Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a component arrangement device that arranges components supplied in a single row into a plurality of rows and mounts them on a conveyor.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 6 shows an apparatus for attaching terminal caps 4, 4 to both ends of a three-component main body 3 in the manufacturing process of capacitors and resistors. In this device.

First, component bodies 3, 3- are sequentially supplied at regular intervals from a parts feeder (not shown) or the like to the center of the circumferential surface of the rotating press-fitting foil 1. Next, terminal caps 4-4- with solder plating on the inside are supplied from both sides of the press-fitting foil 1, and these are press-fitted into both ends of the component bodies 3, 3- by plungers la, la. This press-fitted electronic I
The products 2, 2- are placed on the circumferential surface of the press-fitting foil 1 and rotated, and then are dropped onto the running conhair 5.

After being put on board 75 and passed through heating furnace 6,
cooled down. At this time, the solder is melted and then solidified, so that the one-component main body 3 and the terminal caps 4, 4 are soldered together.

Conventionally, in this device, the electronic components 2.2-.
are mounted in a row, and in this state the heating furnace 6
was being sent to.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

When passing the electronic components 2.2 and - through the heating furnace 6, each electronic component 2 is
．． 2- must be kept at a predetermined distance. Therefore, in the above-described method of arranging the electronic components 2, 2, etc. in a row on the conveyor 5, there is a limit to the number of electronic components 2, 2, etc. that can be mounted on the conveyor 5 per unit length. Therefore, the electronic components 2, 2- that pass through the heating furnace 6 per unit time
The only way to increase the number was to increase the speed of Conhair 5.

However, since soldering requires a certain heating temperature and time for the electronic components 2, 2, etc., increasing the speed of the heating furnace 5 requires a correspondingly long heating furnace 6. It becomes necessary. As the heating furnace 6 becomes longer, a corresponding length of the heater is required, which increases power consumption, increases the floor space occupied by the heating furnace 6, and makes temperature control difficult, among other problems. cause problems.

This invention has been made as a result of studies in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and provides a device that can mount parts supplied in a line on a container hair in a plurality of lines, The purpose of this is to make effective use of equipment within a limited space.

[Means for Solving the Problems and Embodiments] Hereinafter, the structure of the present invention will be explained in detail based on the illustrated embodiments.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the present invention, a double-row foil 17 is disposed on a conveyor 15 that carries electronic components 12, 12, . . . and conveys them to a heating furnace 16. In the illustrated embodiment, there are two parts: a press-fitting foil 11 into which terminal caps 14, 14- are press-fitted into both ends of the main body 13, and electronic parts 12, which are supplied from the press-fitting foil 14 in a line.
12- to the conveyor 15 that sends it to the heating furnace 16.
The double row foil 17 is arranged.

The structure of this double-row foil 17 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. On the circumferential surface of the double-row foil 17, there is a component that receives electronic components 12 and 12- that fall one by one from the press-fit foil 11 above. Storage grooves 18, 18- are provided at regular intervals. In the double-row foil 17 shown in FIG.
．． 18 is provided with a slope such that the groove gradually becomes deeper from the center to the sides. In addition, these parts storage grooves 1
8. I8- is closed on the sides by side plates 20.20 fixed to both sides of the double-row foil 17.

On the other hand, the double-row foil 17 shown in FIG.
In addition to ts and ta-, there are storage grooves 19, 19-, which have no slope, provided in the center of one circumferential surface, and there are storage grooves 19, 19-, etc. on both sides with the storage grooves 19, 19-, etc. in between. The storage grooves 18 degrees 18 having slopes are arranged alternately.

In addition, it stores 3 parts! 18.1 In addition to the rectangular cross-section shown in Figure 2, the shape of the total 18.1- should be an appropriate shape, such as a semi-circular cross-section or a letter shape, depending on the shape of the electronic components 12.12-... to be handled. Can be done.

The double-row foil 17 is located directly below the press-fitting foil 11 and above the conveyor 15, and is rotated in accordance with the speed of the press-fitting foil 11. On the peripheral surface side of this double-row foil 17, there is a conveyor 15 from the press-fitting foil II.
The guide plates 21 are arranged one and a half times around the circumference.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the double row foil 17
Although only one stage is provided between the press-fitting foil 11 and the conveyor 15, in the embodiment shown in FIG. i5, double row foils 17 are provided in two stages. That is, there is 1 under the press-fit foil 17.
One stage double-row foil 17 is arranged, and further below this double-row foil 17 two second-stage double row foils 17.17 are arranged in parallel. Similarly, double row foil 17
It is also possible to arrange them in three or four stages.

[For production]

In the apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the press-fit foil 11
An electronic component 12゜12-... sent from
It was collected on 8.18.- and 19.19-.

Here, in the case of the double row foil 17 shown in FIG.

The electronic components 12, 12, and 12 follow this gradient because the component storage units 18, 18, and - are provided with an alternating slope that gradually becomes deeper from the center to both sides.

They are distributed to both sides of the double-row foil 17, respectively. In this state, as shown in FIG. 2, the electronic components 12, 12, . Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the electronic components 12, 12- are mounted on the converter 15 in two rows arranged alternately on the left and right sides. Furthermore, in the case of the double-row foil 17 shown in FIG. .12'- are mounted on the conhair 15 in three rows.

On the other hand, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, electronic components 1'2.
12- is first distributed to both sides of the first-stage double-row foil 17, and then the electronic components 12.12- on both sides are distributed to the two sides.
Each row of double row foils 17.17.
It is distributed to both sides of 17.

Therefore, the electronic components 12.12- are placed on the conveyor 15.
They are loaded in rows. Similarly, when the double-row foils 17 are arranged in three or four stages, the electronic components 12.
12- can be arranged in 8 or 16 columns.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, in a continuous supply mechanism for two parts, parts arranged in a line and fed can be mounted on the conveyor 15 in a plurality of rows. Therefore, in the process of attaching the terminal cap of electronic component 12.12-, for example, electronic component 12.12-
Electronic components 12.12 that can be mounted on a conhair 15 per unit length while maintaining the interval between -=- at a predetermined distance
...- can be increased several times, and using a heating furnace 16 of the same length as before, it is possible to improve the productivity of the soldering process, which takes up limited space. You will be able to use the equipment more effectively inside.
