In FIG. 3, the tape feeder 16 is provided with a tape guide 32, a peeling member 33, and a discharge guide 34 on a main body 31 that is detachably attached to the feeder base 15. A tape passage 35, which is a passage for the carrier tape 17, is formed in the main body portion 31 from the tape inlet 35a at the rear end toward the front, and three sprocket wheels are provided in the main body portion 31 along the tape passage 35. A feed sprocket 41, a sub sprocket 42, a main sprocket 43) and a plurality of (here, three) sensors 44 are provided. In addition, a control board 45 that is electrically connected to the control device 20 when the carriage 14 is connected to the base 11 is provided in the main body 31.

In FIG. 3, the feed sprocket 41 is provided on the lower rear part of the main body 31. The feed sprocket 41 is rotationally driven by a first motor mechanism portion 46 provided inside the body portion 31. The feed sprocket 41 is located above the tape passage 35, and the outer peripheral teeth are engaged with the feed holes 25 of the carrier tape 17 passing through the tape passage 35 to rotate, thereby feeding the carrier tape 17 forward.

3 and 4, the sub sprocket 42 and the main sprocket 43 are provided side by side in the front-rear direction on the upper front portion of the main body 31. The main sprocket 43 is located on the front end side of the main body 31, and the sub sprocket 42 is located behind the main sprocket 43. The sub sprocket 42 has the same diameter (the diameter of the root circle is the same) as the main sprocket 43, and the outer peripheral teeth have the same fraction, and the rotation axis 42J of the sub sprocket 42 is slightly lower than the rotation axis 43J of the main sprocket 43. Located in position.

In FIG. 4, the sub sprocket 42 and the main sprocket 43 are both positioned below the tape passage 35 exposed on the upper surface of the front portion of the main body 31. The sub sprocket 42 feeds the carrier tape 17 forward by engaging the feed holes 25 of the carrier tape 17 with the outer peripheral teeth 42T and rotating. The main sprocket 43 feeds the carrier tape 17 forward by engaging the outer peripheral teeth 43T with the feed holes 25 in front of the sub sprocket 42 of the carrier tape 17 and rotating.

In FIG. 3, a plurality of sensors 44 are provided at positions facing the tape passage 35 in the main body 31, respectively, and detect the leading portion and the trailing portion of the carrier tape 17 passing through the positions and control the detection information. It is transmitted to the board 45. The control board 45 recognizes the positions of the head portion and the tail portion of the carrier tape 17 traveling in the tape passage 35 based on the detection information sent from the plurality of sensors 44.

The sub sprocket 42 and the main sprocket 43 are driven by a second motor mechanism section 47 provided in the main body section 31 and intermittently rotate synchronously to feed the carrier tape 17 with a pitch. As a result, the component storage portions 23 provided on the carrier tape 17 are successively fed to the component supply port 16K.

In FIGS. 3, 4 and 5A and 5B, the tape guide 32 is provided on the upper front part of the main body portion 31, and between the main sprocket 43 and the sub sprocket 42 and between the main sprocket 43 and the sub sprocket 42. Covers the tape passage 35 exposed above. The tape guide 32 has a ceiling portion 51 extending in the front-rear direction and located above the tape passage 35, and a pair of side surface portions 52 extending downward from both side portions of the ceiling portion 51. The tape guide 32 is attached such that the pair of side surface portions 52 sandwich the upper portion of the main body portion 31 from the side. The ceiling portion 51 of the tape guide 32 is provided with a groove portion 53 extending in the front-rear direction so as to avoid interference with the outer peripheral teeth 43T of the main sprocket 43. The aforementioned component supply port 16K is provided in front of the groove 53.

In FIGS. 4 and 5A and 5B, the peeling member 33 is provided on the lower surface side of the ceiling portion 51 of the tape guide 32, and extends obliquely along the tape passage 35 immediately below it. The peeling member 33 is a member that peels the cover tape 22 from the base tape 21 of the carrier tape 17 sent from the sub sprocket 42 toward the main sprocket 43. A sharpened portion 33H is formed at the lower end (rear end) of the peeling member 33. The sharpened portion 33H is located on the traveling path of the cover tape 22 of the carrier tape 17 traveling in the tape passage 35.

