Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a component supply device used in an electronic component mounting machine for mounting electronic components on a printed circuit board.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When an electronic component is supplied to a general electronic component mounting machine, as shown in FIG. 4, a reel 17 around which a tape-shaped component assembly 19 is wound is held by a holding portion 18, and a drive mechanism is also used. There is known a component supply device 28 that intermittently conveys electronic components housed in the tape-shaped component assembly 19 via a drive gear to a predetermined component extraction position along the tape traveling surface of the body 20. Here, 21 is a memory having a memory and a calculation function, and is a body 2 of the component supply device 28.
It is attached to 0.

Therefore, the present inventors have previously proposed the one shown in FIG. That is, the bar code 22 provided on the reel 17 is read by the bar code reader 23, the name of the tape-shaped component assembly 19, the number of parts, and the tape-shaped component assembly 19 registered in the computer 24.
The component supply part number of the electronic component mounting machine to attach the
The data is stored in the memory 21 via the head 25.

As shown in FIG. 6, this component supply device 28 is attached to a component supply section 27 of a predetermined electronic component mounting machine 26, and a reader 29 of the electronic component mounting machine 26 causes a component supply device 2 to operate.
The information stored in the memory 21 of No. 8 is read to check whether the attached tape-shaped component assembly 19 is correct.

[0005]

However, in the case where the information is stored in the memory 21 as in the above-mentioned conventional example, even if the operator tries to confirm the stored information,
A reading reader is required and cannot be confirmed immediately.

When the component supply device 28 prepared near the electronic component mounting machine 26 is attached to the component supply section 27, a reading reader is used or the reel 17 is used.
There was a problem such as having to confirm the name described in.

The present invention intends to provide a component supply device which can solve such problems.

[0008]

In order to solve this problem, the present invention stores and displays the name and number of stored electronic components, the electronic component mounting machine to be attached and the component supply section number, and the like. The electronic component supply device is provided with a display unit. Further, the memory is provided with a receiving unit, and a part or the whole of the memory is made to emit light or blink by receiving a signal from the electronic component mounting machine or a communication section connected to the electronic component mounting machine.

[0009]

The function of this technical means is as follows.
The operator can check the information of the stored components of the electronic component supply device stored in the memory without using the reading reader. In addition, the memory can also display the electronic component mounting machine to which the prepared electronic component is to be mounted and the component supply number, so that the worker can check when the electronic component mounting machine runs out of parts,
It suffices to select the component supply device to which the memory displaying the number corresponding to the number of the component supply unit is attached.

Further, the memory receives a signal from the electronic component mounting machine or a communication section connected to the electronic component mounting machine when a component shortage occurs in the electronic component mounting machine, and a tape-shaped component assembly to be attached. A part or the whole of the memory of the component supply device with the body set is lighted or blinked to notify the operator, and the operator can easily select the required component supply device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a component supply device of this embodiment. As shown in the figure, this component supply device holds the reel 1 around which the tape-shaped component assembly 4 is wound by a holding section 2 and pulls out the tape-shaped component assembly 4 by a drive gear through a drive mechanism, The electronic components stored in the tape-shaped component assembly 4 are intermittently delivered to the component extraction position 3.
This configuration is the same as the above-mentioned conventional example. The present embodiment is characterized by the memory 6 provided in the component supply device.

Here, the memory 6 has a storage and calculation function, is attached to the body 5 of the component supply device, and is mounted on the reel 1.
If the bar code 8 provided on the computer is read by a bar code reader (not shown), the name and quantity of the tape-shaped component assembly 4, and the electronic component to which the tape-shaped component assembly 4 registered in the computer is attached The component supply part number of the mounting machine and the like are stored in the memory 6 via a head (not shown). The memory 6 has a display section 7 and a receiving section (not shown), and when the memory 6 is stored, the information stored in the display section 7 is displayed.

FIG. 2 shows the memory 6 and a display example.
The display unit 7 displays a component name 9, a component quantity 10, an electronic component mounting machine number 11, and a component supply unit number 12. Further, the memory 6 has a light-emitting body 1 on the surface.
Have three.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the electronic component mounting machine 14 is connected so as to transmit information to the computer 16, and the computer 16 is connected to the memory 6 in the component supply device.
Information is wirelessly transmitted to a receiver (not shown) provided in the.

Therefore, when the worker sets the tape-shaped component assembly 4 in the component supply device and stores the information of the tape-shaped component assembly 4 in the memory 6 mounted in the component supply device, the operator does not use a reading reader. Also, by looking at the display section 7 of the memory 6, it is possible to confirm whether or not the component information stored in the component supply device has been correctly stored.

Further, when the electronic component mounting machine 14 is in operation, when a component of the component supply section 15 runs out, the computer 16 connected to the electronic component mounting machine 14 generates a signal,
From the prepared component supply device, the memory 6 of the component supply device in which the tape-shaped component assembly in which the component is out has been set receives the signal and causes the light emitting body 13 to emit light. Therefore, the operator can see the light emission and can easily see the necessary component supply device from among a large number of component supply devices, and therefore, it is not necessary to search and the replacement time of the component supply device can be shortened.

[0017]

As is apparent from the above description of the embodiments, since the present invention is equipped with a memory in the component supply device and displays the component name and the number of components stored in this memory, the operator can read the reader. Even without using, it is possible to confirm the tape-shaped component contents of the component supply device by the information stored in the memory. Further, since the memory also displays the electronic component mounting machine to which the prepared electronic component is to be attached and the component supply part number thereof, the worker, when the component is out of stock, displays the number of the part supply part in which the part is out. It suffices to select the component supply device to which the memory displaying the matching number is attached.

Further, the memory has a receiving unit and receives a signal sent from the electronic component mounting machine or a communication unit of a computer connected to the electronic component mounting machine when the electronic component mounting machine runs out of components. By notifying by flashing or flashing a part or the whole of the memory of the component supply device in which the tape-shaped component assembly to be attached is set, the worker can select the required component supply device from the prepared component supply devices. It becomes easier to select and the replacement time of the component supply device can be greatly shortened.
