Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2015-76466

  Here, since the component supply tape is wound around a reel, there is a case where warping due to a bending wrinkle occurs. When the component supply tape wound around the reel is warped due to bending wrinkles, the following problems are considered to occur. That is, it is considered that there is a problem that the component supply tape to which the splicing tape is attached is bent in a direction away from each other at the joint portion (splicing portion) due to warping while being sent from the automatic splicing device to the tape feeder. In this case, when the parts supply tape is bent at the joint portion, the splicing tape attached to the joint portion is peeled off, or the cover tape of the component supply tape is peeled off due to the adhesive force of the splicing tape. Conceivable.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and one object of the present invention is to apply a splicing tape due to warping while being sent from a splicing device to a tape feeder. To provide a component mounting device and a tape feeder capable of suppressing bending of a component supply tape at a joint portion (splicing portion).

  A component mounting apparatus according to a first aspect of the present invention includes a splicing device that performs splicing of a component supply tape using a splicing tape, and a reel that is mounted on the component mounting apparatus body and is wound with the component supply tape via the splicing device. Including a tape feeder that feeds the component supply tape from the reel and sends the component supply tape supplied from the reel, and a regulating unit that regulates the warpage of the component supply tape from both sides in the thickness direction of the component supply tape. And a passage member connecting the feeder.

  In the component mounting apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention, a passage member that connects the splicing device and the tape feeder is provided, including a restricting portion that restricts the warpage of the component supply tape from both sides in the thickness direction of the component supply tape. Thereby, between a splicing apparatus and a tape feeder, a component supply tape can be sent to a tape feeder via a channel | path member. As a result, even if the component supply tape wound around the reel is warped by bending wrinkles, the component supply tape can be sent to the tape feeder while correcting the warp by the restricting portion of the passage member. Thereby, it can suppress that the component supply tape with which the splicing tape was affixed in the direction which leaves | separates mutually in a seam part, while sending to a tape feeder from a splicing apparatus. As a result, it is possible to prevent the splicing tape attached to the joint portion from being peeled off due to the component supply tape being bent at the joint portion. Moreover, it can suppress that the cover tape of a component supply tape peels off by the adhesive force of a splicing tape resulting from a component supply tape being bent in a joint part. In this case, the parts exposed to the outside due to the peeling off of the cover tape can be prevented from jumping out of the parts supply tape.

  In addition, in this configuration, since bending at the joint portion of the component supply tape to which the splicing tape is affixed can be suppressed by the restricting portion of the passage member, bending at the joint portion of the component supply tape to which the splicing tape is affixed is suppressed. Therefore, the splicing tape may not be attached to the bottom surface side (carrier tape side) of the component supply tape. In this case, since the splicing tape has only to be applied to the top surface side (cover tape side) of the component supply tape, the time required for the splicing work can be shortened.

  In the component mounting apparatus according to the first aspect described above, preferably, the restricting portion of the passage member is disposed at both ends in the width direction of the component supply tape, and at each of both ends in the width direction of the component supply tape. And a pair of grooves that regulate warpage of the component supply tape from both sides in the thickness direction of the component supply tape. If comprised in this way, compared with the case where the curvature of a component supply tape is controlled only in one edge part of a component supply tape, the curvature of a component supply tape can be corrected more reliably. The component supply tape includes two types of component supply tapes: a paper component supply tape and a resin component supply tape. The paper component supply tape and the resin component supply tape have different maximum thicknesses if the widths are the same, while the end portions in the width direction have the same thickness. Therefore, if each of the both ends in the width direction of the component supply tape is arranged in the pair of groove portions as described above, any component supply tape of the paper component supply tape and the resin component supply tape can be used. Alternatively, a single passage member can be used. As a result, there is no need to provide a passage member for each type of component supply tape, so the versatility of the passage member can be improved.

  In this case, preferably, the passage member further includes a ceiling portion that connects the pair of groove portions and covers the top surface of the component supply tape in a state where the component supply tape is disposed. If comprised in this way, in the both ends of the width direction of a component supply tape, not only will the curvature of the component supply tape be controlled from both sides in the thickness direction by a pair of grooves, but also the component from the top surface in the thickness direction by the ceiling portion. It is also possible to regulate the warping of the supply tape. As a result, the warpage of the component supply tape can be more reliably corrected. Further, the top surface of the component supply tape can be protected by the ceiling while the component supply tape is being sent through the passage member.

