That is, the electronic component supply apparatus 1 according to the present invention can be realized such that the electronic component is positioned at the pick-up position (PP, shown in FIG. 4) at a position higher than the standby position WP. Accordingly, the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention can reduce the height at which the storage mechanism 21 protrudes above the pickup position PP by increasing the position of the pickup position PP. Therefore, the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention can reduce the degree to which the mounter head 11 (shown in Fig. 1) is interfered with the storage mechanism 21, so that the mounter head 11 Can pick up the electronic component at the pick-up position PP and mount the electronic component on the substrate S (shown in Fig. 1).

4 to 10, the loading unit 3 includes a loading mechanism 31 for supporting the stick feeder 100 and a moving mechanism 32 for moving the loading mechanism 31 .

The loading mechanism (31) is coupled to the support (4). The loading mechanism 31 may be coupled to the support 4 so as to be positioned beside the storage mechanism 21. The loading mechanism 31 is rotatably coupled to the supporting portion 4 about a loading rotary shaft 31a (shown in FIG. 8). The loading mechanism 31 may be rotatably coupled to the support 4 by a shaft. In this case, the shaft can function as the loading rotary shaft 31a.

The loading mechanism 31 is moved in the first rotational direction RD1 (shown in Fig. 9) and the second rotational direction RD2 (shown in Fig. 8) about the loading rotary shaft 31a by the moving mechanism 32, To be rotatable with respect to the support 4. The second rotation direction RD2 is opposite to the first rotation direction RD1. The loading mechanism 31 is rotated in the first rotation direction RD1 by the moving mechanism 32 to move the stick feeder 100 located at the feeding position SP to the loading position LP . The loading mechanism 31 can horizontally support the stick feeder 100 positioned at the loading position LP. The horizontal state means a direction parallel to the bottom surface on which the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention is installed. The bottom surface may be a surface for supporting the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention in the supporting means 300 (shown in Fig. 2). The horizontal state may refer to a direction parallel to a bottom surface on which the mounter 200 (shown in FIG. 2) is installed. Accordingly, the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention can achieve the following operational effects.

When the loading mechanism 31 supports the stick feeder 100 positioned at the loading position LP in a state in which the stick feeder 100 is tilted at a predetermined angle while feeding the electronic component to the pickup position PP, Electronic components located at the position PP are pressed by their own weight to the remaining electronic components (hereinafter referred to as 'standby components') accommodated in the stick feeder 100. As a result, the electronic part located at the pick-up position PP is caught by the standby part with a considerable force between the standby part and the supporting part 4 due to the pushing force of the standby part. Therefore, if the mounter head 11 (shown in Fig. 1) does not attract the electronic part located at the pick-up position PP with considerable force, it fails to pick up the electronic part located at the pick-up position PP . Since the electronic part located at the pick-up position PP is interposed between the standby part and the support part 4 with considerable force, the mount head 11 (shown in FIG. 1) Even when picking up the electronic components located in the main body of the vehicle. Thereby, the electronic parts picked up in the mounter head 11 (shown in Fig. 1) are separated from the mounter head 11 (shown in Fig. 1) due to vibration and shaking, have.

Next, when the loading mechanism 31 horizontally supports the stick feeder 100 positioned at the loading position LP while feeding the electronic component to the pick-up position PP, The electronic parts located in the pick-up position PP are not pushed. Accordingly, the mounter head 11 (shown in Fig. 1) can easily pick up the electronic parts located in the pickup position PP. Therefore, the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention can prevent an error in picking up the electronic component from the mount head 11 (shown in Fig. 1) due to the weight of the standby component, It is possible to improve the accuracy of the operation of mounting the semiconductor device. In the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention, since the electronic component positioned at the pick-up position PP is not sandwiched between the standby component and the support portion 4, the mount head 11 (Not shown) can pick up the electronic components located at the pick-up position PP, and reduce the degree of vibration, shake, vibration and shaking. Therefore, the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention can stably pick up and move the electronic component by the mount head 11 (shown in Fig. 1), thereby preventing loss of the electronic component have.

Although not shown, the loading mechanism 31 may support the stick feeder 100 such that the stick feeder 100 positioned at the loading position LP is maintained at a predetermined angle in a horizontal state. In this case, the angle at which the stick feeder 100 is tilted is an angle at which the weight of the standby component reduces the force applied to the electronic component located at the pick-up position PP, It is an angle within the range in which the electronic component can normally be picked up. For example, the loading mechanism 31 supports the stick feeder 100 such that the stick feeder 100 positioned at the loading position LP is maintained at an angle of less than 10 degrees with respect to the horizontal state . Preferably, the loading mechanism 31 supports the stick feeder 100 so that the stick feeder 100 positioned at the loading position LP is maintained at an angle of 5 ° or less with respect to the horizontal state, can do.

8 to 10, the loading mechanism 31 is rotated in the first rotation direction RD1 about the loading rotary shaft 31a by the moving mechanism 32, The stick feeder 100 can be moved upward to the loading position LP. In this case, the loading mechanism 31 is raised as it is rotated in the first rotation direction RD1 about the loading rotary shaft 31a, thereby raising the stick feeder 100. The loading mechanism 31 may be erected so as to be parallel to the vertical direction (Z-axis direction). Accordingly, after the stick feeder 100 positioned at the supply position SP is transferred from the standby position (WP, shown in FIG. 6) to the supply position SP by the supply unit 2, The loading mechanism 31 is positioned at the loading position LP by rotating in the first rotational direction RD1 about the loading rotary shaft 31a as the loading mechanism 31 rotates in the first rotational direction RD1. In this case, the loading mechanism 31 rotates the stick feeder 100 such that the stick feeder 100 rotates from the feeding position SP to the loading position LP about the loading rotary shaft 31a, (100). The loading mechanism 31 is configured to move the stick feeder 100 positioned at the loading position LP while the electronic component is being supplied from the screw feeder 100 positioned at the loading position LP to the pickup position PP. .

