  In FIG. 7, the control device 60 included in the component mounting apparatus 1 includes a transport conveyor 21 (the carry-in conveyor 21A, the work conveyor 21B, and the carry-out conveyor 21C) to transport the carrier 4, the component feeder 13 supplies the component P, and the mounting head 31. Controls are performed for raising and lowering and rotating each suction nozzle 31a, suction by each suction nozzle 31a, movement of the mounting head 31 by the head moving mechanism 32, and imaging by the component camera 14. Further, the control device 60 controls the raising / lowering of the raising / lowering base 43 by the raising / lowering cylinder 42, the rotation of the two chuck portions 45 by the rotation motor 46, and the respective chucking operations of the respective chuck portions 45 by the chuck control mechanism 48.

  Next, a procedure for performing a component mounting operation for mounting the components P on each of the works 2 by adjusting the postures of the plurality of works 2 by the component mounting apparatus 1 will be described. In the component mounting work, first, the carrier 4 on which two work holders 3 holding a plurality of (here, three) works 2 are placed is supplied to the carry-in conveyor 21A of the transport unit 12 (see FIG. )). In this state, the carrier 4 is not located above the posture adjusting mechanism 15 (FIG. 8B).

  When the carrier 4 is supplied to the carry-in conveyor 21A, the control device 60 operates the carry-in conveyor 21A to transfer the carrier 4 to the work conveyor 21B. Then, the work conveyor 21B is operated to position the carrier 4 at a predetermined work position (FIG. 9 (a)). When the carrier 4 is located at the work position, the two work holders 3 placed on the carrier 4 are located above the two chuck portions 45 (FIG. 9B).

  When the carrier 4 is located at the working position and the two work holders 3 placed on the carrier 4 are located above the two chuck portions 45, the controller 60 causes the lifting cylinder 42 to move the lifting base 43. The upper surface of each of the plurality of holding body support portions 45c of each chuck portion 45 is brought into contact with the work holding body 3 located above it from below. When the upper surfaces of the plurality of holder support parts 45c come into contact with and support the work holders 3, the control device 60 controls the chuck control mechanism 48 to suck the workpiece holders 45c. A vacuum suction force is generated in the opening 45h, and the work holder 3 is chucked by the chuck portion 45 (FIGS. 10A and 10B).

  When the two chuck portions 45 chuck the two work holders 3, the control device 60 raises the lift base 43 by the lift cylinder 42, lifts the two work holders 3 by the two chuck portions 45, and lifts the two work holders 3. The holding body 3 is separated from the carrier 4 (FIGS. 11A and 11B). When the two work holding bodies 3 are separated from the carrier 4, the control device 60 operates the work conveyor 21B to slightly move the carrier 4 in the X-axis direction (FIGS. 12A and 12B). At this time, the direction in which the carrier 4 is moved by the work conveyor 21B is the direction in which each work holder 3 can pass downward through the opening 4K of the carrier 4 (FIG. 4 (a) → FIG. 4 (b)). Direction).

  When the carrier 4 is moved in the X-axis direction by the work conveyor 21B, the control device 60 lowers the elevating base 43 by the elevating cylinder 42, and the two work holders 3 chucked by the two chuck portions 45 cause the opening 4K of the carrier 4. To pass downwards. Then, all the plurality of works 2 held by the two work holding bodies 3 are positioned below the carrier 4 (FIGS. 13A and 13B). As a result, the two work holders 3 are separated from the carrier 4.

  In the above-described operation of separating the work holder 3 and the carrier 4, the elevating mechanism LS performs an operation of raising and lowering the chuck part 45 that chucks the work holder 3 with respect to the carrier 4 (more specifically, the work conveyor 21B). The work holder 3 is separated from the carrier 4 by performing the operation in conjunction with the operation of moving the carrier 4 in the carrying direction (X-axis direction).

