Description

  The present invention relates to a component supply device that supplies small components to a concave portion of a carrier tape, and a taping device that includes the component supply device.

FIG. 6 shows a schematic configuration of a conventional taping device.
As shown in FIG. 6, the taping device includes a carrier tape supply reel 200 around which a carrier tape 100 in which a plurality of recesses 100 a are formed at predetermined intervals is wound, a transport unit 300 that transports the carrier tape 100, and a component insertion position P. In FIG. 5, the insertion means 400 for inserting the electronic component A such as a semiconductor chip into the recess 100a of the carrier tape 100, the cover tape supply reel 500 around which the cover tape 600 is wound, and the seal for adhering the cover tape 600 to the upper surface of the carrier tape 100 Means 700 and a carrier tape take-up reel 800 are provided.

  Hereinafter, the basic operation of the taping device will be described with reference to FIG. First, the carrier tape 100 is sent out from the carrier tape supply reel 200 by the conveying means 300. Then, the electronic parts A are sequentially inserted into the recesses 100a of the carrier tape 100 conveyed intermittently by the inserting means 400. The cover tape 600 fed out from the cover tape supply reel 500 is superposed on the concave portion 100a of the carrier tape 100 in which the electronic component A is inserted, and the cover tape 600 is heated by the sealing means 700 to be heated on the upper surface of the carrier tape 100. Is pasted. The carrier tape 100 to which the cover tape 600 is attached is wound around the carrier tape take-up reel 800.

  By the way, the concave portion of the carrier tape may not be accurately arranged at the component insertion position due to the influence of the mechanical position shift that occurs during the conveyance of the carrier tape or the extension of the carrier tape due to the tension in the conveyance direction. If an electronic component is inserted without the concave portion being accurately positioned at the component insertion position, the electronic component protrudes from the concave portion, or the electronic component is tilted in contact with the edge of the concave portion. When the taping process is performed in such a storage state, problems such as electronic parts breaking through the cover tape occur. For this reason, it is indispensable to accurately position the recess with respect to the component insertion position in order to improve the quality of the product.

  In addition, with recent downsizing of electronic components and concomitant narrowing of the concave portions of the carrier tape, it is required to accurately align the concave portions with respect to the component insertion positions.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problem, the taping apparatus shown in FIG. 6 includes a concave portion imaging unit 900 that images the concave portion 100a of the carrier tape 100 from above (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The recess imaging means 900 is disposed upstream in the transport direction from the component insertion position, and can capture the position of the electronic component A before imaging the recess 100a. The positional information of the image of the recess 100a imaged by the imaging unit 900 is compared with a predetermined position of the recess corresponding to the component insertion position by an image recognition unit (not shown), and the shift amount is calculated. Then, the operation of the conveying unit 300 is controlled based on the calculated deviation amount, the deviation amount is corrected, and the concave portion 100a is arranged at the component insertion position.
JP-A-10-13088

  However, since the imaging of the concave portion by the concave portion imaging means is performed on the upstream side in the conveying direction from the component insertion position, the mechanical displacement and the carrier are not detected until the concave portion is imaged and arranged at the component insertion position. Tape stretching may occur. For this reason, even if the image of the concave portion is picked up by the image pickup means, there is a problem that the concave portion cannot be accurately arranged at the component insertion position due to the influence of the mechanical displacement and the extension of the carrier tape that occur thereafter.

  In addition, there is a conventional taping device configured such that a camera that captures an image of a concave portion of a carrier tape and a nozzle that inserts an electronic component into the concave portion are alternately disposed immediately above the component insertion position (for example, JP, 2005-35569, A). According to this configuration, since the concave portion of the carrier tape is imaged from directly above by the camera, it is possible to accurately grasp the position of the concave portion without being affected by the mechanical positional deviation and the extension of the carrier tape as described above. Is possible. However, every time a part is inserted into the recess, the camera must be retracted from directly above the part insertion position, so that there is a disadvantage that productivity is lowered.