The loading mechanism 31 is rotated by the moving mechanism 32 in the second rotational direction RD2 about the loading rotary shaft 31a so that the feeding mechanism 2 is rotated at the standby position WP And is positioned at a position capable of supporting the stick feeder 100 conveyed to the feed position SP. The loading mechanism 31 can be laid down as it is rotated in the second rotation direction RD2 about the loading rotary shaft 31a. In this case, the loading mechanism 31 may be laid down so as to be positioned between the vertical direction (Z-axis direction) and the horizontal direction perpendicular to the vertical direction (Z-axis direction). When the loading mechanism 31 supports the stick feeder 100 located at the loading position LP, the stick feeder 100 moves the loading mechanism 31 in the second rotational direction RD2 And may be spaced from the loading position LP as it is rotated.

The loading mechanism 31 may include a first loading frame 311 rotatably coupled to the support unit 4 and a loading member 312 coupled to the first loading frame 311.

The first loading frame 311 may be coupled to the support 4 rotatably about the loading rotary shaft 31a. The first loading frame 311 may be rotatably coupled to the support portion 4 through one side of the shaft. The moving mechanism 32 is coupled to the first loading frame 311. The moving mechanism 32 can move the stick feeder 100 from the feeding position SP to the loading position LP by moving the first loading frame 311. [ The first loading frame 311 may be erected by rotating in the first rotational direction RD1. The first loading frame 311 may be laid down by rotating in the second rotational direction RD2. The first loading frame 311 may be formed as a generally rectangular parallelepiped.

The loading member 312 supports the stick feeder 100. As the first loading frame 311 rotates around the loading rotary shaft 31a in a state where the loading member 312 supports the stick feeder 100, Can be moved from the position SP to the loading position LP. The ejecting unit 5 may be coupled to the loading member 312. The ejecting part 5 is positioned at the loading position LP of the stick feeder 100 while the loading member 312 supports the stick feeder 100 positioned at the loading position LP. The electronic part can be transferred to the pick-up position PP by jetting gas inside. The loading member 312 may be coupled to the other side of the first loading frame 311. The loading member 312 may be formed in a rectangular plate as a whole.

The loading mechanism 31 may further include a second loading frame 313 that is rotatably coupled to the support portion 4.

The second loading frame 313 is rotatably coupled to the support 4 at a position spaced from the first loading frame 313. The second loading frame 313 may be rotatably coupled to the support portion 4 through one side of the shaft. The loading member 312 may be coupled to the other side of the second loading frame 313. Accordingly, the second loading frame 313 rotates together with the moving mechanism 32 moving the first loading frame 313, thereby moving the stick feeder 100 supported by the loading member 312 To the loading position (LP). The second loading frame 313 may be erected by rotating in the first rotational direction RD1. The second loading frame 313 can be laid down by rotating in the second rotation direction RD2. The second loading frame 313 may be formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape as a whole. The loading member 312 may be rotatably coupled to the second loading frame 313 and the first loading frame 311, respectively. Accordingly, when the second loading frame 313 and the second loading frame 311 are rotated as the moving mechanism 32 moves the first loading frame 311, And can be moved while maintaining the horizontal state.

4 to 10, the moving mechanism 32 moves the loading mechanism 31 such that the loading mechanism 31 rotates about the loading rotary shaft 31a. The moving mechanism 32 moves the loading mechanism 31 in the first direction (D arrow direction, shown in Fig. 9) to rotate the loading mechanism 31 in the first rotating direction RD1 . Accordingly, the loading mechanism 31 is raised so that the stick feeder 100 positioned at the feeding position SP is moved to the loading position LP. The first direction (D arrow direction) is the same direction as the transport direction (A arrow direction, shown in Fig. 3). The moving mechanism 32 moves the loading mechanism 31 in the second direction (E direction shown in FIG. 8) to rotate the loading mechanism 31 in the second rotating direction RD2 . Accordingly, the loading mechanism 31 is laid such that the stick feeder 100 positioned at the loading position LP is spaced apart from the loading position LP. The second direction (E arrow direction) is opposite to the first direction (D arrow direction). The moving mechanism (32) can be coupled to the support part (4).

The moving mechanism 32 can move the loading mechanism 31 so that the loading mechanism 31 rotates about the loading rotary shaft 31a using a cylinder system using a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder. In this case, the moving mechanism 32 may include a cylinder 321 and a connecting member 322.

The cylinder (321) is coupled to the support (4). The cylinder 321 moves the loading mechanism 31 in the first rotational direction RD1 and the second rotational direction RD by moving the cylinder rod in the first direction (D arrow direction) and the second direction (E arrow direction) It can be rotated in the two rotation directions (RD2).

