  By the way, a pair of feeder rails are provided in parallel on the lower surface of the feeder for the wide tape, and the feeder is mounted using the two rows of rail grooves of the feeder bank. In general, however, the rail groove spacing of the feeder bank differs depending on the type of the mounting apparatus, and a wide tape feeder cannot always be attached to the feeder bank. For this reason, it has been necessary to prepare a feeder in which the spacing between the feeder rails is matched to the spacing between the rail grooves of the feeder bank.

  This invention is made | formed in view of this point, and it is set as one of the objectives to provide the feeder and mounting apparatus which can be shared by several types of feeder banks from which the space | interval of a rail groove differs.

  A feeder according to an aspect of the present invention is a feeder that is mounted in rail grooves arranged at equal intervals in a feeder bank, and a pair of feeder bodies that sequentially feed components toward a supply position, and a pair attached to the feeder body. The pair of feeder rails are variable so that the pair of feeder rails are inserted into the rail grooves of the feeder bank.

  According to this configuration, the distance between the pair of feeder rails can be varied according to the distance between the rail grooves of the feeder bank. Therefore, even if the distance between the rail grooves is different for each type of feeder bank, the same feeder can be mounted using the two rows of rail grooves of the feeder bank. Since it is not necessary to prepare a feeder for each type of feeder bank, it is possible to reduce the work burden on the operator required for changing the feeder and reduce the cost.

  In the feeder, the pair of feeder rails includes a fixed rail fixed to the feeder main body and a movable rail attached to the feeder main body so as to be separated from or approachable to the fixed rail. According to this configuration, the distance between the fixed rail and the movable rail is varied by moving the movable rail with respect to the fixed rail. Since the fixed rail is fixed to the feeder main body, the feeder can be mounted in a positioned state on the feeder bank based on the fixed rail.

  In the feeder, the movable rail is movably attached to the feeder body via a support member, and the support member is formed with an insertion portion that is inserted into an attachment hole of the movable rail, and the distal end of the insertion portion Is provided with a retaining member. According to this configuration, the distance between the fixed rail and the movable rail can be easily varied by sliding the movable rail with respect to the insertion portion of the support member. In addition, the movable rail that slides on the insertion portion is prevented by the retaining member.

  In the feeder, the movable rail is movably attached to the feeder main body via the support member at a plurality of locations along the extending direction. According to this configuration, since the movable rail is supported by the support member at a plurality of locations, the movable rail can be slid while suppressing the tilt, and the rolling of the movable rail can be prevented.

  In the above feeder, the feeder bank is a first feeder bank in which the rail grooves are formed at a first interval or a second feeder bank in which the rail grooves are formed at a second interval, A multiple of the first interval and a multiple of the second interval that minimize the difference, and a multiple of the first interval and the second interval that are within the width dimension of the feeder body. Between the multiples, the distance between the pair of feeder rails can be varied. According to this configuration, the feeder can be shared by two types of feeder banks, the first and second feeder banks. In addition, since the pair of feeder rails can be changed only to a minimum, the pair of feeder rails can be moved while suppressing the inclination, and the pair of feeder rails can be prevented from being turned.

  A mounting apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention includes the above-described feeder and a mounting head that mounts a component fed from the feeder on a substrate. According to this configuration, since the feeder can be shared by a feeder bank having different rail groove intervals, it is possible to reduce an operator's work load on the mounting apparatus.

  According to the present invention, since the distance between the pair of feeder rails can be varied in accordance with the distance between the rail grooves of the feeder bank, the same feeder can be shared by a plurality of feeder banks having different distances between the rail grooves.

It is a schematic diagram which shows the whole mounting apparatus of this Embodiment. It is a figure which shows the mounting state of the feeder to a feeder bank. It is a perspective view of the feeder of this Embodiment. It is a bottom view of the feeder of this Embodiment. It is sectional drawing of the feeder lower part of this Embodiment. It is a front view of the feeder bank of this Embodiment. It is explanatory drawing of the attachment operation | movement of the feeder to the feeder bank of this Embodiment.

