Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a component supply device that supplies components stored in a component storage portion of a carrier tape.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a carrier tape has been used to supply components to a nozzle of a transfer head of a component mounting apparatus that mounts components on a substrate. The carrier tape includes a base tape having a main surface on which a plurality of recessed or embossed component housing portions for housing components are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the tape, and a plurality of component housing portions in which components are housed. and a top tape attached to the main surface of the base tape so as to cover it. The top tape is peeled off from the main surface of the base tape so that the nozzle of the transfer head of the component mounting apparatus can pick up the component in the component storage portion of the carrier tape.

For example, Patent Literature 1 discloses peeling a top tape from a base tape by using a top tape peeling member having a cutting edge. Specifically, the top tape peeling member is arranged on the tape path of the carrier tape fed in the tape longitudinal direction (tape feeding direction). The top tape is peeled from the base tape by inserting the edge of the top tape peeling member between the top tape and the base tape in the tape feeding direction from the front end side of the carrier tape that is moving in the tape feeding direction.

Further, for example, the component supply device described in Patent Document 1 is configured to sequentially feed a plurality of carrier tapes in the longitudinal direction of the tape. Specifically, the carrier tape is guided by a guide member facing its back surface (the surface of the base tape opposite to the main surface), and is at a component supply position where components are supplied to the component mounting apparatus. The tape is fed in the longitudinal direction (tape feeding direction) toward In a state where the main surface of the previous carrier tape (previous carrier tape) that supplies components to the component mounting device at the component supply position overlaps with the main surface, the component is scheduled to be supplied at the component supply position next to the previous carrier tape. A subsequent carrier tape (subsequent carrier tape) waits. A stopper member is in contact with the front end of the trailing carrier tape in the tape feed direction so that the trailing carrier tape, which is arranged with its back surface overlapping the main surface of the trailing carrier tape, does not move together with the trailing carrier tape. Note that the preceding carrier tape passes below the stopper member and moves toward the component supply position.

When the trailing end of the leading carrier tape in the tape feeding direction passes the leading end of the trailing carrier tape in the tape feeding direction (when the overlapping of the leading carrier tape and the trailing carrier tape is eliminated), the trailing carrier tape guides the back side of the carrier tape. It is placed on a guide member that Specifically, the subsequent carrier tape on standby is urged in the tape thickness direction by the tape urging member toward the preceding carrier tape (that is, a guide member that guides the back surface of the preceding carrier tape in the tape thickness direction) ( In other words, the leading carrier tape and the trailing carrier tape are sandwiched in the tape thickness direction between the tape biasing member and the guide member). When the trailing end of the leading carrier tape in the tape feeding direction passes the leading end of the trailing carrier tape in the tape feeding direction, the trailing carrier tape is biased by the tape biasing member in the tape thickness direction and placed on the guide member. As a result, following the preceding carrier tape, the subsequent carrier tape is fed toward the component supply position while being guided by the guide member.

For example, the outer peripheral portion 34b of the roller body portion 34 may be configured to face only the feed holes 208 in the carrier tape 200 on the first sub tape path P1. For example, like a sprocket, the roller main body 34a may have a minimum size in the tape width direction (X-axis direction) capable of forming a plurality of pins 34c.

A method of sequentially feeding a plurality of carrier tapes 200 in the tape feed direction A toward the component supply position Q1 using the first and second sub tape paths P1 and P2 as described above will be described.

As a premise, the component supply device 10 of the present embodiment is configured to use the first sub tape path P1 when loading the carrier tape 200 into the main body 12 of the component supply device 10 . For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when the carrier tape 200 (that is, the preceding carrier tape 200A) is loaded into the main body portion 12 of the component supply device 10 in which the carrier tape 200 is not loaded, the first secondary Tape path P1 is used. Further, for example, when the carrier tape 200 (following carrier tape 200B) following the carrier tape 200 (preceding carrier tape 200A) that has already been put into the main body 12 of the component supplying device 10 is put into the main body 12 of the component feeding device 10. , the first secondary tape path P1 is used.

