Description

  Embodiments relate to a member supply apparatus and a member supply method for supplying a member having an adhesive material affixed onto a supply base.

  Members such as labels and cushioning materials are often affixed to products with adhesive materials. The adhesive material is affixed to the member in advance, and the member is supplied in a state of being affixed to the sheet-like mount by the adhesive material. Alternatively, a semiconductor substrate such as a semiconductor wafer is often supplied in a state of being attached to a sheet-like mount. In the following description, a member or a semiconductor substrate to which such an adhesive material is attached in advance is referred to as an “adhesive material-attached member”.

  When sticking a member with an adhesive material such as a label or a cushioning material to the product, the member with the adhesive material is peeled off from the mount and then attached to the product. Similarly, when processing a member with an adhesive material such as a semiconductor substrate, the member with an adhesive material is peeled off from the mount and then attached to the processing table. (For example, refer to Patent Documents 1 to 4.)

  A plurality of members with an adhesive material may be supplied in a form of being aligned and pasted on a single sheet-like mount instead of continuous paper. In such a case, the plurality of members with adhesive material are simultaneously placed on the supply table while being peeled off from the mount, and conveyed to a predetermined position while holding the members with adhesive material on the supply table one by one.

  For example, let us consider a case in which the adhesive-attached member is an elongated member having an adhesive material affixed on one side, and a plurality of adhesive-attached members are supplied side by side and attached to the mount. In this case, it is necessary to perform a step of placing the plurality of members with adhesive material arranged side by side on the supply table while simultaneously removing them from the mount. In this step, the adhesive-attached member is peeled off from the mount by moving the mount with a large angle while moving only the mount. Then, a plurality of members with an adhesive material that are peeled off from the mount are placed on the supply table.

  At this time, first, the tip of the member with the adhesive material contacts the upper surface (mounting surface) of the supply base. Then, the member with the adhesive material is peeled off from the mount and fed out, and the member with the adhesive material slides and moves on the mounting surface. Finally, when the entire member with the adhesive material is peeled off from the mount, the member with the adhesive material is placed on the placement surface of the supply table.

  However, when the member with the adhesive material slides on the mounting surface and transfers to the supply table, there is a possibility that the member with the adhesive material may tilt without moving in parallel to the moving direction due to the degree of friction of the member with the adhesive material. For example, when the tip of the member with the adhesive material rubs the mounting surface, if the friction on one side is large, a lateral force is generated when the rear end side of the member with the adhesive material is pushed and moved. The attached member is inclined with respect to the traveling direction. This inclination differs depending on each of the plurality of members with the adhesive material, and the plurality of members with the adhesive material have different inclinations, and are placed on the supply stand in a disjointed posture.

  In addition, when the mount is not a continuous sheet but a sheet-like mount, the mount is often moved while holding the left and right sides of the mount with a moving belt and a roller. When such a mount moving mechanism is used, it is difficult to keep the entire mount flat, and the central portion of the back end of the mount (between the left and right moving belts) may be deformed and lifted up. is there. When such deformation of the mount occurs, the member with the adhesive material partially attached to the deformed portion of the mount is inclined due to the deformation of the mount. As a result, the member with the adhesive material slides on the mounting surface while being tilted, and therefore, the member with the adhesive material moves while being inclined with respect to the traveling direction (mounting direction of the mount), and is placed on the supply table in an inclined state.

  Since the degree of inclination of the adhesive material-attached member on the mounting surface is different for each of the plurality of adhesive material-attached members placed side by side, The angle of the holder must be changed according to the inclination of the member with the material.

  Embodiment described below is made in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, and the member supply apparatus which can mount the member with an adhesive material on a supply stand, without inclining from the advancing direction of a mount, and It aims at providing a member supply method.

  According to one embodiment, the board transport mechanism that transports the board with the member attached thereto in the first direction toward the peeling part, and the member that is disposed at a position close to the peeling part and peeled from the board is provided. When the supply table to be placed and the member are peeled from the mount and placed on the supply stand, the supply stand is moved in synchronization with the movement of the mount in the first direction. There is provided a member supply device having a supply stand moving mechanism for moving in the direction.

