In FIG. 2, a sprocket 45 is provided at the front upper part of the main body 41. As shown in FIG. The sprocket 45 has a large number of feed pins on its outer periphery, and is intermittently rotationally driven by a sprocket drive motor (not shown).

A tape pressing member 46 is attached above the sprocket 45 to cover a portion of the upper surface of the main body portion 41 from above. The space between the tape pressing member 46 and the upper surface of the main body portion 41 covered by the tape pressing member 46 constitutes a part of the tape passage 42 . The tape pressing member 46 is provided with the above-mentioned component ejection port 22K.

In FIG. 2, a protrusion 47 that protrudes forward is attached to the front end of the main body 41. As shown in FIG. A fixing hook 48 is provided at the rear of the lower surface of the main body 41 of the tape feeder 22 (see also FIG. 1).

When attaching the tape feeder 22 to the feeder base 31, the engaging portion 44 on the lower surface of the main body portion 41 is inserted into one of the plurality of slots 33 provided in the feeder base 31. Specifically, after the front end of the engaging portion 44 is inserted through the slot entrance 33K at the rear end of the slot 33, the entire tape feeder 22 is slid forward.

When the tape feeder 22 is slid forward, the front end of the tape feeder 22 comes into contact with the rear surface of the positioning wall 34. At this time, the protrusion 47 provided at the front end of the main body portion 41 fits into the positioning hole 34H of the positioning wall 34 from the rear. As a result, the tape feeder 22 is positioned relative to the feeder base 31. When the tape feeder 22 is positioned with respect to the feeder base 31, the fixing hook 48 is caught on the locking rod 37 of the feeder base 31, and the tape feeder 22 is fixed to the feeder base 31.

Each tape feeder 22 mounted on the feeder base 31 transports the carrier tape 23 pulled out from the corresponding reel 24 and inserted into the tape entrance 43 toward the front. At this time, the tape feeder 22 engages a feed pin of a sprocket 45 with a feed hole (not shown) provided in the carrier tape 23 and rotates intermittently, thereby pitch-feeding the carrier tape 23 forward. As a result, the components BH enclosed in the carrier tape 23 are sequentially located at the component extraction port 22K, and the components BH are supplied to the component extraction port 22K. The carrier tape 23 that has supplied the component BH to the component ejection port 22K and passed through the tape pressing member 46 is discharged from the front end of the main body portion 41 through the tape discharge path 36 (FIG. 1).

In FIG. 1, the head moving mechanism 14 is composed of, for example, a Cartesian coordinate robot, and moves the mounting head 15 within a horizontal plane. A plurality of nozzles 15a are attached to the mounting head 15, each facing downward. Each nozzle 15a can move in the vertical direction (referred to as the Z-axis direction) and rotate around the Z-axis with respect to the mounting head 15. The mounting head 15 adsorbs and picks up the component BH by bringing the lower end of the nozzle 15a close to the component BH from above and sucking the component BH supplied to the component extraction port 22K by the tape feeder 22.

In FIG. 1, the component camera 16 is attached to the base 11 with its imaging field of view facing upward. The component camera 16 images the component BH picked up by the nozzle 15a.

The operation of each part of the component mounting apparatus 1 is controlled by a control device 50 (FIG. 1) included in the component mounting apparatus 1. The control device 50 stores in advance a mounting program that determines which tape feeder 22 to pick up the component BH and mount it at which position on the board KB at which timing. The control device 50 performs the work of mounting the component BH onto the board KB (component mounting work) by operating each part based on the mounting program. A display device 51 is connected to the control device 50, and the control device 50 issues instructions to the worker OP through the display device 51, and continues to execute the work while understanding the actions taken by the worker OP in response to the instructions. .

When performing component mounting work, the control device 50 first operates the board transport section 12 to carry in the board KB sent from the upstream process side, and positions the board KB at a predetermined work position. When the board KB is positioned at the working position, each tape feeder 22 is operated to supply the component BH to the component ejection port 22K of each tape feeder 22, and the mounting head 15 is operated to supply the component BH to the component ejecting port 22K of each tape feeder 22. Part BH is picked up by nozzle 15a.

After the mounting head 15 picks up the component BH, the mounting head 15 is moved above the component camera 16. Then, the control device 50 causes the component camera 16 to image the component BH held by the nozzle 15a. The control device 50 detects the position of the component BH from the image captured by the component camera 16, and controls the head moving mechanism 14 using the detection result. As a result, the component BH held by the nozzle 15a is positioned at the target position on the board KB. When the component BH is positioned at the target position on the board KB, the mounting head 15 is raised and lowered to mount the component BH onto the board KB.

