sheet,
The device body,
In the apparatus main body, a pair of supported rotating bodies provided in two portions separated in the axial direction of a winding roll that is rotatably held around the rotation axis and winds up the wiping sheet, At least two support rotators in contact and support;
Each of the supported rotating bodies held by the apparatus main body is positioned in a state of being supported by the corresponding supporting rotating bodies, and in the positioning state, the winding roll is orthogonal to the winding roll axis. A positioning device that allows the winding roll to be detached from the device body when a unidirectional force is applied;
A wiping sheet supply device that is held by the apparatus body and supplies the wiping sheet;
A pair of supported rotating bodies provided in two portions of the at least two supporting rotating bodies separated in the axial direction of the take-up roll. A screen cleaning device that corresponds to at least one of the above is a drive rotating body that transmits rotational torque to at least one of which, and the drive rotating body is rotated by the rotation driving device.
(2) There are two support rotating bodies, and the positioning device is
A total of two pairs of positioning rollers in contact with each outer peripheral surface of each of the supported rotating bodies;
A fixed mounting device in which one of each pair of positioning rollers is fixedly mounted to the device main body to be a fixed positioning roller;
A movable attachment device that attaches the other of the pair of positioning rollers to the device main body so as to be movable in a substantially radial direction of the supported rotating body to be a movable positioning roller;
An urging device that urges the movable positioning roller toward the supported rotating body, and among the supporting rotating body, the fixed positioning roller, and the movable positioning roller, each other in a circumferential direction of the supported rotating body The screen cleaning apparatus according to item (1), wherein the sum of any two angular intervals between adjacent two is greater than 180 degrees.
The supported rotating body fulfills the function of a wedge when supported by the supporting rotating body, and the movable positioning roller can be separated from the supported rotating body against the biasing force of the biasing device and can enter between the fixed positioning roller. In the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis between the support rotating body, the fixed positioning roller, and the movable positioning roller by the biasing force of the biasing device. It is kept positioned. In addition, since these two supported rotating bodies are all larger than 180 degrees, the sum of any two angular intervals between the two adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction of the supported rotating body is larger than the supported rotating body. Unless a force exceeding the urging force of the urging device is applied, the supported rotator is prevented from being separated from the support rotator, and the supported rotator is supported by the support rotator. This positioning device also functions as a separation prevention device. When removing the take-up roll from the screen cleaning device, if a force is applied to the take-up roll in a direction away from the support rotator, the supported rotator urges the movable positioning roller by the wedge action as in the case of attachment. While moving backward against the urging force of the apparatus, it escapes from between the movable positioning roller and the fixed positioning roller. Also in the screen cleaning apparatus provided with the positioning device of this section, the winding roll can be easily attached to and detached from the apparatus main body only by the operation of bringing the supported rotating body closer to and away from the supporting rotating body.
It is also possible to use both the movable mounting device and the biasing device. For example, a movable positioning roller is rotatably held by a leaf spring, and the leaf spring is used as a biasing device / roller holding member.

The screen cleaning apparatus according to item (1), including a guide groove that is movably received in a substantially radial direction of the support rotating body.
It is also possible to keep the supported rotating body supported by the supporting rotating body by its own weight. In this case, the winding roll can be detached from the apparatus main body if a force that overcomes its own weight is applied in one direction perpendicular to the axis of the winding roll and in the longitudinal direction of the guide groove. However, it is desirable that the positioning device includes a lift prevention device that prevents the supported rotating body from being lifted from the support rotating body. If the guide groove has a component in the vertical direction and the weight of the winding roll keeps the supported rotating body supported by the supported rotating body, the anti-lifting device is not indispensable, but it is provided It is particularly desirable when the support rotator is a drive rotator and the supported rotator is a driven rotator.
When the shaft portion is fitted into the guide groove and guided, the approach of the supported rotating body onto the supporting rotating body is guided, and the supported rotating body is moved by the engagement between the shaft portion and the groove side surface.

If it is possible to adjust in stages, it is possible to cope with the difference in distance between the two supported rotating bodies. When the two supported rotating bodies also function as positioning members for positioning the wiping sheet in the width direction, the distance between the two supported rotating bodies varies depending on the width of the wiping sheet. It is possible to set a plurality of types of wiping sheets having different widths in the screen cleaning device, corresponding to the difference in distance by one support roll.
Two supporting rotating bodies may be separated and attached to the apparatus main body separately. However, in this case, it is necessary to individually attach the two supporting rotating bodies to the apparatus main body, and the configuration becomes complicated. On the other hand, in the screen cleaning apparatus of this section, if one support roll is attached to the apparatus main body, two support rotating bodies are attached to the apparatus main body, and the configuration of the attachment apparatus can be simplified. In addition, by transmitting the driving force of the rotation drive device to one of the support roll or the two support rotation members, the two support rotation members can be rotated, and the configuration of the rotation drive device can be simplified. .

