Background technique

An electronic component mounting apparatus for mounting an electronic component on a substrate includes a mounting head having a suction nozzle, and the electronic component is held by the suction nozzle and mounted on the substrate. The electronic component mounting device moves the suction nozzle of the mounting head in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the substrate to absorb the components in the electronic component supply device, and then makes the mounting head face to face in a direction parallel to the surface of the substrate. After reaching the mounting position of the suctioned component, the suction nozzle of the mounting head moves in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the substrate to approach the substrate, thereby mounting the suctioned electronic component on the substrate.

Here, as electronic components mounted on a substrate, there are lead-type electronic components having a main body and leads connected to the main body, in addition to mount-type electronic components mounted on a substrate. In the present invention, a lead type electronic component is a component that is mounted by inserting a lead wire into a hole formed in a substrate. In addition, in the present invention, electronic components that are mounted on a substrate without being inserted into insertion holes (substrate holes), such as SOPs and QFPs, are referred to as mounted electronic components. As an electronic component mounting apparatus for mounting lead-type electronic components on a substrate, there are, for example, those described in Patent Documents 1 and 2. As shown in FIG. In Patent Document 1, an electronic component mounting machine is described, which has a component mounting machine for mounting the following two types of electronic components, that is, a mountable electronic component that is sucked by a suction mounting head, and a mountable electronic component that is sucked by a clip. A leaded electronic component that is clamped by a mounting head, inserted into a substrate, and then clinched. Patent Document 2 describes an electronic component mounting device integrally configured with a mounting head for mounting a mount-type electronic component and an insertion mounting head for mounting a lead-type electronic component.

In addition, the suction nozzle 32 shown in FIG. 11 is equipped with the suction nozzle which attracts and holds an electronic component.

The mounting head support body 31 is a support member connected to the X-axis drive unit 22 and supports the suction nozzle 32 and the suction nozzle drive unit 34 . In addition, the mounting head support body 31 also supports the laser recognition device 38 .

The suction nozzle 32 is a suction mechanism for suctioning and holding the electronic component 80 .

The feeder unit 114 has a support portion 142 , a drive portion 144 , a front end support portion 146 , and a holding tape feeding claw unit 148 . In addition, in the present embodiment, the front end support portion 146 and the holding tape feed claw unit 148 serve as a position adjustment mechanism for adjusting the relative position between the holding tape feed claw unit 148 and the housing 110 .

The supporting part 142 is a member fixed to the frame body 110 and supports the driving part 144 . The driving part 144 has a fixed part 144a and a movable part 144b. The driving unit 144 is an air cylinder that expands and contracts the portion of the movable unit 144b exposed from the fixed unit 144a by air pressure. The driving part 144 reciprocates the tip of the movable part 144 b within a predetermined distance range in the extending direction of the linear part of the guide groove 120 at least corresponding to the feeding pitch. That is, the drive part 144 reciprocates the front end of the movable part 144 b at least by a distance corresponding to the feeding pitch of the holding tape (the pitch P of the holes 78 ). The front end support portion 146 is fixed to the front end of the movable portion 144 b of the driving portion 144 . The front-end support part 146 reciprocates integrally with the reciprocating movement of the movable part 144b. In addition, as shown in FIG. 19 , the front end support portion 146 is an upper surface in the vertical direction, and has four screw holes 149 a , 149 b , 149 c , and 149 d at the portion connected to the holding belt feed claw unit 148 . . These four screw holes 149a, 149b, 149c, and 149d are formed at four locations where the positions in the feeding direction of the holding tape are different. Here, the distance between the screw hole 149 a and the screw hole 149 b of the front end support portion 146 is half the distance P of the above-mentioned pitch P of the holes 78 of the holding belt main body 72 . That is, the screw holes 149 a and the screw holes 149 b are formed at positions shifted by a half pitch of the arrangement interval of the holes 78 . In addition, in the front end support portion 146 , the distance between the screw hole 149 c and the screw hole 149 d is half the distance P of the above-mentioned pitch P of the holes 78 holding the belt main body 72 . That is, the screw holes 149c and the screw holes 149d are formed at positions shifted by a half pitch of the arrangement interval of the holes 78 .

The holding tape feed claw unit 148 is fixed on the front end support portion 146 . The holding tape feed claw unit 148 has a mount 150 , a feed claw 152 , a pin 154 , and a spring 156 . The mount 150 is a base that supports the feed claw 152 , the pin 154 , and the spring 156 . The mounting table 150 has a bent plate shape with an L-shaped cross section perpendicular to the feeding direction of the holding belt, and a part of the upper side in the vertical direction is exposed from the frame body 110 . A gripping portion 158 that can be gripped by an operator is provided in the exposed portion of the mounting table 150 . The operator can move the holding tape feeding claw unit 148 in the holding tape feeding direction by gripping and operating the gripping portion 158 as necessary. The mounting table 150 is a member connected to the front end support portion 146 and is fixed to the front end support portion 146 by two fixing screws 159 . Here, in the mounting table 150, the distance between the holes into which the two fixing screws 159 are inserted is the same as the distance between the screw hole 149a and the screw hole 149c and the distance between the screw hole 149b and the screw hole 149d. That is, the front end support portion 146 has a plurality of sets of screw holes at different positions in the holding tape feeding direction at the same arrangement pitch as the fixing screws (screws) 159 inserted into the mounting table 150 of the holding tape feeding claw unit 148. combination. Thus, by switching the screw holes for inserting the fixing screws 159 in the mounting table 150 , the relative position between the mounting table 150 and the front end support portion 146 can be shifted by half of the pitch.

The feed claw 152 is a member having a convex portion 152a protruding from one end portion of a rod-shaped member. The feed claw 152 is arranged at a position facing the hole of the holding tape main body 72 of the electronic component holding tape (hereinafter simply referred to as "holding tape") 70, and the shape of the protrusion 152a is such that it is in the feeding direction of the holding tape feeding direction. The surface 152b on the downstream side (the front side in the feeding direction) becomes a surface perpendicular to the feeding direction, and the surface 152c on the upstream side (the rear side in the feeding direction) in the holding tape feeding direction becomes a surface opposite to the feeding direction. The inclined surface perpendicular to the feeding direction narrows the width in the feeding direction as it approaches the holding belt 70 . When the feed claw 152 has the hole 78 at a position facing the convex portion 152a, the convex portion 152a is inserted into the hole 78 as shown in FIG. 20 . The pin 154 rotatably supports the end portion of the feed claw 152 on the side where the convex portion 152 a is not formed in a direction parallel to the paper surface. One end of the spring 156 is fixed to the protruding surface 150 a of the mount 150 , and the other end is fixed to the feed claw 152 . The spring 156 presses the feed claw 152 toward the side holding the tape when the convex portion 152 a of the feed claw 152 faces a portion other than the hole 78 .

Next, the holding tape feeding operation of the feeder unit 114 will be described using FIG. 21 . In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 21 (steps S1 to S4), the holes formed on the holding tape main body 72 are supplied to the frame body 110 with the holes located on the downstream side in the feeding direction of the holding tape, and are first fed from the frame body 110. The order of discharge of the body 110 is sequentially referred to as 78, 78a, 78b, and 78c. In step S1 , the convex portion 152 a of the feed claw 152 is inserted into the hole 78 a of the holding belt main body 72 . The feeder unit 114 drives the drive unit 144 in a state where the convex portion 152a is inserted into the hole 78a as shown in step S1, so that the holding tape feeding claw unit 148 moves along the holding tape feeding direction to 1 of the holding tape main body 72. The amount corresponding to the hole spacing.

If the feeder unit 114 is in the state of step S1, and the holding tape feeding claw unit 148 is conveyed along the holding tape feeding direction, the hole 78a is moved toward the holding tape by using the surface of the convex portion 152a perpendicular to the feeding direction. Pushing in this direction, as shown in step S2, both the holding tape feed claw unit 148 and the holding tape main body 72 move in the holding tape feeding direction. The feeder unit 114 moves the electronic components of the holding tape to the holding position by moving the holding tape main body 72 in the holding tape feeding direction.

When the movement of the holding tape feeding claw unit 148 in the holding tape feeding direction is completed (step S2 ), the feeder unit 114 waits for the electronic component at the tip held in the holding tape main body 72 to be held at the holding position. At this time, the electronic component located at the holding position (holding area) is sandwiched by the main body of the electronic component as will be described later, and the lead wires are cut by the cutter. Then, after predetermined processing is executed on the side of the electronic component mounting apparatus, a drive command is issued. For example, after the electronic component at the above-mentioned holding position held by the holding tape is sucked by the suction nozzle of the mounting head or grasped by the gripping nozzle, a clamp release command is sent to the electronic component supply device, so that the electronic component supply device releases the electronic component. Clamping of electronic components. Then, after the electronic component held on the suction nozzle is raised by raising the suction nozzle, a drive command is sent to the feeder unit 114 . After issuing the drive command, the feeder unit 114 drives the driving unit 144 to move the holding tape feeding claw unit 148 by an amount corresponding to one hole pitch of the holding tape main body 72 in a direction opposite to the holding tape feeding direction. If the feeder unit 114 is in the state of step S2, and the holding tape feeding claw unit 148 is conveyed to the side opposite to the holding tape feeding direction, the inclined surface of the convex portion 152a contacts the hole 78a, and the convex portion 152a moves along the hole 78a. The inclined surface moves in the direction of pulling out from the hole 78a. Thus, the feeder unit 114 disengages the convex portion 152a from the hole 78a as shown in step S3 (step S3), the holding tape does not move, and the holding tape feeding claw unit 148 moves to the side opposite to the holding tape feeding direction. move.

Then, after the feeder unit 114 moves the holding tape feed claw unit 148 by an amount corresponding to one hole pitch of the holding tape main body 72 in the direction opposite to the holding tape feeding direction from the state shown in step S2, As shown in step S4, the convex part 152a will be in the state inserted into the hole 78b located on the upstream side by 1 pitch rather than the hole 78a. At this time, since the feed claw 152 is pressed toward the hole 78b by the spring 156, the protrusion 152a is reliably inserted into the hole 78b. Immediately thereafter, the driving unit 144 is driven in the holding tape feeding direction to convey the next electronic component held in the holding tape main body 72 to the holding position.

As described above, the feeder unit 114 reciprocates the holding tape feeding claw unit 148 in the feeding direction by the driving unit 144 by an amount corresponding to the pitch of one hole of the holding tape main body 72, so that the holding tape can be moved along the feeding direction. Move the direction by 1 spacing amount in sequence.

Next, the cutting unit will be described using FIGS. 22 to 24 on the basis of FIGS. 14 to 16 . 22 is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic configuration of a cutting unit of the electronic component supply device. 23 is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic configuration of a cutting unit of the electronic component supply device. FIG. 24 is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic configuration of a cutting unit of the electronic component supply apparatus. The cutting unit 116 cuts the leads of the electronic components held by the electronic component holding tape. In addition, the cutting unit 116 clamps, that is, holds, the electronic component whose lead wire has been cut until the electronic component is sucked (held) by the suction nozzle. The cutting unit 116 has a support portion 162 , a drive portion 164 , a transmission portion 166 , a cutting portion 168 , and a cover 169 .

The supporting part 162 is a component fixed on the frame body 110 and supports the driving part 164 and the transmission part 166 . In addition, the support part 162 supports the cutting part 168 via the transmission part 166 . The driving part 164 has a fixed part 164a and a movable part 164b. The driving unit 164 is an air cylinder that expands and contracts the portion of the movable unit 164b exposed from the fixed unit 164a by air pressure. The driving unit 164 reciprocates the front end of the movable unit 164 b within a predetermined distance in the direction in which the linear portion of the guide groove 120 extends. The transmission unit 166 is a transmission mechanism that transmits power generated by the reciprocating movement of the movable unit 164 b to the cutting unit 168 . The transmission part 166 converts the reciprocating movement of the movable part 164b in the feeding direction of the holding tape into a motion in a direction perpendicular to the feeding direction of the holding tape, and moves the cutting part 168 in a direction perpendicular to the feeding direction of the holding tape. . The transmission part 166 moves the front end part 166a and the front end part 166b disposed across the passing region of the holding belt in a direction to approach each other or a direction to move away from each other, that is, a direction indicated by an arrow 170 . The transmission part 166 of this embodiment moves the front-end|tip part 166a and the front-end|tip part 166b to approach each other when the movable part 164b of the drive part 164 moves in the extension direction. The transmission part 166 moves the front-end part 166a and the front-end part 166b in the direction which mutually separates, when the movable part 164b of the drive part 164 moves to the contraction direction.

The cutting part 168 is arranged on the holding area, holds the main body of the electronic component arranged on the holding area, then cuts the lead wire of the electronic component between the main body and the main body of the holding tape, and then maintains the held state of the electronic component . The cutting part 168 has the 1st blade part 168a and the 2nd blade part 168b. The cutting portion 168 is arranged at a position where the first blade portion 168a and the second blade portion 168b face each other. In addition, the holding tape is arranged between the first blade 168a and the second blade 168b, and the lead wires of the electronic components held on the holding tape pass through the positions sandwiched between the first blade 168a and the second blade 168b. As shown in FIG. 24, the first blade portion 168a is connected to the front end portion 166a of the transmission portion 166, and when the front end portion 166a moves toward the second blade portion 168b side, it moves toward the second blade portion 168b side together with the front end portion 166a. The second blade portion 168b is connected to the front end portion 166b of the transmission portion 166 as shown in FIG. Moreover, the 1st blade part 168a is connected with the front-end|tip part 166a via the spring, and is pressed toward the 2nd blade part 168b side from the front-end part 166a.

The cover 169 is a member fixed to the frame body 110 . The cover 169 is arranged around the first blade portion 168a, and the surface where the first blade portion 168a contacts the second blade portion 168b becomes an opening. Moreover, the cover 169 is connected to the front-end|tip part 166a via a spring, and presses the front-end|tip part 166a to the side apart from the 2nd blade part 168b. Thereby, when the front-end|tip part 166a is not pressed to the side of the 2nd blade part 168b, the force of the direction away from the 2nd blade part 168b can be applied to the 1st blade part 168a.

The cutting unit 116 has the above-mentioned structure, and the first blade portion 168a on the movable side of the cutting portion 168 and the second blade portion 168b on the fixed side are approached by the driving portion 164 to support the main body of the electronic component from the side, and further By bringing the movable-side first blade 168a of the cutting portion 168 into contact with the fixed-side second blade 168b, it is possible to arrange the movable-side first blade 168a and the fixed-side second blade. 168b between leads cut. In addition, the cutting unit 116 can support the main body of the electronic component cut from the holding tape main body from the side by maintaining the contact state between the first blade portion 168a and the second blade portion 168b after cutting the lead wire. That is, the lead wire can be cut and the electronic component separated from the holding tape main body can be sandwiched. In addition, the cutting unit 116 may have a mechanism for cutting the leads of the electronic component and a mechanism for clamping (supporting) the cut electronic component (main body of the electronic component) as separate mechanisms.

Here, the cutting position of the lead wire cut by the cutting unit 116 will be described. In a conventional mounting apparatus having a lead-type electronic component dedicated mounting head for inserting a substrate, cutting is performed at the leading end side of the lead close to the holding tape for fixing the lead, and a very long lead is inserted into the substrate. The reason for this is that the conventional mounting device has a lead wire cutting part and a lead wire gripping part on the side of the mounting head. The lead wire becomes longer. In addition, this is because the lead wire is inserted into the insertion hole in the conventional mounting device while being guided by the guide pin, so even if the lead wire is long, it does not interfere with insertion into the substrate. In addition, the reason for this is that in the conventional mounting apparatus, in order to perform post-processing using a lead bending device that cuts (actually cuts) the lead wires to a desired length on the backside of the board and bends them, the lead wires are cut from the above-mentioned component holding tape. When pre-cutting the lead wire, it is necessary to keep the lead wire longer.

