Description

Reel management system and reel management method

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for managing a reel on which a tape containing a large number of parts is wound, which is detachably mounted on a parts supply apparatus.

A component mounter that mounts components such as electronic components on a printed circuit board includes a component supply device for sequentially supplying components. The component supply apparatus has a plurality of feeders for sequentially supplying components to a supply place, and has a plurality of slots in which the feeders are detachably mounted. And the reel on which the reel which accommodated many components was wound is attached to the feeder so that attachment or detachment is possible.

In such a component mounting machine, when the electronic board to be produced is changed, a reel in use (hereinafter abbreviated as an in-use reel) on which unused parts remain on the changed electronic board is mounted. The feeder is removed from the parts supply device, the reel in use is removed from the feeder, and stored in a warehouse. As a result of collecting such in-use reels in the warehouse, there are a plurality of in-use reels of the same part in the warehouse.

¡If a reel in use with a small number of remaining parts is mounted on the feeder and the component mounter is operated, the parts can be supplied in a shorter time than a new reel. As a result, it is necessary for the operator to frequently perform a splicing operation for joining the tape in use. If the splicing work is concentrated, in the worst case, the splicing work is not in time and the component mounter stops.

Therefore, as shown in Patent Document 1, a joining apparatus for joining a tape in use has been proposed. If such a joining device is used to join a plurality of mid-use tapes in a warehouse, the frequency with which the operator performs the splicing work on the component mounter is reduced, and the probability that the splicing work is concentrated is reduced. Can do. For this reason, it becomes possible to reduce the risk that the component mounting machine is stopped in time for the splicing work and the operating rate of the component mounting machine is lowered.

When the reading device 200 has a wireless communication function, the range of action of the worker is not restricted, and the worker reads the reel identifying unit 32 and the feeder identifying unit 27 by the reading device 200 even at a remote location. Can be made.

(New reel registration process)
Next, “new reel registration processing” executed when the new reel 23 is mounted on the feeder 21 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the operator operates the operation unit 105 to select “new reel registration processing”, the program proceeds to S11.

Before the new reel 23 is mounted on the feeder 21, the operator associates the new reel 23 with the feeder 21 on which the reel 23 is mounted. And the reader identification unit 32 of the new reel 23 are read by the reading device 200.

In S11, when the management apparatus 100 determines that “feeder identification information” and “reel identification information” have been read (S11: YES), the program proceeds to S12, where “feeder identification information” and “reel identification information”. When it is determined that both are not read yet (S11: NO), the process of S11 is repeated.

In S12, the management apparatus 100 associates “feeder identification information”, “reel identification information”, and “remaining part count” of the new reel 23, which are read in S11, as shown in FIG. Then, it is stored in the storage unit 103 as “reel management information”. In the present embodiment, the “remaining part number” is stored in the reel identifying unit 32, and when the reading unit 200 reads the reel identifying part 32, the “remaining part number” is read. When S12 ends, the program proceeds to S13.

In S13, if the management apparatus 100 determines that the “new reel registration process” has been selected to end by the operation of the operation unit 105 by the operator (S13: YES), the management apparatus 100 performs the “new reel registration process”. On the other hand, if it is determined that the “new reel registration process” is not selected to end (S13: NO), the program is returned to S11.

(In-use tape parts remaining number storage process)
Next, the “in-use tape part remaining number storage process” executed when the in-use reel 23 is removed from the feeder 21 and the in-use reel 23 is moved to a storage location such as a warehouse is used with reference to the flowchart of FIG. I will explain. When the operator operates the operation unit 105 to select to start the “in-use tape component remaining number storage process”, the program proceeds to S21.

When the operator removes the in-use reel 23 from the feeder 21, the operator reads the feeder identification unit 27 of the feeder 21 to which the in-use reel 23 is attached by the reading device 200, and the reading device 200 reads the in-use reel 23. The reel identification unit 32 is read (reel identification information reading step).

In S21, if the management apparatus 100 determines that “feeder identification information” and “reel identification information” have been read (S21: YES), the program proceeds to S22, where “feeder identification information” and “reel identification information”. When it is determined that both are not read yet (S21: NO), the process of S21 is repeated.

In S22 (part remaining number acquisition step), the management apparatus 100 inquires the component mounter 1 about the “part remaining number” of the in-use reel 23 mounted on the feeder 21 of the “feeder identification information” read in S21. . The component mounter 1 recognizes the number of components supplied in the feeder 21 on which the reel 23 is mounted. When the inquiry is received, the component mounter 1 calculates the “remaining component number” by subtracting the component supply number from the “remaining component number” when the reel 23 is mounted on the feeder 21. The “number of remaining parts” is transmitted to the management apparatus 100. When S22 ends, the program proceeds to S23.

When the management apparatus 100 determines in S23 that the “remaining part number” of the in-use reel 23 has been acquired (S23: YES), the program proceeds to S24, and the “remaining part number” of the in-use reel 23 is set. If it is determined that it has not been acquired (S23: NO), the process of S23 is repeated.

