JP 2005-216946 A

By the way, in a component mounting machine, a plurality of feeders each loaded with a reel are arranged side by side. Then, in the setup change work when changing the type of substrate product to be produced, the first case occurs in which the feeder is temporarily removed and the alignment position is changed. A second case also arises in which the reel is replaced after the feeder has been removed, changing the type of part held.

Here, the control unit that associates feeder IDs and component IDs in Patent Literature 1 needs to maintain the association in the first case and discard the association in the second case. As a simple method for discriminating between the first case and the second case, a discriminating method using the duration of the detached state is used. That is, the first case has a short duration of the detached state, and the second case has a long duration of the detached state, so two cases are distinguished.

In recent years, in response to demands for labor saving and automation in production, an automatic changer for automatically changing feeders has been put into practical use. However, it is difficult to achieve complete automation, and manual replacement is sometimes used as well. In addition, there is also a line configuration in which a new-type component mounting machine that is compatible with an automatic changer and an old-type component mounting machine that relies on manual replacement are used together. Here, the automatic changer manages the feeder removed from the component mounter and does not allow the change of the reel. Therefore, it is not necessary to cancel the correspondence between the feeder ID and the part ID within the scope of application of the automatic changer.

In other words, the prior art, such as US Pat. In other words, even if the feeder is automatically removed by the automatic changer, if the removal state continues for a long time, the association will be discarded. As a result, when the automatic changer attaches the feeder device to the component mounting machine again, the operator needs to re-register the correspondence, which is troublesome. Additionally, if the operator fails to re-register, an error will occur.

An object of the present specification is to provide a parts type management device that functions properly for both automatic and manual replacement of a parts supply device and that can properly manage the types of parts held in the parts supply device. should be the subject.

This specification relates to registering association data that associates individual identification information of a component supply device attached to a component mounting machine to supply components with the types of components held in the component supply device. a registration unit; a correspondence discarding unit that discards the correspondence data when a predetermined condition is satisfied after the component supply device is removed from the component mounting machine; and a removal determination unit that determines whether or not the component supply device has been removed by the automatic replacement device. and a correspondence maintenance unit that maintains data.

In the parts type management device disclosed in this specification, the removal determination unit determines whether the parts supply device has been removed by the automatic replacement device, and if the parts supply device has been automatically removed, the association maintenance unit function to maintain the mapping data. For this reason, the operator does not need to take the time and effort to re-register the association data, and there is no risk of an error occurring. Further, when the component supply device is manually removed, the association discarding unit functions and discards the association data when a predetermined condition is satisfied. For this reason, there is no risk of an error caused by continuing to maintain the correspondence data against the possibility that the types of components held in the component supply device are changed. Therefore, the component type management device functions properly for both automatic and manual replacement of the component supply device, and can appropriately manage the types of components held in the component supply device.

It is a figure of the operation|movement flow explaining operation|movement of the component kind management apparatus of embodiment.

1. Configuration Example of Component Mounting System 9 First, a configuration example of the component mounting system 9 in which the component type management device 5 (see FIG. 2) of the embodiment is incorporated will be described. The component mounting system 9 mounts components on boards to produce board products. As shown in FIG. 1, the front, rear, left, and right sides of the component mounting system 9 are defined for convenience. The component mounting system 9 is constructed by arranging a plurality of work machines for board in the horizontal direction. That is, a solder printing machine 91, a print inspection machine 92, a first component mounting machine 93, a second component mounting machine 94, a third component mounting machine 95, an unillustrated board appearance inspection machine, and an unillustrated reflow machine are located on the left side. are arranged from to the right.

Each board-related work machine performs a predetermined work on a board, that is, a board-related work. Specifically, the solder printer 91 prints paste solder on the substrate in a predetermined pattern shape. The print inspection machine 92 takes an image of the solder print state of the board and inspects it. A first component mounter 93, a second component mounter 94, and a third component mounter 95 pick up components from the component supply section 9A and mount them on the solder of the board. A board appearance inspection machine takes an image of a component mounted on a board and inspects the appearance state. Reflow machines ensure soldering of components by heating and cooling the solder. The board-related work is not limited to the above-described work contents, and includes various accompanying works. For example, the board-related work includes loading/unloading work and positioning work of the board, and confirmation work of capturing images of the board and components and detecting their positions and orientations.

