[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an IC storage container reversing device, and more particularly to improving the reliability of reversing operation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An IC completed in an IC manufacturing process
Is attached to the IC storage tube 13 as shown in FIG.
In the form shown in FIG. At the time of storage, the IC is automatically stored by an automatic machine or the like.
As described above, in order to work with an automatic machine or the like, it is necessary to supply the IC housing tube in a certain direction. Therefore,
The direction of the IC storage tube 13 was made constant by using the IC storage tube reversing device shown in FIG.

FIG. 1 shows the structure of an IC storage tube reversing device.
1 will be described. IC storage tube reversing device 1
Is formed from a positioning block 3, a table 5, and a pusher 7. The positioning block 3 is a table 5
And a slope 9 is provided. further,
A pin 18 is fixed to the pusher 7.
Is provided with a spring 21. A push plate 12 is fixed to the tip of the cylinder 11.
Is provided with a hole for receiving the pin 18.

As shown in FIG. 9, the IC housing tube 13 has a first wide surface 23, a second wide surface 25, a third narrow surface 27, and a fourth narrow surface 29. Further, the second wide surface 25 is provided with convex portions 24a and 24b,
Further, the first wide surface 23, the third narrow surface 27 and the fourth
Have slanted surfaces 28a and 28b, respectively. The IC 20 is housed inside the surfaces 23 to 29,
Further, the leads 22 of the IC 20 are housed in the protrusions 24a and 24b.

Next, a reversing operation of the IC storage tube 13 by the IC storage tube reversing device 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the case where the second wide surface 25 of the IC housing tube 13 is carried upward will be described. First, the IC storage tube 13 is carried between the positioning block 3 and the pusher 7. Next,
The push plate 12 is pressed by the cylinder 11, and the force is transmitted to the pusher 7 via the spring 21. Then
The third narrow surface 27 is formed by one side 15 of the pusher 7.
It will be pressed. As a result, as shown in FIG. 12, the slope 28a runs on the slope 9 of the positioning block 3, and the reversing operation starts. In addition, pusher 7
As shown in FIG. 13, the IC housing tube 13 is turned upright with the third narrow surface 27 as the bottom surface, that is, the IC housing tube 13 is rotated 90 degrees from the beginning. After this state, the pusher 7 retreats, but the IC housing tube 13 further rotates by the inertia force of the reversing operation. As a result, as shown in FIG. 14, the first wide surface 23 faces upward, and the reversing operation is completed. Note that the cylinder 11 is operated by hydraulic pressure, air, or the like.

On the other hand, the IC housing tube 13 may be transported with the first wide surface 23 facing upward as shown in FIG. In this case, the operation of the IC storage tube reversing device 1 is the same. That is,
The push plate 12 is pressed by the cylinder 11, and the force is transmitted to the pusher 7 via the spring 21. Then
The third narrow surface 27 is formed by one side 15 of the pusher 7.
It will be pressed. However, in this state,
Since the IC storage tube 13 does not have a slope for climbing up the slope 9, the IC storage tube 13 has one side 17 of the positioning block 3 and one side 15 of the pusher 7 as shown in FIG. It is sandwiched and does not enter the inversion operation. Further, even if the cylinder 11 advances, the spring 2
By the contraction of 1, the pusher 7 adjusts the movement to move forward, so that the pusher 7 is brought in after all, that is, the first wide surface 23 is kept facing upward.

As described above, the IC storage tube 13 is
Regardless of the direction in which the IC storage tube reversing device 1 is moved, the IC storage tube reversing device 1 performs an operation once.
The C storage tube 13 always faces the state where the first wide surface 23 faces upward.

[0009]

However, in the above-described IC housing tube reversing device 1, the reversing operation is completed by utilizing the inertia force during the reversing operation. Therefore, the IC storage tube is rotated 90 degrees as shown in FIG.
(In a state of standing upright with the narrow surface 27 as the bottom surface). As a result, one of the IC storage tubes
Part stops on the slope 28a,
The wide surface 25 returns to a state in which it faces upward. That is,
There is a possibility that the inversion operation cannot be performed reliably.

[0010] It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide an IC storage tube reversing device that performs a reliable reversing operation.

It is characterized by the following.

