Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a component supply device for supplying internal components sequentially from a component supply port by applying vibration to a stick magazine in which components such as electronic components are mounted in a row and slidably. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A stick magazine for storing electronic parts such as ICs is formed of a transparent or semi-transparent synthetic resin material into a rectangular tube shape, and a plurality of parts are vertically slidably mounted in a slidable manner. . Then, when assembling the components, the components are supplied one by one from the component supply ports provided at one end in the longitudinal direction of the stick magazine, and the components are gripped by the hand of the assembling robot and assembled by the assembling robot. It is carried out.

Therefore, conventionally, a component supply device for automatically supplying the components loaded in the stick magazine one by one has been used to supply the components so that the hand of the assembling robot can easily grasp them.

For example, in the component supply device described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-162844, a component supply port is provided at the end of a stick body in which a plurality of components to be supplied are mounted in a row and slidably. By applying a minute vibration to the stick body by the linear feeder, the components loaded inside the stick body are sequentially supplied from the component supply port.

That is, a is a base, b is a vibrating plate, c is a vibration source, a stick body d is fixed to the upper part of the vibrating plate b, and a plurality of parts e are loaded inside the stick body d. There is. Therefore, when the diaphragm b is vibrated by the vibration source c, the vibration direction f is directed obliquely upward, and the ratio of horizontal and vertical components changes depending on the distance from the vibration point. For example, the horizontal component is dominant near the vibration point and the transfer efficiency of the component e is good, but the ratio of the vertical component is large at the distance from the vibration point, and only the vertical movement of the component e prevents the component e from propelling. The ratio of horizontal and vertical components changes in the longitudinal direction of the stick body d.

Therefore, in the conventional linear feeder, the parts inside the stick body vibrate in the vertical direction, and it is not possible to smoothly convey the parts. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to smoothly supply the internal parts of a stick magazine in which a plurality of parts are slidably loaded in a row and sequentially from the part supply port.
