(Embodiment)
First, a schematic configuration of the tape cutting device 1 of this embodiment will be described.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a schematic configuration of a tape cutting device 1 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which the tape cutting device 1 is partially removed. Hereinafter, in the figures, the X direction and the Y direction are directions perpendicular to each other within a horizontal plane, and the Z direction is a height direction (vertical direction) perpendicular to the X direction and the Y direction.

As shown in FIG. 1 or 2, the tape cutting device 1 includes a housing 10, a cutting unit 30 that cuts the tape 3 (FIG. 3), and a holding unit 50 that holds the tape 3 to be cut. The tape cutting device 1 of this embodiment is used, for example, to process the ends of the tape 3 to be refilled in a tape feeder disclosed in Patent Document 2.

The housing 10 constitutes the outer surface of the tape cutting device 1. The housing 10 is, for example, a cover that covers the cutting unit 30. The cutting unit 30 (cutting blade 31 in FIG. 7) is provided inside the housing 10 so as not to come into contact with a part of the worker's body. The cutting unit 30 of this embodiment is fixedly arranged with respect to the housing 10. The holding unit 50 is accommodated in a slidable manner relative to the housing 10 (cutting unit 30). The holding unit 50 of this embodiment is housed in a slidable manner relative to the housing 10 in a predetermined linear direction (X direction).

When the holding unit 50 is housed in the housing 10 (FIG. 2), a space 12 (FIG. 1) in which the tape 3 is placed is formed between the housing 10 and the holding unit 50. The space 12 in this embodiment is formed by penetrating the tape cutting device 1 in the Y direction. Specifically, the space 12 is formed between the housing 10 and the holding unit 50 housed in the housing 10.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state in which the holding unit 50 is opened with respect to the housing 10. The holding unit 50 is configured to be slidable between a closed position P1 (FIG. 2) with respect to the housing 10 and a position P2 (FIG. 3) open with respect to the housing 10. The holding unit 50 holds the tape 3 by coming into contact with the tape 3. In the state shown in FIG. 3 (open position), the upper part of the holding unit 50 is open so that the tape 3 can be set in the holding unit 50 from above. The tape 3 is held by the holding unit 50 and moved to the state shown in FIG. 2 (closed position), and the cutting unit 30 cuts the tape.

As shown in FIG. 3, the tape 3 includes a carrier tape 5 in which a component pocket 4 for storing components is formed, and a cover tape 6 that covers the component pocket 4. The carrier tape 5 and cover tape 6 of this embodiment are formed in a band shape.

For example, the cover tape 6 is attached to the carrier tape 5 to cover an opening formed in the component pocket 4 for inserting a component. The component pockets 4 are formed in the carrier tape 5 at predetermined intervals in the direction in which the tape 3 extends.

In this embodiment, the tape cutting device 1 cuts only the carrier tape 5 with the cover tape 6 remaining. That is, the tape cutting device 1 cuts only the carrier tape 5 in the tape 3 without cutting the cover tape 6. Furthermore, the carrier tape 5 after cutting the leading end of the tape 3 (that is, the cut end of the carrier tape 5) is removed from the tape 3, so that the cover tape 6 extends beyond the carrier tape 5 at the end of the tape 3. In this manner, the end portion of the tape 3 is processed. Specifically, at the longitudinal ends of the tape 3, the carrier tape 5 is shorter than the cover tape 6, and the tape 3 is not uniform in the thickness direction but stepped.

Next, the configuration of the holding unit 50 will be explained in detail.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the holding unit 50 of this embodiment is configured to be slidable relative to the housing 10 by a holding unit moving mechanism 52. As shown in FIGS. The holding unit moving mechanism 52 of this embodiment is a rail mechanism. The holding unit moving mechanism 52 has a guide rail that supports the holding unit 50 in a slidable manner (in the X direction).

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a schematic configuration of the holding unit 50. FIG. 5 is a side view showing a schematic configuration of the holding unit 50. FIG. 6 is a plan view showing a schematic configuration of the holding unit 50.

As shown in FIG. 4, the holding unit 50 includes a first member 55 and a second member 56 that hold the tape 3. The first member 55 and the second member 56 are provided at both ends of the tape 3 in the width direction (X direction). A space for arranging the tape 3 is formed between the first member 55 and the second member 56. The first member 55 and the second member 56 restrict movement of the tape 3 in the width direction. The first member 55 contacts the tape 3 at one end of the tape 3 in the width direction (the end on the -X direction side), and the second member 56 contacts the tape 3 at the other end of the tape 3 in the width direction (the end on the +X direction side). ) comes into contact with the tape 3.