  Therefore, in view of the above problems, the present invention provides a component supply device and a taping device that can accurately insert a small component such as an electronic component into a concave portion of a carrier tape and can improve productivity.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a conveying means for conveying a carrier tape in which a plurality of recesses for inserting small parts are formed at a predetermined interval, and holding the small parts and placing the small parts on the carrier tape at a part insertion position The amount of deviation between the insertion means for inserting into the recess, the recess imaging means for imaging the recess of the carrier tape, and the position of the recess image captured by the recess imaging means and the predetermined position of the recess corresponding to the component insertion position And a positioning unit that aligns the concave portion with the component insertion position, wherein the concave portion imaging unit is disposed so as to image the concave portion from directly above the component insertion position, and the insertion is performed. A plurality of means are arranged at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction of the rotary conveyance mechanism, and the insertion means is moved to the concave portion imaging hand by rotating the rotary conveyance mechanism. The small part is inserted into the concave part in sequence at the part insertion position directly below the concave part, and the concave part is picked up by the concave part imaging means in a state where the insertion means is other than directly below the concave part imaging means. It is configured.

  According to the configuration of the present invention, since the concave portion of the carrier tape can be imaged from directly above the component insertion position by the concave portion imaging means, the position of the concave portion can be accurately grasped. Thereby, the subsequent alignment of the concave portion with the component insertion position can be performed with high accuracy.

  Further, it is possible to image the recess while the recess imaging means is fixed. As a result, it is not necessary to retract the recess imaging means (camera) from directly above the component insertion position as in the prior art (the above-mentioned JP-A-2005-35569), so that productivity can be improved.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the component supply apparatus according to the first aspect, the rotary transport mechanism is configured to intermittently rotate by a half pitch between insertion means adjacent in the circumferential direction. When the rotary conveyance mechanism is rotated by a half pitch between the insertion means from a state where the means is disposed at the component insertion position, the concave portion is picked up by the concave portion imaging means.

  When the rotary conveyance mechanism is rotated half a pitch between the insertion means from the state where the insertion means is arranged at the component insertion position, the insertion means arranged at the component insertion position is rotated by the half pitch from the component insertion position. It is arranged at a position shifted forward in the direction. Further, the insertion means adjacent to the rear of the insertion means in the rotation direction is arranged at a position shifted from the component insertion position to the rear in the rotation direction by the half pitch. In other words, the insertion means is arranged at a position other than directly below the recess imaging means. As a result, the concave portion of the carrier tape can be imaged from directly above the component insertion position by the concave portion imaging means.

  A third aspect of the present invention is the component supply apparatus according to the first or second aspect, further comprising: a component imaging unit that images the small component held by the insertion unit; and the position of the image of the small component captured by the component imaging unit. Based on the amount of deviation from the predetermined holding position with respect to the small component insertion means, the positioning means controls the concave portion to be aligned with the small component disposed at the component insertion position. is there.

  This makes it possible to correct the shift of the holding position with respect to the insertion means for the small component when aligning the concave portion with the component insertion position, and to accurately insert the small component into the concave portion.

  A fourth aspect of the present invention is the component supply apparatus according to any one of the first to third aspects, further comprising a rotation direction correction unit that corrects the rotation direction of the small component held by the insertion unit. is there.

  Thereby, it becomes possible to insert a small component into a recessed part more correctly.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the component supply apparatus according to the fourth aspect, the rotation direction correcting unit contacts an edge of the small component held by the insertion unit and changes the direction of the small component in the rotation direction. It has a contact part to do.

  With a simple configuration, the direction of the rotation direction of the small component can be corrected.

  A sixth aspect of the present invention is the component supply apparatus according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, and a sealing means for attaching and sealing a cover tape to a concave portion into which a small component is inserted by the component supply apparatus. It is a taping device provided with.

  By applying the component supply device according to any one of claims 1 to 5 to the taping device, the small component can be accurately inserted into the concave portion of the carrier tape. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the cover tape from being broken due to a component insertion error.

