Description

  The present invention relates to an electronic component mounting apparatus used in an electronic component mounting line for mounting an electronic component on a board and an information code in an electronic component mounting apparatus that reads an information code applied in advance to the board in the electronic component mounting apparatus. It relates to a reading method.

  In recent years, in the manufacturing industry, it has been required to ensure so-called traceability that enables individual product histories to be traced due to a requirement for product quality assurance. For example, in an electronic component mounting line that manufactures a mounting board on which electronic components are mounted in the electronic equipment manufacturing field, the defective board is identified by going back to the process so that the cause can be investigated if a defect is discovered after the post-process or product shipment. It is requested to do. For this reason, board information indicating a product type, a production lot number, a production date, and the like is applied to the board flowing through the electronic component mounting line for each board using an information code such as a barcode or a two-dimensional code. The information code is read each time these boards are carried into each device constituting the electronic component mounting line.

Such reading of the information code is generally performed by image recognition, and information of the information code is read by performing recognition processing on an image obtained by capturing an information code such as a barcode or a two-dimensional code with a camera. As a method of reading information by such a camera, conventionally, an information code is applied in the vicinity of a recognition mark formed on the substrate for substrate position recognition, and recognition is performed by a substrate recognition camera provided in each device. The information code is imaged by a method (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-260260) that executes the imaging of the information code at the time of imaging the mark or the information code application position is fixed for reading the information code. A method of performing imaging (see Patent Document 2) is known.

Then, it is transported and mounted on the substrate 3 positioned in the transport path 2.

  A component recognition device 6 is disposed between the component supply unit 4 and the conveyance path 2, and the component is moved when the mounting head 17 that has taken out the electronic component from the component supply unit 4 moves above the component recognition device 6. The recognition device 6 captures and recognizes an electronic component held by the mounting head 17. As shown in FIG. 2, a substrate recognition camera 20 that moves integrally is mounted on the mounting head 17 via a coupling bracket 16 positioned below the X-axis table 13. As shown in FIG. 3, the camera 20 is mounted on a camera mounting portion 19 provided on the coupling bracket 16 in a posture in which the imaging optical axis “a” is directed downward, and the substrate 3 positioned by the transport path 2 together with the mounting head 17.

The X-axis movement table 13 and the Y-axis movement table 7 that move the mounting head 17 constitute an imaging movement unit that moves the imaging unit relative to the substrate 3.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 4, the structure of the camera attachment part 19 provided accompanying the mounting head 17 is demonstrated. The camera attachment portion 19 is provided for attaching the camera 20 to the mounting head 17. In this embodiment, the camera attachment portion 19 is provided with the parts described below on the coupling bracket 16 to which the mounting head 17 is connected. Part 19 is configured.

The camera 20 is fastened and fixed to the back surface 16c of the coupling bracket 16 by the fastening bolt 21 in the contacted state.

  Next, the recognition mark 3a and the information code 22 formed on the substrate 3 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 5A, recognition marks 3 a are provided at two opposing diagonal positions that form a pair on the substrate 3. The position of the recognition mark 3a is determined by moving the camera 20 above the board 3 transported by the transport path 2 and transported to the component mounting position, and performing recognition processing on images obtained by sequentially capturing the two recognition marks 3a. Be recognized. In the component mounting operation on the substrate 3 by the mounting head 17, position correction when mounting the electronic component on the substrate based on the position recognition result of the recognition mark 3 a and the position recognition result of the electronic component by the component recognition device 6 described above is performed. Done.

  In the vicinity of the recognition mark 3 a at one diagonal position of the substrate 3, an information code 22 in which various information about the substrate 3 is recorded is applied in advance in the previous process. The information code 22 includes various information related to the substrate 3 such as ID information for identifying the substrate as an individual, product information including the type / attribute of the substrate, and production management information indicating the production history of the substrate. Information is interwoven. Similar to the recognition mark 3a, the information code 22 is captured as an image by being captured by the camera 20, and the above-described various information is read by performing recognition processing on the image.

  FIG. 5B shows a comparison between the size of the imaging visual field 20a by the camera 20 and the sizes of the recognition mark 3a and the information code 22 by enlarging one diagonal position of the substrate 3. The camera 20 is originally provided for the purpose of imaging the recognition mark 3a, and the two-side dimensions a and b of the imaging field of view 20a are sizes that can completely include the recognition mark 3a. On the other hand, since the information code 22 is an information code having a large amount of information including various kinds of information as described above, the size (two-side dimensions c and d) of the applied code increases, and information is obtained depending on the imaging field of view 20a. The entire code 22 cannot be covered. For this reason, in the present embodiment, as described below, the information code 22 is imaged a plurality of times by the camera 20 to obtain a divided image of the information code 22, and the obtained divided images are combined to obtain information. A single image of the code 22 is obtained.