  Hereinafter, the mounting apparatus of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the entire mounting apparatus of the present embodiment. In addition, the mounting apparatus of this Embodiment is only an example, and can be changed suitably.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the mounting apparatus 1 is configured to mount various components supplied by the feeder 50 at predetermined positions on the substrate W by the mounting head 30. A substrate transport unit 15 that transports the substrate W in the X-axis direction is disposed substantially at the center of the base 10 of the mounting apparatus 1. The board transport unit 15 carries and positions the board W before component mounting from one end side in the X-axis direction below the mounting head 30, and moves the board W after component mounting from the other end side in the X-axis direction to the outside of the apparatus. I am carrying it out. On the base 10, a large number of feeders 50 are arranged side by side in the X-axis direction in the feeder banks 40 on both sides of the substrate transport unit 15.

  A tape reel 53 is detachably mounted on the feeder 50, and a carrier tape in which various components are packaged is wound around the tape reel 53. Each feeder 50 feeds out components in order toward a delivery position picked up by the mounting head 30 by rotation of a sprocket wheel provided in the apparatus. At the delivery position of the mounting head 30, the cover tape on the surface is peeled from the carrier tape, and the components in the pocket of the carrier tape are exposed to the outside. The components are not particularly limited to electronic components as long as they can be mounted on the substrate W.

  A horizontal movement mechanism 20 that horizontally moves the mounting head 30 in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction is provided on the base 10. The horizontal movement mechanism 20 has a pair of Y-axis drive units 21 extending in the Y-axis direction and an X-axis drive unit 22 extending in the X-axis direction. The pair of Y-axis drive units 21 are supported by support units (not shown) provided upright at the four corners of the base 10, and the X-axis drive unit 22 is movable to the pair of Y-axis drive units 21 in the Y-axis direction. is set up. The mounting head 30 is installed on the X-axis drive unit 22 so as to be movable in the X-axis direction. The mounting head 30 is horizontally moved by the X-axis drive unit 22 and the Y-axis drive unit 21 and picked up from the feeder 50. The component is mounted at a desired position on the substrate W.

  By the way, as shown in the comparative example of FIG. 2A, a plurality of rail grooves 41 are arranged at equal intervals in the feeder bank 40, and the feeder 50a is mounted by attaching the feeder 50a to each rail groove 41. It is electrically connected to the device 1. In this case, the rail groove 41 of the feeder bank 40 is formed in a substantially T shape in a sectional view, and a feeder rail 52 having a substantially T shape in a sectional view in the lower part of the feeder 50a is inserted into the rail groove 41. If the feeder 50a for narrow tapes shown as a comparative example is inserted, the feeder 50a can be fixed to the feeder bank 40 in the positioning state by inserting one feeder rail 52 into the rail groove 41.

  In the feeder 50b for a wide tape shown as a comparative example in FIG. 2B, the feeder 50b swings only by inserting one feeder rail 52 into the rail groove 41, so that the feeder 50b is used by using two feeder rails 52. Regulates peristalsis. However, the distance between the rail grooves 41 of the feeder bank 40 differs depending on the type of the mounting apparatus 1. For example, the rail grooves 41 are spaced by 12 mm for a rotary head mounting apparatus and 17 mm for a parallel head mounting apparatus. Is formed. For this reason, the feeder 50b from which the space | interval of the feeder rail 52 differs for every kind of feeder bank 40 must be prepared.

  In order to share the feeder 50b with a plurality of types of feeder banks 40, the distance between the feeder rails 52 of the feeder 50b may be set to the least common multiple of the distance between the rail grooves 41 of each feeder bank 40. The interval of becomes too large. For example, in the two types of feeder banks 40 in which the rail grooves 41 are formed at intervals of 12 mm and 17 mm, the interval between the feeder rails 52 may be set to 204 mm, which is the least common multiple of 12 mm and 17 mm. However, the width dimension of the feeder 50b is about 62 mm at the maximum, and if the distance between the feeder rails 52 is 204 mm, the width dimension of the feeder 50b is greatly exceeded, which is not realistic.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the interval between the pair of feeder rails 52 of the feeder 50 is made variable so that the feeder 50 can be used in combination with a plurality of types of feeder banks 40 having different intervals between the rail grooves 41. At this time, the two rail grooves 41 are selected from the plurality of rail grooves 41 of each feeder bank 40 and the feeder 50 is mounted so that the variable width of the distance between the pair of feeder rails 52 is minimized. The same feeder 50 can be attached to a plurality of types of feeder banks 40 having different intervals between the rail grooves 41, and the work burden on the operator can be reduced.