As shown in FIG. 3, the carrier tape 200 (preceding carrier tape 200A) is placed on the first sub tape path P1 manually by an operator, for example. Specifically, first, the front end portion of the carrier tape 200 (preceding carrier tape 200A) in the tape feed direction A is positioned above the guide blocks 36L and 36R of the first and second tape guide portions 32L and 32R of the tape holding unit 30. placed in

The carrier tape 200 (preceding carrier tape 200
A) is fed in the tape feed direction A manually by the operator. The carrier tape 200 (previous carrier tape 200A) sent in the tape feeding direction A by the operator enters between the tape guides 36L, 36R and the pin rollers 34 (gap 1), and the feeding holes 208 thereof are aligned with the pins of the pin rollers 34. 34c. When the feed hole 208 engages with the pin 34c of the pin roller 34, the carrier tape 200 (previous carrier tape 200A) will not come off unintentionally from the component supply device 10. FIG.

When the operator rotates the pin roller 34 with the pin 34c engaged with the feed hole 208 so as to feed the carrier tape 200 in the tape feed direction A, the carrier tape 200 (previous carrier tape 200A) moves along the first sub tape path. The tape is fed in the tape feeding direction A along P1 toward the slot 12a of the main body 12 of the component feeder 10. As shown in FIG.

The carrier tape 200 (preceding carrier tape 200A) that has passed through the inlet 12a is reliably fed in the tape feeding direction A by the manual rotation of the pin roller 34 by the operator, even if the carrier tape is thin, and is fed in the main direction. It goes to the sprocket 14 positioned most upstream in the tape feed direction A along the tape path P0.

As shown in FIG. 6, when the feeding holes 208 of the carrier tape 200 (preceding carrier tape 200A) engage with the teeth 14a of the sprocket 14, the tape feeding by the pin rollers 34 is completed. For example, when the operator presses a button such as a "tape set completion button", or when the carrier tape 200 reaches a position on the main tape path P0 where the feed hole 208 engages the tooth 14a of the sprocket 14, the sensor detects that the carrier tape 200 has reached the position. (not shown) detects the start of rotation of sprocket 14 by carrier tape 200 in motion, for example, by rotation of pin roller 34, and carrier tape 200 (preceding carrier tape 200A) on tooth 14a. , the sprocket 14 engaged with the feed hole 208 begins to rotate.

Rotation of the sprocket 14 feeds the carrier tape 200 (leading carrier tape 200A) along the main tape path P0 toward the sprocket 16 located further downstream in the tape feeding direction A, as shown in FIG. When the teeth 16a of the sprocket 16 are engaged with the feed holes 208 of the carrier tape 200 (preceding carrier tape 200A), the sprocket 14 stops rotating and enters a freely rotating state (a motor (not shown) that drives the sprocket 14). ) is de-excited).

The carrier tape 200 (preceding carrier tape 200A) sent in the tape feeding direction A by the sprocket 16 has its top tape 206 peeled off by the cutting edge 20a of the top tape peeling section 20 at the top tape peeling position Q1, as shown in FIG. Then, the feed hole 208 is engaged with the tooth 18a of the sprocket 18 positioned between the top tape peeling portion 20 and the component supply position Q1. Then, the two sprockets 16 and 18 feed the carrier tape 200 (preceding carrier tape 200A) in the tape feed direction A toward the component supply position Q1.

The carrier tape 200 (preceding carrier tape 200A) fed in the tape feeding direction A by the two sprockets 16 and 18 is, as shown in FIG. The part exposed to the outside by peeling off the top tape 206 is supplied.

At an arbitrary timing while the leading carrier tape 200 is supplying components to the nozzles 102 of the transfer head 100 of the component mounting apparatus, the trailing carrier scheduled to supply the components next following the leading carrier tape 200A. A tape 200B is placed on the body portion 12 . Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the preceding carrier tape 200A moving on the first sub tape path P1 is moved to the second sub tape path P2, and the first sub tape path P1 thus vacated is moved to the second sub tape path P2. A subsequent carrier tape 200B is placed. This will be explained.

The movement of the preceding carrier tape 200A from the first secondary tape path P1 to the second secondary tape path P2 is performed by pivoting the movable bracket 40 of the tape holding unit 30 about the rotation centerline C1.

