  As shown in FIG. 3, the carrier tape 100 is formed by forming a component storage portion 100 a that stores a number of components Pa such as electronic components with a certain interval in the longitudinal direction of the tape. On the upper surface of the carrier tape 100, a cover tape 100b for closing the component storage portion 100a is attached. A feed hole 100c is penetrated at one side of the carrier tape 100 at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction of the tape, and a sprocket described later is engaged with the feed hole 100c so that the carrier tape 100 is advanced and retracted. .

  Next, the structure of the feeder 21 is demonstrated based on FIG. 4 and FIG. The feeder 21 mainly includes a feeder body 21b, a first servo motor 25, a second servo motor 26, a tape insertion recognition lever 51, a first sprocket 61 and a second sprocket 62 as front side sprockets, and a rear side sprocket. The third sprocket 63 and the fourth sprocket 64, a tape transport rail 38, a control unit 39, a cover tape peeling device 70, and the like are included. 4 and 5, the side wall of the feeder main body 21b is removed so that the internal structure of the feeder 21 can be seen.

  The tape transport rail 38 guides the transport of the carrier tape 100, and is disposed from the tape insertion opening 21d provided at the rear portion of the feeder main body 21b to the front suction position 21a. A first sprocket 61 and a second sprocket 62 that can be engaged with the feed hole 100 c of the carrier tape 100 are rotatably provided below the front portion of the tape transport rail 38. A third sprocket 63 and a fourth sprocket 64 that can be engaged with the feed hole 100 c of the carrier tape 100 are rotatably provided below the rear portion of the tape transport rail 38. The tape transport rail 38 is provided with window holes (not shown) so that the sprockets 61 to 64 can be engaged with the carrier tape 100 transported on the tape transport rail 38.

  The first servomotor 25 is a motor that rotates the first sprocket 61 and the second sprocket 62. The rotation shaft 25 a of the first servomotor 25 is connected to the first sprocket 61 and the second sprocket 62 via a required gear mechanism 27. The second servomotor 26 is a motor that rotates the third sprocket 63 and the fourth sprocket 64. The rotation shaft 26 a of the second servomotor 26 is connected to the third sprocket 63 and the fourth sprocket 64 via a required gear mechanism 28. The first and second servo motors 25 and 26 constitute a tape drive device.

  The inlet pressing member 32 is disposed along the upper surface of the rear portion of the tape transport rail 38 in the vicinity of the tape insertion opening 21d, and is provided so as to be movable up and down so as to be separated from and in contact with the tape transport rail 38. The inlet pressing member 32 is pressed downward by a spring 35-2 and is normally in contact with the upper surface of the tape transport rail 38. The downstream pressing member 33 presses the carrier tape 100 on the downstream side of the inlet pressing member 32, and is provided so as to be movable up and down so as to be separated from and in contact with the tape transport rail 38. The downstream pressing member 33 is pressed downward by the spring 35-1 and is normally in contact with the upper surface of the tape transport rail 38.

  As shown in FIG. 5, a tape insertion recognition lever 51 is supported by a pivot 52 at the rear part of the feeder main body 21b, and is rotatable. An operation engagement portion 51 a that engages with the lower surface of the engagement member 54 provided on the inlet pressing member 32 is formed at the center of the tape insertion recognition lever 51. The tape insertion recognition lever 51 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 5 by the urging force of the spring 55, and normally holds the operation engagement portion 51a in the lowered position, and holds the inlet pressing member 32 of the spring 35-2. It is made to contact | abut to the tape conveyance rail 38 with the urging | biasing force. As a result, the tape insertion port 21d is normally closed by the baffle plate 56 pivotally supported at the rear portion of the inlet pressing member 32 so that the carrier tape 100 cannot be inserted through the tape insertion port 21d.

  On the other hand, when the operation knob 51 b provided at the rear end of the tape insertion recognition lever 51 is lifted by the operator and the tape insertion recognition lever 51 is rotated against the urging force of the spring 55, The inlet pressing member 32 is raised against the urging force of the spring 35-2 by the joint portion 51a. Thereby, the inlet pressing member 32 is separated from the tape transport rail 38, the tape insertion opening 21d is opened, and the carrier tape 100 can be inserted.

