Hereinafter, the setup support device and setup support system will be explained with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, the setup operation is supported using a setup support system consisting of a setup support device and a host device, and the feeder set on the device pallet is transported to the component mounting machine that mounts the components on the board. An example of a production line will be explained below.

1. Overview of Production Line 1 As shown in FIG. 1, the production line 1 includes a setup support device 10, a host device 20, and a component mounting machine 30. Here, the setup support device 10 and the host device 20 form a setup support system S. Furthermore, in the production line 1 of this embodiment, between the setup support device 10 and the component mounting machine 30, it is possible to support a plurality of feeders F that supply parts to the component mounting machine 30. A carrier 40 is provided for transporting a device pallet 31 that is removably equipped. For example, the carrier 40 can use an AGV as its drive unit, and can automatically transport the feeder F between the setup support device 10 and the component mounting machine 30.

Here, the feeder F and the device pallet 31 will be explained. As shown in FIG. 2, the feeder F is loaded with a reel R. A carrier tape T is wound around the reel R. There are a plurality of types of reel R depending on the material of the carrier tape T wound thereon, and also the tape width of the carrier tape T and the width of the reel R. There are also a plurality of types of feeders F loaded with reels R of different types.

For this reason, each reel R is displayed with an identification code KR (for example, a bar code or a two-dimensional code) that identifies the individual reel R. Further, on the feeder F into which the reel R is loaded, an identification code KF (for example, a bar code or a two-dimensional code) for identifying the feeder F is displayed. Then, the operator identifies the identification code KR representing the loaded reel R and the feeder F loaded with the reel R using a reading device 14 (see FIG. 4) provided in the setup support device 10, which will be described later. The host device 20 reads the identification code KF and sends the respective identification codes KR and KF to the host device 20.

As shown in FIG. 3, the device pallet 31 is capable of supporting a plurality of feeders F, and has a plurality of slots 311 into which the feeders F are removably set. In the device pallet 31, among the plurality of slots 311, the slot 311 to which the feeder F is attached or the slot 311 to which the feeder F is removed becomes a specific slot 312 in which the feeder F needs to be attached or detached. In the following description, the specific slots 312 may be distinguished from each other, with the specific slot 312 to which the feeder F is attached being referred to as a specific slot 312S, and the specific slot 312 to which the feeder F is removed being referred to as a specific slot 312R.

The setup support device 10 of this embodiment is arranged in an external setup area 2 provided in a production line 1, as shown in FIG. In the external setup area 2, an operator uses the setup support device 10 to perform a kitting operation for loading the reel R onto the feeder F and a setup operation for attaching and detaching the feeder F to the device pallet 31.

In particular, in order to support the setup work by the operator, the setup support device 10 transmits identification codes KR and KF of the reel R and feeder F to the host device 20, as will be described in detail later. Obtain the setup information SI output from. Then, the setup support device 10 guides the specific slot 312 of the device pallet 31 carried by the carrier 40 by moving the light irradiation position based on the acquired setup information SI.

The setup support device 10 includes an irradiation device 11 and a control device 12. The irradiation device 11 has a light source 111, and moves the irradiation position of the light irradiated from the light source 111. The control device 12 transmits the identification codes KR and KF to the host device 20 and acquires the setup information SI from the host device 20.

Then, the control device 12 controls the irradiation device 11 based on the acquired setup information SI, and moves the irradiation position so as to irradiate the specific slot 312 or the feeder F set in the specific slot 312 with light. Thereby, the setup support apparatus 10 supports the setup work by guiding the operator to the position of the specific slot 312 in which the feeder F is set among the plurality of slots 311 of the device pallet 31.

In this embodiment, the reel R and the feeder F can be transported from the warehouse to the external setup area 2 by, for example, a transport vehicle (not shown). Thereby, the operator kits the transported reel R and feeder F in the external setup area 2. Then, in the external setup area 2, the operator attaches the feeder F loaded with the reel R to the specific slot 312S of the device pallet 31 as a setup operation. Further, as a setup work, the operator removes the feeder F from the specific slot 312R of the device pallet 31 that has been removed from the component mounting machine 30 and transported to the external setup area 2 by the carrier 40.