On the other hand, the cutting unit 116 makes the cutting length of the lead wire of the radial lead type electronic component a predetermined length such that the length is equal to the thickness of the substrate or the lead wire protruding toward the back side of the substrate does not Poor soldering occurs, and the length corresponds to the thickness of the substrate. The predetermined length is, for example, approximately the same length as the insertion hole of the substrate. More specifically, it is a length greater than or equal to 0 mm and less than or equal to 3 mm with respect to the length of the insertion hole of the substrate. As described above, it is not necessary to pre-cut the component by the mounting head as in the prior art, but the component supply device is configured to cut the component shortly from the beginning to a predetermined length, so that the following effects can be obtained.

In the electronic component mounting apparatus 10, the lead wires are cut short by the cutting unit 116. When the main body of the electronic component located in the holding position of the component supply apparatus 100 is held by the suction nozzle, the stability of the lead wire interval can be improved, and the lead wire spacing can be increased. A component capable of inserting lead wires into an insertion hole, allowing for very efficient and high-precision mounting.

In addition, in the conventional mounting device, if a long lead is inserted into the solder pre-filled or applied in the insertion hole, almost all the solder may be extruded toward the leading end side of the lead, and may be melted during reflow soldering. The solder can't rise into the thin gap between the insertion hole and the lead, making the soldering poor. On the other hand, in the electronic component mounting apparatus 10, since the lead wire is cut short by the cutting unit 116, the melted solder rises into the above-mentioned gap, and optimum soldering can be performed without any gaps filled with the solder. And at this time, by also mounting the mount-type electronic component on the solder coated on the upper surface of the substrate, there is also an effect that the lead-type electronic component and the mount-type electronic component can be simultaneously processed through one reflow soldering process. carrying. In other words, if an excessively long lead is inserted with respect to the solder previously filled or applied in the insertion hole, almost all of the solder is squeezed out toward the leading end side of the lead, and sometimes the melted solder cannot rise to the substrate during reflow soldering, that is, The solder cannot reach the substrate, poor soldering. On the other hand, in the electronic component mounting device of the above-mentioned configuration, by cutting the lead wire short to the above-mentioned predetermined length, if a part of the solder extruded from the insertion hole is in a melted state due to the lead wire inserted into the insertion hole, Then it can rise to the back of the above-mentioned substrate and be welded with the electrodes on the back of the substrate. In addition, when electrodes exist in the insertion hole (substrate hole), solder can be raised into the gap between the lead wire and the electrode inside the substrate for soldering. In this way, welding can be performed both mechanically and electrically.

In addition, by setting the predetermined length to be equal to the thickness of the substrate, even when radial lead type electronic components are mounted on the substrate, protruding of the leads from the substrate (back surface of the substrate) can be suppressed. In addition, by setting the predetermined length so that the lead protruding toward the back side of the substrate has a length that does not cause soldering failure, even if the lead wire is cut short, the lead wire can be satisfactorily fixed to the insertion point of the substrate by reflow processing. in the hole.

The air pressure regulator 118 adjusts the air pressure of the air cylinder serving as the driving unit 144 of the feeder unit 114 and the air cylinder serving as the driving unit 164 of the cutting unit 116 to control the driving of each part. Specifically, the air pressure regulator 118 controls the expansion and contraction of the movable part 144b of the driving part 144 , that is, the position, and controls the position of the feed claw 152 . In addition, the air pressure regulator 118 controls the expansion and contraction, that is, the position, of the movable part 164b of the driving part 164 , and controls the positions of the first blade part 168a and the second blade part 168b of the cutting part 168 . In addition, the air pressure adjustment unit 118 controls the air pressure of each part based on the control of the component supply control unit 64 .

The component supply apparatus 100 has the above-mentioned structure. The component supply device 100 is configured so that a plurality of positions for mounting the mounting table 150 of the holding tape feeding claw unit 148 on the front end support portion 146 are provided along the holding tape feeding direction, so that the holding tape feeding claw unit 148 can be switched relative to the holding tape feeding claw unit 148. The front end support portion 146 is provided in such a position that it is possible to cope with various types of electronic component holding tapes having different relative positions between the holes of the holding tape main body and the electronic components without replacing parts. That is, the component supply apparatus 100 moves the mounting table 150 of the holding tape feed claw unit 148 onto the front end support portion 146 based on the relative position between the hole of the holding tape body of the loaded electronic component holding tape and the electronic component. By switching the mounting position, the electronic component can be moved to the holding position in any electronic component holding belt.

Specifically, the feeder unit 114 can be extended to the movable part 144b of the driving part 144 in the range of reciprocating movement by changing the position where the mounting table 150 holding the tape feed claw unit 148 is mounted on the front end support part 146. The position of the convex part 152a of the feed claw 152 is changed in the position of a long state. Thereby, when the feeder unit 114 is in the position (feed end position, holding position) where the movable part 144b of the driving part 144 is in the most extended state in the reciprocating range, the hole holding the tape main body can be made The located positions become various positions. As a result, even with respect to electronic component holding tapes having different arrangement positions of the electronic components with respect to the hole positions, the feeder unit 114 can arrange the electronic components in the most extended state in the reciprocating range of the movable part 144b. hold position.

In addition, in the component supply apparatus 100, it is preferable to set the reciprocating distance of the movable portion 144b of the feeder unit 114 to be longer than the pitch of the holes holding the tape bodies and shorter than twice the pitch. Thereby, the component supply apparatus 100 can reliably insert the convex part 152a of the feed claw 152 into the hole of the next pitch, and can feed the holding|maintenance tape by 1 pitch by one reciprocating movement of the feed claw 152. In addition, in the component supply device 100, when there are several kinds of pitches of the holes of the holding tape, which is the object of conveyance, it is preferable to set the reciprocating distance of the movable part 144b of the feeder unit 114 to be the longest from the pitch of the holes. The holes are relatively long and short compared to twice the spacing of the holding strips with the shortest hole spacing. Thus, the component supply device 100 can reliably insert the convex portion 152a of the feed claw 152 into the hole of the next pitch when the pitch of the holding tape is any type, and the feed claw can be moved to and fro once by one reciprocating movement of the feed claw. Keep the amount that the belt conveys for 1 pitch. That is, the components supply device 100 can feed the holding tapes of various pitches by one pitch without changing the reciprocating distance or replacing the components.

Here, in the feeder unit 114 of the above-mentioned embodiment, the position where the holding tape feed claw unit 148 is attached to the front end support portion 146 can be selected from two positions, but the number is not limited thereto. The feeder unit 114 can cope with more kinds of electronic component holding tapes by increasing the optional positions of the positions where the holding tape feed claw unit 148 is mounted with respect to the front end support portion 146 . In addition, the feeder unit 114 may be provided so that the position where the holding tape feed claw unit 148 is attached relative to the front end support portion 146 can be adjusted linearly. For example, it is also possible to set the front end support portion 146 and the front end support portion 146 and the front end support portion 146 and the front end support portion 146 by making the screw hole on any one of the holding tape feeding claw units 148 into a long hole shape extending along the holding tape feeding direction. The relative position in the holding tape feeding direction between the holding tape feeding claw units 148 is set to various positions. In this case, it is preferable that the relative position in the holding tape feeding direction between the front end support portion 146 and the holding tape feeding claw unit 148 can be adjusted within a range of one hole pitch of the holding tape. Accordingly, the feeder unit 114 can adjust the relative position arbitrarily, and can also perform fine adjustment of the relative position.

In addition, the feeder unit 114 of the above-mentioned embodiment is configured to use the front end support portion 146 and the holding tape feed claw unit 148 as a position adjustment mechanism, and by changing the relative position between the front end support portion 146 and the holding tape feed claw unit 148, , so as to change the state after the holding belt is conveyed, that is, the position of the convex portion 152a of the feed claw 152 when the movable part 144b is in the most extended state in the reciprocating movement range (the frame body 110 and the holding belt feeding claw can be adjusted The relative position between units 148), but not limited thereto. The feeder unit can use various mechanisms capable of adjusting the relative position between the housing and the holding tape feed claw unit as a position adjustment mechanism. For example, the component supply device may be configured such that the relative position between the housing and the feeder unit in the feeding direction of the holding tape can be adjusted so that the state after the holding tape feeding is completed can be changed, that is, the movable part 144b The position of the convex part 152a of the feed claw 152 in the most extended state in the reciprocating movement range. That is, the feeder unit may be provided with a position adjustment mechanism at the connecting portion between the feeder unit and the housing.

Next, various modified examples of the electronic component supply device as the radial feeder will be described. Fig. 25 is a perspective view showing a schematic configuration of another example of a cutting unit. Fig. 26 is a perspective view showing a schematic configuration of the cutting unit shown in Fig. 25 viewed from another direction. Fig. 27 is a perspective view showing the relationship between the cutting unit and the housing shown in Fig. 25 . Fig. 28 is a perspective view showing a schematic configuration of another example of a cutting unit. Fig. 29 is an explanatory view for explaining the operation of the cutting unit shown in Fig. 25 . Fig. 30 is an explanatory view for explaining the operation of the cutting unit shown in Fig. 25 . In addition, the basic structure of the cutting unit 116a shown in FIGS. 25 to 30 is the same as that of the cutting unit 116 . Next, the characteristic points of the cutting unit 116a will be described.

The cutting unit 116a cuts the leads of the electronic components held by the electronic component holding tape. In addition, the cutting unit 116 a clamps, that is, holds the electronic component after the lead wire is cut, until the electronic component is sucked or gripped (held) by the suction nozzle 32 (suction nozzle or gripping nozzle). The cutting unit 116a has the support part 162, the drive part 164, the transmission part 172, the cutting part 174, and a cover.

The transmission part 172 is a transmission mechanism that transmits power generated by the reciprocating movement of the movable part 164 b to the cutting part 174 . The transmission part 172 converts the reciprocating movement of the movable part 164b in the feeding direction of the holding tape into a motion in a direction perpendicular to the feeding direction of the holding tape, and moves the cutting part 174 in a direction perpendicular to the feeding direction of the holding tape. . The transmission unit 172 is composed of a stationary element 175 and a movable element 176 arranged to sandwich the passing region of the holding belt. The transmission unit 172 moves the first unit 174 a connected to the movable element 176 of the cutting unit 174 to approach or move away from the second unit 174 b connected to the fixing unit 175 of the cutting unit 174 . That is, as shown in FIG. 29 , the transmission unit 172 of the present embodiment moves the movable element 176 toward the fixed element 175 when the movable portion 164b of the drive portion 164 moves in the stretching direction. The transmission part 172 moves the movable element 176 in the direction away from the fixed element 175 when the movable part 164b of the drive part 164 moves in the contraction direction. As described above, the cutting unit 116a is configured to move only one of the two units of the cutting unit 174 .

The cutting portion 174 is arranged on the holding area, and cuts and holds the leads of the electronic components arranged on the holding area between the main body and the main body of the holding tape. The cutting part 174 holds both the main body and the lead wires of the electronic component 80 , then cuts the lead wires, and maintains the state of holding the main body and the lead wires after cutting the lead wires. The cutting unit 174 has a first unit 174a and a second unit 174b. The first unit 174a has a first blade 178a, a first body holding portion 179a, and a first lead wire holding portion 180a. The first blade 178a and the second blade 178b serve as the cutting mechanism 178, the first main body holding part 179a and the second main body holding part 179b serve as the main body holding means 179, and the first lead wire holding part 180a and the second lead wire holding part 180b serve as the lead wire holding means. 180. As shown in FIG. 30 , the cutting unit 174 has a main body holding mechanism 179 , a lead wire holding mechanism 180 , and a cutting mechanism 178 arranged in this order from the upper side in the vertical direction.

Each part of the first unit 174a and each part of the second unit 174b are arranged at positions facing each other. In addition, the holding belt is disposed between the first unit 174a and the second unit 174b, and the lead wires of the electronic components held by the holding belt are clamped by the cutting mechanism 178 and the lead wire holding mechanism 180, and the main body of the electronic component is clamped by the main body holding mechanism 179. Pass at the held position.

The first unit 174a of the cutting unit 174 is supported by the movable member 176, and moves in the direction of approaching and separating from the second unit 174b (direction of the arrow in FIG. 30 ) together with the movable member 176 . When the first unit 174a of the cutting unit 174 moves toward the second unit 174b, the main body of the electronic component 80 is held by the main body holding mechanism 179, and the leads of the electronic component 80 are held by the lead wire holding mechanism 180. Then, in the cutting section 174, when the first unit 174a further moves toward the second unit 174b, the first blade 178a and the second blade 178b of the cutting mechanism 178 intersect to cut the lead. In addition, in Fig. 30, it seems that the first blade 178a and the second blade 178b are overlapped, but because the position of the first blade 178a and the second blade 178b in the left and right direction of the paper in the front and rear direction of the paper is different (relative to the conveying direction tilt), so there is virtually no contact.

The cutting unit 116 a uses one driving unit 164 as a driving source, and operates the clamping mechanism (main body holding mechanism 179 , lead wire holding mechanism 180 ) for holding the electronic component 80 and the cutting mechanism 178 for cutting the lead wire 84 through the transmission unit 172 in conjunction with each other. Thus, the cutting unit 116a can hold the electronic component 80 and cut the leads with a simple structure. In this point, the cutting unit 116 is also the same.

In addition, the cutting unit 116a can properly hold the electronic component 80 after cutting the lead wire 84 by holding the main body 82 of the electronic component 80 by the main body holding mechanism 179 . Thereby, the electronic component 80 after cutting the lead wire 84 can be held appropriately, and the electronic component 80 can be easily held by the suction nozzle 32 . In this point, the cutting unit 116 is also the same.

In addition, the cutting unit 116a can hold the electronic component 80 by the clamping mechanism before cutting the lead wire 84, especially, the main body 82 of the electronic component 80, so that the electronic component 80 can be held in a stable position. In the state, the lead wire 84 is cut off. Thereby, the lead wire 84 can be cut|disconnected appropriately. In addition, the electronic component 80 is held by the clamping mechanism before the lead wire 84 is cut by the cutting unit 116a, so that the electronic component after cutting the lead wire 84 can be prevented from falling off or falling from the holding position.

The cutting unit 116 a holds the lead wire 84 in addition to holding the main body 82 , so that the position of the lead wire 84 can be restricted during cutting, and the lead wire 84 can be cut more appropriately. In addition, by holding the lead wire 84 on the main body side by the lead wire holding mechanism 180 , deformation of the lead wire 84 on the main body side during cutting can be reduced.

The cutting unit 116a can simplify the mechanism of the device by using one side of the transmission part 172 as the fixing member 175 . In addition, the holding position of the electronic component held by the cutting unit 116 a can be stabilized, and the handling of the mounting head 15 can be simplified. It is preferable that the cutting unit 116a has both the main body holding mechanism 179 and the lead wire holding mechanism 180, but may have only any one of them.

Here, as shown in FIG. 27, the cutting unit 116a is fixed by inserting bolts 182, 185 into long holes 181, 184 formed in the frame body 110a whose longitudinal direction is the vertical direction. Thus, the cutting unit 116a can adjust the position in the vertical direction. Thereby, the position in the vertical direction relative to the electronic component held by the holding tape moved by the feeder unit can be adjusted. Therefore, the cutting unit 116a can adjust the position in the vertical direction of the cut lead wire with respect to the position of the holding tape, that is, the cut position corresponding to the radial lead type electronic component. Thus, the cutting unit 116a can adjust the length of the lead wire after cutting. In addition, in this embodiment, the mechanism for adjusting the cutting position corresponding to the radial lead type electronic component adopts a combination of an elongated hole whose adjustment direction is in the longitudinal direction and a bolt for fixing the position relative to the elongated hole. The position adjustment mechanism is not limited to this. In the electronic component supply apparatus, any mechanism that can adjust the position of the cutting unit 116a in the Z-axis direction, more specifically, a mechanism that can adjust the position of the cutting mechanism in the Z-axis direction of the electronic component holding tape with respect to the holding area That's it.