  According to another embodiment, the board on which the member is affixed is transported in the first direction toward the peeling unit, and the board is bent in a second direction different from the first direction at the peeling unit. As a result, the member is peeled off from the mount, the supply table on which the member is placed is brought close to the mount, and the supply table is moved in the first direction while moving in the second direction. When the member is positioned above the supply table and the front end of the member is in contact with the supply table, the supply table is moved together with the member only in the first direction, and the member is moved above the supply table. There is provided a method of supplying a member to be mounted on the surface.

  According to the embodiment, the member affixed to the mount can be placed on the supply stand without being inclined from the first direction in which the mount travels.

  Next, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings.

  In the embodiments described below, a member supply device and a member supply method for supplying rubber feet (an example of a member with an adhesive material) attached to the bottom surface of a casing of a notebook computer from a mount to a supply table will be described. The member with the adhesive material is not limited to the rubber feet, and may be any member as long as it is a member that is supplied by being attached to the mount with the adhesive material.

  FIG. 1 is a side view showing the overall configuration of the member supply apparatus. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state where a plurality of rubber feet are aligned and affixed to the mount.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the member supply apparatus 10 includes a member mounting unit 12, a delivery unit 14, a transport unit 16, a peeling unit 18, and a mount collection unit 20. The upper conveyor belt 22 and the lower conveyor belt 24 circulate and move between these portions. The upper transport belt 22 and the lower transport belt 24 are provided for transporting the mount on which rubber feet are attached.

  The member mounting portion 12 is a portion that stores and mounts a mount 4 (see FIG. 2) on which a plurality of rubber feet 2 are aligned and pasted. The member mounting unit 12 is provided with an elevating mechanism 12-2 for raising and lowering the mount table 12-1 on which the mounts 4 are stacked and placed so that the uppermost portion of the stacked mounts 4 is always located at the delivery unit 14. ing.

  The mount 4 placed on the mount table 12-1 of the member mounting section 12 and attached with the rubber feet 2 is moved up and down by the lifting mechanism 12-2, thereby the sending section 14 being moved up and down. Sent to.

  The sending unit 14 is provided with an extruding mechanism 14-1 for pushing the top mount 4 toward the sending unit 14 in the horizontal direction. Among the mounts 4 stacked and accommodated on the member mounting unit 12, the uppermost mount 4 (that is, the mount 4 positioned in the sending unit 14) does not contact the upper conveyance belt 22 at the upper surfaces of the left and right ends. , They are in close proximity to each other. In this state, when the extrusion mechanism 14-1 pushes the mount 4 in the horizontal direction toward the sending unit 16, the left and right ends of the pushed mount 4 are sandwiched between the upper conveyance belt 22 and the lower conveyance belt 24. The upper conveyor belt 22 and the lower conveyor belt 24 move at the same speed in the same direction (the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1), and the mount 4 sandwiched between the upper conveyor belt 22 and the lower conveyor belt 24 is also The transfer unit 16 moves in the direction of arrow A and reaches the peeling unit 18. In FIG. 2, the left and right upper conveyor belts 22 are indicated by two-dot chain lines.

  In the peeling part 18, the upper conveyance belt 22 and the lower conveyance belt 24 are bent at a substantially right angle. That is, the upper conveyor belt 22 and the lower conveyor belt 24 that have moved in the horizontal direction move vertically downward. The course change of the upper conveyance belt 22 and the lower conveyance belt 24 is abrupt, and the bending radius of the bent portion is set small. The sheet-like mount 4 has flexibility, and can be bent following the change of the path of the upper conveyance belt 22 and the lower conveyance belt 24, so that it is sandwiched between the upper conveyance belt 22 and the lower conveyance belt 24. Proceed vertically downward.