The host device 20 of this embodiment is provided inside or outside the production line 1 and is capable of communicating with the setup support device 10 and the component mounting machine 30. The host device 20 performs verification using the identification code KR of the reel R and the identification code KF of the feeder F transmitted from the setup support device 10, for example, based on preset verification information, a production plan, etc.

Then, the host device 20 uses the verification results of the feeder F and the reel R to determine the

specific slot

312S or 312R based on, for example, a production plan, and sets up information representing the determined

specific slot

312S or 312R. The SI is output to the setup support device 10. Note that the setup information SI includes position information corresponding to a plurality of slots 311 in the device palette 31. More specifically, the setup information SI includes information representing the type of device palette 31, which will be described later, and information for irradiating light toward each slot 311 (for example, angle information, distance information, etc.).

2. Configuration of Setup Support Device 10 As shown in FIG. 1, in the setup support device 10 of this embodiment, the irradiation device 11 is erected and fixed on the floor of the external setup area 2. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the setup support device 10 of this embodiment includes the above-described irradiation device 11 and control device 12, a pair of support members 13 that support the irradiation device 11, and a reading device 14. Be prepared.

The irradiation device 11 of this embodiment includes a light source 111 and a drive section 112. The light source 111 has as a main component a laser pointer 111a that emits laser light L using a semiconductor laser. In this embodiment, the laser pointer 111a is rod-shaped and is configured to irradiate laser light L in a direction along the longitudinal direction. In this embodiment, the irradiation device 11 has only one light source 111, that is, only one laser pointer 111a.

The drive section 112 includes a rotation support section 113 and a motor 114 that rotationally drives the rotation support section 113. The rotational support section 113 moves the irradiation position of the laser beam L by rotating the light source 111, that is, the laser pointer 111a, around the support axis O using the rotational driving force of the motor 114. In this embodiment, the rotation support part 113 supports the laser pointer 111a (light source 111) so that the longitudinal direction of the rod-shaped laser pointer 111a is orthogonal to the support axis O. Thereby, when the rotation support part 113 is rotated by the motor 114, it moves the light from the light source 111, that is, the laser light L from the laser pointer 111a, around the support axis O.

Therefore, as shown by the dashed line in FIG. 4, when the device pallet 31 is arranged in the irradiation direction in which the laser pointer 111a irradiates the laser beam L, the irradiation position of the laser beam L is in the width direction of the device pallet 31. (that is, the direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the slot 311, which is the left-right direction in FIG. 4). As a result, the driving unit 112 changes the rotation angle of the rotary support unit 113 by the motor 114, so that the laser beam L irradiated from the laser pointer 111a (light source 111) The irradiation position of can be moved on the device palette 31.

Here, the irradiation device 11 directly irradiates the laser beam L to the specific slot 312 of the device pallet 31 and the specific slot 312S to which the feeder F will be attached from now on. On the other hand, the irradiation device 11 irradiates the feeder F with the laser beam L in a specific slot 312R of the device pallet 31, in which the feeder F has already been set and is to be removed.

The control device 12 has a computer device having a CPU, ROM, RAM, various interfaces, etc. as its main components, and controls the operation of the setup support device 10 in an integrated manner. The control device 12 communicates with the host device 20 via a network (not shown). Through this communication, the control device 12 transmits the identification codes KR and KF read by the reading device 14 to the host device 20, and receives and acquires the setup information SI from the host device 20. Then, the control device 12 controls the operation of the light source 111 (laser pointer 111a) and drive unit 112 (motor 114) of the irradiation device 11 based on the acquired setup information SI.