  Hereinafter, the feeder according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the feeder according to the present embodiment. FIG. 4 is a bottom view of the feeder according to the present embodiment. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the lower portion of the feeder according to the present embodiment. FIG. 6 is a front view of the feeder bank according to the present embodiment. In addition, the feeder of this Embodiment is only an example and can be changed suitably.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the feeder 50 is mounted side by side on the feeder bank 40 of the mounting apparatus 1 (see FIG. 1), and the feeder body 51 sequentially feeds the components toward the supply position of the mounting head 30. ing. A sprocket wheel 55 is supported in the frame 57 on the front side of the feeder main body 51, and the carrier tape is fed out from a tape reel 53 (see FIG. 1) connected to the rear of the feeder main body 51 by driving the sprocket wheel 55. . As described above, a pocket is formed in the carrier tape, and parts in the pocket are fed out by feeding out the carrier tape.

  The upper portion of the feeder main body 51 is configured to peel the cover tape from the carrier tape before the supply position for the mounting head 30. The cover tape peeled off from the carrier tape is collected inside the frame 57 by a pair of collection rollers 56 on the rear side of the feeder body 51. A connector 58 is provided on the lower center side of the feeder main body 51, and power is supplied to the feeder 50 from the mounting apparatus 1 side by being connected to a connector (not shown) of the feeder bank 40. In addition, a pair of feeder rails 52 are attached in parallel to the lower portion on the front side of the feeder body 51.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the pair of feeder rails 52 includes a fixed rail 61 fixed to the feeder main body 51 and a movable rail 71 attached to the feeder main body 51 so as to be separated from or accessible to the fixed rail 61. Is done. By moving the movable rail 71 with respect to the fixed rail 61, the interval between the fixed rail 61 and the movable rail 71 is varied. Since the fixed rail 61 is fixed to the feeder main body 51, the feeder 50 is mounted in a positioned state with respect to the feeder bank 40 (see FIG. 1) with the fixed rail 61 as a reference. Therefore, when the feeder 50 is attached to the feeder bank 40, the connectors of the feeder 50 and the feeder bank 40 are aligned.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the fixed rail 61 is configured by providing brackets 63 at a plurality of locations (three locations in the present embodiment) on the stepped rail portion 62 having a substantially T shape in cross section. ing. The fixed rail 61 is screwed to the feeder main body 51 by fixing screws 65 inserted into the mounting holes 64 of the bracket 63 at a plurality of locations along the extending direction. Since the fixed rail 61 is fixed to the feeder body 51 in a stationary state, the distance between the fixed rail 61 and the movable rail 71 is adjusted with reference to the fixed rail 61.

  Similar to the fixed rail 61, the movable rail 71 is configured by providing brackets 73 at a plurality of locations (three locations in the present embodiment) on the stepped rail portion 72 having a substantially T shape in cross section. The movable rail 71 is attached to the feeder main body 51 via support members 76 at a plurality of locations along the extending direction. The support member 76 is formed in a stepped columnar shape having a small diameter at both ends, a male screw portion 77 is formed in the small diameter portion on one end side, and a mounting hole for the bracket 73 is formed in the small diameter portion on the other end side. An insertion portion 78 to be inserted into 74 is formed. Further, a retaining member 79 such as an E ring is provided at the tip of the insertion portion 78 protruding from the bracket 73.