4 and 6, a pin member 32P is provided at the front end of the tape guide 32. The pin member 32P is allowed to move in the vertical direction within the elongated pin moving hole 61 provided at the front end portion 31F of the main body portion 31, and is pulled downward by the tension spring 62 (the lower surface of the ceiling portion 51 is a tape passage). 35 is urged in the direction of contact with 35). The rear end of the tape guide 32 has the same structure and is urged downward by a tension spring (not shown).

Since the front end and the rear end of the tape guide 32 are urged downward as described above, the tape guide 32 approaches the tape passage 35 with a movement amount corresponding to the thickness of the carrier tape 17 passing directly under the tape passage 35. Alternatively, it can be moved in the separating direction (vertical direction). The carrier tape 17 enters from the rear end side of the tape guide 32, pushes the tape guide 32 upward, and travels forward. At this time, the tape guide 32 makes the carrier tape 17 adhere to the tape passage 35 regardless of its thickness, so that the carrier tape 17 travels in the tape passage 35 in a stable state. When the carrier tape 17 is running, the pair of side surface portions 52 of the tape guide 32 play a role of restricting the movement of the carrier tape 17 in the width direction.

3, 4, and 6, the discharge guide 34 is provided at the front end portion 31F of the main body portion 31. The tape passage 35 formed in the front end portion 31F of the main body 31 is a tape discharge path 35b that is bent downward, and the discharge guide 34 is provided to cover the tape discharge path 35b.

In FIG. 6, the ejection guide 34 has a curved surface portion 71 whose inner surface 71M has a bent shape similar to that of the tape ejection passage 35b, and a pair of flat plate portions 72 extending from both ends of the curved surface portion 71. .. The discharge guide 34 is attached so that the pair of flat plate portions 72 sandwich the front end portion 31F of the main body portion 31 from the side.

Two guide pins 73 are laid across the pair of flat plate portions 72 of the discharge guide 34. The two guide pins 73 penetrate through an elongated hole 74 provided in the front end 31F of the main body 31, and these guide pins 73 are lengthened by an urging spring 75 provided in the front end 31F of the main body 31. The inside of the hole 74 is urged downward and rearward (the direction in which the inner surface 71M abuts the tape discharge path 35b).

Since the two guide pins 73 are urged rearward and downward in the ejection guide 34, the ejection guide 34 approaches the tape ejection path 35b with a movement amount corresponding to the thickness of the carrier tape 17 passing through the tape ejection path 35b. Alternatively, it can move in the separating direction (vertical direction and front-back direction). The carrier tape 17 enters from the rear end side of the discharge guide 34 and travels forward and downward while pushing the discharge guide 34 away. At this time, the ejection guide 34 makes the carrier tape 17 adhere to the tape ejection path 35b regardless of its thickness, so that the carrier tape 17 travels on the tape ejection path 35b in a stable state. When the carrier tape 17 is running, the pair of flat plate portions 72 of the discharge guide 34 play a role of restricting the movement of the carrier tape 17 in the width direction.

In FIG. 6, a protrusion 34T that protrudes rearward is provided at the rear end of the discharge guide 34. Further, at the front end portion of the tape guide 32, there is provided a restriction portion 32T that extends forward above the protruding portion 34T of the ejection guide 34.

Next, the operation of the tape feeder 16 will be described. When the tip of the carrier tape 17 is inserted from the tape inlet 35a of the tape feeder 16, the feed sprocket 41 is controlled by the control board 45 to operate. The feed sprocket 41 causes the carrier tape 17 to run by engaging the outer peripheral teeth with the feed holes 25 of the carrier tape 17 and rotating.

The carrier tape 17 traveling in the tape passage 35 is exposed on the upper surface of the main body 31 from a position slightly behind the sub sprocket 42. When the control board 45 detects that the position of the leading portion of the carrier tape 17 has reached before the sub sprocket 42, it rotates the sub sprocket 42 and the main sprocket 43 in synchronization.

The carrier tape 17 travels in the tape passage 35 exposed on the upper surface and enters below the ceiling portion 51 from the rear end side of the tape guide 32. The sub sprocket 42 engages the outer peripheral teeth 42T and the main sprocket 43 engages the outer peripheral teeth 43T with the feed holes 25 of the carrier tape 17 to rotate, so that the carrier tape 17 is moved to the component supply port 16K side below the tape guide 32. send. At this time, the carrier tape 17 moves forward while pushing the tape guide 32 upward.

