It engages with the next feed hole 25b, and thereby the position of the tape body 25a is fixed.

  Next, an operation of returning the moving member 39 by a predetermined amount corresponding to one pitch is performed. As a result, as shown in FIG. 6D, the first feed member 50 and the second feed member 51 move in the return direction (arrows l and m), respectively. At this time, the position of the tape body 25a is fixed by the first fixing member 52 and the second fixing member 53. Therefore, when the first feeding member 50 and the second feeding member 51 move in the return direction, the first feeding member 50 and the second feeding member 51 move in the first feeding direction. The claw 54 and the second feed claw 58 are separated from the feed hole 25b against the biasing force of the first spring member 55 and the second spring member 59, and the movement of the first feed member 50 and the second feed member 51 is not hindered. . When the moving member 39 moves in the return direction by a predetermined amount corresponding to one pitch, the first feed claw 54 and the second feed claw 58 engage with the feed hole 25b, and the state shown in FIG.

The guide member 30b is provided with a vertical shaft support 43. The shaft support 43 is a component detector for detecting the presence / absence of the radial lead type electronic component 26 in the tape transport path 30 (here, the presence / absence of the lead 26a). 42 is pivotally supported around a pivotal support 43.

  The component detection body 42 is an elongated plate member having a predetermined length L, and is provided so as to extend downstream from the shaft support portion 43 in the tape feeding direction. In the vicinity of the downstream side of the shaft support portion 43, an oblique side portion 42a that crosses the upper portion of the gap portion 30c in an oblique direction is formed. Here, the predetermined length L has a length that is at least a multiple of the component pitch PP (see FIG. 8A) of the radial lead type electronic component 26 in the electronic component holding tape 25 (twice in this example).

Then, the electronic component holding tape 25 is delivered to the tape transport path 30 from the upstream side, the lead 26a held by the electronic component holding tape 25 contacts the oblique side portion 42a, and the oblique side portion 42a is pushed downstream. Thus, the component detection body 42 rotates in the direction of the arrow o against the biasing force of the torsion spring member. When the lead 26a is present at a position corresponding to the length range of the component detector 42 in the gap 30c, the component detector 42 is partially pushed out of the tape transport path 30.

  That is, the component detector 42 is provided so as to overlap the tape transport path 30 along the tape transport path 30. The component detector 42 is located at a position corresponding to the component detector 42 in the tape conveyance path 30 and the first position [P1] that is located on the tape conveyance path 30 and the radial lead type electronic component 26.

It becomes. On the other hand, when the component detector 42 is located at the second position [P2], the dog 44a is displaced in the direction of the arrow p around the shaft support 43 as shown in FIGS. The optical axis 45a is shielded from light. As a result, the photosensor 45 outputs a light shielding ON signal. Based on the presence / absence of the light-blocking ON signal output from the photosensor 45, the part-out detection by the part-out detection unit 41 is performed.

  A specific example of detection of component failure by the component failure detection unit 41 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8A shows a state in which the radial lead type electronic component 26 held on the electronic component holding tape 25 is continuously supplied in the tape transport path 30. In this state, since the radial lead type electronic component 26 is present at a position corresponding to the component detector 42 in the tape transport path 30, the component detector 42 is pushed to the second position [ P2]. In this state, as shown in FIGS. 7D and 7B, the photosensor 45 outputs a light-blocking ON signal, thereby detecting the presence of parts in the tape transport path 30.

  FIG. 8B shows a radial position at the rear end in the process of continuously supplying a plurality of radial lead type electronic components 26 by feeding the electronic component holding tape 25 along the tape transport path 30. A state in which the lead-type electronic component 26 has passed through a range corresponding to a predetermined length L of the component detector 42 is shown. In this state, the lead 26a does not exist in the portion of the tape body 25a upstream of the radial lead type electronic component 26 at the rear end. For this reason, the component detector 42 moves to the first position [P1], which is a position overlapping the gap 30c of the tape transport path 30, by the urging force in the direction of arrow n shown in FIG.

  In this state, as shown in FIGS. 7 (d) and (1), the photosensor 45 is in a light shielding OFF state, whereby a plurality of radials continuously held by the electronic component holding tape 25 in the tape transport path 30 are obtained. The passage of the rear end portion of the lead type electronic component 26 is detected. In other words, the component breakage detection unit 41 detects the component breakage in the electronic component holding tape 25 by detecting that the component detector 42 has returned from the second position [P2] to the first position [P1].

