A substrate transport line D for the side block is configured. The substrate P is distributed by the delivery unit 17 and carried into the substrate transport line U or D.

  FIG. 2 is a view showing a component supply cart 50 which is an embodiment of the component supply device mounted in the component supply area 13 of the electronic component mounting apparatus 1 shown in FIG. The component supply cart 50 includes a base 51, a reel storage unit 52 that stores a plurality of supply reels 70 wound with a supply tape 60 that stores various types of electronic components to be mounted on the board, and the plurality of supply reels. A signal is exchanged with the feeder fixing portion 53 for fixing a plurality of feeders 2 regularly arranged corresponding to the above, the handle portion 54 for attaching / detaching the component supply cart 50 to / from the component supply area 3, and the electronic component mounting apparatus 1. And a connector (not shown) for connecting the signal transfer cable 57. The main body 1 is provided with a cart connector 55 for connecting the signal transmission / reception cable 56 and a bar code reader 56 for reading a bar code 58 to which a supply reel to be described later is attached. In FIG. 2, only two sets of the supply reel 70 and the supply tape 60 are shown to prevent complexity.

  FIG. 3 shows the configuration of the supply tape 60. The supply tape has a carrier tape 62 having a receiving portion 63 for the electronic component 4 and a cover tape 61 that covers the carrier tape. Sprocket holes 64 are provided at regular intervals to engage the sprocket and move the supply tape.

  FIG. 4 is a view showing an embodiment of the feeder 2 shown in FIG. The feeder 2 is broadly divided into an insertion gate portion 20 that constitutes means for preventing the supply tape 60 from crossing, a supply tape insertion portion 30 for inserting the supply tape, and an electronic component that moves the electronic component by the suction nozzle 17 to the suction position S. A sprocket driving unit 48 for integrally driving three sprockets, which will be described later, constituting the mounting unit 40, the supply tape inserting unit 30 and the electronic component mounting unit 40, a cassette fixing unit 35 for fixing the feeder to the component supply cart 50, FIG. The interface 36 for transmitting / receiving signals to / from the main body 1 via the signal transmission / reception cable shown and information from the main body and signals from sensors which will be described later in the feeder 2 are controlled to control the respective parts to perform signal transmission / reception with the main body 1. A supply cassette control unit 37 is provided.

  The insertion gate portion 20 as an insertion opening / closing portion is an insertion port 21 into which the supply tape 60 can be inserted, a gate 22 for opening / closing the insertion port, a small motor 23 for moving the gate up and down, and a feeder for inserting a component supply tape as will be described later. It has LED25 which recognizes that there is. The insertion gate unit 20 opens and closes the gate based on a command from the main body 1 in order to prevent crossover when a new supply tape 60 is set in the feeder 30.

  The supply tape insertion section 30 includes an insertion section tape detection sensor (insertion section tape detection means) 31 that detects the presence or absence of the supply tape 60 in the insertion gate section 20, and an insertion sprocket 32 that sends the supply tape 60 to the suction position S side. Have The insertion portion tape detection sensor 31 has a V-shaped leaf spring 31a and an optical sensor 31b. The presence / absence of the supply tape 60 is detected based on whether or not the optical path blocking plate 31c provided at the center of the leaf spring 31a blocks the optical path of the optical sensor. As a result, the insertion portion tape detection sensor 31 plays two roles. The first is to detect that the supply tape 60 has been inserted from the insertion gate portion 20 (with optical path interruption). Second, the end of the supply tape 60 passes through the insertion portion tape detection sensor 31 to detect the end of the supply tape (no optical path interruption). On the other hand, the sprocket 32 is driven by the sprocket driving section 48 and meshes with the sprocket hole 64 (see FIG. 3) of the supply tape 60 to move the supply tape 60 in the direction of arrow A.

  The electronic component mounting portion 40 includes a drive sprocket 41 that mainly drives the supply tape 60, a pressing mechanism 42 that presses the supply tape 60 against the drive sprocket 41 in order to reliably push the sprocket hole 64 (see FIG. 3), and a supply tape. When the 60 is set, a push sprocket 43 that pushes the tip into the push mechanism 42, a drive sprocket 41, and a push sprocket 43 provided between the drive sprocket 41 and the push sprocket 43, are arranged in front of the outlet 44 and the push sprocket 43. A drive unit tape detection sensor (drive unit tape detection means) 45 that is provided and detects the presence or absence of the supply tape is provided. The pressing mechanism 42 has a mechanism (not shown) for cutting or peeling the cover tape 62 shown in FIG. 3 in order to take out the electronic component 4 from the supply tape. The configuration of the drive unit tape detection sensor 45 is basically the same as that of the insertion unit tape detection sensor 31.