Here, when the carrier tape 17 is sent from the sub sprocket 42 to the main sprocket 43, the cover tape 22 is peeled from the base tape 21 by the peeling member 33. Specifically, the sharpened portion 33H of the peeling member 33 enters between the base tape 21 and the cover tape 22, and the cover tape 22 is peeled off from the adhesive 24 on the end side of the carrier tape 17 (FIG. 7A→FIG. 7(b)→FIG. 8(a), the carrier tape 17 is flipped over to the feed hole 25 side (FIG. 9(a)→FIG. 9(b)). Then, the cover tape 22 that is turned over is held downward by the ceiling portion 51 of the tape guide 32 (FIG. 9B and FIG. 8B which is a cross-sectional view taken along line V1-V1 of FIG. 8A). ..

The cover tape 22 is peeled off before the carrier tape 17 passes through the component supply port 16K, and the component storage portion 23 is opened upward (FIG. 9B), so that the component storage portion 23 supplies the component. When reaching the mouth 16K, the pickup of the component 3 by the suction nozzle 13a becomes possible. The cover tape 22 peeled and turned by the peeling member 33 runs along with the base tape 21 and passes through the tape guide 32.

The carrier tape 17, which has moved forward while pushing the tape guide 32 upward, enters the tape discharge path 35 b from the rear end of the discharge guide 34. When the tape guide 32 is pushed upward by the carrier tape 17 (arrow Y1 shown in FIG. 10A), the pin member 32P lifts the protrusion 34T of the discharge guide 34 upward (FIG. 10A). Y2). Therefore, the discharge guide 34 moves upward so that the rear end of the inner surface 71M is separated from the tape discharge path 35b (FIG. 10A. Arrow Y3 shown in the figure), and the discharge guide 34 has a rear end. Since the inlet 34K of the carrier tape 17 to the tape discharge path 35b is formed, the carrier tape 17 can smoothly enter the tape discharge path 35b.

When the carrier tape 17 enters the tape discharge path 35b, the rear end portion of the discharge guide 34 is further pushed up (arrow Y4 shown in FIG. 10B). Therefore, the height of the entrance 34K of the carrier tape 17 to the tape discharge path 35b at the rear end of the discharge guide 34 becomes large, but the height of the entrance 34K of the carrier tape 17 corresponds to the thickness of the carrier tape 17. By the way, the projecting portion 34T comes into contact with the regulating portion 32T from below (FIG. 10B), and further upward movement of the ejection guide 34 is regulated.

That is, in the tape feeder 16 according to the present embodiment, the amount of upward movement of the protrusion 34T provided on the ejection guide 34 with respect to the tape ejection passage 35b of the ejection guide 34 is upward with respect to the tape passage 35 of the tape guide 32. When it reaches the maximum value of the movement amount, it comes into contact with the restriction portion 32T of the tape guide 32, and the upward movement amount of the ejection guide 34 with respect to the tape ejection path 35b is regulated. Here, the amount of upward movement of the tape guide 32 with respect to the tape passage 35 is equal to the thickness of the carrier tape 17 inserted between the tape guide 32 and the tape passage 35. The amount of upward movement with respect to 35b is limited so as not to exceed the thickness of the carrier tape 17 inserted between the tape guide 32 and the tape passage 35. As described above, in the present embodiment, in the regulation portion 32T of the tape guide 32, the upward movement amount of the ejection guide 34 with respect to the tape ejection passage 35b does not exceed the upward movement amount of the tape guide 32 with respect to the tape passage 35. Thus, the upward movement of the ejection guide 34 with respect to the tape ejection path 35b is restricted.