  At this time, since the rubber foot 2 attached to the mount 4 does not have the flexibility as the mount 4, when the mount 4 that has progressed in the horizontal direction suddenly changes its course and proceeds vertically downward, The rubber foot 2 is peeled off from the mount 4 and proceeds in the horizontal direction as it is. Here, in the peeling unit 18, the supply table 30 is disposed in the vicinity of a position where the traveling directions of the upper transport belt 22 and the lower transport belt 24 change. Therefore, the rubber foot 2 peeled off from the mount 4 rides on the mounting surface (upper surface) 30 a of the supply table 30. The movement of the rubber feet 2 at the separation unit 18 and the riding on the supply base 30 will be described later.

  Even after the rubber foot 2 is peeled off from the mount 4 at the peeling portion 18, the mount 4 moves downward while being sandwiched between the upper transfer belt 22 and the lower transfer belt 24. When it comes over the mount collection unit 20, the lower conveyor belt 24 moves away from the upper conveyor belt 22. As a result, the mount 4 is not supported between the upper transport belt 22 and the lower transport belt 24, and the mount 4 falls into the mount recovery unit 20. Thereafter, the upper conveyor belt 22 returns to the sending section 14, and the lower conveyor belt 24 returns to the conveyor section 16.

  As described above, the upper conveyor belt 22 and the lower conveyor belt 24 are loop-like endless belts, and continuously transfer (circulate) the carrier sheets 4 delivered from the delivery unit 14 to the peeling unit 18 one after another. . Then, the rubber foot 2 peeled off from the mount 4 in the peeling portion 18 is placed on the placement surface 30 a of the supply stand 30. The rubber feet 2 placed on the supply table 30 are picked up by a transport mechanism such as a robot and transported to the next process.

  FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the peeling portion 18 shown in FIG. As described above, in the peeling portion 18, the upper conveyor belt 22 and the lower conveyor belt 24 are bent at a substantially right angle with a small radius of curvature. The course of the upper conveyor belt 22 and the lower conveyor belt 24 that have moved in the horizontal direction in the conveyor section 16 is changed vertically downward. A supply table 30 is disposed in the vicinity of a position where the course of the upper conveyance belt 22 and the lower conveyance belt 24 changes.

  In the present embodiment, the supply table 30 is driven by the supply table moving mechanism 40 so as to move in synchronization with the movement of the upper and lower conveying belts 22 and 24 (that is, the movement of the mount 4). The movement of the supply table 30 moves not only in the horizontal direction (the movement direction of the mount 4 in the transport unit 16) but also in the vertical direction. Specifically, the supply stand 30 moves while drawing a loop trajectory like a trapezoid turned upside down. When the supply base 30 moves in synchronization with the movement of the mount 4 (that is, the movement of the peeled rubber feet 2), the rubber feet 2 peeled from the mount 4 by the peeling portion 18 are placed on the mounting surface of the supply stand 30. No more sliding on 30a. Accordingly, the rubber foot 2 is placed on the placement surface 30a of the supply table 30 while maintaining an appropriate posture with high positional accuracy while proceeding without being inclined with respect to the course direction.

  Here, the supply stand moving mechanism 40 that moves the supply stand 30 will be described. The supply stand moving mechanism 40 includes a cam link mechanism 50 that controls the moving direction of the supply stand 30 and a drive mechanism 60 that drives the cam link mechanism 50.

  The cam link mechanism 50 includes a camshaft 32 that supports the supply base 30, and a pair of cam plates 34 that have cam grooves 34a with which both ends of the camshaft 32 are engaged. The cam groove 34a is a groove that forms a trapezoidal loop formed in the cam plate 34 as shown in FIG. The camshafts 32 extending from the left and right sides of the supply base 30 are movably engaged with the cam grooves 34a of the left and right cam plates 34, respectively.

  A rotating shaft 36 for driving the cam link mechanism 50 is provided inside the cam groove 34a. A cam drive shaft 36 a extends from the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 36 and extends through the cam shaft 32. The camshaft 32 is movable in the extending direction of the cam drive shaft 36a.

  The drive mechanism 60 for driving the cam link mechanism 50 having such a configuration includes a cam mechanism drive roller 62 and a clutch 70. The clutch 70 is provided between the rotating shaft 36 of the cam link mechanism 50 and the cam mechanism driving roller 62.

