Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a component cassette for realizing a smooth component supply and accommodation by effectively holding the component with a simple constitution so as not to move the component by magnetically attracting the component and eliminating a damage to the component by an impact during a supplying or accommodation operation. SOLUTION: A permanent magnet 3 for holding a magnetic component 14 by a magnetic attraction force is mounted at a route where a rectangular component holder 12 which can be coupled to a take-like unit or in a tape-like state moves while removing a cover tape 13 from the holder 12 to take out the component 14. Thus, the component 14 is magnetically attracted so as not to move and effectively held by eliminating an inconvenience of handling the holder 12 with a simple constitution and a low cost. Then, a damage of the component 14 by an impact during a supplying operation is eliminated, and the component is smoothly supplied.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a parts transfer device for a parts cassette which stably supplies or stores various magnetic parts such as mechanical parts and electronic parts.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a vibration feeder has been widely used as a parts feeder for supplying small mechanical parts and electronic parts. On the other hand, in a mounting device for mechanical components and electronic components, as shown in FIG. 3, a large number of storage recesses 23 are provided at predetermined intervals as a component holder for holding a large number of components and mounting them on a component supply device. After the components are stored in the storage recesses 23 using the embossed tape 22 formed by embossing, the upper surface of the embossed tape 22 is covered with a cover tape 24.
There is known a component holder 21 that covers with a component to prevent the component from jumping out.

As a component holder such as a magnetic component disclosed in JP-A-9-132290, as shown in FIG. 4, a large number of storage recesses are formed at predetermined intervals by embossing. 2. Description of the Related Art There is known a component holder in which a magnet 33 for adsorbing and holding a component 34 is mounted in a storage recess of a tape-shaped body 31 having a tape-shaped body or a storage recess and connected with a connectable strip-shaped piece 32.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional means, there is a problem that it is difficult to supply components with high reliability when the direction of components is regulated using a vibration feeder. Further, in the component holder 21 as shown in FIG. 3, since the dimensional accuracy of the storage recess 23 formed by embossing cannot be increased, it is necessary to ensure that the components stored in the storage recess 23 do not move. In the case of a component having a weak protruding portion, there is a problem that the component is damaged by an impact during transportation or component supply operation.

A component holder 31 as shown in FIG.
In this case, the same number of magnets 33 as the number of housed parts are required, so that the cost is increased. Also, there is a problem that the housed recesses are magnetically attracted, and the whole weight of the component holder becomes large, which makes handling inconvenient. . SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and has as its object to provide a parts cassette capable of supplying a stable and inexpensive magnetic component with high reliability.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve this problem, a component transfer device for a parts cassette for magnetic parts according to the present invention is provided with a component holding tape having a storage recess in which an upper surface of a component holding tape is covered with a cover tape.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention according to claim 1 of the present invention relates to a component transfer device for a component holder in which the upper surface of a component holding tape having a storage recess is covered with a cover tape. A magnet that magnetically attracts the components housed in the housing recess is mounted on the housing, and the magnetic components are magnetically attracted by a simple device and are securely held so as not to move and supplied and stored. Therefore, there is an effect that components can be smoothly supplied and stored without being damaged by an impact during a component transfer operation.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, a magnet is mounted on a transfer rail surface between a cover tape peeling position and a component take-out position. The cover tape is peeled off at the position, and the component holder is stored in the state where the storage recess is open, and the component is transferred to the component removal position, while the component stored in the storage recess is mounted on the transfer rail surface. Since the magnet is securely held by the magnetic attraction force of the magnet, the component is not damaged due to the impact during the supply operation, and it is possible to provide an inexpensive and highly reliable component supply unit.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, a magnet is mounted on a transfer rail surface between a component storage position for storing components in the component holder and a cover tape covering position for bonding a cover tape to the component holder. During the operation of storing the components in the component holder and covering with the cover tape, the components stored in the component holder are securely held by the magnetic attraction of the magnet, so that the components are damaged by the impact. This has the effect of providing inexpensive and highly reliable component supply means.