10(a) and 10(b) show an example where the thickness of the carrier tape 17 is equal to the maximum value of the upward movement amount of the tape guide 32 with respect to the tape passage 35. is there. In this case, the tape guide 32 has the maximum amount of upward movement of the tape guide 32 with respect to the tape passage 35, and the maximum amount of upward movement of the ejection guide 34 with respect to the tape ejection passage 35b. When the thickness of the carrier tape 17 is smaller than the maximum value of the upward movement of the tape guide 32 with respect to the tape passage 35, the upward movement amount of the tape guide 32 with respect to the tape passage 35 is also smaller than the maximum value. .. In this case, the protruding portion 34T contacts the regulating portion 32T of the tape guide 32 when the upward movement amount of the ejection guide 34 with respect to the tape ejection path 35b reaches the upward movement amount of the tape guide 32 with respect to the tape passage 35. Don't touch The maximum value of the amount of upward movement of the tape guide 32 with respect to the tape passage 35 may be appropriately changed depending on the thickness of the carrier tape 17 depending on the thickness of the carrier tape 17. The maximum value may be a movement amount obtained by further adding a predetermined value (about 10 to 20% of the thickness of the carrier tape 17) to the thickness of No.

The carrier tape 17 that has passed through the tape guide 32 and entered the tape discharge path 35b from the rear end portion of the discharge guide 34 pushes the discharge guide 34 against the urging force of the urging spring 75 (see FIG. The arrow Y5) indicates the space between the tape discharge path 35b and the discharge guide 34 (FIG. 11A). Then, the paper is ejected from the lower end of the ejection guide 34 to the outside of the tape feeder 16 (FIG. 11B).

In the traveling operation of the carrier tape 17 as described above, after the main sprocket 43 has sent the rear portion of the carrier tape 17, the carrier tape 17 cannot be sent any further forward. The preceding carrier tape 17 that cannot be fed forward (usually, the carrier tape 17 that has run out of parts) can be pushed out by the newly inserted subsequent carrier tape 17. Specifically, the leading portion of the succeeding carrier tape 17 is brought into contact with the trailing portion of the leading carrier tape 17, and the trailing carrier tape 17 continues to run so that the leading carrier tape 17 is ejected to the tape discharge path. It can be extruded from 35b.

Here, the leading carrier tape 17 that is disengaged from the main sprocket 43 has its trailing portion immediately after passing through the tape guide 32 due to its own weight, the inlet 34K of the carrier tape 17 (the rear end portion of the discharging guide 34). Attempts to warp upward in the vicinity of. However, as described above, since the upward movement amount of the ejection guide 34 with respect to the tape ejection path 35b is regulated by the thickness of the carrier tape 17, the trailing end of the preceding carrier tape 17 will warp upward. However, the trailing portion of the preceding carrier tape 17 is located on the traveling path of the succeeding carrier tape 17 without actually warping. For this reason, the leading portion of the succeeding carrier tape 17 that has run after the preceding carrier tape 17 contacts the trailing end of the preceding carrier tape 17, and the preceding carrier tape 17 is pushed by the succeeding carrier tape 17. Then, the tape is ejected from the tape ejection path 35b (FIG. 12). Note that, in FIG. 12, the preceding carrier tape 17 is also indicated as reference numeral 17A, and the subsequent carrier tape 17 is also indicated as reference numeral 17B.

Note that, like the tape feeder 16 in the present embodiment, in a tape feeder that does not include a restriction portion that restricts the upward movement amount of the discharge guide 34 with respect to the tape discharge path 35b, the tape guide 32 of the preceding carrier tape 17 is used. Immediately after passing through, the rear portion of the carrier tape 17 is warped upward at the entrance 34K of the carrier tape 17 and jumps up. For this reason, the leading portion of the succeeding carrier tape 17 enters (overlaps) under the warped and flipped portion, making it impossible to push out the preceding carrier tape 17 by the succeeding carrier tape 17. By the way (see the preceding carrier tape 17 indicated by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 12).

As described above, in the tape feeder 16 according to the present embodiment, the upward movement amount of the ejection guide 34 with respect to the tape ejection passage 35b is regulated so as not to exceed the upward movement amount of the tape guide 32 with respect to the tape passage 35. Since the trailing portion of the preceding carrier tape 17 does not warp upward at the entrance 34K of the carrier tape 17, the succeeding carrier tape 17 may enter (overlap) below the trailing portion of the preceding carrier tape 17. Absent. Therefore, the preceding carrier tape 17 can be surely pushed out by the succeeding carrier tape 17, and the occurrence of tape clogging can be prevented.