The first member 55 and the second member 56 are attached to the base 53 of the holding unit 50 and slide together with the base 53. The base 53 is connected to be slidably movable along the holding unit moving mechanism 52. The base 53 is, for example, a plate-like member that extends in the horizontal direction. An opening 57 is formed in the center of the base 53, through which the cutting blade 31 (FIG. 7) of the cutting unit 30 passes. In this embodiment, the first member 55 and the second member 56 are provided at both ends of the opening 57 in the Y direction.

As shown in FIG. 5, the first member 55 and the second member 56 of this embodiment are provided so that their mutual spacing can be adjusted by an adjustment mechanism 58. The adjustment mechanism 58 of this embodiment is an elastic member (eg, a spring, etc.) that biases the first member 55 and the second member 56 in a direction toward each other. The first member 55 is fixed to the base 53, and the second member 56 is attached to the base 53 so as to be movable relative to the first member 55. An adjustment mechanism 58 is provided in the second member 56, and the adjustment mechanism 58 moves the second member 56 in a direction closer to the first member 55. Thereby, the interval between the first member 55 and the second member 56 is adjusted.

The first member 55 and the second member 56 each have a first surface 59 and a second surface 60. The first surface 59 supports the lower surface S1 of the end portion of the tape 3 in the width direction. This restricts the tape 3 from moving downward (in the -Z direction). The second surface 60 contacts the side surface S2 of the tape 3. In this embodiment, the tape 3 is held between the second surfaces 60 of the first member 55 and the second member 56. Specifically, the second surface 60 of the first member 55 abuts one side surface S2 of the tape 3 and the second surface 60 of the second member 56 abuts the other side surface S2 of the tape 3, so that the tape Hold 3. This restricts movement of the tape 3 in the width direction (X direction).

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a pin-shaped member 61 is provided on at least one of the first member 55 and the second member 56 (the first member 55 in this embodiment). The pin-shaped member 61 restricts horizontal movement of the tape 3 in the Y direction (the direction in which the tape 3 extends). In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the pin-like member 61 is inserted into a through hole (tape feed hole 7) penetrating the tape 3 in the thickness direction, thereby regulating the horizontal movement of the tape 3. . A plurality of pin-like members 61 may be provided at intervals of the tape feed holes 7 in the direction in which the tape 3 extends. The pin-shaped member 61 is formed to extend upward from the first surface 59 that supports the tape 3 .

A claw portion 62 (regulating member) is provided on at least one of the first member 55 and the second member 56 (both in this embodiment). The claw portion 62 restricts the tape 3 from moving upward (+Z direction). The claw portion 62 is provided so as to cover at least a portion of the upper surface S3 of the widthwise end portion of the tape 3. Specifically, the ends of the claw portions 62 are formed to extend toward the center of the tape 3 from both ends in the width direction of the tape 3 held by the first member 55 and the second member 56 . For example, the claw portion 62 is a plate-like member that extends horizontally above the first surface 59.

Here, an example of the operation of setting the tape 3 in the holding unit 50 will be described. The adjustment mechanism 58 widens the distance between the first member 55 and the second member 56 (for example, to make it larger than the width of the tape 3), and the pin-shaped member 61 is inserted into the tape feed hole 7 of the tape 3. At this time, one end in the width direction of the tape 3 (the end on the side where the tape feed hole 7 is provided) is arranged in the space between the first surface 59 of the first member 55 and the claw part 62. Further, the other end in the width direction of the tape 3 is arranged in the space between the first surface 59 of the second member 56 and the claw part 62, and the distance between the first member 55 and the second member 56 is adjusted by the adjustment mechanism 58. The second surface 60 of the first member 55 and the second member 56 is brought into contact with the side surface of the tape 3.

The tape 3 is restricted from moving in the Y direction by the pin-like member 61, from moving in the X direction by the second surface 60, from moving in the +Z direction by the claw portion 62, and from moving in the +Z direction by the first surface 59. Movement in the -Z direction is restricted by. In this way, the tape 3 is held by the holding unit 50.