  According to the component supply device and the taping device including the component supply device of the present invention, the concave portion of the carrier tape can be imaged from directly above the component insertion position by the concave portion imaging means, so that the position of the concave portion can be accurately grasped. Can do. Thereby, the subsequent alignment of the concave portion with the component insertion position can be performed with high accuracy.

  Since the positioning of the recesses can be performed with high accuracy in this way, it is possible to insert the small components accurately even in the recesses that store the small components with a narrow clearance.

  In addition, since it is not necessary to retract the recess imaging means from directly above the component insertion position as in the prior art, it is possible to improve productivity.

  FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of a taping device including a component supply device of the present invention. Hereinafter, the configuration of the taping device will be described with reference to FIG.

  The 1st turntable 13 is comprised so that it may rotate intermittently for every half pitch between the insertion means 4 and 4 which adjoins. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, eight insertion means 4 are arranged at equal intervals on the first rotary table 13, so that the angle between the insertion means 4 is 45 °. The rotation pitch α of the first turntable 13 is set to an angle of 22.5 °, which is half of the angle 45 ° between the insertion means 4.

  On the other hand, the second turntable 23 is disposed above the first turntable 13 and rotates around the vertical axis. A plurality of supply means 5 are arranged in a suspended manner at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction on the peripheral edge of the second rotary table 23. The suction head of each supply means 5 is configured to advance and retract in the vertical direction.

  The second rotary table 23 is also configured to intermittently rotate by a half pitch between the adjacent supply means 5 and 5. In FIG. 1, since the 12 insertion means 5 are arrange | positioned at equal intervals in the 2nd rotation table 23, the angle between each supply means 5 will be 30 degrees. Accordingly, the rotation pitch β of the second rotary table 23 is set to an angle 15 ° which is half of the angle 30 ° between the supply means 5.

  The insertion means 4 is arranged at the component insertion position P at the lowermost part of the first rotary table 13. The uppermost part of the first rotary table 13 is a supply position Q for supplying the electronic component A from the supply means 5 to the insertion means 4. Note that the rotation of the first rotary table 13 and the rotation of the second rotary table 23 are controlled so that the insertion means 4 and the supply means 5 are arranged to face each other at the supply position Q almost simultaneously.

  The sealing unit 8 is a unit that is attached to the carrier tape 1 by a method such as heating the cover tape 6. The cover tape supply reel 7 and the sealing means 8 are attached to a frame body (not shown) provided integrally with the movable stage 3.

  The recess imaging unit 9, the component imaging unit 10, and the storage state imaging unit 11 are composed of, for example, a CCD camera. The recessed portion imaging means 9 is disposed above the second rotary table 23 and immediately above the component insertion position P. The recess imaging means 9 is configured to image the recess 1a of the carrier tape 1 from directly above.

  The component imaging unit 10 is disposed in the middle of the movement path of the insertion unit 4 from the supply position Q to the component insertion position P. In FIG. 1, the component imaging means 10 is disposed sideways facing the position where the insertion means 4 is rotated 90 ° from the supply position Q.

  The storage state imaging means 11 is disposed downstream of the component insertion position P in the feeding direction (arrow Z direction) of the carrier tape 1 and upstream of the sealing means 8.

  In addition, the rotation direction correction unit 14 corrects the direction of the rotation direction of the electronic component A held by the insertion unit 4 in the course of the movement path from the supply position Q to the part imaging unit 10 until the insertion unit 4 moves. Is arranged. As shown in FIG. 2, the rotation direction correction means 14 has a contact portion 15 that contacts the edge of the electronic component A and changes the direction of the electronic component A in the rotation direction. The contact portion 15 is configured to be able to advance and retract to the electronic component A side held by the insertion means 4 by an actuator such as a piston cylinder.