As shown in FIG. 6, from the state in which the leading carrier tape 200A is moving along the first sub tape path P1 in the tape feed direction A, the operator moves the movable bracket 40 of the tape holding unit 30 around the rotation center line C1. Rotate as

By turning the movable bracket 40 of the tape holding unit 30 arranged on the main surface 204a side of the leading carrier tape 200A, as shown in FIG. rises, that is, moves away from the major surface 204a side of the preceding carrier tape 200A on the first sub tape path P1.

When the pin roller 34 rises by turning the movable bracket 40 of the tape holding unit 30, the first tape guide portion 32L (guide block 36L) of the fixed bracket 38 moves relative to the pin roller 34 in the tape thickness direction (Z-axis direction). move away from As a result, the pins 34c of the pin roller 34 (see FIG. 4) engaged with the feed holes 208 of the preceding carrier tape 200A move the feeding of the preceding carrier tape 200A on the first sub tape path P1 as shown in FIG. It is relatively retracted from inside the hole 208 . As a result, the preceding carry tape 200A can move in the tape width direction (X-axis direction) from between the first tape guide portion 32L (guide block 36L) on the feed hole 208 side and the roller body portion 34a of the pin roller 34. state.

Further, when the second tape guide portion 32R (guide block 36R) rises in the direction away from the main surface 204a of the preceding carrier tape 200A by turning the movable bracket 40 of the tape holding unit 30, it is placed on the guide block 36R. The other side of the preceding carrier tape 200A in the tape width direction (the side opposite to the feed hole 208 side) is lifted. This partially twists the preceding carrier tape 200A (in FIG. 7, the dotted line indicates the preceding carrier tape 200A before being twisted). Specifically, the preceding carrier tape 200A turns around the vicinity of the second tape guide portion 32R, and the portion in the vicinity of the second tape guide portion 32R (guide block 36R) is twisted more than the other portions.

As shown in FIG. 7, the leading carrier tape 200A is twisted so that the other side in the tape width direction, which is the side opposite to the feed hole 208 side, is lifted, and then the second tape guide portion 32R (guide block 36R) of the movable bracket 40 is moved. ) rises, as shown in FIG. 8, the other side of the preceding carrier tape 200A in the tape width direction slides down from the guide block 36R and moves below the guide block 36R while untwisting.

As shown in FIG. 8, the second tape guide portion 32R relatively rises above the preceding carrier tape 200A, and the other side of the preceding carrier tape 200A in the tape width direction, which is opposite to the feed hole 208 side, is the second tape guide portion 32R. 2, the leading carrier tape 200A falls downward. That is, the preceding carrier tape 200A on the first sub tape path P1 passes between the first and second tape guide portions 32L, 32R, and the second sub tape path P1 exists below the first sub tape path P1. It moves toward the secondary tape path P2. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the preceding carrier tape 200A
is moved from the first secondary tape path P1 to the second secondary tape path P2.

Here, guide members for guiding (supporting) the carrier tape 200 on the first sub tape path P1 from below are the first and second tape guide portions 32L and 32R (guide blocks) of the tape holding unit 30. 36L, 36R) will be explained.

For example, consider a case where one guide member guides (supports) the carrier tape 200 on the first sub tape path P1 from below. In this case, when the carrier tape 200 is moved from above the first sub tape path P1 onto the second sub tape path P2 located below it, the position between the first and second sub tape paths P1 and P2 It is necessary to move the carrier tape 200 so as to bypass one of the guide members. That is, it is necessary to greatly change the tape width direction position (X-axis direction position) of the carrier tape 200 . Therefore, it is necessary to secure a space for the carrier tape 200 to bypass one guide member.

If a space is provided for the carrier tape 200 to bypass one such guide member, it is necessary to increase the size of the component supply device 10 in the tape width direction (X-axis direction). As a result, the number of mounted component supply devices 10 that are mounted densely in the tape width direction (X-axis direction) on one component mounting device is reduced.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, the carrier tape 200 on the first sub tape path P1 is divided in the tape width direction (X-axis direction) by first and second tape guide portions 32L, 32R (guide block 36L, 36R) guides (supports) from below both end sides in the tape width direction, when moving the carrier tape 200 from the first sub tape path P1 onto the second sub tape path P2 located below it, The carrier tape 200 can easily pass between the first and second tape guide portions 32L, 32R. That is, the carrier tape 200 can move from the first sub tape path P1 onto the second sub tape path P2 below without significantly changing the tape width direction position (X-axis direction position). Therefore, the size of the component supply device 10 in the tape width direction (X-axis direction) can be reduced.

