Abstract

PURPOSE:To stably carry out the supply of electronic component parts of multi-kinds but in a small amount, and the required tests thereof upon supply of electronic component parts, by setting electronic component parts having lead wires on plates each having holes or the like into which the lead wires may be inserted, and by disposing the plates on which the electronic component parts are set into a stick before the component parts are fed. CONSTITUTION:An electronic component part 1 is set on a plate having holes, etc. in to which lead wires of the component part 1 may be inserted, and having a length and a width larger than those of the electronic component part 1, and is stored into a stick 6 made of, for example, plastic molding articles, etc. Under this condition electronic component parts are delivered to an assembly maker from a part maker. When a proof-temperature test, etc. in the assembly maker is made as an acceptance inspection, the lower or upper sections of the stick 6 is opened so that the test may be made while the electronic component parts 1 are stored in the stick 6. Further, the electronic component parts 1 fed in the stick 6 are caught one by one by means of a chuck 7 while the plate 4 are shifted onto a retrieving conveyor 8 so that they are fed to their respective predetermined positions.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention is an automatic electronic component insertion machine that inserts electronic components into a printed circuit board. ) relates to a parts supply method that provides parts supply suitable for.

[Background of the invention]

The conventional method of supplying electronic components using a stick is a method of storing electronic components directly in the stick. At the time of delivery to an assembly manufacturer from a component manufacturer that was unable to provide a stable supply due to lead wires getting tangled, contact between the inner wall of the stick and the electronic component body, or entanglement between the electronic component bodies, etc. During acceptance inspection, especially through high temperature aging test,
There was a drawback that the electronic component bodies in the stick that were in contact with each other could be joined. In addition, for electronic parts where it is difficult to recover the cost of stick molds because they are produced in small quantities, special sticks cannot be prepared, and automation has been delayed for some parts.

[Purpose of the invention]

The purpose of the present invention is to enable an electronic component automatic insertion machine that inserts electronic components into a printed circuit board to stably and sequentially supply electronic components, and to provide a temperature test for electronic components before insertion.
To prevent bonding between electronic component bodies and to provide a stable supply of components.

[Summary of the invention]

Recently, automation of electronic component insertion has extended to the field of irregularly shaped electronic components. However, because irregularly shaped electronic components have conventionally been inserted manually, they are often packaged in bulk or in trays when delivered to component manufacturers, making it extremely difficult to ensure the accuracy of lead wires in such packaging. Ta. Therefore, we have developed sticks rather than relatively simple shapes to meet the needs of automation, but conventional sticks can provide a stable supply of parts with high centers of gravity and parts that are easily tipped over, or parts with protrusions. It was impossible to do so, and the challenge was to provide a stable supply of these items.

[Embodiments of the invention]

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

The electronic component 1 has a hole or a recess into which a lead wire 3 can be inserted, is slightly larger in width and length than the electronic component, and is mounted on a plate 4 that slides stably and smoothly inside the stick, and is mounted on a plate 4 that can be stably and smoothly slid into the stick. It is housed in a stick 6 such as an extruded product. In this state, it is delivered from the parts manufacturer to the assembly manufacturer. In other words, it also serves as a returnable box. Also, when a temperature resistance test or a characteristic test is performed as an acceptance inspection at an assembly manufacturer, it is desirable that the lower or upper part of the stick be open so that the test can be performed while the stick is housed in the stick. The sticks containing a large number of electronic components delivered in the state shown in Figure 3 are stacked in the component supply section of an automatic insertion machine, and are sequentially supplied starting with the lowest stick connected to the chute section that sends it out to the supply positioning end. , the electronic component is supplied to the supply positioning end with the electronic component placed on the plate. Next, only the electronic components are chucked by the chuck 7 from the positioning end and transferred to a predetermined position. The plate with no electronic components is sent further forward or onto a lower recovery conveyor, and is recovered to a predetermined position by the recovery conveyor.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention: 1. It is possible to stably supply parts (hybrid film capacitors, etc.) that are unstably supplied in an electronic parts insertion machine.

2. Sharing of sticks By changing only the plate, it becomes possible to automatically supply small quantities of products that could not be automated in the past. Figure 5.

See Figure 6.

3. By preventing the amount of electronic components in the stick from coming into contact with each other, it is possible to prevent body bonding during high-temperature aging.

4. The lead wire of the electronic component can be protected by the plate until it is chucked, making it easier to ensure accuracy and improving the insertion success rate.