  As described above, in the component mounting apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the carrier 4 is configured in a frame shape having the opening 4K inside, and the work holder 3 is mounted on the carrier 4 at a position where it does not drop from the opening 4K of the carrier 4. After being transported to a predetermined work position by the transport conveyor 21 in the state of being placed, the chuck mechanism 45 is moved up and down by the lifting mechanism LS and the carrier 4 is moved in the transport direction (X-axis direction) by the interlocking operation. It is separated from the carrier 4 by being passed through the opening 4K downward.

  When the two work holders 3 are separated from the carrier 4, the control device 60 operates the work conveyor 21B to transfer the carrier 4 to the carry-out conveyor 21C. After the carrier 4 is delivered to the carry-out conveyor 21C, the carrier 4 is kept on standby on the carry-out conveyor 21C (FIGS. 14A and 14B). Although the carrier 4 separated from the work holder 3 is transferred from the work conveyor 21B to the carry-out conveyor 21C here, the carrier 4 may be transferred from the work conveyor 21B to the carry-in conveyor 21A.

  When the carrier 4 is delivered to the carry-out conveyor 21C, the control device 60 causes the elevating cylinder 42 to elevate the elevating base 43 (FIGS. 15A and 15B). Then, the rotation motor 46 is operated to rotationally drive the drive pulley 51 by the drive shaft 46S, and the two chuck portions 45 are simultaneously rotated in the same direction and at the same angle through the belt transmission mechanism 47 around the axis of the rotation shaft 45J. By moving, the postures of the plurality of works 2 held by the two work holding bodies 3 are collectively adjusted (FIGS. 16A and 16B). Here, the chuck portion 45 is rotated so that the surface of the component mounting portion 2R faces upward (becomes a horizontal posture). It should be noted that each work 2 is attached to the work holder 3 so that the surface of the component mounting portion 2R faces upward by the pivotal movement of the chuck portion 45 in this manner.

  As described above, in the component mounting apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the rotational power output from one motor (rotating motor 46) is transmitted by the transmission belt 54 to rotate the plurality of chuck portions 45 at the same angle in the same direction. It is designed to move. The rotation mechanism RS including the rotation motor 46 rotates the chuck portion 45 that chucks the work holder 3 around an axis (X axis) extending in the direction in which the plurality of works 2 held by the work holder 3 are arranged. The postures of the plurality of works 2 held by the work holder 3 separated from the carrier 4 by rotating are collectively adjusted.

  As described above, in the component mounting apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, (1) the work holders 3 that hold a plurality of works 2 arranged in a line in the X-axis direction are placed on the carrier 4, and the carrier conveyer 21 sets a predetermined position ( (2) The work holder 3 on the carrier 4 is chucked by the chuck portion 45, and (3) the chuck portion 45 is moved up and down with respect to the carrier 4 by the raising / lowering mechanism LS. The work holder 3 is separated from the carrier 4 by moving the carrier 4 in the transport direction (X-axis direction) by 21. Then, (4) the chuck portion 45 that chucks the work holder 3 is rotated about the axis (X axis) extending in the arrangement direction of the plurality of works 2 by the rotating mechanism RS, whereby the postures of the plurality of works 2 are changed. Are adjusted in a batch.

  When the postures of the plurality of works 2 are collectively adjusted, the control device 60 raises and lowers the raising / lowering base 43 by the raising / lowering cylinder 42, and the component P is attached to the component mounting portion 2R of each of the plurality of works 2 by the suction nozzle 31a. The height should match the mounting height (FIGS. 17 (a) and 17 (b)). As described above, in the present embodiment, the plurality of works 2 whose postures have been adjusted by the raising / lowering operation of the raising / lowering base 43 (that is, the raising / lowering of the chuck portion 45) by the raising / lowering mechanism LS are collectively set to a predetermined height (mounting height). ) Can be located.

  In the attitude adjusting mechanism 15 included in the component mounting apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the position of the work 2 that can be adjusted in posture is limited, but the attitude adjusting mechanism 15 does not change the position of the component mounting site 2R to which the component P is mounted. Since it suffices that the surface be oriented in a desired direction (for example, upward), the posture adjusting mechanism 15 has a simple structure in the case where there is one component mounting site 2R per workpiece 2. This is advantageous in terms of manufacturing cost.