One side of the connecting member 322 is coupled to the cylinder 321, and the other side is coupled to the loading mechanism 31. One side of the connecting member 322 is rotatably coupled to the cylinder rod of the cylinder 341. Accordingly, when the cylinder 321 moves the cylinder rod in the first direction (the arrow D direction) and the second direction (the arrow E direction), the connecting member 322 contacts the portion So that the loading mechanism 31 can be rotated in the first rotation direction RD1 and the second rotation direction RD2. The other side of the connecting member 322 may be coupled to the first loading frame 311. In this case, the connecting member 322 rotates the first loading frame 311 about the loading rotary shaft 31a by the cylinder 321, thereby rotating the loading member 312 and the second loading frame 311, (313) can be moved.

Although not shown, the moving mechanism 32 may be a belt type using a pulley and a belt, a rack pinion gear type using a rack gear and a pinion gear, a ball screw type using a ball screw and a ball nut, a cam type using a cam member, And a linear motor system using permanent magnets may be used to move the loading mechanism 31.

11 to 15, the loading unit 3 may further include a reference mechanism 33 to which the loading mechanism 31 is rotatably coupled.

The reference mechanism 33 is coupled to the support portion 4 so as to rotate about the loading rotary shaft 31a after the loading mechanism 31 moves a predetermined distance in the first direction (direction of arrow D). Accordingly, the jetting unit 5 is coupled to the stick feeder 100 positioned at the feeding position SP as the loading mechanism 31 moves a predetermined distance in the first direction (direction of arrow D) , The loading mechanism 31 rotates together with the stick feeder 100 and is positioned at the loading position LP as the loading mechanism 31 rotates in the first rotation direction RD1 about the loading rotary shaft 31a. Accordingly, the jetting unit 5 can move the electronic component to the pickup position PP (shown in FIG. 4) by injecting gas into the stick feeder 100 positioned at the loading position LP have.

Accordingly, the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention can be applied to an operation of coupling the jetting section 5 to the stick feeder 100 positioned at the feeding position SP by using one moving mechanism 32 And moving the stick feeder 100 positioned at the feed position SP to the loading position LP. Therefore, the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention is characterized in that the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention is different from the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention in that the power source for moving the jetting section 5 and the power source for moving the stick feeder 100 are separately provided, Not only can it be saved, but also the ease of maintenance can be improved by simplifying the structure.

The reference mechanism 33 may include a reference member 331 and a first stopper 332.

The reference member 331 may be movably coupled to the support portion 4. The loading mechanism 31 is coupled to the reference member 331. Accordingly, when the moving mechanism 32 moves the loading mechanism 31 in the first direction (D-arrow direction) and the second direction (E-arrow direction), the reference member 331 moves to the loading mechanism (Direction of arrow D) and in the second direction (direction of arrow E) as the movable member 31 moves. The reference member 331 may be movably coupled to the support portion 4 in a straight line. In this case, the reference member 331 may be linearly coupled to the support portion 4 via an LM Guide Block and an LM Guide Rail. The loading mechanism 31 may be rotatably coupled to the reference member 331 through the shaft about the loading rotary shaft 31a.

The first stopper 332 is coupled to the support portion 4. The first stopper 332 rotates in the first rotation direction RD1 about the loading rotary shaft 31a after the loading mechanism 31 moves a predetermined distance in the first direction And supports the reference member 331. The stick feeder 100 positioned at the feeding position SP may be rotated about the loading rotary shaft 31a after the jetting unit 5 is coupled and positioned at the loading position LP . Specifically, it is as follows.

11, the loading mechanism 31 is laid down as it moves in the second direction (arrow E direction) by the moving mechanism 32. As shown in Fig. In this case, the reference member 331 is positioned away from the first stopper 332 in the second direction (arrow E direction). In this state, when the feeding section 3 moves the stick feeder 100 positioned at the standby position (WP, shown in FIG. 6) to the feeding position SP, The stick feeder (100) is supported by the loading mechanism (31). The stick feeder 100 positioned at the feeding position SP may be supported by the loading member 312 at one side and the supporting member 4 at the other side.

Next, as shown in Fig. 12, the moving mechanism 32 moves the loading mechanism 31 in the first direction (D arrow direction). Accordingly, the reference member 331 is supported by the first stopper 332 by moving in the first direction (direction of arrow D). In this case, the loading mechanism 31 moves linearly in the first direction (arrow D direction) until the reference member 331 is supported by the first stopper 332. 14, the jetting unit 5 is coupled to the stick feeder 100 located at the feed position SP, thereby allowing the gas to be injected into the stick feeder 100 .

Next, as shown in FIG. 13, after the reference member 331 is supported by the first stopper 322, the moving mechanism 32 moves the loading mechanism 31 in the first direction , The loading mechanism 31 is raised by rotating in the first rotation direction RD1 about the loading rotary shaft 31a. The moving mechanism 32 can not move the loading mechanism 31 to the first stopper 332 because the reference member 331 can no longer move in the first direction This is because the linear motion that moves in one direction (the direction of the arrow D) is converted into the rotational motion. 15, the stick feeder 100 positioned at the feeding position SP is moved to the loading position LP while the jetting unit 5 is engaged. When the stick feeder 100 is positioned at the loading position LP, the jetting unit 5 ejects the gas to the inside of the stick feeder 100, Lt; / RTI >

13 to 18, the reference mechanism 33 is configured to rotate the loading mechanism 31 about the loading rotary shaft 31a after moving the loading mechanism 31 a predetermined distance in the second direction (arrow E direction) Is coupled to the support (4). The jetting unit 5 moves the sticking unit 100 along with the stick feeder 100 positioned at the loading position LP as the loading mechanism 31 moves a predetermined distance in the second direction (E arrow direction), the loading mechanism 31 is rotated together with the loading rotary shaft 31a as it rotates in the second rotational direction RD2, thereby moving the stick feeder 100 Separated. Therefore, the stick feeder 100 can be switched from the electronic part supply apparatus 1 according to the present invention to a state in which it can be discharged.