  Next, the configuration of the control system will be described with reference to FIG. Here, of the control functions of the electronic component mounting apparatus, only functions related to imaging and reading of the information code 22 are shown. In FIG. 6, a control unit 30 is an arithmetic device provided with a CPU, and performs control that controls each unit described below. The storage unit 31 is a storage device such as a hard disk, and stores control programs for various processes described below, as well as the information code 22 previously applied to the substrate 3 on which electronic components are mounted in the previous process. Substrate data including data relating to shape and size is stored in advance.

  The information code division imaging pattern setting unit 32 generates a division imaging pattern for acquiring, by the camera 20, a division image obtained by dividing the information code 22 previously applied to the substrate and having a size larger than the size of the imaging field of view 20 a of the camera 20. Set. These divided images are acquired by imaging the information code 22 multiple times by the camera 20 while moving the camera 20 by the imaging moving means. Here, the information code division imaging pattern setting unit 32 sets the division imaging pattern based on the size of the imaging visual field 20a and the size of the information code 22 stored in the storage unit 31.

The information code image synthesizing unit 33 generates a single image of the information code 22 by synthesizing the divided images of the information code 22 acquired by the camera 20. The information code reading unit 34 reads information of the information code 22 from a single image of the combined information code 22. The drive unit 35 includes an X-axis movement table 13 and a Y-axis movement table 13 that form a camera movement mechanism that moves the camera 20
The linear motors (camera X-axis motor 13M and camera Y-axis motor 7M) provided on the axis movement table 7 are driven. The control unit 30 controls the drive unit 35 and the camera 20 based on the divided imaging pattern set by the information code divided imaging pattern setting unit 32, so that the camera 20 moves above the substrate 3 and the information code 22 is transmitted. A plurality of divided images are acquired by imaging a plurality of times. Therefore, the control unit 30 functions as an imaging control unit that controls the imaging unit and the imaging movement unit based on the divided imaging pattern. The recognition unit 36 recognizes the image data acquired by the camera 20 and thereby recognizes the position of the recognition mark 3a.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 7, a method for reading an information code on a substrate in an electronic component mounting apparatus used in an electronic component mounting line for mounting electronic components on a substrate will be described. Here, processing is shown in the case of reading an information code 22 that is applied in advance to the substrate 3 and whose size is larger than the size of the imaging field of view of the camera 20 that is the imaging means.

  In FIG. 7, first, the substrate 3 is carried into the transport path 2 from the upstream device (ST1), and the substrate data of the substrate 3 is read from the storage unit 31, whereby the information code 22 applied to the substrate 3 is read. Data including size is read. Next, the information code 22 is divided in accordance with the size of the imaging visual field 20a of the camera 20 (ST2). That is, while the camera 20 is moved by the imaging moving means, a divided imaging pattern for acquiring a divided image obtained by dividing the information code 22 by the camera 20 is set by the information code divided imaging pattern setting unit 32 (divided imaging pattern). Setting process).

  FIG. 8A shows an example of the divided imaging pattern set in this way. Here, as shown in (a), a divided imaging pattern in the case where the information code 22 is divided and imaged by the imaging field of view 20a having two side dimensions a and b smaller than the size of the information code 22 is shown. In other words, the representative point representing the position of the imaging field of view 20a (here, one corner point CP of the rectangular frame of the imaging field of view 20a) is set to a form that constitutes each corner of the rectangle as shown in (b). A pattern is used in which the information code 22 is imaged by the camera 20 while sequentially moving to the two information code imaging positions P1, P2, P3, and P4. Thereby, as shown in FIG.8 (b), the divided images G1-G4 which divided the information code 22 into 4 are acquirable.

  Here, P2 is a position where P1 is moved in the X direction by the moving pitch px, P3 is a position where P1 is moved by the moving pitch py in the Y direction, and P4 is a position where P1 is moved in the X direction by the moving pitch px, Y direction. Corresponds to the positions moved by the movement pitch py. That is, by setting these information code imaging positions P1, P2, P3, and P4 so as to overlap the position where the information code 22 is formed on the substrate 3, an information code larger than the size of the imaging field of view of the camera 20 is read. In this case, the divided imaging pattern is set. When the size of the target information code is larger, the number of board information code imaging positions corresponding to this size is set. That is, here, the divided imaging pattern is set based on the size of the imaging field of view 20a and the size of the information code 22.