  A recognition sensor 83 is attached to the feeder body 21b for recognizing that the tape insertion recognition lever 51 has been rotated, that is, that the carrier tape 100 can be inserted. The recognition sensor 83 is turned on by a dog 84 attached to the tape insertion recognition lever 51.

  The stopper member 31 is provided adjacent to the downstream side of the inlet pressing member 32. The stopper member 31 is pivotable with a shaft support portion 31a provided at an intermediate portion thereof being pivotally supported by the downstream pressing member 33.

  An operating portion 51c that can be engaged with an engaging portion 31e provided at the front portion of the stopper member 31 is formed at the front portion of the tape insertion recognition lever 51, and the tape insertion recognition lever 51 resists the biasing force of the spring 55. Then, the engaging portion 31e of the stopper member 31 is engaged with the operating portion 51c. As a result, the stopper member 31 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 5 around the shaft support portion 31a against the biasing force of the spring (not shown), and the rear end portion of the stopper member 31 is brought into contact with the tape transport rail 38. Let The rear end portion of the stopper member 31 is usually separated from the tape transport rail 38 so that the carrier tape 100 can be inserted.

  A dog 86 that operates the tape detection sensor 85 is pivotally supported on the downstream pressing member 33 so as to be rotatable. When the carrier tape 100 is not present on the tape transport rail 38, the dog 86 is brought into contact with the upper surface of the tape transport rail 38 by the biasing force of a spring (not shown). When 100 is inserted, it is pushed up by the carrier tape 100 and the tape detection sensor 85 is turned ON.

  Next, the operation of the feeder 21 will be described. Normally, the tape insertion recognition lever 51 is held in the state shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 by the urging force of the spring 55, and the inlet pressing member 32 is in contact with the tape transport rail 38, and the baffle plate 56 The tape insertion opening 21d is closed.

  In this state, when the operation knob 51b of the tape insertion recognition lever 51 is lifted by the operator, the inlet pressing member 32 is separated from the tape transport rail 38 via the operation engagement portion 51a. Thereby, the tape insertion opening 21d is opened, and the carrier tape 100 can be inserted. When the tape insertion recognition lever 51 is lifted, the recognition sensor 83 is operated by the dog 84, and it is recognized that the operation of the tape insertion recognition lever 51, that is, the insertion of the carrier tape 100 is possible. The operation signal of the recognition sensor 83 is transmitted to the control device 15 via the control unit 39 of the feeder 21, and the control device 15 recognizes which of the plurality of feeders 21 the carrier tape 100 can be inserted into. Is done.

  In this state, the operator inserts the carrier tape 100 onto the tape transport rail 38 from the tape insertion opening 21d, and the carrier tape 100 is inserted to a predetermined position where it abuts against the rear end portion of the stopper member 31. Accordingly, since the dog 86 is operated by the carrier tape 100, the tape detection sensor 85 is operated and the insertion of the carrier tape 100 is detected.

  When the insertion of the carrier tape 100 is detected and the tape insertion recognition lever 51 is rotated and returned to the original position, the first and second servo motors 25 and 26 constituting the tape driving device are driven, and the third and fourth The sprockets 63 and 64 are rotated. As a result, the fourth sprocket 64 is engaged with the feed hole 100 c of the carrier tape 100, and the carrier tape 100 is conveyed to the third sprocket 63 side by the fourth sprocket 64.

  When the carrier tape 100 is transported by the fourth sprocket 64, the downstream pressing member 33 is lifted against the urging force of the spring 35-1 by the carrier tape 100, and the carrier tape 100 is connected to the downstream pressing member 33 and the tape transport rail. 38. When the feed hole 100 c of the carrier tape 100 transported by the fourth sprocket 64 is engaged with the third sprocket 63, the carrier tape 100 is transported to the second sprocket 62 side by the third sprocket 63.

  When the feed hole 100 c formed in the carrier tape 100 is engaged with the second sprocket 62, the carrier tape 100 is sent to the cover tape peeling device 70 by the second sprocket 62, and the cover tape peeling device 70 causes the upper surface of the carrier tape 100. The attached cover tape 100b is peeled off. When the feed hole 100c of the carrier tape 100 is engaged with the first sprocket 61, the components housed in the carrier tape 100 are sequentially conveyed to the suction position 21a, and the suction nozzle (not shown) of the component mounting device 14 is sucked at the suction position 21a. It is adsorbed by.

