Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for sealing the end of a chip tape wound on a reel with an end seal. The end of the chip tape reel is characterized in that the end of the chip tape is continuously adhesively sealed with the end seal while the production of the marked end seal and the winding of the chip tape reel are performed in parallel. A sealing method and apparatus are provided.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, chips (capacitors, registers, and various other small electronic components) are mounted in chip mounting recesses formed at equal intervals on a continuous length of tape and sealed with a cover tape to provide a chip tape. (For example, 5000 chips, 10000 chips, etc.)
Is wound on a reel to provide a chip tape reel, and in the state of the chip tape reel, trading, storage, transportation, and the like are generally performed for a next step (eg, a chip mounting step).

[0003] In the final step of winding the chip tape on a reel, a narrow strip-shaped end seal is adhered to the end of the chip tape, and the end seal is sealed so that the end of the chip tape is not unraveled. Is provided.

The end seal is usually an adhesive seal in which an adhesive is coated on the back surface of a material such as paper, and a mark indicating the specifications of the intended chip tape reel to be adhesively sealed with the end seal is provided on a front surface side of the end seal. (Tape marker) marking is performed.

[0005] The mark indicates, for example, the type of chip (capacitor, register, etc.), the type, quality, characteristics, the date of manufacture, the number, and other specifications of the chip tape reel by numerals, alphabets, or the like. It was done.

Accordingly, since the end seal (mark) indicates the specifications of the chip tape reel sealed with the end seal, the end seal (mark) always matches the chip tape reel. This is a very important matter so as not to cause a serious situation in a later process.

However, a conventional end seal is, for example,
As shown in FIG. 8, a continuous length carrier tape 21 having end seals 22 formed at a set length adhered at equal intervals and wound on a reel is used. Marking the specifications of the chip tape reel, peeling it off one by one, sticking to the cut end of the chip tape in the process of winding the chip tape on the reel and forming the chip tape reel, and using the end seal to seal the chip tape on the reel The tip is adhesively sealed at the top to form a chip tape reel.

[0008]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional process, a marked end seal is prepared in advance in a separate process, and the end seal is peeled off one by one and adhered to the cut end of the chip tape in the winding process of the chip tape. Therefore, even if the end seal (with a mark) and the chip tape reel to be sealed with it are adjusted so that they match each other in advance, one or both of them may be rejected by mistake, etc. If the unexpected situation intervenes, the order of the end seal (with mark) and the target chip tape reel will be different, and the end seal (mark) and the chip tape reel (specifications) sealed with it will not match. Becomes,
An error sometimes occurred where the wrong end seal was attached to the chip tape reel.

[0009] The above mistakes may cause extremely serious troubles in the next process using the end seal mark attached to the chip tape reel and believing that the chip tape reel will be discarded, and the manufacturing process of the chip tape reel will be reduced. Adjustment time and time to restore the correct matching state,
Since it has extremely serious consequences, such as loss of cost, it has been a major issue to prevent this from happening.

In addition, since the conventional end seal is as described above, there is a problem that the end seal itself is expensive and the method and apparatus for sealing the end seal are also expensive.

[0011]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problem by separately marking the end seal and winding the chip tape on a reel, and then combining the two later. There is room for unforeseen situations to intervene, paying attention to the occurrence, and performing the marking of the end seal and the reel winding of the chip tape in parallel, and a series of inseparable methods and devices The end seal (mark) and the end tape (reel) are marked by continuously marking the end of the target chip tape reel with a pre-marked end seal. (Specifications) to solve the problem by preventing the occurrence of inconsistency.

In addition, the end seal itself and the end seal of the chip tape reel are manufactured by performing a series of simple methods and devices from the production of the end seal with the mark to the adhesive seal at the end of the chip tape using an inexpensive kraft adhesive tape. The present invention has solved the problem by reducing the cost of the method and the apparatus.