  The sprocket drive unit 48 drives each sprocket 31 simultaneously via worm gears 46 meshing with worm wheels 32H, 41H and 43H provided concentrically on each of the three sprockets (insertion sprocket 32, drive sprocket 41 and push sprocket 43). A sprocket drive motor 47 is provided. As a result, the sprocket drive mechanism is simplified, and there is an advantage that it is not necessary to take the drive timing of the three sprockets and the control is easy.

  Next, using these mechanisms, with the component supply cart 50 mounted on the main body 1, in other words, when the supply tape 60 is set up or when the supply tape is replenished, the supply tape is prevented from being overlaid. Will be described in the feeder 2.

  First, a basic concept for preventing the supply tape from being mistaken in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 5A, the supply reel 70 is provided with ID data indicating the type, size, and the like of the electronic component stored in the supply tape, and the ID data is read and the result is displayed on the control device 80 of the main body 1. (See FIG. 1) or a higher-level line control device (not shown). In the present embodiment, the barcode 58 is used as the medium of the ID data 58D and is read by the barcode reader 56. As other media, a muchip or the like can be considered.

On the other hand, for example, the ID verification data to be checked against the ID data is stored in advance in the control device. FIG. 6 shows an example of ID collation data. The ID collation data includes the lane number 57a to be set by the feeder and the ID information 57b such as the type and size of the electronic component to be in the feeder 2 corresponding to the lane number. have. Therefore, the control device 80 determines the lane to be set by comparing the ID data 58D and the ID verification data 57, and transfers the determination result to the feeder 2 set in the corresponding lane.
If there is no applicable feeder in the above verification, inform the worker. As a method of transmission, there is a method of making a sound or blinking by providing an LED on a barcode reader.

Next, the supply cassette controller 37 (see FIG. 4) of the corresponding feeder 2 receives the determination result, and as shown in FIG. 5 (b), opens the gate 22 of the insertion slot 21 and blinks the LED 25 at the top. Inform the operator of the feeder to insert the supply tape. Therefore, the operator inserts the supply tape 60 into the insertion slot 21 as shown by arrow B in FIG. The supply cassette control unit 37 detects the insertion of the supply tape by the insertion unit tape detection sensor 31 shown in FIG. 4, drives the insertion sprocket 32, and sends the supply tape 60 to the suction position S side. As a method of notifying the worker, any display device such as a liquid crystal monitor other than the LED or a flag can be easily recognized by the worker.
If the worker is unable to finish this series of work within a certain period of time for some reason, the gate 22 is closed and the same procedure is performed again to prevent a mistake.

  Furthermore, a procedure confirmation switch 26 for confirming the procedure or advancing the procedure may be provided in the feeder in order to prevent a mistake as much as possible.

  In the embodiment described above, the ID collation data is provided in the control device. However, the ID collation data may be provided in the feeder as a barcode similarly to the supply reel 70.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent the supply tape from being overlapped as much as possible, and to provide a highly reliable electronic component mounting apparatus or feeder or electronic component mounting apparatus method.

Next, the movement of the feeder when the supply tape 60 is set in the feeder 2 when the supply tape is not mounted will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the component supply tape is not mounted (Step 1). As described with reference to FIG. 5, the gate valve 22 of the feeder, which is determined as the feeder into which the supply tape 60 is inserted, is opened, the LED 25 blinks, and the worker is made to recognize (Step 2). Next, when an operator recognizes a feeder into which the supply tape 60 is to be inserted and inserts the supply tape 60 from the insertion port 21, the insertion portion tape detection sensor 31 detects the insertion, and the sprocket drive motor 47 moves the insertion sprocket 32. Drive and fast-feed the supply tape in the direction of arrow A. At this time, the drive sprocket 41 and the pushing sprocket 43 are also driven simultaneously (Step 3). Thereafter, the drive unit tape detection sensor 45 detects that the supply tape 60 has come to the electronic component mounting unit 40. Since there is an unloaded area where no electronic components are loaded at the front end of the supply tape 60, the supply tape is fed out only to that part so that the end of the unmounted area comes to the take-out port 44, and one end is stopped and the head is positioned. (Step 4). When all the feeders to be set with the supply tape are ready, the electronic component mounting apparatus starts the mounting operation.

  According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, only the gate of the feeder into which the supply tape is to be inserted is opened, and if the insertion is not performed for a certain period of time, the gate can be closed again to suppress the crossing of the supply tape as much as possible. A highly reliable component supply method and an electronic component mounting method based thereon can be provided.

  Further, according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the supply tape can be mounted in a state where the component supply cart is installed in the main body 1, and it is possible to cope with the case where the setup is performed on the spot, and the electronic component having a high operation rate A mounting device, a feeder, and an electronic component mounting method can be provided.