In addition, the cutting unit 116a has a rod 188 exposed to the outside of the housing 110a. The rod 188 is connected to the linear motion part of the transmission part 172 . Thereby, the cutting unit 116a can perform the cutting operation of the electronic component by the cutting part 174 by moving the rod 188 in the direction of the arrow. That is, by moving the rod 188 in the direction of the arrow, the same operation as that of moving the transmission part 172 in the linear motion direction by the drive part 164 can be performed. Thus, for example, when the position adjustment of the cutting unit 116 a is performed, the lead wires of the electronic components can be cut without driving the drive unit 164 by the control device 20 of the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 . In addition, even in a state where air pressure or electric power is not supplied to the driving unit 164, the lead wires of the electronic components can be cut.

Moreover, the electronic component supply apparatus 100 may provide the operation part for driving the drive part 164 to the housing|casing 110a. Thereby, in the electronic component supply apparatus 100, the cutting operation|movement of the lead wire of an electronic component by the cutting means 116a can be performed without operating by the control apparatus 20. FIG. In addition, in this case, it is necessary to supply driving force (air pressure or electric power) to the driving unit 164 .

Fig. 31A is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic configuration of a holding mechanism of a cutting unit. Fig. 31B is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic configuration of another example of the holding mechanism of the cutting unit. The second body holding portion 179b of the cutting unit 116a is a stopper having two holes 190 for inserting bolts fixed to the fixing member 175 of the transmission portion 172, as shown in FIG. 31A. In the second main body holding portion 179b, the surface parallel to the line connecting the two holes 190 is composed of four surfaces with different distances from the holes 190 . The distance between the first surface 191a and the hole 190 is indicated by the arrow 192a. The distance between the second surface 191b and the hole 190 is indicated by the arrow 192b. The distance between the third surface 191c and the hole 190 is indicated by the arrow 192c. The distance between the fourth surface 191d and the hole 190 is indicated by the arrow 192d. Arrow 192a, arrow 192b, arrow 192c and arrow 192d are all different in length. For the cutting unit 116a, when the second main body holding part 179b is fixed on the fixing member 175, by changing the orientation of the second main body holding part 179b (reversing up and down, turning left and right), it can be connected with the first main body holding part. The surface facing 179a is switched to the first surface 191a, the second surface 191b, the third surface 191c, or the fourth surface 191d. Here, since the position of the bolt in the fixing hole 190 is fixed, by switching the surface facing the first body holding portion 179a, the surface of the second body holding portion 179b facing the first body holding portion 179a and the surface facing the first body holding portion 179a can be changed. The distance between the first main body holding parts 179a.

Thus, the cutting unit 116a can change the distance between the second main body holding part 179b and the first main body holding part 179a to four kinds during the cutting operation of the lead wires, and the distance between the second main body holding part 179b and the first main body holding part 179a can be changed according to the type of electronic components supplied by the electronic component supply apparatus 100. , properly adjust the distance between the second main body holding portion 179b and the first main body holding portion 179a.

The second main body holding portion 195 shown in FIG. 31B has an octagonal prism shape, and the first main body holding portion 179a has one flat surface. The second body holding portion 195 forms holes 196 for inserting bolts. The hole 196 is a long hole whose longitudinal direction is the direction perpendicular to the feeding direction of the holding tape, that is, the direction in which the cutting unit moves. The second main body holding part 195 can adjust the position of the second main body holding part 195 relative to the bolt in the operating direction of the cutting part by adjusting the relative position between the hole 196 and the bolt. As described above, by using the second main body holding part 195, the cutting means can be used for the surface of the second main body holding part 195 opposing the first main body holding part 179a and the second main body holding part 195 between the distances in the longitudinal direction of the hole 196. 1 The distance between the main body holding parts 179a is adjusted. Thereby, the cutting unit can cope with more widths of the electronic component main body. For example, the cutting unit can cut the lead wires while grasping 20 types of lead-type electronic components, so that 20 types of lead-type electronic components can be supplied to the holding position in the state where the lead wires are cut.

32 is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic configuration of another example of the feeder unit of the electronic component supply apparatus. Fig. 33 is a perspective view showing a schematic configuration of the feeder unit shown in Fig. 32 viewed from another direction. Fig. 34 is a front view showing a schematic configuration of the feeder unit shown in Fig. 32 . Fig. 35 is a plan view showing a schematic configuration of the feeder unit shown in Fig. 32 . Fig. 36 is a front view showing a schematic configuration of another state of the feeder unit shown in Fig. 32 . Fig. 37 is a plan view showing a schematic configuration of another state of the feeder unit shown in Fig. 32 . In addition, in the feeder unit 200 shown in FIGS. 32 to 37 , the position of the convex portion 152a of the feed claw 152 can be changed except that the state after the belt feeding is completed, that is, the most extended state in the reciprocating movement range of the movable portion 144b, can be changed. It basically has the same structure as the feeder unit 114 except for the structure of the position.

The feeder unit 200 has a support unit 202 , a driving unit 204 , a first front end support unit 206 , a holding tape feed claw unit 208 , a second front end support portion 209 , a return direction holding tape feed claw unit 210 , and an interlocking mechanism 211 . The drive unit 204 has the same structure as the drive unit 144 . In addition, the first front end support portion 206 and the holding tape feeding claw unit 208 of the present embodiment do not have the function of holding the position adjustment of the tape feeding direction. In addition, the holding tape feeding claw unit 208 has no gripping portion. Other configurations of the first front end support portion 206 and the holding tape feed claw unit 208 are the same as those of the front end support portion 146 and the holding tape feed claw unit 148 .

The support part 202 is a mechanism for directly or indirectly supporting the driving part 204, the first front end support part 206, the holding belt feed claw unit 208, the return direction holding belt feed claw unit 210, and the linkage mechanism 211, and is fixed to the frame. 110 on. The support part 202 has a support member 222 , two bosses 230 , two screws 232 and two screws 236 .

The support member 222 is a plate member facing the widest surface of the elongated box shape of the housing 110 , and faces one surface of the driving unit 204 , the first front end support unit 206 , and the holding belt feed claw unit 208 . The supporting member 222 is connected to the fixed part of the drive part 204, and supports the fixed part. In addition, the support member 222 is fixed on the frame body 110 via the protrusion 230 .

The protrusion 230 is arranged on the surface of the supporting member 222 opposite to the surface facing the holding tape feed claw unit 208 and the like. The protrusion 230 protrudes in a direction away from the holding tape feeding claw unit 208 and the like. Two protrusions 230 are arranged at positions separated by a predetermined distance in the holding tape feeding direction of the supporting member 222 .

The two screws 232 are screwed to one end of the boss 230 (the end on the side in contact with the supporting member 222 ). In addition, the screws 232 are respectively inserted into the elongated holes 222 a formed in the supporting member 222 . The elongated hole 222a formed in the supporting member 222 is a hole extending in the feeding direction of the holding tape. Further, the elongated hole 222a has a shape such that the screw 232 can move within the range of one hole pitch of the holding tape in the holding tape feeding direction.

The two screws 236 are screwed to the other end of the boss 230 . In addition, the screws 236 are respectively inserted into the elongated holes 212 formed in the housing 110 . The elongated hole 212 formed in the frame body 110 is a hole extending in the feeding direction of the holding tape. In addition, the elongated hole 212 has a shape that allows the screw 236 to move within a range corresponding to one hole pitch of the holding tape in the holding tape feeding direction.

In addition, in the feeder unit 200 , a screw 232 screwed with the boss 230 is inserted into the elongated hole 222 a of the supporting member 222 . The combination of the boss 230 of the feeder unit 200, the screw 232, and the elongated hole 222a formed in the support member 222 serves as a position adjustment mechanism. The relative position of the feeder unit 200 and the housing 110 in the feeding direction of the holding tape can be fixed by tightening the screw 232 to fasten the protrusion 230 and the support member 222 with respect to the feeder unit 200 . Moreover, with respect to the feeder unit 200, the long hole 222a and the screw 232 can be moved relatively by setting it as the state which loosened the screw 232. FIG. Thereby, the supporting member 222 formed with the elongated hole 222 a can be relatively moved in the holding tape feeding direction with respect to the boss 230 into which the screw 232 is inserted. With respect to the feeder unit 200 , the supporting member 222 and the protrusion 230 can be relatively moved, so that the feeder unit 200 can be moved relative to the housing 110 in the holding tape feeding direction. Thus, for the feeder unit 200, by loosening the screw 232, the relative position of the feeder unit 200 and the frame body 110 in the feeding direction of the holding tape can be adjusted, and by tightening the screw 232, the feeder unit 200 and the frame body 110 can be adjusted. 110 is fixed in the relative position on the holding belt feeding direction.

In addition, in the feeder unit 200 , a screw 236 screwed with the boss 230 is inserted into the elongated hole 212 of the housing 110 . The combination of the boss 230 of the feeder unit 200, the screw 236, and the elongated hole 212 formed in the frame 110 serves as a position adjustment mechanism. With regard to the feeder unit 200 , by tightening the screws 236 to fasten the protrusion 230 and the frame body 110 , the relative positions of the feeder unit 200 and the frame body 110 in the feeding direction of the holding tape can be fixed. In addition, in the feeder unit 200 , the elongated hole 212 and the screw 236 can be relatively moved by setting the screw 236 in a loosened state. Thereby, the frame body 110 formed with the elongated hole 212 can be relatively moved in the holding tape feeding direction with respect to the boss 230 into which the screw 236 is inserted. With respect to the feeder unit 200 , since the frame body 110 and the boss 230 can be relatively moved, the feeder unit 200 can be moved relative to the frame body 110 in the feeding direction of the holding tape. Thus, for the feeder unit 200, by loosening the screw 236, the relative position of the feeder unit 200 and the frame body 110 in the feeding direction of the holding tape can be adjusted, and by tightening the screw 236, the feeder unit 200 and the frame body 110 can be adjusted. The frame body 110 is fixed while maintaining the relative position in the tape feeding direction.

Since the feeder unit 200 has a structure in which the entire feeder unit 200 and the frame body 110 can move relative to each other in the feeding direction of the holding tape, it is possible to easily adjust the direction of the holding tape feeding direction of the feed claw without replacing parts or the like. The position is adjusted. In addition, regarding the feeder unit 200 , the feeder unit 200 can be moved relative to the housing 110 only by loosening the screw 232 from the outside of the housing 110 . This makes it possible to more easily adjust the position of the feed claw in the holding tape feed direction. Here, when the feeder unit 200 and the frame body 110 are relatively moved in the holding tape feeding direction, the operator grasps the supporting member 222 to move the supporting member 222 relative to the frame body 110 in the holding tape feeding direction, thereby Relative movement is possible. In addition, the operator may grasp the protrusion 230 and move it relatively. In addition, when the operator loosens the screw 236 to relatively move the feeder unit 200 and the frame body 110 along the feeding direction of the holding tape, the operator grasps the loosened screw 236 to move the screw 236 relative to the long hole 212, thereby Alternatively, the feeder unit 200 and the housing 110 may be relatively moved in the holding tape feeding direction. In this case, it is preferable to form the screw 236 into an easy-to-grip shape.

In addition, when feeder unit 200 performs relative positional movement by a mechanism formed by combining screws 232 and elongated holes 222a, it is preferable to be in a state where frame body 110 and boss 230 are fixed by screws 236 . In addition, in the feeder unit 200 , when the relative position is moved by a mechanism combining the screw 236 and the elongated hole 212 , it is preferable to be in a state where the support member 222 and the boss 230 are fixed by the screw 232 .

In addition, in the feeder unit 200, two mechanisms, the mechanism combining the screw 232 and the elongated hole 222a and the mechanism combining the screw 236 and the elongated hole 212, are provided as the position adjustment mechanism, and these two mechanisms can be used to adjust the position. The relative position between the feeder unit 200 and the housing 110 in the feeding direction of the holding tape is adjusted, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In the feeder unit 200 , as the position adjustment mechanism, only a combination of the screw 232 and the elongated hole 222 a provided at the portion where the boss 230 and the support member 222 are fixed may be provided. In addition, in the feeder unit 200 , as the position adjustment mechanism, only a combination of the screw 236 and the elongated hole 212 may be provided, which fixes the boss 230 and the frame body 110 .

The vicinity of one end of the linear guide 433 is rotatably supported by the outer end of the linear guide 556 , and the vicinity of the other end is fixed to the mounting stopper 434 . In addition, the linear guide 433 is supported in a rotatable state around the shaft 432 . Here, among the linear guide 433 and the linear guide 556, the linear guide 433 serves as a rail unit, and the linear guide 556 serves as a slide unit. Thus, the linear guide 433 is connected to the linear guide 556 in a state where the connection position can move. That is, the position at which the linear guide 433 is connected to the linear guide 556 changes. With such a configuration, by rotating the linear guide 556 , the linear guide 433 turns around the shaft 432 .

The attachment stopper portion 434 is supported in a state to be rotatable about the shaft 432 , and is connected to the linear guide 433 . The attachment stopper portion 434 and the linear guide rail 433 are connected by a connection member 570 .

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 52 to 53 , the attachment stopper portion 434 is provided with a rod portion extending in the vertical direction, and the rod portion is connected to an end portion of an elongated plate-shaped member. As a result, the attachment stopper portion 434 and the elongated plate-like member connected to the connection portion 436 integrally rotate around the shaft 432 as a rotation axis.

The rail support portion 502 is connected to an end portion of the mounting stopper portion 434 . One end of the proximal rail (arm portion) 504 is connected to the rail support portion 502 , and the other end is connected to the rail 422 . The proximal end rail 504 converts the rotational motion of the mounting stopper portion 434 into a linear motion by using the rail support portion 502 and transmits it. In addition, the base end guide rail 504 is connected to the electronic component supply part of the storage bowl 420 , and guides the electronic component supplied from the storage bowl 420 to the guide rail 422 . The fixed part 506 is fixed to a base or the like which is a non-moving part of the drive device 408 . The rotating part 508 is supported on the fixed part 506 in a rotatable state. The rotating part 508 has a fixed end 520 rotatably supported by the fixed part 506 , and a movable end 522 serving as a connecting part between the base end rail 504 and the guide rail 422 . In the rotating portion 508 , the movable end 522 is connected to the connection portion between the proximal rail 504 and the rail 422 , and the movement range of the connection portion between the proximal rail 504 and the rail 422 is restricted.

In addition, the attachment stopper part 434 is fixed in a rotatable state around the shaft 432 , and rotates around the rotation axis of the shaft 432 by rotating the linear guide 433 . The rotation of the mounting stopper portion 434 is transmitted to the rail support portion 502 . The rail support portion 502 converts the rotational driving force of the mounting stopper portion 434 into a linear driving force to reciprocate the base end rail (arm portion) 504 in a direction parallel to the extending direction of the rail. At this time, the rotating part 508 provided on the connection part between the base end guide rail 504 and the guide rail 422 rotates the connection part between the base end guide rail 504 and the guide rail 422 , that is, the movable end 522 around the fixed end 520 . The driving device 408 is formed as described above, and vibrates the installation stopper part 434 and the base end guide rail 504 so that the storage bowl 420 mounted on the installation stopper part 434 and the guide rail connected to the base end guide rail 504 via the connection part 436 are vibrated. 422 vibrations. The bowl feeder unit 400 vibrates the storage bowl 420 by the driving device 408 to move the electronic components put in the storage bowl 420 in the storage bowl 420 and supply them to the guide rail 422 . In addition, the bowl feeder unit 400 supplies the electronic components guided in the guide rail 422 to the support mechanism 424 by vibrating the guide rail 422 by the driving device 408 .