  In this embodiment, the cam mechanism driving roller 62 is engaged with the roller 26 that rotates by engaging with the lower conveyance belt 24 via the belt, and the rotational force of the roller 26 is transmitted to the cam mechanism driving roller 62. The Therefore, the rotation of the cam mechanism driving roller 62 is synchronized with the movement of the lower conveying belt 24. The roller 26 may be an idle roller for the lower transport belt 24, but is preferably a drive roller that drives the lower transport belt 24 in order to transmit a driving force. In this embodiment, the driving force of the roller that engages with the lower conveyance belt 24 is used. However, the driving force of the roller that engages with the upper conveyance belt may be used. Alternatively, the rotational force of the drive motor for driving the drive roller that drives the lower transport belt 24 may be transmitted to the cam mechanism drive roller 62. Movement of the upper conveyor belt 22 or the lower conveyor belt 24 (that is, movement of the mount 4) and supply by moving the supply base 30 using the rotational force of the portion that drives the upper conveyor belt 22 or the lower conveyor belt 24. The movement of the table 30 can be synchronized.

  The cam mechanism driving roller 62 is engaged with the rotating shaft 36 of the cam link mechanism 50 via a clutch 70 as an interrupter. By operating the clutch 70, the rotational force of the cam mechanism driving roller 62 can be transmitted to the rotational shaft 36 of the cam link mechanism 50, or the transmission of the rotational force can be interrupted. Since the existing clutch can be used for the mechanism of the clutch 70, detailed description thereof is omitted in this specification.

  In the drive mechanism 60 described above, it is necessary to always keep the placement surface 30a of the supply table 30 horizontally while the supply table 30 moves along the cam groove 34a. Therefore, in this embodiment, a guide shaft 38 is provided below the camshaft 32, and a guide mechanism is adopted in which the guide shaft 38 moves while engaging with another cam groove having the same shape as the cam groove 34a. doing. A known guide mechanism can be used as such a guide mechanism, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  In the present embodiment, a sensor 90 is provided in the separation unit 18. The sensor 90 is, for example, a transmissive photosensor, detects the rubber foot 2 that has moved to the separation unit 18, and sends a detection signal to the control unit 100. The supply table 30 is provided with a sensor 92. The sensor 92 is, for example, a transmissive photosensor, detects when the rubber foot 2 moves to the placement surface 30 a of the supply table 30, and sends a detection signal to the control unit 100. Further, a sensor 94 is provided in the vicinity of the position where the supply base 30 has moved to the portion farthest from the upper transport belt 22. The sensor 94 is, for example, a transmissive photosensor. When the supply table 30 moves to the portion farthest from the upper transport belt 22, the sensor 94 detects the supply table 30 and sends a detection signal to the control unit 100.

  The control unit 100 controls the on / off state of the clutch 70 based on the detection signals from the sensors 90, 92, 94, and controls the movement of the supply base 30.

  The plurality of rubber feet 2 moved and placed on the supply table 30 are picked up one by one by a gripping hand 80 of a transport mechanism such as a robot when the supply table 30 is moved to an appropriate position, and next. It is conveyed to the process.

  Next, the movement of the rubber foot 2 to the supply base 30 performed in the separation unit 18 will be described in more detail.

  When the mount 4 transported in the transport unit 16 moves to the separation unit 18 and the sensor 90 detects the rubber foot 2 on the mount 4, the control unit 100 brings the clutch 70 into a connected state. Thereby, the rotating force of the roller 26 is transmitted and the rotating cam mechanism driving roller 62 is transmitted to the rotating shaft 36 of the cam link mechanism 50. As a result, the cam link mechanism 50 is driven, and the supply base 30 moves to the position shown in FIG. When the supply table 30 moves to the position shown in FIG. 4, the lower edge portion 30 b of the supply table 30 comes close to the leading end portion of the mount 4 that has moved. This position is a position where the mount 4 is bent as described above. Therefore, the lower edge portion 30b of the supply table 30 functions to prevent the sheet 4 from being lifted by pressing the mount 4.