Next, the movement of the feeder when the mounting process is performed smoothly, the electronic parts of the supply tape are lost, the parts run out, and a new supply tape is inserted will be described with reference to FIGS. 8A, 8B, and 8C. In FIGS. 8A and 8B, an arrow A indicates the traveling direction of the supply tape.
First, the mounting process proceeds smoothly, and the insertion portion tape detection sensor 31 detects the end portion 60Fe of the preceding supply tape 60F that is currently supplying electronic components. In order to prevent an erroneous insertion of a supply tape for replenishment (hereinafter referred to as the subsequent supply tape 60B (refer to the figure of Step 2)), the gate 22 is once closed (Step 1). The end portion detection is performed when the output signal of the insertion portion tape detection sensor 31 is not continuously shielded (ON) for a certain distance (end portion detection set value) in order to prevent malfunction.

  Thereafter, the preceding supply tape 60F is advanced so that the terminal portion of the preceding supply tape 60F passes through the insertion sprocket 32, and the subsequent supply tape 60B can be engaged with the insertion sprocket 32, and a notice of notice of running out of parts is notified (Step 2). The notification is transmitted by flashing the LED 25 at the top of the gate 22 to a nearby worker, and is transmitted to the control device 80 (see FIG. 1) of the body 1 to a worker near the body. It is displayed on a monitor or the like, and is displayed on the monitor of the host control device for the operator room operator (not shown). The advance notice may be made at the stage of Step 1.

The operator prepares the subsequent supply tape based on the information of Step 2, and performs the collation process described in FIG. 5 (Step 3). If the collation is NG, the subsequent supply tape is changed and the process goes to Step 3 again (Step 13). If collation is OK, go to Step 4. This process is basically performed by the control device 80 of the main body.
If the verification is OK, the control device 80 sends a gate open signal to the feeder. Upon receiving the gate open signal, the feeder controls whether the interval L between the end portion 60Fe of the preceding supply tape shown in Step 6 and the leading end portion 60Bs of the subsequent supply tape 60B to be newly supplied becomes the desired value Lh or more than the desired value. This is determined by the interval setting means in the unit 37 (Step 4). For example, the interval setting means controls the drive motor 47 even after the end portion 60Fe of the preceding supply tape has passed through the insertion portion tape detection sensor 31, and the interval L is set when the preset number of times of supply tape 60F is pitch-fed. It is determined that the desired value Lh has been reached. The desired value is a distance for clearly separating the processing by the preceding supply tape and the processing by the subsequent supply tape by the interval L, and can be used for, for example, lot management.

  If the interval L is equal to or greater than the desired value Lh, the feeder has an insertable notification means for opening the gate 22 and notifying that the replenishment supply tape is ready to be inserted (Step 5). Even during Step 1 to Step 4, the main body performs the mounting operation of the electronic component, and accordingly, the feeder also performs the feeding operation of the preceding supply tape, and this is taken into consideration when the determination of Step 4 is performed.

  When the gate 22 is opened, the worker inserts the subsequent supply tape from the insertion port 21 of the feeder (Step 6). When the insertion portion tape detection sensor 31 is light-shielded (ON) with the insertion, it is determined that the subsequent supply tape has been inserted, and the feeder cancels the notice of component shortage. Thereafter, the presence or absence of the succeeding supply tape is reconfirmed in the state where the preceding supply tape 60F is “present”, that is, in the light shielding (ON) state of the drive unit tape detection sensor 45. For this purpose, a predetermined number of times (replenishment confirmation number of times of feeding) is sent, and it is confirmed that the insertion portion tape detection sensor 31 is maintained in the light shielding (ON) state. After confirmation, the main body 1 is notified that the subsequent supply tape is “present”. The control device of the main body stores the information in the memory. At this time, the actual interval L between the end portion 60Fe of the preceding supply tape and the leading end portion 60Bs of the succeeding supply tape is obtained, stored as a feed amount LS after the preceding supply tape end portion detection, and transmitted to the main body. The main body manages this distance for each lane. As the name suggests, this distance becomes the rapid feed amount of the succeeding supply tape when the preceding supply tape has run out of parts, and shortens the time during which the electronic component cannot be removed due to running out of parts.

  Since this interval L (desired interval Lh) is provided, after the end portion 60Fe of the preceding supply tape 60F passes through the insertion portion tape detection sensor 31, and further passes through the insertion sprocket 32, the subsequent supply tape 60B is removed. Even when the insertion sprocket 32 is inserted, it is possible to reliably avoid the inserted subsequent supply tape from overlapping the preceding supply tape.

Therefore, the distance L is set as a distance that is at least larger than the distance described below so that the succeeding supply tape 60B and the preceding supply tape 60F do not overlap. That is, immediately after the preceding supply tape 60F is released from the teeth of the insertion sprocket 32, the subsequent supply tape 60B must be inserted so as to abut against the teeth of the insertion sprocket 32. The distance L described above may be at least a distance larger than the distance between the leading end portion of the preceding tape and the leading end portion of the succeeding tape at this time.
In order to obtain a distance separated by the interval L, the gate is detected when the end portion 60Fe of the preceding supply tape 60F is detected by the insertion portion tape detection sensor 31 and then the end portion advances to a position away from the insertion sprocket 32. 22 is released.