Accordingly, the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention is capable of performing the operation of separating the jetting section 5 from the stick feeder 100 by using one moving mechanism 32 and the operation of separating the stick feeder 100 And is capable of performing an operation of switching to a dischargeable state. Therefore, compared with the case where the power supply for moving the jetting unit 5 and the power source for switching the stick feeder 100 to a dischargeable state are separately provided, Not only can the cost and operating cost be reduced, but also the maintenance easiness can be improved by simplifying the structure. For this, the reference mechanism 33 may include a second stopper 333.

The second stopper 333 is coupled to the support portion 4. The second stopper 333 rotates in the second rotation direction RD1 about the loading rotary shaft 31a after the loading mechanism 31 moves a predetermined distance in the second direction And supports the reference member 331. Accordingly, the stick feeder 100 positioned at the loading position LP can be switched from the electronic part feeding device 1 according to the present invention to the ejectable state after being separated from the ejecting part 5. Specifically, it is as follows.

First, as shown in Fig. 13, the loading mechanism 31 is in a raised state to support the stick feeder 100 (shown in Fig. 15) located at the loading position (LP, shown in Fig. 15). In this case, the reference member 331 is spaced apart from the second stopper 333 in the first direction (direction of arrow D).

Next, as shown in Fig. 16, the moving mechanism 32 moves the loading mechanism 31 in the second direction (arrow E direction). The moving mechanism 32 is moved to the loading position LP when the electronic component stored in the stick feeder 100 (shown in Fig. 15) located at the loading position LP (shown in Fig. 15) 15) located in the loading position (LP, shown in FIG. 15), such as when electronic parts housed in a stick feeder 100 (shown in FIG. 15) 15), it is possible to move the loading mechanism 31 in the second direction (arrow E direction). The reference member 331 moves in the second direction (arrow E direction) as the moving mechanism 32 moves the loading mechanism 31 in the second direction (arrow E direction) And is supported by the second stopper 333. In this case, the loading mechanism 31 moves linearly in the second direction (arrow E direction) until the reference member 331 is supported by the second stopper 333.

17, after the reference member 331 is supported by the second stopper 333, the moving mechanism 32 moves the loading mechanism 31 in the second direction (arrow E direction , The loading mechanism 31 is laid down by rotating in the second rotational direction RD2 about the loading rotary shaft 31a. The moving mechanism 32 can not move the loading mechanism 31 in the second direction (direction of the arrow E) because the reference member 331 can be moved further in the second direction This is because the linear motion that moves in two directions (E arrow direction) is converted into rotational motion. 18, the stick feeder 100 positioned at the loading position LP is separated from the jetting unit 5, and thus the stick feeder 100 can be ejected from the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention, State. The stick feeder 100 separated from the jetting unit 5 can be discharged by being dropped from the loading member 312 and falling by gravity to pass through the supporting unit 4. [

Although not shown, the loading unit 3 may further include a spring coupled to the loading mechanism 31. One end of the spring may be coupled to the second loading frame 313 and the other end may be coupled to the reference member 331. The spring may be coupled to have a restoring force in a direction to rotate the second loading frame 313 in the second rotation direction RD2. Accordingly, when the moving mechanism 32 continuously moves the loading mechanism 31 in the second direction (arrow E direction) after the reference member 331 is supported by the second stopper 333 , The spring may pull the second loading frame 313 with a restoring force so that the second loading frame 313 rotates in the second rotational direction RD2. Therefore, the spring can function to smoothly rotate the loading mechanism 31 in the second rotation direction RD2.

Referring to FIGS. 4 to 18, the support portion 4 supports the stick feeder 100. The support part (4) supports the other side of the stick feeder (100). The support portion 4 supports the other side of the stick feeder 100 that is fed to the feeding position SP by the feeding portion 2. [ The support part 4 supports the other side of the stick feeder 100 fed from the feed position SP to the loading position LP by the loading mechanism 31. The supporting portion 4 is positioned at the loading position LP while the jetting portion 5 conveys the electronic component from the stick feeder 100 located at the loading position LP to the pickup position PP. And supports the other side of the stick feeder 100. The supply unit 2 and the loading unit 3 may be coupled to the support unit 4.

The support part 4 may include a main body 41 for supporting the supply part 2 and the loading part 3. The supply unit 2 and the loading unit 3 are coupled to the main body 41 at a predetermined distance from each other. The loading mechanism 31, the moving mechanism 32, and the reference mechanism 33 are installed on the upper side of the main body 41.

