  The present invention relates to a carrier tape cutting jig and a carrier tape cutting method for cutting a carrier tape that houses components.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a tape feeder that supplies a component housed in a component pocket (component holding hole) of a carrier tape by tape is widely used as a component supply device that supplies components to a component mounting apparatus. As a method of replenishing parts to this tape feeder, the rear end of the carrier tape (old tape) already supplied to the tape feeder and the front end of the newly replenished carrier tape (new tape) are brought into contact with each other by splicing tape. The method to do is generally done. When connecting the carrier tape, the end of both carrier tapes is positioned at the tape feed hole and the number of empty pockets where no parts exist so that the new tape connected can be smoothly transported in the tape feeder. It is necessary to process in a predetermined state defined by the above.

  In order to perform this process easily, various carrier tape cutting jigs have been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1). The carrier tape cutting jig disclosed in Patent Document 1 is fixed to a splicing jig so that the old tape and the new tape overlap each other at a predetermined position, and the predetermined position of the superposed new and old tapes is cut and cured. Cutting with tools at the same time. In recent years, a splicing device that automatically connects carrier tapes has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 2). The splicing device disclosed in Patent Document 2 automatically inserts the old and new tape into the left and right tape traveling paths when the old and new tapes whose ends have been processed in a predetermined state are inserted, and connects the old and new tapes with the splicing tape.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The configuration, shape, and the like described below are illustrative examples, and can be appropriately changed according to the specifications of the component mounting apparatus, tape feeder, splicing apparatus, carrier tape cutting jig, and carrier tape. Below, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the element which respond | corresponds in all the drawings, and the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted.

  First, the configuration of the component mounting apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The component mounting apparatus 1 is an apparatus for mounting the component 3 on the board 2. The substrate transport conveyor 5 provided on the upper surface of the base 4 transports and positions the substrate 2 in one direction in the horizontal plane (direction perpendicular to the paper surface in FIG. 1). The head moving mechanism 6 moves the mounting head 7. The mounting head 7 picks up the component 3 supplied from the tape feeder 8 attached to the side of the substrate conveyor 5 by the suction nozzle 7a and mounts it on the substrate 2 (arrow a). The component 3 is picked up by a component camera 9 disposed between the substrate transfer conveyor 5 and the tape feeder 8 before being mounted on the substrate 2, and the posture correction at the time of mounting is performed based on the obtained image recognition result. The

  The tape feeder 8 is attached to a carriage 10 that is movable on the floor surface FS and coupled to the base 4. A reel R around which a carrier tape TP for supplying the stored component 3 to the component mounting apparatus 1 is wound is held on the carriage 10 in a replaceable manner. As shown in FIG. 2A, the carrier tape TP includes a tape main body 11 having a component pocket 11a for storing the component 3 and a tape feed hole 11b into which an outer peripheral pin of the sprocket 8a of the tape feeder 8 is fitted, It consists of a transparent top tape 12 affixed to the pocket 11a. The component pockets 11a are periodically formed in the tape body 11 with the pocket pitch Lp and the tape feed holes 11b with the feed hole pitch Lh.

  In FIG. 1, the tape feeder 8 intermittently rotates the sprocket 8a to peel off the top tape 12 while feeding the carrier tape TP, and supplies the exposed component 3 to the component supply port 8b. Thus, the tape feeder 8 and the cart 10 serve as a component supply unit that supplies the component 3 to the suction nozzle 7a. As the mounting of the component 3 to the substrate 2 proceeds, the rear end of the carrier tape TP (hereinafter referred to as “old tape TP1”) already supplied to the tape feeder 8 has fallen off from the reel R or will soon fall off. It becomes a state. Therefore, splicing is performed by joining the rear end of the old tape TP1 with the front end of a newly replenished carrier tape TP (hereinafter referred to as “new tape TP2”) and splicing with the splicing tape 13 (see FIG. 2B). Done.

  Splicing is automatically performed by the splicing device 14. The splicing device 14 is fixed to a jig carriage 15 that can move on the floor surface FS with screws (not shown). At the time of splicing, the jig carriage 15 on which the splicing device 14 is installed is moved to the rear of the component supply unit of the component mounting apparatus 1 to be worked, and the splicing is performed.

  Next, splicing in the splicing device 14 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 2, the tape feeding direction of the carrier tape TP by the tape feeder 8 is referred to as the downstream side, and the opposite direction to the downstream side is referred to as the upstream side. 2A, an old tape insertion port 14a is provided on the downstream side of the side surface of the splicing device 14, and a new tape insertion port 14b is provided on the upstream side (see also FIG. 1). In splicing, first, the operator inserts the rear end 16a of the old tape TP1 that has been subjected to the predetermined pre-processing described later from the old tape insertion opening 14a, and the new tape that has been subjected to the predetermined pre-processing processing from the new tape insertion opening 14b. The tip 16b of the tape TP2 is inserted.