This is an aspect in which the driving rotator is composed only of a gear, and the supported rotator is supported by the gear itself, and there is an advantage that the configuration is simple. However, it is not limited to that. For example, the drive rotator includes a support portion whose outer peripheral surface is a cylindrical surface, and a gear portion that is concentric and integral with the support portion, and a supported rotator supported by the drive rotator. Alternatively, it is possible to include a supported portion and a gear portion, and the gears can mesh with each other in a state where the supported portion is supported by the support portion.
According to the invention of this section, the rotational torque is reliably transmitted from the drive rotating body to the supported rotating body by the meshing of the gears.
In an embodiment in which this item is dependent on item (2), the positioning device prevents the supported rotating body from being separated from the supporting rotating body, so that the gears are kept in mesh with each other, and the rotational torque is more reliably generated. Communicated.
(10) The wipe sheet supply device is

The substrate support device 12 supports the circuit board 24 horizontally, is moved up and down by a substrate support device lifting device 14 as a contact / separation device, and is moved in a direction perpendicular to the screen 30 supported by the screen support device 16. Then, the circuit board 24 supported by the board support device 12 is brought into contact with and separated from the screen 30.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the screen support device 16 is provided on the frame 10 at a position above the substrate support device 12. The screen 30 is held by a rectangular screen frame 32, and is horizontally supported by the screen support device 16 in the screen frame 32. Although not shown, the screen 30 is provided with a large number of through holes filled with cream solder, which is a kind of highly viscous fluid as a printing material.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the squeegee device 18 is provided on the frame 10 at a position above the screen support device 16. In this embodiment, the squeegee device 18 includes a pair of squeegee heads 40 (only one is shown in FIG. 1) each having a squeegee 38, a squeegee head lifting device 42 that raises and lowers the squeegee heads 40, and a squeegee. A squeegee head moving device 44 for moving the ridge head 40 in a horizontal direction parallel to the screen 30 supported by the screen support device 16. In the present embodiment, for the screen 30 supported by the screen support device 16, the direction parallel to the substrate transport direction is the width direction. In this embodiment, the squeegee 38 is disposed in such a posture that its longitudinal direction is parallel to the width direction of the screen 30, and is moved in a direction perpendicular to the width direction of the screen 30 in a plane parallel to the screen 30.

The screen cleaning device 20 will be described.
The screen cleaning device 20 is a device that wipes and cleans the screen 30 from the side where the circuit board 24 is brought into contact with the wiping sheet 50 (see FIG. 4). As shown in FIG. 4, the wiping sheet 50 is supplied by being wound around a supply roll 52 and wound up by the winding roll 54.

  The wiping sheet 50 is prepared with a plurality of different widths, in this embodiment, three different types. The size of the print use area, which is the area used for cream solder printing, including the portion where the through hole of the screen 30 is formed, is the size of the area to be printed which is the area on the circuit board 24 where the cream solder is to be printed. Depending on the size, the size of the cleaning area that requires cleaning of the screen 30 also changes. The three types of wiping sheets 50 are selectively used to have a width corresponding to the width of the area requiring cleaning (the dimension in the direction parallel to the substrate transport direction as with the screen 30). The screen 30 is wiped while suppressing waste.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the supply roll 52 has a cylindrical shape with a circular cross-sectional shape, and gears 58 (one gear in FIGS. 58 is shown detachably attached. As shown in FIG. 5, one of these gears 58 is provided with a collet member 62 as a locking member concentrically and integrally. The collet member 62 has a hollow cylindrical shape with a circular cross-sectional shape, and has a fitting protrusion 63 protruding from the center of the gear 58. The diameter of the female screw hole 64 and the tip of the collet member 62 is linear. A taper inner peripheral surface 66 that decreases is formed, and a plurality of slits 68 extending in the axial direction are formed in the portion where the female screw hole 64 and the taper inner peripheral surface 66 are formed. 3 are formed at equal angular intervals.