  In the configuration in which the restricting portion of the passage member includes a pair of groove portions and the passage member includes a ceiling portion, preferably, the passage member is disposed between the ceiling portion of the passage member and the component supply tape in a state where the component supply tape is disposed. A gap is provided in the thickness direction of the component supply tape with the top surface, and a gap is provided in the width direction of the component supply tape between the groove portion of the passage member and the end portion in the width direction of the component supply tape. If comprised in this way, compared with the case where a component supply tape is sent while the ceiling part of a channel member and the top | upper surface of a component supply tape contact in a channel member, the feeding resistance of the component supply tape in a channel member is reduced. be able to. Similarly, it is possible to reduce the feeding resistance of the component supply tape in the passage member as compared with the case where the component supply tape is fed while the groove portion of the passage member and the end portion in the width direction of the component supply tape are in contact with each other in the passage member. it can. As a result, even when the passage member is provided, it is possible to suppress an increase in the feeding resistance of the component supply tape.

  In the component mounting apparatus according to the first aspect, preferably, the passage member is formed in an elongated shape, the splicing device includes one end side insertion port into which one end of the elongated passage member is inserted, and the tape feeder is The other end side insertion port which inserts the other end of an elongate channel | path member is included. If constituted in this way, while inserting one end of the elongated passage member into the one end side insertion port of the splicing device, just inserting the other end of the elongated passage member into the other end side insertion port of the tape feeder, A passage member can be attached to the splicing device and the tape feeder. As a result, the worker can easily perform the work of attaching the passage member.

  In this case, the elongated passage member is preferably configured to be elastically deformable. If comprised in this way, since it can deform | transform so that an elongate channel | path member may be bent, the both ends of a channel | path member can be easily inserted in an insertion port at the time of the attachment operation | work of a channel | path member. As a result, the workability of the work of attaching the passage member can be improved. Further, when the passage member is attached so that the elongated passage member warps between the splicing device and the tape feeder (upwardly warps in a convex shape), the biasing force of the passage member causes the passage member to One end can be pressed against one end side insertion port of the splicing device, and the other end of the passage member can be pressed against the other end side insertion port of the tape feeder. As a result, the passage member can be stably fixed between the splicing device and the tape feeder.

  In the configuration in which the passage member is inserted into the one-end-side insertion port and the other-end-side insertion port, the elongated passage member is preferably bent and configured not to be elastically deformed. If comprised in this way, since the elongate channel | path member is bent previously, even when a channel | path member does not elastically deform, both ends of a channel | path member can be easily inserted in an insertion port.

  In the component mounting apparatus according to the first aspect, the tape feeder preferably includes a feeder passage portion through which the component supply tape is fed while restricting the warp of the component supply tape from both sides in the thickness direction of the component supply tape. If comprised in this way, not only can a part supply tape be sent while correcting a curvature by a regulation part in a passage member, but also a part supply tape will be sent while correcting a curvature by a passage part in a feeder also in a tape feeder. be able to.

  In the component mounting apparatus according to the first aspect, preferably, the tape feeder is disposed in the vicinity of the component supply position to the component mounting apparatus main body, engages with the feed hole of the component supply tape, and supplies the component by rotation. The tape feeder includes a first sprocket that feeds the tape. In the tape feeder, the engagement position between the feed hole of the component supply tape and the first sprocket is higher than the peeling position where the cover tape of the component supply tape is peeled off. Arranged upstream in the direction. Here, when the splicing tape is applied only to the top surface side (cover tape side) of the component supply tape, if the cover tape is peeled off at the peeling position, the splicing tape is peeled off together with the cover tape. In step S1, the splicing state of the component supply tape is released. In this case, if the engaging position is arranged downstream of the peeling position in the feeding direction of the component supply tape, the splicing state is released at the peeling position, so the parts arranged upstream from the peeling position. The driving force due to the rotation of the first sprocket is not transmitted to the supply tape. For this reason, the component supply tape arrange | positioned upstream from the peeling position is not sent downstream, and supply of components will be interrupted. Therefore, as described above, if the engagement position is arranged upstream of the peeling position in the feeding direction of the component supply tape, after the splicing state is released at the peeling position, the upstream side of the peeling position. The component supply tape disposed on the side can be sent downstream by the rotation of the first sprocket. In this case, the component supply tape arranged on the downstream side of the peeling position can be sent to the downstream side by being pushed from the upstream side by the component supply tape arranged on the upstream side of the peeling position. As a result, when the splicing tape is applied only to the top surface side (cover tape side) of the component supply tape, it is possible to prevent the supply of components from being interrupted.

