Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit parts to be mounted accurately in arbitrary direction by a method wherein a cover tape is adhesively attached to a flexible tape strip provided with a plurality of equally spaced recessed receiving parts in such manner that the edges of the top surface of a part received in the recess are overlapped by the inward side edges of the cover tapes extending along both sides of the tape strip. CONSTITUTION:A flexible tape 1 is provided with a plurality of recessed receiving parts 2 equally spaced independently of one another and arranged lengthwise. Each of the electronic or mechanical parts 3 required to be mounted is received individually in the receiving part 2 according to a predetermined mounting direction or face. At this time, cover tapes 9 are adhesively attached to both sides of the tape strip 1, so that the part 3 will not come off from the receiving part 2, i.e., the edges of the top surface of the part 3 are overlapped by the inward side edges of the cover tapes 9.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Conventional technology relating to component assemblies used when mounting devices on electronic circuit boards or AM component units In recent years, electronic and mechanical components have been mounted on electronic circuit boards, Increasingly, mechanical components are supplied by attaching them to a flexible tape-like band when mounting them onto a mechanical component unit. Conventionally, a component assembly used for this type of mounting has generally had a configuration as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-23920.

The configuration will be described below with reference to FIGS. 11 to 14.

The component assembly used for mounting has a flexible tape-like strip 1 as a base member, and this tape-like strip 1 is made up of a plurality of equally spaced strips along the longitudinal direction, which are independent of each other. It has a concave storage section 2.

In this storage section 2, parts 3 such as electronic parts and mechanical parts necessary for mounting are stored one by one, with the orientation and front and back sides determined. This component 3 is stored with a gap between it and the side wall of the storage section 1 without using adhesive or the like.

A reel 4 is appropriately prepared for such a component assembly, and the reel 4 is wound spirally around its circumferential surface.

At this time, a covering tape 5 is pasted along the surface of the tape-like band 1 so that the component 3 does not fall off from the storage section 2.

In this way, the component 3 is stored while being held by the flexible tape-like band 1. When mounting the component 3 onto an electronic circuit board (not shown) or a mechanical component unit (not shown) using an automatic mounting device (not shown), the wound component assembly is As shown in FIG. 14, the covering tape 5 is pitch-fed by the feeding roller 6
After being peeled off by a winding roller 7, the component 3 is taken out from the storage section 2 by a mounting tool 8 and mounted.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional component assembly used for mounting, three parts
is stored with a gap between it and the side wall of the storage section 2 without using any adhesive, so in order to mount it with a mounting tool, after peeling off the covering tape 5, grasp the component 3 and mount it. Therefore, in order to prevent the component 3 from falling off, the mounting method was limited to the vertical direction. In particular, in mechanical component units, many screws, washers, etc. need to be installed from the side, and in conventional component assemblies, there are problems such as parts 3 falling off or incorrect installation. Ta.

The present invention solves the above problems, and aims to provide a component assembly that can be reliably mounted in any direction.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has a second means: a flexible tape-like band provided with a plurality of concave storage portions at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction; , as a configuration of a parts assembly consisting of the parts stored in the storage part and a covering tape pasted along both sides of the tape-like band so that the inner edge line overlaps the edge of the upper surface of the part. In the second means, the covering tape is made of an elastic body having punched holes at equal intervals to the intervals between the concave storage portions of the tape-like band. The concave storage part has punched holes equally spaced from each other, and a covering part made of an elastic band that can be folded over the tape-like band and integrally stores the parts. It is.

According to the above-described configurations, the present invention stores components in the concave storage portion of a flexible tape-like band, and covers the tape-like band with a covering tape or a covering portion to prevent the components from falling out of the storage portion. The parts can be stored stably, and the parts can be taken out without any trouble by pushing open the covering tape or by using the elasticity of the covering tape and the holes.

EXAMPLES Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the same parts in the conventional example will be described with the same reference numerals.

As for the first problem-solving means, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, a flexible tape-like strip 1 has a plurality of tape-like strips arranged in a plurality of strips along the longitudinal direction, and adjacent ones are independent of each other. Concave storage portions 2 are provided at equal intervals.

In this storage section 2, parts 3 such as electronic parts and mechanical parts necessary for mounting are stored one by one, with the orientation and front and back sides determined. This component 3 is stored with a gap between it and the side wall of the storage section 2 without using adhesive or the like. A reel 4 is appropriately prepared for such a component assembly, and the reel 4 is wound spirally around its circumferential surface.

At this time, a covering tape 9 is pasted along both sides of the tape-like band 1 so that the component 3 does not fall out of the storage section 2. That is, the inner line of the covering tape 9 meets the edge of the upper surface of the component 3. I try to overlap.

In this way, the part 3 is held in a flexible tape-like strip 1 and wound around it in a soft manner. When the component 3 is mounted on an electronic circuit board (not shown) or a mechanical component unit (not shown) by an automatic mounting device (not shown), the wound component assembly is As shown in Fig. 5, the component 3 is pitch-fed by the feed roller 6, and the mounting tool 8 takes out the component 3 from the storage section 2 and mounts it.In this case, the covering tape 9 is relatively thin, and the inner line is Since it overlaps only the edge of the upper surface of the component 3, if a strong tensile force is applied to the component 3, the component 3 can be removed by pushing open the end line of the covering tape 9. With this structure, the covering tape 9 can be removed. The component 3 can be taken out by suction with the attachment tool 8 without peeling off the tape 9. Moreover, even when the component 3 is set in the vertical direction, the component 3 will not fall out of the storage section 2, and the attachment tool 8 can be moved in the horizontal direction. It can be operated and implemented.

Regarding the second problem solving means, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the flexible tape-like band 1 is the first problem solving means,
Although they have the same shape, in order to prevent the parts 3 from falling out of the storage parts 2, punch holes 10 are formed at equal intervals to the mutual spacing between the concave storage parts 2 of the tape-like band 1 and with a diameter smaller than that of the parts 3. A covering tape 11 made of an elastic body is attached. With this configuration, the mounting tool 8 can be moved laterally to the assembly of parts as shown in FIG. It can be stored in. As for the third problem solving means, as shown in FIG. 10, a flexible tape-like band 1 is integrally formed with a covering portion 12, and the covering portion 12 is bent to cover the tape-like band. , With this configuration, the number of parts can be reduced.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, the parts assembly of the present invention includes a flexible tape-shaped band having a plurality of concave storage portions provided at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction, and It is constructed by a covering tape stuck along both sides of the band, or a covering tape made of an elastic material with punched holes provided at equal intervals to the intervals between the concave storage portions of the tape-shaped body. , implementation can be reliably performed in any direction.

Furthermore, by winding the parts assembly, a large number of parts can be compactly assembled.