  After collectively adjusting the postures of the plurality of works 2 held by the work holder 3, the controller 60 operates the parts feeder 13 to supply the parts P to the parts supply port 13K, and at the same time, mounts them by the head moving mechanism 32. The head 31 is moved above the parts feeder 13. Then, the component P is sucked onto each of the plurality of suction nozzles 31a included in the mounting head 31.

  After the component P is sucked onto each of the plurality of suction nozzles 31a, the control device 60 moves the mounting head 31 by the head moving mechanism 32 so that the plurality of components P sucked onto the suction nozzles 31a move above the component camera 14. Make sure to pass in sequence. When the component camera 14 recognizes each component P passing above, the control device 60 moves the mounting head 31 to above the work conveyor 21B by the head moving mechanism 32, and adjusts the posture of the work 2 by the posture adjusting mechanism 15. The component P is positioned above the component mounting portion 2R (FIGS. 18A and 18B).

  When the component P is located above the component mounting portion 2R, the control device 60 lowers the suction nozzle 31a to mount the component P on the component mounting portion 2R. In this embodiment, since the postures of the plurality of works 2 held by the work holder 3 are collectively adjusted, the intervals between the plurality of works 2 held in the work holder 3 are the intervals between the plurality of suction nozzles 31a. It is also possible to mount the parts P collectively (or sequentially) on the plurality of works 2 held by the work holder 3 by setting the positions P so as to match.

  The controller 60 causes the mounting head 31 to reciprocate between the position above the work conveyor 21B and the parts feeder 13 to mount the parts P on all the workpieces 2 whose postures have been adjusted by the posture adjusting mechanism 15. After mounting the parts P on all the works 2, the control device 60 operates the posture adjusting mechanism 15 and the conveyor 21 in the reverse order of the above-described procedure to position the two work holders 3 at the working positions. Place on carrier 4. After placing the two work holders 3 on the carrier 4, the control device 60 operates the work conveyor 21B to transfer the carrier 4 to the carry-out conveyor 21C, and then operates the carry-out conveyor 21C to mount the carrier 4 on the component mounting apparatus. 1 to the outside. As a result, the component mounting work for the plurality of works 2 corresponding to one carrier 4 (two work holders 3) is completed.

  As described above, in the component mounting apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, a plurality of works 2 are held side by side by the work holders 3, and the work holders 3 holding the plurality of works 2 are mounted on the carrier 4. After being placed and transported to the work position by the transport conveyor 21, the work holder 3 is chucked by the chuck portion 45, and the operation of raising and lowering the chuck portion 45 by the elevating mechanism LS and the operation of transporting the carrier 4 by the transport conveyor 21. The work holder 3 is separated from the carrier 4 by interlocking with each other. Then, the chuck portion 45 that chucks the work holder 3 separated from the carrier 4 is rotated by the rotating mechanism RS so that the postures of the plurality of works 2 are simultaneously adjusted. Therefore, a plurality of works 2 can be collectively handled when the posture of the works 2 is adjusted, and productivity can be improved.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described so far, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the chuck portion 45 is configured to be rotated only around one axis line (the axis line extending in the direction in which the plurality of works 2 held by the work holding body 3 are arranged, the X axis). However, the configuration may be such that it is also rotated around an axis (Y axis) orthogonal to this axis in the horizontal plane.

  Further, the shapes of the carrier 4 and the work holding body 3 and the procedure for separating the work holding body 3 from the carrier 4 are not limited to those shown in the above-described embodiment, and the chuck portion 45 that chucks the work holding body 3 is used. It suffices that the work holder 3 be separated from the carrier 4 by performing the operation of moving the carrier 4 up and down with respect to the carrier 4 in conjunction with the operation of moving the carrier 4 in the carrying direction by the conveyor 21.

  To provide a component mounting apparatus capable of collectively handling a plurality of works when adjusting the postures of the works and improving productivity.