  The diameter of the collet member 62 is increased by the collet driving member 72. The collet drive member 72 includes a head 74 as an operation portion, a male screw portion 76 that protrudes from the head 74, and an inclined tapered protrusion 78 that corresponds to the tapered inner peripheral surface 66. The collet driving member 72 drives the collet member 62 in a state where the fitting protrusion 63 of the collet member 62 is fitted inside the end of the supply roll 52 and the gear 58 is in contact with the end surface of the supply roll 52. . In the collet driving member 72, the male thread portion 76 is screwed into the female thread hole 64, and the taper protrusion 78 is fitted to the taper inner peripheral surface 66 to widen the width of the slit 68. As a result, the diameter of the collet member 62 is expanded and pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the supply roll 52, and the gear 58 is attached to the supply roll 52 so as not to be relatively movable and relatively rotatable in the axial direction by friction between them. The gear 58 can be removed from the supply roll 52 by loosening the screwing of the collet drive member 72 and releasing the engagement of the collet member 62 with the inner peripheral surface of the supply roll 52. The collet member 62 and the collet driving member 72 constitute a collet chuck 80 as a gear attachment device that detachably attaches the gear 58 to the supply roll 52. A wiping sheet supply body 82 is configured including the supply roll 52, the pair of gears 58, and the collet chuck 80.

  The supply roll 52 is made of paper in this embodiment, has the same length as the width of the wiping sheet 50, and the length of the supply roll 52 is changed in three stages for screen cleaning by the screen cleaning device 20. Various types of supply rolls 52 are prepared, and wiping sheets 50 having different widths are wound around them. Further, the maximum diameter of the wiping sheet 50 wound around the supply roll 52 is smaller than the diameter of the root circle of the gear 58 as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. Each of the pair of gears 58 has a diameter of the root circle larger than the outer diameter of the supply roll 52 and, when attached to the supply roll 52, protrudes radially outward from both ends of the supply roll 52. .

  The screen printing machine is controlled by a control device 260 (see FIG. 1) mainly composed of a computer. The control device 260 controls various devices constituting the screen printing machine and controls the notification device 262. Further, a sheet winding length detection device 264 for detecting the winding length of the wiping sheet 50 by the winding roll 54 is connected. The sheet winding length detection device 264 is configured by the same principle as the detection device described in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-029747, and is relatively rotatable on the outer peripheral surface of the wiping sheet 50 wound around the supply roll 52. The detection roller as a detection member made to contact is provided. The detection roller follows the decrease in the sheet winding diameter due to winding of the wiping sheet 50 (drawing of the wiping sheet 50 from the supply roll 52), and rotates around the supply roll 52 to detect the rotation amount of the detection roller. On the basis of this, the winding length or supply length of the wiping sheet 50 is detected.

The attachment and detachment of the supply roll 52 or the wiping sheet supply body 82, the winding roll 54 or the wiping sheet winding body 98 with respect to the screen cleaning device 20 will be described.
When the supply roll 52 is attached, the operator holds the wiping sheet supply body 82 and, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 2, a pair of gears 58 attached to both ends of the supply roll 52 and the support roll 140. A wiping sheet in a state where one pair of the three pairs of annular grooves 158 and 166 is aligned with the pair of annular grooves 158 and 166 whose pitch is equal to the pitch of the pair of gears 58. The supply body 82 is lowered onto the support roll 140. From the three pairs of annular grooves 158 and 166, one pair that forms a pair with a distance corresponding to the distance between the pair of gears 58 is selected, aligned, and fitted. At this time, the pair of gears 58 are in contact with the fixed positioning roller 212a and the movable positioning roller 212b respectively provided for the pinion 150 and the support roller 152, and the gear 58 having a circular cross-sectional shape functions as a wedge. As shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 4, the lever 224 is rotated against the urging force of the spring 232, the movable positioning roller 212b is moved backward to be separated from the gear 58, and between the fixed positioning roller 212a. The pinion 150 and the support roller 152 are brought close to each other while creating a gap that can enter the ring groove 158 and fitted into the annular grooves 158 and 166. In a state where the supply roll 52 is removed, the movable positioning roller 212b is positioned slightly on the fixed positioning roller 212a side from the position where it contacts the gear 58, and the gear 58 is interposed between these rollers 212a and 212b by its wedge function. A gap is secured so that the movable positioning roller 212b can be moved backward against the urging force of the spring 232, and the movable positioning roller 212b is moved backward while the gear 58 is brought close to the pinion 150 and the support roller 152. , Can be supported by the support roller 152. Then, one gear 58 is meshed with the pinion 150 and the other gear 58 is placed on the support roller 152. As a result, the pinion 150 and the support roller 152 are in contact with and supported by the pair of gears 58 on their outer peripheral surfaces (in the pinion 150, the tooth surfaces of the teeth also form part of the outer peripheral surface). Each of the gears 58 is sandwiched between the pair of groove side surfaces of the annular grooves 158 and 166 and positioned in the axial direction of the support roll 140 to prevent the axial movement.