The first component mounting machine 93, the second component mounting machine 94, and the third component mounting machine 95 have the same structure. The component mounters (93, 94, 95) have a component supply section 9A, a spare feeder storage section 9B, a substrate transfer device not visible in FIG. 1, and a component transfer device.

The component supply unit 9A is arranged at approximately the middle height on the front side of the machine base 99 . The component supply section 9A has a plurality of slots extending in the front-rear direction and formed parallel to each other at a predetermined pitch. A feeder 8 is inserted and attached to each slot of the component supply section 9A. That is, the plurality of feeders 8 are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction of FIG. Feeder 8 is an example of a component supply device.

The spare feeder storage section 9B is arranged below the component supply section 9A on the front side of the machine base 99 . The spare feeder storage section 9B also has a plurality of slots extending in the front-rear direction and formed parallel to each other at a predetermined pitch. In the slots of the spare feeder storage unit 9B, spare feeders 8 that have completed setup work and used feeders 8 are arranged and temporarily stored. The substrate transport device loads, positions, and unloads substrates. The component transfer device picks up a component from the component supply section 9A using a component mounting tool such as a suction nozzle, and mounts it on the board.

The feeder 8 is detachably attached to the component supply section 9A and spare feeder storage section 9B. The feeder 8 is used interchangeably with the first component mounting machine 93 , the second component mounting machine 94 and the third component mounting machine 95 . Feeder 8 is also used in other component loading systems not shown. The left-right direction in FIG. 1 is the direction in which the plurality of feeders 8 are arranged, and the front-rear direction in FIG.

The feeder 8 is assigned individual identification information and managed. The individual identification information is displayed on a label printed with a bar code or the like. Further, the control unit (not shown) of the feeder 8 holds individual identification information and has a function of transmitting the individual identification information using communication. The feeder 8 is replaceably loaded with a reel around which a carrier tape is wound. The carrier tape stores and holds components in respective cavities arranged in the longitudinal direction. Information on the type of components held on the reel is displayed by attaching a label printed with a bar code to the reel. It should be noted that the individual identification information and the information on the type of parts may be provided by display locations and display methods other than those described above.

The component mounting system 9 is provided with a feeder storage device 96 , a line management device 97 and an automatic changer 1 . The feeder storage device 96 is arranged adjacent to the left side of the solder printer 91 and at the same height as the component supply section 9A of the component mounters (93, 94, 95). The feeder storage device 96 has a plurality of slots extending in the front-rear direction and formed parallel to each other at a predetermined pitch, similarly to the component supply section 9A. Feeders 8 that have been set up and used feeders 8 are attached and stored in the slots of the feeder storage device 96 . A line manager 97 is located adjacent to the left side of the feeder storage device 96 .

The automatic changer 1 automatically changes the feeders 8 . Specifically, the automatic exchange device 1 exchanges the feeders 8 between the component supply section 9A of the component mounters (93, 94, 95) and the spare feeder storage section 9B. Further, the automatic changer 1 moves between the component mounters (93, 94, 95) and the feeder storage device 96, conveys the feeder 8, and changes it.

As shown in FIG. 1, the automatic changer 1 is composed of an arrangement-direction moving unit 2, an arrangement-direction drive unit 20, an exchange unit 3, and the like. The array direction moving unit 2 is provided so as to be movable in the array direction with respect to the component mounters (93, 94, 95). The arrangement direction moving part 2 is a vertically long box-shaped member with an open rear side. The arrangement direction driving device 20 moves the arrangement direction moving part 2 in the arrangement direction. The array direction driving device 20 is composed of a track portion provided on the non-moving side, an engaging portion provided on the moving side and movably engaged with the track portion, and a drive source for generating power for movement. be.