In S24 (in-use tape component remaining number storing step), the “reel identification information” of the in-use reel 23 and the “remaining part number” of the in-use reel 23 acquired in S23 are associated with each other in FIG. ), The reel management information (in-use tape component remaining number information) is updated and stored. When S24 ends, the program proceeds to S25.

In S25, the management apparatus 100 cancels the association between the “feeder identification information” and the “reel identification information” read in S21 in “reel management information”. Specifically, the “feeder identification information” read in S21 is deleted from the “reel management information”. When S25 ends, the program proceeds to S26.

In S26, when the management apparatus 100 determines that the “in-use tape part remaining number storage process” is selected to be terminated by the operator's operation of the operation unit 105 (S26: YES), If it is determined that the “tape part remaining number storage process” is not selected and the “in-use tape part remaining number storage process” is not selected to end (S26: NO), the program is returned to S21.

In this way, the processing of S21 to S25 is sequentially repeated, so that the “reel identification information” of each in-use reel 23 and the in-use reel 23 are wound as shown in FIG. 4B. “In-use tape component remaining number information”, which is information associated with the “number of remaining components” of the in-use tape 24, is generated.

(Joint tape reel parts remaining number information storage processing)
Next, the in-use tape 24 of the plurality of in-use reels 23 stored in the storage location is joined by splicing to produce the joining tape 24, and one joining tape reel 23 around which the joining tape 24 is wound is produced. The “joint tape reel part remaining number information storage process” for storing the “part remaining number” of the joining tape reel 23 when it is performed (joint tape reel manufacturing process) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the operator operates the operation unit 105 to select to start the “joined tape reel part remaining number information storage process”, the program proceeds to S51.

In the order in which the in-use tape 24 is joined, the operator sequentially reads the reel identifying portion 32 of the in-use reel 23 around which the in-use tape 24 is wound by the reading device 200, thereby joining the in-use reel to be joined. 23 is selected (in-use reel identification information reading step).

If the management apparatus 100 determines in S51 that “reel identification information” has been read (S51: YES), the program proceeds to S52, and if it is determined that “reel identification information” has not been read. (S51: NO), the process of S51 is repeated.

In S52, when the operator operates the operation unit 105 and the management apparatus 100 determines that selection of the plurality of in-use reels 23 to be joined is completed (S52: YES), the program proceeds to S53. . On the other hand, when the management apparatus 100 determines that selection of the in-use reel 23 to be joined has not been completed (S52: NO), the program is returned to S51.

In S53, if the management apparatus 100 determines that the selected in-use reel 23 is appropriate (S53: YES), the program proceeds to S61, and the selected in-use reel 23 is not appropriate. If it is determined (S53: NO), the program proceeds to S55. Note that the management apparatus 100 determines that the selected in-use reel 23 is not appropriate when the types of components accommodated in the selected in-use reel 23 are different. In addition, when the total “number of remaining parts” of the selected in-use reel 23 has not reached the required “number of remaining parts”, the management apparatus 100 determines that the selected in-use reel 23 is Judge that it is not appropriate.

Further, in the case where the selected in-use reel 23 is not in the same lot, the management apparatus 100 has the selected in-use reel 23 in the same lot, but the in-use reel 23 is delivered on a different day. If any one or more of the conditions are satisfied, it is determined that the selected in-use reel 23 is not appropriate. Alternatively, if the selected in-use reel 23 is in a different lot but the date of delivery of the in-use reel 23 is within one month, the management apparatus 100 selects the in-use reel 23 as appropriate. On the other hand, if the lot of the selected in-use reel 23 is different and the date when the in-use reel 23 is delivered exceeds one month, the selected in-use reel 23 is not appropriate. Judge.

In S55, the management device 100 notifies the notification device 106 of the error, and returns the program to S51.

In S61 (bonding tape reel component remaining number information storage step), the management apparatus 100 is read in S51 with reference to “reel management information” (in-use tape component remaining number information) stored in the storage unit 103. Further, the “remaining part count” of the in-use tape 24 wound around the in-use reel 23 of the “reel identification information” is acquired. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the management apparatus 100 sets “reel in use” which is “reel identification information” of the mid-use reel 23 around which the mid-use tape 24 is wound in the order in which the mid-use tape 23 is joined. The “identification information” and the “part remaining number” of the tape 24 in use are associated with each other and stored in the storage unit 103 as “joined tape reel part remaining number information”.

One of the “in-use reel identification information” is stored in the “joint tape reel component remaining number information” as “new reel identification information”. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the in-use tape 24 is sequentially joined to the in-use tape 24 around which the in-use reel 23 of “in-use reel identification information” is AJ0129-3131. Then, AJ0129-3131 which is “in-use reel identification information” of the in-use reel 23 around which the in-use tape 24 to be joined is wound is used as “new reel identification information” as “joint tape reel component remaining number information”. Is stored. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the in-use tape 24 joined last is the head of the tape 24 of the joining tape reel 23. The “joining tape reel component remaining number information” is generated for each joining tape reel 23 and stored in the storage unit 103. When S61 ends, the program proceeds to S62.