  When the old tape TP1 and the new tape TP2 are inserted, the splicing device 14 cuts the old tape TP1 at the cutting point B and the new tape TP2 at the cutting point C, respectively. Next, as shown in FIG. 2B, the splicing device 14 abuts the cut portion B and the cut portion C, and affixes the splicing tape 13 so as to straddle the old tape TP1 and the new tape TP2, and the new tape is attached to the old tape TP1. TP2 is spliced together. As a result, splicing is completed, and parts are replenished so that the new tape TP2 is supplied to the tape feeder 8 following the old tape TP1 fed.

  2A, the end 16 (rear end 16a, front end 16b) of the old tape TP1 and the new tape TP2 inserted into the splicing device 14 is based on the specifications of the tape feeder 8, the splicing device 14, and the carrier tape TP. It is necessary that predetermined pre-processing is performed in advance. In the example of FIG. 2A, five empty part pockets 11a in which the part 3 is not stored are formed in the end part 17 near the terminal 16 in both the old tape TP1 and the new tape TP2. A pre-processing process is performed in which the end 16 is cut at the center of the tape feed hole 11b so as to be substantially perpendicular to the tape feed direction.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 3, the structure of the carrier tape cutting jig 20 used by the operator when the carrier tape TP is pre-processed will be described. FIG. 3A shows the carrier tape cutting jig 20 viewed from above, and FIG. 3B shows the carrier tape cutting jig 20 viewed from the side. The carrier tape cutting jig 20 includes a handle portion 23A having a cutting blade 21A on one side and a gripping portion 22A on the other side, and a handle portion 23B having a cutting blade 21B on one side and a gripping portion 22B on the other side. This is a scissor-like jig that is pivotally connected by a pin 24.

  Between the gripping part 22A and the gripping part 22B, an elastic body 25 such as a spring biased in the opening direction of the tip of the gripping part 22A and the tip of the gripping part 22B is disposed. In a state where the operator does not hold the gripping portion 22A and the gripping portion 22B by the elastic body 25, the cutting blade 21B opens with respect to the cutting blade 21A as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. It is rotating in the direction (arrow d).

  In this state, the carrier tape TP is inserted and held between the cutting blade 21A and the cutting blade 21B, and the operator holds the gripping portion 22A and the gripping portion 22B and closes the space between the cutting blade 21A and the cutting blade 21B. The carrier tape TP is cut at a cutting position E where the cutting blade 21A and the cutting blade 21B intersect. That is, the carrier tape cutting jig 20 includes a pair of cutting blades 21A and 21B that cut the carrier tape TP. Hereinafter, the lower cutting blade 21A when cutting the carrier tape TP is referred to as a lower cutting blade 21A, and the upper cutting blade 21B is referred to as an upper cutting blade 21B.

  In front of the lower cutting blade 21A, a carrier tape set portion 26 fixed to the lower cutting blade 21A is disposed. The carrier tape setting portion 26 includes a fixing portion 27 that is fixedly formed with respect to the lower cutting blade 21A, and a carrier tape support plate 29 that is replaceably attached to the upper portion of the fixing portion 27 with screws 28. Has been. The upper surface 29a of the carrier tape support plate 29 is set to have substantially the same height as the height of the cutting position E (the height of the blade surface of the lower cutting blade 21A).

  Two carrier tape fixing pins 30 </ b> A and 30 </ b> B are erected on the upper surface 29 a of the carrier tape support plate 29. The two carrier tape fixing pins 30A and 30B are arranged side by side on a straight line that is substantially perpendicular to the direction of the lower cutting blade 21A. Tape feed holes 11b of the carrier tape TP to be cut are inserted into the two carrier tape fixing pins 30A and 30B. As a result, the position of the carrier tape TP is fixed on the carrier tape support plate 29 and supported by the upper surface 29 a of the carrier tape support plate 29.

  That is, the carrier tape cutting jig 20 is fixedly formed with respect to one cutting blade 21A (lower cutting blade 21A) of the pair of cutting blades 21A and 21B, and the carrier tape set in which the carrier tape TP is set. A portion 26 is provided. The carrier tape set portion 26 is formed on the carrier tape support plate 29 that supports one surface of the carrier tape TP and the carrier tape support plate 29, and the tape feed hole 11b of the carrier tape TP is fitted into the carrier tape TP. It has carrier tape fixing pins 30A and 30B to which the TP is fixed. Hereinafter, the side closer to the lower cutting blade 21A is referred to as a first carrier tape fixing pin 30A, and the side farther from the lower cutting blade 21A is referred to as a second carrier tape fixing pin 30B.