  In the component cut-off detection unit 41 having the above-described configuration, the predetermined length L of the component detector 42 is set to at least a multiple of the component pitch PP of the radial lead type electronic component 26 in the electronic component holding tape 25. Have the following significance. In other words, among the electronic component holding tapes 25 supplied from the component supplier, there are those in which the radial lead type electronic components 26 that are continuously held are partially lost and become a so-called “tooth missing” state. There is a case.

  In the case where such an electronic component holding tape 25 is targeted, if the length of the component detector 42 is shorter than the predetermined length L and less than a plurality of times the component pitch PP, one radial lead type electronic component Each time the part 26 is missing passes through the part-cut detection unit 41, the part detector 42 may move to the first position [P1] and be in the state shown in FIG. 8B. As a result, although the radial lead type electronic component 26 is not cut out as a whole as the electronic component holding tape 25, the radial lead type electronic component 26 is partially missing, so that the electronic component holding tape 25 There is a possibility of erroneous detection of component breakage at 25.

  As described above, even when the partial radial lead type electronic component 26 is missing in the electronic component holding tape 25, the predetermined length L of the component detector 42 is set to the radial lead type electronic component in the electronic component holding tape 25. By setting the length to at least a multiple of the component pitch PP of 26, the radial lead electronic component 26 adjacent to the missing radial lead electronic component 26 is always present within the length range of the component detector 42. . Then, by detecting the radial lead type electronic component 26 existing within these length ranges, the presence of the component in the electronic component holding tape 25 is detected, and the aforementioned erroneous detection is prevented.

  That is, the component breakage detection unit 41 in the present embodiment is configured to include a component detector 42 provided so as to overlap the tape conveyance path 30 along the tape conveyance path 30. The component detector 42 has a length that is at least a multiple of the component pitch PP of the radial lead type electronic component 26 in the electronic component holding tape 25, and corresponds to a predetermined length L of the component detector 42 in the electronic component holding tape 25. By detecting the presence / absence of the radial lead type electronic component 26 in the range to be detected, component breakage is detected.

  As described above, the partial component lead detection type 41 that detects component breakage in the electronic component holding tape 25 conveyed by the tape conveyance path 30 in the radial component feeder 6 is configured as described above, thereby providing a partial radial lead type. It is possible to correctly detect a component breakage in the supply of the radial lead-type electronic component by eliminating a malfunction that is mistakenly detected as a component breakage, such as a missing electronic component 26, which is not a component breakage.

  Next, the configuration of the lead cut mechanism 33 that cuts the lead 26a of the radial lead type electronic component 26 at the supply position 36 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9A shows a cross section of the lead cut mechanism 33 in the vicinity of the supply position 36. In FIG. 9A, a fixed frame member 71 is erected on the upper surface of the base portion of the feeder main body 6a, and a hinge portion 71b extending from the fixed frame member 71 to the center side includes A movable cut member 70 is pivotally supported via a pivotal support 72.

  A tape transport path 30 extends from the upstream side between the movable cut member 70 and the fixed frame member 71 above the shaft support 72. Between the guide members 30a and 30b of the tape transport path 30, a tape body 25a taped with the lead 26a of the radial lead type electronic component 26 is held in a vertical posture. The top part 70a of the movable cut member 70 and the top part 71a of the fixed frame member 71 are both cutting member holding parts. The top part 70a and the top part 71a are respectively provided with a movable blade 76 and a fixed blade 77, respectively. 73, mounted via the second pedestal 74. The movable blade 76 and the fixed blade 77 sandwich the lead 26a of the radial lead type electronic component 26 held by the mounting head 10B with the blade surface of each.

  In the movable cut member 70, a roller member 75 is pivotally supported by a lower portion 70b below the pivot support 72 via a pivot support 75a. As will be described below, the roller member 75 is driven in the horizontal outer direction (arrow t) by the lead cut cylinder 34 via the drive transmission mechanism 35. As a result, the top portion 70a rotates around the shaft support portion 72, and the movable blade 76 mounted on the top portion 70a moves in the direction (arrow u) in which the lead 26a is sandwiched between the fixed blade 77 and the lead blade 26a is sandwiched.