When the pin roller 34 rises due to the rotation of the movable bracket 40 of the tape holding unit 30, the pin 34c moves the tape from the feed hole 208 of the carrier tape 200 (preceding carrier tape 200A) on the first sub tape path P1. It is preferable to be able to reliably retract (disengage) in the thickness direction (Z-axis direction).

In the case of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the pin roller 34 extends from the feed hole 208 of the carrier tape 200 (preceding carrier tape 200A) on the first sub tape path P1 in the tape thickness direction (Z-axis direction). When the pin 34c is raised and retracted, the main surface 204a side of the carrier tape 200A in the retracting direction (that is, the tape thickness direction) of the pin 34c and the tape width direction (X-axis direction) of the carrier tape on the feeding hole 208 side ) has a tape pressing portion 46 for pressing one side thereof.

As shown in FIG. 4, the tape holding portion 46 extends from the inner side surface 38a of the fixing bracket 38 of the tape holding unit 30 toward above the feed hole 208 of the carrier tape 200 on the first sub tape path P1. (or part of the fixed bracket 38). In the case of the present embodiment, the tape pressing portion 46 is also positioned downstream in the tape feeding direction A with respect to the first tape pressing portion 32L, as shown in FIG.

When the pin roller 34 and the second tape guide portion 32R are raised by the rotation of the movable bracket 40 of the tape holding unit 30, the tape pressing portion 46 presses the carrier tape 200 (preceding carrier tape 200A) from above, thereby The pins 34c of 34 can be reliably retracted from the feed holes 208 of the carrier tape 200 (previous carrier tape 200A). That is, along with the pin roller 34 and the second tape guide portion 32R, the carrier tape 200 (preceding carrier tape 200A) is prevented from moving upward from the first sub tape path P1.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, after the second tape guide portion 32R moves upward from the lower side of the carrier tape 200 (preceding carrier tape 200A) by turning the movable bracket 40 of the tape holding unit 30, the movable bracket 40 in the opposite direction, the carrier tape 200 (preceding carrier tape 200A) may be pushed downward toward the second sub tape path P2 by the second tape guide portion 32R. For example, after the second tape guide portion 32R moves from the lower side to the upper side of the carrier tape 200 (preceding carrier tape 200A), the carrier tape 200 (preceding carrier tape 200A) is difficult to fall naturally. It is effective (eg for carrier tapes with large tape thicknesses).

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, when the preceding carrier tape 200A moves from the first sub-tape path P1 onto the second sub-tape path P2, the following carrier tape 200B is moved to the vacant first sub-tape path P1. can be placed.

Similarly to the preceding carrier tape 200A, the subsequent carrier tape 200B is manually moved by an operator so that the front end in the tape feeding direction is aligned with the guide block 36L of the first and second tape guide portions 32L and 32R of the tape holding unit 30. , 36R. The subsequent carrier tape 200B placed on the guide blocks 36L and 36R passes under the pin roller 34 by manually feeding the tape in the tape feeding direction A by the operator, and the pin 34c of the pin roller 34 passes through the feed hole 208 of the pin roller 34. engages. As a result, the subsequent carrier tape 200B can reliably wait on the first sub tape path P1 without unintentionally coming off.

In addition, the component supply apparatus 10 of the present embodiment, following the preceding carrier tape 200A being fed in the tape feed direction A along the second sub-tape path P2 and the main tape path P0, feeds the first sub-tape. It has an automatic tape feeding mechanism 50 that automatically starts feeding the subsequent carrier tape 200B waiting on the path P1.

First, in order to automatically start feeding the subsequent carrier tape 200B by the automatic tape feeding mechanism 50, as shown in FIG. The subsequent carrier tape 200B waits while entering the main tape path P0 from . Specifically, when the operator rotates the pin roller 34, the front end 210B of the subsequent carrier tape 200B in the tape feed direction A is moved from the first sub tape path P1 to the main tape path P0.

