 本明細書は、テープガイド着脱装置およびテープガイド着脱方法に関する技術を開示する。 This specification discloses a technology related to a tape guide attachment/detachment device and a tape guide attachment/detachment method.
 特許文献1に記載のテープ自動セット装置は、テープフィーダの第一テープ保持部のレバーの作動側に第一リフトレバーを差込む。そして、テープ自動セット装置は、支持台を鉛直方向の上方に上昇させて、第一リフトレバーにより第一テープ保持部のレバーを持ち上げる。これにより、第一テープ保持部は、回転支点を中心に回転し上方へ移動して、ピッチ送り機構部との間の保持状態が開放される。 The automatic tape setting device described in Patent Document 1 inserts the first lift lever into the operating side of the lever of the first tape holding portion of the tape feeder. Then, the automatic tape setting device raises the support base vertically upward and lifts the lever of the first tape holding section using the first lift lever. As a result, the first tape holding section rotates around the rotational fulcrum and moves upward, releasing the holding state between the first tape holding section and the pitch feeding mechanism section.

 キャリアテープには、硬さ、撓み易さ、厚みなどが異なる複数種類のキャリアテープが存在する。そのため、キャリアテープの上面を押さえるテープガイドがフィーダ本体部に装着された状態では、フィーダにキャリアテープを装填することが困難な場合がある。例えば、作業者がキャリアテープを装填する場合、作業者は、キャリアテープの種類や状態に合わせて、キャリアテープの装填方法を変更する必要がある。また、テープ装填装置がキャリアテープを装填する場合、テープ装填装置は、キャリアテープの種類や状態を判断して、キャリアテープの装填方法を変更する機構が必要になり、装置が複雑化する可能性がある。 There are multiple types of carrier tapes that differ in hardness, flexibility, thickness, etc. Therefore, it may be difficult to load the carrier tape into the feeder when the tape guide that presses the top surface of the carrier tape is attached to the feeder main body. For example, when an operator loads a carrier tape, the operator needs to change the carrier tape loading method depending on the type and condition of the carrier tape. In addition, when a tape loading device loads a carrier tape, the tape loading device needs a mechanism to determine the type and condition of the carrier tape and change the loading method of the carrier tape, which may complicate the device.

When the pair of opening/closing parts 410, 410 move a predetermined distance upward in the vertical direction (Z direction) together with the pair of clamp main bodies 310, 310, the claw parts, which are the pair of fixing parts 311, 311, The fixing parts 135, 135 are moved upward by the predetermined distance in the elongated holes. As a result, the downward force applied to the tape guide 133 in the vertical direction (Z direction) is removed.
 次に、テープガイド着脱装置500は、一対の開閉部410,410をキャリアテープ200の幅方向(Y方向)において互いに異なる方向に移動させて一対のクランプ本体部310,310をそれぞれ回転させる(図9に示すステップS13)。具体的には、図12に示すように、テープガイド着脱装置500は、一対の開閉部410,410のうちの一の開閉部410を、キャリアテープ200の幅方向(Y方向)のうちの一の方向(一の開閉部410の側)に移動させる。 Next, the tape guide attachment/detachment device 500 moves the pair of opening/closing parts 410, 410 in different directions in the width direction (Y direction) of the carrier tape 200, and rotates the pair of clamp body parts 310, 310, respectively (Fig. 9). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, the tape guide attachment/detachment device 500 moves one opening/closing part 410 of the pair of opening/closing parts 410, 410 to one in the width direction (Y direction) of the carrier tape 200. direction (towards the first opening/closing section 410).
 また、テープガイド着脱装置500は、一対の開閉部410,410のうちの他の一の開閉部410を、キャリアテープ200の幅方向(Y方向)のうちの他の一の方向(他の一の開閉部410の側)に移動させる。これらにより、一対のクランプ本体部310,310がそれぞれ回転して、クランプ状態からアンクランプ状態に切り替わる。 Further, the tape guide attachment/detachment device 500 is configured to move the other opening/closing section 410 of the pair of opening/ closing sections 410, 410 in the other direction (the other direction) of the width direction (Y direction) of the carrier tape 200. (opening/closing part 410 side). As a result, the pair of clamp main bodies 310, 310 respectively rotate and switch from the clamped state to the unclamped state.