Next, the cutting unit 30 will be explained in detail.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a schematic configuration of the cutting unit 30. 8 to 10 are side views showing a schematic configuration of the cutting unit 30. FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 7 to 10, the cutting unit 30 includes a cutting blade 31 that cuts the tape 3, and a cutting blade receiving part 32 that is provided vertically facing the cutting blade 31. The cutting blade receiver 32 is arranged so that the tape 3 is positioned between the cutting blade 31 and the cutting blade 31 when cutting the tape. Specifically, the cutting blade receiving part 32 is arranged above the cutting blade 31. The cutting blade 31 and the cutting blade receiving part 32 are configured such that the relative position of the cutting blade 31 with respect to the cutting blade receiving part 32 can be changed by the drive mechanism 40. In this embodiment, the cutting blade receiving part 32 is fixedly arranged with respect to the frame 44, and the relative position is changed by moving the cutting blade 31 in the vertical direction with respect to the cutting blade receiving part 32. Ru.

The cutting blade 31 of this embodiment includes a first cutting blade 31a (FIG. 8) and a second cutting blade 31b (FIG. 9). The first cutting blade 31a cuts the carrier tape 5. Specifically, the first cutting blade 31a cuts the carrier tape 5 in the width direction, and divides the carrier tape 5 with the cover tape 6 remaining. The second cutting blade 31b cuts the carrier tape 5 and the cover tape 6 in the width direction. The second cutting blade 31b is arranged at a distance from the first cutting blade 31a in the direction in which the tape 3 extends (Y direction). The first cutting blade 31a and the second cutting blade 31b are formed to extend in the width direction (X direction) intersecting the direction in which the tape 3 extends.

When the tape 3 is pulled out from the cutting unit 30 in the W1 direction in FIG. 14, which will be described later, the cut end of the carrier tape 5 comes into contact with the first cutting blade 31 and is separated from the tape 3. In this embodiment, the cut ends of the carrier tape 5 are removed from the tape 3 by the first cutting blade 31a. As a result, only the cover tape 6 remains at the end of the tape 3.

The tape 3 is pulled out from the cutting unit 30 (separation of the carrier tape 5 at the end of the tape 3) while the holding unit 50 is housed in the housing 10. Specifically, the tape 3 is pulled out in the Y direction through the space 12 (FIG. 1) formed between the housing 10 and the holding unit 50. At this time, the cutting blade 31 and the cutting blade receiving part 32 are covered by the housing 10 so that a part of the worker's body does not come into contact with the cutting blade 31 and the cutting blade receiving part 32.

The cutting blade 31 is fixed to a fixed member 33. The fixing member 33 is, for example, a plate-like member extending in the vertical direction. As shown in FIG. 10, the first cutting blade 31a is attached to one side (-Y direction side) of the fixed member 33, and the second cutting blade 31b is attached to the other side (+Y direction side) of the fixed member 33. Attached to the side. The second cutting blade 31b of this embodiment is fixed to the fixing member 33 such that the upper end of the second cutting blade 31b is located at a higher position than the upper end of the first cutting blade 31a. Thereby, when the drive mechanism 40 is driven, both the carrier tape 5 and the cover tape 6 can be cut by the second cutting blade 31b, and only the carrier tape 5 can be cut by the first cutting blade 31a. Further, the upper end portion (blade edge) of the second cutting blade 31b is formed to be inclined with respect to the thickness direction of the tape 3. Thereby, when cutting the tape 3 by sandwiching it between the second cutting blade 31b and the cutting blade receiving part 32, the tape 3 can be cut more easily.

A first cutting blade receiving portion 32a and a fixed blade 32b are provided corresponding to the first cutting blade 31a and the second cutting blade 31b. The first cutting blade receiving part 32a is arranged above the first cutting blade 31a, and comes into contact with the upper surface of the tape 3 (cover tape 6) when the carrier tape 5 is cut. The fixed blade 32b is formed into a blade shape above the second cutting blade 31b.

11 to 13 are side views showing the schematic configuration of the cutting blade 31 and the cutting blade receiving part 32. FIG. FIG. 14 is a side view showing a state in which the carrier tape 5 is removed from the tape 3. Note that in FIGS. 11 to 14, some dimensions are exaggerated for convenience of explanation.

As shown in FIGS. 11 to 14, the cutting unit 30 includes an attitude changing member 37 that changes the attitude of the carrier tape 5 to be removed by the first cutting blade 31a. The attitude changing member 37 changes the direction in which the carrier tape 5 extends. Specifically, the attitude changing member 37 changes the attitude of the carrier tape 5 so that the direction in which the carrier tape 5 extends is inclined with respect to the XY plane. In this embodiment, the attitude changing member 37 changes its attitude so that the direction in which the carrier tape 5 extends is inclined upward with respect to the XY plane.