Thus, the bowl feeder unit 400 can supply a plurality of electronic components to the suction position. In addition, in the bowl feeder unit 400 , by stacking the storage bowls of the component supply devices 402 , 404 , and 406 in the vertical direction as described above, the support mechanism 424 can be arranged close to the horizontal direction. Thereby, the suction position of the electronic component can be approached, and the moving distance of the mounting head at the time of component suction can be reduced. In addition, the bowl feeder unit 400 can reduce the number of drive sources by using one drive device 408 as a drive unit for the three component supply devices 402, 404, and 406, and can simplify the device structure. In addition, by supporting the rotation shafts of the component supply devices 402 , 404 , and 406 by the fixing unit 410 , each part can be stably vibrated. In addition, in the bowl feeder unit 400 of the above-mentioned embodiment, three component supply devices are provided, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the number of component supply devices is not limited.

In addition, in this embodiment, although the drive mechanism which vibrates the storage bowl 420 is used as the drive part of the bowl feeder unit 400, it is not limited to this. The electronic component supply device (bowl feeder) constituting the bowl feeder unit 400 may supply the electronic component 80 to the rail 422 by vibrating the storage bowl 420 . For example, a drive unit that swings the storage bowl 420 may be used as the drive unit.

Fig. 65 is an enlarged perspective view showing a part of the electronic component supply device. The component supply devices 402, 404, and 406 of the bowl feeder unit 400, as shown in FIG. , 580b, 580c. The starting end side component detection sensors 580 a , 580 b , 580 c detect the presence or absence of electronic components at the ends of the guide rail 422 on the housing bowl 420 side. Laser sensors can be used as the starting end side component detection sensors 580a, 580b, and 580c. The bowl feeder unit 400 can detect whether or not the electronic components are staying on the guide rail 422 by detecting whether or not the electronic components are present at the end of the guide rail 422 on the storage bowl 420 side by using the starting end side component detection sensors 580a, 580b, 580c. And in full state to detect. For example, when the state of the electronic component detection sensor 580a, 580b, 580c on the head end side detects the state of the electronic component continuously for a certain period of time, the bowl feeder unit 400 becomes unable to guide the rail due to the electronic component staying at a predetermined position. 422 ahead of the state, so it can be judged as a full state.

Fig. 66 is an enlarged perspective view showing a part of the electronic component supply device. As shown in FIG. 66, the component supply devices 402, 404, and 406 of the bowl feeder unit 400 include a holding position side component detection sensor 582a for detecting the presence or absence of electronic components at the front end (attraction position, holding position) of the guide rail 422, 582b, 582c. The holding position side component detection sensors 582 a , 582 b , and 582 c detect whether or not an electronic component is present at the holding position, which is the front end side of the corresponding guide rail 422 . The holding position side member detection sensor 582a is an optical sensor having a light emitting unit 584a and a light receiving unit 586a. Both the light emitting unit 584a and the light receiving unit 586a are arranged at positions interposing the holding position. The holding position side component detection sensor 582a detects that there is no electronic component in the measurement area (holding position in this embodiment) when the measurement light output from the light emitting unit 584a is received by the light receiving unit 586a. The holding position side component detection sensor 582a detects the presence of an electronic component in the measurement area (holding position in this embodiment) when the measurement light output from the light emitting unit 584a is not received by the light receiving unit 586a. Similarly, the holding position side component detection sensor 582b is also an optical sensor having a light emitting unit 584b and a light receiving unit 586b, and the holding position side component detection sensor 582c is also an optical sensor having a light emitting unit 584c and a light receiving unit 586c. Holding position side component detection sensors 582a, 582b, and 582c detect the presence or absence of electronic components with the same configuration. The bowl feeder unit 400 detects the presence or absence of electronic components at the holding positions by the holding position side component detection sensors 582a, 582b, and 582c, and drives the bowl feeder unit 400 based on the detection results. The bowl feeder unit 400 drives the drive device 408 and conveys the electronic component, for example, when it is determined by the component detection sensors 582a, 582b, and 582c on the holding position side that there is no electronic component at the holding position.

In addition, when the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 uses the suction nozzle 32 of the mounting head 15 to perform the operation of holding the electronic component at the holding position of the bowl feeder unit 400, it may use the holding position side component detection sensor 582a , 582b, 582c detect that there is an electronic component at the holding position, perform a holding operation for holding the electronic component at the holding position, and use the holding position side component detection sensors 582a, 582b, 582c to detect that the electronic component is at the holding position Standby in the absence of electronic components. Thereby, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 can more reliably hold the electronic component, and can suppress the situation where the holding operation is performed without the electronic component at the holding position. Accordingly, the electronic component mounting apparatus can more efficiently perform the holding operation of the electronic component.

Fig. 67A is an enlarged perspective view showing a part of the electronic component supply device. Fig. 67B is a perspective view showing a part of the electronic component supply device shown in Fig. 67A from another direction. In addition, in FIG. 67A, FIG. 67B, although the component supply apparatus 402 of the bowl type feeder unit 400 is shown, the component supply apparatus 404,406 also has the same structure. The component supply device 402 has an air blower 590 that blows upward in the vertical direction (arrow 591 ) when the electronic component of the storage bowl 420 is located at the end of the proximal guide rail 504 that connects the storage bowl 420 and the guide rail 422 on the side of the guide rail 422 . direction) to inject air. The air blower 590 blows air in the direction of the arrow 591 toward the end of the base end rail 504 on the side of the guide rail 422 to return the electronic component located at that position to the housing bowl 420 .

The base end rail 504 is provided with a guide portion 592 at a connection portion with the storage bowl 420 . The guide part 592 guides the electronic components that are not properly oriented among the electronic components conveyed from the storage bowl 420 to the base end rail 504 toward the storage bowl 420 . That is, the guide portion 592 prevents electronic components conveyed in an inappropriate orientation among the electronic components conveyed to the proximal rail 504 from entering the proximal rail 504 . Specifically, the guide portion 592 arranges a plate-shaped member at a position where a lead wire of an electronic component in an inappropriate direction contacts, and guides the electronic component with the lead wire contacted to the storage bowl 420 .

In addition, the proximal end rail 504 is provided with a drop portion 594 on the upper side in the vertical direction of the region where the air blower 590 blows air. The drop portion 594 is disposed outside the proximal end rail 504 (on the side away from the storage bowl 420 ), and has an inclined portion that gradually approaches the storage bowl 420 as it goes upward in the vertical direction. The drop portion 594 guides the electronic component lifted vertically upward by the air blown from the blower portion 590 to the storage bowl 420 side by using the inclined portion. Thereby, it is possible to suppress electronic components from flying out of the housing bowl 420 .

As shown in FIGS. 67A and 67B , the component supply device 402 can properly guide the electronic components to the guide rail 422 by providing the air blower 590 to return the electronic components moving toward the guide rail 422 to the storage bowl 420 . For example, the component supply device 402 can periodically return the electronic component located at the target position to the storage bowl 420 by regularly blowing air from the air blower 590 . Thereby, it is possible to exclude electronic components that are conveyed obliquely with respect to the guide rail 422 and are not carried into the guide rail 422 in the target area. In addition, the component supply device 402 may use the blower unit 590 to remove electronic components in an inappropriate orientation that cannot be removed by the guide unit 592 . In addition, in this embodiment, an air blower 590 is provided as a mechanism for returning the electronic components on the proximal guide rail 504 at the leading end of the guide rail 422 to the housing bowl 420 , but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, a mechanical mechanism may be used instead of the air blower 590 .

As shown in FIG. 68, the laser recognition device 38 outputs laser light from the light source 38a in the state where the electronic component 80 is disposed between the light source 38a and the light receiving element 38b, and detects the arriving laser light by the light receiving element 38b, thereby detecting the incoming laser light arranged between the light source 38a and the light receiving element 38b. The shape of the member between the light receiving elements 38b is detected. In addition, after the laser recognition device 38 detects the shape in one direction of the electronic component 80 sucked by the suction nozzle 32, the suction nozzle 32 is moved or rotated by the suction nozzle drive unit 34, and the electronic component 80 is moved or rotated, and the process is performed again. shape detection. As described above, by rotating the electronic component 80 , the laser recognition device 38 changes the direction of irradiating laser light on the electronic component 80 and the angle of the light receiving element 38 b relative to the electronic component 80 as shown in FIG. 69 .

As shown in FIG. 70, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10, as step S11, corresponds to the height of the electronic component 80 in the Z-axis direction, and in the state where the electronic component 80 is arranged between the light source 38a and the light receiving element 38b, the laser recognition device 38 irradiates a certain area with laser light from a light source 38a. Then, in the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 , as step S12 , the rotation of the electronic component 80 (rotation in the θ direction) is started.

Then, when the rotation speed of the electronic component 80 reaches a constant speed, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 starts measuring the shape of the electronic component 80 in a predetermined orientation by the laser recognition device 38 as step S13 . At this time, the laser recognition device 38 irradiates laser light to a certain area from the light source 38a with the electronic component 80 disposed between the light source 38a and the light receiving element 38b, and receives the laser light by the light receiving element 38b. Here, the laser light intercepted by the electronic component 80 does not reach the light-receiving element 38 b or its intensity decreases. Thereby, the laser recognition device 38 can detect the shape of the electronic component 80 in the cross section of the measured angle based on the distribution of the laser light received by the light receiving element 38b. In this embodiment, the laser recognition device 38 detects the edge part of the laser light received by the light receiving element 38b, and detects the outermost shape of the electronic component 80 in this direction. In the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 , as step S14 , while rotating the electronic component 80 , the shape detection of the electronic component 80 is repeated by the method of step S13 , thereby detecting the shape of the electronic component 80 in one rotation. Thereby, the shape of the electronic component 80 can be detected in all directions. As mentioned above, the laser recognition device 38 detects the shape in the direction of one rotation, and as shown in FIG. shape).

Here, as described above, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 of the present embodiment mounts the electronic component 80 which is a radial lead type electronic component on the substrate 8 . When the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 detects the shape of the electronic component 80 shown in FIG. 72, the detected shape differs depending on the height in the Z-axis direction for measurement. That is, the laser recognition device 38 of the electronic component mounting apparatus 10, as shown in FIG. The detected shape in the case is a different shape.

For example, if the laser recognition device 38 performs shape measurement on the line A shown in FIG. 72 , the shape of the main body 82 of the electronic component 80 can be detected as shown in FIG. 73 . In addition, if the laser recognition device 38 performs shape measurement on the line B shown in FIG. 72 , the shape of the lead wire 84 of the electronic component 80 can be detected as shown in FIG. 74 . In addition, since the laser recognition device 38 detects the shape of the outermost portion of the electronic component at the measured height, a shape related to the outermost portion (the outermost lead 84 ) of the electronic component is detected as the shape of the electronic component. In addition, if the laser recognition device 38 performs shape measurement at the line C shown in FIG. The shape of the lower surface position of the lead wire 84. The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 can adjust the height of the suction nozzle 32 holding the electronic component 80 in the Z-axis direction so that the position where the laser recognition device 38 measures the shape of the electronic component 80 can be various positions.

75 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the recognition operation of the shape of the electronic component by the electronic component mounting device. In addition, in the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 , an electronic component 80 a shown in FIG. 75 may be used as an electronic component of the radial lead type electronic component. The electronic component 80a forms a cutout 89 in a part of the main body 82a. The portion of the electronic component 80a in which the notch 89 is formed has a shape different from that of other electronic components. In addition, the electronic component 80a can determine the orientation from the position where the notch 89 is formed.

Here, the control unit 60 of the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment sets in advance the position of the electronic component to be mounted, that is, the electronic component to be picked up by the suction nozzle (the position of the electronic component in the Z-axis direction of the electronic component) by the operator. position), the shape of the electronic component at the position set by the operator is detected by the laser recognition device 38 . As described above, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 measures the shape of the electronic component based on the position set by the operator, so that the characteristic shape part of the electronic component can be used as the measurement position, and the electronic component can be mounted more accurately. Type identification and detection of the orientation of electronic components.

In addition, although the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 demonstrated the case where the shape recognition of an electronic component was performed using the laser recognition device 38, it is not limited to this. In the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 , a camera (the VCS unit 17 of the present embodiment) that three-dimensionally measures the shape of the electronic component supported on the housing 11 may be used as the state detection unit. In addition, a known camera for three-dimensionally measuring the shape of an electronic component other than the VCS may be used. The same process can be performed by measuring the distance between the lead ends of the electronic component to be measured, the bent shape of the lead, the shape of the component body, etc., using a camera that three-dimensionally measures the shape of the electronic component.

FIG. 76 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the electronic component mounting device. The outline of the overall processing operation of the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 will be described using FIG. 76 . In addition, the processing shown in FIG. 76 is executed by controlling the operation of each part by the control device 20 . In the electronic component mounting apparatus 10, a production program is read as step S52. The production program is generated by a dedicated production program generation device, or by the control device 20 based on various input data.

After reading the production program in step S52, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 detects the state of the apparatus as step S54. Specifically, the configurations of the component supply units 14f and 14r, the types of filled electronic components, the types of prepared suction nozzles, and the like are detected. After the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 detects the state of the apparatus in step S54 and completes the preparation, as step S56 , the board is carried in. The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 carries in a board|substrate in step S56, arrange|positions a board|substrate to the position to mount an electronic component, and as a step S58, mounts an electronic part on a board|substrate. The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 carries out the board|substrate as step S60 after completion|finish of mounting of an electronic component in step S58. After the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 unloads the substrate in step S60, it is determined in step S62 whether or not the production has been completed. When the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines in step S62 that production has not been completed (No), it proceeds to step S56 and executes the processing from step S56 to step S60 . That is, a process of mounting electronic components on a substrate based on a production program is performed. When the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines in step S62 that the production has been completed (YES), it ends this process.

The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 reads the production program and performs various settings as described above, and then mounts the electronic component on the substrate, thereby manufacturing the substrate on which the electronic component is mounted. In addition, in the electronic component mounting apparatus 10, as an electronic component, a lead type electronic component having a main body and a lead connected to the main body is mounted on a substrate, specifically, by inserting the lead into a hole (insertion hole) formed on the substrate. Inserted in, so that the electronic components can be mounted on the substrate.

Next, an example of the process of registering various information of the electronic component mounted on the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 is demonstrated using FIG. 77 to FIG. 83D. The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 specifies various values of the mounting process by the production program based on the registered electronic component information, and executes mounting of the electronic component based on the specified values. In addition, various information on electronic components may be registered as a part of the production process, or may be registered as information on a single electronic component shared by a plurality of production processes.

The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 displays an operation screen 602 shown in FIG. 77 on the display unit 42 (the touch panel 42 a or the image monitor 42 b ). The operation screen 602 displays various input items. An operator can input information on electronic components by performing various operations in a state displayed on the operation screen 602 . 77 shows a screen for inputting information on electronic components as component data, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 may also input board data, mounting data, suction data, and image data.

An operation screen 602 shown in FIG. 77 displays an input item 604 for inputting a component category of an electronic component and an input item 606 for inputting a package shape. In addition, the operation screen 602 includes items for inputting external dimensions including the width, length, height, and lead length of the electronic component; and selecting whether to use laser (laser recognition device 38 ) or image (VCS unit 17 ) in the centering method. items; items for entering the package size (size of the body of the electronic part), etc. In addition, tabs for displaying detailed items such as package shape, centering, additional information, expansion, and inspection are also displayed on the operation screen 602 . In addition, in the operation screen 602 of this embodiment, as detailed items of the package shape, an input item 608 indicating the angle of electronic components supplied to the holding position, an input item 608 indicating the type of holding tape, and an input item indicating the angle of the electronic component are included. The input item for the spacing information of the configured spacing.