  Image information picked up by each of the concave portion image pickup means 9, the component image pickup means 10 and the storage state image pickup means 10 is transmitted to the image recognition means 21 shown in FIG. And the control part 20 moves the movable stage 3 based on the information processed by the image recognition means 21, and arrange | positions the recessed part 1a of the carrier tape 1 in the component insertion position P. FIG. That is, the movable stage 3, the control unit 20, and the image recognition unit 21 function as an alignment unit that aligns the recess 1 a with the component insertion position P.

Hereinafter, the operation of the taping device will be described.
In FIG. 1, by rotating the second turntable 23 in one direction at a predetermined rotation pitch β, the supply means 5 that holds the electronic component A by suction is moved in the circumferential direction. The first turntable 13 is also rotated at a predetermined rotation pitch α in one direction, and the insertion means 4 is moved in the circumferential direction.

  At the supply position Q, with the supply means 5 holding the electronic component A and the insertion means 4 facing each other, the suction head of the supply means 5 is lowered and the electronic component A is received by the suction head of the insertion means 4 facing upward. hand over. The insertion means 4 that has received the electronic component A is moved to the lower component insertion position P as the first rotary table 13 rotates. In the middle of the movement, the rotation direction correcting means 14 corrects the direction of the electronic component A in the rotation direction. Thereafter, an image of the electronic component A is captured by the component imaging means 10. The image of the electronic component A captured by the component imaging unit 10 is transmitted to the image recognition unit 21.

  In the state shown in FIG. 1, the insertion means 4 at the component insertion position P and the other insertion means 4 and the supply means 5 facing each other at the supply position Q are arranged immediately below the recess imaging means 9. In this state, since the insertion means 4 and the supply means 5 overlap the visual field of the concave portion imaging means 9, the concave portion 1a of the carrier tape 1 cannot be imaged.

  Therefore, from the state shown in FIG. 1, the insertion means 4 and the supply means 5 are moved by one rotation pitch, respectively, so that the state shown in FIG. 3 is obtained. The state shown in FIG. 3 is a position where the insertion means 4 and the supply means 5 are shifted by a half pitch from directly below the recess imaging means 9 (between the insertion means 4 and 4 and between the supply means 5 and 5). Therefore, the insertion means 4 and the supply means 5 do not overlap with the visual field of the recess imaging means 9. As a result, the concave portion imaging means 9 can image the concave portion 1a immediately below. The first rotary table 13 and the second rotary table 23 are disposed so as not to block the visual field of the concave portion imaging means 9.

  The image information of the recess 1 a captured by the recess imaging unit 9 is transmitted to the image recognition unit 21. Then, based on the information processed by the image recognition means 21, the recess 1a is aligned with the component insertion position P.

This alignment method will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 4 shows a monitor screen of the image recognition means 21. On the monitor screen, a position 16 of the image of the captured recess 1a and a predetermined position 17 of the recess 1a corresponding to the component insertion position P are displayed. The image recognition means 21 compares the position 16 of the captured image of the recess 1a with the predetermined position 17, and calculates the vertical shift amount ΔY and the horizontal shift amount ΔX.

  FIG. 5 shows another monitor screen of the image recognition means 21. On this monitor screen, a position 18 of the imaged electronic component A and a predetermined holding position 19 with respect to the insertion means 4 of the electronic component A are displayed. The image recognition means 21 compares the position 18 of the captured image of the electronic component A with the predetermined holding position 19 and calculates the vertical shift amount ΔY ′ and the horizontal shift amount ΔX ′.

  Control is performed based on the vertical and horizontal shift amounts (ΔY and ΔX) of the recess 1a and the vertical and horizontal shift amounts (ΔY ′ and ΔX ′) of the electronic component A calculated by the image recognition means 21. The unit 20 moves the movable stage 3 in the direction of the arrow X and the direction of the arrow Y in FIG. In this way, the recess 1a is aligned.

  Then, the suction head of the insertion means 4 disposed at the component insertion position P is lowered, and the electronic component A is inserted into the concave portion 1a where the alignment is completed. Thereafter, similarly, the electronic component A is inserted into the recesses 1a sequentially arranged at the component insertion position P.