The control device 50 repeatedly performs the mounting operation of the component BH onto the board KB, and when the mounting work of the component BH onto the board KB is completed, the control device 50 operates the board transfer unit 12 to move the board KB to the downstream process side. to be carried out. This completes the component mounting operation for each board KB.

In the first embodiment, the component mounting apparatus 1 having such a configuration has a configuration that can prevent the operator OP from mounting the tape feeder 22 at the wrong position on the feeder base 31. The explanation will be given below.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a plurality of block members 60 are provided on the feeder base 31. As shown in FIGS. These plurality of block members 60 are provided corresponding to each of the plurality of slots 33, and each block member 60 is provided at a position near the slot entrance 33K of the corresponding slot 33. As shown in FIGS. 5(a), (b) and 6(a), (b), each block member 60 has a columnar shape with a substantially quadrant-shaped cross section and extending in the X-axis direction. The vicinity of the apex angle of the quadrant is pivotally supported by a swing shaft 61 extending in the X-axis direction within the feeder base 31.

3 and 4, the feeder base 31 is provided with a plurality of cylinders 62 that actuate each of the plurality of block members 60 individually. Each cylinder 62 has a piston rod 62R with its tip facing forward, and is located at the rear of the corresponding block member 60. As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B and FIGS. 6A and 6B, each cylinder 62 has a trunnion portion 62T at the rear end of the cylinder tube pivotally connected to the feeder base 31. As shown in FIGS. The tip of the piston rod 62R of each cylinder 62 is pivotally connected to the block member 60.

Each cylinder 62 is operated under the control of the control device 50 to push and pull the piston rod 62R in the Y-axis direction. When the cylinder 62 pushes and pulls the piston rod 62R, the block member 60 connected to the piston rod 62R swings around the swing shaft 61 and reaches the "blocking position" (FIGS. 5(a) and 6(a)). , and the "permissible position" (FIGS. 5(b) and 6(b)). Here, the "blocking position" is a position where the block member 60 protrudes above the feeder base 31 and extends into the insertion path 33S in the slot 33, and the "allowing position" is a position where the block member 60 is inside the feeder base 31. This is the position where the insertion path 33S is retracted from the insertion path 33S. Further, the “insertion path 33S” refers to the path of the engaging portion 44 of the tape feeder 22 when the engaging portion 44 slides within the slot 33.

In the blocking position, the block member 60 interferes with the engaging portion 44 of the tape feeder 22 inserted from the slot entrance 33K, and prevents the engaging portion 44 from being inserted into the slot 33. On the other hand, when the block member 60 is in the allowable position, it does not interfere with the engaging portion 44 of the tape feeder 22 inserted from the slot entrance 33K, and allows the engaging portion 44 to be inserted into the slot 33.

As described above, in the first embodiment, the plurality of block members 60 provided corresponding to the plurality of slots 33 are located at the blocking position where the tape feeder 22 is prevented from being inserted into the corresponding slot 33. The tape feeder 22 is provided with a plurality of switching members whose positions can be freely switched between a permissible position that allows the tape feeder 22 to be inserted into the slot 33 in which the tape feeder 22 is inserted. Further, the control device 50 serves as a switching control unit that individually controls switching of the positions of each of the plurality of block members 60.

5(a), (b) and FIG. 6(a), (b), the surface facing rear with each block member 60 located in the blocking position shows that the engaging portion 44 of the tape feeder 22 is located at the slot entrance. When inserted from 33K, the leading end (front end) of the engaging portion 44 is the abutting surface 71 that comes into contact. A lamp LP that is turned on under the control of the control device 50 is provided on the contact surface 71 . In this first embodiment, the lamp LP can selectively light two different colors, and when the block member 60 is located at the blocking position, it is controlled to light one color (for example, red), and the block member 60 is controlled to light one color (for example, red). When it is located at the permissible position, it is controlled to light up another color (for example, green).

The contact surface 71 is visible from the outside whether the block member 60 is in the "blocking position" or in the "allowing position". Therefore, the lamp LP is always visible from the outside except when the tape feeder 22 is installed in the slot 33.

When the tape feeder 22 is not installed in the slot 33, the control device 50 positions the block member 60 corresponding to the slot 33 at the blocking position. When it is detected that it is necessary to install the tape feeder 22 in a specific slot 33 when changing the model of a production board, etc., the position on the feeder base 31 corresponding to that specific slot 33 is determined. The indicated slot number is displayed on the display device 51, and the position of the block member 60 corresponding to the specific slot 33 is switched from the blocking position to the allowing position.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, when the control device 50 detects that the tape feeder 22 needs to be installed in the second slot 33 from the right on the feeder base 31, the control device 50 The slot number of the second slot 33 from the right on the base 31 is displayed on the display device 51, and the block member 60 corresponding to that slot 33 is switched from the blocking position to the allowing position.