Here, the input item 604 is an item for inputting the type of electronic component to be registered, and when an item is selected, a list 610 of selected items is displayed on the pull-down menu as shown in FIG. 78 . In the list 610 , in addition to the types of various electronic components, options for inserting components and other components are displayed. The operator can input information into the input item 604 of the component category by aligning the cursor 612 with a desired selection item and performing a confirmation operation.

In the input item 608, 0°, 90°, 180°, 270°, or others can be selected as the component providing angle indicating the angle of the electronic component supplied to the input holding position. For example, as shown in FIG. 79A , when the target electronic component is the electronic component 614 , the states of the electronic component 614 after every 90° rotation are 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270° attitudes. The operator inputs an angle to the input item 608 based on the posture of the electronic component 614 when it is supplied to the holding position of the electronic component supply apparatus. In addition, the reference position of the angle of the electronic component 614 may be set by an operator.

In addition, in the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 , as shown in FIG. 79B , the electronic component 616 may be held in a state inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the holding tape 618 . Here, the electronic component 616 is a film capacitor. When the posture shown by the electronic component 616 does not correspond to any of 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°, the operator inputs the angle of the electronic component 616 in "Other". Here, when holding the electronic component 616 , in the mounting head 15 , it is preferable to use a gripping nozzle for holding the electronic component 616 as the suction nozzle 32 . When the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 holds the electronic component 616 using the gripping nozzle, the angle of the nozzle can be adjusted based on the angle provided to the component input in "Other" of the input item 608, so that the gripping nozzle can be adjusted. The contact surface of the holding nozzle is formed at an angle corresponding to the inclination of the electronic component 616, so that the occurrence of holding errors can be reduced.

In the electronic component mounting apparatus 10, when the operation screen 602 shown in FIG. An operation screen 620 shown in FIG. 80 is displayed on a part of the screen 602 . The operation screen 620 includes an input item 622 of a loading pushing amount and an input item 624 of an adsorption pushing amount. In addition, the operation screen 620 also displays the following selection items: whether to perform a test run, whether to confirm component release by a sensor, whether to perform component suction position correction, whether to perform automatic teaching, and whether to perform component skipping. In addition, an item of component disposal for inputting an electronic component processing method when the component is discarded (when it is determined that the component cannot be mounted) is also displayed.

The input item 622 is an item for setting the size of the electronic component to be press-fitted from the upper surface of the substrate at the time of mounting. "0" is a value which makes the distance between an electronic component and a board|substrate zero among design values. In the electronic component mounting apparatus 10, when the numerical value becomes larger in the positive direction, the electronic component is moved to a state of being pressed in below the substrate in the vertical direction. By setting the push-in amount, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of mounting misalignment or component slipping on the solder when mounting without reaching the substrate due to the influence of the flatness of the substrate, etc. In addition, in order to more reliably mount the electronic component on the board, it is preferable to set the initial value to a positive value, for example, to 0.5 mm.

The input item 624 is the pushing amount at the time of component holding. That is, it is an item for setting the distance between the suction nozzle and the electronic component when the electronic component is held by the suction nozzle at the holding position of the electronic component supply apparatus. "0" is a value that makes the distance between the electronic component and the holding portion of the suction nozzle 0 among design values. In the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 , when the numerical value becomes larger toward the positive direction, the suction nozzle is moved to a state where the electronic component is pushed downward in the vertical direction. By setting the push-in amount, it is possible to suppress the influence of the component size (height) fluctuation, etc., so that the suction nozzle cannot reach the electronic component, the component cannot be adsorbed or grasped, or the chip-shaped electronic component is raised, etc. Phenomenon. Moreover, in order to hold an electronic component by a suction nozzle more reliably, it is preferable to set an initial value to a positive value, for example, to 0.2 mm.

In addition, the operation screen 620 displays input items of the component layer. The input item of the component layer is an item for setting the priority of each component in the same mounting layer. By setting this item, it is possible to set the priority of the mounting order of the electronic components when the production is performed in the optimum order.

In addition, the operation screen 620 displays input items of gripping nozzle data. Here, the gripping nozzle is a gripping nozzle that grips and holds an electronic component. The pressing position is a position where the electronic component is pressed when gripped. Horizontal clearance is an item for inputting the clearance between the pressing surface of the fixed side arm of the gripping nozzle and the part with a negative number. The suction nozzle direction is an item for inputting the suction nozzle direction when parts are supplied at 0 degrees. The suction height fine-tuning value is an item for inputting an offset value of the grasping height (suction height) at the time of grasping.

In the electronic component mounting apparatus 10, when the operation screen 602 shown in FIG. An operation screen 630 shown in FIG. 81 is displayed on a part of the operation screen 602 . On the operation screen 630 , items for setting various conditions of the state detection process of the electronic component executed by the laser recognition device 38 are displayed. The operation screen 630 includes an input item 632 for setting the moving speed of the nozzle, an input item 632 for the laser height, and an input item 634 for the component shape. Here, θ speed (during measurement) is an item for inputting the θ-axis acceleration of the nozzle during laser recognition, and θ speed (other than measurement) is an input of rotation after laser centering, such as rotation for obtaining a mounting angle, etc. In the case of the θ-axis acceleration item of the nozzle.

The input item 632 is an item for inputting the distance from the tip of the suction nozzle to the laser irradiation surface at the time of measurement. The input item 634 is an item for inputting the shape of the electronic component to be measured. As shown in FIG. 82 , the component shape information is input by specifying it with a cursor 638 from a list 636 of display options. By inputting the shape of the component, specifically the main body shape of the electronic component, in the input item 634 , when the shape of the electronic component is recognized by the laser recognition device 38 , it can be determined whether it is a feature point of the electronic component. For example, when no notch is input in the input item 634, four vertices are detected. In the case of the electronic components 640 and 641 shown in FIG. 83A , the positions of four vertices 1 to 4 are respectively detected. Thus, it is possible to detect positional deviation and angular deviation. In addition, when a missing corner is input to the input item 634, 5 to 8 vertices are detected. In the case of the electronic component 642 shown in FIG. 83B , the positions of six vertices 1 to 6 are detected. In the case of the electronic component 643 shown in FIG. 83B , the positions of eight vertices 1 to 8 are detected. Thus, it is possible to detect positional deviation and angular deviation. When PLCC is input to the input item 634, eight vertices are detected. In the case of the electronic component 644 shown in FIG. 83C , the positions of eight vertices 1 to 8 are detected. In addition, in the case of PLCC, positional deviation and angular deviation can be detected using 4 points out of 8 detected vertices. In addition, when flexibility is input in the input item 634, 8 points in the vicinity which make the member width of an XY direction minimum are detected. In the case of the electronic components 646 and 647 shown in FIG. 83D , the positions of eight points 1 to 8 are detected. In the case of the electronic component 643 shown in FIG. 83D , the positions of eight vertices 1 to 8 are detected. Thus, it is possible to detect positional deviation and angular deviation.

The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 can display the operation screens 602, 620, 630, etc. as described above, and acquire various information related to electronic components. The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 can appropriately mount the electronic component on the board by performing the mounting process of the electronic component based on the acquired various information related to the electronic component. In addition, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 provides various input items suitable for leadless electronic components without leads (mount-on electronic components) and lead-type electronic components with leads inserted into the board (plug-in electronic components). Processing corresponding to each electronic component can be performed. For example, in the electronic component mounting apparatus 10, as a component type, an insertion component indicated as an insertion type electronic component can be input. Thus, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 can detect whether it is a mount-type electronic component or an insertion-type electronic component by detecting the type of the component, that is, whether the lead wire is inserted into the hole (insertion hole) of the substrate during mounting ( plugged in or piggybacked) for detection.

The recognition operation of the shape of an electronic component will be described using FIGS. 84 and 85 . 84 and 85 are flowcharts each showing an example of the operation of the electronic component mounting device. The processing shown in FIGS. 84 and 85 is executed by controlling the operation of each part by the control unit 60 .

The processing shown in FIG. 84 is processing for setting a position for measuring the shape of an electronic component. Here, the control unit 60 may perform the processing shown in FIG. 84 every time the shape of the electronic component is measured, or may execute it for all electronic components when setting the mounting operation of the electronic component on the substrate. In the actual electronic component mounting process, shape measurement can also be performed based on the result (measurement position setting result) performed and determined in advance.

As step S112, the control unit 60 determines whether or not a measurement position is set. Here, the "measurement position setting" refers to the information on the position for measuring the shape of the target electronic component set by the operator, and the input value of the laser height on the above-mentioned operation screen. When the control unit 60 determines in step S112 that there is a setting (Yes), as step S114, the measurement position is set based on the setting, that is, the measurement position set by the operator is set as the position of the electronic component. The position is measured, and this process ends. In addition, when it is determined in step S112 that there is no setting (No), the control unit 60 sets the reference position as the measurement position in step S116 and ends this process. Here, the reference position refers to a reference measurement position set according to the type of electronic component, that is, a capacitor, an IC chip, or the like.

In the electronic component mounting apparatus 10, the measurement position can be set by the operator as described above, and a position arbitrarily set by the operator can be used as the measurement position. In addition, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 may set a plurality of measurement positions for one electronic component. For example, in the case of a radial lead type electronic component, the shapes of two parts, the main body and the lead, can be measured. In addition, when the measurement position is set, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 acquires information on the shape of the electronic component at the measurement position based on the setting. In addition, as the information on the shape, the result of measurement by the laser recognition device 38 may be used, or the shape data of the electronic component input by the operator may be used.

Next, the processing shown in FIG. 85 is the processing before mounting the electronic component, specifically, the measurement processing of the shape of the electronic component and the determination processing based on the measurement result. In addition, the control unit 60 executes the process of FIG. 85 for all electronic components to be held. As step S120, the control part 60 acquires the data of the electronic component of a storage object. Here, the data of an electronic component to be held (attraction target, grip target) refers to various information necessary for mounting the electronic component on a substrate. The data of the electronic component to be held is the position of the component supply device 100 holding the electronic component, the shape data of the electronic component, the suction height (holding height) of the electronic component, and the measurement position of the electronic component by the laser recognition device 38 . information etc.

After acquiring the data in step S120, the control unit 60 specifies the measurement position as step S122. That is, the control part 60 specifies the position which detects the shape of an electronic component, ie, the position in the Z-axis direction of an electronic component based on the data acquired in step S120. In addition, the control part 60 may perform the process of step S120 and step S122 before adsorption|suction of an electronic component.

When the measurement position is specified in step S122 and the electronic component is picked up by the suction nozzle, the control unit 60 adjusts the Z-axis position of the electronic component as step S124. That is, the control part 60 moves the measurement position of the electronic component specified in step S122 to the measurement area|region of the laser recognition device 38 by moving a suction nozzle to Z-axis direction. The control part 60 measures the shape of an electronic component as step S126 after adjusting the Z-axis position of an electronic component in step S124. That is, the control unit 60 detects the shape of the electronic component at the measurement position using the laser recognition device 38 .

After the control part 60 detects the shape at the measurement position of an electronic component in step S126, it determines whether measurement is complete|finished as step S128. That is, the control unit 60 determines whether the shape measurement at the measurement position specified in step S122 has been completed. When it is determined in step S128 that the measurement has not been completed (No), the control unit 60 proceeds to step S124 and performs the processing of steps S124 and S126 again to measure the shape of the measurement position where the measurement has not been completed. The control part 60 detects the shape of the set measurement position by repeating position adjustment and shape measurement of an electronic component as mentioned above.

When the control unit 60 determines in step S128 that the measurement has been completed (Yes), in step S130 , the measurement result is compared with the reference data. Here, the reference data is data on the shape of the electronic component to be sucked (to be held) acquired in step S120. The control unit 60 compares the measurement result with the reference data to determine whether the attracted electronic component has a shape matching the reference data, whether the orientation of the electronic component matches the reference data, and the like.

After the comparison in step S130, as step S132, the control unit 60 determines whether or not the component is appropriate. Specifically, in step S132, the control unit 60 determines whether or not the electronic component has been sucked in a mountable state. When the control part 60 judges in step S132 that a component is not suitable (No), as step S134, the electronic component picked up by the suction nozzle is discarded, and this process is complete|finished. The control unit 60 moves the mounting head and the suction nozzle to a position facing the component storage unit 19 , and puts the electronic component held by the suction nozzle into the component storage unit 19 to discard the electronic component. In addition, the control unit 60 executes again the process of mounting the same type of electronic component on the same mounting position (mounting position) on the substrate.

When the control unit 60 determines in step S132 that the component is appropriate (Yes), as step S136 , it determines whether the direction of the component (direction in the rotation direction of the suction nozzle) is appropriate. That is, it is determined whether or not the attracted electronic component is oriented in the same direction as the reference. Moreover, as step S136, the control part 60 of this embodiment judges whether an electronic component is reversed. When the control part 60 determines in step S136 that the direction is inappropriate, that is, the electronic component is in an inverted state (No), it inverts the electronic component in step S138, and then proceeds to step S140.

When the determination in step S136 is YES or when the process of step S138 is executed, the control unit 60 finely adjusts the mounting position (mounting position) of the electronic component based on the holding position as step S140 . For example, the position where the suction nozzle picks up the electronic component is detected based on the shape detection result of the electronic component, and the relative position between the suction nozzle and the substrate during mounting is adjusted based on the deviation of the holding position from the reference position. The control unit 60 ends this process after executing the process of step S140. Moreover, after performing the process of step S140 of FIG. 85, the control part 60 mounts an electronic component on a board|substrate based on the result of step S140 with respect to the electronic component determined.

The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 detects the shape of the electronic component using the laser recognition device 38 as described above, and performs various processes based on the result, so that the electronic component can be more appropriately mounted on the board.

The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 discards the electronic component in step S134 of the flowchart shown in FIG. 85 , but may execute a process of correcting the lead shape when determining that the lead shape of the electronic component is not appropriate. That is, instead of discarding the electronic component in step S134 , the leads of the electronic component may be corrected (processed) into an insertable shape and mounted at the mounting position (mounting position). In the electronic component mounting device 10, the lead wires of the electronic components can be corrected by using the mechanism for clamping the electronic components of the cutting unit of the electronic component supply device 100, or the lead wires of the electronic components can be corrected by using an additional correction mechanism. fix. As described above, as the processing means for processing the shape of the lead wire, various means such as a mechanism for clamping the main body of the electronic component or the lead wire, and a separately provided correction mechanism can be used.

Next, the determination operation for determining the mounting order (mounting order) of electronic components will be described using FIGS. 86 and 87 . The mounting sequence includes the sequence of inserted electronic components. Fig. 86 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the operation of the electronic component mounting device.

The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 of this embodiment has a list 302 shown in FIG. 86 as data of a production program. The list 302 contains information on mounting layers corresponding to mounting points of the substrate (including points inserted into the substrate) and information specifying insertion components. Here, the "mounting layer" refers to priority information used when determining the mounting order of electronic components, and is set with a numerical value of 1 to 7. Here, with regard to the loading layer, the smaller the numerical value, the higher the loading order is, and the larger the numerical value, the lower the loading order is. In addition, the loading layer is a value set by an operator in consideration of various information. The insertion component designation is an item indicating whether or not the electronic component mounted on the mounting point is an insertion component. In addition, in FIG. 86 , "Yes" indicates that a mounting point designated as an insertion component is indicated. Here, the insertion member mainly refers to an electronic component such as a radial lead type electronic component in which leads are inserted into holes formed in a substrate. In addition, the designation of insertion parts is also information set by the operator. Therefore, the designation of the insertion component may be set to “Yes” for the mounting point determined by the operator as the insertion component regardless of the type of the electronic component.