 なお、テープ装填装置1の制御装置80は、公知のスライド機構を駆動制御して、図8に示す一対の開閉部410,410のうちの一の開閉部410を、キャリアテープ200の幅方向(Y方向)のうちの一の方向(一の開閉部410の側)に移動させることができる。テープガイド着脱装置500は、上記のスライド機構を駆動制御して、図8に示す一対の開閉部410,410のうちの他の一の開閉部410を、キャリアテープ200の幅方向(Y方向)のうちの他の一の方向(他の一の開閉部410の側)に移動させることができる。これにより、クランプ状態からアンクランプ状態に切り替わる。 The control device 80 of the tape loading device 1 drives and controls a known slide mechanism to move one opening/closing section 410 of the pair of opening/ closing sections 410, 410 shown in FIG. 8 in the width direction of the carrier tape 200 ( Y direction) (towards the first opening/closing section 410). The tape guide attachment/detachment device 500 drives and controls the slide mechanism described above to move the other opening/closing section 410 of the pair of opening/ closing sections 410, 410 shown in FIG. 8 in the width direction (Y direction) of the carrier tape 200. It can be moved in the other direction (toward the other opening/closing section 410). This switches from the clamped state to the unclamped state.
 また、テープガイド着脱装置500は、上記のスライド機構を駆動制御して、図8に示す一対の開閉部410,410のうちの一の開閉部410を、キャリアテープ200の幅方向(Y方向)のうちの他の一の方向(他の一の開閉部410の側)に移動させることもできる。テープガイド着脱装置500は、上記のスライド機構を駆動制御して、図8に示す一対の開閉部410,410のうちの他の一の開閉部410を、キャリアテープ200の幅方向(Y方向)のうちの一の方向(一の開閉部410の側)に移動させることもできる。この場合、アンクランプ状態からクランプ状態に切り替わる。 Further, the tape guide attachment/detachment device 500 drives and controls the slide mechanism described above to move one opening/closing section 410 of the pair of opening/ closing sections 410, 410 shown in FIG. 8 in the width direction (Y direction) of the carrier tape 200. It can also be moved in the other direction (toward the other opening/closing section 410). The tape guide attachment/detachment device 500 drives and controls the slide mechanism described above to move the other opening/closing section 410 of the pair of opening/ closing sections 410, 410 shown in FIG. 8 in the width direction (Y direction) of the carrier tape 200. It can also be moved in one of the directions (towards the first opening/closing section 410). In this case, the unclamped state is switched to the clamped state.
 移動部420は、一対の開閉部410,410によってクランプ状態からアンクランプ状態に切り替えられた後に、テープガイド133を保持してフィーダ本体部110から取り外す(図9に示すステップS14)。移動部420は、テープガイド133を保持することができれば良く、種々の形態をとり得る。 After the moving part 420 is switched from the clamped state to the unclamped state by the pair of opening/closing parts 410, 410, it holds the tape guide 133 and removes it from the feeder main body part 110 (step S14 shown in FIG. 9). The moving section 420 only needs to be able to hold the tape guide 133, and can take various forms.
 図8に示すように、例えば、移動部420は、テープガイド133の一対の側壁部134,134を、キャリアテープ200の幅方向(Y方向)の外側から把持することができる。また、移動部420は、テープガイド133の所定部位を吸着して保持することもできる。いずれの場合も、少なくとも一つの移動部420は、テープガイド133の少なくとも一つの部位を保持することができる。 As shown in FIG. 8, for example, the moving unit 420 can grip the pair of side walls 134, 134 of the tape guide 133 from the outside in the width direction (Y direction) of the carrier tape 200. Further, the moving unit 420 can also attract and hold a predetermined portion of the tape guide 133. In either case, at least one moving part 420 can hold at least one portion of tape guide 133.
 図13に示すように、フィーダ本体部110からテープガイド133が取り外されると、テープガイド133が取り付けられている場合と比べて、キャリアテープ200の搬送が容易になる。そこで、図14に示すように、テープガイド着脱装置500は、テープガイド133が取り外された状態で、キャリアテープ200を搬送させる(図9に示すステップS15)。既述されているように、キャリアテープ200は、テープ装填装置1によって搬送することができる。また、キャリアテープ200は、フィーダ100によって搬送することもできる。さらに、キャリアテープ200は、上記以外の他の搬送装置によって搬送することもできる。 As shown in FIG. 13, when the tape guide 133 is removed from the feeder main body 110, the carrier tape 200 can be transported more easily than when the tape guide 133 is attached. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 14, the tape guide attachment/detachment device 500 transports the carrier tape 200 with the tape guide 133 removed (step S15 shown in FIG. 9). As already mentioned, the carrier tape 200 can be transported by the tape loading device 1. Further, the carrier tape 200 can also be transported by the feeder 100. Furthermore, the carrier tape 200 can also be transported by other transport devices other than those described above.
