Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable width adjustment to be systemized by allowing an adjustment device for the width of a container containing printed circuit boards to be effected by means of data inputted from either an outside control unit or a manual control. CONSTITUTION:After a magazine has been positioned in a width adjustment device, data required are inputted from either an outside control unit or a manual control section. The inputted data allows bolt adjustment units 6 and 6' which correspond to a bolt 4, to move to the position of the bolt 4 with a motor 9 driven permitting an air cylinder 7 to be forwarded. This allows a rotating connector 8 to be screwed in a hole made on the side of the bolt 4. Subsequently, a rod of the air cylinder 7 is rotated allowing the bolt 4 to be loosened, then, the bolt adjustment units 6 and 6' are moved and positioned. Subsequently, the bolts 4 and 4' are fastened allowing a movable side plate 1' to be fixed, then, the cylinder 7 is retracted. This configuration enables the automation of width adjustment to be systemized.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to automatic adjustment of the storage width of a printed circuit board storage magazine used in an automatic electronic component insertion device.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, there was no automatic adjustment device of this kind, and jigs, etc. were used.
It was checked manually.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

For this reason, in automatic electronic component mounting systems for high-mix, low-volume printed circuit boards, it is necessary to manually adjust the magazine width every time the external dimensions of the printed circuit board change. The disadvantage is that it is not possible.

[Means for solving problems]

The automatic magazine width adjustment device of the present invention has a function of automatically adjusting the width of a printed circuit board accommodation magazine accommodated in a mechanism section via a control section based on data from an external control device or manually input data.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a printed board storage magazine in which the storage width is automatically adjusted according to the present invention, and shows paces 2 and 2' having lengths 3 for variable width, four pillars 5, fixed side plates 1, and movable sides. Plate'' and movable side play) L'
It consists of four bolts 4 that fix the.

FIG. 2 is a side view of one embodiment of the mechanism part of the present invention, 6'6
'' is a bolt adjustment part with an air cylinder 7°7' that has a connection 88.8' for rotation of the bolt 4 and performs a combined movement of linear movement and rotation, and 9, 9' is a bolt adjustment part 6 with screws to and to'. , 6' are motors tt and z' are clamps for positioning the printed board storage magazine, [2
The pace is 6.

FIG. 3 is a professional diagram of the present invention, in which 100 is an automatic magazine width adjustment device, 101 is a mechanism section, 102 is a control section, 03 is a motor controller, 04 is a sequencer, 105 is an external input interface, 106 is a manual input section;
107 is an external control device that controls the automatic magazine adjustment device 100 from the outside.

Next, the operation and usage of the present invention will be explained.

First, as shown in FIG. 2, the printed board storage magazine shown in FIG.
, t t' to position the printed board storage magazine, and according to the data input from the external control device 107.6 or the manual input section 106, the bolt adjustment parts 6° 6' corresponding to the four sets of bolts 4 are adjusted by the motor 9. Move it to the position of Sivolt 4, move the air cylinder 7 forward,
Insert the rotating connection part 8 into the hole of the bolt 4. Next, rotate the mouth and do of the air cylinder 7, loosen the bolts, move the four sets of bolt adjustment parts to the position where the % adjustment is to be made at the same time, tighten the bolt 1, tighten the movable side plate 1', and tighten the air cylinder 7. 7 and complete the adjustment.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention can automatically adjust the width of the magazine for storing printed circuit boards, so it can be used in combination with the automatic rail width changing device of the conventional automatic component insertion device. This has the effect of making it possible to automatically mount electronic components on a line and unmanned.