The support member 13 is erected on the floor surface of the external setup area 2, and supports the irradiation device 11 at the upper end side. The support member 13 has a positioning hole 13a for positioning the device pallet 31 transported by the carrier 40 with respect to the irradiation device 11. Thereby, the support member 13 can position the device pallet 31 at a predetermined position with respect to the irradiation device 11 by inserting the positioning pin 41 (see FIG. 1) provided on the carrier 40 into the positioning hole 13a. can. By positioning the device pallet 31 at a predetermined position with respect to the irradiation device 11, the range of light irradiation by the irradiation device 11, more specifically, the range of light irradiation by the laser pointer 111a (light source 111). At least some of the plurality of slots 311 of the device pallet 31 are located in the irradiation range. Therefore, as described above, by moving the irradiation position of the laser beam L, the laser beam L can irradiate each slot 311, that is, the specific slot 312.

The main component of the reading device 14 is a scanner device capable of reading barcodes, two-dimensional codes, etc. Then, the reading device 14 reads the identification codes KR and KF for identifying the reel R and the feeder F, and outputs the read identification codes KR and KF to the control device 12. Here, the reading device 14 is immovably fixed and reads the identification codes KR and KF of the reel R and feeder F placed at a reading position by the worker, or it is a hand scanner and is read by the worker. It is possible to read the identification codes KR and KF by moving the camera.

3. Host device 20
The host device 20 is a computer device whose main components are a CPU, ROM, RAM, and various interfaces. The host device 20 sends and receives various information to and from the setup support device 10 and the component mounting machine 30 that are connected to the production line 1 via a network (not shown), and supervises the entire production line 1. functions as a host computer that controls the

As shown in FIG. 5, the host device 20 includes an input section 21, a collation section 22, a determination section 23, and an output section 24. The input unit 21 inputs the identification code KR of the reel R and the identification code KF of the feeder F from the control device 12 of the setup support device 10. The input unit 21 then supplies the input identification codes KR and KF to the collation unit 22.

Here, the input unit 21 is not limited to inputting the identification codes KR and KF, but can also input information such as a production plan created by a manager or the like, for example. The input various information can be temporarily stored in a storage device (not shown) provided in the host device 20 (computer).

The verification unit 22 obtains the identification codes KR and KF input by the input unit 21. The collation unit 22 collates the reel R and feeder F kitted by the operator using the identification codes KR and KF. Here, when comparing the kitted reel R and feeder F, the matching unit 22 can perform the matching by referring to information such as preset matching information and a production plan, for example. Then, the matching unit 22 supplies verification information VI representing the verified matching result to the determining unit 23.

The determining unit 23 acquires the verification information VI supplied by the collating unit 22. The determining unit 23 uses the verification information VI to generate setup information SI representing the specific slot 312 (specific slot 312S or specific slot 312R) in which the feeder F loaded with the reel R is set. Here, in generating the setup information SI, the determining unit 23 can refer to information such as a production plan, for example. Then, the determining unit 23 supplies the generated setup information SI to the output unit 24.

The output unit 24 acquires the setup information SI generated and supplied by the determination unit 23. Then, the output unit 24 outputs the setup information SI to the control device 12 of the setup support device 10 via a network (not shown).

4. Operation of Setup Support System S Next, the operation of the setup support system S including the setup support device 10 and the host device 20 will be described. In the setup support system S, when the setup support device 10 sends the identification codes KR and KF to the host device 20 (see FIG. 1), the host device 20 generates verification information VI. Setup information SI is generated based on the VI (see FIG. 5). In the setup support system S, setup information SI is output from the host device 20 to the setup support device 10 (see FIG. 5).

In the setup support device 10, the control device 12 acquires the setup information SI output from the host device 20 (see FIG. 1). Then, the control device 12 controls the operation of the irradiation device 11 based on the setup information SI, and irradiates the specific slot 312 (specific slot 312S or specific slot 312R) in the device palette 31 with the laser beam L (see FIG. 4). ).