 図15に示すように、移動部420は、キャリアテープ200が搬送された後に、テープガイド133をフィーダ本体部110に取り付ける(図9に示すステップS16)。図15は、キャリアテープ200が搬送された状態を視認可能に、テープガイド133の一部が省略されて図示されている。テープガイド133がフィーダ本体部110に取り付けられると、着脱機構400は、アンクランプ状態からクランプ状態に切り替える。 As shown in FIG. 15, the moving unit 420 attaches the tape guide 133 to the feeder main body 110 after the carrier tape 200 is conveyed (step S16 shown in FIG. 9). In FIG. 15, a part of the tape guide 133 is omitted so that the state in which the carrier tape 200 is transported can be visually recognized. When the tape guide 133 is attached to the feeder main body 110, the attachment/detachment mechanism 400 switches from the unclamped state to the clamped state.
 具体的には、テープガイド着脱装置500は、一対の開閉部410,410をキャリアテープ200の幅方向(Y方向)において互いに異なる方向に移動させて一対のクランプ本体部310,310をそれぞれ回転させる(図9に示すステップS17)。テープガイド着脱装置500は、一対の開閉部410,410のうちの一の開閉部410を、キャリアテープ200の幅方向(Y方向)のうちの他の一の方向(他の一の開閉部410の側)に移動させる。 Specifically, the tape guide attachment/detachment device 500 rotates the pair of clamp main bodies 310, 310 by moving the pair of opening/closing parts 410, 410 in different directions in the width direction (Y direction) of the carrier tape 200, respectively. (Step S17 shown in FIG. 9). The tape guide attachment/detachment device 500 connects one opening/closing section 410 of the pair of opening/ closing sections 410, 410 to the other direction (the other opening/closing section 410) in the width direction (Y direction) of the carrier tape 200. side).
 また、テープガイド着脱装置500は、一対の開閉部410,410のうちの他の一の開閉部410を、キャリアテープ200の幅方向(Y方向)のうちの一の方向(一の開閉部410の側)に移動させる。これらにより、一対のクランプ本体部310,310は、図12に示す状態から、図11に示す状態に移行する。 Further, the tape guide attachment/detachment device 500 moves the other opening/closing section 410 of the pair of opening/ closing sections 410 , 410 in one direction (the one opening/closing section 410 ) of the width direction (Y direction) of the carrier tape 200 . side). As a result, the pair of clamp main bodies 310, 310 transition from the state shown in FIG. 12 to the state shown in FIG. 11.
 次に、テープガイド着脱装置500は、一対の開閉部410,410を一対のクランプ本体部310,310と共に鉛直方向(Z方向)の下方に所定距離、移動させる(図9に示すステップS18)。これにより、一対のクランプ本体部310,310は、図11に示す状態から、図10に示す状態に移行する。そして、テープガイド着脱装置500は、一対の進入部411,411を一対の被進入部312,312から後退させる(図9に示すステップS19)。これにより、一対のクランプ本体部310,310は、図10に示す状態から、図7に示す状態に移行する。以上により、アンクランプ状態からクランプ状態に切り替わる。 Next, the tape guide attachment/detachment device 500 moves the pair of opening/closing parts 410, 410, together with the pair of clamp main bodies 310, 310, a predetermined distance downward in the vertical direction (Z direction) (step S18 shown in FIG. 9). As a result, the pair of clamp main bodies 310, 310 transition from the state shown in FIG. 11 to the state shown in FIG. 10. Then, the tape guide attachment/detachment device 500 retreats the pair of entry parts 411, 411 from the pair of entry parts 312, 312 (step S19 shown in FIG. 9). As a result, the pair of clamp main bodies 310, 310 transition from the state shown in FIG. 10 to the state shown in FIG. 7. As a result of the above, the unclamped state is switched to the clamped state.
