It is configured like this.

In the automatic electronic component insertion machine configured in this way, the board P
A plurality of cartridges 10.
10... are arranged diagonally on the plate surface of the pedestal 11, and electronic components are individually supplied from the magazine 100 housed in each cartridge 10.10... and taken out from the mechanism section 2. After the lead wire is taken out in the horizontal direction, the lead wire is received by the insertion head 30 moved by the XY table 300 to the take-out position and inserted into the substrate P, and then the lead wire is cut and bent by the clinch mechanism unit 4 that is paired with the insertion head 30. As a result, the electronic component is inserted into the board P. During the operation, the electronic component supply mechanism l feeds the electronic components from the diagonally arranged cartridges 10, 10... to the shooter 1.
2, and the electronic components can be supplied one after another so that they are stopped by the stopper 13. The electronic component is clamped by the clamp 20 of the ejecting mechanism 2 and taken out horizontally, and when the magazine 100 located at the bottom of the cartridge 10, 10... By replacing the magazine with a component-containing magazine, electronic components can be continuously supplied.

In the electronic component extraction mechanism section 2, the transfer clamp 20 determines which of the plurality of parallelly arranged cartridges 10, 10... the electronic components are to be extracted from, according to a predetermined program.
drive cylinder 2 alternately to a predetermined position in the horizontal direction.
5 to move forward. First, when an electronic component slides onto the chute 12 from the magazine housed in the cartridge 10 at a predetermined position and is stopped by the stopper 13, the drive cylinder 21 is actuated to clamp the electronic component located on the chute 12. The clamp receiving jaw 20a and presser arm 20b are operated. At the same time, the longitudinal cylinder 25 is operated to extend its stroke, and the clamp 20 moves forward toward the insertion head 30 of the insertion mechanism section 3 waiting in front. At the beginning of this forward movement, the cam plate 24 gradually slides forward within the support frame 28 against the tension spring 27, and while the support plate 22 is gently moved downward along the cam groove 24a, it moves horizontally from the inclined position. Clamps 20 the electronic components from the shooter 12 by rotating.
It is held and pulled out by the receiving jaw 20a and presser arm 20b. With this operation, the stopper 13 is deflected downward and removed from the electronic component, and the shutter 14 moves downward to prevent the next electronic component from sliding into the shooter 12. When the receiving jaw 20a and presser arm 20b of the clamp 20 pull out the electronic component from the shooter 12, the support frame 22 becomes approximately horizontal inside the support frame 28, and the cam plate 24 is moved within the sliding tolerance of the support frame 28. Completes movement to forward position. When the cam plate 24 completes its forward movement within the support frame 28, the support frame 28 moves forward together with the cam plate 24, and the receiving jaw 20a of the clamp 20.