Also, the front end 210B in the tape feeding direction A of the trailing carrier tape 200B that has entered the main tape path P0 is fed in the tape feeding direction A along the second sub tape path P2 and the first sub tape path P1. The subsequent carrier tape 200B waits while overlapping the carrier tape 200A.

For this purpose, the upper guide surface 12c of the main body 12 is arranged above and faces the carrier tape 200 on the main tape path P0, and the lower guide surface 12d is arranged below and faces the carrier tape 200. provides a gap through which two carrier tapes 200 overlapping in the tape thickness direction can pass in the vicinity of the tape inlet 12a.

As shown in FIG. 11, the automatic tape feeding mechanism 50 includes a sprocket 14 arranged on the most upstream side in the tape feeding direction A and a biasing mechanism that biases the carrier tape 200 on the main tape path P0 toward the sprocket 14. It has a block 52 and a stopper 54 for waiting the subsequent carrier tape 200B.

The urging block 52 of the automatic tape feed mechanism 50 is arranged to face the sprocket 14 across the main tape path P0, and is positioned on the main tape path P0 (that is, the upper guide surface 12c and the lower guide surface 12d of the main body 12). and the carrier tape 200 toward the sprocket 14 . Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the biasing block 52 is movable toward and away from the sprocket 14 from the lower guide surface 12d, and is moved toward the sprocket 14 by a biasing member (for example, a spring) (not shown). energized. A two-dot chain line in FIG. 3 indicates the biasing block 52 in a state of being retracted from the lower guide surface 12d.

On the other hand, the teeth 14a of the sprocket 14 facing the biasing block 52 protrude from the upper guide surface 12c toward the biasing block 52, as shown in FIG.

The carrier tape 200 placed between the upper guide surface 12c and the lower guide surface 12d is urged by the urging block 52 to come into contact with the upper guide surface 12c, and the feed holes 208 thereof engage the teeth 14a of the sprocket 14. engage.

When the leading carrier tape 200A and the trailing carrier tape 200B exist between the urging block 52 and the sprocket 14 in an overlapping state, the teeth 14a of the sprocket 14 are engaged with the feed holes 208 of the upper trailing carrier tape 200B. match.

The stopper 54 of the automatic tape feeding mechanism 50 has a tape locking portion 54a that can advance and retreat from the upper guide surface 12c of the body portion 12 toward the lower guide surface 12d.

As shown in FIG. 11, the leading carrier tape 200A being fed in the tape feed direction A by sprocket 16 (or sprockets 16, 18) (see FIG. 1) along second secondary tape path P2 and primary tape path P0. The tape engaging portion 54a of the stopper 54 comes into contact with the front end 210B in the tape feeding direction A of the subsequent carrier tape 200B which is superimposed thereon. As a result, movement of the preceding carrier tape 200A in the tape feed direction A and movement of the following carrier tape 200B toward the component supply position Q1 are suppressed.

When there is no carrier tape 200 between the urging block 52 and the sprocket 14, or when there is only one carrier tape 200, the tape engaging portion 54a of the stopper 54 is as shown in FIGS. It is retreated from the upper guide surface 12c.

For example, the tape locking portion 54 a of the stopper 54 advances and retreats in conjunction with the advance and retreat of the urging block 52 . For example, the biasing block 52 is lowered to a position where two carrier tapes 200 are present between the biasing block 54 and the sprocket 14, thereby causing the tape engaging portion 54a of the stopper 54 to move downward from the upper guide surface 12c. protrude to

Since the component supply device 10 has such an automatic tape feeding mechanism 50, the following carrier tape 200B waiting on the first sub tape path P1 is transferred to the second sub tape path P2 and the main tape path P0. It can automatically follow the preceding carrier tape 200A being fed in tape feed direction A along.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, following the preceding carrier tape 200A which supplies components in advance to the nozzle 102 of the transfer head 100 of the component mounting apparatus, Even if the carrier tape 200 is thin, the following carrier tape 200B can be fed on the first secondary tape path P1 toward the component supply position Q1 so that the subsequent carrier tape 200B can be fed toward the component supply position Q1. The tape 200B can be reliably made to stand by.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above-described embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments.