 既述されている形態では、一対の開閉部410,410は、鉛直方向(Z方向)の上方に所定距離、移動した後に、一対のクランプ本体部310,310をそれぞれ回転させる。これにより、テープガイド133に生じていた鉛直方向(Z方向)の下方への付勢が解除された状態で、クランプ状態からアンクランプ状態に切り替えることができる。しかしながら、一対の開閉部410,410は、鉛直方向(Z方向)の上方への移動を省略することもできる。 In the embodiment described above, the pair of opening/closing parts 410, 410 rotate the pair of clamp main bodies 310, 310, respectively, after moving a predetermined distance upward in the vertical direction (Z direction). Thereby, it is possible to switch from the clamped state to the unclamped state in a state where the downward bias in the vertical direction (Z direction) that has been generated on the tape guide 133 is released. However, the pair of opening/closing parts 410, 410 can also omit upward movement in the vertical direction (Z direction).
 一対の開閉部410,410の鉛直方向(Z方向)の上方への移動が省略された形態においても、一対のクランプ本体部310,310は、一対の被進入部312,312を備えることができる。また、一対の開閉部410,410は、一対の被進入部312,312に進入可能な一対の進入部411,411を備えることができる。一対の開閉部410,410は、既述されている形態と同様にして、一対のクランプ本体部310,310をそれぞれ回転させることができる。 Even in a configuration in which upward movement of the pair of opening/closing parts 410, 410 in the vertical direction (Z direction) is omitted, the pair of clamp main bodies 310, 310 can be provided with a pair of entered parts 312, 312. . Further, the pair of opening/closing parts 410, 410 can include a pair of entry parts 411, 411 that can enter the pair of entry parts 312, 312. The pair of opening/closing parts 410, 410 can rotate the pair of clamp body parts 310, 310, respectively, in the same manner as in the previously described embodiments.
 具体的には、一対の開閉部410,410は、一対の進入部411,411が一対の被進入部312,312に進入した後に、キャリアテープ200の幅方向(Y方向)において互いに異なる方向に移動して一対のクランプ本体部310,310をそれぞれ回転させる。これにより、着脱機構400は、一対の開閉部410,410の鉛直方向(Z方向)の上方への移動が省略された形態においても、クランプ状態とアンクランプ状態とを切り替えて、テープガイド133を着脱することができる。なお、一対の開閉部410,410の鉛直方向(Z方向)の上方への移動が省略された形態では、一対の被固定部135,135の各々は、長穴である必要はなく、例えば、円形状の穴部であっても良い。 Specifically, the pair of opening/closing parts 410, 410 are opened in different directions in the width direction (Y direction) of the carrier tape 200 after the pair of entry parts 411, 411 enter the pair of entered parts 312, 312. The clamp main bodies 310 and 310 are moved and rotated, respectively. As a result, the attachment/detachment mechanism 400 switches the tape guide 133 between the clamped state and the unclamped state even in the form in which upward movement of the pair of opening/closing parts 410, 410 in the vertical direction (Z direction) is omitted. Can be attached and detached. In addition, in the form in which the upward movement of the pair of opening/closing parts 410, 410 in the vertical direction (Z direction) is omitted, each of the pair of fixed parts 135, 135 does not need to be a long hole, and for example, It may be a circular hole.
 これまでに既述されている形態では、一対の開閉部410,410は、一対の進入部411,411が一対の被進入部312,312に進入した状態で、一対のクランプ本体部310,310をそれぞれ回転させる。一対の進入部411,411が一対の被進入部312,312に容易に進入可能な形状である場合、例えば、作業者が一対の開閉部410,410を操作してテープガイド133を取り外し、キャリアテープ200を装填する可能性がある。この場合、例えば、テープガイド133の取り付けが不完全になる可能性がある。また、取り外したテープガイド133と種類が異なる不適当なテープガイド133が取り付けられる可能性がある。 In the embodiments described so far, the pair of opening/closing parts 410, 410 are connected to the pair of clamp body parts 310, 310 in a state where the pair of entering parts 411, 411 have entered the pair of entered parts 312, 312. Rotate each. When the pair of entry parts 411, 411 have a shape that allows easy entry into the pair of entry parts 312, 312, for example, the operator operates the pair of opening/closing parts 410, 410 to remove the tape guide 133 and remove the tape guide 133 from the carrier. There is a possibility of loading tape 200. In this case, for example, the attachment of the tape guide 133 may be incomplete. Furthermore, there is a possibility that an inappropriate tape guide 133 different in type from the removed tape guide 133 may be attached.