  The male screw portion 77 of the support member 76 is screwed to the feeder main body 51, and the insertion portion 78 of the support member 76 is inserted into the mounting hole 74 of the movable rail 71. Since the slide of the movable rail 71 is regulated by the large diameter portion of the retaining member 79 and the support member 76, the movable range (movable amount) of the movable rail 71 is set by the regulation surfaces of the retaining member 79 and the support member 76. . Further, as described above, since the movable rail 71 is supported by the support member 76 at a plurality of locations, the movable rail 71 is slid along the support member 76 without being inclined, thereby preventing the movable rail 71 from being twisted when sliding. It is possible.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the feeder 50 (see FIG. 3) is shared by the first and second feeder banks 40 </ b> A and 40 </ b> B as the feeder bank 40. In the first feeder bank 40A, rail grooves 41A are formed at a first interval L1, and in the second feeder bank 40B, rail grooves 41B are formed at a second interval L2. Each rail groove 41A, 41B is formed in a substantially T shape in sectional view by a plurality of guide rails 42A, 42B, and is slightly larger than the fixed rail 61 and the movable rail 71 (see FIG. 5). Yes. The feeder 50 selects two rail grooves 41A and 41B from the plurality of rail grooves 41A and 41B, and is mounted on the first and second feeder banks 40A and 40B.

  In the feeder 50 (see FIG. 5) used in the first and second feeder banks 40A and 40B, the movable range of the movable rail 71 with respect to the fixed rail 61 is set based on the first and second intervals L1 and L2. Is done. In this case, a multiple of the first interval L1 and a multiple of the second interval L2 that minimize the difference between each other, and a multiple of the first interval L1 that falls within the width dimension of the feeder body 51 and the second A multiple of the interval L2 of 2 is used. That is, the first interval L1 × n (n is an integer) and the second interval L2 × m (m is an integer) are closest to each other, and the first interval L1 does not protrude from the width dimension of the feeder body 51. The movable range is set to a value of xn and the second interval L2xm.

  For example, consider a case where the feeder 50 having a width of 38 mm is mounted on the first feeder bank 40A in which the interval between the rail grooves 41A is 17 mm and the second feeder bank 40B in which the interval between the rail grooves 41B is 12 mm. A multiple of 17 mm is 34 mm, 51 mm, and a multiple of 12 mm is 24 mm, 36 mm, 48 mm, and so on. Among them, the closest multiples of 17 mm and 12 mm are 34 mm and 36 mm. The multiples of 17 mm and 12 mm are close to 51 mm and 48 mm, but both greatly exceed 38 mm, which is the width dimension (occupied width) of the feeder 50.

  Therefore, the interval between the fixed rail 61 and the movable rail 71 of the feeder 50 (see FIG. 7) is configured to be variable within a range of 34 mm to 36 mm. When the feeder 50 is attached to the first feeder bank 40A, the distance between the fixed rail 61 and the movable rail 71 is set to 34 mm, and the rails 41A are provided in two rows of rail grooves 41A with one row of rail grooves 41A. The movable rail 71 is inserted. Further, when the feeder 50 is mounted on the second feeder bank 40B, the distance between the fixed rail 61 and the movable rail 71 is set to 36 mm, and the rail groove 41B is provided in two rows of rail grooves 41B with two rows of rail grooves 41B. 61 and the movable rail 71 are inserted.

  The movable rail 71 can be mounted in the rail groove of another feeder bank as long as it is within the movable range of the movable rail 71, not limited to the first and second feeder banks 40A and 40B. For example, when the distance between the rail grooves of another feeder bank is 18 mm, multiples of 18 mm are 36 mm, 54 mm, and so on, and if 36 mm, they are within the movable range of the movable rail 71. Therefore, the space between the fixed rail 61 and the movable rail 71 may be formed so as to be adjustable so that it can be mounted in the rail grooves of a plurality of types of feeder banks, not limited to the two types of feeder banks.

  Thus, the feeder 50 can be mounted in the rail groove 41A having the first interval L1 and the rail groove 41B having the second interval L2, and two types of feeder banks, the first and second feeder banks 40A and 40B. Thus, the feeder 50 can also be used. Since the movable rail 71 is slid on the support member 76, the distance between the fixed rail 61 and the movable rail 71 can be adjusted. Furthermore, since the movable rail 71 can be changed only by a minimum (2 mm) with respect to the fixed rail 61, the movable rail 71 is slid along the support member 76 without being inclined, and the movable rail 71 is prevented from being bent during sliding. ing.

  Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 7, the attachment operation | movement of the feeder with respect to a feeder bank is demonstrated. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of the operation of attaching the feeder to the feeder bank according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, when the feeder 50 is mounted on the first feeder bank 40 </ b> A, the movable rail 71 is slid with respect to the insertion portion 78 of the support member 76, and the distance between the fixed rail 61 and the movable rail 71. Is adjusted. The fixed rail 61 is inserted into the first row of rail grooves 41A of the first feeder bank 40A, and the movable rail 71 is inserted into the third row of rail grooves 41A of the first feeder bank 40A. Since the fixed rail 61 is fixed to the feeder body 51, the fixed rail 61 is inserted into the rail groove 41A, whereby the feeder 50 is positioned on the first feeder bank 40A with reference to the fixed rail 61.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the feeder 50 is attached to the second feeder bank 40B, the movable rail 71 is slid outward relative to the insertion portion 78 of the support member 76, and the fixed rail 61 and The interval between the movable rails 71 is slightly widened. The fixed rail 61 is inserted into the first row of rail grooves 41B of the second feeder bank 40B, and the movable rail 71 is inserted into the fourth row of rail grooves 41B of the second feeder bank 40B. Since the fixed rail 61 is fixed to the feeder body 51, the fixed rail 61 is inserted into the rail groove 41B, whereby the feeder 50 is positioned in the feeder bank 40B with reference to the fixed rail 61.

  At this time, since the movable rail 71 is slidably attached to the insertion portion 78 of the support member 76, the interval between the fixed rail 61 and the movable rail 71 can be easily varied with a simple configuration. Since the retaining member 79 is provided at the distal end of the insertion portion 78, even if the movable rail 71 is slidably attached to the insertion portion 78, the movable rail 71 does not fall out of the insertion portion 78. Further, since the variable amount of the movable rail 71 is minimal, the movable rail 71 is slid while maintaining the parallel state of the movable rail 71 with respect to the fixed rail 61, and the turning of the movable rail 71 with respect to the insertion portion 78 can be suppressed.

  As described above, in the feeder 50 according to the present embodiment, the distance between the pair of feeder rails 52 can be varied in accordance with the distance between the rail grooves 41 of the feeder bank 40. Therefore, even if the distance between the rail grooves 41 is different for each type of feeder bank 40, the same feeder 50 can be mounted using the two rows of rail grooves 41 of the feeder bank 40. Since it is not necessary to prepare the feeder 50 for each type of the feeder bank 40, it is possible to reduce the operator's work burden required for changing the feeder 50 and reduce the cost.

  In addition, in this Embodiment, although it was set as the structure which can attach a feeder to two types of feeder banks, it is not limited to this structure. The feeder only needs to be attachable to a plurality of types of feeder banks having different rail groove intervals.

  In the present embodiment, the pair of feeder rails are a fixed rail and a movable rail. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. As for a pair of feeder rail, at least one should just be a movable rail, and both may be comprised with a movable rail.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, although the insertion part of the support member was inserted in the attachment hole of the movable rail and the movable rail was slidably attached to the insertion part, it is not limited to this structure. The movable rail only needs to be movably attached to the feeder main body via the support member. For example, the movable rail may be movably attached to the feeder main body by a spring, an actuator, or the like.

  In the present embodiment, the retaining member is an E-ring, but is not limited to this configuration. The retaining member only needs to be a fastener capable of retaining the movable rail, and may be formed of, for example, a C ring, a U ring, a split pin, and a nut.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, although it was set as the structure by which a fixed rail is screwed to a feeder main body, it is not limited to this structure. The fixed rail should just be fixed to the feeder main body, for example, may be fixed with respect to a feeder main body by any system of a fastening system, an adhesion system, a magnetic adhesion system, a joining system, and a crimping system.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, although the movable rail was set as the structure attached to a feeder main body in multiple places, it is not limited to this structure. The movable rail may be attached to the feeder body at one location.

Moreover, in this Embodiment, it is not limited to this structure in which the feeder rail of the feeder and the rail groove | channel of the feeder bank were formed in the cross sectional view substantially T shape. The feeder rail and rail groove should just be formed so that insertion is possible.
Further, in the present embodiment, an example in which the feeder is attached to and detached from the feeder bank provided in the mounting apparatus has been described. It can be easily applied to a cart.

  Moreover, although embodiment and modification of this invention were demonstrated, what combined the said embodiment and modification as the other embodiment of this invention entirely or partially may be sufficient.