  With reference to FIGS. 9B and 9C, the configuration and function of the drive transmission mechanism 35 will be described. As shown in FIG. 9B, a substantially wedge-shaped moving cam member 35 a having a tapered surface 35 b is coupled to the rod 34 a of the lead cut cylinder 34. A cam follower 35c attached to one end of an arm member 35d extending to the lead cut mechanism 33 in the feeder main body 6a is in contact with the tapered surface 35b. The arm member 35 d is pivotally supported at a position adjacent to the lead cut mechanism 33 by a pivotal support 35 e so as to be freely rotatable in a horizontal plane. A cam follower 35f is mounted on the other end of the arm member 35d at a position where it abuts on the roller member 75 (see also FIG. 9A).

  As shown in FIG. 9C, when the lead cut cylinder 34 is driven in the direction in which the rod 34a projects (arrow q), the movable cam member 35a moves together. As the cam follower 35c moves following the tapered surface 35b, the arm member 35d rotates in the horizontal plane around the shaft support 35e according to the lateral displacement of the tapered surface 35b (arrow r). By the rotation of the arm member 35d, the cam follower 35f attached to the other end moves in the horizontal outer direction (arrow s). As a result, as shown in FIG. 9A, the roller member 75 in contact with the cam follower 35f moves in the horizontal outer direction (arrow t), and the above-described lead 26a is clipped.

  In the above configuration, the movable blade 76 and the fixed blade 77 are a first cutting member and a second cutting member which are a pair of cutting members for cutting the lead 26a in order to separate the radial lead type electronic component 26 and the electronic component holding tape 25 from each other. This is a cutting member. And the lead cut cylinder 34 and the drive transmission mechanism 35 move the 1st cutting member, the movable blade 76 which is a 2nd cutting member, and the fixed blade 77 relatively, and the blade surface which a 1st cutting member has And the blade surface of the second cutting member is a drive mechanism for cutting the lead 26a. In the description of the present embodiment, the movable blade 76 is described as the first cutting member, and the fixed blade 77 is described as the second cutting member. However, the first cutting member and the second cutting member are clearly classified. The movable blade 76 may be the second cutting member, and the fixed blade 77 may be the first cutting member.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 10, the structure and fixing method of the movable blade 76 and the fixed blade 77 will be described. In FIG. 10, a first pedestal portion 73 and a second pedestal portion 74 are fixed to the top portion 70a and the top portion 71a, respectively. The first pedestal portion 73 and the second pedestal portion 74 are provided with fitting portions 73a and 74a (FIG. 11B) for fixing the movable blade 76 and the fixed blade 77, respectively. Female screw holes 73b and 74b are provided on the bottom surfaces of the portions 73a and 74a, respectively. A fixed screw member 79 that is a fixing member for fixing the movable blade 76, the fixed blade 77, the first pedestal portion 73, and the second pedestal portion 74 is screwed into the female screw holes 73b and 74b.

  The movable blade 76 and the fixed blade 77 are so-called double-edged members having first blade surfaces 76a and 77a and second blade surfaces 76b and 77b, respectively, on two parallel sides facing each other. In the present embodiment, either the first blade surface 76a or the second blade surface 76b of the movable blade 76 is used as the blade surface (the first blade surface 77a or the second blade surface 77b) of the fixed blade 77. ) Can be arranged to face either of them. Here, the first blade surface 76a and the second blade surface 76b of the movable blade 76, and the first blade surface 77a and the second blade surface 77b of the fixed blade 77 have opposite taper surfaces. (See FIG. 11A). Thereby, it is possible to sandwich the lead 26a by bringing these blade surfaces close to each other.

  The movable blade 76 and the fixed blade 77 are formed with screw fastening holes 76c and 77c, which are fixed holes with which a fixed screw member 79 as a fixed member is engaged. When the movable blade 76 and the fixed blade 77 are fixed to the first pedestal portion 73 and the second pedestal portion 74, the movable blade 76 and the fixed blade 77 are fitted into the fitting portions 73a and 74a, respectively, and then screwed. The fixing screw member 79 is engaged with the holes 76c and 77c and screwed into the female screw holes 73b and 74b. Thereby, the movable blade 76 and the fixed blade 77 are held at positions where the lead 26a held by the tape main body 25a held between the guide members 30a and 30b of the tape transport path 30 is held. In this state, one of the first blade surface 76 a and the second blade surface 76 b of the movable blade 76 faces either the first blade surface 77 a or the second blade surface 77 b of the fixed blade 77.