  4A, in the first carrier tape fixing pin 30A, the cutting position of the carrier tape TP in which the tape feed hole 11b is fitted into the carrier tape fixing pins 30A and 30B (the position that becomes the end 16 after cutting) is the cutting position. It is disposed at a position where E is provided. In the example of FIG. 4A, the distance L1 from the cutting position E to the center of the first carrier tape fixing pin 30A is an integral multiple of the feed hole pitch Lh so that the cut location is the center of the tape feed hole 11b. The position is set to (here, 5 times). The distance L1 is appropriately changed according to the specification of the end 16 of the carrier tape TP after the pre-processing. For example, in the case of the specification in which the end 16 is in the middle of the adjacent tape feed holes 11b, the distance L1 is set to a position that is half an integral multiple of the feed hole pitch Lh.

  In the second carrier tape fixing pin 30B, the distance L2 from the center of the first carrier tape fixing pin 30A to the center of the second carrier tape fixing pin 30B is an integral multiple of the feed hole pitch Lh (here, four times). Is set to the position. As described above, the carrier tape fixing pins 30A and 30B are cut at the fixed position by the cutting blades 21A and 21B, so that the end 16 of the carrier tape TP is positioned at a predetermined position with respect to the tape feed hole 11b. It is provided so that it can be cut.

  The carrier tape TP can be fixed to the carrier tape support plate 29 in two directions shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b). That is, FIG. 6A shows that when the tape feed hole 11b is fitted into the carrier tape fixing pins 30A and 30B in such a direction that the surface (one surface) with the top tape 12 is supported by the upper surface 29a of the carrier tape support plate 29. The carrier tape TP fixed in the first direction in which the position of the component pocket 11a is opposite to the grip portion 22A is shown.

  FIG. 6B shows that when the tape feed hole 11b is fitted into the carrier tape fixing pins 30A and 30B so that the surface (one surface) with the top tape 12 is supported by the upper surface 29a of the carrier tape support plate 29, The carrier tape TP is shown fixed in the second direction in which the pocket 11a is positioned on the gripping portion 22A side. That is, the second direction is the direction in which the positions of the tape feed holes 11b and the component pockets 11a are reversed when the carrier tape support plate 29 supports the same surface (one surface) of the carrier tape TP. It is.

  3, the carrier tape support plate 29 has a positioning index indicating a position where a predetermined empty part pocket 11a is formed at the end 17 after cutting when the carrier tape TP is supported by the carrier tape support plate 29. The portions 31A and 32B are provided corresponding to the first direction and the second direction, respectively. As shown in FIG. 4A, the carrier tape TP is supported so that the position indicated by the positioning index portion 31A is positioned between the component pocket 11a that holds the component 3 and the component pocket 11a that does not hold the component 3. When cut, predetermined empty component pockets 11a (here, five) can be formed in the end portion 17, as shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 4B, the surface (one surface) on which the top tape 12 of the carrier tape TP after cutting is located is turned upside down so that the end 16 is located at the cutting position E in FIG. The description is tailored to. As shown in FIG. 5 (a), the positioning index portion 31B corresponding to the second direction is also provided on the carrier tape support plate 29, and the carrier tape TP is placed on the positioning index portion 31B as in FIG. 5 (a). As shown in FIG. 5B, predetermined empty component pockets 11a (here, five) can be formed in the end portion 17 as shown in FIG.

  That is, the positioning index portions 31A and 31B are fixed to the carrier tape fixing pins 30A and 30B so that the component pocket 11a holding the component 3 and the component pocket 11a not holding the component 3 sandwich the position indicated by the positioning index portions 31A and 31B. When the carrier tape TP is cut by the cutting blades 21A and 21B, an empty component pocket 11a that does not hold the predetermined number of components 3 is formed at the end 17 of the carrier tape TP. By using the positioning index parts 31A and 32B, the operator can easily execute the pre-processing without counting the number of empty part pockets 11a.

  3, at least one component pocket 11a overlaps the carrier tape support plate 29 before and after the position indicated by the positioning index portions 31A and 31B of the carrier tape TP supported by the carrier tape support plate 29. Further, the notches 32A and 32B are formed corresponding to the first direction and the second direction, respectively. When the carrier tape TP is supported on the carrier tape support plate 29 and illuminated with light from below, the light transmitted through the notches 32A and 32B reaches the component pocket 11a and illuminates them. Thus, when the component pocket 11a is a carrier tape TP that transmits light, the operator can easily determine whether or not the component 3 is stored in the component pocket 11a even if the component 3 is a minute size. .

