Description

This specification discloses a board-to-board work machine and work line, and a method of operating the board-to-board work machine.

Conventionally, this type of board-to-board work machine has a base and a mounting head for mounting components on the board, and switches between a production position where the board is produced with respect to the base and an offset position shifted from the production position. A possible module has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). A plurality of work machines for substrates are arranged in the transport direction of the substrate to form a production line. Each board-oriented work machine has, as operation modes, a production mode in which the module is arranged at the production position, and an operation confirmation mode in which the module is arranged at the offset position. The operating speed of the mounting head in the operation confirmation mode is slower than the operating speed of the mounting head in the production mode.

WO2018/179200

By moving the module to be worked from the production position to the offset position among the plurality of modules lined up in the substrate transport direction, the worker exposes the side of the module to be worked and performs work through the opening formed in the side. It becomes possible to easily access the inside of the target module. However, when the module to be worked is moved to the offset position, the sides of the modules adjacent to the module to be worked are exposed at the same time, so the operator can access the inside of the modules other than the module to be worked. end up In order to ensure safety, it is conceivable to provide a sheet member for covering the opening of the module other than the work target so that the operator cannot access the inside of the module other than the work target. However, when a worker performs maintenance on a module provided with a sheet member, it is necessary to remove the sheet member, which deteriorates maintainability.

A main object of the present disclosure is to ensure the safety of workers in a plurality of board-to-board work machines that constitute a work line.

The present disclosure has taken the following means to achieve the above-mentioned main objectives.

The module 30 includes a feeder 32, a substrate transfer device 33, a head 34, a head moving device 35, etc., as shown in FIGS. These are covered by a box-shaped housing 31 .

Openings 311a and 312a are formed in the left side wall 311 and the right side wall 312 of the housing 31 (both side walls perpendicular to the board transfer direction), respectively. A flip-up type cover member 313 that can be opened and closed is provided on the front surface of the housing 31 . The cover member 313 is provided with an operation panel 38 which is a touch panel display that displays various information such as the operation status of the component mounter 10 and allows various inputs by the operator.

The feeder 32 is detachably attached to a feeder table installed in the front part of the mounter 10 . The feeder 32 includes, for example, a carrier tape in which components are accommodated in a plurality of cavities formed at predetermined intervals, a reel around which the carrier tape is wound, and a tape feeding device that unwinds and feeds the carrier tape from the reel. and a tape feeder.

The substrate transport device 33 is a belt conveyor device that transports the substrate S left and right (in the X-axis direction) by a conveyor belt. The substrate conveying device 33 includes a pair of front and rear conveyor belts that are stretched over a pair of rollers and arranged at a predetermined interval in the front and rear direction (in the Y-axis direction), a belt driving device that drives the conveyor belts to rotate, Prepare.

The substrate S is delivered to the substrate transfer device 33 of the module 30 adjacent to the downstream side).

The head 34 includes a holder to which a suction nozzle as a sampling member is detachably attached, and an elevating device that elevates the holder. The suction nozzle is supplied with a negative pressure from a negative pressure source via an electromagnetic valve, and the suction nozzle is capable of sucking (collecting) a component by means of the negative pressure.

The head moving device 35 moves the head 34 back and forth and right and left (in the XY-axis direction). The head moving device 35 includes a Y-axis slider that moves back and forth (Y-axis direction) driven by a Y-axis motor, and an X-axis slider that moves left and right (X-axis direction) relative to the Y-axis slider driven by an X-axis motor. and a slider. The head 34 is attached to an X-axis slider, and is moved back and forth and left and right (XY-axis directions) by driving an X-axis motor and a Y-axis motor.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a pair of left and right guide grooves 211a are provided on the upper surface of the upper wall 211 of the base 20 to extend in the front-rear direction (in the Y-axis direction). Wheels 315 (see FIGS. 7A and 7B) are provided on the lower surface of the bottom wall 314 of the module 30, and the module 30 is moved with respect to the base 20 by rolling the wheels 315 on the guide grooves 211a. It is slidable in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the modules 30 are arranged, that is, forward and backward (Y-axis direction). The base 20 is also provided with a clamping device 25 for clamping the module 30 to the base 20 and a locking device 26 for locking the module 30 .