The middle rail 21 and the lower rail 22 corresponding to the track section are provided on the front surface of the base 99 of the plurality of board-oriented working machines and the front surface of the feeder storage device 96, respectively. The middle rail 21 and the lower rail 22 extend in the arrangement direction. The height position of the middle rail 21 is unified between the part supply section 9A and the spare feeder storage section 9B. The height position of the lower rail 22 is unified under the spare feeder storage section 9B. Thereby, the plurality of middle rails 21 and the plurality of lower rails 22 form two track portions extending from the feeder storage device 96 to the third component mounting machine 95 and parallel to each other.

The middle running portion 23 and the lower running portion 24 corresponding to the engaging portions are arranged on the left and right rear sides of the arrangement direction moving portion 2, respectively. The middle running portion 23 engages the middle rail 21 so as to be able to run, and the lower running portion 24 engages the lower rail 22 so as to be able to run. The middle stage traveling portion 23 further includes a drive source that generates power for traveling. As a result, the arrangement-direction moving unit 2 is mounted on the middle rail 21 and the lower rail 22, and travels and moves in the arrangement direction.

Further, the arrangement direction moving section 2 is provided with a non-contact power receiving section 25 at a height position between the middle stage traveling section 23 and the lower stage traveling section 24 and at a height position that does not interfere with the replacement of the feeder 8 . The non-contact power receiving unit 25 non-contactly receives electric power from non-contact power transmitting units provided at corresponding heights of the plurality of work machines for the board. As a result, power is supplied to the arrangement direction driving device 20, the replacement unit 3, and the like. An electromagnetic coupling method, an electrostatic coupling method, or the like is appropriately adopted as a coupling method between the non-contact power receiving unit 25 and the non-contact power transmitting unit.

The arrangement-direction moving unit 2 has an up-and-down driving unit 26 and a replacement unit 3 inside a box shape. The elevation drive unit 26 drives the replacement unit 3 up and down from the height of the component supply unit 9A to the height of the spare feeder storage unit 9B. A ball screw feed mechanism can be exemplified as the elevation driving unit 26, but is not limited to this. The exchange unit 3 has a feeder gripping unit (not shown) on the rear side, and automatically attaches, removes, and replaces the feeder 8 .

2. Configuration of Control of Component Mounting System 9 Next, the configuration of control of the component mounting system 9 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, line management device 97 is configured using a computer device having memory 57, wired communication function, and wireless communication function. The line management device 97 is connected to the control units (not shown) of the plurality of board-to-board work machines using wired communication. In addition, the line management device 97 is connected to a control unit (not shown) of the automatic switching device 1 using wireless communication.

The line management device 97 also has a bar code reader 58 operated by an operator. The barcode reader 58 reads the barcode displayed on the feeder 8 and acquires the individual identification information of the feeder 8 . Also, the barcode reader 58 reads the barcode displayed on the reel and acquires information on the type of the component. Information acquired by the barcode reader 58 is stored in the memory 57 . If the display method of the individual identification information of the feeder 8 and the information on the type of parts is different from the barcode, a device other than the barcode reader 58 is used according to the display method.

The line management device 97 manages job data describing the work content of the board-related work that differs for each type of board product. The line management device 97 sends job data to each of the plurality of work machines for board based on the production plan. As a result, each of the work machines for the board performs the work for the board according to the job data. Furthermore, the line management device 97 monitors the operation status of the plurality of work machines for the board.

In addition, the line management device 97 issues a replacement command to the automatic replacement device 1 when the component placement machines (93, 94, 95) progress and the feeder 8 runs out of components. The automatic changer 1 first removes the feeder 8 that has run out of parts from the parts supply section 9A according to the exchange command. As a result, an empty slot is created in the component supply section 9A. Next, the automatic changer 1 transfers another feeder 8 holding the same kind of parts that have run out of parts from the spare feeder storage section 9B or the feeder storage device 96 to fill the empty slot of the parts supply section 9A. Attach to

Furthermore, the line management device 97 issues a setup change command to the automatic changer 1 when changing the type of board product to be produced. The automatic changer 1 performs automatic change work of the feeders 8 of the component mounters (93, 94, 95) according to the setup change command. In many setup change commands, multiple feeders 8 of multiple component mounters (93, 94, 95) are automatically changed.

