Description

  The present invention relates to an electronic component mounting apparatus that uses an electronic component feeder equipped with a drive source for feeding a tape.

In the conventional electronic component mounting apparatus, a plurality of detachable electronic component feeders are attached to a feeder bank, a head adsorbs an electronic component from a predetermined electronic component feeder, and is transferred between mounting positions on a substrate for mounting. .
The electronic component feeder communicates with the mounting apparatus main body and has a control unit for making a predetermined response to a communication signal from the mounting apparatus main body. Since the electronic component feeder needs to supply power and communicate with the control circuit, a power supply terminal and a communication terminal are provided between the electronic component feeder and the mounting apparatus body. When attaching or detaching the component feeder, it is necessary to separate or connect these terminals.
However, the contact-type power supply or communication terminal is likely to be worn or damaged, has low durability, and is susceptible to noise. In order to solve these problems, power is supplied to the feeder side using the electromagnetic induction action by the coils arranged close to each other between the mounting apparatus main body and the feeder, and an optical fiber formed of an optical fiber or a resin is used. An electronic component mounting apparatus that performs communication through a waveguide has been devised (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

JP 2007-109753 A European Patent Application No. 1767588

However, in each of the above-described prior arts, the feeder side is supplied with power by using the electromagnetic induction action by the coil, so that the feeder side control circuit functions after receiving power supply by the coil. In addition, communication with the mounting apparatus main body side is also possible.
Therefore, even when the detachable electronic component feeder is not correctly attached so as to be able to supply power, the electronic component feeder is not energized, so that it is not possible to recognize the occurrence of attachment failure, and the mounting apparatus. On the main body side, there is a concern that the coil on the mounting apparatus main body side may continue to be energized while being unable to supply power to the feeder side.
In this way, energization is continued in a state where the end face of the coil on the mounting apparatus main body side is separated from the end face of the coil on the feeder side due to poor attachment, and a metal piece, other foreign matter, etc. on the end face of the coil on the mounting apparatus main body side Therefore, the conventional electronic component mounting apparatus has a problem that a failure may occur. In addition, there is a problem that extra power consumption occurs, such as power supply even when the attachment is defective.
In order to solve this problem, a spare battery is mounted on the electronic component feeder side, enabling communication with the mounting device body side even when power is not supplied from the mounting device body side, and promptly mounting occurs on the mounting device body side. However, in this case, there are problems such as an increase in maintenance work and an increase in manufacturing cost due to the installation of a spare battery.

  An object of the present invention is to make it possible to suppress defective mounting of an electronic component feeder.

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an electronic component comprising: an electronic component supply device that supplies the electronic component to a head that mounts the electronic component on a substrate; and an attachment portion on which the electronic component supply device is mounted.

When a signal sequence is detected , Characterized in that it comprises a control means for starting the power supply to the electronic component feeding device by the power supply unit.

  The invention described in claim 2 has the same configuration as that of the invention described in claim 1, and the control means continuously or periodically executes the detection of the confirmation signal train at the mounting portion side incident portion. The power supply unit stops power supply to the electronic component supply device when detection of the confirmation signal sequence of the confirmation signal is stopped.

Therefore, if the electronic component supply device is appropriately attached to the attachment portion and no deviation occurs, the side emission portion and the supply device side incident portion, the supply device side emission portion and the attachment portion side incidence portion face each other, Since the signal sequence for confirmation emitted from the mounting portion side emitting portion passes through the electronic component supply device and returns to the mounting portion side incident portion, the operation on the electronic component supply device side at this time is unnecessary. It becomes possible to detect attachment of the electronic component supply device. In other words, it is possible to detect attachment without supplying power to the electronic component supply device side, and it is possible to eliminate the need for mounting detection means and a standby power supply for the detection on the electronic component supply device side.
Further, since the control means performs power feeding by the power supply unit after detecting the incident of the confirmation signal sequence at the mounting unit side incident unit, it prevents the occurrence of a power feeding continuation state due to poor mounting of the electronic component feeding device, It is possible to effectively prevent the generation of heat due to adhesion.

Further, since the power supply is stopped by such detection, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of the power supply continuation state after the removal of the electronic component supply device and to effectively prevent the generation of heat due to the adhesion of foreign matter. This also makes it possible to avoid unnecessary power feeding and save power.

The control light source 47 emits light based on the command of the control unit 81 or the output of the light receiving element 48 is digitized and input to the control unit 81, and the light emission of the confirmation light source 49 is controlled and returned. The detection communication unit 83 that digitizes and inputs the reception detection signal of the confirmation signal train to the control unit 81 and the power supply circuit 15 that supplies power to the entire configuration of the electronic component mounting apparatus 100 are supplied with the first power. And a power supply unit 84 that controls energization of the coil 41 of the power supply control module 40.