The attitude changing member 37 is attached to one side (on the second cutting blade 31b side) of the fixed member 33. The attitude changing member 37 is, for example, a plate-like member that extends in the vertical direction. The upper end portion of the attitude changing member 37 is formed to extend in the width direction of the tape 3 (X direction). Thereby, the attitude of the carrier tape 5 can be changed more easily.

Further, the upper end portion of the attitude changing member 37 is arranged between the first cutting blade 31a and the second cutting blade 31b in the direction in which the tape 3 extends (Y direction). In this embodiment, the upper end portion of the attitude changing member 37 is formed to extend toward the first cutting blade receiving portion 32a side. Thereby, the direction in which the cut end of the carrier tape 5 extends can be tilted more greatly with respect to the XY plane by the posture changing member 37. By tilting the extending direction of the cut end of the carrier tape 5 with respect to the XY plane, the direction in which the cut end of the carrier tape 5 extends can be made different from the drawing direction W1 of the tape 3. The tape 3 is drawn out with the drawing direction W1 of the tape 3 being inclined with respect to the adhesive surfaces of the carrier tape 5 and the cover tape 6. Thereby, the carrier tape 5 can be more easily removed from the tape 3 by the first cutting blade 31a.

As shown in FIG. 13, the attitude changing member 37 pulls out the tape 3 from the cutting unit 30 in the drawing direction W1 (FIG. 14) with the extending direction of the carrier tape 5 inclined with respect to the XY plane. The tape 5 comes into contact with the first cutting blade 31a. As a result, the carrier tape 5 is removed from the tape 3, as shown in FIG. The drawing direction W1 of the tape 3 in this embodiment is a direction inclined upward with respect to the XY plane. By tilting the drawing direction W1 of the tape 3, the tape feed hole 7 is removed from the pin-shaped member 61. Thereafter, the carrier tape 5 can be more easily removed from the tape 3 by pulling out the tape 3 in the drawing direction W1 while the carrier tape 5 is in contact with the first cutting blade 31a.

Next, the configuration of the drive mechanism 40 will be explained in detail.

The drive mechanism 40 sets the relative position of the cutting blade 31 with respect to the cutting blade receiver 32 into a first relative position R1 (FIG. 10), a second relative position R2 (FIG. 12), and a third relative position R3 (FIG. 13). The first relative position R1 is a relative position when the tape 3 to be cut is placed between the cutting blade 31 and the cutting blade receiving part 32 (the relative position before driving the drive cylinder 41, which will be described later). Specifically, the first relative position R1 is a position where the cutting blade 31 is retracted from the cutting blade receiving portion 32. The second relative position R2 is a relative position when the carrier tape 5 is cut by the first cutting blade 31a. The third relative position R3 is a relative position where the first cutting blade 31a is further away from the first cutting blade receiving portion 32a than the second relative position R2. Specifically, the distance D3 (FIG. 13) between the first cutting blade 31a and the first cutting blade receiving part 32a at the third relative position R3 is the distance D2 (FIG. 12) at the second relative position R2. ) and smaller than the distance D1 (FIG. 10) at the first relative position R1.

The drive mechanism 40 of this embodiment includes a drive cylinder 41 (FIG. 1) driven by fluid, a slider 42 (FIG. 7) connected to the drive cylinder 41, and a guide shaft 43 (FIG. 7) that guides the movement of the slider 42. 7).

The drive cylinder 41 is, for example, a double-acting cylinder. Specifically, the drive cylinder 41 moves the slider 42 in a first direction by being supplied with fluid in a first direction (for example, upward), and moves the slider 42 in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The slider 42 is moved in the second direction by supplying fluid (for example, downward). When fluid is supplied to the drive cylinder 41 in the first direction, the relative position of the cutting blade 31 with respect to the cutting blade receiving portion 32 changes from the first relative position R1 (FIG. 10) via the slider 42. 2 relative position R2 (FIG. 12). When fluid is supplied to the drive cylinder 41 in the second direction, the relative position changes from the second relative position R2 (FIG. 12) or the third relative position R3 (FIG. 13) via the slider 42. It is changed to the first relative position R1 (FIG. 10).

