The invention provides an SMT patch element belt winding method and device, and belongs to the technical field of automatic production devices. The method includes the steps of arranging two patch element units on a material belt, wherein each patch element unit comprises at least one patch element, and at least one empty patch element groove is reserved between the two patch element units; winding the material belt on a belt winding machine. The device comprises the material belt and the patch element units. The two patch element units are installed on the material belt and located on the same side of the material belt. Each patch element unit comprises at least one patch element. At least one empty patch element groove is reserved between the two patch element units. By means of the method, the SMT patch machining efficiency is effectively improved, workers can more conveniently act, the material belt can be replaced in time, the work efficiency of a surface mounting machine can not be influenced, and the production efficiency is improved.
