Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to prevent a part supplmenting device for resting, in an automatic electrical part inserting device, by feeding electrical parts from part storing bodies radially arranged, to holders on a feed table through part separating devices positioned on the center side of the part storing bodies. CONSTITUTION:Sticks 4 are stred in each stick holder 8, successively from the center side of the holder, from the peripheral side of a stationary table 6, and are pressed by a constant pressure pressurizing device. Component parts in each stick 4 are separated by a part separating device 9 and are dropped into part holders 12 to be held by thereby one by one. The holders 12 are rotated together with a feed table 10 to be transferred and discharge to the front surface of an insertion path. An empty stick 4 is pulled out by means of a stick discharge device (not shown), and thereafter is fed with new component parts. With this arrangement, supplementation of component parts may be made without resting of the device, and as well it is possible to aim at saving a space.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for supplying electrical components in an automatic electrical component insertion device or the like.

Conventional Structures and Problems There are various methods of supplying electrical components depending on the type of component to be supplied.

In this method, the parts shown in the supply chamber shown in FIG.

In this case, as the types and number of parts to be supplied increase, the supply device becomes larger and requires more space. In addition, the supply unit 2 shown in Figure 1 is a space-saving type supply device that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks, but in this case, the supply device itself rotates and moves to the insertion path, so when replenishing parts, the supply device Since the operation of the feeder must be stopped, the operation rate decreases, and in order to rotate the entire feeding device, a large drive mechanism is required and its inertia becomes large.

Purpose of the Invention In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention provides a component that can be replenished without stopping the supply device when replenishing parts, does not take up space even when the types and number of parts to be supplied increases, and requires a small drive mechanism. It provides a supply method.

Structure of the Invention To achieve this object, the component supply method of the present invention is as follows:
Components stored in component storage bodies arranged radially on a fixed table are separated by a component separation device provided on the central side of the component storage body, and then parallel to the fixed table. In addition, a method was adopted in which the components were held by a component holder attached around a transfer table having the same center and a driving source, and transferred to the insertion path. With this method, the table for arranging parts and the table for transporting separated parts are each provided independently, so parts can be replenished even when the supply device is in operation, and parts can be easily arranged. Because it is placed closer to the center, the table for transferring parts can be made smaller, and its drive mechanism can also be made smaller.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4.

Component 3 in FIG. 2a is an example of a component used in this embodiment, and is stored in stick 4 in FIG. 2. FIG. 3 is a top view of the common supply section 5 of this embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a top view of the supply section 6.
This is a front view of the fixed table 6 and the main body frame 7.
A stick holder 8 is arranged radially on the top of the stick holder 8 to store the sticks 4 so that the longitudinal direction of the sticks 4 is parallel to the central axis. A separating device 9 is attached to each stick holder 8. The transfer table has its central axis at the center of the radial pattern, and is rotatably attached to the main body frame 7 parallel to the fixed table 6. The transfer table 1o is connected to a motor 11 through a rotation transmission gear at its lower part, and component holders 12 are attached around the entire circumference at equal pitches to the angular pitch at which the stick holders 8 are arranged. The stick on the center side and the component separating device 9 are arranged so as to be on the same straight line. 13 is an insertion path.

The component supply method of this embodiment configured as described above will now be explained step by step. First stick 4
are stored in the stick holder 8 from the circumferential side of the fixing table 6 in order from the center side, and a constant pressure pressurizing device (not shown) applies a constant pressure from the circumferential side to the center side.
, and press stick 4 toward the center. Each component in the stick 4 is dropped into a component holder 12 one by one by a component separating device 9 and held therein.

The component 3 held in the component holder 12 is transferred to the front of the insertion path 13 by rotating the transfer table 10 as the motor 11 is driven by a predetermined electrical signal. When all the parts in stick 4 are gone,
An empty stick is pulled out by a stick discharging device (not shown) provided in the center of the transfer table 1o, and the next stick is pushed out toward the center by a constant pressure device, and the next stick is pushed out toward the center of the parts separation device 9. located above.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the method of the present invention, by arranging the parts radially on the fixed table, there is an effect of improving the machine operating rate without stopping the operation of the supply device when replenishing the parts, and Space can be saved in the supply section, where parts were conventionally arranged in horizontal rows, and the transfer table can be made smaller because the part separation device and part holder are placed on the radial center side, so a small drive mechanism can be used. can.