  The position where the mount 4 is bent is a position where the rubber foot 2 is peeled from the mount 4. The rubber feet 2 have a plurality of rubber feet 2 aligned and pasted on the mount 4 in the width direction of the mount 4. When the rubber foot 2 is peeled off, the mount 4 is pulled by the rubber foot 2. The left and right sides of the mount 4 are only pressed by the upper conveyor belt 22, and when the mount 4 is pulled by the rubber feet 2, the central portion in the width direction of the mount 4 is not pressed by the upper conveyor belt 22. So it will rise up. When the central portion of the mount 4 is lifted, the rubber feet 2 that are about to transfer to the supply table 30 may be inclined according to the lift of the mount 4. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the lower edge 30b of the supply table 3 is moved to a position where the mount 4 is bent to prevent the mount 4 from being lifted.

  The movement of the supply table 30 so far is horizontal movement (movement in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 4) guided by the upper horizontal extending portion 34a-1 extending horizontally above the cam groove 34a.

  The moving direction of the supply base 30 changes at the position shown in FIG. 4 and is obliquely downward as shown by the arrow B in FIG. This diagonally downward movement is a movement guided by the front extension 34a-2 of the cam groove 34a. Due to the downward movement of the supply base 30, the mounting surface 30 a of the supply base 30 becomes lower than the tip of the rubber foot 2. Further, since the lower edge portion 30b of the supply table 30 also moves obliquely downward, it is possible to prevent the floating by keeping pressing the tip of the mount 4 that moves obliquely downward.

  When the mount 4 continues to move downward, as shown in FIG. 6, the rubber foot 2 protrudes largely from the mount 4 and tilts so that the tip of the rubber foot 2 is downward. At this time, since the supply table 30 is also moved obliquely downward, the tip of the rubber foot 2 is not yet in contact with the mounting surface 30 a of the supply table 30.

  When the mount 4 continues to move, the supply stand 30 also moves obliquely downward. When the supply base 30 reaches the end point of the diagonally downward movement, as shown in FIG. 7, the portion of the rubber foot 2 attached to the mount 4 is reduced, and the tip of the rubber foot 2 is caused by the weight of the rubber foot 2. It will descend | fall to 30 mounting surface 30a, and will contact.

  Subsequently, the supply table 30 is guided by the lower horizontal extending portion 34a-3 of the cam groove 34a, and moves in the direction away from the upper conveying belt 22 in the horizontal direction (the direction of arrow C in FIG. 8). At this time, since the rear end of the rubber foot 2 is still attached to the mount 4, the rear end of the rubber foot 2 is lowered while the rubber foot 2 is pushed in the horizontal direction by the mount 4. The horizontal movement of the supply base 30 and the horizontal movement of the upper and lower conveying belts 22 and 24 are synchronized, and the horizontal movement speed of the rubber feet 2 and the horizontal movement speed of the supply base 30 are equal. The position of the tip of the rubber foot 2 on the placement surface 30a does not change. Accordingly, the rubber foot 2 moves in the horizontal direction together with the supply base 30 without rubbing the placement surface 30 a, and the rear end thereof descends, and the bottom surface 2 a of the rubber 2 approaches the placement surface 30 a of the supply base 30. .

  As shown in FIG. 9, when the supply base 30 moves to the end point of the lower horizontal extending portion 34 a-3, the rear end of the rubber foot 2 descends to the same height as the placement surface 30 a, and the bottom surface of the rubber foot 2. 2a completely contacts the mounting surface 30a of the supply table 30. That is, the rubber feet 2 are completely peeled off from the mount 4 and are completely placed on the placement surface 30 a of the supply table 30. At this time, a part of the rubber foot 2 protrudes from the mounting surface 30a, but more than half of the rubber foot 2 is on the mounting surface 30a, and the rubber foot 2 is not dropped from the mounting surface 30a. No.

  Thus, more than half of the rubber feet 2 can move onto the mounting surface 30a because the edges of the mounting surface 30a of the supply base 30 are not peeled off as shown in FIG. By moving the supply base 30 so that the edge of the mounting surface 30a is moved obliquely downward while the edge of the mounting surface 30a is close to the mount 4 as shown in FIG. It is.