A discharge hole 411 (shown in FIG. 18) for discharging the stick feeder 100 separated from the jetting unit 5 is formed in the main body 41. The discharge hole 411 is formed through the main body 41. Accordingly, when the loading mechanism 31 is rotated in the second rotational direction RD2 as the moving mechanism 32 moves the loading mechanism 31 in the second direction (arrow E direction) The stick feeder 100 located at the loading position LP is separated from the separating part 5 while moving a predetermined distance in the second direction (direction of arrow E), and then passes through the discharge hole 411, Can be discharged to the lower side of the discharge port (41). Therefore, the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention can supply the stick feeder 100 in which the electronic parts are exhausted, the stick feeder 100, As shown in FIG. The discharge hole 411 may be formed in a rectangular plate as a whole, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The discharge hole 411 may be formed in any other shape as long as it can pass the stick feeder 100. The discharge hole 411 may be formed to have a larger size than the stick feeder 100.

The support portion 4 may include a support mechanism 42 (shown in FIG. 8) for supporting one side of the stick feeder 100.

The support mechanism (42) is coupled to the main body (41). The support mechanism 42 may be coupled to the body 41 so as to be positioned next to the storage mechanism 21. The support mechanism 42 may be coupled to the main body 41 at a predetermined distance from the loading mechanism 31 in the first direction (direction of arrow D). The support mechanism 42 is rotatably coupled to the main body 41 about a support rotary shaft 42a (shown in Fig. 8). The support mechanism 42 may be rotatably coupled to the body 41 by a shaft. In this case, the shaft can function as the support rotary shaft 42a.

The support mechanism 42 rotates the support shaft 42a in the first rotation direction RD1 (shown in FIG. 9) and the support shaft 42a as the movement mechanism 32 moves the loading mechanism 31, And can be rotatably coupled to the main body 41 in the second rotational direction RD2 (shown in Fig. 8). The support mechanism 42 may be rotated in the first rotation direction RD1 as the movement mechanism 32 rotates the loading mechanism 31 in the first rotation direction RD1. In this case, the support mechanism 42 is pushed by the stick feeder 100, which is transported from the supply position SP to the loading position LP, by the loading mechanism 31 to rotate in the first rotation direction RD1 Can be rotated. The stick feeder 100 located at the supply position SP is supported by the supporting mechanism 42 in such a state that one side is supported by the loading mechanism 31 and the other side is supported by the supporting mechanism 42, (LP). ≪ / RTI >

The support mechanism 42 and the loading mechanism 31 can horizontally support the stick feeder 100 positioned at the loading position LP. Accordingly, the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention prevents an error in picking up the electronic component from the mount head 11 (shown in Fig. 1) due to the weight of the standby component, It is possible to improve the accuracy of the operation of mounting the parts. In the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention, since the electronic component positioned at the pick-up position PP is not sandwiched between the standby component and the main body 41, the mount head 11 (Not shown) can pick up the electronic components located at the pick-up position PP, and reduce the degree of vibration, shake, vibration and shaking. Therefore, the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention can stably pick up and move the electronic component by the mount head 11 (shown in Fig. 1), thereby preventing loss of the electronic component have.

Although not shown, the support mechanism 42 and the loading mechanism 31 are configured such that the stick feeder 100 positioned at the loading position LP is maintained in a state of being inclined at a predetermined angle in a horizontal state, ). ≪ / RTI > In this case, the angle at which the stick feeder 100 is tilted is an angle at which the weight of the standby component reduces the force applied to the electronic component located at the pick-up position PP, It is an angle within the range in which the electronic component can normally be picked up. For example, the support mechanism 42 and the loading mechanism 31 may be configured such that the stick feeder 100 positioned at the loading position LP is maintained at an inclined angle of 5 degrees or less with respect to the horizontal state, The feeder 100 can be supported.

The supporting mechanism 42 is configured to move the loading mechanism 31 in the first direction (arrow D direction) by moving the moving mechanism 32 in the first rotating direction RD1, the stick feeder 100 positioned at the feeding position SP can be moved up to the loading position LP. In this case, the support mechanism 42 is raised as it rotates about the support rotary shaft 42a in the first rotation direction RD1, so that the stick feeder 100 can be raised. The support mechanism 42 may be erected so as to be parallel to the vertical direction (Z-axis direction). Accordingly, after the stick feeder 100 positioned at the supply position SP is transferred from the standby position (WP, shown in FIG. 6) to the supply position SP by the supply unit 2, The support mechanism 42 is positioned at the loading position LP by rotating in the first rotation direction RD1 about the support rotation axis 42a as the support mechanism 42 rotates in the first rotation direction RD1. In this case, the support mechanism 42 rotates the stick feeder 100 such that the stick feeder 100 rotates from the feed position SP to the loading position LP about the support rotary shaft 42a while maintaining the horizontal state, (100). The support mechanism 42 is configured to move the stick feeder 100 positioned at the loading position LP while the electronic component is being supplied from the screw feeder 100 positioned at the loading position LP to the pickup position PP. As shown in Fig.

The supporting mechanism 42 is configured to move the supporting mechanism 42 in the second rotating direction (the direction of the arrow E) by moving the supporting mechanism 42 in the second direction RD2 so as to be positioned at a position capable of supporting the stick feeder 100 conveyed from the standby position WP to the feed position SP by the feeder 2. [ The support mechanism 42 may be laid down as it rotates about the support rotary shaft 42a in the second rotation direction RD2. In this case, the support mechanism 42 can be laid down so as to be positioned between the vertical direction (Z-axis direction) and the horizontal direction perpendicular to the vertical direction (Z-axis direction). When the support mechanism 42 supports the stick feeder 100 positioned at the loading position LP, the stick feeder 100 moves the support mechanism 42 in the second rotation direction RD2 And is separated from the support mechanism 42 as it rotates, so that it can be dropped by gravity and can be discharged through the discharge hole 411.