In S62, when the management device 100 determines that the “joining tape reel component remaining number information storage process” has been selected by operating the operation unit 105 in S62 (S62: YES), If it is determined that “joining tape reel component remaining number information storage processing” is terminated and “joining tape reel component remaining number information storage processing” has not been selected (S62: NO), the program proceeds to S51. return.

By the above-described “joining tape reel part remaining number information storing process”, “joining tape reel part remaining number information” as shown in FIG. 7 is generated for each joining tape reel 23.

(Tracking process)
The “tracking investigation process” for acquiring “in-use reel identification information” of the tracking part P such as a part in which a problem has occurred will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the operator operates the operation unit 105 to select “follow-up survey processing”, the program proceeds to S81.

The operator operates the operation unit 105 to input “new reel identification information” of the joining tape reel 23 in which the tracking component is accommodated and the supply order of the tracking component P in the feeder to the management apparatus 100.

In S81, when the management apparatus 100 determines that the “new reel identification information” and the supply order of the tracking component P in the feeder have been acquired (S81: YES), the program proceeds to S82, and the “new reel identification information” "And the supply order of the tracking component P in the feeder are determined not acquired (S81: NO), the process of S81 is repeated.

In S <b> 82, the management apparatus 100 refers to the “new reel identification information” and the supply order of the tracking component P with the feeder in the “tape reel component remaining number information” shown in FIG. Is obtained.

In the example shown in FIG. 7, when the supply order of the tracking component P is 253, the “number of remaining components” of the first “in-use reel identification information” (AJ0129-3654) is 52. “Intermediate reel identification information” does not apply. Then, when 52 is subtracted from 253, the result is 201, and the “number of remaining parts” in the next “in-use reel identification information” (AJ0129-4456) is 269, and 201 is 269 or less, so AJ0129-4456 is the tracking part. It is determined that the “in-use reel identification information” is P, and the “in-use reel identification information” is acquired. When S82 ends, the program proceeds to S83.

In S83, the management device 100 notifies the “in-use reel identification information” acquired in S82 by the notification device 106. When S83 ends, the “follow-up survey process” ends.

(Effect of this embodiment)
As described above, according to the reel management system and the reel management method of the present embodiment, when the in-use tape 24 is joined and the joining tape reel 23 is manufactured, the management device 100 (the remaining number of joining tape reel parts). In S61 of FIG. 6, the information storage means) refers to “in-use tape part remaining number information” (shown in FIG. 4B) as shown in FIG. The “reel identification information” of each in-use reel 24 that was originally wound and the remaining number of parts of each in-use tape 24 are acquired. Next, in the order in which the in-use tape 24 is joined, the management apparatus 100 “in-use reel identification information” of the in-use reel 23 in which the in-use tape 24 was originally wound and “parts” of the in-use tape 24 are used. “Joined tape reel component remaining number information” (shown in FIG. 7) in association with “remaining number” is stored.

As a result, in S82 of FIG. 8, the management apparatus 100 refers to the “joined tape reel component remaining number information” (shown in FIG. 7), thereby “reel identification information” of the reel in which the tracking component P was originally accommodated. Can be specified. For this reason, the traceability of the parts accommodated in the tape 24 in use can be ensured.

Further, when the joining tape reel 23 is manufactured, the operator simply reads the reel identifying portion 32 of the in-use reel 23 on which the in-use tape 24 was originally wound by the reading device 200 (reading unit). In S61 of FIG. 6, the management apparatus 100 acquires “number of remaining parts” corresponding to the “reel identification information” and automatically generates “joined tape reel part remaining number information” shown in FIG. Therefore, the “joining tape reel component remaining number information” can be generated with a simple operation.

(Another embodiment)
The reel identification unit 32 and the feeder identification unit 27 may be a three-dimensional code in which “reel identification information” is stored, and the reading device 200 may be a three-dimensional code reading device. Alternatively, the reel identification unit 32 and the feeder identification unit 27 are a magnetic tape, an IC chip, and a wireless tag in which “reel identification information” is stored, and the reading device 200 is a magnetic tape reader, an IC chip reader, and a wireless tag reader. There is no problem.

In the embodiment described above, in the “in-use tape component remaining number storage process” of FIG. 5, the component mounter 1 subtracts the component supply number from the “remaining component number” when the reel 23 is mounted on the feeder 21. Then, the “number of remaining parts” is calculated, and the “number of remaining parts” is transmitted to the management apparatus 100. However, the management apparatus 100 obtains the number of parts supplied from the component mounter 1, and calculates the “number of remaining parts” by subtracting the number of parts supplied from the “number of remaining parts” when the reel 23 is mounted on the feeder 21. However, the embodiment may be used.

In the embodiment described above, in the “joined tape reel component remaining number information storage process”, the operator sequentially reads the reel identifying unit 32 with the reading device 200. However, the reel identification unit 32 may be mechanically sequentially read instead of the worker.