  For example, if the mounting surface 30a of the supply base 30 is in the vertical position shown in FIG. 6 and the rubber foot 2 is to be received, the tip of the rubber foot 2 quickly reaches the mounting surface 30a, and the rubber foot 2 The tip of the rubber foot 2 cannot be moved to a position where more than half of the rubber foot 2 is placed on the placement surface 30a. The vertical position of the mounting surface 30a in this case is, for example, the position shown in FIG. 6 and is a position higher than the center of the roller 28 that engages with the lower conveyance belt 24 in order to bend the mount 4.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as described above, the placement surface 30a (that is, the supply table 30) is moved downward until the rubber foot 2 is completely moved onto the placement surface 30a. The tip of the foot 2 can be landed inside the placement surface 30a. As a result, most of the rubber feet 2 can be placed on the placement surface 30a. In this case, the vertical position of the mounting surface 30 a is, for example, the position shown in FIG. 9, which is slightly lower than the center of the roller 28 that engages with the lower conveyance belt 24 to bend the mount 4.

  As shown in FIG. 9, after the rubber feet 2 are completely transferred to the mounting table 30a, the supply table 30 is guided by the rear extension 34a-4 of the groove 34a and moves obliquely upward to the position shown in FIG. To. When the supply table 30 moves to the position shown in FIG. 10, the sensor 94 detects the supply table 30, and a detection signal is sent to the control unit 100. Receiving the detection signal, the control unit 100 operates the clutch 70 to interrupt the transmission of the rotational force to the rotating shaft 36 of the cam link mechanism 50. Thereby, the supply stand 30 stops.

  When the supply table 30 stops at the position shown in FIG. 10, the gripping hand 80 attached to the arm of the transfer robot picks up the rubber feet 2 on the mounting table 30a one by one and transfers them to the next process. When all the rubber feet 2 on the mounting table 30 a are taken up, the sensor 92 detects that the rubber feet 2 are lost and sends a detection signal to the control unit 100. Based on this detection signal, the control unit 100 connects the clutch 70 so that the rotational force of the cam mechanism driving roller 62 is transmitted to the rotating shaft 36 of the cam link mechanism 50.

  When the clutch 70 is engaged, the cam link mechanism 50 is driven, and the supply base 30 moves in the horizontal direction toward the position where the rubber foot 2 is received. As a result, the supply table 30 moves again to the position shown in FIG. 4, and the process proceeds to a step of receiving the rubber feet 2 of the mount 4 to be conveyed next.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the rubber foot 2 is moved by the supply stand 30 while the supply stand 30 is moved in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction by the supply stand moving mechanism 40 including the cam link mechanism 50 and the drive mechanism 60. receive. As a result, the plurality of rubber feet 2 are kept in an aligned state without being tilted or changed in posture while the plurality of rubber feet 2 are aligned. It can be transferred to the mounting surface 30a.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating the operation of the cam link mechanism 50 that guides the movement of the supply table 30.

  In the state shown in FIG. 11A, the camshaft 32 is moved to the end of the upper horizontal extending portion 34a-1 of the cam groove 34a by the rotation of the rotating shaft 36. This position is the farthest position from the rotating shaft 36, and the camshaft 32 has moved to the vicinity of the tip of the cam drive shaft 36a. The position of the camshaft 32 shown in FIG. 11A corresponds to the position when the supply base 30 moves to the position shown in FIG.

  When the rotating shaft 36 rotates in the direction of the arrow in the drawing from the state shown in FIG. 11A, the camshaft 32 moves along the front extension 34a-2 of the cam groove 34a, and the state shown in FIG. Move to the indicated position. Since the position of the camshaft 32 at this time is a position close to the rotating shaft 36, the camshaft 32 has moved to the vicinity of the root of the cam drive shaft 36a. The position of the camshaft 32 shown in FIG. 11B corresponds to the position when the supply base 30 moves to the position shown in FIG.