  As described above, the carrier tape set portion 26 includes the notch portion 32A formed in a part of the carrier tape support plate 29 and the positioning indicator portion 31A formed in the carrier tape support plate 29 adjacent to the notch portion 32A. And have. The cutout portion 32A has at least one or more component pockets 11a provided on the carrier tape TP whose position is fixed by the carrier tape fixing pins 30A and 30B before and after the position indicated by the positioning index portion 31A. It is provided so that it may overlap.

  The carrier tape support plate 29 supports the same surface as one surface of the carrier tape TP in the first direction, and the positions of the tape feed holes 11b and the component pockets 11a are reversed (second direction). Further, carrier tape fixing pins 30A and 30B for fixing the carrier tape TP, and a notch portion 32B and a positioning index portion 31B corresponding to the carrier tape TP in the inverted state (second direction) are further formed.

  When the carrier tape TP is cut by the cutting blades 21A and 21B, the carrier tape TP on the upper cutting blade 21B side that is not supported by the carrier tape support plate 29 is dragged downward by the upper cutting blade 21B that rotates downward. The vicinity of the end 16 is damaged. In addition, the carrier tape TP in which the component pocket 11a is embossed and protrudes downward is cut by supporting the surface (other surface) of the carrier tape TP where the top tape 12 is not provided on the upper surface 29a of the carrier tape support plate 29. The component pocket 11a on the side supported by the carrier tape support plate 29 on the lower cutting blade 21A side may be crushed.

  In the old tape TP1 and the new tape TP2, the direction of the carrier tape TP with respect to the end 16 is reversed. Therefore, when the pre-processing process is executed with the carrier tape cutting jig 20 that corresponds only to the first direction or the second direction, one of the carrier tapes TP is located near the end 16 described above. The cutting is performed in the direction of receiving damage or the direction in which the component pocket 11a may be crushed. In contrast, the present embodiment includes notches 32A and 32B and positioning index portions 31A and 31B corresponding to the first direction and the second direction, so that either the old tape TP1 or the new tape TP2 can be used. Also suitable pre-processing can be performed.

  Further, the carrier tape cutting jig 20 shown in FIG. 3 is supported on one side with carrier tape fixing pins 30A and 30B corresponding to the carrier tape TP in the first direction which is supported and supported on one side and not reversed. Carrier tape fixing pins 30A and 30B corresponding to the inverted carrier tape TP in the second direction are shared carrier tape fixing pins 30A and 30B. By sharing the carrier tape fixing pins 30A and 30B, the carrier tape set portion 26 can be reduced in size.

  Further, the carrier tape support plate 29 can be replaced with a screw 28. Therefore, by preparing and replacing a plurality of carrier tape support plates 29 according to the tape feed hole pitch Lh, the positional relationship between the cut end 16 and the tape feed hole 11b, and the number of empty part pockets 11a at the end 17 Pre-processing corresponding to various specifications can be executed.

In a state where the component pockets 11a of the tape TP2 (carrier tape TP) are stacked, a component pocket 11a that holds the component 3 and a component pocket 11a that does not hold the component 3 are formed on the positioning index portion 31A formed on the carrier tape set portion 26. Align so that the indicated position is sandwiched.

  Next, the operator sets the new tape TP2 (carrier tape) so that the position where the cutting blades 21A and 21B cut is a predetermined position with respect to the tape feed hole 11b of the new tape TP2 (carrier tape TP). TP) is positioned and fixed to the carrier tape set portion 26. That is, the tape feed hole 11b is inserted into the first carrier tape fixing pin 30A and the second carrier tape fixing pin 30B. Next, the operator closes the pair of gripping portions 22A and 22B, and cuts the new tape TP2 (carrier tape TP) in a positioned and fixed state with the cutting blades 21A and 21B.

  Next, the operator pre-processes the old tape TP1 to form the pre-processed old tape TP1 shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 5A and 6B, the old tape TP1 has a surface (one surface) on which the top tape 12 is provided supported by the upper surface 29a of the carrier tape support plate 29, so that the old tape TP1 is located with respect to the tape feed hole 11b. The component pocket 11a is fixed to the carrier tape setting portion 26 and cut in the second direction in which the position of the component pocket 11a becomes the gripping portion 22A side. The process of fixing to the carrier tape setting section 26 and cutting is the same as that of the new tape TP2 described above, and the description is omitted.
