In addition, when the supply component is changed, the component supply unit 106 is also changed according to the shape of the supply component. Since the component supply unit 106 is relatively small and simple in shape, a plurality of component supply units 106 having various shapes are created by a 3D printer. When the component supply unit 106 is changed, the plurality of component supply units 106 From 106, it is changed to one corresponding to the shape of the supply component.

<Comparison with conventional stick feeder>
A conventional stick feeder 150 is shown in FIG. The conventional stick feeder 150 has the same configuration as the stick feeder 82 except for the chute 152 and the chute mounting portion 154. For this reason, the chute 152 and the chute mounting portion 154 will be described, and the same components as those of the stick feeder 82 will be denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the stick feeder 82 and description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 6, the chute 152 includes a main body portion 160 and a lid portion 162. The main body 160 is formed by forming a concave portion 164 on the side surface of a generally square bar-shaped aluminum member so as to extend in the axial direction thereof. The concave portion 164 has the same shape as the shape inside the stick case 90 of the component housing stick 88 held by the stick holding portion 102 of the stick feeder 150. That is, the concave portion 164 is formed by cutting the side surface of the generally square bar-shaped aluminum member into the same shape as the shape inside the stick case 90 so as to extend in the axial direction thereof. The lid 162 is a flat plate-like member and is fixed to the main body 160 so as to cover the recess 164 of the main body 160.

The chute mounting part 154 is composed of two mounting

blocks

166 and 168 as shown in FIG. The mounting block 166 is disposed on the upper surface on the front side of the sandwiching member 112 of the feeder main body 100, and the mounting block 168 is disposed on the upper surface of the feeder main body 100 while being separated from the mounting block 166 toward the front. It is arranged. A chute 152 is fixed to the upper surfaces of the two mounting

blocks

166 and 168. However, the chute 152 can be attached to and detached from the mounting

blocks

166 and 168 with screws or the like.

It should be noted that the opening of the recess 164 on the rear side of the chute 152 fixed to the upper surface of the mounting

blocks

166 and 168 and the lowermost component storage stick 88 among the plurality of component storage sticks 88 held by the stick holder 102. The opening on the front side of the stick case 90 matches. Further, the opening of the concave portion 164 on the front side of the chute 152 fixed to the upper surface of the mounting

blocks

166 and 168 coincides with the opening of the component receiving portion 126 of the component supply unit 106 when sliding backward.

In the conventional stick feeder 150 having the above-described structure, the electronic circuit component 92 in the lowermost component storage stick 88 among the plurality of component storage sticks 88 held by the stick holder 102 is operated by the operation of the component feeder 108. And pushed into the recess 164 of the chute 152. Then, the electronic circuit component 92 is accommodated in the component receiving unit 126 of the component supply unit 106 via the recess 164 of the chute 152, and the electronic circuit component 92 is supplied in the component receiving unit 126.

As described above, also in the conventional stick feeder 150, as in the stick feeder 82, the electronic circuit component 92 is pushed out from the component housing stick 88, and the electronic circuit component 92 is supplied in the component supply unit 106. However, in the conventional stick feeder 150, when the type of the supply component is changed, it is necessary to newly manufacture the chute 152 according to the shape of the changed component. As described above, the chute 152 is obtained by cutting a side surface of a generally square bar-shaped aluminum member, and the chute 152 is designed and manufactured according to the shape of the supply component. For this reason, if the design and manufacture of the chute 152 is performed for each shape of the supply parts, the cost, the delivery date of the chute 152, and the like are very wasteful. In addition, when changing the supply component, the component supply unit 106 is also changed according to the shape of the supply component. However, as described above, the component supply unit 106 is a plurality of component supply units having various shapes by the 3D printer. 106 is created. For this reason, regarding the change of the component supply part 106, there are almost no problems, such as cost, like the change of the chute 152.

On the other hand, in the stick feeder 82, as described above, the empty stick case 122 attached to the stick attachment unit 104 is changed to another empty stick case, thereby changing the supply parts by the stick feeder 82. It corresponds. Thereby, in the stick feeder 82, it is not necessary to design and manufacture the chute 152 when changing the supply parts, and it is possible to eliminate waste such as cost.

In addition, this invention is not limited to the said Example, It is possible to implement in the various aspect which gave various change and improvement based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art. Specifically, for example, in the above embodiment, a component housing stick 88 having the same shape as the stick case 90 held by the stick holding unit 102 is mounted on the stick mounting unit 104 in a cut state. However, the same shape as the stick case 90 of the component housing stick 88 held by the stick holding unit 102 may be mounted on the stick mounting unit 104 as it is.

Moreover, in the said Example, although the thing same shape as the stick case 90 of the component accommodation stick 88 currently hold | maintained at the stick holding | maintenance part 102 is adjusted by cutting, processing other than cutting, for example, fusion etc. Thus, the length can be adjusted. Further, not only the same shape as the stick case 90 is cut, but also the same shape as the stick case 90, which has been subjected to various processes such as notches and deformations, is mounted on the stick mounting portion 104. It is possible.