The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 generates the mounting order list 304 using the information of the list 302 . Here, in the mounting sequence list 304 , the mounting points on the upper side of the list are the mounting points where the electronic components are mounted first, and the mounting points on the lower side of the list are the mounting points where the electronic components are mounted later. That is, in the mounting order list 304 , the order of mounting electronic components is shown sequentially from the top. Here, the internal layers of the mounting order list 304 are information specifying a layer specified by the control unit 60 based on the mounting layer and the insertion component. The control unit 60 specifies the mounting points where the electronic components are mounted in order from the mounting point with the smaller numerical value of the inner layer.

Fig. 87 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the electronic component mounting device. The process shown in FIG. 87 is an example of the process of generating the installation order list 304 based on the list 302 . The processing shown in FIG. 87 is executed by controlling the operation of each part by the control unit 60 . As step S200, the control unit 60 reads out the production program. The control unit 60 reads the production program from an external device, or reads the production program from the storage unit of the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 . After reading the production program in step S200, the control unit 60 acquires information on the mounting point n as step S202. Specifically, the information on the mounting layer of the mounting point n and the information specifying the insertion part are acquired.

After the control unit 60 acquires the information of the mounting point n in step S202, as step S204, it is determined whether the mounting point n=insert part, that is, the information specifying the insertion part of the mounting point n is "Yes". When the control unit 60 determines in step S204 that it is not the mounting point n=insert component (No), it sets as step S206 that the internal layer=mounting layer. That is, the control unit 60 sets the numerical value of the mounting layer to the numerical value of the inner layer when the information of the designation of the insertion component of the mounting point n is not “Yes”. After the control part 60 performs the process of step S206, it progresses to step S210. When the control unit 60 determines in step S204 that mounting point n=insert component (Yes), it sets internal layer=mounting layer+7 as step S208. That is, the control unit 60 sets the numerical value obtained by adding 7 to the numerical value of the mounting layer as the numerical value of the internal layer when the information of the insertion component designation of the mounting point n is “Yes”. After the control part 60 performs the process of step S208, it progresses to step S210.

After performing the process of step S206 or step S208 , the control unit 60 determines whether the loading data is completed, that is, whether the inner layer has been calculated for all the loading points, as step S210 . When the control part 60 judges in step S210 that it is not finished (No), as step S212, it sets the mounting point n to n+1, and progresses to step S202. That is, the above-described processing is performed with the mounting point of the detection target in the inner layer being the next mounting point.

When the control unit 60 determines in step S210 that it is completed (YES), that is, when the internal layers of all the mounting points have been set, as step S214 , the mounting order is determined. That is, the control unit 60 determines the order of mounting electronic components on the mounting points based on the set internal layers and various conditions. After determining the installation order, the control unit 60 creates an installation order list, and ends this process.

As mentioned above, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 can make the insertion part Mounted on the substrate in sequence. In addition, the operator can lower the mounting order of the electronic components to be targeted only by determining whether or not they are insertion components. Accordingly, when setting the mounting layer, it is not necessary to set the mounting layer of the electronic component in consideration of the layer used for the mounting layer. Thus, the burden on the operator in the operation of specifying the loading floor can be reduced.

The operation of the component supply device of the electronic component mounting apparatus will be described using FIG. 88 . Fig. 88 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the electronic component mounting device. The processing shown in FIG. 88 is executed by the components supply control unit 64 controlling the operation of each part of the components supply device based on the processing of the control unit 60 . Note that the processing shown in FIG. 88 is started in a state where no electronic components are placed in the holding area. As step S260, the component supply control unit 64 moves the holding belt by one pitch. That is, the component supply control unit 64 moves the holding belt by one pitch by reciprocating once or moving the feeding claw of the feeder unit once or in the feeding direction. As a result, the electronic component held on the holding tape main body is moved to the holding area.

After the component supply control unit 64 moves the electronic component to the holding area in step S260, as step S262, the lead wire of the electronic component moved to the holding area is cut. That is, the component supply control unit 64 cuts the portion of the lead wire located between the component main body and the holding tape main body using the cutting unit. After the component supply control unit 64 cuts the lead wire in step S262, the clamping state is maintained in step S264. That is, after the lead wire is cut by the cutting means, the component supply control unit 64 maintains a state in which the lead wire is sandwiched by the cut teeth.

After the component supply control unit 64 maintains the gripping state in step S264 , as step S266 , it is determined whether the suction nozzle 32 holds (suctions or grips) the electronic component. When the component supply control part 64 determines in step S266 that the electronic component is not held on the suction nozzle (No), it progresses to step S264. The component supply control unit 64 maintains the clamped state of the electronic component until it determines that the electronic component is held on the suction nozzle.

When the component supply control unit 64 determines in step S266 that the electronic component is held on the suction nozzle (Yes), in step S268 , the electronic component is released, that is, the clamped state is released. As a result, the electronic component separated from the holding tape by cutting the lead wire is moved to a predetermined mounting position (mounting position) by the suction nozzle, and mounted on the substrate.

After the component supply control unit 64 releases the electronic component in step S268, as step S270, it is determined whether or not there is a holding tape feed request. Here, the holding tape feed request refers to a request to move the holding tape by one pitch to move the next electronic component to the holding area. When the component supply control part 64 judges in step S270 that there is a request (Yes), it progresses to step S260, and performs the said process again.

When the component supply control unit 64 determines in step S270 that there is no request (No), it determines in step S272 whether or not the processing has ended. When the components supply control part 64 determines in step S272 that the processing has not been completed (No), it proceeds to step S270. In addition, when the component supply control part 64 determines with processing completion|finish (Yes) in step S272, this processing is complete|finish.

The component supply control unit 64 moves the electronic component to the holding area as described above, cuts and clamps the lead wire, and makes the suction nozzle suck the electronic component, and then releases the clamp so that the suction nozzle can suck the diameter in a movable state. to leaded electronic components.

Fig. 89 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the electronic component mounting device. In addition, the processing operation shown in FIG. 89 is an operation after carrying in a board|substrate to completion of mounting an electronic component on a board|substrate. In addition, the processing operation shown in FIG. 89 is executed by controlling the operation of each part by the control unit 60 .

As step S302, the control unit 60 carries in the substrate. Specifically, the control unit 60 uses the substrate transport unit 12 to transport the target substrate on which the electronic component is mounted to a predetermined position. After the control unit 60 carries in the substrate in step S302, it performs holding movement in step S304. Here, the holding movement (suction movement) refers to a processing operation of moving the head body 30 to a position where the suction nozzle 32 faces the electronic component 80 located in the holding area of the component supply unit 14 .

After the control unit 60 performs suction movement in step S304, the suction nozzle 32 is lowered in step S306. That is, the control unit 60 moves the suction nozzle 32 downward to a position where the electronic component 80 can be held (adsorbed, grasped). After the control unit 60 lowers the suction nozzle 32 in step S306, the component is held by the suction nozzle 32 in step S308, and the suction nozzle 32 is raised in step S310. After the control unit 60 raises the suction nozzle to a predetermined position in step S310, specifically, after moving the electronic component 80 to the measurement position of the laser recognition device 38, as step S312, the shape of the electronic component sucked by the suction nozzle 32 is checked. to test. After the control part 60 detects the shape of an electronic component in step S312, it raises a suction nozzle as step S314. In addition, the control unit 60 detects the component shape in step S312 as described above, and when it determines that the held electronic component is unmountable, discards the electronic component and adsorbs the electronic component again. After the control unit 60 raises the suction nozzle to a predetermined position, as step S316, it performs mounting movement, that is, a process of moving the electronic component sucked by the suction nozzle 32 to a position facing the mounting position (mounting position) of the substrate 8 . In the operation, as step S318, the suction nozzle 32 is lowered, as in step S320, component mounting (component mounting), that is, a processing operation of releasing the electronic component 80 from the suction nozzle 32 is performed, and as step S322, the suction nozzle 32 is raised. That is, the control unit 60 executes the processing operations from step S312 to step S320 to execute the above-mentioned installation processing.

When the control unit 60 raises the suction nozzle in step S322, as step S324, it is determined whether the mounting of all components is completed, that is, whether the mounting process of the electronic components to be mounted on the substrate 8 is completed. In step S324, the control unit 60 determines that the mounting of all components has not been completed (No), that is, when there are still electronic components scheduled to be mounted, the control unit 60 proceeds to step S304, and executes the process of mounting the next electronic component on the substrate 8. Handle actions. As described above, the control unit 60 repeats the above-mentioned processing operations until all the components are mounted on the substrate. When it is determined in step S324 that the mounting of all components has been completed (Yes), the control unit 60 ends this process.

Next, the operations of the component supply apparatus 100 and the mounting head 15 before and after the suction nozzles suction the electronic components held in the component supply apparatus 100 will be described using FIG. 90 . FIG. 90 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the electronic component mounting device. The processing shown in FIG. 90 is executed by controlling the operation of each part by the control unit 60 .

As step S340 , the control unit 60 performs the XY suction movement of the mounting head 15 and starts clamping the electronic component by the component supply device 100 . That is, as step S340, the control part 60 moves the mounting head 15 to XY direction, and moves the suction nozzle 32 to a holding|maintenance area. In addition, the control unit 60 arranges the electronic component in the holding area of the component supply device 100 , and then cuts the lead wires to bring it into a clamped state.

The control unit 60 performs the processing of step S340, and as step S342, when the movement of the holding position of the mounting head 15 is completed, that is, after moving the suction nozzle 32 of the mounting head 15 to the holding area, as step S344, the holding position is moved to the holding position. The waiting time is compared with the elapsed time, and as step S346, it is determined whether the waiting time has elapsed, that is, whether the elapsed time is greater than or equal to the clamping waiting time.

In step S346 , the control unit 60 proceeds to step S344 when it is determined that the waiting time has not elapsed (No), that is, the elapsed time is less than the clamping waiting time. The control unit 60 repeats the processing of steps S344 and S346 until the waiting time elapses.

When it is determined in step S346 that the waiting time has elapsed (Yes), the control unit 60 performs a Z-axis suction drop as step S348 . That is, the control unit 60 moves the suction nozzle to the lower side in the Z-axis direction to a position where the electronic component located in the holding area can be suctioned. After the control unit 60 performs the Z-axis suction drop in step S348, it performs component suction in step S350, that is, uses the suction nozzle to suction the electronic component, and as step S352, the clamp release waiting time and the existing Z-axis drop Waiting time for comparison. Here, the “clamp release waiting time” refers to the processing time required to release the clamped state of the electronic component being clamped by the component supply apparatus 100 . The conventional Z-axis descending waiting time is the waiting time for the suction nozzle of the mounting head at the position where the electronic component is picked up. In addition, the waiting time when the conventional Z-axis descends is a preset value, and is the time required for the adsorption process of the electronic component.

After the comparison in step S352, the control unit 60 determines in step S354 whether the unclamp waiting time is relatively large, that is, whether the conventional Z-axis descending waiting time<clamp unclamping waiting time. In step S354, the control unit 60 judges that the clamp release waiting time is relatively large (Yes), that is, when the existing Z-axis descending waiting time < clamp release waiting time, as step S356, the clamp release waiting time Stand by and go to step S360. In addition, when the control unit 60 determines in step S354 that the waiting time for clamp release is not large (No), that is, when the conventional Z-axis descending waiting time≧clamp release waiting time, as step S358, the conventional When the Z-axis descends, it waits for the time to wait, and proceeds to step S360.

After the control unit 60 performs the processes of steps S356 and S358, as step S360, the Z-axis suction lift of the mounting head and the supply operation of the component supply device are performed, and this process ends.

The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 can mount electronic components on the substrate by executing the processing operations shown in FIGS. 89 and 90 .

Next, an example of the processing in the case of holding the electronic component at the holding position of the electronic component supply apparatus 100 by the suction nozzle will be described with reference to FIGS. 91 to 92B . FIG. 91 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the electronic component mounting device. FIG. 92A is an explanatory diagram for explaining the operation of the electronic component mounting device. FIG. 92B is an explanatory diagram for explaining the operation of the electronic component mounting device. The processing shown in FIG. 91 can be executed by controlling each part by the control device 20 of the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 .

In the electronic component mounting apparatus 10, as step S402, the electronic component is held by the suction nozzle. That is, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 performs an operation of holding (suctioning, gripping) an electronic component located in the holding area of the electronic component supply apparatus by the suction nozzle. After the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 executes the holding operation in step S402, as step S404, the holding state of the electronic component is detected. Specifically, whether or not the suction nozzle holds an electronic component is detected by the laser recognition device 38 or the VCS unit 17 .

After the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 detects the holding state in step S404, as step S406, it is determined whether the suction nozzle holds the electronic component. When the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines in step S406 that the electronic component is held (Yes), this process ends. When the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines in step S406 that the electronic component is not held (No), as step S408 , the state of the holding position of the electronic component supply apparatus is detected. For example, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 detects the height of the holding position by the height sensor 37 and detects whether or not an electronic component is present at the holding position. In addition, the presence or absence of electronic components may be detected by imaging with the imaging device 36 .

After the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 detects the state of the holding position in step S408, it determines in step S410 whether or not there is an electronic component in the holding position. The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 proceeds to step S416 when determining that there is an electronic component in step S410 (Yes), and proceeds to step S412 when determining that there is no electronic component (No). Here, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 detects the presence or absence of electronic components based on the height of the holding position obtained by the height sensor 37 . For example, as shown in FIG. 92A, when there is an electronic component 80 on the holding area, the height of the holding area becomes higher, and as shown in FIG. 92B, when there is no electronic component 80 on the holding area, the height of the holding area becomes higher. Low (becomes the holding strap position). Accordingly, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines that the electronic component exists when the height of the holding area is higher than the threshold, and determines that there is no electronic component when the height is lower than the threshold.

When the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines No in step S410 , as step S412 , it is determined whether the number of feeding operations is greater than or equal to the threshold number of times. Here, the feeding operation refers to an operation in which the electronic component supply apparatus 100 conveys the holding tape corresponding to the arrangement interval of the electronic components. The number of feed operations in step S412 is the number of feed operations performed in a state where electronic components cannot be sucked. When the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines in step S412 that the number of feeding operations is greater than or equal to the threshold number of times (Yes), it proceeds to step S416, and when it determines that the number of feeding operations is not greater than or equal to the threshold number of times (No). , go to step S414.

When the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines No in step S412, it executes a holding tape feeding operation as step S414, and proceeds to step S402. When the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 judges as YES in step S410 or step S412, it executes error processing as step S416, and ends this process. Here, when the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines Yes in step S410, it notifies that an electronic component remains at the holding position as an error process. When the determination in step S412 is YES, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 notifies that the component cannot be confirmed even if the electronic component supply apparatus 100 performs a certain number of feeding operations as an error process.

As described above, when there is no electronic component remaining at the holding position, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 carries out the holding operation of the electronic component again by conveying the holding tape. , and the installation of electronic components can be continued without stopping the device. In addition, even if the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 moves from the holding position without being held by the suction nozzle in the electronic component supply apparatus 100 after cutting the lead wire, if there is no remaining electronic component at the holding position, the mounting operation is continued. , allowing for more efficient mounting of electronic components.

