Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a leadless chip-like electronic component array for use in supplying leadless electronic components such as cylindrical capacitor chips.

In order to miniaturize electronic devices, chip-shaped electronic components such as chip-shaped ceramic capacitors and chip-shaped resistors that do not have lead wires have come to be used.

However, in the past, chip-shaped electronic components were transported in bulk, and when being supplied to circuit boards, they were aligned using a parts feeder and sent out sequentially, so there was a risk that the chip-shaped electronic components would be damaged during transportation and alignment. Accidents occurred such as pipes for automatic supply becoming clogged and parts supply being temporarily stopped.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a leadless chip-like electronic component array that allows chip-like electronic components to be transported and supplied easily and safely, and is inexpensive.

The present invention, which is distantly related to the above object, will be described with reference to the reference numerals in the drawings showing the embodiments for easy understanding.
A plurality of recesses 2 are provided on one main surface of the flexible tape 4 at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction, and a plurality of protrusions 8 corresponding to the recesses 2 are provided on the other main surface of the flexible tape 4. A leadless chip-shaped electronic component 5 is housed in each of the plurality of recesses 2, and can be peeled off onto one main surface of the flexible tape 4 to close the recess 2 of the flexible tape 4. The present invention relates to a leadless chip-shaped electronic component array characterized in that a flexible covering tape 6 is adhered with a strong adhesive force, and feeding through holes 3 are provided at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction.

According to the above invention, the following effects can be obtained.

(a) Since the flexible tape 4 having the recess 2 and the flexible covering tape 6 covering the recess 2 accommodate the dress chip component 5, it can be wound into a drum shape.

Therefore, storage and transportation of the leadless chip electronic component 5,
The supply space is reduced, and storage, transportation, and supply are facilitated.

(b) Since the peelable flexible covering tape 6 is used, it is possible to easily prevent the component 5 from detaching and take it out.

(c) Since the feed through hole 3 is provided, the feed can be easily adjusted by a long distance.

(b) Since a large number of convex portions 8 are arranged at regular intervals on the other main surface, these can be used for feeding the tape 4.

(e) Since a recess, that is, a void is created between the protrusions 8 on the other main surface, when the tape 4 is folded for storage, transportation, etc., the side opposite to the recess 2 between the protrusions 8 It becomes possible to insert the convex portion 8 of the present invention, and the overall bulk can be reduced.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

A leadless chip-shaped electronic component array 1 includes a flexible tape 4 in which a large number of component storage recesses 2 are provided at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction and feeding through holes 3 are provided at regular intervals, and this tape. A chip-shaped electronic component 5 consisting of a cylindrical ceramic capacitor without a lead wire is housed in a large number of recesses 2 of 4, and a large number of recesses 2 in which the chip-shaped electronic component 5 is housed are closed and then opened. In order to take out the chip-shaped electronic component 5, it is removed from the flexible covering tape 6 which is adhered to one main surface of the tape 4 with such an adhesive force that it can be peeled off.

In addition, in FIGS. 1 to 3, for convenience of illustration, one flexible tape 4 is shown above the other flexible covering tape 6, but in reality it is below the tape 6. A leadless chip-shaped electronic component 5 is placed in each recess 2.
to store.

Further, as is clear from FIG. 4, the recess 2 has a storage space into which the chip-shaped electronic component 5 can freely fall.

When automatically supplying electronic components 5 from the chip-shaped electronic component array 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, as shown in FIG. 4,
The chip-shaped electronic component array 1 is wound around a reel 7, which serves as an electronic component supply source.

On the other main surface of the chip-shaped electronic component array 1, convex portions 8 corresponding to the concave portions 2 are arranged at regular intervals, and these convex portions mesh with teeth 10 of a gear-shaped pulley 9.

Therefore, this convex portion 8 is used for feeding by the pulley 9,
Electronic component arrays 1 are sequentially fed out from a reel 7.

The flexible covering tape 6 is peeled off from one of the flexible tapes 4 before being wound around the pulley 9 and wound around the take-up reroller 11 .

Therefore, the tape 4 is fed into the pulley 9 with the component storage recess 2 open.

However, the cover 1 is designed to prevent the electronic component 5 from falling within a range that is approximately equal to the wrapping angle of the tape 4 around the pulley 9.
2, the electronic component 5 will not fall out from the recess 2.

Tape 4 wrapped around pulley 9 at an angle of about 180 degrees
is guided to the upper part of the disc-shaped electronic component delivery body 13 and then reaches the drive pulley 14.

The drive pulley 14 is provided with claws 15 corresponding to the spacing between the through holes 3 for feeding the tape 4, and since these are inserted into the through holes 3 for feeding, the drive pulley 14 rotates intermittently. The tape 4 moves so that it is unwound from the reel 7 each time.

The electronic component delivery body 13 is provided with delivery recesses 16 at regular angular intervals, and each time the recess 2 of the tape 4 reaches the upper part of the electronic component delivery body 13, the recess 16 of the delivery body 13 closes to the tape 4. Since the delivery body 13 is synchronously driven so as to face the recesses 16 of and the delivery is completed.

The component 5 accommodated in the recess 16 at the top of the electronic component delivery body 13 is guided to the bottom while being prevented from falling off by the cover 17, and is supplied to a component receiving body (not shown).

In addition, in this device, in order to drop the part 5 more reliably,
A component dropping claw 18 is provided, and the tip of the claw 18 presses the convex portion 8 of the tape 4 in synchronization with the supply of the component 5.

As is clear from the above, according to this embodiment, the above (a)
It is possible to obtain the effects shown in items .

Further, since the electronic component 5 is simply placed in the recess 2, the electronic component 5 will fall naturally by turning the opening surface of the recess 2 downward.

Therefore, delivery of the electronic components 5 can be easily delayed.

Further, the pulley 9 is provided with teeth 10, and the convex portion 8 of the tape 4 is provided with teeth 10.
Since the convex portion 8 is used for feeding, the feeding of the tape 4 is easily controlled.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto and can be further modified.

For example, it is also applicable to sources for electronic components other than magnetic capacitors.

In addition, various types of electronic components 5 are placed in the recess 2 of the same tape 4.
may be stored in a predetermined order and supplied sequentially.