  In this case, it is preferable that the tape feeder further includes a second sprocket that is disposed in the vicinity of a component supply position to the component mounting apparatus main body, engages with a feed hole of the component supply tape, and feeds the component supply tape by rotation. In addition, in the tape feeder, the engagement position between the feed hole of the component supply tape and the second sprocket is arranged downstream of the peeling position in the feed direction of the component supply tape. With this configuration, the component supply tape is positioned more accurately by the two sprockets, the first sprocket and the second sprocket, which are respectively arranged upstream and downstream of the peeling position so as to sandwich the peeling position. be able to.

  In the component mounting apparatus according to the first aspect, preferably, the splicing device includes a tape detection unit that detects the end of the component supply tape, and the end of the component supply tape is detected by the tape detection unit of the splicing device. And a control unit that performs control to stop the acquisition of the component from the component supply tape in which the end is detected. With this configuration, when the end of the component supply tape is detected and the splicing operation of the component supply tape is performed, the acquisition of the component from the component supply tape to which the splicing operation is performed is stopped. In addition, the component supply tape is not sent. As a result, it is possible to prevent the splicing operation from failing due to the component supply tape being sent during the splicing operation.

  A tape feeder according to a second aspect of the present invention includes a splicing device that performs splicing of a component supply tape using a splicing tape, and a reel that is mounted on the component mounting device main body and wound with the component supply tape via the splicing device. A splicing device and tape including a tape feeder main body for feeding a component supply tape supplied with a component supply tape and a component supply tape supplied from a reel, and a regulating portion for regulating warpage of the component supply tape from both sides in the thickness direction of the component supply tape And a passage member connecting the feeder main body.

  In the tape feeder according to the second aspect of the present invention, a passage member that connects the splicing device and the tape feeder is provided, including a restricting portion that restricts warpage of the component supply tape from both sides in the thickness direction of the component supply tape. As a result, as in the case of the component mounting device according to the first aspect described above, the component supply tape with the splicing tape applied thereto is prevented from being bent in the direction away from each other at the joint portion while being sent from the splicing device to the tape feeder. can do.

  According to the present invention, as described above, the component supply tape to which the splicing tape is applied is prevented from being bent at the joint portion (splicing portion) due to warping while being sent from the splicing device to the tape feeder. Therefore, it is possible to provide a component mounting apparatus and a tape feeder that can perform the above-described process.

Is possible. The tape feeder 20 is an example of a “tape feeder body” in the claims.

  The splicing device 10 is a device that performs splicing of the component supply tape 2 with a splicing tape 90 (see FIG. 7), and has a function as a work table on which splicing is performed. In the splicing device 10, a splicing operation for connecting the component supply tape 2 in use in the device main body 40 and a new component supply tape 2 for addition is performed. Specifically, in the splicing device 10, the end surfaces of the component supply tape 2 in use and the new component supply tape 2 are abutted with each other, and the splicing device 10 straddles the joint portion 2d (see FIG. 7) where the end surfaces abut each other. By applying the splicing tape 90, a splicing operation for connecting the component supply tape 2 in use and the new component supply tape 2 is performed. In the first embodiment, a splicing tape 90 is attached to the component supply tape 2 disposed in the splicing device 10 by an operator (not shown).

  The tape feeder 20 is a device that supplies the component E held by the component supply tape 2 to the apparatus main body 40 by sending the component supply tape 2 supplied from the reel 1 to the downstream side in the feed direction (Y2 direction side). . The tape feeder 20 moves the component supply tape 2 supplied from the reel 1 to the downstream side in the feeding direction so that the component E held by the component supply tape 2 is arranged at the supply position Pa of the component E to the apparatus main body 40. Configured to send.

  The passage member 30 constitutes a passage of the component supply tape 2 between the splicing device 10 and the tape feeder 20 and connects the splicing device 10 and the tape feeder 20. Details of the passage member 30 will be described later.

  Next, in step S15, a splicing operation is performed by the operator. In step S15, first, the handle portion 14b is grasped and the movable member 14 is moved from the holding position in the X1 direction. As a result, the width of the opening 12 in the X direction is increased. Next, a new component supply tape 2 for addition is disposed in the groove portion 11b on the X2 direction side through the opening 12 whose width in the X direction is increased. The new component supply tape 2 for the addition of the gap between the first recess 2a in which the component E is disposed and the empty recess 2a in which the adjacent component E is not disposed in advance is provided in advance by the operator. The part which has been cut and is unnecessary for the splicing operation is removed in advance.