  Further, as another method for obtaining the distance L, for example, the subsequent supply tape 60B is applied to the pressing mechanism 42 until the end portion 60Fe of the preceding supply tape 60F passes through the drive sprocket 41 and is released from engagement with the teeth. It is good also as the distance which has not entered. This is more effective when the tape feeding can be stably performed when the subsequent feeding tape 60B enters the pressing mechanism 42 so that the tape feeding speed is lower than the feeding speed at the time of component removal.

  Further, by providing this interval L, even if some trouble occurs before and after the supply tape replenishment operation, the supply tape involved in the trouble can be determined, and the rod management of each supply tape can be performed.

  Next, the main body and the feeder continue to take out and mount the electronic components remaining on the preceding supply tape at a normal feed pitch. Among them, the main body does not take out the electronic parts, and the parts run out (Step 7). Since the main body has obtained information that the feeder has the subsequent supply tape in Step 6, it can determine whether or not to continue the electronic component removal processing, and the feeder can receive an electronic component removal processing continuation command from the main body (Step 8).

  The subsequent operation of the feeder differs depending on which side of the drive unit tape detection sensor 45 the end portion 60Fe of the preceding supply tape 60F exists (Step 9). That is, when there is no electronic component for a predetermined length from the end portion of the preceding supply tape, the drive unit tape detection sensor is in a light shielding (ON) state. On the other hand, when the electronic component is present near the end portion, the end portion passes through the drive unit tape detection sensor, and the drive unit tape detection sensor enters a light-transmitting (OFF) state.

  Therefore, the process goes to Step 11 when in the light passing (OFF) state, but moves to Step 11 by moving the preceding supply tape until the drive unit tape detection sensor is in the light passing (OFF) state when in the light shielding (ON) state ( Step 10).

  Next, a setting process is performed in which the subsequent supply tape is engaged with the drive sprocket 41 and moved to a predetermined position so that the electronic component can be taken out from the subsequent supply tape 60B (Step 11). The movement amount LM of the setting process is an amount obtained by adding a predetermined amount α to the feed amount L after detecting the preceding supply tape end portion described in Step 5. For example, α is about 20 mm, which is about the distance between the drive unit tape detection sensor 45 and the electronic component outlet 44.

  Finally, when the setting process is completed, the normal electronic component mounting process is resumed (Step 12).

  According to the embodiment in which the supply tape is replenished due to the above-mentioned component cut, the interval (leading supply tape end portion detection post feed amount: mm) L between the end portion 60Fe of the preceding supply tape and the front end portion 60Bs of the subsequent supply tape is provided. As a result, the processing by the preceding supply tape and the processing by the subsequent supply tape can be clearly separated, and the supply tape can be reliably replenished.

  In addition, by providing the interval L, it is possible to determine the supply tape involved even if any trouble occurs before and after the supply tape replenishment operation, and it is also possible to manage each supply tape lot.

  Furthermore, even when the interval L is provided, when the preceding supply tape has run out of parts, the subsequent supply tape is fast-forwarded based on the interval L, thereby shortening the time during which electronic components cannot be taken out due to running out of parts. .

  In the above embodiment, the supply tape is collated, the gate is opened and closed, and a new supply tape is supplied. However, it may be necessary to replenish the supply tape without a gate or verification process. In such a case, even if a notice of parts shortage occurs, it is not immediately notified, but the preceding supply tape is fed by a predetermined amount, and a desired amount of space L is obtained between the preceding supply tape and the subsequent supply tape. Alternatively, it is necessary to have interval setting means for detecting or judging that the state is likely to be obtained, and insertability notifying means for notifying the worker that the succeeding supply tape is ready to be inserted.

  In the present embodiment, the three sprockets are driven by a single motor. However, if at least the drive of the insertion sprocket and the drive of the drive sprocket are separated, a desired amount can be obtained even if the subsequent supply tape is inserted. It is also possible to stop the driving of the insertion sprocket until the interval L is obtained and obtain the desired amount of interval L.

  Also in the other embodiments described above, the same effects as those in the embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 8A to 8C can be obtained from the viewpoint of replenishing the supply tape due to parts being cut.

  Furthermore, even if the worker is notified of the out of parts, the subsequent supply tape may not be inserted until the prior supply tape is out of parts. In this case, if the same electronic component is present in another feeder, the mounting process in that case is substituted, and if not, the mounting operation is continued except for the electronic component. After that, if the subsequent supply tape is inserted after the collation process, the setting process of Step 11 is performed.
