By lowering, the pallet 12 held by the pallet holding tool 17 is transferred onto the pallet carrying table 20.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the pallet transport table 20 on which the pallet 12 is placed moves to a component supply position, that is, a component pick-up position by the flexible substrate transport unit 30, and the flexible substrate 8 stored on the pallet 12 is moved here. And is taken out by the holding head 31. Then, the pallet transport table 20 on which the pallet 12 that has been emptied by removing all the flexible substrates 8 is moved to the lower side of the second pallet transfer unit 19B in the Y direction, and the empty pallet on the pallet transport table 20 is placed. 12 is held by a palette holding tool 17. Then, the pallet holding tool 17 holding the pallet 12 is lowered in a state where the uppermost pallet 12 on the second holding unit 11B is raised to a predetermined pallet receiving height, whereby the empty pallet 12 is moved to the second holding unit 11B. Laminated on top.

  In the above configuration, the pallet transfer table moving mechanism for moving the first lifter mechanism 13A, the second lifter mechanism 13B, the first pallet transfer unit 19A, the second pallet transfer unit 19B, the pallet transfer table 20 and the pallet transfer table 20 is In addition, a component storage unit transporting unit that transports the pallet 12 of the first holding unit 11A to the second holding unit 11B via the component supply position is configured.

  As shown in FIG. 2, on the base part 1a, the first holding part 11A and the second holding part 11B are moved in the Y direction by the first drawing mechanism 26 and the second drawing mechanism 27, respectively, and the first pallet is transferred. The part 19A and the second pallet transfer part 19B are arranged so as to be able to be pulled out from below. The first drawer mechanism 26 has a configuration in which a slide mechanism 42 is interposed between a fixing base 41 fixed on the base portion 1a and a coupling member 43 fixed to the lower surface of the first holding portion 11A. Yes.

  The slide mechanism 42 is a combination of three slide members slidable in the horizontal direction, whereby the first holding portion 11A on the coupling member 43 can be pulled out. When the first holding part 11A is pulled out, the locking state of the first holding part 11A by the locking member 16 is released.

Next, the structure of the second drawer mechanism 27 will be described. In FIG. 2, a slider 46 is slidably fitted in the Y direction on a guide rail 45 disposed on the base portion 1a in the Y direction, and the slider 46 has a horizontally moving portion 47 which is elongated in the horizontal direction. It is fixed to the lower surface. An operation handle 47a is provided at the left end of the horizontal movement unit 47, and the operation handle 47a is provided.
Is held and pulled out to the left, the horizontal moving part 47 moves horizontally out of the base part 1a. A guide rail 48 is disposed in the Y direction on the upper surface of the horizontal moving portion 47, and a slider 49 slidably fitted on the guide rail 48 is fixed to a coupling member 50 coupled to the lower surface of the second holding portion 11B. Has been. Therefore, the second holding portion 11B can freely reciprocate horizontally on the horizontal moving portion 47.

  A first pulley 51 and a first pulley 52 are respectively disposed at both ends of the horizontal moving portion 47, and a belt 53, which is an endless bending material, is disposed on the first pulley 51 and the first pulley 52, and a belt lower portion 53a. The belt upper portions 53b are tuned so as to face each other in a horizontal posture. When the belt 53 is moved around the first pulley 51 and the first pulley 52 and moved, the belt lower portion 53a and the belt upper portion 53b are opposed to each other and run in opposite directions.

  That is, the belt 53 forms a pair of parallel running portions (belt lower portion 53a and belt upper portion 53b) and is mounted on the horizontal moving portion 47 so as to be able to run. The belt lower portion 53a and the belt upper portion 53b are connected to the base portion 1a fixed to the base 1 and the coupling member 50 via the first connecting portion 54a and the second connecting portion 54b, respectively. Therefore, by grasping the operation handle 47a and pulling out the horizontal moving part 47, the second holding part 11B can be pulled out from below the second pallet transfer part 19B. At this time, as will be described later, the second holding unit 11B is moved from the lower side of the second pallet transfer unit 19B to the lower side of the carry-in path 4A in the Y direction so as to be placed on the second holding unit 11B. The pallet 12 can be carried out of the apparatus. Accordingly, the second drawer mechanism 27 is a component storage unit moving unit that moves the second holding unit 11B in the Y direction across the lower portion of the carry-in path 4A as the substrate transfer unit.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 3, FIG. 4, the joining operation | work by the crimping | compression-bonding part 10 is demonstrated. The pressure bonding part 10 has a structure in which the pressure bonding head 39 is lifted and lowered by a head lifting / lowering part 38 mounted downward on the frame 37. The glass substrate 6 in which the connector 7 is bonded to the edge portion in the previous step is held on the Zθ axis table 9Zθ of the substrate positioning portion 9 via the carry-in path 4A. The flexible substrate 8 conveyed to the delivery position by the holding head 31 of the flexible substrate conveying unit 30 is held by a holding table 35 provided on the moving table 34.

  The substrate positioning unit 9 and the flexible substrate positioning unit 33 are controlled by the positioning control unit 40, and by this operation control, the glass substrate 6 and the flexible substrate 8 are moved to the bonding position by the crimp bonding unit 10 to align each other. To do. Therefore, the positioning control unit 40 is a positioning unit that positions the flexible substrate 8 and the glass substrate 6 by controlling the component moving unit and the substrate moving unit.