In this embodiment, an opening/closing detection section 70 (FIG. 2) is provided that detects the position (opened/closed state) of the holding unit 50 within the housing 10. When the opening/closing detection unit 70 detects that the holding unit 50 has moved from the closed position to the open position, the drive mechanism 40 changes the relative position of the cutting blade 31 with respect to the cutting blade receiving unit 32 to a second relative position R2. It is configured to restrict changes to. Specifically, the detection by the open/close detector 70 cuts off the supply of fluid in the first direction to the drive cylinder 41 of the drive mechanism 40, thereby restricting the upward movement of the cutting blade 31. At this time, fluid may be supplied to the drive cylinder 41 in the second direction so that the cutting blade 31 moves downward. This can prevent the cutting blade 31 from moving upward due to malfunction when the holding unit 50 is in the open position.

The opening/closing detection section 70 (for example, a sensor, etc.) of the present embodiment detects whether the holding unit 50 is in a position housed in the housing 10 (closed position) or in a position pulled out from the housing 10 (open position). Detect which position it is located at. For example, the opening/closing detection section 70 detects the open/closed state of the holding unit 50 by contacting the holding unit 50 in the closed state and separating from the holding unit 50 in the open state. Specifically, the dog 54 (FIG. 2) formed at the rear end (-X direction end) of the base 53 comes into contact with the opening/closing detection section 70 in the closed state, and detects opening/closing in the open state. By separating from the portion 70, the open/closed state of the holding unit 50 is detected.

In this embodiment, a control section (not shown) controls the drive of the drive mechanism 40 based on information detected by the opening/closing detection section 70. The control unit includes, for example, a memory, a processing circuit corresponding to a processor such as a CPU that executes a program, and a storage device (storage unit).

The slider 42 is moved by the drive of the drive cylinder 41 and changes the relative position of the cutting blade 31 with respect to the cutting blade receiving part 32. The slider 42 is connected to the piston rod 41a of the drive cylinder 41. The slider 42 is moved by the driving of the drive cylinder 41 by vertically engaging with the piston rod 41a. The slider 42 is attached to a fixing member 33 that fixes the cutting blade 31.

The guide shaft 43 is connected to the slider 42 so that the slider 42 can slide. The guide shaft 43 of this embodiment guides the vertical movement of the slider 42. The guide shaft 43 is, for example, a rod-shaped member that extends in the vertical direction. The guide shaft 43 is inserted into a through hole 42a (FIG. 7) that penetrates the slider 42 in the vertical direction. A plurality of guide shafts 43 (for example, two guide shafts) are provided at both ends of the fixing member 33 in the X direction. The guide shaft 43 is fixed to the frame 44, for example.

15 and 16 are side views showing schematic configurations of the guide shaft 43 and plunger 45. Note that in FIGS. 15 and 16, some members of the plunger 45 (such as the plunger body) are omitted for convenience of explanation.

A recess 43a is formed in either the slider 42 or the guide shaft 43, and is recessed in a direction intersecting the moving direction of the slider 42. As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the recess 43a of this embodiment is formed in the guide shaft 43. As shown in FIGS. The recessed portion 43a is recessed toward the axis of the guide shaft 43. For example, the recess 43a is formed in a groove shape around the entire circumference at a position between one end and the other end of the guide shaft 43. Thereby, the recess 43a and the plunger 45, which will be described later, can be easily aligned.

An inclined surface S4 inclined with respect to the axial direction (Z direction) is formed in the recessed portion 43a. The inclined surface S4 is, for example, formed in a curved shape. In this embodiment, the recess 43a (slanted surface S4) is vertically symmetrical with respect to the direction perpendicular to the axial direction.

A plunger 45 is provided on the other of the slider 42 or the guide shaft 43. In this embodiment, plunger 45 is provided on slider 42 (FIG. 10). The plunger 45 slides along with the slider 42 in the axial direction. The plunger 45 has a movable portion 45a that is biased toward the recess 43a. The movable portion 45a is biased by an elastic member 45b (eg, a spring, etc.). An inclined surface S5 inclined with respect to the axial direction is formed in the movable portion 45a. The inclined surface S5 is, for example, formed in a curved shape. In this embodiment, the movable portion 45a (slanted surface S5) is vertically symmetrical with respect to the direction perpendicular to the axial direction. For example, the plunger 45 is a ball plunger, and the movable portion 45a is a ball of the ball plunger.

