Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to an electronic component mounting apparatus for mounting electronic components on a circuit board.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In an electronic component mounting apparatus that sucks and holds an electronic component by a suction nozzle and mounts the electronic component at a predetermined position on an electronic circuit board, a feeder as an electronic component supply unit that supplies the electronic component to the suction nozzle is provided. At least one is provided for each type of electronic component to be mounted, and the mounting position is determined for each type of electronic component. Each of the feeders is removably mounted with a tape reel wound with a tape-shaped substrate on which a plurality of electronic components of the same type are mounted. When a component runs out, the operation of the electronic component mounting device is stopped, the feeder that has run out of components is removed from the electronic component mounting device, and the tape reel in the feeder is replaced with a new one, so that the electronic component is transferred to the feeder. Can be replenished.

[0003] Each of the tape reels has a bar code recording the type and the like of electronic components contained in the tape reel. When the tape reel is replaced, the bar code is read by a bar code reader to obtain the type of electronic component. Has been recognized, and it has been checked whether or not the tape reel is to be replaced with a feeder. Until the collation matches, the operation of the electronic component mounting apparatus is kept in a stopped state to prevent replenishment of a feeder with an incorrect type of electronic component. In addition, each of the mounting positions where the feeder is mounted is provided with a notification light made up of an LED or the like, and the LE provided at the mounting position of the corresponding feeder when a component runs out.
By lighting D or the like, the operator is informed of the presence or absence of components in the feeder.

Furthermore, in the technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-68690, recognition information such as the type of electronic component to be supplied to the suction nozzle by the feeder is recorded in each of the feeder, the tape reel, and the feeder mounting position. By sticking the obtained barcode and reading these barcodes in sequence when parts are exhausted, it is possible to more reliably prevent erroneous mounting of electronic components on a circuit board.

[0005]

In recent years, in order to increase the efficiency of mounting electronic components on a circuit board, when a component has been cut off in one type of feeder, another type of feeder in another type has to be used. Supplying the electronic components to the suction nozzle to continue mounting the electronic components and replenishing the feeder that has run out of components with the electronic components may be delayed. When mounted by such a method, a shortage of components occurs in a feeder of a plurality of types of components, and it becomes necessary to supply electronic components to each of them.

However, in the above-described conventional method of sticking a bar code only on a tape reel to prevent erroneous mounting of the tape reel, it is necessary to check which position the feeder of the newly mounted tape reel should be attached to. Therefore, there is a risk that electronic components of each type cannot be replenished at the correct position when component shortage occurs in a plurality of feeders.

In the technique disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-68690, even when a plurality of feeders are cut out, a bar code attached to each of the tape reel, the feeder, and the feeder mounting position is used. By reading sequentially, electronic components can be replenished at the correct positions. However, every time one electronic component is supplied to one feeder, three barcodes must be read. In addition, when the type of a circuit board to be produced is frequently changed, the feeder must be read each time the type is changed. Each bar code at the feeder mounting position has to be replaced, which is very troublesome. An object of the present invention is to provide an electronic component mounting apparatus easily and accurately including a case where a plurality of types of component breakage occur.

[0008]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention according to claim 1 is a method for mounting a plurality of types of electronic components on a circuit board as shown in FIGS.

It is determined whether or not to perform the operation, and if they match, the notification light changes from the second notification state to the third notification state, and if not, the notification light changes from the second notification state to the fourth notification state. That is, when the electronic component is supplied to the electronic component supply unit, the type of the electronic component to be supplied should be supplied by changing the notification lamp from the second notification state to the third notification state or the fourth notification state. , And which mounting position the electronic component supply unit should be supplied with is clearly notified. Therefore, even when different types of electronic components need to be supplied to the plurality of electronic component supply units, the electronic components can be supplied accurately.

Further, when the operator replenishes the electronic components, a recognizing means for recognizing the type of the electronic component to be replenished by the recognizing means is provided with a notification lamp in a third notification state. Since it is sufficient to supply the electronic components to the electronic component supply section at the mounting position, as in the conventional case, the electronic component to be replenished, the electronic component supply section, and the bar code attached to each of the mounting positions of the electronic component supply section are sequentially displayed. It does not require the trouble of reading and collating, and the need to replace the bar code at the mounting position of the electronic component supply unit and the electronic component supply unit every time the type of circuit board produced in the electronic component mounting device changes, making it easy. Electronic components can be supplied.

Next, the operation of the electronic component mounting apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIG. First, in step S1, the control unit 15 reads a production program or the like stored in the ROM by the CPU, and reads the transport unit 12, the mounting unit 3,
The electronic components are started on the circuit board 2 by controlling the feeder 4 and the like.

Next, in step S2, the control unit 15
Determines whether any of the feeders 4 has run out of electronic components and has run out of components based on a detection signal input from the sensor 13. If it is determined that a component shortage has occurred in any of the feeders 4 (S3: Y), the process proceeds to step S3, and if it is not (S3: N), the process returns to step S1.