  When the carrier tape 100 is being conveyed by the feeder 21, the carrier tape 100 pushes up the front end portion of the stopper member 31, whereby the stopper member 31 is rotated and the rear end portion of the stopper member 31 is the carrier. Contact the upper surface of the tape 100.

  Therefore, in this state, as described above, the tape insertion recognition lever 51 is rotated (the recognition sensor 83 is turned on), and the subsequent carrier tape 100 is moved from the tape insertion port 21d to the upper surface of the preceding carrier tape 100. And the inlet pressing member 32, the leading end of the subsequent carrier tape 100 comes into contact with the rear end portion of the stopper member 31 and stops at that position. For this reason, further conveyance of the subsequent carrier tape 100 is prevented, and the subsequent carrier tape 100 stands by at that position.

  The component supply device 11, the board transfer device 13, the component mounting device 14, and the like of the component mounting apparatus 10 are controlled by the control device 15 shown in FIG. The control device 15 includes a CPU 201 as a central processing unit, a ROM 202 and a RAM 203 as storage devices, and an input / output interface 205. The input / output interface 205 includes a control unit that controls the motors such as the substrate transfer device 13 and the component mounting device 14 as well as the first and second servo motors 25 and 26 provided in each feeder 21 of the component supply device 11. 206 is connected.

  The input / output interface 205 is connected to an operation panel 207 including a display device 207a such as an LCD as a display unit and an input device 207b for inputting data by operating a keyboard, a mouse, or the like. The display device 207a displays from which feeder 21 of the component supply device 11 the component (carrier tape 100) is discharged at the time of setup change accompanying the change of the substrate type.

  The ROM 202 stores a basic program for mounting components on the board and a sequence program for controlling the sequence operation of the component mounting apparatus 14 and the like. The RAM 203 stores component data related to information on components used for board production, component placement data indicating the relationship between the components and the feeder 21, data related to a board production schedule, and the like.

  FIG. 7 shows part data PD necessary for producing a plurality of board types. In FIG. 7, in the production of a board of the board type to be produced first (hereinafter referred to as production job N), the part type is shown. A, B, C, D, E are used to produce a board, and in the production of a board of the second board type to be produced (hereinafter referred to as production job N + 1), component types A, B, F, G , H is used to produce a substrate, and the third production type of substrate (hereinafter referred to as production job N + 2) is produced using component types A, D, F, and I. This is shown in the example.

  FIG. 8 shows the component arrangement data AD. In FIG. 8, in the production job N, the feeder 21 loaded with the component type A is mounted at the first slot position S1 of the slot 23 of the component supply device 11. The feeder 21 loaded with the component type B is attached to the second slot position S2. Similarly, the feeder 21 loaded with the component type C is inserted into the third slot position S3, and the fourth slot position S4 is inserted into the fourth slot position S4. The feeder 21 loaded with the component type D is shown as an example in which the feeder 21 loaded with the component type E is mounted in the fifth slot position S5.

  FIG. 9 shows the production plan data SD. FIG. 9 shows an example in which the production job N is executed first, then the production job N + 1 is executed, and finally the production job N + 2 is executed. ing.

  FIG. 10 shows a flowchart executed by the CPU 201 for automatically discharging unnecessary parts on the next board to be produced at the time of changeover when the board to be produced is changed. In the following, a description will be given of the correspondence in which the first production job N is completed and the setup is switched to the next production job N + 1 based on the production plan data SD.

  During the execution of the production job N, as is apparent from FIGS. 7 and 9, the feeder 21 loaded with the component type A is attached to the first slot position S1 of the slot 23 of the component supply device 11. In the second slot position S2, a feeder 21 loaded with the component type B is mounted. Similarly, in the third slot position S3, the feeder 21 loaded with the component type C is placed in the fourth slot position S4. The feeder 21 loaded with the component type D is mounted, and the feeder 21 loaded with the component type E is mounted in the fifth slot position S5.

  In this state, when the first production job N is completed and a setup command is issued, in step S102, the control device 15 refers to the production plan data SD shown in FIG. Search for production job N + 1. Next, in step S <b> 104, the control device 15 compares the component types used in the production job N and the next production job N + 1 based on the component data PD (see FIG. 7) stored in the RAM 203. Next, in step S106, the control device 15 determines whether there is a part type that is not used in the next production job N + 1 among the part types used in the production job N.

