Description

  The present invention relates to a surface mounter in which a large number of feeders are detachably attached to a feeder installation region of a mounter body.

  As a surface mounter for mounting an electronic component such as an IC chip on an electric circuit board such as a printed circuit board, for example, a reel on which a tape on which a plurality of electronic components are mounted is wound, and this reel is attached and detached. It is generally known to include a feeder that is detachably attached to the main body of the mounting machine while being held in a possible state, and that allows a plurality of feeders to be attached to the mounting machine main body.

  In this type of mounting machine, the operator has visually confirmed what kind of electronic component is accommodated in the mounting machine, but such confirmation work is complicated. There is a risk of confirmation error.

  Therefore, recently, a technology has been developed that allows the feeder itself to have information on the feeder and the electronic components accommodated in the feeder, and that the information is given to the mounting machine body when the feeder is attached to the mounting machine body. Has been.

For example, as shown in Patent Document 1, the feeder is provided with a storage unit that stores the feeder ID, the electronic component information, and the like, and a connection terminal unit that enables transmission and reception of information stored in the storage unit. The machine body is provided with a terminal corresponding to the connection terminal part and a computer coupled to the terminal, and when the feeder is mounted on the mounting machine body, the connection terminal part of the feeder contacts the terminal of the mounting machine body. In this state, the computer and the storage unit of the feeder directly communicate with each other, so that the computer recognizes what information is transmitted from which feeder is located, and the feeder is placed in an appropriate position. It can be determined whether it is arranged.

  However, in the structure shown in the above publication, only the feeder ID and the electronic component information are stored in the storage unit provided in the feeder, and the reel attached to the feeder is inappropriate. If it is impossible to determine whether or not it is a thing and an inappropriate reel is attached to the feeder, it is difficult to recognize such a situation.

  Therefore, the present invention makes it possible to more reliably mount the electronic component at an appropriate position on the electric circuit board by making it possible to determine whether or not an appropriate reel is attached to the feeder. With the goal.

The present invention relates to a reel on which a tape containing a plurality of electronic components is wound, a feeder that removably holds the reel, and mounting for mounting electronic components supplied from the feeder on an electric circuit board. A surface mounting machine in which the feeder is detachably attached to the mounting machine body, and the reel stores reel-side storage means for storing information relating to the electronic component, and the reel-side storage means. Transmitting means for transmitting the transmitted information to the feeder, the feeder receiving means for receiving the information transmitted from the transmitting means, and the information received by the feeder receiving means for the mounting machine A feeder side transmitting means for transmitting to the main body, and the mounting machine main body receives the information transmitted from the feeder side transmitting means.

A determination unit configured to determine whether the reel is disposed at an appropriate position; and a display unit configured to display a result determined by the determination unit, wherein the transmission unit is disposed at a position near the central axis of the reel. The feeder-side receiving means is arranged at a position overlapping the central axis of the reel and the transmitting means in the feeder as viewed in the central axis direction with the reel held by the feeder .

  According to this configuration, the reel has the reel-side storage device that records information about the electronic component, and the information stored in the reel-side storage device is received by the transmitting means and the feeder-side reception. It can be transmitted to the mounting machine body through the means and the feeder side transmitting means.

  That is, since the reel itself can have ID information and information on electronic components, and this information can be transmitted to the mounting machine main body side through the feeder, the feeder and the reel are attached at appropriate positions. Can be determined.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the reel from being attached at an incorrect position and more reliably to mount the electronic component at an appropriate position. The reel-side transmitting means is disposed in the vicinity of the central axis of the reel, and the feeder-side receiving means holds the reel on the feeder, and the reel's central axis and the transmitting means and the central axis in the feeder. Since they are arranged at overlapping positions in the direction view, the reel-side transmitting means and the feeder-side receiving means can always be brought close to each other without depending on the rotation of the reels.

The received information may be transmitted from the feeder side transmission means to the main body side reception means.

  According to such a configuration, since the feeder-side transmitting unit and the main body-side receiving unit are connected, it is possible to supply power from the connecting portion to the feeder from the mounting machine main body. Therefore, the feeder need not be provided with a power source for operating the feeder-side receiving device, and the feeder can be downsized.

  In the surface mounter of the present invention, the feeder-side transmission means includes an electric circuit for wireless communication that emits electromagnetic waves, and the main body-side reception means receives the electromagnetic waves transmitted from the feeder-side transmission means. It can be made up of an antenna.

  According to such a configuration, since transmission of information from the feeder-side transmitting unit to the main-unit-side receiving unit can be performed by electromagnetic waves, that is, wirelessly, the feeder-side transmitting unit and the main-unit-side receiving unit are reliably connected. The information can be transmitted to the main body receiving means without contacting the main body. Therefore, it is possible to transmit the information of the reel itself to the mounting machine body more reliably.

  Furthermore, in the surface demonstrator of the present invention, there is a carriage for enabling the mounting of a plurality of the feeders so that these feeders can be attached to and detached from the mounting machine body at the same time. It is also possible to provide a cart side transmission / reception means for receiving the information transmitted from the feeder side transmission means and transmitting the information to the main body side reception means.

  According to this configuration, the carriage includes the carriage-side transmission / reception means for receiving the information transmitted from the feeder-side transmission means and transmitting the information to the main body-side reception means. In order to improve the mounting to the mounting machine body, even when using a cart that allows multiple feeders to be attached and detached at the same time, the information that the reel itself has is more reliably transmitted to the mounting machine body It becomes possible to do.

  As described above, the surface mounter according to the present invention has ID information and information on electronic components in the reel itself, and can transmit this information to the mounter body through the feeder. It can be determined whether the feeder and the reel are attached to a position.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the reel from being attached to an incorrect position, and to more surely mount the electronic component at an appropriate position on the electric circuit board.