The support mechanism 42 may include a first support frame 421 rotatably coupled to the main body 41 and a support member 422 coupled to the first support frame 421.

The first support frame 421 may be rotatably coupled to the main body 41 through one side of the shaft. The first support frame 421 may be rotated about the support rotation axis 42a as the movement mechanism 32 moves the first loading frame 311. [ The first support frame 421 may be erected by rotating in the first rotation direction RD1. The first support frame 421 may be laid down by rotating in the second rotation direction RD2. The first support frame 421 may be formed as a generally rectangular parallelepiped.

The support member 422 supports the stick feeder 100. As the stick feeder 100 is moved from the feed position SP to the loading position LP while the support member 422 supports the stick feeder 100, Can support the other side of the stick feeder 100 positioned at the loading position LP by being rotated in the first rotation direction RD1. The support member 422 may be coupled to the other side of the first support frame 421. The support member 422 may be formed as a rectangular plate as a whole.

The support member 422 may support the stick feeder 100 located at the pick-up position PP (shown in FIG. 4). The electronic component may be positioned at the pickup position PP by being supported by the support member 422 after being taken out of the stick feeder 100 located at the loading position LP. The support member 422 may include a receiving groove in which an electronic component carried out from the stick feeder 100 is received. The receiving groove may be formed to have a shape and size corresponding to the electronic component. The stick feeder 100 may be supported on the support member 422 such that the other end 110b of the stick feeder 100 is directed toward the support member 422. [ In this case, the other end 110b of the stick feeder 100 (shown in FIG. 3) may be supported by the support member 422 while being inserted into the support member 422.

The support mechanism 42 may further include a second support frame 423 rotatably coupled to the main body 41.

The second support frame 423 is rotatably coupled to the main body 41 at a position spaced apart from the first loading frame 313. The second support frame 423 may be rotatably coupled to the main body 41 through one side of the shaft. The support member 422 may be coupled to the other side of the second support frame 423. Accordingly, the second support frame 423 rotates together with the first support frame 421 as the movement mechanism 32 moves the loading mechanism 32, thereby supporting the support member 422 The stick feeder 100 can be moved to the loading position LP. The second support frame 423 may be erected by rotating in the first rotation direction RD1. The second support frame 423 can be laid down by rotating in the second rotation direction RD2. The second support frame 423 may be formed as a substantially rectangular parallelepiped. The support member 422 may be rotatably coupled to the second support frame 423 and the first support frame 421, respectively. Therefore, when the second supporting frame 423 and the second loading frame 311 are rotated as the moving mechanism 32 moves the loading mechanism 32, the supporting member 422 rotates in the horizontal direction As shown in Fig.

The support part 4 may further include an elastic mechanism 43 coupled to the support mechanism 42.

One side of the elastic mechanism 43 may be coupled to the main body 41 and the other side thereof may be coupled to the support mechanism 42. Accordingly, when the moving mechanism 32 moves the loading mechanism 31 in the second direction (arrow E direction), the elastic mechanism 43 pulls the support mechanism 42 by using the restoring force The support mechanism 42 can be rotated in the second rotation direction RD2. Accordingly, the stick feeder 100 positioned at the loading position LP can be moved in the second direction (arrow E) as the loading mechanism 31 linearly moves in the second direction (arrow E direction) While the other side is moved downward as the support mechanism 42 rotates in the second rotation direction RD2. 18, the other end of the stick feeder 100 is inserted into the discharge hole 411, and then one side of the stick feeder 100 is dropped by the gravity as it is separated from the spray portion 5, And can be discharged through the hole 411.

8 and 9, one side of the elastic mechanism 43 may be coupled to the main body 41, and the other side thereof may be coupled to the second support frame 423. The elastic mechanism 43 may be coupled with a restoring force in a direction to rotate the second support frame 423 in the second rotation direction RD2. Accordingly, when the moving mechanism 32 moves the loading mechanism 31 in the second direction (arrow E direction), the elastic mechanism 43 moves the second supporting frame 423 in the second rotation The second support frame 423 can be pulled with a restoring force so as to rotate in the direction RD2. Therefore, the elastic mechanism 43 can function to smoothly rotate the support mechanism 42 in the second rotation direction RD2. The elastic mechanism 43 may be a spring.

Referring to FIGS. 4 to 18, the jetting unit 5 injects gas into the stick feeder 100 located at the loading position LP. Accordingly, the jetting unit 5 can position the electronic component at the pick-up position PP (shown in Fig. 10) by moving the electronic component stored in the stick feeder 100. Fig. Therefore, the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention can achieve the following operational effects.

First, there is a vibration system that uses the weight and vibration of the electronic component by vibrating the stick feeder 100 in such a manner as to transport the electronic component to the pickup position PP. This vibration mode is not a method of moving the electronic part by applying a direct force, but it is a method of moving the electronic part by applying an indirect force to the electronic part by vibrating the stick feeder 100. Accordingly, it is troublesome to adjust the vibration amount according to the number of electronic components remaining in the stick feeder 100 or the like.

Alternatively, the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention is a method of moving the electronic component to the pick-up position PP by applying a direct force to the electronic component from the gas injected from the jetting section 5. Therefore, the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention does not need to adjust the amount of gas injected by the jetting section 5 regardless of the number of electronic components remaining in the stick feeder 100, It is possible to improve the ease of control and convenience in use.