When the block member 60 corresponding to a specific slot 33 is switched from the blocking position to the allowing position, only insertion of the tape feeder 22 into the specific slot 33 is permitted. Therefore, the operator OP cannot insert the tape feeder 22 into slots 33 other than the specific slot 33, and can only insert the tape feeder 22 into the specific slot 33.

In this way, in the first embodiment, the control device 50 individually controls the switching of the positions of the plurality of block members 60, and selects only the specific slot 33 in which the tape feeder 22 needs to be installed. Make it ready for insertion. In this state, the operator OP cannot install the tape feeder 22 in any slot 33 other than the slot 33 in the correct position where the tape feeder 22 should be installed, and as a result, the tape feeder 22 cannot be installed in the correct position without any error. It is installed in the slot 33.

When the block member 60 is moved from the blocking position to the allowable position, the control device 50 changes the lighting color of the lamp LP of the block member 60 from one color (here, red) to another color (here, green). Switch to For this reason, the operator OP searches for a slot 33 whose lamp LP at the slot entrance 33K is lit green, instead of a slot 33 whose lamp LP at the slot entrance 33K is lit green, and inserts the tape feeder 22 into that slot 33. This allows the tape feeder 22 to be installed in the slot 33 at the correct position.

As described above, in the first embodiment, the plurality of lamps LP provided in each of the plurality of slots 33 (in detail, each of the plurality of block members 60) are arranged in a state where each of the plurality of block members 60 is located at the blocking position. It is designed to indicate whether it is in the permissible position or not by the lighting state. Therefore, the operator OP only has to insert the tape feeder 22 into the slot 33 based on the lighting state of the lamp LP (the color of the lamp LP), and from this perspective, the tape feeder 22 can be inserted into the slot 33 at the correct position. can do.

(Embodiment 2)
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in FIGS. 7(a), (b) and 8(a), (b), the component mounting apparatus 1 in the second embodiment has a plurality of block members 60 in place of the plurality of block members 60 in the first embodiment. It is provided with a plurality of plate members 80 arranged corresponding to the slots 33, respectively. Each plate member 80 has a rectangular flat plate shape, and one end in the lateral direction is attached to a rotation shaft 81 that extends in the vertical direction and is supported by the feeder base 31. The rotation shaft 81 is provided at a position closer to one side of two adjacent slot forming blocks 32 forming the slot 33, and is rotatable around the axis 81J. A worm wheel 81G is attached to the lower end of the rotation shaft 81.

7(a), (b) and FIG. 8(a), (b), the feeder base 31 is provided with a plurality of motors 82 corresponding to the plurality of plate members 80, respectively. A worm 82G is attached to the drive shaft of each of the plurality of motors 82, and each worm 82G meshes with a worm wheel 81G at the lower end of the rotation shaft 81 of the corresponding plate member 80.

Each motor 82 is operated under the control of the control device 50 to rotate the worm 82G around the Y axis. When the motor 82 rotates the worm 82G in one direction or the opposite direction, the worm wheel 81G meshed with the worm 82G rotates in a direction corresponding to the direction of rotation of the worm 82G. As a result, the plate member 80 integrated with the rotating shaft 81 swings around the axis 81J in a direction corresponding to the rotational direction of the worm 82G, and reaches the "blocking position" (FIGS. 7(a) and 8(a)). and the "permissible position" (FIGS. 7(b) and 8(b)). Here, the "blocking position" is a position where the feeder base 31 comes into contact with the stopper 31P provided on the upper surface of the feeder base 31 from the rear and extends into the insertion path 33S in a posture substantially orthogonal to the insertion path 33S of the tape feeder 22. Yes, and the "permissible position" is a position in which the device takes a posture parallel to the insertion path 33S and retreats from the insertion path 33S.

When the plate member 80 is in the blocking position, it interferes with the engaging portion 44 of the tape feeder 22 inserted from the slot entrance 33K, and prevents the engaging portion 44 from being inserted into the slot 33. On the other hand, when the plate member 80 is in the allowable position, it does not interfere with the engaging portion 44 of the tape feeder 22 inserted from the slot entrance 33K, and allows the engaging portion 44 to be inserted into the slot.