In addition, the line management device 97 designates the type of parts required based on the production plan prior to issuing the replacement command or setup change command, and feeds the reels to the feeder 8 outside the component mounting machines (93, 94, 95). Request the setup work to load the The operator performs setup work in advance according to a request, and sets the feeder 8 for which the setup work has been completed in the spare feeder storage section 9B or the feeder storage device 96 . As a result, the work interruption time of the component mounters (93, 94, 95) when components run out is shortened.

The controllers of the component mounting machines (93, 94, 95) communicate with the controllers of the feeders 8 attached to the component supply section 9A and the spare feeder storage section 9B to acquire the individual identification information of the feeders 8. FIG. In addition, the control unit of the component mounters (93, 94, 95) recognizes that the feeder 8 has been attached and removed from management (attachment/detachment information) based on whether or not communication with the feeder 8 is possible. do. The acquired individual identification information of the feeder 8 and the recognized attachment/detachment information are transmitted to the line management device 97 and shared.

In addition, the control unit of the automatic exchange device 1 communicates with the control unit of the feeder 8 held by the exchange unit 3 and the feeder storage device 96 to acquire the individual identification information of the feeder 8 . Based on whether or not communication with the feeder 8 is possible, the control unit of the automatic exchange device 1 recognizes that the feeder 8 is held and removed from management (attachment/detachment information). The acquired individual identification information of the feeder 8 and the recognized attachment/detachment information are transmitted to the line management device 97 and shared.

A control section of the component mounting machine (93, 94, 95) manages the attached feeder 8. FIG. It is impossible to replace the reel while the feeder 8 is attached to the component mounters (93, 94, 95). Also, the control unit of the automatic changer 1 manages the feeders 8 held in the changer 3 or the feeder storage device 96 . It is impossible to replace the reel while the feeder 8 is held in the replacement section 3 or the feeder storage device 96 . Therefore, the operator must manually remove the feeder 8 from the component mounters (93, 94, 95) or the feeder storage device 96 when performing reel replacement work.

3. Configuration of Part Kind Management Apparatus 5 of Embodiment Next, the configuration of the part kind management apparatus 5 of the embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 2 , the parts type management device 5 is implemented by software of the line management device 97 . The component type management device 5 is composed of a correspondence registration unit 51 , a correspondence cancellation unit 52 , a removal determination unit 53 , and a correspondence maintenance unit 54 .

The correspondence registration unit 51 registers in the memory 57 the correspondence data 55 in which the individual identification information of the feeder 8 and the information on the types of components held in the feeder 8 are associated with each other. The individual feeders 8 and the types of parts are associated with each other by operating the barcode reader 58 . That is, the association data 55 is created by the operator operating the bar code reader 58 to read the individual identification information of the feeder 8 and the information of the type of parts displayed on the reel. After this, the operator loads the reel in question into the feeder 8 in question.

The association discarding unit 52 discards the association data 55 when a predetermined condition is satisfied after the feeder 8 is removed from the component mounting machines (93, 94, 95). Similarly, the association discarding unit 52 discards the association data 55 when a predetermined condition is satisfied after the feeder 8 is removed from the feeder storage device 96 . The predetermined condition determines whether or not there is a possibility that the type (reel) of the component held in the feeder 8 will be changed. In this embodiment, the predetermined condition is defined as elapse of a predetermined time T0 (see FIG. 3).