By the way, as described above, there are multiple types of kitted reels R and feeders F. Therefore, there are a plurality of types of device pallets 31 on which the feeder F is set, depending on, for example, the widthwise dimension of the feeder F (that is, the thickness of the feeder F).

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, when the pitch of the slots 311 of the device pallet 31, that is, the inter-feeder pitch P1 corresponding to the width of the feeder F to be set, is large, the control device 12 , the rotation angle of the rotary support part 113 about the support axis O is set large in accordance with the inter-feeder pitch P1, and corresponds to the specific slot 312 (specific slot 312S or specific slot 312R). On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, when the inter-feeder pitch P2 in the device pallet 31 is small, the control device 12 rotates the rotary support part 113 around the support axis O according to the inter-feeder pitch P2 based on the setup information SI. The rotation angle is set small to correspond to the specific slot 312 (specific slot 312S or specific slot 312R).

As a result, as shown in FIG. 6, in the case of the device pallet 31 having a large inter-feeder pitch P1, the laser pointer 111a (light source 111) is rotated by increasing the rotation angle around the support axis O. Therefore, the laser pointer 111a (light source 111) can irradiate the specific slot 312 (specific slot 312S or specific slot 312R) with laser light in accordance with the inter-feeder pitch P1.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, in the case of the device pallet 31 having a narrow inter-feeder pitch P2, the light source 111 (laser pointer 111a) is rotated (finely) with a small rotation angle around the support axis O. Therefore, the laser pointer 111a (light source 111) can irradiate the specific slot 312 (specific slot 312S or specific slot 312R) with laser light L in accordance with the inter-feeder pitch P2.

Therefore, in the setup support system S, more specifically, in the setup support device 10, one type of irradiation device 11 is configured to respond to different device pallets 31, that is, to respond to different inter-feeder pitches P1 and P2, based on the setup information SI. Accordingly, the specific slot 312 (specific slot 312S or specific slot 312R) can be irradiated with the laser beam L. Thereby, the setup support system S (setup support device 10) can guide the specific slot 312 according to the type of the device palette 31, and can support the setup work by the operator.

Note that FIGS. 6 and 7 show a state in which the laser beam L is irradiated onto the groove bottom of the specific slot 312 (specific slot 312S or specific slot 312R). However, in a case where the visibility for the operator is not deteriorated, the laser beam L may irradiate the groove wall (side wall) of the specific slot 312 (specific slot 312S or specific slot 312R).

As can be understood from the above description, the setup support device 10 supplies components to the irradiation device 11, which can move the irradiation position of the light emitted from the light source 111, and the component mounting machine 30, which mounts the components on the board. The irradiation device 11 is controlled based on the setup information SI representing the specific slot 312 in which the feeder F needs to be attached or detached among the plurality of slots 311 in which the feeder F is set to be detachable, and the irradiation device 11 is set to the specific slot 312 or It includes a control device 12 that moves the irradiation position so that the set feeder F is irradiated with light.

According to the setup support device 10, the control device 12 controls the irradiation device 11 based on the setup information SI, and moves the irradiation position of the light (laser light L) from the light source 111 (laser pointer 111a) to a specific slot. 312 or the feeder F set in the specific slot 312 can be irradiated with light. As a result, the setup support device 10 can handle different types of feeders F and device pallets 31 having slots 311 in which feeders F are set, specifically, even when the pitches P1 and P2 between feeders in the device pallets 31 are different. , one type of irradiation device 11 can irradiate the specific slot 312 or the feeder F set in the specific slot 312 with light (laser light L). Therefore, the setup support device 10 does not need to prepare multiple types of irradiation devices 11 according to the types of device pallets 31, etc., and can support the setup work of the operator with an inexpensive configuration.

5. First Modified Example In the embodiment described above, the setup support device 10 is fixed to the external setup area 2. However, as shown in FIG. 8, it is also possible to configure a setup support device 50 including a portable irradiation device 51 to be attached to and detached from the device pallet 31. The setup support device 50 of the first modification will be described below.