(Effect of this embodiment)
In the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the passage member 30 that includes the regulating portion 31 that regulates the warp of the component supply tape 2 from both sides in the thickness direction of the component supply tape 2 and connects the splicing device 10 and the tape feeder 20 is provided. Provide. Thereby, the component supply tape 2 can be sent to the tape feeder 20 via the passage member 30 between the splicing device 10 and the tape feeder 20. As a result, even if the component supply tape 2 wound around the reel 1 is warped due to bending wrinkles, the component supply tape 2 is sent to the tape feeder 20 while the warp is corrected by the restricting portion 31 of the passage member 30. Can do. Thereby, it can suppress that the component supply tape 2 with which the splicing tape 90 was affixed in the direction which leaves | separates in the joint part 2d while it is sent to the tape feeder 20 from the splicing apparatus 10. FIG. As a result, it is possible to prevent the splicing tape 90 attached to the joint portion 2d from being peeled off due to the component supply tape 2 being bent at the joint portion 2d. Further, it is possible to prevent the cover tape of the component supply tape 2 from being peeled off due to the adhesive force of the splicing tape 90 due to the component supply tape 2 being bent at the joint portion 2d. In this case, it is possible to suppress the component E exposed to the outside by peeling off the cover tape from jumping out from the component supply tape 2.