With such a configuration of the drive mechanism 40, when the drive cylinder 41 is driven, the piston rod 41a moves, and the first cutting blade 31a moves upward from the state (R1) shown in FIG. 10 through the slider 42 and the fixed member 33. It is moved and placed at the position (R2) shown in FIG.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the upper end of the attitude changing member 37 is arranged at a higher position than the upper end of the second cutting blade 31b. Therefore, when the fixing member 33 (FIG. 10) moves upward, the attitude changing member 37 first comes into contact with the tape 3 (see FIG. 11). At this time, the tape 3 is pressed against the fixed blade 32b by the posture changing member 37. When the fixing member 33 moves further upward from this state, the tape 3 is cut by the second cutting blade 31b and the fixed blade 32b, resulting in a state of the second relative position R2 shown in FIG. 12. By lifting the tape 3 with the posture changing member 37, the tape 3 can be pressed against the fixed blade 32b, so that the tape 3 can be cut more easily.

At this time, the carrier tape 5 is cut and divided by the first cutting blade 31a. In this embodiment, the first cutting blade 31a is inserted into the cover tape 6 by a minute distance. That is, the distance D2 between the first cutting blade 31a and the first cutting blade receiving portion 32a is smaller than the thickness of the cover tape 6.

When the first cutting blade 31a is located at the second relative position R2 (FIG. 12), the plunger 45 is in the state shown in FIG. 15. Specifically, the movable portion 45a of the plunger 45 is arranged at a position eccentric from the axial center portion 43aa of the recess 43a. In this embodiment, the movable portion 45a is arranged at a position eccentrically upward from the axially central portion 43aa of the recess 43a. More specifically, the center height C3 of the movable portion 45a is higher than the height C1 of the axial center portion 43aa of the recess 43a, and the center height C3 of the movable portion 45a is higher than the height C1 of the axial center portion 43aa of the recess 43a. It is lower than the height C2.

Here, the axial center portion 43aa is a portion located at the center of the recess 43a in the axial direction (Z direction). In this embodiment, the axial center portion 43aa of the recess 43a is a portion located on the axis of symmetry of the recess 43a. When the recessed portion 43a is not formed symmetrically in the vertical direction, the axial center portion 43aa of the recessed portion 43a corresponds to the height of the movable portion 45a in the engaged state in which the movable portion 45a and the recessed portion 43a are engaged in the vertical direction (Z direction). This is the part that is located in the middle.

When the supply of fluid to the drive cylinder 41 is cut off from the position shown in FIG. 12 (second relative position R2), the first cutting blade 31a moves to the third relative position R3 shown in FIG. 13. In this embodiment, the movement from the second relative position R2 to the third relative position R3 is performed by the plunger 45. Specifically, as the movable portion 45a moves in the axial direction (downward) from the state shown in FIG. 15 to the state shown in FIG. Moving.

As shown in FIG. 15, the movable portion 45a is biased in the +X direction by the elastic member 45b in a state where the center height C3 of the movable portion 45a is lower than the height C2 of the axial end portion 43ab. The movable portion 45a moves toward the axial center portion 43aa of the recess 43a. Due to the biasing forces of the inclined surfaces S4 and S5 and the elastic member 45b, a force having a component of biasing in the vertical direction (downward in this embodiment) is applied to the plunger 45, so that the movable part 45a moves into the recessed part. 43a toward the axial center portion 43aa. In this embodiment, the driving force of the drive cylinder 41 is greater than the downward force generated in the plunger 45, and the movable part 45a moves upward beyond the recess 43a, so that the first relative position R1 to the second relative position R2. When the driving of the drive cylinder 41 is stopped, the movable part 45a moves downward due to the downward force on the movable part 45a generated by the urging force of the inclined surfaces S4 and S5 and the elastic member 45b, and the second It moves from the relative position R2 to the third relative position R3.

At the third relative position R3, as shown in FIG. 16, the movable portion 45a is arranged such that the center height C3 of the movable portion 45a and the height C1 of the axial center portion 43aa of the recess 43a are the same. Ru. Since the slider 42 provided with the plunger 45 moves downward with respect to the guide shaft 43, the first cutting blade 31a connected to the slider 42 through the fixing member 33 also moves downward. As a result, the first cutting blade 31a moves from the second relative position R2 to the third relative position R3.

The difference (D4 shown in FIG. 15) between the height C3 of the movable part 45a of the plunger 45 at the second relative position R2 and the height C1 of the movable part 45a at the third relative position R3 is the first cutting blade 31a. This is the distance traveled. The moving distance of the first cutting blade 31a can be adjusted by changing D4, for example. At the third relative position R3 (FIG. 13), the size D3 of the gap formed between the first cutting blade 31a and the first cutting blade receiving part 32a is, for example, greater than or equal to the thickness of the cover tape 6. , is less than the thickness of the entire tape 3.