  In this state where the pair of gears 58 are supported by the pinion 150 and the support roller 152, the movable positioning roller 212 b is moved by the urging force of the spring 232 as shown in FIG. The gear 58 is kept in contact with the outer peripheral surface so as to be relatively rotatable, and the pinion 150, the fixed positioning roller 212a, and the movable positioning roller 212b are contacted at three points separated in the circumferential direction of the gear 58 by the biasing force of the spring 232. Then, they are sandwiched between them and positioned in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis, and are maintained in a state of being supported by the pinion 150 and the support roller 152. As described above, the fixed positioning roller 212a and the movable positioning roller 212b are provided on the opposite side of the pinion 150 with respect to the horizontal plane including the rotation axis thereof, and the outer peripheral surface of the gear 58 meshed with the pinion 150. Further, it is provided so as to be in contact with the horizontal plane on the opposite side to the pinion 150, and is located on the opposite side with respect to the pinion 150, and in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the gear 58 at the opposite side position. Of the pinion 150, the fixed positioning roller 212a, and the movable positioning roller 212b, the sum of any two angular intervals between two adjacent ones in the circumferential direction of the gear 58 is greater than 180 degrees. Therefore, the gear 58 is prevented from lifting from the pinion 150 unless a force exceeding the urging force of the spring 232 is applied. As a result, the gear 58 and the pinion 150 are kept engaged with each other, and the rotation of the pinion 150 is reliably transmitted to the gear 58. The same applies to the other gear 58, which is supported by the support roller 152, positioned by the positioning rollers 212a and 212b, and prevented from being lifted. In this embodiment, the supply roll positioning device 208 also functions as a lift prevention device. In this supported and positioned state, straight lines passing through the rotation axes of the pair of gears 58 and the rotation axes of the pinion 150 and the support roller 152 are parallel to each other in the vertical direction. Each is supported from below by a pinion 150 and a support roller 152.

  The winding roll 54 is attached to the apparatus main body 110 in the same manner as the supply roll 52, and one of the pair of gears 90 is one of the three annular grooves 182 as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. Is engaged with and supported by the pinion 170, the other is fitted into one of the three annular grooves 184, and is placed on and supported by the support roller 172. In addition, a pair of gears 90 is sandwiched between the pair of groove side surfaces of the annular grooves 182 and 184 and positioned in the axial direction, and positioned by the take-up roll positioning device 210 to prevent lifting. . As shown in FIG. 4, the wiping sheet 50 is pulled out from the supply roll 52 and covered on the pair of sheet guides 134 and the suction member 130, and then the end is fixed to the winding roll 54. To be done. The width direction of the wiping sheet 50 is parallel to the width direction of the screen 30.

  When cleaning the screen 30, the screen cleaning device 20 is moved from the retreat area to the cleaning start position. The retreat area is a position away from the screen 30 and the substrate support device 12 in the moving direction of the screen cleaning device 20 by the screen parallel direction moving device 100. After the movement, the screen cleaning device 20 is raised by the screen cleaning device lifting device 102, and the portion of the wiping sheet 50 covered by the suction member 130 is brought into contact with the substrate contact surface of the screen 30. In this state, the screen cleaning device 20 is moved along the screen 30 by the screen translation device 100, and the wiping sheet 50 wipes off the dirt adhering to the screen 30. Further, negative pressure is supplied to the suction member 130, and dirt such as cream solder adhering to the inner peripheral surface of the through hole of the screen 30 is sucked away from the screen 30 and wiped by the wiping sheet 50. The suction member 130 also functions as a support member that supports the wiping sheet 50 during wiping. When the screen cleaning device 20 reaches the cleaning end position and the wiping is completed, the screen cleaning device 20 is lowered, the wiping sheet 50 is separated from the screen 30, and the screen cleaning device 20 is returned to the cleaning start position.