  The concave portion 1a in which the electronic component A is stored is sent downstream, and the storage state is imaged by the storage state imaging means 10. Image information captured by the storage state imaging unit 10 is transmitted to the image recognition unit 21. The image recognizing means 21 determines whether the electronic component A is stored in the recess 1a based on the transmitted storage state image information, whether the electronic component A is present, whether the electronic component A is present, and whether the surface of the electronic component A is printed. Do.

  If it is determined that the storage state of the electronic component A in the recess 1a is bad or the printing state is bad, the electronic component A stored in the recess 1a is removed, and the recess 1a is returned to the component insertion position P. The electronic component A is stored again. Also, when it is determined that the electronic component A is not stored in the recess 1a, the recess 1a is returned to the component insertion position P and the electronic component A is stored.

  The operation of returning the recess 1a to the component insertion position P is performed by moving the movable stage 3. When the recess 1a is returned to the component insertion position P, the insertion means 4 and the supply means 5 are arranged in the same state as shown in FIG. That is, since the insertion means 4 and the supply means 5 are disposed at a position shifted by a half pitch from directly below the recess imaging means 9, the recess imaging means 9 can image the recess 1 a immediately below.

  The image information of the recess 1a captured by the recess imaging unit 9 and the image information of the electronic component A captured by the component imaging unit 10 (inserted into the recess 1a) are transmitted to the image recognition unit 21, and the image recognition unit 21 To calculate the amount of deviation with respect to each predetermined position. Based on the calculated deviation amount, the control unit 20 moves the movable stage 3 to align the concave portion 1a with the component insertion position P. Then, the electronic component A is inserted into the aligned recess 1a by the insertion means 4 in the same manner as described above.

  Moreover, the recessed part 1a judged that the accommodation state of the electronic component A is favorable is sent to a downstream sealing process. The cover tape 6 fed from the cover tape supply reel 7 is superposed on the upper surface of the carrier tape 1 and is heated and pasted by the sealing means 8. Thereby, the recessed part 1a is sealed so that the stored electronic component A may not fall off. Thereafter, the carrier tape 1 to which the cover tape 6 is attached is sent further downstream and taken up by a carrier tape take-up reel (not shown).

  According to the configuration of the present invention, the recess imaging means 9 can image the recess 1 a of the carrier tape 1 from directly above the component insertion position P. Thereby, the position of the recessed part 1a can be grasped | ascertained correctly and the position alignment of the subsequent recessed part 1a to the component insertion position P can be performed with high precision.

  Since the positioning of the concave portion 1a can be performed with high accuracy in this way, the concave portion 1a for storing the electronic component A with a narrow clearance (for example, the peripheral portion of the electronic component A in a plan view) The electronic component A can be accurately inserted even in the recess 1a) in which the clearance from the inner peripheral surface of the recess 1a is set to about 30 μm.

  Further, the present invention calculates the position shift of the electronic component A from the image information of the electronic component A imaged by the component imaging means 10, so that the electronic component A is aligned with the component insertion position P when the electronic component A is aligned. The positional deviation of the part A is corrected. Further, the rotation direction correcting unit 14 also corrects the direction of the electronic component A in the rotation direction. As described above, the electronic component A can be accurately inserted into the concave portion 1a by correcting the positional deviation of the electronic component A itself in the X-Y direction and the direction of the rotation direction.

  Further, the present invention can image the recess 1a with the recess imaging means 9 fixed. That is, since it is not necessary to retract the recess imaging means (camera) from directly above the component insertion position as in the prior art, it is possible to improve productivity.

  As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, Of course, a various change can be added in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention. For example, the supply unit 5 shown in FIG. 1 may supply the electronic component A to the insertion unit 4 by a method other than the rotary type using a rotary table. Further, the rotary transport mechanism (first rotary table 13) provided with the insertion means 4 may be arranged so as to rotate around the vertical axis. The configuration of the present invention can also be applied to a component supply apparatus that inserts a small component other than an electronic component into the recess of the carrier tape.
