Description

  The present invention relates to a carrier tape manufacturing method for storing and transporting electronic components and a manufacturing apparatus therefor.

  Chip parts (hereinafter referred to as parts) used in electronic devices have been reduced in size and width year by year. At present, it is difficult to mount such small parts on electronic devices by hand, so an automatic mounting apparatus has been developed. However, in order to be able to attach the small parts as described above accurately and automatically in a short time using an automatic mounting device, not only the automatic mounting device but also the dimensional accuracy and strength of the carrier tape, paper dust and Quality such as lack is also a problem. Conventionally, as a paper carrier tape for storing and transporting electronic components, through holes are formed in a paper base material, and lids are attached to both sides of the base material with electronic components stored in the through holes. It has been known. In this case, the lid material is attached to both surfaces of the base material, but it is complicated to attach the lid material to both surfaces of the base material. Recently, there is a simple paper carrier tape having a structure in which a concave portion is press-formed on a paper base material by punching and a cover material is attached to only one side of the base material. Hereinafter referred to as a paper press carrier tape. In this case, it is a paper carrier tape in which small parts are stored in a number of storage recesses arranged along the feeding direction, and the surface of the storage recess is covered with a covering tape to wrap the small parts. At the same time, a row of conveying through holes for transferring the tape is formed next to the row of concave portions.

  The press molding means described above was to produce a paper press carrier tape by molding a row of recesses and through holes in the paper substrate feed direction. It is called a single press carrier manufacturing device. When molding recesses by punching from a paper substrate, the shape of the recesses is not constant due to the compressibility of the raw paper and the properties of the paper fibers, and the paper dust during molding is It has been pointed out that it adversely affects storage and mounting. Various press molding means have been developed so far to solve the above problems.

  Electronic components are becoming smaller and used in large quantities year by year, and press carrier tapes are also used in a large number of storage recesses in the width direction of wide paper base tapes in order to further increase production efficiency and reduce production costs. A paper press carrier tape is manufactured by press molding means provided with a mold for molding the paper and cutting means for cutting the paper base material in a feeding direction (called a slit) so as to have a storage recess and a through hole for conveyance. Manufacturing methods and manufacturing equipment have been investigated. A carrier tape manufacturing apparatus having means for forming a large number of storage recesses in the width direction and means for cutting is called a multiple press carrier tape manufacturing apparatus. A means for molding a large number of storage recesses in the width direction is called a multiple press molding means.

  However, in a multiple paper press carrier tape manufacturing apparatus, the distance from the side surface of the carrier tape to the center of the through hole (referred to as E dimension) and the dimensional accuracy of each part of the tape, such as the recess, are problematic. The decrease in the dimensional accuracy of the E dimension and the concave portion becomes a problem in automatic electronic component storage and mounting, and even if multiple press dies are installed, it does not necessarily lead to an improvement in manufacturing efficiency and production amount expected from the multiple. As a result of elucidating the cause of the seriousness, in the cutting means, in the width direction of the paper substrate when cutting in the feed direction by pressing the blade against the paper substrate and the horizontal deviation of the paper substrate by feeding the paper substrate It was found that the dimensional accuracy of paper press carrier tape, such as E dimension, decreased due to the spread of the paper. When the press-molded paper base material is transferred through the cutting means, a protrusion from the other bottom surface of the paper base material (hereinafter referred to as a concave protrusion) contacts the die plate surface, It was also found that the shape was damaged and the dimensional accuracy was lowered. Recently, electronic parts are further miniaturized, and further improvement in dimensional accuracy is required.

  The following are examples of problems to be solved in a press carrier tape manufacturing apparatus having five or more continuous press carriers. (1) In the cutting means, the paper base material is laterally moved by feeding the paper base material, and the dimensional accuracy such as E dimension of the paper press carrier tape is lowered as compared with a single unit. (2) When the cutting means presses the blade against the paper substrate and performs a number of cuts in the feed direction, the paper substrate spreads in the width direction and the dimensional accuracy such as E dimension of the paper press carrier tape is simply connected Compared to (3) In the cutting means, the concave projection comes into contact with the die plate, and the shape of the concave is collapsed, and the dimensional accuracy of the concave is lowered. An object of the present invention is to provide a manufacturing method and a manufacturing apparatus for solving the above-described problems and mass-producing a paper press carrier tape accurately and inexpensively using a multiple press die.

  The invention of claim 1 is a means for cutting in the feed direction a wide paper substrate in which a number of rows of recesses are formed in the width direction by multiple press molding means, and pilots are provided at both ends in the width direction of the paper substrate. And a groove having a shape and size sufficient to allow the protrusion of the recess to pass therethrough is provided in the die plate.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, the pilot according to the first aspect is installed in an upper mold in which the pilot descends, and the shape thereof is a rectangular parallelepiped that is long in the feed direction, and the portion that comes into contact with the paper substrate when descending is tapered from the bottom to the top. The die plate is provided with a space sufficient to accommodate the lowering of the tapered surface, which is a rectangular pilot whose surface is a plane having a height equal to or greater than the thickness of the paper substrate. It is characterized by that.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, the pilot according to the first aspect is installed in an upper mold where the pilot descends, and a portion in contact with the paper base when the lowering is a tapered surface inclined from the bottom surface toward the upper portion. It is characterized by having a shape in which two or more prisms, which are flat surfaces having a height equal to or greater than the thickness of the base material, are arranged, and a sufficient gap portion is provided in the die plate to accommodate the descending tapered surface portion. To do.

The invention according to claim 4 is the step of grasping the paper base material and feeding it to the die plate and holding the concave portions on the base material by the square punch rows arranged in the width direction of the paper base material, and simultaneously the same number of round punch rows. Forming a through hole and a step of cutting the formed paper base material in the feed direction, and in the cutting step, pilots are provided at both ends in the width direction of the paper base material, and the protruding portion of the recess passes. A sufficient groove is provided in the die plate.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the following problems that occur when cutting a wide paper substrate having a plurality of rows of recesses and rows of through holes in the width direction are solved. (1) When the paper base material is fed by the cutting means, the paper base material is pinched by the pilot, so that no side shake occurs, and the dimensional accuracy such as E dimension does not deteriorate. (2) In the cutting means, when the blade presses the paper substrate and cuts the paper substrate in the feed direction, the pilot holding the paper substrate is prevented from spreading in the width direction, and dimensional accuracy such as E dimension is improved. Do not decrease. (3) By setting a groove in the die plate when the paper base material passes through the cutting means, it is possible to cut without impairing the dimensional accuracy of the concave portion due to the concave portion protruding portion becoming the die plate surface.

  According to the invention described in claim 2, the paper base is spread and laterally displaced by the cutting means, which is installed in the upper die where the rectangular parallelepiped pilot which is long in the feed direction descends and is integrated with the multiple press molding. By suppressing it, the dimensional accuracy can be increased. The part that contacts the paper substrate when descending is a tapered surface, and when further descending, the lower part of the rectangular parallelepiped having the tapered surface is housed in a gap portion installed in the die plate and contacts the paper substrate at the upper flat part Therefore, it is possible to improve the dimensional accuracy and reduce the friction caused by the movement of the paper base material in the width direction, thereby eliminating the end face damage of the paper base material.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, two or more pilots, which are prismatic in shape and come into contact with the paper base material when lowered, are arranged in the feed direction, so that the end face is less damaged and the dimensional accuracy is reduced with low friction. Can be improved.

  According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, a large number of press carrier tapes can be manufactured in large quantities at low cost, and the dimensional accuracy of the product and the shape of the recesses can be maintained.