The clamp device 25 includes a cylinder 251, a piston rod 252, and a clamper 254, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7A,B. The piston rod 252 is connected to a piston that slides inside the cylinder 251 and can extend and contract with respect to the cylinder 251 . A base end portion of the cylinder 251 is swingably supported by a cylinder swing shaft 253 fixed to the lower surface of the upper wall 211 . The clamper 254 is a bar-shaped swinging member. A center portion of the clamper 254 is attached to a clamper swing shaft 255 fixed to the upper wall 211 of the base 20 so as to swing. The distal end of the piston rod 252 is rotatably connected to the proximal end of the clamper 254 .

As shown in FIG. 7A, when the piston rod 252 contracts with respect to the cylinder 251, the clamper 254 swings counterclockwise about the clamper swing shaft 255 in the figure. A distal end portion 254 a of the clamper 254 is inserted into an opening 211 b formed in the upper wall 211 of the base 20 . As a result, the module 30 is slidable forward (frontward) with respect to the base 20 . On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the piston rod 252 extends relative to the cylinder 251, the clamper 254 swings clockwise about the clamper swing shaft 255 in the drawing. A tip portion 254 a of the clamper 254 protrudes upward from the opening 211 b of the upper wall 211 of the base 20 and engages with a recess 314 a provided on the lower surface of the bottom wall 314 of the module 30 . The module 30 is retracted rearward by swinging of the clamper 254 due to extension of the piston rod 252 while the tip 245a is engaged with the recess 314a. The module 30 is clamped by having the bottom wall 314 of the module 30 ride on the part 211b projecting upward from the upper surface of the upper wall 211 of the base 20 . Further, the module 30 is pushed forward by the oscillation of the clamper 254 due to the contraction of the piston rod 252 in a state where the tip end portion 245a is engaged with the recessed portion 314a. Then, the module 30 is unclamped by canceling the state in which the bottom wall 314 has run over the run-on portion 211a.

The locking device 26 fixes (locks) the module 30 to the base 20 by pressing the module 30 downward while the module 30 is clamped by the clamping device 25 . The locking devices 26 are provided at a plurality of locations on the base 20 (for example, four locations: front left, front right, rear left, and rear right). The lock device 26 includes a cylinder 261, a piston rod 262, and a pressing member 263, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8A,B. The piston rod 262 is connected to a piston that slides inside the cylinder 261 and can extend and contract with respect to the cylinder 261 . A bottom wall 314 of the module 30 is formed with an elongated hole 314b extending in the front-rear direction (Y-axis direction). The piston rod 262 protrudes upward through the long hole 314b. A pressing member 263 is connected to the tip of the piston rod 262 at a position above the bottom wall 314 . Note that the pressing member 263 may be connected to the piston rod 262 via a transmission member.

As the piston rod 262 extends relative to the cylinder 261 , the biasing member 263 is spaced upwardly from the bottom wall 314 of the module 30 , as shown in FIG. 8A. As a result, the module 30 is unlocked from the base 20 . On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8B , when the piston rod 262 contracts with respect to the cylinder 261 , the pressing member 263 engages with the engaged portion 314 c formed along the periphery of the elongated hole 314 b of the bottom wall 314 . The pressing member 263 locks the module 30 by pressing the module 30 against the base 20 with a tensile force due to contraction of the cylinder 261 .

Thus, the module 30 cannot slide when the lock device 26 is in the locked state or the clamp device 25 is in the clamped state. can be slid back and forth. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 9, by pulling out one module 30 forward, the left side wall 311 and the right side wall 312 of the module 30 are exposed to the outside. It is possible to check the state inside the module 30 through the openings 311a and 312a formed in the respective parts of the module 30 and perform the work.