In addition, since the vibrating system vibrates the stick feeder 100 to apply an indirect force to the electronic component to move the electronic component to the pick-up position PP, the pushing force of the standby component with its own weight moves the electronic component As shown in FIG. Accordingly, when there are only a small number of electronic components remaining in the stick feeder 100, it is difficult to move the electronic component to the pickup position PP because there is no pressing force of the standby component with its own weight There is a problem.

Alternatively, the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention is a method of moving the electronic component to the pick-up position PP by applying a direct force to the electronic component from the gas injected from the jetting section 5. Therefore, even when only a small number of electronic components remain in the stick feeder 100, the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention can easily move the electronic component to the pick-up position PP.

The jetting unit 5 may inject gas for moving the electronic component into the inside of the stick feeder 100 supported in the supporting mechanism 42 and the loading mechanism 31 in a horizontal state. The jetting unit 5 may be coupled to the loading unit 3. In this case, the jetting unit 5 may be coupled to the loading mechanism 31.

The injection mechanism 51 can inject gas to the storage part 111 (shown in FIG. 3).

The injection mechanism 51 can be coupled to the receiving mechanism 110 by being inserted into the receiving mechanism 110. In this case, the injection mechanism 51 is inserted into the accommodating mechanism 110 after the first closing member 120 (shown in Fig. 3) is removed from the accommodating mechanism 110, ). ≪ / RTI > The housing part 111 is sealed by the injection mechanism 51 and the housing mechanism 110 except for the other end 110b of the housing mechanism 110 (shown in FIG. 3). Accordingly, the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention can prevent the gas injected from the injection mechanism 51 from leaking to the remaining portion except for the other end 110b of the accommodating mechanism 110, The electronic parts housed in the pouring portion 111 can be easily moved by the gas injected from the injection mechanism 51. [ The injection mechanism 51 may be connected to a gas supply unit (not shown) for supplying gas to the storage unit 111. The injection mechanism 51 can transfer the electronic component stored in the storage part 111 to the pickup position PP by jetting the gas supplied from the gas supply device to the storage part 111. [ However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention may include the gas supplying apparatus 1, .

Although not shown, the injection mechanism 51 may be coupled to the receiving mechanism 110 by being inserted into the first closing member 120 (shown in Fig. 3). In this case, the first closing member 120 may include an insertion hole (not shown) in which the injection mechanism 51 is inserted. The first closing member 120 may be formed of a material having elasticity so that the injection mechanism 51 inserted in the insertion hole can be elastically compressed. As a result, the gas injected from the injection mechanism (51) can be prevented from leaking between the injection mechanism (51) and the insertion hole. For example, the first closing member 120 may be formed of rubber, urethane, or the like.

Referring to FIGS. 4 to 19, the injection mechanism 51 (shown in FIG. 19) may be coupled to the loading member 312. The injection mechanism 51 moves the sticking mechanism 31 to the stick feeder 100 positioned at the feeding position SP as the moving mechanism 32 moves the loading mechanism 31 in the first direction And may be moved to the loading position LP after being combined. Specifically, it is as follows.

11, the loading mechanism 31 is laid down as it moves in the second direction (arrow E direction) by the moving mechanism 32. As shown in Fig. In this case, the injection mechanism 51 (shown in FIG. 19) is positioned away from the stick feeder 100 located at the supply position SP in the second direction (arrow E direction). The reference member 331 is spaced apart from the first stopper 332 in the second direction (arrow E direction).

Next, as shown in Fig. 12, the moving mechanism 32 moves the loading mechanism 31 in the first direction (D arrow direction). Accordingly, the loading mechanism 31 moves linearly in the first direction (direction of arrow D) until the reference member 331 is supported by the first stopper 332. In this process, the injection mechanism 51 (shown in FIG. 19) is coupled to the stick feeder 100 located at the feed position SP by linearly moving in the first direction (direction of arrow D).

Next, as shown in FIG. 13, after the reference member 331 is supported by the first stopper 322, the moving mechanism 32 moves the loading mechanism 31 in the first direction , The loading mechanism 31 is raised by rotating in the first rotation direction RD1 about the loading rotary shaft 31a. 15, the stick feeder 100 positioned at the supply position SP is moved to the loading position LP while the injection mechanism 51 (shown in FIG. 19) is engaged do. When the stick feeder 100 is positioned at the loading position LP, the injection mechanism 51 (shown in FIG. 19) injects the gas into the stick feeder 100, PP, shown in Fig. 4).

4 to 19, the ejection mechanism 51 (shown in FIG. 19) is configured such that the moving mechanism 32 moves the loading mechanism 31 in the second direction (arrow E direction) And can be separated from the stick feeder 100. Specifically, it is as follows.

First, as shown in Fig. 13, the loading mechanism 31 is in a raised state to support the stick feeder 100 (shown in Fig. 15) located at the loading position (LP, shown in Fig. 15). In this case, the injection mechanism 51 (shown in FIG. 19) is coupled to the stick feeder 100 located at the loading position LP. The reference member 331 is spaced apart from the second stopper 333 in the first direction (direction of arrow D).

Next, as shown in Fig. 16, the moving mechanism 32 moves the loading mechanism 31 in the second direction (arrow E direction). Accordingly, the loading mechanism 31 moves linearly in the second direction (arrow E direction) until the reference member 331 is supported by the second stopper 333. In this case, the injection mechanism 51 (shown in Fig. 19) moves linearly along the loading mechanism 31 in the second direction (arrow E direction).