Note that the light source 511 (laser pointer 511a) and drive section 512 (rotation support section 513 and motor 514) that constitute the irradiation device 51 are the same as the light source 111 (laser pointer 111a) and drive section of the setup support device 10 of the embodiment described above. 112 (rotation support part 113 and motor 114), the explanation thereof will be omitted. Further, although not shown, the setup support device 50 is also provided with a control device and a reading device that operate in the same manner as the control device 12 and the reading device 14 of the setup support device 10 of the above-described embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 8, the setup support device 50 differs from the setup support device 10 of the embodiment described above in that the support member 13 is omitted and a holding member 53 is provided. In the first modification, a positioning pin 32 for positioning the setup support device 50 is provided on the device pallet 31. Therefore, the holding member 53 is provided with a positioning hole 53a through which the positioning pin 32 of the device pallet 31 is inserted to position the device pallet 31 with respect to the setup support apparatus 50.

Thereby, the operator attaches the irradiation device 51 of the setup support device 50 to the device pallet 31 placed on the carrier 40 in the external setup area 2, for example. In this case, the operator inserts the positioning pins 32 provided on the device pallet 31 into the positioning holes 53a provided on the holding member 53 and fixes them to the setup support device 50, more specifically, the irradiation device 51. On the other hand, the device pallet 31 is positioned at a predetermined position.

In the setup support device 50, when the irradiation device 51 is attached to the device pallet 31, the drive unit 512 (rotation support unit 513 and A motor 514) rotates the light source 511, ie, the laser pointer 511a, around the support axis O. Thereby, the laser pointer 511a can irradiate the specific slot 312 (specific slot 312S or specific slot 312R) with the laser beam L. Therefore, the same effects as in the above-described embodiment can be obtained also in the first modification.

6. Second Modification In the embodiment and first modification described above, the irradiation device 11 of the setup support device 10 directly irradiates the specific slot 312 of the device pallet 31. Instead or in addition to this, as shown in FIG. 9, a sticker 60 attached to the device pallet 31 may be irradiated as an irradiated member which is an identification part.

The sticker 60 displays information (for example, number, groove width, etc.) for identifying each slot 311 of the device pallet 31, and is attached to the corresponding slot 311. For example, the light source 111 (laser pointer 111a) of the irradiation device 11 of the setup support device 10 corresponds to the specific slot 312 (specific slot 312S or specific slot 312R), as shown in FIG. 9, based on the setup information SI. irradiate the seal 60. Thereby, the seal 60 for identifying each slot 311 becomes the seal 60 as an identification portion for identifying the specific slot 312 (specific slot 312S or specific slot 312R) by being irradiated by the irradiation device 11. The seal 60 only needs to correspond to the slot 311 and be attached so that it can be recognized by the operator. For example, the seal 60 can be attached to the groove bottom or groove wall of the groove-shaped slot 311.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 10, a seal 61 attached to the feeder F may be irradiated as the irradiated member. The sticker 61 displays information for identifying the feeder F (for example, a number, an identification symbol, etc.), and is attached to the corresponding feeder F. For example, the light source 111 (laser pointer 111a) of the irradiation device of the setup support device 10 is attached to the specific slot 312 (specific slot 312S or specific slot 312R) as shown in FIG. 10 based on the setup information SI. The seal 61 attached to the feeder F that is being set (set) is irradiated. Thereby, the seal 61 that identifies the feeder F becomes the seal 61 as an identification portion that identifies the specific slot 312S or the specific slot 312R by being irradiated by the irradiation device 11.

Note that when the light source 111 (laser pointer 111a) of the irradiation device 11 or the light source 511 (laser pointer 511a) of the irradiation device 51 irradiates the

seals

60, 61, for example, the intensity of the light reflected by the

seals

60, 61 is It may be small and not easily visible to the operator. In this case, the

seals

60 and 61 can be formed from a material that easily scatters light (laser light L) and attached to the slot 311 or the feeder F. As a result, the

seals

60 and 61 reflect the irradiated light (laser light L), thereby improving visibility for the operator. Therefore, it is possible to clearly guide the operator to the specific slot 312 (specific slot 312S or specific slot 312R).