As shown in FIG. 10, the control device 40 of each module 30 is configured as a microprocessor centered around a CPU 41, and in addition to the CPU 41, it has a ROM 42, a RAM 43, and an input/output interface. The control device 40 receives a detection signal from a position sensor that detects the position of the head 34 and a cover opening/closing sensor 313a that detects opening/closing of the cover member 313, an operation signal from the operation panel 38, and a parts camera. 36 or the image signal from the mark camera 37 is inputted. The control device 40 also outputs control signals to the feeder 32 , the substrate transfer device 33 , the head moving device 35 , the parts camera 36 , the mark camera 37 and the like, and outputs display signals to the operation panel 38 . Further, each control device 40 is communicably connected between adjacent modules 30 in the component mounting line 1, and exchanges operation statuses and various signals with each other.

The management device 50 is a general-purpose computer including a CPU, ROM, RAM, storage device (hard disk or SSD), etc., and is connected to the control device 40 of each mounter 10 so as to be communicable. The management device 50 generates a production job that defines which component is to be mounted on which board in each mounter 10 and how many boards on which such components are mounted are to be manufactured. Then, the management device 50 instructs each component mounter 10 to perform production by transmitting the generated production job to each component mounter 10 (control device 40).

Next, the operation of the component mounting line 1 of this embodiment configured in this way will be described. When production is instructed, the CPU 41 of the control device 40 of each module 30 performs mounting processing for mounting components on the board S according to the production job. That is, in the mounting process, the CPU 41 first causes the head moving device 35 to move the head 34 above the component supply position of the feeder 32 . Subsequently, the CPU 41 lowers the suction nozzle by using the lifting device and causes the suction nozzle to suck the component. Next, the CPU 41 causes the head moving device 35 to move the part sucked by the suction nozzle above the parts camera 36 , and the parts camera 36 images the part. When the image is captured, the CPU 41 processes the captured image of the component, measures the suction deviation amount of the component, and corrects the mounting position of the component on the board S. FIG. Then, the CPU 41 causes the head moving device 35 to move the component sucked by the suction nozzle above the corrected mounting position, and the lifting device lowers the suction nozzle to mount the component on the board S.

Next, when an abnormality occurs in some modules 30 (component mounters 10) of the component mounting line 1 and the operation is stopped, the worker removes the target module 30 in order to confirm the problem. The operation when pulling out will be described. A request to pull out a module 30 can be made by an operator operating the operation panel 38 installed on the module 30 while the operation of the module 30 to be pulled out is stopped.

First, the operation of the modules 30 adjacent to the left and right of the module 30 to be pulled out will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of safety processing executed by the CPU 41 of the control device 40. As shown in FIG. This process is repeatedly executed at predetermined time intervals.

When the safety process is executed, the CPU 41 of the control device 40 first determines whether or not there are substrates S to be produced (step S100). When the CPU 41 determines that there is no substrate S to be produced, it terminates the safety process. On the other hand, when determining that there is a board S to be produced, the CPU 41 checks the communication state with the adjacent module 30 to determine whether or not the communication between the modules is normal (step S110). When the CPU 41 determines that communication between modules is not normal, the process proceeds to S170.

When the CPU 41 determines that the communication between the modules is normal, the CPU 41 determines whether the adjacent module 30 has been requested to be pulled out by the worker (pull-out request) (step S120), and whether the adjacent module 30 is in the pulled-out state. It is determined whether or not (step S130), and whether or not the cover member 313 of the adjacent module 30 is in the open state (step S140). The determination in step S120 is made based on the operation signal acquired by acquiring the operation signal from the operation panel 38 from the controller 40 of the adjacent module 30 by communication. The determination in step S130 is made based on the state obtained by obtaining the state of the module 30 from the controller 40 of the adjacent module 30 through communication. The determination in step S140 is made based on the detection signal acquired by acquiring the detection signal from the cover open/close sensor 313a from the controller 40 of the adjacent module 30 through communication.

When the CPU 41 determines in steps S120 to S140 that there is no pull-out request for the adjacent module 30, the adjacent module 30 is not pulled out, and the cover member 313 of the adjacent module 30 is not open, the head 34 is pulled out. It is determined whether or not the operation is stopped (step S150). When the CPU 41 determines that the head 34 is not in operation stop, it ends the safety process. is started (step S160), and the safety process ends.