  If the determination result in step S106 is YES, that is, if the control device 15 determines that there is a part type that is not used in the next production job N + 1, the process proceeds to step S108, and the determination result in step S106 is NO. The program ends.

  In step S <b> 108, the control device 15, based on the component arrangement data AD (see FIG. 8) stored in the RAM 203, the mounting position of the unused component type, that is, the slot position Sn of the feeder 21 loaded with the unused component type. Search (n = 1-5). Next, in step S110, the control device 15 instructs the feeder 21 at the slot position Sn loaded with a component type not used in the next production job N + 1 to discharge the component.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 7, if the part types used in the production job N are A to E and the part types used in the next production job N + 1 are A, B, and F to H, The part types not used in the production job N + 1 are C to E, and the slot positions in which the part types C to E are loaded are S3 to S5 from the component arrangement data AD shown in FIG.

  Accordingly, the control device 15 sends a component discharge command to the control unit 39 of each feeder 21 mounted in the slot positions S3 to S5. Based on such a component discharge command, the first and second servomotors 25 and 26 constituting the tape driving device are driven in reverse by the control unit 39 of each feeder 21 mounted in the slot positions S3 to S5. As a result, the carrier tape 100 loaded in each feeder 21 is automatically retracted (discharged) toward the tape insertion opening 21d. When receiving a component discharge command from the component mounting apparatus 10, the control unit 39 of each feeder 21 automatically retracts (discharges) the carrier tape 100 inserted into the tape insertion port 21 d to the tape insertion port 21 d. When the end of the carrier tape 100 is retracted to a predetermined position passing through the dog 86, the dog 86 is rotated and the tape detection sensor 85 is turned off. The first and second servo motors 25 and 26 are stopped.

  Next, in step S112, the control device 15 displays on the display device 207a of the operation panel 207 that a component discharge command has been sent to each feeder 21 mounted in the slot positions S3 to S5, and the operator To inform. Based on this notification, the operator pulls out the carrier tape 100 discharged to the tape insertion slot 21 d and removes the reel 24 a (24 b) around which the carrier tape 100 is wound from the feeder 21.

  The above-described step S106 constitutes a component discriminating unit that discriminates components that are not used in the production of the next board type when the production of the board type produced by the component mounting apparatus 10 is switched. Also, a discharge command unit for sending a command to discharge the carrier tape 100 containing the components determined not to be used for production of the next board by the component determination unit (step S106) to the tape insertion slot 21d by the above-described step S110. Is configured.

  Thus, by automatically discharging the carrier tape 100 containing the parts not used for the production of the next substrate, the trouble of discharging the carrier tape 100 from the feeder 21 is eliminated, and the setup change operation becomes easy. In addition, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a human error for discharging the carrier tape 100 from the wrong feeder 21.

  Moreover, since only the component (carrier tape 100) needs to be replaced while the feeder 21 is fixed to the feeder mounting portion 22 of the component supply apparatus 11, it is possible to greatly shorten the setup change time.

  If the feeder 21 having the above-described configuration is used, the carrier tape 100 containing the parts used for production of the next substrate can be inserted into the empty feeder 21 from which the carrier tape 100 has been discharged. It is also possible to reduce the number of

  That is, a part type to be newly used in the production job N + 1 is searched based on the part data PD in FIG. 7 and the production plan data SD in FIG. 9, and these part types are displayed on the operation panel 207 of the control device 15. Display on the device 207a. Based on the display content of the display device 207a, the operator prepares the reel 24a (24b) around which the carrier tape 100 containing the component types F to H to be newly used in the production job N + 1 is wound, and attaches it to the feeder 21. To do. Thereafter, the operator operates the tape insertion recognition lever 51 to open the tape insertion slot 21d, and when the carrier tape 100 is inserted into the tape insertion slot 21d, the first and second servo motors 25 constituting the tape driving device, 26 is driven forward. As a result, the carrier tape 100 is advanced, and the components housed in the carrier tape 100 are automatically conveyed to the suction position 21a that is sucked by a suction nozzle (not shown).

