Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a component supply device using a component supply stick used when assembling an IC (integrated circuit) or the like onto a printed circuit board.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a component supply device using this type of component supply stick, for example, those shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are known. Figure 1 (al is a perspective view showing one minute of the parts supply stick molded from resin such as plastic; Figure 1 fb
) is a view taken from the direction of arrow A. Reference numeral 2 in the figure is a hollow portion for mounting supply parts such as ICs (not shown). FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a take-out device for taking out the stick 1. In the figure, 3 is a magazine for storing the stick 1 loaded with parts, and the sticks 1 are stored in layers. Reference numeral 4 denotes a cylinder for taking out the empty stick (lowest stick) 1a after all the mounted parts have been supplied, and the stick 1ak is pushed out by the piston rod 5. 6 is the overall base,
The dimension B between the lower end of the magazine 3 and the lower end of the magazine 3 is set to be slightly larger than the height of the stick 1 so that the empty stick 1a can be pushed out by the piston rod 5.

In the component supply device configured as above, the IC
Several sticks 1 loaded with supply parts such as the above are stored in the magazine 3 in a stacked state. A supplied component, for example, an IC, is taken out from the stick 1a at the lowest end in the longitudinal direction of the stick (direction perpendicular to the plane of the paper in FIG. 2) by a component removal mechanism (not shown). And the installed IC
When all the sticks are taken out, the empty stick 1a becomes H.

It is pushed out to the side of the magazine 4 on the opposite side by the stone rod 5. When the piston rod 5 returns to its original position, the next stick 1 drops and the above component feeding operation is repeated.

However, in a component supply device using such a conventional component supply stick, when an empty stick 1a is taken out from the magazine 13, the cylinder 4 moves the stick 1a to the opposite side of the magazine 3. Because it was configured to be pushed out, there was a lot of space on the sides of the magazine 3.
The disadvantage is that the entire parts supply device occupies a large amount of space, especially when a large number of different parts are required.

This invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional technology.The present invention eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional parts supplying stick by forming a stick for supplying parts from an elastic body, and by providing notches in the longitudinal direction from both ends of the stick. The object of the present invention is to provide a parts feeding device using a parts feeding stick that does not require a large space for taking out parts, can shorten the transport distance for feeding parts, and has an improved assembly speed. .

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 2. The same parts as before are given the same numbers.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the parts supply stick 11 according to the present invention. This stick 11 is made of an elastic material, and has notches 1 extending longitudinally from both ends of the horizontal wall surface.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a take-out device 13 that supplies all the loaded parts and takes out an empty stick lla. In the figure, 14 is provided below both ends of the magazine 3. a support member that supports the Stiso 411;
15 is a notch provided in the wall surface of the magazine 3 adjacent to this support member 14, 16 is a metal fitting for fixing the magazine 3 to the base 6, 17.17 is a front and rear grip for gripping the stick 11a, - respectively. A claw 17a that can be opened and closed engages with the position of the notch 15 of the magazine 3 and grips the stick 1lae.

17a and an air chuck 17b for opening and closing the claw. 18a, 18b, 18c, 18d are link mechanisms that support the grip 17; 19 is a grip 17.17
It is a cylinder that moves up and down.

FIG. 5 shows a side view of the IT line 1 in FIG.
The support member 14 provided on the magazine 3 is a stick 11
Rather than supporting the entire lower surface of the holder, only a portion of both ends of the holder are supported, so that an opening of dimension C is formed as shown in the figure. In addition, FIGS. 6A and 6B show a side view and a bottom view of the main parts of the magazine 3 in which the sticks 11 are accommodated.

Figure 7 shows a sectional view taken along the line 11-■ in Figure 4, and Figure 8 (
a), (bl, and c) show the order in which the empty sticks 11a are taken out.The position of the grip 17 of the take-out device 13 is such that the claws 17a, 17a are in the magazine 3 when viewed in the longitudinal direction of the stick 11. Notch 1 provided in the wall
It is installed to match position 5.

That is, when closing the claws 17a, 17a, the notch 15 of the magazine 3 is present, so that the claws 17a can be closed to an area smaller than the width of the magazine 30.

The operation will be explained based on the above configuration.

Supply parts, such as Sooty Sok 11 equipped with IC,
A plurality of sticks are stored in a stacked state in the magazine 3, and 1. C is taken out.

The stick Ila is empty after all ICs have been taken out.
As shown in FIG. 8, it is taken out by the taking out device 13. That is, the claws 17a, 17a of the grip 17 enter through the notch 15 of the magazine 3 by the cylinder 19, the claws 17a, 17a are closed by the air chuck 17b tb+, and the elastic stick Ila enters the notch 1.
2, its ends are deformed. Then, the stick 11a held by the claws 17a, 17a is taken out from below the magazine 3 (C). Figure 9-, 8th
A cross-sectional view taken along the line l1l-I of FIG.
As shown in , the dimension is 0, and the support member 1 of the magazine 3
It is smaller than the width C dimension of the opening in No. 4. Therefore, nail 1
7a, 17ak When the cylinder 19 is operated in the closed state tt to lower the grip 17, the stick 11a at the lowest end can be taken out below the magazine 3 through the opening of the support member 14. At the same time, the upper stick 11 sequentially moves downward, and the mounted components are completely supplied for assembly of printed circuit boards, etc., and the above component supply operation is repeated.

Note that the parts supplied by the stick are not limited to ICs, and the present invention can also be applied to the case of supplying other parts.

As explained above, according to the present invention, the configuration is a parts supply stick equipped with a parts supply stick on which a supply part is mounted, a magazine for accommodating this stick, and a take-out device for taking out a stick from this magazine. In this device, the stick for supplying components is made of an elastic material, and two notches are provided in the longitudinal direction from both ends of the stick, so that it is possible to supply the loaded components and then take out the empty stick directly downward. This eliminates the need to provide a large space for taking out the sticks, which has the effect of reducing the area occupied by the entire device.
Moreover, the transport distance for supplying parts can be shortened, and the assembly speed of parts can be improved.