  FIG. 4 shows the joining operation by the crimp joint 10. That is, in the bonding operation, the Y-axis table 9Y and the Y-axis table 33Y are driven to move the glass substrate 6 and the flexible substrate 8 to just below the head lifting / lowering portion 38 of the pressure bonding portion 10, respectively. The connector 7 is overlapped on the flexible substrate 8 for alignment.

  In this state, the pressure-bonding head 39 is lowered to press the connector 7 against the flexible substrate 8 via the ACF, and is heated by heating means built in the pressure-bonding head 39, so that the connector 7 is attached to the flexible substrate 8. Thermocompression bonding is performed. By holding this thermocompression bonding state for a predetermined time, the connector 7 is joined to the flexible substrate 8, and the flexible substrate 8 is mounted on the glass substrate 6 via the connector 7. The mounted glass substrate 6 is carried out downstream via the carry-out path 4B.

  In the process of repeatedly performing the above-described mounting operation, the pallets 12 supplied in a stacked state on the second holding unit 11B are sequentially taken out, and the flexible substrate 8 is taken out from these pallets 12. Then, the empty pallet 12 from which the flexible substrate 8 is taken out is sequentially collected in a stacked state on the second holding unit 11B by the second pallet transfer unit 19B. When such supply / recovery of the pallet 12 is repeated a predetermined number of times, the pallet 12 storing the flexible substrate 8 disappears in the first holding unit 11A, and the empty pallet 12 becomes full in the second holding unit 11B. In such a state, a pallet supply / collection operation described below is performed.

  FIG. 5 shows a pallet supply operation in the first holding unit 11A. As shown in FIG. 5A, when the pallet 12 is sequentially taken out by the first pallet transfer unit 19A from the first holding unit 11A to which the pallet 12 initially storing the flexible substrate 8 is supplied in a full state, the pallet 12 decreases sequentially. When all the pallets 12 are taken out from the first holding unit 11A, as shown in FIG. 5B, the first holding unit 11A is pulled out of the apparatus by manual operation from below the first pallet transfer unit 19A. At this time, the slide members 42a, 42b, and 42c constituting the slide mechanism 42 slide relative to each other, whereby the first holding portion 11A is held on the fixed base 41 in an overhanging state. In this state, the pallet 12 is newly supplied to the first holding unit 11A.

  FIG. 6 shows a pallet collection operation in the second holding unit 11B. As shown in FIG. 6A, the pallets 12 are sequentially stacked by the second pallet transfer unit 19B on the second holding unit 11B that was initially empty. When the second holding portion 11B is filled with the pallet 12, as shown in FIG. 6B, the operation handle 47a is manually operated to pull out the horizontal moving portion 47. At this time, the slider 46 slides with respect to the guide rail 45 and the slider 49 slides with respect to the guide rail 48.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the belt lower portion 53a is fixed to the base portion 1a by the first connecting portion 54a, and the belt upper portion 53b is fixed to the second holding portion 11B by the second connecting portion 54b. Due to the relative movement of the portion 47 with respect to the base portion 1a, the belt upper portion 53b further moves relative to the horizontal movement portion 47 by the same movement distance. Thereby, by pulling out the horizontal moving part 47 by the drawing stroke L, the second holding part 11B can be moved by the moving stroke 2L which is twice the drawing stroke L.

  By adopting such a configuration, in the layout in which the loader device 3 constituting the component supply system is arranged in a direction orthogonal to the substrate conveyance system in which the carry-in path 4A and the carry-out path 4B are arranged in series, the board conveyance system The configuration for pulling out the second holding portion 11B to the outside of the apparatus across the lower side of the apparatus can be made compact, and a rational apparatus layout can be realized without projecting the component supply system in the board conveying direction. be able to. Therefore, even in an assembly line configured by connecting a plurality of component mounting apparatuses in series, it is possible to save space and reduce size by eliminating wasted space.

  In the above embodiment, the pallet 12 in which the flexible substrate 8 is stored is supplied to the first holding portion 11A disposed on the back side opposite to the display panel transport side, and the second is disposed on the display panel transport side. The empty pallet 12 is collected from the holding unit 11B, but the loader device 3 may be used by switching the supply / recovery allocation to the first holding unit 11A and the second holding unit 11B.

That is, the pallet 12 in which the flexible substrate 8 is stored is stacked and held on the second holding unit 11B, and the pallet 12 is sequentially taken out by the second pallet transfer unit 19B, and the component supply position to the flexible substrate transport unit 30 Transport to. And flexible substrate 8
The empty pallet 12 after being taken out is held in the first holding part 11A by the first pallet transfer part 19A. Even in this case, the second holding portion 11B can be moved across the loading path 4A to the workable position outside the apparatus by the second drawing mechanism 27.

  The component mounting apparatus according to the present invention can realize a reasonable apparatus layout without projecting a component supply system in the board conveyance direction, and has an effect that the assembly line can be saved in space and compact. It is useful in an assembly line configured by connecting a plurality of component mounting apparatuses such as a display panel assembly apparatus.