As described above, in the second embodiment, the plurality of plate members 80 provided corresponding to the plurality of slots 33 each have a corresponding blocking position for preventing the tape feeder 22 from being inserted into the corresponding slot 33. The tape feeder 22 is provided with a plurality of switching members whose positions can be freely switched between a permissible position that allows the tape feeder 22 to be inserted into the slot 33 in which the tape feeder 22 is inserted. Further, the control device 50 serves as a switching control unit that individually controls switching of the positions of each of the plurality of plate members 80.

7(a), (b) and FIG. 8(a), (b), the surface facing rear with each plate member 80 located in the blocking position shows that the engaging portion 44 of the tape feeder 22 is at the slot entrance. When inserted from 33K, the leading end (front end) of the engaging portion 44 is the abutting surface 91 that comes into contact. A lamp LP that is turned on under the control of the control device 50 is provided on the contact surface 91 . Here, the lamp LP is controlled to illuminate one color (for example, red) at least when the plate member 80 is located in the blocking position.

The contact surface 91 is visible from the outside when the plate member 80 is in the blocking position, but is not visible from the outside when the plate member 80 is in the "allowing position". Therefore, the lamp LP is visible from the outside only when the plate member 80 is located in the "blocking position".

When the tape feeder 22 is not installed in the slot 33, the control device 50 positions the plate member 80 corresponding to the slot 33 at the blocking position. When it is detected that it is necessary to install the tape feeder 22 in a specific slot 33 when changing the model of a production board, etc., the position on the feeder base 31 corresponding to the specific slot 33 is indicated. The slot number is displayed on the display device 51, and the position of the plate member 80 corresponding to that specific slot 33 is switched from the blocking position to the allowing position.

When the plate member 80 corresponding to a specific slot 33 is switched from the blocking position to the allowing position, only insertion of the tape feeder 22 into the specific slot 33 is permitted. Therefore, the operator OP cannot insert the tape feeder 22 into slots 33 other than the specific slot 33, and can only insert the tape feeder 22 into the specific slot 33.

As described above, in the second embodiment, the control device 50 individually controls the switching of the positions of the plurality of plate members 80, and selects only the specific slot 33 in which the tape feeder 22 needs to be installed. Make it ready for insertion. In this state, the operator OP cannot install the tape feeder 22 in any slot 33 other than the slot 33 in the correct position where the tape feeder 22 should be installed, and as a result, the tape feeder 22 cannot be installed in the correct position without any errors. It is installed in the slot 33.

When the control device 50 moves the plate member 80 from the blocking position to the allowable position, the lamp LP (lit light) of the plate member 80 changes from being visible from the outside to being invisible. Therefore, the operator OP should search for a slot 33 where the lamp LP at the slot entrance 33K is not lit, instead of the slot 33 where the lamp LP at the slot entrance 33K is lit, and insert the tape feeder 22 into that slot 33. This allows the tape feeder 22 to be installed in the slot 33 at the correct position.

As described above, in the second embodiment, the plurality of lamps LP provided in each of the plurality of slots 33 (in detail, each of the plurality of plate members 80) are arranged in a state where each of the plurality of plate members 80 is located at the blocking position. It is designed to indicate whether it is in the permissible position or not by the lighting state. Therefore, the operator OP only has to insert the tape feeder 22 into the slot 33 based on the lighting state of the lamp LP (the color of the lamp LP), and from this perspective, the tape feeder 22 can be inserted into the slot 33 at the correct position. can do.

As described above, the component mounting apparatus 1 in the first and second embodiments includes a blocking position that is provided corresponding to each of the plurality of slots 33 and that prevents the tape feeder 22 from being inserted into the slot 33. A plurality of switching members (block members 60 or plate members 80) whose positions can be switched between an allowable position that allows insertion of the tape feeder 22 into the slot 33 are provided. Therefore, by individually controlling the switching positions of these plural switching members by the control device 50, insertion of the tape feeder 22 into slots 33 other than the slot 33 in which the tape feeder 22 needs to be installed can be prevented. This makes it possible to prevent the operator OP from mounting the tape feeder 22 in the wrong position (wrong slot 33) on the feeder base 31.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described so far, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and the like are possible. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the tape feeder 22 is illustrated as the parts feeder that supplies the parts BH, but the parts feeder is not limited to the tape feeder 22, and may be a bulk feeder, a stick feeder, or the like. Further, the plurality of switching members provided corresponding to each of the plurality of slots 33 have a blocking position where the parts feeder is prevented from being inserted into the slot 33 and a permission position where the parts feeder is allowed to be inserted into the slot 33. It is sufficient if the position can be freely switched between the positions. Therefore, the switching member is not necessarily limited to the block member 60 or the plate member 80 as described above, and various forms can be adopted.