On the other hand, in steps S110 to S140, the CPU 41 determines that communication between modules is not normal, determines that an adjacent module 30 has requested to be pulled out, or determines that an adjacent module 30 is being pulled out. Or, if it is determined that the cover member 313 of the adjacent module 30 is in the open state, it is determined whether or not the head 34 is in operation stop (step S170). When the CPU 41 determines that the head 34 has stopped operating, it ends the safety processing. On the other hand, when the CPU 41 determines that the head 34 is not in operation stop, it determines whether it is in cycle operation (step S180). Here, the cycle operation is an operation of the head 34 in which one cycle is from the start of the pickup operation of picking up a component from the feeder 32 to the end of the mounting operation of mounting the picked-up component on the board S. When the CPU 41 determines that the cycle operation is not being performed, the CPU 41 stops the operation of the head 34 (step S190) and terminates the safety process. On the other hand, when the CPU 41 determines that the cycle operation is being performed, the CPU 41 waits until the cycle operation is completed, stops the operation of the head 34 (step S190), and ends the safety processing.

As described above, in this embodiment, the CPU 41 cannot normally communicate with the adjacent module 30, requests to pull out the adjacent module 30, pulls out the adjacent module 30, or When the cover member 313 of 30 is opened, the operation of the head 34 is stopped. Also, the CPU 41 can communicate with the adjacent module 30 normally, the adjacent module 30 is not requested to be pulled out, is not in the pulled out state, and the cover member 313 of the adjacent module 30 is not in the open state. , start the movement of the head 34 . As a result, it is possible to ensure safety when the operator pulls out the module 30 to be pulled out and performs the work. When the operator pulls out the module 30 to be pulled out, as shown in FIG. Since the opening 311a of the module 311 is also exposed to the outside, safety is ensured even if the operator reaches into the adjacent module 30 with his hand. In addition, when the cover member 313 of the module 30 is open, the opening spatially communicates with the adjacent module 30 through the openings 311a and 312a of the left side wall 311 or the right side wall 312 of the module 30. , Safety is ensured even if a worker reaches out to the adjacent module 30 through the opening.

Next, the operation of the module 30 to be withdrawn will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of unlocking processing executed by the CPU 41 of the control device 40. As shown in FIG. This process is executed when the operator requests to pull out the module 30 while the module 30 is not operating.

When the unlocking process is executed, the CPU 41 of the control device 40 first determines whether communication between adjacent modules 30 is normal (step S200). When the CPU 41 determines that the communication between the modules 30 is not normal, it terminates the unlocking process. In this case, the lock of the module 30 by the lock device 26 is not released, so the operator cannot pull out the module 30 . This is because the CPU 41 cannot determine whether or not the module 30 can be pulled out safely because the operation status of the adjacent module 30 cannot be grasped.

On the other hand, when the CPU 41 determines that the communication between the modules 30 is normal, it acquires the operation status of the modules 30 adjacent to the left and right (step S210). Acquisition of the operating status is performed by receiving a signal representing the operating status from the controller 40 of the adjacent module 30 by communication. The operation status includes information indicating that the head is operating or that the head is stopped.

Subsequently, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the operation status of the adjacent module 30 indicates that the head is stopped (step S220). When the CPU 41 determines that the operation status of the adjacent module 30 is head operation rather than head stop, the CPU 41 returns to step S200 without unlocking the module 30 . That is, if the head 34 of the adjacent module 30 is operating, the operator cannot pull out the module 30 until the operation is completed. Note that, as described above, the module 30 stops the operation of the head 34 when it receives a pull-out request signal or an open state of the cover member 313 from the adjacent module 30 . Therefore, the process of step S230 is a process of waiting until the adjacent module 30 receives the pull-out request or the open state and stops the operation of the head 34 .