That is, if the elapsed time TX (see FIG. 3) after the feeder 8 is removed from the component mounters (93, 94, 95) or the feeder storage device 96 is less than the predetermined time T0, it is difficult to complete the reel replacement work. , there is no possibility of changing the type of parts. Further, when the elapsed time TX reaches or exceeds the predetermined time T0, there is a possibility that the reel replacement work will occur and the type of parts will be changed. The predetermined time T0 is practically set to about several tens of seconds. The predetermined condition may be a condition other than the lapse of the predetermined time T0. For example, it may be determined that the predetermined condition is established when the feeder 8 is separated from the component mounting system 9 by a predetermined distance.

The removal determining section 53 determines whether or not the feeder 8 has been removed by the automatic changer 1 . More specifically, the removal determination section 53 acquires attachment/detachment information indicating that the feeder 8 has been removed from the control section of the component mounting machine (93, 94, 95), and further acquires individual identification information of the removed feeder 8. . Next, the removal determination unit 53 acquires the attachment/detachment information indicating whether or not the feeder 8 is held by the exchange unit 3 and the individual identification information of the feeder 8 that is held from the control unit of the automatic exchange device 1 .

When the exchange unit 3 does not hold the feeder 8, the removal determination unit 53 determines that the feeder 8 has not been removed by the automatic changer 1, in other words, the feeder 8 has been manually removed. Furthermore, when the individual identification information of the feeder 8 held by the replacement unit 3 is different from the individual identification information of the feeder 8 removed from the component mounting machines (93, 94, 95), the removal determination unit 53 Determined as manual removal. Further, the removal determination unit 53 acquires attachment/detachment information indicating that the feeder 8 has been manually removed from the feeder storage device 96 from the control unit of the automatic changer 1 .

When it is determined that the feeder 8 has been removed by the automatic exchange device 1, the association maintaining unit 54 disables the function of the association discarding unit 52 and maintains the association data 55 before a predetermined condition is established. For example, the association maintaining unit 54 may stop the association discarding unit 52 or may control the function of the association discarding unit 52 to be ignored. Further, the correspondence maintaining unit 54 continues to invalidate the function of the correspondence discarding unit 52 while the feeder 8 is managed by the automatic exchange device 1 . Further, the association maintaining unit 54 restores the function of the association discarding unit 52 when the feeder 8 is removed from the management of the automatic changer 1, in other words, when the feeder 8 is manually removed from the feeder storage device 96. Let

4. Operation and Action of Component Kind Management Device 5 of Embodiment Next, the operation and action of the component kind management device 5 of the embodiment will be described. The operation flow shown in FIG. 3 is started when the component mounting system 9 starts production of the board product or changes the type of the board product, and is repeatedly executed during production. This operation flow is advanced by the joint control of the component type management device 5 and the controllers of the component mounting machines (93, 94, 95), and is partially advanced by the operator's setup work.

At step S1 in FIG. 3, the operator makes arrangements for the types of parts required for the board product to be produced. That is, the operator loads the required reels into the feeder 8 . At this time, by operating the bar code reader 58 described above, the individual identification information of the feeder 8 is associated with the information on the type of components held in the feeder 8, and the association data 55 is created. The correspondence registration unit 51 registers the correspondence data 55 in the memory 57 . When reels of all kinds of necessary parts are loaded in the feeder 8 and all the correspondence data 55 are registered, the operation flow proceeds to step S2.

In step S2, the operator attaches the prepared feeder 8 to the component mounters (93, 94, 95). This completes the setup change work. In the next step S3, the component mounting machines (93, 94, 95) start mounting work. The operation flow after this step S4 proceeds in parallel with the mounting work. As the mounting work progresses, it is determined in step S4 whether or not the feeder 8 needs to be replaced. In other words, it is determined whether or not there is a feeder 8 that has run out of components or a feeder 8 that no longer needs to supply components.

In step S5 when the feeder 8 needs to be replaced, the automatic replacement of the feeder 8 by the automatic replacement device 1 is performed. After that, the automatic changer 1 manages the removed feeder 8 . At this time, the removal determining section 53 can determine that the feeder 8 has been removed by the automatic changer 1 . Therefore, the association maintaining unit 54 immediately disables the function of the association discarding unit 52 . Thereby, the correspondence data 55 of the removed feeder 8 is maintained.

