JP-A-3-083773 JP 2007-115898 A

  Usually, a single mounting machine mounts a plurality of types of electronic components on a substrate, so that a plurality of component storage reels are incorporated in the mounting machine. For example, the configuration described in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. Since one type of electronic component is stored in one component storage reel, the electronic components stored in the component storage reel incorporated in the mounting machine are different for each component storage reel.

  Normally, the type of electronic component stored in the component storage reel is the electronic component stored on the outer surface of the flange of the component storage reel, for example, the portion indicated by reference numeral 5 in FIG. The label which shows the kind of is pasted beforehand. When the component storage reel is incorporated into the mounting machine, the label is confirmed and the component storage reel is incorporated at a predetermined position of the mounting machine according to the type of the electronic component.

  However, in the state assembled in the mounting machine as described in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3 of Patent Document 2, the above-mentioned label cannot be seen. Will end up checking the label. For example, when the operation of the mounting machine is stopped at the end of the previous day's operation and restarted when the next day's operation starts, it is necessary to check the type of electronic component stored in the component storage reel. The fact that it is necessary to take out the component storage reel from the mounting machine is time-consuming and has a problem of substantially shortening the operating time of the mounting machine.

  Even when the component storage reels are not assembled in the mounting machine, the labels cannot be confirmed even when the rotation axes of the component storage reels are the same, and the component storage reel to be checked is taken out. There was a problem that it was necessary and time-consuming.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, and is a component storage that can know the type of electronic components that are stored in a mounting machine or without taking out component storage reels that are stacked. The purpose is to provide reels.

  In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 includes a shaft, a pair of flanges having an outer shape larger than the shaft and provided at both ends of the shaft, and a carrier tape wound around the shaft, A component storage reel comprising: a component stored in the carrier tape; and a label that is provided on at least one of the opposing surfaces of the pair of flanges and displays the type of the component.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the above configuration has an effect that the type of the stored component can be known without taking out the component storage reel.

  Since the component storage reel of the present invention can know the type of component stored without taking out the component storage reel, it can prevent a substantial reduction in operating time and improve production efficiency. It has the effect.

  A reel according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1A is a front view of a reel according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1B is a right side view thereof, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line AA in FIG.

  The reel 1 includes a flange 2, a flange 3, and a shaft 4, and further includes a label 5 a, a label 5 b, a label 5 c, and a label 5 d provided on the flange 2. The shaft 4 has a cylindrical outer shape and is provided with a through hole including the shaft. The through hole has a function of engaging with a drive shaft (not shown) of a machine for rotating the reel 1 and a support shaft (not shown) for rotatably supporting the reel 1. In this embodiment, it is circular, but is not limited to circular. The shaft 4 is preferably cylindrical in order to wind a carrier tape 6 to be described later, but is not necessarily limited thereto. In particular, in order to wind the carrier tape 6, a structure for fixing the end of the carrier tape 6 to the shaft 4 can be provided on the shaft 4. Can be adopted.

  The flange 2 and the flange 3 are provided at both ends of the shaft 4. The flange 2 and the flange 3 form a pair, and the outer shape thereof is larger than the outer shape of the shaft 4. Since the flange 2 and the flange 3 rotate, a disk-shaped outer shape is preferable from the viewpoint of effective use of space. The both end portions of the shaft 4 mean both end portions when the shaft 4 is divided into three parts, ie, a central portion and both end portions in the axial direction of the cylinder when the outer shape of the shaft 4 is regarded as a cylindrical shape. It is. Therefore, the flange 2 and the flange 3 are not limited to the shapes provided on the top surface and the bottom surface when the outer shape of the shaft 4 is assumed to be a cylindrical shape, but may be provided on the center portion from the top surface and the bottom surface. Good. A carrier tape 6 is wound around the center.

  A label 5a, a label 5b, a label 5c, and a label 5d are labels provided on the flange 2, and indicate the type of electronic component to be stored. As specific display means, a bar code, a matrix two-dimensional code, or the like can be used, but it can also be represented by characters so that a person can directly recognize. A barcode or the like can be used in combination. The label 5a, the label 5b, the label 5c, and the label 5d are provided on the surface of the flange 2 that faces the flange 3. That is, the flange 2 is provided on the surface on which the carrier tape 6 is wound.

  FIG. 3A is a front view of the component storage reel according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. The component storage reel 10 in FIGS. 3A and 3B is obtained by winding a carrier tape 6 in which an electronic component (not shown) is stored on the reel shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

  A known carrier tape 6 can be used. The carrier tape 6 is wound around the shaft 4. The outer shape when all of the carrier tape 6 is wound is set to be inside the positions of the labels 5a, 5b, 5c and 5d. The component storage reel 10 is pulled out of the carrier tape 6 and rotated while being assembled in the mounting machine. In the drawings of the present embodiment, the positions of the labels 5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d are positioned vertically and horizontally. However, since the component storage reel 10 is actually rotated, the labels 5a and 5b. The labels 5c and 5d can be positioned other than up, down, left and right.

  FIG. 4 is a front view at the time of reading the label of the component storage reel in one embodiment of the present invention. The reader 20 has a function of reading any one of the label 5a, the label 5b, the label 5c, and the label 5d, and the reader 21 is a reader 21 such as a sensor or a camera that reads the label. By making the reading unit 21 face one of the labels 5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d, the type of the component stored in the component storage reel 10 can be recognized by the reader 20.

  Thus, the reading part 21 is positioned between the flange 2 and the flange 3 which are a pair of flanges, and any one of the labels 5a, 5b, 5c and 5d can be read. Therefore, even when the component storage reel 10 is incorporated in the mounting machine or in a state where the component storage reels 10 are arranged side by side in the axial direction, the component storage reel 10 can be stored without taking out the component storage reel 10. The type can be recognized. If the stored component is correct, it may be left as it is. However, if the component storage reel 10 in which the wrong component is stored is incorporated, the component storage reel 10 is taken out and the correct component storage reel is stored. 10 can be incorporated.

  Note that the label 5a, label 5b, label 5c, and label 5d of the present embodiment are provided every 90 ° in the flange 2. This is because the reel 1 rotates in a state where it is incorporated in a mounting machine (not shown), but if it is provided every 90 °, any label can be read in many cases. Of course, there may be a case where a total of three units may be provided every 120 °. Further, depending on the assembled state of the reel 1, there may be a case where only two pieces are sufficient for every 180 °, and there may be a case where only one piece may be sufficient. Conversely, there may be a case where it is necessary to provide many labels at a narrower interval instead of every 90 °. This point is selected depending on the state of the surroundings of the component storage reel 10 when it is incorporated into the mounting machine. In most cases, the total is three at every 120 ° or four at every 90 °. Is appropriate.

  Although the label 5a, label 5b, label 5c, and label 5d of this embodiment are provided on the flange 2, they may be provided on the flange 3 or on both the flange 2 and the flange 3. When the flange 3 is provided, the flange 3 is provided on a surface facing the flange 2.

  The component storage reel according to the present invention is useful as a reel for storing electronic components and the like.