The insertion head 30 moves forward in a waiting direction while holding the electric parts '-f' in a horizontal state with the presser arm 20b. When the insertion head 30 moves to the standby position, the stopper 203 of the guide bar 29 comes into contact with the slide housing 201 and stops, and the electronic component is delivered to the guide arms 31 and 32 of the insertion head 30 which are in the opening operation at that position. ,
When transferring, the drive cylinder 21 is operated to open and move the receiving jaw 20a and the presser arm 20b, thereby releasing the clamp, inserting it into the guide arm 31.degree. 32 of the insertion head 30, and transferring it. Insertion head 30
Immediately after transferring the electronic component to the slide housing 201, the drive cylinder 25 moves backward until the stopper 202 comes into contact with the slide housing 201. After retreating, the cam plate 24 is moved back within the support frame 28 by the tension spring 27, and the stopper 204 comes into contact with an appropriate location on the machine frame 26 and stops. Along with this retreating movement, the shunter 14 moves upward in the electronic component supply structure 1 to feed the next electronic component to the chute 1.
2, and the clamp 20 receives the electronic component and waits until the actuation command of the drive cylinder 25 is received again. When the electronic component is transferred from the ejection mechanism section 2 to the guide arms 31 and 32 of the insertion head 30 and clamped,
The XY table 300 places the insertion head 3 at a predetermined position on the substrate P.
0 and the cylinder 317 of the insertion head 30 operates, thereby moving the insertion head 30 to the substrate P of the conveyor 5.
descend against. During the descent, the terminal pins of the electronic components will come down to a position where they almost come into contact with the board surface.
From this state, the push rod 36 moves downward together with the lifting rod 38 by the air pressure supplied to the air passage 315. The push rod 36 presses the electronic component held between the lower ends of the guide arms 31 and 32, and press-fits the terminal pin of the electronic component into the board. At this time, guide arm 3
1.32 holds the electronic component between the lower ends, and the push rod 3
6 is the drive cylinder 3 with electronic components approximately press-fitted into the board.
4.35 moves in the opening direction by the action of the compression spring 311 as the stroke moves backward. Electronic components inserted into the board are mounted by cutting the terminal pins to a predetermined length using the clinch mechanism 4 located below and bending them to the back surface. At the same time, the push rod 36 releases the air pressure. As a result, the compression spring 316 is activated to move upward, and in response to an electronic component insertion command according to the next program, the clamp 20 of the electronic component ejecting mechanism section 2 immediately moves to a position where it moves forward. .

In the clinch mechanism section 4, when the insertion head 30 inserts an electronic component into the substrate P, the drive cylinder 40B
As a result, the entire cut and clinch cylinder 403 moves upward via the lever 405. As the cylinder 403 rises, the bending mold 41 attached to the upper @ side
．． 42 also rises to receive the terminal pin of the electronic component within the space that remains expanded on the upper end side. Simultaneously with the acceptance, the cart and clinch cylinder 403 operates to insert the cam die 44 into the space between the lower ends of the bending dies 41.42, thereby bringing the upper ends of the bending dies 41.42 closer to each other. move in the direction. At this time, if electronic components are inserted into the board P, the terminal pins are cut to a predetermined protruding length at the upper end side of the bending die 41, 42, and the remaining pin portions are pressed and bent onto the back surface of the board P. During the pressing and bending, a reaction force acts from the terminal pin on the upper end side of the bending die 41.42, and when this reaction force acts, the detection pin 41 pressed by the cam die 44
7 is retracted and deflected so as to contact the terminal 416 against the compression spring 418. When the detection pin 417 contacts the terminal '416, the cam type 44
By closing the electronic component insertion detection circuit formed between the terminal 413 and the terminal 413, it is possible to detect the insertion of an electronic component. On the other hand, when there is a defective insertion of the electronic component, there is no terminal pin of the electronic component between the upper ends of the bending molds 41 and 42, and no reaction force is applied.
．． The upper end of the detection pin 417 is idle-operated, and the detection pin 417 remains held in a protruding state by the compression spring 418.

Therefore, since the detection pin 417 does not contact the terminal 416, the electronic component insertion detection circuit between the terminal 413 and the terminal 413 remains open, and it is possible to confirm that no electronic component is inserted. In response to the detection of this insertion failure, correction work can be performed on the mounting of electronic components, and all the boards on which electronic components have been correctly mounted are sequentially stacked and stored in a stacker box placed at the end of the conveyor 5. You can do it as you like.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the automatic insertion machine for irregularly shaped electronic components according to the present invention, even when carrying out the work of inserting several different types of irregularly shaped electronic components into a board, the electronic components can be supplied from each cartridge. Electronic components can be sent out by a take-out mechanism according to a predetermined program, and then inserted into a board by being sequentially received by an insertion head that moves to a desired position on an XY table, making it possible to perform mounting work extremely efficiently and at high speed. Furthermore, even if high-speed mounting is performed, the push rods can press the electronic components individually and insert them into the board, making it possible to reliably insert the electronic components into the board.