17, after the reference member 331 is supported by the second stopper 333, the moving mechanism 32 moves the loading mechanism 31 in the second direction (arrow E direction , The loading mechanism 31 is laid down by rotating in the second rotational direction RD2 about the loading rotary shaft 31a. In this process, the injection mechanism 51 (shown in FIG. 19) is separated from the stick feeder 100 as it rotates together with the loading mechanism 31 in the second rotation direction RD2. The stick feeder 100 spaced from the injection mechanism 51 and the loading mechanism 31 is discharged through the discharge hole 411 (shown in FIG. 18).

Referring to FIG. 19, the jetting section 5 may include a holding mechanism 52 and an elastic member 53.

The holding mechanism 52 is inserted into the stick feeder 100 coupled to the injection mechanism 51, thereby holding the stick feeder 100. The stick feeder 100 may include a holding groove (not shown) in which the holding mechanism 52 is inserted. The holding mechanism 52 is rotatably coupled to the injection mechanism 51 around a holding rotation axis 52a. The holding mechanism 52 may rotate about the holding rotation axis 52a in a direction to be inserted into the holding groove and a direction away from the holding groove.

One side of the elastic member 53 is coupled to the injection mechanism 51 and the other side is coupled to the holding mechanism 52. The elastic member 53 is configured to elastically support the holding mechanism 52 in the direction in which the holding mechanism 52 is inserted into the holding groove so that the holding mechanism 52 can hold the stick feeder 100. [ Lt; / RTI > When the stick feeder 100 is inserted into the discharge hole 411 (shown in FIG. 18) as it is spaced from the support mechanism 42 (shown in FIG. 8), the holding mechanism 52 is inserted into the stick Is pressed by the feeder (100) and rotates around the holding rotation axis (52a) to compress the elastic member (53). Accordingly, the stick feeder 100 can be discharged through the discharge hole 411 (shown in FIG. 18) by being separated from the holding mechanism 52. The elastic member 53 may be a spring.

Although not shown, the electronic component supplying apparatus 1 according to the present invention may further include a detecting unit for detecting whether or not an electronic component exists in the pick-up position (PP, shown in Fig. 4).

The sensing unit may be an optical sensor, a fiber sensor, or the like. The sensing unit may generate sensed information on whether or not an electronic component exists in the pick-up position PP, and then provide the sensed information to the dispenser 5. The jetting unit 5 may selectively inject gas into the stick feeder 100 according to the sensing information provided from the sensing unit. Specifically, it is as follows.

First, when the sensing unit detects that an electronic component exists in the pick-up position PP, the sensing unit generates the first sensing information and provides the first sensing information to the jetting unit 5. When the first sensing information is received, the jetting unit 5 does not jet the gas. For example, when the light emitted to the pickup position PP for sensing an electronic component is reflected by the electronic component and is received, the sensing unit detects that an electronic component exists in the pickup position PP, It is possible to generate sensing information.

Next, if the sensing unit detects that no electronic component exists in the pickup position PP, it generates second sensing information and provides the second sensing information to the jetting unit 5. When the second sensing information is received, the ejecting unit 5 ejects the gas to the storage unit 111 to transfer the electronic component to the pickup position PP. For example, if the light emitted to the pickup position PP is not received to detect an electronic component, the detection unit detects that no electronic component exists in the pickup position PP and generates the second detection information can do. When the mounter head 11 (shown in Fig. 1) picks up an electronic component located at the pick-up position PP, there is no electronic component in the pickup position PP. In this case, It is possible to detect that no electronic component exists in the position PP. When the electronic part is exhausted from the stick feeder 100, the electronic part is not present in the pick-up position PP. In this case, the sensing unit can detect that the electronic part is not present in the pickup position PP have.

Even if the jetting unit 5 repetitively injects gas into the stick feeder 100 repeatedly N times (where N is an integer larger than 1), the sensing unit determines that no electronic component exists in the pickup position PP The sensing unit can confirm that the electronic component is exhausted from the stick feeder 100. [ For example, if the sensing unit detects that the electronic part is not present at the pick-up position PP even after the jetting unit 5 repeatedly injects gas into the stick feeder 100 three times, It can be confirmed that the electronic parts have been exhausted from the stick feeder 100. [ In this case, the sensing unit may provide the sensing information to the injection unit 5 and the moving mechanism 32. [ The sensing unit may provide the sensing information to the injection unit 5 and the movement mechanism 32 using at least one of wire communication and wireless communication. Even if an electronic component is caught in the stick feeder 100 and an electronic component is not transported to the pick-up position PP, the sensing unit may transmit the second sensing information to the jetting unit 5 Can be provided to the moving mechanism (32).

If the moving mechanism 32 determines that the electronic part does not exist in the pick-up position PP even after the jetting unit 5 injects the gas N times into the stick feeder 100 from the sensing information, The loading mechanism 31 can be moved in the second direction (arrow E direction) so that the stick feeder 100 positioned at the loading position LP is discharged. That is, when the moving mechanism 32 receives the second sensing information, it can move the loading mechanism 31 in the second direction (arrow E direction). When the stick feeder 100 is discharged through the discharge hole 411, the supply unit 2 can supply the stick feeder 100 housing the electronic component to the supply position SP.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Will be clear to those who have knowledge of.