With this configuration, the control circuit 80 communicates to output an operation command to the electronic component feeder 20 so as to feed the tape of the electronic component feeder 20 at a predetermined timing in synchronization with the mounting operation of the electronic component. Communication control of the light source 47 is performed.
Further, the control circuit 80 performs communication control of the confirmation light source 49 and detection detection of the return confirmation signal by the light receiving element 50 based on the communication control, and when the confirmation signal train is detected, the first power supply control module 40. The power supply unit 84 is controlled so as not to energize the coil 41 when it is not detected.

The power supply control of the control circuit 80 will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 5 and the timing chart of FIG.
First, the control unit 81 of the control circuit 80 performs an initialization process as the first process of control (step S1).
Next, the control unit 81 causes a confirmation signal sequence to be transmitted from the confirmation light source 49 (step S2). Then, it is determined whether the light receiving element 50 has received the return confirmation signal sequence (step S3). At this time, if the electronic component feeder 20 is not yet attached to the feeder bank 30 or is attached but not properly attached, the light receiving element 50 does not detect the confirmation signal string (FIG. 6). A), the control unit 81 cuts off the energization when the coil 41 of the first power supply control module 40 is not energized or is already energized (step S5).
On the other hand, when a return confirmation signal sequence is detected (B in FIG. 6), energization of the coil 41 of the first power supply control module 40 is started (step S4). As a result, power is supplied to the entire electronic component feeder 20 through the coil 61 of the second power supply control module 60.
After the process of step S4 or S5, the control unit 81 determines whether or not a predetermined confirmation signal transmission cycle has elapsed (step S6), and if it has elapsed, the process returns to step S2, and again A confirmation signal is transmitted by the confirmation light source 49.
Even after the power supply to the electronic component feeder 20 is started, the signal light source 49 periodically transmits a signal sequence and a return confirmation signal sequence is detected periodically. As long as the return confirmation signal sequence detection continues, the coil 41 is continued. Is energized (C in FIG. 6), and when the detection of the return confirmation signal sequence is interrupted (D in FIG. 6), it is assumed that the electronic component feeder 20 has been removed from the feeder bank 30 and the coil The power supply to 41 is cut off.

(Effect of the first embodiment)
In the electronic component mounting apparatus 100, both the first power supply control module 40 of the feeder bank 30 and the second power supply control module 60 of the electronic component feeder 20 have the fiber optical waveguides 45 and 65 serving as the signal signal emitting portions for confirmation. When the electronic component feeder 20 is appropriately attached to the feeder bank 30, the end surface 45a and the end surface 65a face each other and the end surface 65b is provided with the end surfaces 45a and 65b and the end surfaces 46a and 65a of the fiber optical waveguides 46 and 65 as incident portions. And the end face 46a face each other.
Since the confirmation fiber optical waveguide 65 has a structure for guiding a confirmation signal (row) from one end face 65a to the other end face 65b, the electronic component feeder 20 is prevented from being displaced in the feeder bank 30. Only when it is properly attached, the confirmation signal string emitted from the light emitting element 49 is returned to the attachment portion 30 side again through the confirmation fiber optical waveguide 65 and detected as a return confirmation signal string by the light receiving element 50. Thus, it is possible to detect the attachment of the electronic component feeder 20 and the attachment failure.
Further, since the control unit 81 detects the return confirmation signal sequence, the control unit 81 supplies power to the coil 41 of the first power supply control module 40 and supplies power to the electronic component feeder 20 through the coils 41 and 61. In addition, when the electronic component feeder 20 is not attached or when the attachment is poor, the coil 41 can be prevented from being energized, and foreign matter adheres to the periphery of the coil 41 and the periphery of the end faces 42a, 42b, 42c of the pillars of the core 42. Generation of heat generation can be effectively prevented. This also makes it possible to avoid unnecessary power feeding and save power.

In addition, since the control unit 81 periodically detects the return confirmation signal sequence in the light receiving element 50, the electronic component feeder 20 is removed from the feeder bank 30 when detection is stopped from the state where the detection has been performed. Can be detected.
And since the energization to the coil 41 is stopped by such detection, the occurrence of the power supply continuation state after the removal of the electronic component feeder 20 is prevented, and the periphery of the end faces 42a, 42b, 42c of the respective columns of the coil 41 and the core 42 It is possible to effectively prevent the generation of heat due to the adhesion of foreign matter to the battery, avoid unnecessary power supply after the electronic component feeder 20 is removed, and save power.
