Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a carrier suitable for individually holding, transporting, supplying and inspecting a large number of various electronic components such as semiconductor devices and various odd-shaped components (for example, connectors, switches, oscillators). The present invention relates to a tape and a semiconductor inspection device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the transport and supply of components, a taping type component supply method in which containers containing components are mounted on an automatic supply machine in a packaging form in which the components are connected in a tape form and components are automatically supplied one by one. Has been proven to be highly reliable in the mounting of electronic components, and has rapidly spread in recent years, and has become a main component supply method. Therefore, a reusable carrier tape as disclosed in JP-A-6-156562 has been proposed.

FIGS. 24 and 25 are a front view, a plan view and a perspective view of a conventional carrier tape. 35 is a storage container,
36 is a small hole for a sprocket wheel arranged along the side edge of the storage container, 37 is a component storage portion provided in the central portion of the storage container, 38 is a component, and 39 is a connection portion. At the time of formation, they are connected in a belt shape in the transport direction by the connecting portions. Reference numeral 40 denotes a component jump-out preventing means (hereinafter, referred to as a shutter) provided in the opening of the component storage unit.

The carrier tape is stored, stored, or conveyed in a reel wound state as shown in FIG. 26, and is unwound from the reel by a sprocket mechanism or the like at the time of use.

[0005]

However, in the above-described conventional method of storing a carrier tape by a reel, it is necessary to increase the length of the loaded carrier tape in order to operate the automatic supply device without stopping for a long time. As a result, the diameter of the reel of the carrier tape becomes large, and the larger the diameter of the reel, the more the shape of the carrier tape becomes dead. In addition, if the carrier tape in the reel runs out, it is impossible to supply the next reel continuously, and once the empty reel is taken out, the next reel is loaded, and then the preparatory work (connecting to the beginning of the carrier tape) is performed again. (For example, unwinding a leader tape or the like from a supply-side reel and attaching it to a take-out side reel).

In order to store a carrier tape in high density,
It is most effective to fold and tightly store the containers. However, in the structure of the conventional carrier tape, it is impossible to tightly fold the storage containers around the joint. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a carrier tape capable of storing the carrier tape in a space-saving manner, a method of storing the carrier tape, and a carrier tape storage case capable of continuously supplying the carrier tape to an automatic supply device or the like.