For example, in the case of the component supply device 10 of the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. Although opposed, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to this.

For example, in the case of the tape holding unit 130 of the component supply device according to another embodiment, as shown in FIG. The end is offset downstream in the tape feeding direction A relative to the upstream end in the tape feeding direction A of the first tape guide portion 132L (the guide block 36L supported by it). This makes it easier for the carrier tape 200 on the first sub tape path P1 to pass between the first and second tape guide portions 132L and 132R in the tape thickness direction (up and down direction), thus allowing the first sub tape path P1 to pass through. It becomes easier to fall (easier to move) to the second sub tape path P2 located below the path P1 (compared to the case where the first and second tape guide portions face each other in the tape width direction).

Further, the carrier tape 200 on the first sub tape path P1 can easily pass between the first and second tape guide portions 32L, 32R of the tape holding unit 30 toward the second sub tape path P2. , at least one of the first and second tape guide portions 32L and 32R may be made of a material that is elastically deformable in the tape width direction (X-axis direction). For example, in the embodiment described above, at least one of the fixed bracket 38 and the movable bracket 40 of the tape holding unit 30 may be made of a resin material.

Further, the following carrier tape 200B waiting on the first sub tape path P1 follows the preceding carrier tape 200A being sent in the tape feeding direction A along the second sub tape path P2 and the main tape path P0. The automatic tape feeding mechanism for automatically feeding is not limited to the automatic tape feeding mechanism of the above embodiment.

For example, another form of automatic tape feed mechanism detects the trailing edge in the tape feed direction A of the leading carrier tape 200A being fed in the tape feed direction along the second secondary tape path P2 and the primary tape path P0. , a sensor (not shown) provided at the tape inlet 12 a of the main body 12 of the component supply device 10 and a motor (not shown) for rotating the pin roller 34 of the tape holding unit 30 .

When the sensor provided at the tape slot 12a detects the rear end of the preceding carrier tape 200A, the motor rotates the pin roller 34. As shown in FIG. As a result, the subsequent carrier tape 200B waiting on the first sub tape path P1 is sent toward the component supply position Q1 following the preceding carrier tape 200A.

Furthermore, in the case of the component supply device 10 of the above-described embodiment, the movement of the leading carrier tape 200A from above the first sub-tape path P1 onto the second sub-tape path P2 below it is caused by the movement of the tape holding unit 30. This is done by manually pivoting the bracket 40 . Alternatively, a drive source such as a motor may rotate the movable bracket 40 .

In addition, in the case of the above-described embodiment, by turning the movable bracket 40 of the tape holding unit 30, as shown in FIG. A second tape guide portion 32R (a guide block 36R ) rises. However, embodiments of the present invention are not limited to this.

Another embodiment of the component feeding apparatus is configured such that only the pin rollers 34 are spaced upward from the preceding carrier tape 200A on the first sub tape path P1. For example, the operator moves the pin roller 34 to withdraw the pin 34c of the pin roller 34 from the feed hole 208 of the preceding carrier tape 200A. Next, the worker grabs the leading carrier tape 200A, passes the grabbed leading carrier tape 200A between the first and second tape guide portions 32L and 32R, and places it on the second sub tape path P2. . This completes the movement of the leading carrier tape 200A from the first sub tape path P1 to the second sub tape path P2 located below.

That is, in a broad sense, the present invention sequentially feeds a leading carrier tape and a trailing carrier tape containing components and having a plurality of feed holes aligned in the longitudinal direction of the tape to the component supply position, A component supply device for supplying components to a transfer head of a component mounting device, comprising: a main body; a tape path formed in the main body for guiding a carrier tape to the component supply position; The component supply device has a tape holding unit that holds the preceding carrier tape at a position above and away from the tape path, and a sprocket that engages the feeding hole of the succeeding carrier tape .

In the present invention, while the carrier tape is being fed along the tape path, the cutting edge of the top tape peeling section arranged on the tape path enters between the base tape and the top tape from the front end side of the carrier tape in the tape feeding direction. Therefore, it is possible to apply a component supply device that at least partially peels off the top tape from the base tape.
