Abstract

PURPOSE:To ensure the folding, bending and housing of a tape to which electronic circuit elements or the like are stuck, by automating the delivery, traversing, folding and housing of the tape as a series of operation. CONSTITUTION:A tape 2 to which diodes or the like are stuck at prescribed intervals is sent out by a folded quantity, without being given any folding line, by a delivery section 3. At the same time, the traversing arm 8 of a traverser 5 is swung about a fulcrum 7 to traverse the tape 2 on a housing jig 10 to place the tape in a roughly folding position. A folding arm 9a or 9b is swung back and forth for about 90 deg. by a rotary shaft 11 synchronously with the traversing of the tape. A folding arm 12 then pushes the tape 2 toward the bottom of the housing jig 10 to bend the tape and fold its already-bent lower portion further. The housing jig 10 is moved down by a motor 16 according as the folded quantity of the tape 2 increases.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] - The present invention relates to a folding storage technology, in particular, it is effective when electronic components such as diodes and resistors are attached to tape (taping) and the tape is folded and stored. Regarding folding storage technology.

[Background Art] When packaging electronic components such as diodes or resistors for shipping, it is conceivable to attach one portion of the Q-toe on both ends to tape and wrap the electronic components with tape. - In that case, it is conceivable to make creases in advance on the tape at predetermined folding positions at predetermined intervals, then fold the tape using the creases as weak points for folding during storage, and store it in a predetermined box. In this case, in order to make it easier for the tape to break at the weak point during storage, it is necessary to distribute the storage boxes to the left and right in synchronization with storage.

However, with this technology, it is difficult to increase the difference in bending strength between the fold A'63 part of the tape and the other parts.
This is extremely difficult because the strength of the tape itself is significantly reduced. Therefore, it will bend at a position other than the crease υ part, and once it is bent at a position that is shifted from the crease,
The inventors have discovered that all the cases thereafter become misaligned and cannot be stored.

Also, it is possible to change the tape material by making it harder or using kraft paper on one side, but the real problem is that the creases make it difficult to distinguish one part from the other. Revealed by the inventor.

[Object of the Invention] An object of the present invention is to provide a technique that can reliably fold or bend a tape material and store it.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a technique that enables reliable folding and storage regardless of the material of the tape.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a technique that allows accurate folding and storage without the need to pre-crease the tape.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a technique that allows folding and storage at fixed pitches.

The above and other objects and novel features of the present invention will become apparent from the description of this specification and the accompanying drawings.
