The electronic component loading position is between the first case loading position and the second case loading position.

Wherein the operation portion includes a case engaging portion that engages the first case and the second case in a state where the electronic component is disposed between the first case and the second case; Wherein the at least one working position further comprises a case engaging position in which the first case and the second case are engaged by the case engaging portion.

A failure detecting portion for confirming whether or not the first case and the second case are in a coupled state by operation of the case engaging portion; And the circulation path further includes a coupled state sensing position where a check is made as to whether or not a failure is caused by the failure sensing portion.

The working portion includes a labeling portion for attaching a label to a plane of the intermediate product in which the electronic component is cased; .

A boat replacement part for replacing the circulation boat with a new circulation boat; .

A tray supply part for supplying a tray on which the electronic parts are loaded as the electronic parts loading part; And the electronic component loading portion loads the electronic components loaded in the tray with the circulation boat.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an electronic component labeling apparatus including: an electronic component loading position, at least one operation position in which an operation required for labeling an electronic component is performed, A component moving part having a circulating boat for circulation; An electronic component loading portion for loading the electronic component with the circulation boat when the circulation boat is located at the electronic component loading position; An operation unit that performs an operation required for labeling an electronic part when the circulation boat is located at the at least one work position; And an article unloading section for unloading the finished article from the circulation boat when the circulation boat is located at the electronic part unloading position; .

1. Description of the tray feed portion 100

The tray feeding part 100 receives the tray magazine TM from the preceding stage equipment and feeds the tray T carried on the tray magazine TM one by one to the electronic part loading part (300).

First, the tray (T) and the tray magazine (TM) will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. The configuration of the tray feeding section 100 will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 2, the tray T is composed of an upper plate Tt and a lower plate Tb. The electronic components D (for example, SSD) are seated on the lower plate Tb, and the upper plate Tt is detachably coupled to the lower plate Tb.

As shown in FIG. 3, the tray magazine TM has insertion grooves IS arranged in the vertical direction, and the trays T are loaded on the tray magazine TM while being inserted into the insertion grooves IS. The clearance S in the right portion of the tray magazine TM of FIG. 3 is determined by the distance d between the two insertion grooves IS into which both ends of the tray T are inserted, As shown in FIG.

The tray feed portion 100 includes a magazine feeder 110, a positioner 120, a magazine lift 130, a tray sensor 140, a tray detacher 150, a tray relay 150, A first magazine take-out machine 170, and a second magazine take-out machine 180.

The magazine loader 110 has a first moving belt 111 that provides a trailing force to the tray magazine TM.

The position shifter 120 includes a second moving belt 121 that provides a moving force to the magazine loader 110 in the lateral direction.

The magazine elevator 130 includes a third moving belt 131 and a lifting frame 132. [

The third moving belt 131 provides a traversing force to the tray magazine TM in the rearward direction.

A third moving belt 131 is provided on the lifting frame 132, and is lifted up and down according to the operation of the lifting drive source AD.

The tray detector 140 detects the tray T mounted on the tray magazine TM. The operation of the magazine elevator 130 is controlled through the information sensed by the tray sensor 140.

The tray removal mechanism 150 removes the tray T from the tray magazine TM and sends it to the tray relay 160 side by pushing the tray T in the movement position MP toward the rear tray relay 160 .

The tray relay 160 receives the tray T which is detached from the tray magazine TM according to the operation of the tray detacher 150. [ The tray relay 160 has a fourth moving belt 161 and a position aligner 162.

The fourth moving belt 161 provides a moving force in the rearward direction.

The position calibrator 162 calibrates the position of the tray T which is raised directly to the fourth moving belt 161 one sheet at a time by manual operation of the operator. This position calibrator 162 has a pair of calibration cylinders 162a and 162b. Therefore, when the operator manually places the tray T on the fourth moving belt 161, the calibration cylinders 162a and 162b are operated to move the tray T to a position capable of appropriately sending the tray T to the electronic component loading portion 200 Calibration. Of course, the position calibrator 162 may also correct the position of the tray T that has been detached from the tray magazine TM by the operation of the tray detacher 150 and the fourth moving belt 161.

And may allow the tray T to be moved directly from the tray magazine TM to the electronic component loading portion 200, depending on the implementation. Thus, the configuration of the tray relay 160 is optional.

The first magazine take-out machine 170 is located between the pair of third moving belts 131. The first magazine take-out machine 170 has the fifth moving belt 171 and the elevating cylinder 172.

The fifth moving belt 171 provides a moving force to the tray magazine TM in the right direction.

The elevating cylinder 172 slightly lifts the fifth moving belt 171.

The second magazine take-out machine 180 has a sixth moving belt 181 that provides a rightward movement force to the tray magazine TM.

For reference, the first to sixth moving belts 111, 121, 131, 161, 171, 181 are driven by respective driving motors.

Next, the operation of the tray feeding portion 100 configured as above will be described with reference to FIG.

The tray magazine TM coming from the front end equipment is accommodated inside the magazine supplying portion 100 while moving from the front to the rear by the rotation of the first moving belt 111 (see arrow a in Fig. 5). The tray magazine TM placed on the first moving belt 111 is moved in the left direction together with the magazine loader 110 by operating the second moving belt 121 (see arrow b in Fig. 5). Then, when the first moving belt 111 and the third moving belt 131 operate together, the tray magazine TM moves backward and is placed on the third moving belt 131 (see arrow c in FIG. 5). At this time, since the fifth moving belt 171 is in the lowered state, the movement along the arrow c of the tray magazine TM is not disturbed.

When the movement in accordance with the arrow c is completed, the tray detector 140 detects the trays T mounted on the tray magazine TM. Then, the lifting frame 132 is lifted based on the information sensed by the tray sensor 140, so that the tray magazine TM rises (see arrow d). In response to the rise of the tray magazine TM, the tray detacher 150 moves the tray T positioned at the movement position MP to the tray relay 160 side. At this time, when the tray T placed on the uppermost position of the tray magazine TM is positioned at the movement position MP and then moved to the tray relay unit 160 side by the tray tray removal unit 150, The tray T moves one by one from the tray magazine TM to the tray transponder 160 side by the tray detacher 150 in a stepwise manner.

The tray T, which has been moved toward the tray relay unit 160, is placed on the fourth moving belt 161. After the position of the tray T is correctly calibrated by the position calibrator 162, the tray T is supplied to the rear electronic part loading part 200 by the operation of the fourth moving belt 161. [

When all of the trays T mounted on the tray magazine TM move toward the tray transporter 160, the empty tray magazines TM are lowered together by the descent of the lifting frame 132 (see arrow e in FIG. 5) . Then, the elevating cylinder 172 is operated to raise the fifth moving belt 171 so that the height of the fifth moving belt 171 is equal to the height of the sixth moving belt 181. Then, the fifth moving belt 171 and the sixth moving belt 181 are operated together to unload the tray magazine TM from the tray feeding portion 100 (see arrow f in Fig. 5).

On the other hand, the operator can directly place one tray T on the fourth moving belt 161. [ 6 (a) and 6 (b), the position aligner 162 operates to correct the position of the tray T, and then the fourth moving belt 161 is operated to move the tray T backward To the electronic component loading portion 200 of the electronic component.