  When the rotating shaft 36 further rotates in the direction of the arrow in the drawing from the state shown in FIG. 11B, the camshaft 32 moves along the lower horizontal extending portion 34a-3 of the cam groove 34a, and FIG. Move to the position shown in c). Since the position of the camshaft 32 at this time is a position close to the rotating shaft 36, the camshaft 32 has moved to the vicinity of the root of the cam drive shaft 36a. The position of the camshaft 32 shown in FIG. 11C corresponds to the position when the supply base 30 moves to the position shown in FIG.

  When the rotating shaft 36 further rotates in the direction of the arrow in the drawing from the state shown in FIG. 11C, the camshaft 32 moves along the rearward extending portion 34a-4 of the cam groove 34a, and FIG. ) To the position shown. Since the position of the camshaft 32 at this time is a position far from the rotating shaft 36, the camshaft 32 has moved to the vicinity of the tip of the cam drive shaft 36a. The position of the camshaft 32 shown in FIG. 11D corresponds to the position when the supply base 30 moves to the position shown in FIG.

  Next, the member supply method performed by the member supply apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a flowchart of processing performed by the member supply method according to the present embodiment.

  First, the control unit 100 determines whether or not the rubber foot 2 is on the placement surface 30a of the supply table 30 based on the detection signal of the sensor 92 (step S1). When there is no rubber foot 2 on the mounting surface 30a of the supply base 30 (NO in step S1), the process returns to step S1. On the other hand, when the rubber feet 2 are on the placement surface 30a of the supply table 30 (YES in step S1), the process proceeds to step S3.

  And the control part 100 determines whether the peeling | exfoliation part 18 of the member supply apparatus 10 has the rubber foot 2 based on the detection signal of the sensor 90 (step S3). That is, the control unit 100 determines whether or not the mount 4 to which the rubber feet 2 are attached has been conveyed to the peeling unit 18. When the rubber foot 2 is not present in the peeling unit 18 of the member supply device 10 (NO in step S3), the control unit 100 causes the mount 4 to which the rubber foot 2 is attached to be sent out from the sending unit 14, and the rubber foot 2 is removed. It conveys to the peeling part 18 (step S4). On the other hand, when the peeling part 18 of the member supply apparatus 10 has the rubber feet 2 (YES in step S3), the process proceeds to step S5.

  And the control part 100 makes the clutch 70 a connection state (ON), and starts the movement of the supply stand 30 (step S5).

  The supply table 30 moves to the position shown in FIG. 4, and the mount 4 is pressed by the lower edge 30b of the supply table 30 to prevent the mount 4 from being lifted (step S6). Subsequently, the supply table 30 continuously moves to the position shown in FIGS. 5 to 8 and receives the rubber feet 2 by the supply table 30 (step S7). Subsequently, the supply table 30 moves to the position shown in FIG. 9, and the rubber feet 2 are separated from the mount 4 and placed on the mounting surface 30a (step S8). Subsequently, the supply base 30 that has received the rubber foot 2 moves to the rubber foot picking position shown in FIG. 10 (step S9). The process from step S6 to step S9 described above corresponds to the rubber foot peeling process.

  Subsequently, the control unit 100 determines whether or not the supply base 30 has reached the rubber foot picking position based on the detection signal of the sensor 94 (step S10). When the supply stand 30 has not reached the rubber foot picking position (NO in step S10), the process in step S10 is repeated again. When supply stand 30 has reached the rubber foot picking position (YES in step S10), the process proceeds to step S11.

Therefore, the control unit disconnects the clutch 70 (OFF), and stops the supply base 30 (step S11). Subsequently, the control unit 100 determines whether or not the peeling foot 18 has the rubber foot 2 based on the detection signal of the sensor 90 (step S12). When there is no rubber foot 2 in the peeling part 18 (NO in step S12), the process in step S12 is repeated. When the peeling part 18 has the rubber feet 2 (YES in step S12), the process proceeds to step S13. And the control part 100 stops supply of the rubber foot 2 (mounting board 4) from the sending part 14 (step S13), and complete | finishes a member supply process.