 そこで、一対の被進入部312,312および一対の進入部411,411は、対応する形状に形成されていると良い。また、一対のクランプ本体部310,310は、一対の被進入部312,312に対応する一対の進入部411,411を備える一対の開閉部410,410によって回転可能であると良い。これにより、当該一対の開閉部410,410を保持しない作業者による操作が規制される。換言すれば、当該一対の開閉部410,410を保持する作業者またはテープ装填装置1などの駆動装置600による操作が許容される。 Therefore, the pair of entered portions 312, 312 and the pair of entered portions 411, 411 are preferably formed in corresponding shapes. Further, the pair of clamp body parts 310, 310 are preferably rotatable by a pair of opening/closing parts 410, 410 including a pair of entering parts 411, 411 corresponding to the pair of entering parts 312, 312. This restricts operations by a worker who does not hold the pair of opening/closing parts 410, 410. In other words, operation by the operator holding the pair of opening/closing parts 410, 410 or the drive device 600 such as the tape loading device 1 is permitted.
 一対の被進入部312,312および一対の進入部411,411の形状は、限定されない。例えば、一対の被進入部312,312の各々は、多角形状(例えば、八角形)の穴部に形成することができる。一対の進入部411,411の各々は、当該多角形状に対応する多角形状(この場合、八角形)の棒部材に形成することができる。また、一対の被進入部312,312のうちの一の被進入部312および一の被進入部312に進入する一の進入部411の形状と、一対の被進入部312,312のうちの他の一の被進入部312および他の一の被進入部312に進入する他の一の進入部411の形状とが異なっていても良い。 The shapes of the pair of entered portions 312, 312 and the pair of entered portions 411, 411 are not limited. For example, each of the pair of entered portions 312, 312 can be formed in a polygonal (eg, octagonal) hole. Each of the pair of entrance portions 411, 411 can be formed into a polygonal (octagonal in this case) bar member corresponding to the polygonal shape. In addition, the shape of one of the entered parts 312 of the pair of entered parts 312, 312 and the one entering part 411 that enters the one entered part 312, and the shape of the other of the pair of entered parts 312, 312. The shape of one of the entering portions 312 and the other entering portion 411 that enters the other entering portion 312 may be different.
 クランプ機構300および着脱機構400は、本明細書に記載されているいずれの形態においても、テープガイド133に対して、キャリアテープ200の搬送方向(X方向)の上流側および下流側の両方に設けることができる。この場合、上流側の着脱機構400が上流側のクランプ機構300を操作してクランプ状態からアンクランプ状態に切り替えた後に、下流側の着脱機構400が下流側のクランプ機構300を操作してクランプ状態からアンクランプ状態に切り替えることができる。 In any of the forms described in this specification, the clamp mechanism 300 and the attachment/detachment mechanism 400 are provided on both the upstream and downstream sides of the carrier tape 200 transport direction (X direction) with respect to the tape guide 133. be able to. In this case, after the upstream attachment/detachment mechanism 400 operates the upstream clamp mechanism 300 to switch from the clamped state to the unclamped state, the downstream attachment/detachment mechanism 400 operates the downstream clamping mechanism 300 to switch the clamped state to the unclamped state. It is possible to switch from to unclamped state.
 また、下流側の着脱機構400が下流側のクランプ機構300を操作してクランプ状態からアンクランプ状態に切り替えた後に、上流側の着脱機構400が上流側のクランプ機構300を操作してクランプ状態からアンクランプ状態に切り替えることもできる。さらに、上流側の着脱機構400が上流側のクランプ機構300を操作してクランプ状態からアンクランプ状態に切り替えると同時に、下流側の着脱機構400が下流側のクランプ機構300を操作してクランプ状態からアンクランプ状態に切り替えることもできる。 Further, after the downstream attachment/detachment mechanism 400 operates the downstream clamp mechanism 300 to switch from the clamped state to the unclamped state, the upstream attachment/detachment mechanism 400 operates the upstream clamp mechanism 300 to switch from the clamped state to the unclamped state. It can also be switched to an unclamped state. Furthermore, the upstream attachment/detachment mechanism 400 operates the upstream clamp mechanism 300 to switch from the clamped state to the unclamped state, and at the same time, the downstream attachment/detachment mechanism 400 operates the downstream clamping mechanism 300 to switch from the clamped state to the unclamped state. It can also be switched to an unclamped state.