  Moreover, in this structure, since the bending in the joint part 2d of the component supply tape 2 to which the splicing tape 90 is affixed can be suppressed by the restriction portion 31 of the passage member 30, the component supply tape 2 to which the splicing tape 90 is affixed The splicing tape 90 does not have to be attached to the bottom surface side (carrier tape side) of the component supply tape 2 in order to suppress bending at the joint portion 2d. In this case, since the splicing tape 90 has only to be applied to the top surface side (cover tape side) of the component supply tape 2 as in this embodiment, the time required for the splicing operation can be shortened.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the restricting portion 31 of the passage member 30 is provided with both end portions (2e and 2f) in the width direction of the component supply tape 2 and the width of the component supply tape 2. Each of both end portions (2e and 2f) in the direction has a pair of groove portions 31a and 31b for restricting the warpage of the component supply tape 2 from both sides in the thickness direction of the component supply tape 2. Thereby, compared with the case where the curvature of the component supply tape 2 is regulated only at one end (2e or 2f) of the component supply tape 2, the warp of the component supply tape 2 can be corrected more reliably. The component supply tape 2 includes two types of component supply tapes 2, which are a paper component supply tape 2 (see FIG. 6) and a resin component supply tape 2 (see FIG. 5). If the widths of the paper component supply tape 2 and the resin component supply tape 2 are the same, the maximum thickness differs, while the thicknesses of the end portions 2e and 2f in the width direction are approximately the same. Therefore, by disposing the both ends 2e and 2f in the width direction of the component supply tape 2 in the pair of grooves 31a and 31b as described above, the paper component supply tape 2 and the resin component supply tape 2 A single passage member 30 can be used for any of the component supply tapes 2. As a result, it is not necessary to provide the passage member 30 for each type of the component supply tape 2, so that the versatility of the passage member 30 can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the ceiling that covers the top surface of the component supply tape 2 while connecting the pair of groove portions 31a and 31b to the passage member 30 and the component supply tape 2 being disposed. A portion 32 is provided. Thereby, at both ends (2e and 2f) in the width direction of the component supply tape 2, not only the warpage of the component supply tape 2 from both sides in the thickness direction is restricted by the pair of grooves 31a and 31b, but also the thickness by the ceiling portion 32. Warpage of the component supply tape 2 can also be regulated from the top side of the direction. As a result, the warpage of the component supply tape 2 can be more reliably corrected. Further, the top surface of the component supply tape 2 can be protected by the ceiling portion 32 while the component supply tape 2 is being sent through the passage member 30.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the component supply tape is disposed between the ceiling portion 32 of the passage member 30 and the top surface of the component supply tape 2 in a state where the component supply tape 2 is disposed on the passage member 30. 2 and a gap C3 in the width direction of the component supply tape 2 between the groove portions 31a and 31b of the passage member 30 and the end portions 2e and 2f in the width direction of the component supply tape 2. Thereby, compared with the case where the component supply tape 2 is fed while the ceiling 32 of the passage member 30 and the top surface of the component supply tape 2 are in contact with each other in the passage member 30, the feeding resistance of the component supply tape 2 in the passage member 30 Can be reduced. Similarly, in the passage member 30, compared to the case where the component supply tape 2 is fed while the groove portions 31 a and 31 b of the passage member 30 and the width-direction ends 2 e and 2 f of the component supply tape 2 are in contact with each other, The feed resistance of the component supply tape 2 can be reduced. As a result, even when the passage member 30 is provided, an increase in the feed resistance of the component supply tape 2 can be suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the passage member 30 is formed in an elongated shape. The splicing device 10 is provided with one end side insertion port 13 into which the one end 34 of the elongated passage member 30 is inserted. And the other end side insertion port 22 which inserts the other end 35 of the elongate channel | path member 30 in the tape feeder 20 is provided. Thereby, one end 34 of the elongated passage member 30 is inserted into the one end side insertion port 13 of the splicing device 10, and the other end 35 of the elongated passage member 30 is connected to the other end side insertion port 22 of the tape feeder 20. The passage member 30 can be attached to the splicing device 10 and the tape feeder 20 simply by being inserted. As a result, the operator can easily perform the installation work of the passage member 30.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the elongated passage member 30 is configured to be elastically deformable. Accordingly, the elongated passage member 30 can be deformed so as to be bent, so that both ends of the passage member 30 can be easily inserted into the insertion port when the passage member 30 is attached. As a result, the workability of the installation work of the passage member 30 can be improved. In addition, when the passage member 30 is attached between the splicing device 10 and the tape feeder 20 so that the elongated passage member 30 warps upward (warps upward), the biasing force of the passage member 30 Thus, the one end 34 of the passage member 30 can be pressed against the one end side insertion port 13 of the splicing device 10 and the other end 35 of the passage member 30 can be pressed against the other end side insertion port 22 of the tape feeder 20. As a result, the passage member 30 can be stably fixed between the splicing device 10 and the tape feeder 20.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the in-feeder passage portion 21 to which the component supply tape 2 is fed while restricting the warp of the component supply tape 2 from both sides in the thickness direction of the component supply tape 2 is provided on the tape feeder 20. Provide. Thereby, not only can the component supply tape 2 be sent while correcting the warp by the restricting portion 31 in the passage member 30, but also the component supply tape 2 while correcting the warp by the passage portion 21 in the feeder in the tape feeder 20. Can send.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the tape feeder 20 is disposed in the vicinity of the component supply position Pa to the apparatus main body 40, engages with the feed hole 2g of the component supply tape 2, and rotates to rotate the component. A sprocket 24a for feeding the supply tape 2 is provided. Then, in the tape feeder 20, the engagement position Pb between the feed hole of the component supply tape 2 and the sprocket 24a is set in the feed direction of the component supply tape 2 more than the peeling position Pc where the cover tape of the component supply tape 2 is peeled off. Place upstream. Here, when the splicing tape 90 is applied only to the top surface side (the cover tape 2c side) of the component supply tape 2, when the cover tape 2c is peeled off at the peeling position Pc, the splicing tape 90 is also removed together with the cover tape 2c. Since it is peeled off, the splicing state of the component supply tape 2 is released at the peeling position Pc. In this case, if the engagement position Pb is arranged downstream of the peeling position Pc in the feeding direction of the component supply tape 2, the splicing state is released at the peeling position Pc, so that the upstream side of the peeling position Pc. The driving force generated by the rotation of the sprocket 24a is not transmitted to the component supply tape 2 disposed in the position. For this reason, the component supply tape 2 arrange | positioned upstream from the peeling position Pc is not sent downstream, and supply of the component E will be interrupted. Therefore, as described above, the splicing state is released at the peeling position Pc by disposing the engagement position Pb upstream of the peeling position Pc in the feeding direction of the component supply tape 2. The component supply tape 2 arranged on the upstream side from the peeling position Pc can be sent to the downstream side by the rotation of the sprocket 24a. In this case, the component supply tape 2 arranged on the downstream side of the peeling position Pc can be sent to the downstream side by being pushed from the upstream side by the component supply tape 2 arranged on the upstream side of the peeling position Pc. As a result, when the splicing tape 90 is applied only to the top surface side (the cover tape 2c side) of the component supply tape 2, it is possible to prevent the supply of the component E from being interrupted.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the splicing device 10 is provided with the tape detection unit 16 that detects the end of the component supply tape 2. Then, when the end of the component supply tape 2 is detected by the tape detection unit 16 of the splicing device 10, the apparatus main body 40 is controlled to stop acquiring the component E from the component supply tape 2 in which the end is detected. A control unit 43 is provided. Accordingly, when the end of the component supply tape 2 is detected and the splicing operation of the component supply tape 2 is performed, the acquisition of the component E from the component supply tape 2 on which the splicing operation is performed is stopped. In addition, the component supply tape 2 is not sent. As a result, it is possible to prevent the splicing operation from failing due to the feeding of the component supply tape 2 during the splicing operation.