If the feeder 8 does not need to be replaced in step S4, and after step S5 ends, the operational flow joins in step S6. In step S6, the removal determining unit 53 determines whether or not the feeder 8 has been manually removed. Manual removal can occur at three locations: parts supply 9A, spare feeder storage 9B, and feeder storage 96. In step S7 when manual removal is performed, the association discarding unit 52 starts a timer to start measuring the elapsed time TX after removal.

If manual removal has not occurred in step S6, and after step S7 is completed, the operational flow merges in step S8. In step S8, the association discarding unit 52 determines whether or not the elapsed time TX has reached the predetermined time T0. In the first step S8, the elapsed time TX has not reached the predetermined time T0, and the execution of the operation flow proceeds to step S9.

In step S9, the association discarding unit 52 determines whether or not the feeder 8 is manually attached. If manual attachment has not been performed, execution of the operational flow returns to step S4 with the timer running. Thereafter, a loop from step S4 to step S9 is repeatedly executed.

If the manual attachment of the feeder 8 is performed in the repetition of the loop, execution of the operation flow proceeds from step S9 to step S10. In step S10, the association discarding unit 52 resets and stops the timer, and returns the operation flow to step S4. This means that even if the feeder 8 is manually removed, the association data 55 is maintained because the feeder 8 is reattached in a short period of time within the predetermined time T0.

Further, when the elapsed time TX reaches the predetermined time T0 during the repetition of the loop, execution of the operation flow branches from step S8 to step S21. In step S<b>21 , the association discarding unit 52 discards the association data 55 of the removed feeder 8 . In the next step S22, the association discarding unit 52 resets and stops the timer, and returns the operation flow to step S1. This means that the correspondence data 55 has been discarded because there is a possibility that the type of component (reel) has been replaced after the predetermined time T0 has elapsed after the feeder 8 was manually removed.

Regarding the feeder 8 whose correspondence data 55 has been discarded, the correspondence registration unit 51 re-registers the correspondence data 55 in step S1 regardless of whether or not the part type (reel) has actually been replaced. Later, reattachment will be performed in step S2. Also, there may be a case where a plurality of feeders 8 are removed manually. In this case, a separate timer is provided for each removed feeder 8, and management of the association data 55 is performed using the individual elapsed time TX.

In the component type management device 5 of the embodiment, the removal determination unit 53 determines whether or not the feeder 8 has been removed by the automatic changer 1, and if the feeder 8 has been automatically removed, the association maintenance unit 54 It functions to maintain association data 55 . Therefore, the operator does not need to re-register the association data 55, and there is no risk of error. Further, when the feeder 8 is manually removed, the association discarding unit 52 functions to discard the association data 55 after the predetermined time T0 has passed. For this reason, there is no risk of an error caused by continuing to maintain the correspondence data 55 against the possibility that the type (reel) of the component held in the feeder 8 is changed. Therefore, the parts type management device 5 functions properly for both automatic and manual replacement of the feeder 8, and can properly manage the types of parts held in the feeder 8. FIG.

5. Applications and Modifications of the Embodiments The component type management device 5 may be implemented using a computer device other than the line management device 97 . Also, one of the spare feeder storage unit 9B and the feeder storage device 96 described in the embodiment may be omitted. Also, the component mounting system 9 may be used in combination with an old-type component mounting machine that allows only manual replacement of the feeder 8 .

Furthermore, the component type management device 5 and the automatic exchange device 1 may be provided in common for a plurality of component mounting systems 9 . For example, the automatic exchange apparatus 1 may employ a configuration including a track leading from the feeder storage device 96 to the plurality of component mounting systems 9 and an automatic guided vehicle running on the track with the feeder 8 mounted thereon. The component type management device 5 can manage all feeders 8 used in a plurality of component mounting systems 9 . Various other applications and modifications are possible for this embodiment.