 いずれの場合も、移動部420は、クランプ状態からアンクランプ状態に切り替えられた後に、テープガイド133を保持してフィーダ本体部110から取り外し、キャリアテープ200が搬送された後にテープガイド133をフィーダ本体部110に取り付けることができる。そして、上流側の着脱機構400が上流側のクランプ機構300を操作してアンクランプ状態からクランプ状態に切り替えた後に、下流側の着脱機構400が下流側のクランプ機構300を操作してアンクランプ状態からクランプ状態に切り替えることができる。 In either case, the moving unit 420 holds the tape guide 133 and removes it from the feeder main body 110 after being switched from the clamped state to the unclamped state, and after the carrier tape 200 is conveyed, the moving unit 420 moves the tape guide 133 to the feeder main body. 110. Then, after the upstream attachment/detachment mechanism 400 operates the upstream clamp mechanism 300 to switch from the unclamped state to the clamped state, the downstream attachment/detachment mechanism 400 operates the downstream clamping mechanism 300 to switch to the unclamped state. can be switched from to clamp state.
 また、下流側の着脱機構400が下流側のクランプ機構300を操作してアンクランプ状態からクランプ状態に切り替えた後に、上流側の着脱機構400が上流側のクランプ機構300を操作してアンクランプ状態からクランプ状態に切り替えることもできる。さらに、上流側の着脱機構400が上流側のクランプ機構300を操作してアンクランプ状態からクランプ状態に切り替えると同時に、下流側の着脱機構400が下流側のクランプ機構300を操作してアンクランプ状態からクランプ状態に切り替えることもできる。 Further, after the downstream attachment/detachment mechanism 400 operates the downstream clamp mechanism 300 to switch from the unclamped state to the clamped state, the upstream attachment/detachment mechanism 400 operates the upstream clamping mechanism 300 to switch to the unclamped state. It is also possible to switch from to clamp state. Furthermore, the upstream attachment/detachment mechanism 400 operates the upstream clamp mechanism 300 to switch from the unclamped state to the clamped state, and at the same time, the downstream attachment/detachment mechanism 400 operates the downstream clamping mechanism 300 to switch to the unclamped state. It is also possible to switch from to clamp state.
 図6~図8に示すように、クランプ機構300は、本明細書に記載されているいずれの形態においても、フィーダ本体部110を備えるフィーダ100に設けられている。また、着脱機構400は、フィーダ100と異なる駆動装置600に設けられている。駆動装置600には、クランプ機構300を操作可能な種々の駆動装置が含まれる。実施形態では、駆動装置600は、フィーダ100にキャリアテープ200を装填するテープ装填装置1である。 As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the clamp mechanism 300 is provided on the feeder 100 including the feeder main body 110 in any of the forms described in this specification. Furthermore, the attachment/detachment mechanism 400 is provided in a drive device 600 that is different from the feeder 100. The drive device 600 includes various drive devices that can operate the clamp mechanism 300. In the embodiment, the drive device 600 is the tape loading device 1 that loads the carrier tape 200 onto the feeder 100.
 既述されているように、テープ装填装置1は、キャリアテープ200を搬送することができる。また、テープ装填装置1は、キャリアテープ200のカバーテープ220を排出経路に倣った経路に沿って配策してフィーダ100へ移載することができる。テープガイド着脱装置500は、テープガイド133が取り外された状態で、キャリアテープ200を搬送させる。そのため、カバーテープ220を切断して延長テープと連結させる必要がなく、テープ装填装置1は、図15に示すようにカバーテープ220をテープガイド133に通した後に、カバーテープ220を排出経路に倣った経路に沿って配策すれば良い。 As described above, the tape loading device 1 can transport the carrier tape 200. Further, the tape loading device 1 can transfer the cover tape 220 of the carrier tape 200 to the feeder 100 by routing it along a route that follows the discharge route. The tape guide attachment/detachment device 500 transports the carrier tape 200 with the tape guide 133 removed. Therefore, there is no need to cut the cover tape 220 and connect it to the extension tape, and the tape loading device 1 passes the cover tape 220 through the tape guide 133 as shown in FIG. All you have to do is arrange the route along the route.
 クランプ機構300および着脱機構400は、フィーダ本体部110を備えるフィーダ100に設けることもできる。この形態では、例えば、着脱機構400は、フィーダ本体部110の内部に設けることができる。また、この形態においても、本明細書に記載されている事項を適宜、適用することができる。なお、この形態では、一対の開閉部410,410は、一対のクランプ本体部310,310と一体に形成することもできる。 The clamp mechanism 300 and the attachment/detachment mechanism 400 can also be provided in the feeder 100 including the feeder main body 110. In this form, for example, the attachment/detachment mechanism 400 can be provided inside the feeder main body 110.
