Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic parts inserting device in which an insertion of electronic parts into some recesses in a parts transferring tape can be carried out efficiently. SOLUTION: A pushing member 3 is merely inserted into an insertion port 2c of a chute 2 to enable an electronic parts P1 to be inserted into a recess 1a of a carrier tape 1, so that a rotary plate having a recess as found in the prior art can be eliminated. In addition, it is possible to eliminate disadvantage such as inferior insertion of electronic parts caused by error in size of the recess and to perform a quite superior insertion of parts into the recess 1a of the carrier tape 1. Further, since the electronic parts P1 before insertion can be held by a magnetic force of a permanent magnet 2d under its stable attitude, the electronic parts P1 inserted into the recess 1a of the carrier tape 1 does not produce any inferior attitude such as inclination or dislocation in position or the like at all.

A conventional electronic component insertion apparatus transfers electronic components supplied in an aligned state from a parts feeder onto a carrier tape by using a turntable, and therefore has a complicated shape. In addition to the trouble of preparing the turntable, there is a problem that the intended insertion of parts cannot be performed satisfactorily due to a slight error in the size of the notch.

On the other hand, in a conventional electronic component transport tape, when a carrier tape is wound around a roller or the like, the bending stress at this time is applied to the lower surface of the tape, causing deformation such as bending or bending. In addition, since the electronic components housed in the recess can be moved by utilizing the mutual gap, the attitude of the electronic components is disturbed when taking out the stored components or storing the components, so that the components can be removed and stored. It may cause trouble.

The carrier tape 1 has a plurality of recesses 1a for accommodating electronic components at predetermined intervals in the tape length direction. Further, on one side in the width direction of the carrier tape 1, guide holes 1b for engaging guide pins of a sprocket (not shown) are provided at predetermined intervals in the tape length direction. The carrier tape 1 is supported by at least one sprocket, and enables intermittent forward movement by a drive source (not shown) such as a motor. Further, the carrier tape 1 is adapted to an electronic component P1 having a square prism shape shown in FIG. 2A, and the width, length, and depth of each recess 1a are determined by the width and length of the electronic component P1. Slightly larger than height and height dimensions. Of course, if the size of the concave portion 1a is changed, an electronic component P2 having a flat quadrangular prism shape as shown in FIG. 2B or an electronic component P having a cylindrical shape as shown in FIG.
3 can also be the insertion target. Incidentally, the electronic component is, for example, a chip component such as a chip capacitor, a chip resistor, or a chip inductor, a composite component such as an LC or a network, or an integrated circuit component such as a semiconductor element. Each of these electronic components has an external electrode, an internal conductor, and the like, and thus can be attracted by a permanent magnet 2d described later.

The electronic component P1 stops moving when the leading electronic component P1 contacts the permanent magnet 2d. The leading electronic component P1 in contact with the permanent magnet 2d is held at the same position so as not to drop from the outlet 2c by the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 2d. Further, the carrier tape 1 is temporarily stopped when the concave portion 1 a before the component insertion faces the discharge port 2 b of the chute 2.

In this state, the busher 3 is lowered from the raised position and inserted into the insertion port 2c. As a result, FIG.

Then, the extruded electronic component P1 is inserted into the recess 1a stopped below the electronic component P1.

After the parts are inserted, the busher 3 is returned from the lowered position. Accordingly, the subsequent electronic component P1 in the passage 2a moves by its own weight to the horizontal portion T, and stops moving when the leading electronic component P1 contacts the permanent magnet 2d.

The hopper 12 includes a storage room 12a for storing the electronic components P1 in bulk, a lid 12b for opening and closing the upper end opening of the storage room 12a, and a through hole 12c provided on the bottom surface of the storage room 12a. It has.

The intake pipe 14 has a lower end fixed to the support base 13 and an upper part inserted through the center of the through hole 12c.
The cross-sectional shape of the intake pipe 14 is similar to the shape of the end face of the electronic component P1 and is slightly larger, so that the electronic component P1 can be moved downward by its own weight in a state of being aligned in the longitudinal direction. A chute 19 (corresponding to the chute 2 or 5) is connected to the support 13 so as to communicate with the lower end of the intake pipe 14.

The upper end is provided with a mortar-shaped guide surface 15a for guiding the component intake into the upper end opening of the intake pipe 14.

The operating lever 17 is rotatably supported at its center by a support 13 via a shaft pin 17a, and has a U-shaped engaging portion 17b at the right end in the drawing. The rotation of the operation lever 17 in the clockwise direction in the figure is restricted by a stopper 18, and the lower surface of the stirring tube 15 is supported by an engagement portion 17b.

The left end of the operating lever 17 in the figure is pushed down by a drive source (not shown) such as a solenoid or a motor-coupled cam, and the operating lever 17 is turned counterclockwise in the figure against the urging force of the coil spring 16. When rotated, the engaging portion 17b