In step S3, the control unit 15 sends the notification light 5
To control the feed position of the feeder 4 in which
The notification light 5 provided in 3 is turned on. Next, in step S4, the control unit 15 determines whether there is another feeder 4 that can supply an electronic component to the mounting unit 3 based on the detection signal input from the sensor 13, and determines whether the mounting of the electronic component can be continued. Judge. Here, when it is determined that the mounting of the electronic component can be continued (S4: Y), the process returns to step S1, and
If it is determined that the answer is no (S4: N), the process proceeds to step S5.

In step S5, the control section 15 controls the mounting section 3, the feeder 4 and the like to stop the operation of the electronic component mounting apparatus 1. Next, in step S6, the control unit 15 executes a process so that the input signal input from the start button 14 becomes invalid.

Next, the operator removes the feeder 4 from which the parts have run out from the mounting position 43, removes the tape reel 41 from which the parts have run out from the feeder 4, and prints the bar printed on the tape reel 41 to be newly mounted. The bar code reader 6 is applied to the code 42. Then, when the read information obtained by reading the recognition information of the electronic component accommodated in the tape reel 41 to be newly mounted by the bar code reader 6 is input to the control unit 15, the control unit 1
5 recognizes the type of electronic component accommodated in the tape reel 41 (step S8).

Next, in step S8, the control unit 15 reads out information on the component data of the electronic component stored in the ROM and information on the mounting position of the feeder to the electronic component mounting apparatus, and recognizes the information in step S7. It is determined whether or not the type of the electronic component matches the type of the electronic component to be supplied to the mounting unit 3 by any of the feeders 4. If it is determined that the type of the electronic component recognized in step S7 matches the type of the electronic component to be supplied to the mounting unit 3 by any of the feeders 4 (S8: Y), step S9 is performed.
If the determination is negative (S8: N), the process proceeds to step S10.

In step S9, the notification lamp 5 provided at the mounting position 43 of the feeder 4 to which the tape reel 41 from which the bar code 42 has been read in step S8 is to be mounted.
Blinks slowly. The operator mounts the feeder 4 on which the tape reel 41 accommodating the electronic component recognized in step S7 is mounted at the mounting position 43 where the low-blinking notification light 5 is provided.

If the determination is negative in step S8, in step 10, all of the lighted indicator lamps 5 are blinked at a high speed, and the process returns to step S7 again.

In step S11, it is determined whether or not the feeder 4 on which the tape reel 41 is newly mounted is mounted at the mounting position 43 where the low-speed blinking notification light 5 is provided. Here, it is determined that the feeder 4 is attached to the attachment position 43 where the notification light 5 blinks slowly (S
11: Y) and proceeds to step S12, where it is determined that no (S:
11: N) and return to step S9.

Next, in step S12, step S1
The notification light 5 provided at the mounting position 43 where the feeder 4 is determined to be mounted in 1 is turned off. Then
In step S13, it is determined whether there is any other information light 5 that is on or flashing at a high speed.
Here, when it is determined that there is another notification lamp 5 that is turned on or blinking at a high speed (S13: Y), the process returns to step S7, and steps S7 to S13 are repeatedly performed. If it is determined that the answer is NO (S13: N), the process proceeds to step S14. In step S14, an input signal input from the start button 14 by hand is validated.

Next, in step S15, it is determined whether or not an input signal has been input from the start button 14. Here, it is determined that the input signal has been input (S1).
5: Y) and returning to step S1, the mounting of the electronic component is restarted. Here, when it is determined that the electronic component mounting apparatus 1 is not operated (S15: N), the operation of the electronic component mounting apparatus 1 is stopped.

According to the present embodiment, when a component break occurs in the feeder 4, the notification lamp 5 provided at the mounting position 43 of the feeder 4 changes from the unlit state to the lit state. Is notified. Further, when replenishing a component to the feeder 4 that has run out of components, if the tape reel 41 to be newly mounted is to be mounted on the feeder 4, the notification lamp 5 at the mounting position 43 of the feeder 4 is turned on. It changes to a state of flashing at a low speed, and if not, it flashes at a high speed. For this reason,
Whether the tape reel 14 to be newly mounted is to be mounted on the feeder, and which mounting position 43
Is clearly notified as to whether or not it should be mounted on the feeder 4.

Even when it is necessary to supply different types of electronic components to the plurality of feeders 4, the operator can select a tape reel 41 to be newly mounted.
When the notification light 5 blinks at a low speed when the bar code 42 is read, the tape reel 41 is attached to the feeder 4 at the mounting position 43 where the notification light 5 blinks at a low speed. Therefore, the electronic component can be easily and accurately replenished without making a mistake in the mounting position 43 of the feeder 4.

Also, there is no feeder 4 that can supply the electronic parts to the mounting part 3 due to the exhaustion of the electronic parts.
When the mounting cannot be continued, the control unit 15 automatically stops the operation of the electronic component mounting apparatus 1 and invalidates the input signal input from the start button 14. Then, it is confirmed that the electronic component has been supplied to the feeder 4 which has run out of electronic components, and when it is determined that the mounting can be started, the input signal becomes valid, so that the wrong type of electronic component is supplied to the electronic component supply unit. In addition, the timing at which the operation of the electronic component mounting apparatus 1 is restarted can be determined by the operator's intention, and the operator can perform various checking operations before restarting the operation.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be changed as appropriate without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, information light 5