7. Third Modified Example In the embodiment and the first modified example described above, the specific slot 312 is irradiated with dotted laser light L. However, the shape (spot shape) of the laser light L emitted from the light source 111 or the light source 511 is not limited to a dot shape. That is, as shown in FIG. 11, the light source 111 or the light source 511 can emit, for example, a circular or elliptical ring-shaped laser beam L. In this case, the

setup support devices

10, 50 can emit ring-shaped light (laser light L) from the

light sources

111, 511 of the

irradiation devices

11, 51, so that, for example, adjacent specific slots 312 (specific slots 312S or The position of the specific slot 312R) can be guided to the operator.

8. Other Modifications In the embodiment and each modification described above, the

light sources

111, 511 of the

irradiation devices

11, 51 use the

laser pointers

111a, 511a to irradiate the laser light L with a short wavelength. However, the

light sources

111 and 511 are not limited to emitting laser light L having a short wavelength and high straightness. For example, the

light sources

111 and 511 may emit light from an LED, a light bulb, or the like having a longer wavelength than the laser light L, and may irradiate the specific slot 312 of the device palette 31. In this case, although the light irradiation range is slightly wider than when using the laser beam L, it is possible to guide the operator to the specific slot 312 (specific slot 312S or specific slot 312R). Therefore, the same effects as the embodiment and each modification described above can be obtained.

Further, in the embodiment and each modification described above, the

drive parts

112, 512 of the

irradiation devices

11, 51 have the rotation support parts 113, 513 that are rotationally driven by the

motors

114, 514, and the laser of the

light sources

111, 511 The

pointers

111a and 511a are rotated around the support axis O. Instead, the driving

units

112 and 512 of the

irradiation devices

11 and 51 can move the

light sources

111 and 511 in the arrangement direction of the plurality of slots 311 provided in the device pallet 31 (for example, in the width direction of the device pallet 31). It is also possible to move the slot 311 along a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the slot 311 extends.

In this case, for example, the control device 12 of the setup support device 10 operates the drive unit 112 based on the setup information SI, and directs the light source 111 ( The laser pointer 111a), that is, the irradiation position is moved linearly. Then, the control device 12 irradiates the light source 111 (laser pointer 111a) that has been moved to the corresponding position with the laser beam L. Thereby, the laser beam L irradiates the specific slot 312 (specific slot 312S or specific slot 312R), for example, in a straight line from above to below. Therefore, it is possible to guide the operator to the specific slot 312 (specific slot 312S or specific slot 312R), and the same effects as the embodiment and each modification described above can be obtained.

Furthermore, the light emitted by the

light sources

111 and 511 is not limited to monochromatic light. For example, it is also possible to change the color of the light emitted by the

light sources

111, 511 depending on the type of device pallet 31, the type of feeder F, etc. Even in this case, the specific slot 312 (specific slot 312S or specific slot 312R) can be guided to the operator. Therefore, also in this case, the same effects as the embodiment and each modification described above can be obtained.

Furthermore, in the embodiment and each modification described above, the

light sources

111, 511 of the

irradiation devices

11, 51 have one

laser pointer

111a, 511a. In the embodiment and each modified example described above, the

drive unit

112, 512 rotates one

laser pointer

111a, 511a around the support axis O or moves it linearly to guide the

laser pointer

111a, 511a. The specific slot 312 (specific slot 312S or specific slot 312R) is irradiated.

However, the

light sources

111, 511 are not limited to having only one

laser pointer

111a, 511a (that is, one light source 111, 511), and may have a plurality of

laser pointers

111a, 511a, for example. However, if a plurality of

light sources

111, 511 are used, manufacturing costs may increase, so it is preferable to use one

light source

111, 511 as in the embodiment and each modification example described above.