In this embodiment, a relative position detection section 46 (for example, a sensor, etc.) that detects the relative position of the cutting blade 31 with respect to the cutting blade receiving section 32 is provided. The drive cylinder 41 of the drive mechanism 40 is configured such that fluid supply is cut off when the relative position detection section 46 detects that the relative position has been changed from the first relative position R1 to the second relative position R2. configured. That is, the relative position detection section 46 (FIG. 9) detects the position of the cutting blade 31, thereby cutting off the fluid supply from the state shown in FIG. 12. The control unit controls the drive of the drive mechanism 40 based on the information detected by the relative position detection unit 46.

For example, the relative position detection unit 46 detects the position of the cutting blade 31 depending on whether it is in contact with a dog 47 attached to a slider 42 that moves up and down. Specifically, at the first relative position R1 shown in FIG. 10, the dog 47 (FIG. 9) is in a position separated from the relative position detection section 46, and when it has moved to the second relative position R2 shown in FIG. At this time, the dog 47 comes into contact with the relative position detection section 46 . When the dog 47 comes into contact with the relative position detection section 46, the relative position detection section 46 detects that the first cutting blade 31a is located at the second relative position R2. fluid supply is cut off. As a result, the relative position can be changed from the second relative position R2 to the third relative position R3 (FIG. 13) by the plunger 45 immediately after the carrier tape 5 is cut. The tape 3 can be pulled out from the cutting unit 30 at the same time.

Next, the configuration of the removal member 65 that removes the carrier tape 5 separated from the tape 3 by the first cutting blade 31a from the space on the side of the first cutting blade 31a will be described.

FIG. 17 is a perspective view showing an operation in which the carrier tape 5 is removed by the removal member 65. As shown in FIGS. 14 and 17, the carrier tape 5 (cut end) removed from the tape 3 by the first cutting blade 31a is located around the first cutting blade 31a, for example. In this embodiment, a removal member 65 (FIG. 17) is provided for removing the carrier tape 5 from the space (pathway 35) on the side of the first cutting blade 31a. The carrier tape 5 is located within the passage 35 before being removed by the removal member 65. The passage 35 is surrounded by, for example, the first cutting blade 31a, the second cutting blade 31b, and the upper surface S6 of the fixing member 33.

The passage 35 is formed to extend along the first cutting blade 31a on one side (+Y direction side) of the first cutting blade 31a. In the passage 35, the carrier tape 5 passes, which is removed by the removal member 65. A housing portion 80 (FIG. 17) in which the removed carrier tape 5 is stored is provided on the other side of the first cutting blade 31a (the side on the −Y direction side). Further, a first guide 81 is provided to guide the carrier tape 5 removed through the passage 35 from the passage 35 to the storage part 80 . For example, the first guide 81 has an inclined surface 81a extending in the direction of the accommodating portion 80 below the front end (+X direction end) of the passage 35.

In this embodiment, a second guide 82 is further provided on the other side of the first cutting blade 31a (the side on the −Y direction side). The second guide 82 is formed to guide the carrier tape 5 from the first cutting blade 31a to the accommodating part 80. Thereby, even if the carrier tape 5 removed from the tape 3 falls on the side opposite to the passage 35 side of the first cutting blade 31a, the carrier tape 5 can be stored in the storage section 80.

As shown in FIG. 4, the removal member 65 of this embodiment is provided in the holding unit 50. Specifically, the removal member 65 is formed to extend downward from the base 53 of the holding unit 50. The removal member 65 is, for example, a plate-like (column-like) member that extends in the vertical direction. The base 53 is provided behind (in the -X direction) the position where the tape 3 is held by the holding unit 50.

The removal member 65 removes the carrier tape 5 separated from the tape 3 by the first cutting blade 31a by moving in the width direction in the space on the side of the first cutting blade 31a. Specifically, the removal member 65 moves and comes into contact with the carrier tape 5 located in the passage 35, so that the carrier tape 5 is pushed out of the passage 35. The carrier tape 5 pushed out of the passage 35 is stored in the storage section 80 via the first guide 81.