When the CPU 41 determines that the operation status of the adjacent module 30 is that the head is stopped, the CPU 41 controls the locking device 26 so that the module 30 is unlocked and the clamping device 30 so that the clamp of the module 30 is released. 25 (step S230) to end the unlocking process. As a result, the operator can pull out the module 30 and check the inside of the module 30 through the openings 311a and 312a of the left side wall 311 and the right side wall 312 of the module 30, and can perform necessary work. It becomes possible.

Here, correspondence relationships between the components of the present embodiment and the components of the present invention will be clarified. The component mounting line 1 of this embodiment corresponds to the work line of the present disclosure, the component mounter 10 corresponds to the board-to-board work machine, the base 20 corresponds to the base, the head 34 corresponds to the work equipment, and the module 30 corresponds to the module, and the control device 40 corresponds to the control section. Also, the clamping device 25 and the locking device 26 correspond to the locking portion. Also, the cover member 313 corresponds to a cover.

It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be implemented in various forms as long as they fall within the technical scope of the present invention.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, in the unlocking process, the CPU 41 locks the module 30 when the cover member 313 of the adjacent module 30 is closed and the operation status of the adjacent module 30 is head stop. was released. However, the CPU 41 may unlock the module 30 regardless of whether the cover member 313 is opened or closed if the operation status of the module 30 is head stop.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, each mounter 10 is provided with the clamping device 25 that clamps the module 30 to the base 20 and the locking device 26 that locks the module 30 to the base 20 . However, each mounter 10 may have only one of the clamping device 25 and the locking device 26 .

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the board-to-board work machine of the present disclosure is applied to the component mounter 10 that mounts components on a board. However, it may be applied to any other board-to-board work machine such as a printer that prints solder on a board, an adhesive applicator that applies adhesive to a board, or an inspection machine that inspects the results of these work on a board. .

As described above, in the board-to-board work machine of the present disclosure, when the worker performs work such as checking the inside, the adjacent module or the board-to-board work machine stops the operation of the work equipment. Therefore, worker safety can be ensured.

In the board-to-board work machine of the present disclosure, the control unit executes the predetermined work by repeating a cycle operation, and during execution of the cycle operation, the module of the adjacent board-to-board work machine moves to the first position. When moving from the position to the second position, the operation of the work implement may be stopped after the cycle operation being performed is completed. In this way, it is possible to avoid stopping the operation of the work equipment in the middle of the work.

Further, the board-oriented work machine of the present disclosure may be configured as follows. That is, the second board-to-board working machine of the present disclosure includes a lock portion that locks the module so that it cannot be moved at the first position, and a A control unit that releases the lock by the lock unit after the work equipment of the board-to-board work machine adjacent in the work line stops operating. In this way, it is possible to prevent the target module from moving to the second position while the work equipment of the adjacent module is operating, thereby ensuring safety. In this case, the work line is communicably connected to an adjacent board-oriented work machine, and the control unit controls the adjacent board-oriented work machine when movement from the first position to the second position is requested. is acquired through communication to determine whether or not the work equipment of the adjacent board-oriented work machine has stopped operating, and when it is determined that the work equipment has stopped operating, the lock by the lock unit is released. may In this way, it is possible to grasp the state of the adjacent board-oriented work machine through communication and to take appropriate measures. Further, in this case, the control unit does not release the lock by the lock unit even if the movement from the first position to the second position is requested when communication with the adjacent board-oriented work machine is not possible. may be In this way, it is possible to appropriately deal with poor communication.

In the present disclosure, it is also possible to adopt the form of a work line configured by a plurality of work machines for substrates arranged along the transport direction of the substrate. That is, the board-to-board work machine includes a work device and a cover that can be opened and closed, and the work line is arranged so that the cover of the board-to-board work machine adjacent to the work line is in the closed position. A control unit may be provided which controls the work equipment so that a predetermined work is performed on the work equipment and stops the operation of the work equipment while the cover of the adjacent board-working machine is in the open position. In this way, even if a worker tries to access the adjacent board-to-board working machine through the opening of the cover, the safety can be ensured.

Further, the present disclosure can also be in the form of a method for operating a work machine for a board.