  Next, the information code 22 is divided by controlling the camera 20 and the imaging moving means (the Y-axis movement table 7 and the X-axis movement table 13) for moving the camera 20 by the control unit 30 according to the set divided imaging pattern. An image is acquired (divided image acquisition step). That is, first, the representative point of the imaging visual field 20a is moved to the first division information code imaging position P1 (ST3), and the first division board information code is imaged by the camera 20, as shown in FIG. 8B. A first divided image G1 is acquired (ST4).

Then, the presence or absence of the next division is confirmed (ST5). If the next division is present, the process returns to (ST3) and the same processing is executed for the next division. As shown in FIG. The divided images G2, G3,... Of the second division, the third division,. Then, in (ST5), it is confirmed that there is no next division, and the divided image acquisition step is ended. In the divided imaging pattern shown in FIG. 8A, the movement pitches px and py are both set smaller than the two-side dimensions a and b of the imaging visual field 20a, and as a result, shown in FIG. 8B. All of the divided images G1 to G4 have ranges that overlap each other.

  Next, an image composition process of the information code 22 is executed (ST6). That is, a single image of the information code 22 is generated by combining the divided images obtained in this way by the information code image combining unit 33 (image combining step). In the image synthesizing process shown in the present embodiment, the above overlapping ranges are overlapped and pattern matching is performed so that the divided images are aligned with each other with high accuracy. The image composition processing by pattern matching will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, the overlapping portions A1R and A2L of the divided images G1 and G2 shown in FIG. 9A are overlapped with each other, and pattern matching is performed, so that the division is performed via the overlapping range A12 shown in FIG. 9B. The image G1 and the divided image G2 are combined into one image. Next, by performing pattern matching by superimposing the overlapping portions A1D and A3U of the divided images G1 and G3 shown in FIG. 9C on each other, the overlapping range A13 shown in FIG. The divided image G1 and the divided image G3 are combined into one image.

  Further, by performing pattern matching by superimposing the overlapping portions A2D and A3R of the divided images G2 and G3 shown in FIG. 10B on the overlapping portions A4U and A4L of the divided image G4, respectively, as shown in FIG. The divided image G4 is combined with the other three divided images G1, G2, and G3 through the overlapping range A24 and the overlapping range A34 having the L shape shown in c). Thereby, a single image of the information code 22 obtained by synthesizing the divided images divided into four is obtained. Information reading is then performed (ST7). That is, the information code reading unit 34 reads various types of information recorded in the information code 22 from the combined single image (information reading step).

  FIG. 11 shows another example of the divided imaging pattern and the image synthesis process when the image of the information code 22 is synthesized from the divided image obtained by dividing the information code 22 into four grids, similarly to the divided imaging pattern described above. ing. In the example shown here, ranges that overlap each other are not provided in the divided images. That is, as shown in FIG. 11A, in this example, the movement pitches px and py in the divided image acquisition step are set to be equal to the two-side dimensions a and b of the imaging visual field 20a shown in FIG.

  Thereby, the divided images G1 to G4 are acquired in a form without the overlapping range shown in FIGS. When combining these divided images to generate a single image, as shown in FIG. 11B, corner points corresponding to representative points in the divided images G1 to G4 are captured by the board information code. The divided images G1 to G4 are translated in the X and Y directions so as to coincide with the positions P1 to P4, and these images are bonded. As a result, it is possible to execute the image composition process by a quick and simple process only by translating and pasting the images without performing pattern matching.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, a divided imaging pattern for obtaining a plurality of divided images by imaging an information code having a size larger than the size of the imaging field of the imaging unit is set and imaged. A single image of the information code is generated by synthesizing a plurality of divided images obtained by controlling the means and the imaging moving means according to the divided imaging pattern. As a result, the information code can be read at a low cost with a simple mechanism without requiring a large-field imaging means or a dedicated imaging means.

  The electronic component mounting apparatus and the information code reading method in the electronic component mounting apparatus according to the present invention do not require an imaging means with a large field of view or a dedicated imaging means, and the information code can be read with a simple mechanism and at a low cost. And can be used for various devices in the electronic component mounting field such as an electronic component mounting device.