  In this case, prior to mounting the reel 24a (24b) to the feeder 21, the barcode BC attached to the reel 24a (24b) is read by a reading device (not shown), and the component information is grasped. The slot position Sn in which 21 is mounted is associated with the component information. That is, the component arrangement data AD stored in the RAM 203 is rewritten to the contents in which the component types F to H are loaded in the feeders 21 in the slot positions S3 to S5 in which the component types C to E have been loaded (FIG. (See arrow 8).

  In the above-described embodiment, the carrier tape 100 containing the parts not used in the production of the next board type is automatically discharged to the tape insertion slot 21d when the production of the board type is switched. When the control unit 15 constantly monitors the use schedule of the components stored in the tape 100, when it is determined that there is no use plan (when it is determined not to be used in the production of the next board), the production of the board is performed. Even in the middle, it is possible to send a component discharge command for discharging the carrier tape 100 containing components that are not scheduled to be used to the tape insertion slot 21d. Thereby, prior to the production switching of the substrate type, it is possible to send a command for discharging the carrier tape 100 containing the parts not used in the production of the next substrate type to the tape insertion slot 21d.

  According to the above-described embodiment, the control device 15 of the component mounting apparatus 10 determines a component that is not used in the production of the next board type when the production of the board type produced by the component mounting apparatus 10 is switched. S106, and a discharge command unit S110 for sending a command to discharge the carrier tape 100 containing a component determined not to be used for production of the next board by the component determination unit 106 to the tape insertion slot 21d.

  As a result, the carrier tape 100 containing the parts that are not used for the production of the next board can be automatically discharged to the tape insertion slot 21d, so that the trouble of discharging the carrier tape 100 from the feeder 21 is eliminated and a mistake is made. The occurrence of a human error such as discharging the carrier tape 100 from the feeder 21 can be suppressed.

  Further, since only the component (carrier tape 100) has to be discharged from the feeder 21 while the feeder 21 is fixed to the feeder mounting portion 22, the setup change operation is facilitated. In addition, since the carrier tape 100 containing components used for the production of the next substrate can be inserted into the feeder 21 from which the carrier tape 100 has been discharged, the number of feeders 21 can be reduced.

  According to the above-described embodiment, the control device 15 of the component mounting apparatus 10 includes the display device 207a that notifies the component discharge command after the component discharge command, so that the operator can display the contents displayed on the display device 207a. From this, it can be easily known from which feeder 21 the carrier tape 100 is discharged.

  According to the above-described embodiment, when the production of the board type produced by the component mounting apparatus 10 is switched, the parts not used in the production of the next board type are discriminated, and the carrier tape 100 containing the parts is inserted into the tape insertion slot. Since it is a method of discharging to 21d, the carrier tape 100 containing the parts not used for the production of the next board can be automatically discharged to the tape insertion slot 21d. This eliminates the trouble of discharging the carrier tape 100 from the feeder 21 and suppresses the occurrence of a human error such as discharging the carrier tape 100 from the wrong feeder 21.

  According to the above-described embodiment, each feeder 21 of the component supply device 11 includes the control unit 39 that controls the tape drive devices (first and second servomotors 25 and 26) that drive the carrier tape 100. The component mounting apparatus 10 includes a control device 15 that instructs each control unit 39 to discharge and supply a component Pa, and the control device 15 instructs the control unit 39 to perform the next board type when the production of the board type is switched. A part which is not used in the production is determined, and a command to discharge the carrier tape 100 containing the part to the tape insertion slot 21d is sent.

  As a result, when the production of the substrate type is switched, a command for discharging the carrier tape 100 storing the parts not used in the production of the next substrate type to the tape insertion slot 21d is sent from the control device 15 to each control unit 39 of the feeder 21. As a result, the carrier tape 100 containing the parts not used for the production of the next board can be automatically discharged to the tape insertion slot 21d. Accordingly, it is possible to obtain the component mounting apparatus 10 that can eliminate the trouble of discharging the carrier tape 100 from the feeder 21 and can suppress the occurrence of a human error such as discharging the carrier tape 100 from the wrong feeder 21. .

  According to the above-described embodiment, the control device 15 constantly monitors the use schedule of the components stored in the carrier tape 100, and when determining that there is no use schedule, the control device 15 inserts the carrier tape 100 storing the components into the tape. A part discharge command to be discharged to the port 21d is sent. Thereby, prior to the production switching of the substrate type, it is possible to send a command for discharging the carrier tape 100 containing the parts not used in the production of the next substrate type to the tape insertion slot 21d.