Fig. 93 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a suction nozzle. Fig. 94 is an explanatory view for explaining the holding operation of the suction nozzle of Fig. 93 . 93 and 94 are diagrams showing an example of a gripping nozzle (clamping nozzle). The suction nozzle 690 shown in FIGS. 93 and 94 has a fixed arm 692 and a movable arm 694 . In the suction nozzle 690, the fulcrum 695 of the movable arm 694 is fixed on the main body of the suction nozzle 690 in a rotatable state, and the movable arm 694 can use the fulcrum 695 as the axis to make the part opposite to the fixed arm 692 approach the fixed arm The direction of 692 moves away. In the movable arm 694 , the drive unit 696 is connected to the opposite side of the portion approaching or separating from the fixed arm 692 with respect to the body portion of the suction nozzle 690 across the fulcrum 695 . The drive unit 696 is moved by a drive source (air pressure) that drives the suction nozzle. The movable arm 694 moves the part opposing the fixed arm 692 from the direction approaching the fixed arm 692 to the direction away from the fixed arm 692 by the movement of the driving part 696 .

The suction nozzle 690 can hold the electronic component 80 as shown in FIG. .

The grip nozzle is not limited to the nozzle 690, and may have various shapes. 95A to 95D are explanatory views each showing an example of a suction nozzle. The suction nozzle 690a shown in FIG. 95A, the suction nozzle 690b shown in FIG. 95B, the suction nozzle 690c shown in FIG. 95C and the suction nozzle 690d shown in FIG. Nozzles with different ranges of movement. Therefore, the shapes of electronic components that can be grasped differ from the suction nozzle 690a to the suction nozzle 690d.

The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 can appropriately hold the electronic component by selecting the type of the suction nozzle holding the electronic component according to the type of the electronic component to be held. Specifically, by selecting whether to use a suction nozzle or a grip nozzle according to the electronic components to be held, and switching which nozzle to use among each type of nozzle, it is possible to mount electronic components with one unit. The device mounts a wider variety of electronic components.

Next, an example of processing during mounting of electronic components by the electronic component mounting apparatus will be described using FIG. 96 . FIG. 96 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the electronic component mounting device. In the electronic component mounting apparatus 10, the electronic component held by each suction nozzle of a mounting head is specified as step S450. That is, the type of the electronic component to be held by the suction nozzle next is specified.

After the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 specifies the electronic component in step S450, it determines whether the suction nozzle has been replaced as step S452. If it is determined in step S452 that the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 has not replaced the nozzle (No), it will proceed to step S456. When the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines in step S452 that there is replacement of the suction nozzle (Yes), it executes the replacement of the suction nozzle in step S454 . Specifically, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 moves the mounting head 15 to the replacement nozzle holding mechanism 18, moves the nozzle held by the mounting head to the replacement nozzle holding mechanism 18, and holds the nozzle on the replacement nozzle holding mechanism 18. Install the nozzle to be used next time on the loading head. The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 uses the replacement nozzle holding mechanism 18 to replace the nozzles mounted on the mounting head from suction nozzles to gripping nozzles, or to change the type of suction nozzles, or to change the type of gripping nozzles. After the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 performs the process of step S454, or in the case of determining No in step S452, as step S456, the holding operation of the electronic component is performed, that is, using the suction nozzle mounted on the mounting head 15, performing The holding operation of the electronic component determined in step S450 ends this process.

As shown in FIG. 96 , the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 can hold the electronic component with a more appropriate suction nozzle by changing the suction nozzle mounted on the mounting head according to the type of electronic component. In addition, since the suction nozzle can be replaced, both the lead-type electronic component and the mount-type electronic component can be appropriately held by one electronic component mounting apparatus 10 . In addition, more kinds of electronic components can be held. Since the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 holds the main parts of both the lead type electronic component and the mount type electronic component, that is, the portion without leads, a common suction nozzle can be used to hold both types of electronic components. Thereby, it is possible to hold the lead type electronic component without providing a dedicated suction nozzle for holding the lead wire. In addition, since the above-mentioned effects can be obtained, it is preferable to hold the main body of the lead type electronic component, but a suction nozzle for holding the lead wires may also be provided.

Next, an example of processing from execution of preparatory processing (setting of production program, preparation of each part, adjustment of parts supply device, etc.) to start of production will be described with reference to FIGS. 97 and 98 . FIG. 97 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the electronic component mounting device. FIG. 98 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the operation of the electronic component mounting apparatus. In addition, the process of FIG. 97 may be performed as the process from suspension of production until it resumes.

In the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 , as step S460 , a preparatory process is executed, and as step S462 , the lead wires of the electronic component are cut by the cutting unit of the electronic component supply apparatus 100 to sandwich the electronic component. In addition, the process of step S462 is executed as part of the preparatory process of step S460. In addition, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 does not hold the electronic component by the mounting head after sandwiching it.

After executing the process of step S462, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 outputs information as step S464. Specifically, a screen 698 shown in FIG. 98 is displayed as a message. On the screen 698, a message "Maintain clamped state?", a "Yes" button 699a, and a "No" button 699b are displayed.

The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 displays a message in step S464, selects and confirms any one of the buttons 699a and 699b, and then determines whether or not to maintain the clamping state as step S466. If the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines in step S466 that the clamped state is not maintained (No), that is, the button 699 b is selected, the clamped state is released in step S467 , the electronic component is released, and this process ends. In this case, the operator recovers the electronic components from the holding area. In addition, in this embodiment, an inquiry is made as to whether or not to maintain the clamped state, but it is also possible to inquire as to whether or not to release the clamped state. In this case, the corresponding functions of "yes" and "no" are reversed.

If the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines in step S466 that the clamping state is maintained (Yes), that is, the button 699a is selected, then as step S468, the clamping state is maintained, and as step S469, after the start of production, the clamped electronic component is used. part, end this process.

As shown in FIG. 97, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10, when performing preparatory processing for the purpose of adjusting the cutting position of the electronic component, etc., uses the electronic component whose leads have been cut as the first batch of the electronic component supply apparatus after the start of production. The use of one electronic part can reduce the burden on the operator. Specifically, time for collecting electronic components can be saved, and time for manually inserting collected electronic components into a board can be reduced.

Next, an example of processing executed by the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 at the time of electronic component mounting will be described using FIG. 99 . FIG. 99 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the electronic component mounting device.

The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 specifies the position where the electronic component is mounted as step S470, and detects the height of the mounting position as step S472. In addition, the height of the substrate at the mounting position can be detected by the height sensor 37 . After the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 detects the height in step S472, as step S474, it checks whether the height is less than or equal to the threshold value (reference value) (whether the distance between the mounting head and the measurement position is longer than the threshold value (reference value)). determination. That is, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines whether or not there is nothing mounted on the position on the substrate where the electronic component is mounted.

When the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines in step S474 that the height is not less than or equal to the threshold value (No), that is, when the height is higher than the threshold value, it determines that some components are mounted on the mounting position, performs error processing as step S476, and ends. This processing. When the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines in step S474 that the height is smaller than or equal to the threshold value (Yes), it determines that no component is mounted on the mounting position, executes electronic component mounting processing in step S478 , and ends the processing.

As shown in FIG. 99, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 detects the height of the substrate at the position where the electronic component is mounted, and when the height of the substrate is high, by performing error processing, it is possible to suppress the presence of other components, etc., at the mounting position of the substrate. In the case of an obstacle, when performing an action to mount an electronic component. Thereby, electronic components can be mounted while suppressing damage to a board|substrate or an electronic component. In addition, in FIG. 99 , the height sensor 37 is used to detect the height of the board in order to simplify the process, but the imaging device 36 may be used to detect the state of the mounting position on the board.

Next, using FIGS. 100 to 109, in the processing operation of the electronic component mounting apparatus, the operation of mounting electronic components to the mounting position (mounting position) of the substrate, specifically, the operation of moving the suction nozzle in the Z-axis direction will be described. action. FIG. 100 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the electronic component mounting device. FIG. 101 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a lead type electronic component. In addition, it is preferable that the processing shown in FIG. 100 is executed during the preparatory operation (optimization processing) based on the production program and the teaching result. In this case, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 only needs to control the operation based on the result calculated by the preparatory operation at the time of production, that is, when the process of actually mounting the electronic component on the board is performed. In addition, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 may perform the process shown in FIG. 100 at the time of production, that is, when actually performing the process of mounting the electronic component on the board. In addition, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 executes the process shown in FIG. 100 for each electronic component mounted on the board.

As step S502, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines whether it is a lead type electronic component. That is, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines whether or not the electronic component mounted on the substrate (electronic component to be processed) is an electronic component in which leads are inserted into the insertion holes of the substrate. When the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines in step S502 that it is not a lead type electronic component (No), as step S504 , the movement pattern in the Z-axis direction is calculated using the first speed reference, and this process ends. In addition, the processing of step S504 will be described later.

When the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines in step S502 that it is a lead-type component (Yes), it determines in step S506 whether or not the lead is molded. Here, the term "formed leads" refers to a state where the lead wires are not in a straight shape but have bent portions and meandering portions formed therein. For example, in the electronic component 700 shown in FIG. 101 , when a bent portion is formed on the lead wire 704 connected to the main body 702 , the lead wire 704 is molded. Connectors and the like are excited as electronic components with lead wires molded. In addition, the lead wire of the electronic component is molded, that is, provided with a bent portion or a meander portion, so that it is difficult to be pulled out after being inserted into the insertion hole. That is, the molded portion functions to prevent detachment.

When the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines in step S506 that the leads are not molded (No), as step S508 , the movement pattern in the Z-axis direction is calculated using the second speed reference, and this process ends. In addition, the processing of step S508 will be described later. When the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines in step S506 that the leads have already been molded (Yes), as step S510 , the movement pattern in the Z-axis direction is calculated using the third speed reference, and the process ends. In addition, the processing of step S510 will be described later.

Next, the process of step S504, that is, the method of calculating the movement pattern in the Z-axis direction based on the first speed reference, will be described using FIG. 102 and FIG. 103 . Fig. 102 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the electronic component mounting device. Fig. 103 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between the moving speed of the suction nozzle and time. Here, step S504 is performed when it is determined that the electronic component is not a lead-type electronic component, that is, a mount-type electronic component in which a lead wire is not inserted into the insertion hole. That is, it is executed when the electronic component to be processed is an on-board electronic component.

The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 acquires the component height as step S520. Specifically, information on the height of the electronic component is acquired. The height of the electronic component refers to the height of the electronic component in the Z-axis direction. After detecting the component height in step S520, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 calculates the distance in the Z-axis direction between the mounting position and the suction nozzle as step S522. Specifically, the distance between the mounting position and the suction nozzle when the mounting head moves to the mounting position and the suction nozzle is moved in the Z-axis direction is calculated. In addition, the processing order of step S520 and step S522 may be reversed. In addition, the information in step S520 and step S522 may be obtained based on pre-input conditions, or may be obtained through measurement.

After the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 calculates the distance between the mounting position and the suction nozzle in step S522, as step S524, the condition for decelerating from the speed V1 to the speed V2 is determined, and as step S526, the condition for decelerating from the speed V2 is determined. Conditions are determined, and this process ends. Here, the speeds V1 and V2 are moving speeds in the Z-axis direction. The condition for decelerating from the speed V1 to the speed V2 refers to a condition for decelerating the moving speed of the suction nozzle from the speed V1 to the speed V2 when moving in the Z-axis direction. In the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 , the condition for decelerating from the speed V2 refers to a condition for further decelerating the moving speed of the suction nozzle from the speed V2 when moving in the Z-axis direction.

The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 specifies the movement pattern of the suction nozzle shown in FIG. 103 by specifying the conditions for changing (decelerating) the movement speed of the suction nozzle in steps S524 and S526 . In FIG. 103 , the relationship between the moving speed of the nozzle and time, that is, the moving speed of the nozzle at each time is shown. The movement pattern based on the first speed reference shown in FIG. 103 is that when the nozzle starts to move to the mounting position (the nozzle descends), it accelerates to the speed V1, and then moves at the speed V1 until time t1. Then, the suction nozzle starts decelerating at time t1 and decelerates to speed V2 at time t2. Here, time t2 is the time for making the distance between the lower end of the electronic component and the substrate a set distance. Specifically, it is the time when the lower end of the electronic component and the substrate approach to a certain distance. Then, the suction nozzle moves at a constant speed until time t3, starts to decelerate at time t3, and then stops.

The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 can move the electronic component at a speed (first speed) V1 within a time t1 by moving the electronic component in the movement pattern shown in FIG. 103 until the electronic component approaches the substrate within a certain distance (that is, at a range farther than a certain distance). Then, the electronic component is moved at a speed (second speed) V2 that is slower than the speed V1 until the electronic component is mounted (mounted) on the substrate, that is, until the electronic component can approach the substrate within a certain distance until the mounting is completed. (i.e., within a range of a certain distance). Thereby, the electronic component can be moved quickly within a range not affecting the substrate, and the electronic component can be moved slowly within a range capable of affecting the substrate. Accordingly, the time required for mounting can be shortened while maintaining the accuracy of mounting on the substrate. In addition, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 can press the electronic component to the substrate by determining the time t3 so that the electronic component moves at a constant speed and then stops after contacting the substrate, and the solder on the substrate can be pressed under a predetermined pressure. contact with electronic components.

Next, the method of calculating the movement pattern in the Z-axis direction based on the second velocity reference, which is the process of step S508, will be described with reference to FIGS. 104 to 107 . Fig. 104 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the electronic component mounting device. Fig. 105 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between the moving speed of the suction nozzle and time. 106 and 107 are explanatory diagrams for explaining an example of the operation of the electronic component mounting apparatus, respectively. Here, step S508 is executed when it is determined that the electronic component is a lead type electronic component, the lead is not molded, that is, it is a lead type electronic component in which the lead is inserted into the insertion hole, and the lead is linear. That is, it is executed when the electronic component to be processed is an unmolded lead-type electronic component.

In the electronic component mounting apparatus 10, a component height is acquired as step S530. Specifically, information on the height of the electronic component is acquired. The height of the lead type electronic component is the height of the electronic component in the Z-axis direction, that is, the component height 87 obtained by adding the heights of the main body 82 and the leads 84 of the electronic component as shown in FIG. 106 . After acquiring the component height (component length) in step S530, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 acquires the lead wire length as step S532. Here, the lead wire length is the height of the lead wire 84 in the Z-axis direction, that is, the length 86 of the lead wire 84 of the electronic component as shown in FIG. 106 . After acquiring the lead wire length 86 in step S532, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 calculates the distance in the Z-axis direction between the mounting position and the suction nozzle as step S534. Specifically, the distance between the mounting position and the suction nozzle when the mounting head is moved to the mounting position and the suction nozzle is moved in the Z-axis direction is calculated. In addition, the processing order of step S530, step S532 and step S534 may be reversed. In addition, the information in step S530, step S532, and step S534 may be obtained based on pre-input conditions, or may be obtained through measurement.

After the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 calculates the distance in the Z-axis direction between the mounting position and the suction nozzle in step S534, as step S536, the condition for decelerating from the speed V1 to the speed V3 is determined, and as step S538, based on the length of the lead wire , the conditions for decelerating from the speed V3 are determined, and this process ends. Here, the speeds V1 and V3 are moving speeds in the Z-axis direction. The condition for decelerating from the speed (first speed) V1 to the speed (second speed) V3 is a condition for decelerating the moving speed of the suction nozzle from the speed V1 to the speed V3 when moving in the Z-axis direction. In the electronic component mounting apparatus 10, the condition to decelerate from the velocity V3 is a condition to further decelerate the moving velocity of the suction nozzle from the velocity V3 when moving in the Z-axis direction. In addition, the speed V3 is slower than the speed V2 described above.