  In the second pedestal 74, the blade surface (the second blade surface 77b in FIG. 10) located on the outer side opposite to the blade surface (the first blade surface 77a in FIG. 10) for cutting the lead 26a. A cover member 78 that covers this blade surface from the side is attached to the periphery. That is, the lead-cut mechanism 33 of the radial component feeder 6 shown in the present embodiment is a fixed-side cutting that is fixed in position among the movable blade 76 that is the first cutting member and the fixed blade 77 that is the second cutting member. The fixed blade 77, which is a member, includes a cover member 78 that covers at least the blade surface located outside the blade surface that cuts the lead 26a from the side. Thereby, when an operator accesses the lead cut mechanism 33 and performs work, it is possible to prevent an accident caused by bringing a body part such as a finger into contact with the blade surface located outside.

  An alignment mark 80 is formed on the upper surface of the fixed blade 77 by fine groove processing. The alignment mark 80 is composed of a plurality of graduation lines formed at equal intervals and having different lengths, and is used as an alignment index when the radial lead type electronic component 26 is held and taken out by the mounting head 10B. The alignment mark 80 is formed on either the first blade surface 77a side or the second blade surface 77b side, and the same index can be used when any blade surface is used. Yes.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 11, the detailed shape of the movable blade 76 and the fixed blade 77 and the positioning to the first pedestal portion 73 and the second pedestal portion 74 will be described.

Similarly, as shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, the screw fastening hole 76c provided in the movable blade 76 is an intermediate position between the first blade surface 76a and the second blade surface 76b of the movable blade 76. Is provided on the center line CL2. In addition, the planar shape of the fixed blade 77 is a shape obtained by cutting a pair of opposing corner portions, so that it can be easily distinguished from the movable blade 76.

  As shown in the side view of the movable blade 76 and the fixed blade 77, each of these cutting members has rectangular parallelepiped block-shaped base portions 76d and 77d provided extending downward from the upper surface on which the blade surface is formed. Yes. In the base portions 76d and 77d, the first contact surface 76e, the second contact surface 76f, the first contact surface 77e, and the second contact surface 77f are provided on both side surfaces parallel to the respective blade surfaces.

Reference surfaces 73c and 74c are provided as alignment references. When the movable blade 76 and the fixed blade 77 are fixed to the first pedestal portion 73 and the second pedestal portion 74, respectively, the first abutment surface 76e (or the second abutment surface 76f), By bringing the contact surface 77e (or the second contact surface 77f) into contact with the reference surfaces 73c and 74c, alignment in the cutting direction by the respective blade surfaces is performed. Note that one of the inner side surfaces 73d and 73e in the fitting portion 73a and the inner side surfaces 74d and 74e in the fitting portion 74a can be used as an alignment reference surface in a direction orthogonal to the cutting direction.

  In the above configuration, the first contact surface 76e and the second contact surface 76f of the movable blade 76 pass through the screw fastening hole 76c, which is a fixed hole, into the first blade surface 76a and the second blade surface 76b. They are arranged symmetrically with respect to the parallel center line CL2. Similarly, the first contact surface 77e and the second contact surface 77f of the fixed blade 77 pass through the screw fastening hole 77c, which is a fixed hole, and are parallel to the first blade surface 77a and the second blade surface 77b. Are arranged symmetrically with respect to the center line CL1.

With such a configuration, it is possible to easily switch the used blade surface when the movable blade 76 and the fixed blade 77 are both cutting members. That is, as shown in FIG. 11A, the movable blade 76 that is the first cutting member passes through the center line CL2, that is, the screw fastening hole 76c that is the fixed hole, and the first blade surface 76a and the second blade surface 76a. By reversing the movable blade 76 by 180 degrees with respect to a straight line parallel to the blade surface 76b (arrow w ), either the first blade surface 76a or the second blade surface 76b is changed to the second cutting member. The fixed blade 77 can be disposed to face the blade surface.

Similarly, the fixed blade 77 that is the second cutting member has a straight line parallel to the first blade surface 77a and the second blade surface 77b through the center line CL1, that is, the screw fastening hole 77c that is the fixed hole. On the other hand, the fixed blade 77 is inverted 180 degrees (arrow v 1) so that either the first blade surface 77a or the second blade surface 77b has the blade surface of the movable blade 76 as the first cutting member. It is possible to arrange them facing each other.

  In the switching of the used blade surface, when the movable blade 76 and the fixed blade 77 are fixed to the first pedestal portion 73 and the second pedestal portion 74 as described above, the first contact surface 76e (or The movable blade 76 and the fixed blade 77 can be simply operated by bringing the second contact surface 76f) and the first contact surface 77e (or the second contact surface 77f) into contact with the reference surfaces 73c and 74c.