  During the return of the screen cleaning device 20 to the cleaning start position, the take-up roll 54 is rotated to take up the wiping sheet 50, and the dirty portion used for wiping the wiping sheet 50 is a suction member. A new unclean portion of the wiping sheet 50 is retracted from the top 130 and positioned on the suction member 130 and pulled out from the supply roll 52. At the time of winding, the support roll 142 is rotated by the rotation driving device 190 and the pinion 170 is rotated, whereby rotational torque is transmitted to the gear 90 meshed with the pinion 170, and the winding roll 54 is rotated. In this embodiment, the pinion 170 of the support roll 142 constitutes a driving rotator, and the gear 90 meshed with the pinion 170 constitutes a driven rotator. The support roller 172 is also rotated by the rotation of the support roll 142, supports the gear 90, and supports the winding roll 54 while allowing the rotation. The electric rotary motor 192 is controlled based on the detection of the winding length of the wiping sheet 50, and the wiping sheet 50 is wound by a predetermined length.

  Also, braking torque acts on the supply roll 52. When the take-up roll 54 is rotated and the wiping sheet 50 is moved in the longitudinal direction, the supply roll 52 rotates to allow the wiping sheet 50 to be pulled out or taken up. Since the friction member 244 is pressed, a braking torque opposite to the direction in which the wiping sheet 50 of the supply roll 52 is pulled out acts on the support roll 140 due to the friction between them, and the pinion 150 and the gear 58 is transmitted to the gear 58 by meshing with the power 58, and a force opposite to the direction in which the wiping sheet 50 is pulled out acts on the supply roll 52. Therefore, the wiping sheet 50 is given a tension opposite to the tension acting by the rotation of the winding roll 54, and the wiping sheet 50 is drawn out without slack and wound by the winding roll 54 by a predetermined length. . Further, when the take-up roll 54 is stopped, the supply roll 52 continues to rotate due to inertia, and the wiping sheet 50 is prevented from sagging, and is kept in a stretched state, and the screen 30 is wiped well. To be done. In this embodiment, the pinion 150 of the support roll 140 constitutes a braking torque transmitting body, and the gear 58 meshed with the pinion 150 constitutes a braking torque transmitted body. The support roller 152 also rotates while supporting the supply roll 52.

  The screen cleaning device 20 wipes the screen 30 again after being returned to the cleaning start position. Therefore, the screen cleaning device 20 is raised and the unused clean surface of the wiping sheet 50 is brought into contact with the screen 30. In this state, the screen cleaning device 20 is moved along the screen 30, and the wiping sheet is moved. 50 wipes and finishes the screen 30. When the screen cleaning device 20 reaches the cleaning end position, the screen cleaning device 20 is lowered to separate the wiping sheet 50 from the screen 30, is retracted to the retreat area, and waits for the next cleaning.

  If there is no wiping sheet 50 supplied in the supply roll 52, the supply roll 52 will not rotate even if the winding roll 54 is rotationally driven. Therefore, it is detected that the wiping sheet 50 has disappeared due to the detection roller of the sheet winding length detection device 264 not rotating for a set time, and the operator is notified by the notification device 262. Thereby, the operator removes the supply roll 52 and the take-up roll 54 from the screen cleaning device 20 and attaches the supply roll 52 around which the unused wiping sheet 50 is wound and the empty take-up roll 54.

  At this time, the operator makes contact with the supply roll 52 with the positioning rollers 212 a and 212 b and keeps the wiper sheet supply body 82 in a state of being positioned by the supply roll positioning device 208, exceeding the urging force of the spring 232. The pair of gears 58 is lifted straight upward while being separated from the pinion 150 and the support roller 152 and removed from the screen cleaning device 20. The pair of gears 58 is retracted from between the fixed positioning roller 212a and the movable positioning roller 212b while retracting the movable positioning roller 212b against the urging force of the spring 232 by the wedge action, and is supplied to the supply roll 52 or the wiper. The take-up sheet supply body 82 is easily removed from the screen cleaning device 20. Similarly, the take-up roll 54 is removed, and the supply roll 52 around which the new wiping sheet 50 is wound and the empty take-up roll 54 are attached to the screen cleaning device 20.

  The supply roll 52 and the take-up roll 54 are also replaced when the type of the circuit board 24 on which the cream solder is printed is changed, the width of the printing use area of the screen 30 is changed, and the width of the cleaning area is changed. This screen cleaning device 20 includes annular grooves 158, 166, 182, 184, three pinions 150, 170, and support rollers 152, 172 each having three support rolls 140, 142, and three types having different widths. The wiping sheet 50 can be selectively set, and the operator removes the supply roll 52 and the take-up roll 54 that are actually attached to the screen cleaning device 20, and the width of the area requiring cleaning is reduced.