The removal member 65 is configured to be movable in the width direction (X direction) of the tape 3 by a removal member moving mechanism. In this embodiment, the removal member moving mechanism that moves the removal member 65 is the holding unit moving mechanism 52 (FIG. 2) that moves the holding unit 50 in the width direction. That is, when the holding unit 50 slides in the width direction with respect to the housing 10, the removal member 65 similarly slides in the width direction together with the holding unit 50. As a result, when the holding unit 50 is pulled out from the housing 10 after the work of removing the carrier tape 5 from the tape 3 is completed, the removing member 65 removes the carrier tape 5 from the space on the side of the first cutting blade 31a. can be removed from

Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be implemented in various other forms. In the embodiment described above, the cutting blade receiving part 32 is fixedly arranged with respect to the frame 44, and the relative position is changed by moving the cutting blade 31 in the vertical direction with respect to the cutting blade receiving part 32. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the cutting blade 31 may be fixed and the relative position may be changed by moving the cutting blade receiving part 32. Alternatively, the relative positions may be changed by moving both the cutting blade 31 and the cutting blade receiving part 32.

Furthermore, although the recessed portion 43a is formed to be depressed toward the axis of the guide shaft 43, the present invention is not limited thereto. The recess 43a may be, for example, a through hole that penetrates the guide shaft 43 in the horizontal direction.

Further, although the drawing direction W1 of the tape 3 is a direction inclined upward with respect to the XY plane, the present invention is not limited thereto. The direction in which the tape 3 is drawn may be, for example, a direction inclined downward with respect to the XY plane, a direction along the XY plane, or the like.

Further, although the drive mechanism 40 includes the drive cylinder 41 driven by fluid, the drive mechanism 40 may drive the cutting unit 30 with a configuration other than the drive cylinder 41. The drive mechanism 40 may be, for example, a mechanism using a motor. Thereby, minute positional adjustment of the first cutting blade 31a can be performed.

Further, the tape cutting device 1 may include a tape drawing mechanism for drawing out the tape 3 from the cutting unit 30.

Furthermore, although the holding unit moving mechanism 52 has been described as slidingly moving the holding unit 50, the holding unit moving mechanism 52 is not limited thereto. For example, the holding unit moving mechanism 52 may be a mechanism that has a power source and automatically opens and closes the holding unit 50. Further, although the holding unit moving mechanism 52 has a guide rail that supports the holding unit 50 so as to be slidable (in the X direction), the holding unit 50 may be moved by a mechanism other than the guide rail.

Furthermore, although the removal member moving mechanism that moves the removal member 65 is the holding unit moving mechanism (rail mechanism) 52 that moves the holding unit 50 in the width direction, it is not limited thereto. The removal member moving mechanism may be any other mechanism as long as it moves in the width direction in the space on the side of the first cutting blade 31a and removes the carrier tape 5 separated from the tape 3 by the first cutting blade 31a. It may be. For example, the removal member moving mechanism and the holding unit moving mechanism 52 may be independent moving mechanisms.

Further, although the first member 55 and the second member 56 are provided so that the distance between them can be adjusted by the adjustment mechanism 58, the present invention is not limited to this as long as the holding unit 50 can hold the tape 3. For example, when the width of the tape 3 to be cut is one type, the first member 55 and the second member 56 may be integrally configured as one member.

Further, although the first member 55 is fixed to the base 53 and the second member 56 is attached to the base 53 so as to be movable relative to the first member 55, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the second member 56 may be fixed to the base 53, and the first member 55 may be attached to the base 53 so as to be movable relative to the second member 56. Further, both the first member 55 and the second member 56 may be attached to the base 53 so as to be relatively movable.

Further, the cutting blade receiving part 32 is fixedly arranged with respect to the frame 44, and the relative position is changed by moving the cutting blade 31 in the vertical direction with respect to the cutting blade receiving part 32. , but not limited to. For example, the cutting blade 31 may be fixedly arranged with respect to the frame 44, and the cutting blade receiving portion 32 may be movable with respect to the cutting blade 31. Alternatively, both the cutting blade 31 and the cutting blade receiving part 32 may be configured to move relative to the frame 44.

Moreover, although the recessed portion 43a is formed vertically symmetrically with respect to the direction orthogonal to the axial direction, the recessed portion 43a may be formed vertically asymmetrically with respect to the direction orthogonal to the axial direction.

Note that by appropriately combining any of the various embodiments described above, the effects of each embodiment can be achieved.

Although the invention has been fully described with reference to preferred embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings, various variations and modifications will become apparent to those skilled in the art. It is to be understood that such variations and modifications are included insofar as they do not depart from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Further, combinations and changes in the order of elements in the embodiments can be realized without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.

The tape cutting device according to the present invention is useful, for example, when performing edge processing in which the carrier tape is cut at the end of the tape and the carrier tape is separated from the tape with the cover tape remaining.
