Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic component mounting apparatus for mounting electronic components on a substrate.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In an electronic component mounting apparatus, an emergency stop switch is generally provided together with an operation panel for an operator to perform various operations. This emergency stop switch is provided to immediately stop the device in the event of a situation where the safety of the operator is impaired, and selects a position that can be easily operated in any situation. Provided.

[0003] As an electronic component mounting apparatus, an apparatus having a plurality of mounting stages for improving mounting efficiency is known. This multi-stage type apparatus is obtained by connecting a plurality of mounting stages having the same function, and generally has the same function for each mounting stage. Conventionally, the emergency stop switch has been provided independently for each mounting stage.

[0004]

Since the emergency stop switch is provided for the purpose of ensuring safety, it is required to perform a function of surely stopping the operation of the device in any situation. However, in the electronic component mounting apparatus in which a plurality of mounting stages are connected as described above, the arrangement of the emergency stop switch is not always rationally set, and the operation timing delay due to a position setting defect and other mounting operations are not performed. Problems such as erroneous operation of the stage emergency stop switch have occurred.

Further, since these emergency stop switches are used only under very limited circumstances, it is appropriate in terms of cost to provide an emergency stop switch for each mounting stage of the same device. Instead, a reasonable arrangement of the emergency stop switch was desired.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an electronic component mounting apparatus in which emergency stop switches are rationally arranged.

[0007]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an electronic component mounting apparatus comprising a plurality of electronic component mounting stages for picking up an electronic component from an electronic component supply unit by a transfer head and mounting the electronic component on a substrate. The electronic component mounting apparatus has a single push-button emergency stop switch disposed in the center of the same operation surface of the electronic component mounting apparatus, with the operation direction facing upward near the operation panel.

According to the present invention, a single push-button type emergency stop switch is disposed near the operation panel in the center of the same operation surface of the electronic component mounting apparatus and is disposed with the operation direction facing upward. , A rational arrangement of the emergency stop switch with good operability and without erroneous operation is realized.

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an electronic component mounting apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side sectional view of the electronic component mounting apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. It is a side view of an electronic component mounting device.

In FIG. 1, an electronic component mounting apparatus 1 is covered with a cover case 2. On the upper part of the cover case 2, operation panels 3A and 3B having operation surfaces on the front and rear surfaces (each surface on the near side and the opposite side in FIG. 1) of the electronic component mounting apparatus 1 are arranged. Each of the operation panels 3A and 3B has a display screen in the form of a touch panel provided with touch keys. Various input operations such as command input and data input can be performed by operating the touch keys on the display screen. Is available.

As shown in FIG. 2, on a base 4 of the electronic component mounting apparatus 1, a transfer path 5 is provided at the center, and a substrate 6 is placed on the transfer path 5 from a transfer port 7 shown in FIG. Sent in.
The electronic component mounting apparatus 1 includes four XY table mechanisms symmetric in the X direction and the Y direction in plan view, and each of the XY tables is provided with a transfer head. FIG.
Shows two transfer heads 10 among them.
These transfer heads 10 are fed from a tape feeder 14 arranged in a supply unit 13 for electronic components on each side to a nozzle 1.
1 to pick up an electronic component and recognize the unit 12
After passing through the upper part and recognizing the electronic component, it is mounted on the substrate 6 positioned on the transport path 5.

That is, the substrate 6 serves as a common mounting stage for the two transfer heads 10, and the electronic component mounting apparatus has two mounting stages on the upstream side and the downstream side. In these mounting stages, the mounting operation is performed on the substrate 6 on the mounting stage from both sides by the two transfer heads 10 across the transport path 5. Then, various adjustment operations and the like by the operator are also performed on both sides of the transport path 5 with respect to each transfer head 10. The operation at this time is performed by operating the operation panels 3A and 3B from each side.

As shown in FIG. 1, a projection 16 is provided below the operation panel 3A in the center of the front surface of the electronic component mounting apparatus, and an emergency stop switch 17 is provided on the upper surface of the projection 16. Has been established. The emergency stop switch 17 is a push button type switch whose operation direction is upward, and is turned on when pressed down from above. As a result, an emergency stop input is made to the control system, and the operation of each unit of the device stops. As shown in FIG. 3, one emergency stop switch 17 is provided on each of the front and rear surfaces, that is, a single switch is provided on the same operation surface.

This electronic component mounting apparatus is constructed as described above.
The operation of is described. An operator performs an operation input by operating a touch key displayed on a display screen of the operation panel 3A in a mounting operation or various adjustment operations, and thereby each part of the apparatus operates. In this operation process, if the operator senses any abnormality in the state or operation of each part of the apparatus and determines that it is necessary to stop the apparatus urgently for safety, the operator operates the emergency stop switch 17.

By this emergency stop operation, XY inside the device is
The operations of the table mechanism, the transfer head 10, and the transport path 5 all stop. It is desired that this operation can be performed reliably regardless of the situation of the operator. However, in the electronic component mounting apparatus shown in the present embodiment, the emergency stop switch 17 is set at the center of each of the front and rear operation surfaces, and Since it is arranged below the operation panels 3A and 3B which are always accessed frequently, it is possible for the operator to operate quickly when necessary. In addition, since the operation direction is arranged upward on the upper surface of the projection 16 that protrudes in the lateral direction from the operation surface, the operation is extremely easy regardless of the working posture of the operator, and no operation error occurs. .

In addition, since a single emergency stop switch can be used to input an emergency stop for a plurality of mounting stages as a target range, a situation in which a mounting stage to be stopped is erroneously determined to be selected does not occur. It is possible to reliably respond to the situation and to reduce the number of emergency stop switches, thereby reducing equipment costs.

[0017]

According to the present invention, a single push button type emergency switch disposed near the operation panel and arranged with the operation direction facing upward at the center of the same operation surface of the electronic component mounting apparatus. Since the stop switch is provided, a rational arrangement of the emergency stop switch with good operability and without erroneous operation is realized.
