Abstract

PURPOSE:To promote labor saving by automatically vertically stacking parts packages where a stick storing parts is inserted in a cylindrical wrapping, and pushing forward only the stick from the lowermost first, the wrapping being pushed backward. CONSTITUTION:A lot of parts packages A are stacked and stored in a holding frame 7, and the lowermost package is supported on the concave stepped portions 6 inside of members 5a, 5b of a transport guide table 5. In such a condition, a pusher 13 is moved to the left by a cylinder, which causes the lowermost package A to be pushed forward. In the course of such operation, only the wrapping box 1 is hooked by a hook member 19, so that only a stick 2 storing electronic parts is fed out. When the stick 2 is pushed out completely, the pusher 13 is moved in order of I-V by combination movements of plural bylinders. In the V condition, the pusher is located at the forward portion of a vacant wrapping box 1, and subsequently, the vacant wrapping box 1 is driven backward by the backward movement of the pusher 13.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic component feeding device configured to fold and feed parts housed in an outer box, and to remove the outer box during the feeding process. O The structure of the conventional example and its problems Electronic parts and the like are generally packaged together, but as shown in FIG. Kei's electronic parts 4
Many items are arranged in vertical columns.

When electronic components packaged in this way are supplied to an automatic assembly machine or the like, the outer box 1 is of course unnecessary and must be removed.

Conventionally, the stick 2ff, which housed the electronic components 4 after removing the outer box 1 manually, was set in an automatic assembly machine, but when the outer box 1 was removed, the stick 2ff
If a shock is applied to the stick 2, the electronic parts 4 inside the stick 2 may fall off or float up, which is inconvenient when set in an automatic assembly machine, and the problem of removing the outer box 1 is troublesome. there were.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention takes the above-mentioned problems into consideration and has as its entire object to automatically remove the outer box before supplying parts, thereby facilitating the supply of said parts.

Structure of the Invention To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a device for feeding a component package formed by inserting a stick containing components into a cylindrical outer box, the device for feeding a component package by inserting a stick containing components into a cylindrical outer box. a holding part for holding, a conveyance guide table for supplying the stacked component packages from the lower one to the next and conveying the supplied component packages, and protruding from a guide surface part of the conveyance guide table; comprising an outer box locking body that is engaged only by the outer box of the component package, and a pusher that pushes out the stick of the component package from the outer box, and positions the pusher in front of the outer box after pushing out the stick, This is an automatic parts supply device configured to perform an operation of sending out the outer box backwards. - Based on this configuration, the outer box of the parts package is automatically removed and only the stick containing the parts is fed, which is effective in automatic assembly, etc.

Description of examples An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

In FIG. 1, 5 is a conveyance guide table, and as shown in FIG. 2, two members 5a are arranged in parallel.

5b, and has a recessed part 6f for receiving the parts assembly package Ai shown in FIG. There is.

A holding frame 7 for stacking and holding component assembly packages A is provided on a part of the upper surface of the transport guide table 6, and the lowermost assembly package A is supported by the recessed step part 6. A transport drive section 8 is provided at the bottom of the table 6. This conveyance drive unit 8 includes a frame 9, a guide shaft 10 that is attached to the frame 9 and is long in the conveyance direction, and a movable body 11 that is movable in the conveyance direction by the guide shaft 10.
and a cylinder 1 that drives this movable body 11 in the transport direction.
It consists of 2.

The movable body 11 has a pusher 13 on its upper part, and a cylinder 14 for moving the pusher 13 up and down. The pusher 13 is a sound product assembly package A.
It is formed into a jb shape that can be inserted into the exterior box 1, and has a protruding piece projecting upward at the rear part. The pusher 13 is movable in the conveyance direction and vertically in the gap between the two members 5a and 6b of the conveyance guide table 6.

A holding frame 7 provided on the upper part of the conveyance guide table 6
A stick feeding mechanism 14 is provided on the front side. The stick feeding mechanism 14 is composed of a cylinder 16, a lever 16 which is swingable by the cylinder 15, and a feeding pawl 17 provided at the lower end of the stick 16. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 7, the upper surface of the stick 2 has four curved sections 18 with which the feed pawl 17 engages.

An outer box locking body 19 is provided at the recessed step portion 66 of the members 5a and 6b of the conveyance guide table 5 and located in front of the holding frame 7. This outer box locking body 19 is supported by an elastic plate 20, and protrudes upward from the surface of the recessed step b6 by the paper thickness of the outer box 1.

On the upper surface of the front part of the conveyance guide table 6, there is provided an articulated feeding plate 21 which fits into the recess 18 of the stick 2 (see FIG. 2).

To explain the operation in the above configuration, the sound b stacked on the holding frame 7 like labor is shown in Figure 4.
Among them, the lowest one is the member 5a of transport plan r11 6,
The receiver is stopped by a recessed step 6 inside 6b. The movable bodies 110, . -13 also moves to the first position and pushes the parts assembly package A in the most -F stage forward as shown in Fig. 4 (a). This sound awakening 1 set package A
During the movement, only the outer box 1 hits the outer box locking body 19 as shown in the same figure (2), and the stick 2, which has an outer diameter of 11'9, is pushed forward from the 1 inch outer box 1 holding the electronic component 4. .

When the stick 2 is completely pushed out as shown in FIG. 6, the pusher 13 is pushed out by the actions of the cylinders 12 and 14 as indicated by the dotted lines r, II, and I in FIG.
II, IV, V (7) III Move to 4. In the state of ■, the stick 2 is pushed out and placed in the front part of the empty outer box 1. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the pusher 13
pushes the empty outer box 1 back. The empty outer box 1
When it is pushed back, the parts assembly package A is newly supplied onto the conveyance guide table 5, and returns to the state shown in FIG. 4 (support). Through such a cycle, the stick 2 containing the electronic components 4 is sequentially sent forward.

Note that the empty outer boxes 1 that have been pushed back are sequentially delivered from the rear of the conveyance guide table 6. Further, the stick 2 pushed forward is moved to the lever 16 by the action of the cylinder 16.
The electronic components 4 inside the system 2 are taken out by a vacuum suction jig (not shown) and supplied to an automatic assembly machine. .

In the above embodiments, the parts assembly package is formed by packaging a large number of parts, but it may be one in which a single part is packaged instead of the assembly packaging as described above.

Effects of the Invention As explained in the embodiments above, the automatic component feeding device of the present invention can automatically remove the cylindrical outer tube of the component package from the component storage stick, and can supply the component storage stick to a component assembly machine or the like. It is effective in automating parts assembly and manufacturing, and has a great industrial effect because the stored parts will not fall or come loose due to an inadvertent impact on the stick.
