Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a device sorter excellent in operability which can be loaded even to a small device by providing a pan for receiving a sorted device, a device sucker, a device housing box and a belt conveyor thereby sorting several devices simultaneously at a same position. CONSTITUTION:A device sucker 200 begins to suck a sorted device 3. The sucker 200 sucks sorted devices of same number as the shutters of a sorted device receiving pan simultaneously and places the sorted devices on the pan 1 which is stopped at a housing position designated by the control section of the sorter. Same sort of shutters 2a, 2b, 2c, 2n of the pan 1 are then opened and the devices are housed in sorted device housing boxes 7A, 7B, 7C, 7D, 7N or a belt conveyor 201. The device sorter makes a half-cycle movement above the boxes 7A, 7B, 7C, 7D, 7N and the belt conveyor 201 until the devices 3 on the pan 1 are discharged entirely.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention, in a handler for continuously measuring electronic components for surface mounting such as a surface acoustic wave filter and a crystal oscillator, classifies a plurality of devices which are being simultaneously transported at one position. , A device sorter classification device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the classification of devices, there has been a system in which a characteristic inspection is performed during the transportation and the devices are transported to a designated storage box according to the classification. A conventional example is shown in FIG. As a method of transporting to a designated storage box according to the classification of the device, for example, a pickup 400 is used to transport from the designated storage box 70A to 70n, or the electromagnetic opening / closing door 9 is opened / closed to drop it in the middle of the transportation. Each time the designated classification was decided, the pickups 400 were conveyed from the storage boxes 70A to 70n, and electromagnetic pickups were performed. The device transport path had to be long because each operation corresponding to the classification was taken, but it was difficult to make the device compact due to the long transport path for device classification, and the manufacturing, maintenance, and operability were not good, and It was an economy.

[0003]

For example, the device is miniaturized, and the surface mount component is 5 mm square and the thickness is about 1 mm. There has been a demand for continuous and rapid classification of thousands of parts at low cost, which was not possible with the conventional technology. According to the present invention, a device sorter classifying apparatus is provided with means for classifying a plurality of devices being simultaneously transported at one position,
Prevented long transport routes when classifying devices.
According to the present invention, a device is classified into several units at the same time, and multi-classification is performed at one position, so that the work is speeded up, the operability is good, and the device is economical and can be attached to a small device. Is.

[Means for Solving the Problems] Now, referring to FIG.
Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, (a) Classified device saucer 1
Device suction device 200 for transporting the devices 3 classified into
(A) Sorted device storage boxes 7A, 7B, 7C are placed at positions where the sorted device tray 1 moves 300 on the sorter block base 8 by driving the motor 6.
7D, 7N are provided, and (c) Air cylinders 5a, 5b, 5c, 5n for opening and closing the shutters 2a, 2b, 2c, 2n on the classified device tray 1 are provided, and the classified device discharge port 4 is provided below. (D) The device conveying belt conveyor 201 is provided in parallel to the sorter block base 8 as described above, and thus the device sorter sorting device is configured.

[0005]

The device suction device 20 configured as described above
In 0, several classified devices 3 are collectively adsorbed, a semi-circular movement 300 is performed, and they are conveyed to the classified device tray 1.
The classified device tray 1 that has received the classified device 3 moves the semicircle 300 by the action of the motor 6 to specify the position.
The shutters 2a, 2b, 2c, 2n of the classified device tray 1 stopped at the designated position are air cylinders 5a, 5b, 5
The devices of the same classification opened by the actions of c and 5n simultaneously open the shutters of the same classification and the classified devices 3 are stored. Due to the structure of the classification device discharge port 4, devices of the same classification store the classified device 3 without movement of the shutter position.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a device sorter classifying apparatus according to the embodiment, FIG. 2 is a side view of the classified device tray 1, and FIG. 3 is a side view showing a part of the device sorter classifying apparatus according to the above embodiment. It is shown.

In FIG. 1, the device adsorption device 200 starts adsorption of the classified devices 3. The device adsorption device 200 simultaneously adsorbs the same number of shutters as the classified device trays 1 and puts the classified devices 3 on the classified device trays 1. The classified device trays 1 are stored by the control part of the apparatus. Stop at the position. Shutters 2a, 2b, 2c, 2n of the classified device tray 1 have shutters of the same classification opened, and classified device storage boxes 7A, 7B,
7C, 7D, 7N or device conveyor belt conveyor 201. The semi-circular movement 300 is performed on the classified device storage boxes 7A, 7B, 7C, 7D, 7N and the device conveyor belt conveyor 201 until all the classified devices 3 of the classified device tray 1 are discharged.

In FIG. 2, for example, shutters 2a, 2c
When opened, the internal structure of the sorting device outlet 4, for example,
The tilted structure shown allows the classified devices 3 to be grouped together in one place. Therefore, if the storage positions of the same classification are determined, the device is stored without moving regardless of the shutters 2a and 2c.

In FIG. 3, a device suction device 200 and a device carrying belt conveyor 201 are mounted. The sorted device storage box 7 is mounted on the sorter block base 8. When the classified device 3 is conveyed to the classified device tray 1 by the device suction device 200, the classified device tray 1 is moved by a semicircle 300 by the operation of the motor 6 to determine the designated classification storage position. When the designated storage position is determined, the shutter 2n is opened by the operation of the air cylinder 5n. The classified device 3 is moved from the classified device discharge port 4 to the designated storage position (classified device storage box 7 or belt conveyor 201 for device transport). It is stored.

[0010]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. For example, when devices are classified, they are inevitably divided into a large number of groups that occupy the top mode and a large number of groups that occupy the top mode. In contrast to the above, the classified device storage box 7A,
The arrangement of 7B, 7C, 7D, and 7N and the device-conveying belt conveyor 201 is very effective in classifying the devices. If there are several same classified devices 3 in the classified device tray 1, the shutters 2a, 2b, 2c, 2n
Due to the structure of the classified device discharge port 4 in which the shutters of the same classification are opened, workability is improved because it is not necessary to move the position of the shutters. By performing multiple device classification at the same time at one position, the transport route for device classification is shortened, and the size of the device can be reduced. The sorter sorter for the device has an outstanding improvement in overall performance, including improvements in manufacturing, maintenance, operability, economy, and throughput.