[0012]

In the IC storage tube reversing device according to the present invention, the forcible reversing member moves together with the pressing member.
And the pressing member moves in the opposite direction.
At this time, the upper part of the wide surface of the upright bar-shaped member located on the side of the projection is pressed in the opposite direction. Therefore, even when the bar-shaped member stops in the upright state, when the pressing member moves in the reverse direction, the bar-shaped member can be pulled down by the forcible reversing member, and the reversal can be reliably completed.

[0013]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an IC storage tube reversing device 31 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The structure of the IC storage tube reversing device will be described with reference to FIG. The IC storage tube reversing device 31 includes a positioning block 3, a table 5, and a pusher 7. The positioning block 3 is fixed to the table 5 and has a slope 9. Further, a notch 10 is provided on the slope 9. A claw 8 and a pin 18 are fixed to the pusher 7 by screws or the like, and a spring 21 is provided around the pin 18. Further, a push plate 12 is fixed to the tip of the cylinder 11, and a pin 1 is attached to the push plate 12.
A hole is provided for receiving 8.

Next, the reversing operation of the IC storage tube 13 by the IC storage tube reversing device 1 will be described with reference to FIG. First, a case where the second wide surface 25 of the IC storage tube 13 is carried upward will be described. The IC storage tube 13 is carried between the positioning block 3 and the pusher 7. Next, the pressing plate 12 is pressed by the cylinder 11, and the force is transmitted to the pusher 7 via the spring 21. Then, the third narrow surface 27 is pressed by one side 15 of the pusher 7. As a result, as shown in FIG.
Moves on the slope 9 of the positioning block 3, and the reversing operation starts. Further, when the pusher 7 moves forward, as shown in FIG. 4, the pusher 7 is in an upright state with the third narrow surface 23 as the bottom surface. That is, the IC storage tube 13
Is rotated by 90 degrees from the beginning.

After this state, the pusher 7 retreats. At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, the IC storage tube 13 is caught by the claw 8 and further rotated, as shown in FIG. Then, the first wide surface 23 faces upward and the reversal is completed. Thus, the IC storage tube 13 is 9
After the rotation by 0 degrees, the reversal is surely completed by the claw 8, so that the positioning of the IC storage tube 13 is ensured. Since the notch 10 is provided on the slope 9, the claw 8 does not interfere with the positioning block 3.

On the other hand, it is conceivable that the IC housing tube 13 is carried with the first wide surface 23 facing upward as shown in FIG. In this case, the operation of the IC storage tube reversing device 1 is the same. That is, the pressing plate 12 is pressed by the cylinder 11, and the force is transmitted to the pusher 7 via the spring 21. Then, the fourth narrow surface 29 is pressed by one side 15 of the pusher 7. However, in this situation, I
Since the C storage tube 13 does not have a slope for climbing up the slope 9, the IC storage tube 13 has one side 17 of the positioning block 3 and one side 15 of the pusher 7 as shown in FIG. It is sandwiched and does not enter the inversion operation. Further, even if the cylinder 11 moves forward, the spring 21 contracts, thereby adjusting the movement of the pusher 7 to move forward. When the pusher 7 moves backward, I
The C storage tube 13 is not in an upright state with the third narrow surface 27 as the bottom surface, and is lower than the claw 8, so that the C storage tube 13 is not caught on the claw 8. As a result, the state is finally brought in, that is, the first wide surface 23 is kept facing upward.

As shown in FIG. 4, it is necessary to hook the upper part of the claw 8 in a state where the third narrow surface 27 is upright with the third narrow surface 27 as a bottom surface. Where I
The shape of the C storage tube 13 differs depending on the shape of the IC to be stored, and the wide surface becomes longer or shorter than the narrow surface. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, by inserting a spacer 33 between the claw 8 and the pusher 7,
The height of the nail 8 is adjusted. Alternatively, nails 8 having different lengths may be prepared and used according to the shape of the IC storage tube 13.

[0019]

In the IC storage tube reversing device according to the present invention, the device is configured to move together with the pressing member.
When the pressing member moves in the opposite direction,
A forced reversing member that presses the upper portion of the wide surface of the rod-shaped member located on the convex side in the reverse direction. Therefore, the inversion can be surely completed without the rod-shaped member stopping in the upright state . This makes it possible to obtain a highly reliable IC storage container reversing device with a reliable reversing operation.