In the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 , the movement pattern of the suction nozzle shown in FIG. 105 is specified by specifying the conditions for changing (decelerating) the movement speed of the suction nozzle in steps S536 and S538 . In FIG. 105 , the relationship between the moving speed of the suction nozzle and time, that is, the moving speed of the suction nozzle at each time is shown. The movement pattern based on the second speed reference shown in FIG. 105 is to accelerate to the speed V1 when the nozzle starts to move to the mounting position (decline of the nozzle), and then move at the speed V1 until time t4. Then, the suction nozzle starts to decelerate at time t4 and decelerates to speed V3 at time t5. Here, the time t5 is the time for making the distance between the lower end of the electronic component (that is, the lower end of the lead wire 84 ) and the substrate a set distance as shown in FIG. 106 . Specifically, it is the time when the lower end of the electronic component and the substrate approach to a certain distance. Then, the suction nozzle moves at a constant speed until time t6, starts to decelerate at time t6, and then stops. Here, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 inserts the lead wire 84 into the insertion hole of the substrate as shown in FIG. 107 between time t5 and time t6 when mounting the electronic component in the movement pattern shown in FIG. 105 .

The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 can move the electronic component at the speed (first speed) V1 within the time t4 by moving the electronic component in the movement pattern shown in FIG. 107 until the electronic component approaches the substrate within a certain distance (i.e. , within a range farther than a certain distance). Then, the electronic component is moved at a speed (second speed) V3 that is slower than the speed V1 until the electronic component is mounted (mounted) on the substrate, that is, the electronic component can approach the substrate within a certain distance until the lead wire Insert it into the insertion hole and finish loading (that is, within a certain distance). Thereby, the electronic component can be moved quickly within a range not affecting the substrate, and the electronic component can be moved slowly within a range capable of affecting the substrate. Accordingly, the time required for mounting can be shortened while maintaining the accuracy of mounting on the substrate.

The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 can stably insert the lead into the board by detecting the timing of deceleration from the speed V3 based on the lead length, that is, by determining the interval from time t5 to time t6 . In addition, the electronic component may be moved until the main body 82 and the substrate approach each other at a certain distance. That is, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 can adjust the movement condition of the electronic component when the lead wire is inserted into the insertion hole, which cannot be adjusted only based on the component height, by using the lead wire length as a criterion for determination. Specifically, if the height of the main body 82 of the lead-type electronic component is taken as the component height, there is a case where the lead wire is decelerated after contacting the substrate. If the component height 87 of the lead-type electronic component is taken as the component height, it is necessary to The press-fit amount is adjusted for components, but in this embodiment, various conditions can be determined according to the length by inputting the length of the lead wire as a parameter.

Also, in the case of lead type electronic components, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 can adjust the pressing force for pressing the main body of the electronic component against the substrate after the electronic component contacts the substrate by adjusting the timing of time t6. Thereby, the main body can be moved to the board|substrate under different conditions with respect to the mount-type electronic component which presses the terminal to the solder.

Next, the process of step S510, that is, the method of calculating the movement pattern in the Z-axis direction based on the third speed reference will be described using FIG. 108 and FIG. 109 . Fig. 108 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the electronic component mounting device. Fig. 109 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between the moving speed of the suction nozzle and time. Here, step S510 is executed when it is determined that the electronic component is a lead type electronic component, the lead is molded, that is, the lead is inserted into the insertion hole, and the lead is not linear. That is, it is executed when the electronic component to be processed is a molded lead-type electronic component.

In the electronic component mounting apparatus 10, a component height is acquired as step S540. Specifically, information on the height of the electronic component is acquired. After obtaining the component height in step S540, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 obtains the lead wire length as step S541. The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 calculates the distance in the Z-axis direction between the mounting position and the suction nozzle as step S542 after acquiring the lead wire length in step S541. Specifically, the distance between the mounting position and the suction nozzle when the mounting head is moved to the mounting position and the suction nozzle is moved in the Z-axis direction is calculated. In addition, the processing order of step S540, step S541, and step S542 may be reversed. In addition, the information in step S540, step S541, and step S542 may be obtained based on pre-input conditions, or may be obtained through measurement.

After the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 calculates the distance between the mounting position and the suction nozzle in step S542, as step S544, the condition for decelerating from the speed V1 to the speed V4 is determined, and as step S546, based on the length of the lead wire, The conditions for the deceleration of the speed V4 are determined, and this process ends. Here, the speeds V1 and V4 are moving speeds in the Z-axis direction. The condition for decelerating from the speed (first speed) V1 to the speed (fourth speed) V4 is a condition for decelerating the moving speed of the suction nozzle from the speed V1 to the speed V4 when moving in the Z-axis direction. In the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 , the condition for decelerating from the speed V4 is a condition for further decelerating the moving speed of the suction nozzle from the speed V4 when moving in the Z-axis direction. In addition, the speed (fourth speed) V4 is slower than the speed (second speed) V3 described above.

In the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 , the nozzle movement pattern shown in FIG. 109 is determined by specifying conditions for changing (decelerating) the movement speed of the nozzle in steps S544 and S546 . In FIG. 109 , the relationship between the moving speed of the suction nozzle and time, that is, the moving speed of the suction nozzle at each time is shown. The movement pattern based on the third speed reference shown in FIG. 109 is to accelerate to the speed V1 when the nozzle starts to move to the mounting position (decline of the nozzle), and then move at the speed V1 until time t7. Then, the suction nozzle starts to decelerate at time t7 and decelerates to speed V4 at time t8. Here, the time t8 is the time for bringing the distance between the lower end of the electronic component (that is, the lower end of the lead) and the substrate to a set distance. Specifically, it is the time until the lower end of the electronic component and the substrate approach to a certain distance. Then, the suction nozzle moves at a constant speed until time t9, starts to decelerate at time t9, and then stops.

The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 can move the electronic component at the speed (first speed) V1 within the time t7 similarly to the case of FIG. 105 by moving the electronic component in the movement pattern shown in FIG. Close to the substrate within a certain distance (that is, within a range farther than a certain distance). Then, the electronic component is moved at a speed (fourth speed) V4 that is slower than the speed V1 until the electronic component is mounted (mounted) on the substrate, that is, the electronic component can approach the substrate within a certain distance until the lead wire Insert it into the insertion hole and finish loading (that is, within a certain distance). Thereby, the electronic component can be moved quickly within a range not affecting the substrate, and the electronic component can be moved slowly within a range capable of affecting the substrate. Accordingly, the time required for mounting can be shortened while maintaining the accuracy of mounting on the substrate.

The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 detects the timing of deceleration from the speed V4 based on the length of the lead, that is, determines the interval from time t8 to time t9 , thereby stably inserting the lead into the board as described above. In addition, the electronic component may be moved until the main body 82 and the substrate approach each other at a certain distance.

Also, in the case of lead type electronic components, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 can adjust the pressing force for pressing the main body of the electronic component against the substrate after the electronic component contacts the substrate by adjusting the timing of time t9. Thereby, the main body can be moved to the board|substrate under different conditions with respect to the mount-type electronic component which presses the terminal to the solder.

In addition, in the electronic component mounting apparatus 10, when the lead wire is molded and a larger sliding resistance occurs when the lead wire is inserted into the insertion hole, by setting the moving speed when the lead wire is inserted into the insertion hole to be slower than the speed V3 V4, so that the molded lead wire can be properly inserted into the insertion hole. Thereby, the electronic component which molded the lead wire can be mounted suitably on a board|substrate.

As shown in FIGS. 100 to 109 , the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 adjusts the movement pattern of the electronic component in the Z-axis direction according to the type of the electronic component, specifically whether it is a lead type electronic component or a mountable electronic component. Accordingly, the electronic components can be mounted on the substrate in a movement pattern corresponding to each electronic component. Also, in the case of lead-type electronic components, by adjusting the movement pattern of the electronic component in the Z-axis direction according to whether or not it is molded, the electronic component can be mounted on the substrate with a movement pattern corresponding to each electronic component.

The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 can set the moving speed V3 in the case of the lead-type electronic component slower than the moving speed V2 in the case of the mount-type electronic component in the range where the electronic component approaches the vicinity of the substrate. More reliable mounting of lead-type electronic components on boards. In addition, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 makes the moving speed V4 of the electronic component after the lead forming is slower than the moving speed V3 of the electronic component without the lead forming by setting the moving speed in the range of the electronic component close to the substrate. , so that the formed lead can be inserted into the insertion hole more reliably. Thereby, the reliability with which electronic components are mounted can be further improved.

In addition, in the case of mounting electronic components with leads as described above, by setting the movement pattern based on the length of the leads, the leads can be inserted into the insertion holes more appropriately, and the electronic components can be placed on the substrate with higher accuracy and efficiency. Install.

In addition, it is preferable that the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 changes the speed reference according to the type of electronic component as shown in FIG. 100 and performs calculation in a movement pattern corresponding to the type, but the present invention is not limited thereto. When the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 is configured to mount only lead type electronic components, the process of step S504 may be executed each time. In addition, the processing of step S506, step S508, and step S510 in FIG. 100 may be repeated. In addition, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 shows the relationship between speed and time as the movement pattern, but the movement pattern may be calculated from the relationship between speed and position, and between speed and distance.

Next, an example of processing operation at the time of mounting an electronic component will be described using FIG. 110 . FIG. 110 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the electronic component mounting device. The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 executes the process of FIG. 110 every time the suction nozzle of the mounting head performs an operation of picking up an electronic component. In addition, the process of FIG. 110 is basically the process in the case where both a lead type electronic component and a mount type electronic component are mounted on a board|substrate as an electronic component. In the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 , as step S910 , the electronic component to be held is specified, and as step S912 , it is determined whether or not the component to be held is a lead type electronic component.

When the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines in step S912 that it is a lead type electronic component (Yes), as step S914 , the lead type electronic component of the electronic component supply apparatus is held by the suction nozzle. That is, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 holds the lead-type electronic components supplied to the holding positions (second holding positions) of the electronic component supplying apparatuses 100 , 402 , 404 , 406 and the like with suction nozzles. After the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 holds the lead type electronic component by the suction nozzle in step S914, as step S916, the lead wire of the lead type electronic component is inserted into the insertion hole, and mounted on the board.

When the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines in step S912 that it is not a lead type electronic component (No), as step S917 , the electronic component supply apparatus holds the mountable electronic component by the suction nozzle. That is, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 holds the mount-type electronic component supplied to the holding position (first holding position) of the electronic component supply apparatus 100a etc. with a suction nozzle. After the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 holds the mount-type electronic component with the suction nozzle in step S917 , as step S918 , mounts the mount-type electronic component on the board. That is, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 mounts the mount-type electronic component on the board without inserting it into the insertion hole.

After the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 executes the process of step S916 or step S918 , that is, mounts electronic components, it determines whether or not mounting of all electronic components has been completed as step S919 . When the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines in step S919 that the mounting has not been completed (No), it proceeds to step S910 , specifies the next electronic component to be mounted, and executes the above-described processing on the specified electronic component. The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 will complete this process, if it determines with mounting completion (Yes) in step S919.

As shown in FIG. 110 , the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 can mount mount-type electronic components and lead-type electronic components on a board by using one mounting head. In addition, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 can mount both mount-type electronic components and lead-type electronic components using the same suction nozzle. Here, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 can carry out conveyance and mounting by the same suction nozzle as the mountable electronic component by holding (absorbing or gripping) the main body of the lead type electronic component. In addition, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines whether it is a mount-type electronic component or a lead-type electronic component, and switches whether to insert the lead wire into the insertion hole or not, so that even when using the same mounting head or the same suction nozzle, When mounting, it is also possible to mount on the substrate under conditions suitable for each electronic component. Thereby, the mount-type electronic component and the lead-type electronic component can be mounted without replacing the suction nozzle. In addition, since mount-type electronic components and lead-type electronic components can be mixed and mounted without distinguishing between them, restrictions on the order of mounting can be reduced, and mounting efficiency can be further improved.

Here, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 can more appropriately obtain the above effects by using radial lead type electronic components supplied by the electronic component supply apparatus 100 as described above as lead type electronic components. The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 holds the radial lead type electronic component after the lead wire has been cut into a predetermined length in the electronic component supply apparatus 100 by using the suction nozzle, more specifically, the main body is held and transported by the suction nozzle, and the lead wire is Insert it into the insertion hole to install it on the board. As described above, since the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 holds the main body of the electronic component, the lead length can be shortened. In addition, since the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 is configured to transport the main body of the holding belt and cut the lead wires before holding, it is possible to remove the portion of the lead wires of the radial lead type electronic components held by the holding belt for transport. In the last state, mount it on the board. Thereby, the lead wire of a radial lead type electronic component can be shortened and mounted on a board|substrate, and it can mount to a board|substrate in the state which stabilized the electronic component. Specifically, since the leads of the radial lead type electronic component can be mounted on the substrate with shortened lengths, vibrations applied to the substrate due to the leads coming into contact with the insertion holes during substrate mounting can be reduced. As a result, even if the radial lead type electronic components and the mounting type electronic components are mounted in the same process, the influence on the mounting of each other can be reduced. Even in the same process, that is, using the same mounting head or the same The suction nozzles can be installed continuously, and two kinds of electronic components can also be installed appropriately.

Here, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 of the above-described embodiment is configured to include a bowl feeder device 90 using a bowl feeder as the component supply unit 14f, and an electronic component supplying unit including a radial feeder as the component supply unit 14r. device 100, but is not limited thereto. The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 can have various combinations of component supply units. For example, an electronic component supply device in which a bowl-type feeder is installed on the two component supply units on the front side and a rear side, or an electronic component supply device in which a radial feeder is installed on the two component supply units on the front side and the rear side may also be used. device. In addition, as described above, an electronic component supply device (chip component feeder) 100 a that supplies mountable electronic components using an electronic component holding tape may be included as the component supply unit. In addition, all the electronic component supply devices of one component supply unit on the front side and the rear side may be provided as the electronic component supply device (chip component feeder) 100 a. That is, one of the front and rear component supply units may supply lead-type electronic components (electronic components inserted into the substrate), and the other may supply leadless electronic components (electronic components mounted on the substrate). In addition, in the electronic component mounting apparatus, a so-called tray feeder can also be used as the electronic component mounting apparatus. In addition, in the electronic component mounting apparatus, as the electronic component supply device, an axial feeder that cuts the lead wires of the axial type electronic components held on the holding tape to the substrate as described above may be used. Supply to the holding position with the lower part exposed and bent into a "U" shape. In this case, after the electronic component mounting device holds the main body of the axial type electronic component at the holding position of the axial feeder with the suction nozzle, it judges whether the spacing between the lead wires is good or not, and judges that the axial type electronic component is good. Insert into the insertion hole (board hole). The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 can mount or insert an electronic component on a board by suctioning or gripping the electronic component, regardless of which electronic component supply device is supplied. In addition, in an electronic component supply device that supplies lead-type electronic components, the lead-type electronic components are placed in an orientation in which the main body is arranged on the upper side in the vertical direction of the leads, that is, in an orientation in which the leads are arranged on the lower side in the vertical direction of the main body. The holding position supply is carried out by the suction nozzle. Here, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 is preferably a component supply unit having a bowl type feeder, or other types of electronic component supply devices, such as the above-mentioned radial feeder, the above-mentioned axial feeder, and a mount-type feeder, as shown in this embodiment. Component supply units such as an electronic component holding tape feeder, a bar feeder, and a tray feeder are arranged at positions facing each other via the substrate conveyance unit 12 , that is, the front side and the rear side. This prevents the vibration of the bowl feeder from affecting other types of component supply units, so that the holding action of the suction nozzles for electronic components supplied at the holding positions by other types of electronic component supply devices can be stabilized.

In addition, in this embodiment, although the component supply means was demonstrated as two components supply means 14f and 14r, the number is not limited. In addition, the two component supply units 14f and 14r may be regarded as one component supply unit, and the component supply units 14f and 14r may be regarded as a first component supply unit and a second component supply unit, respectively. For example, it can be considered that one component supply unit has a bowl feeder (component supply unit 14f, first component supply unit) and a radial feeder (component supply unit 14r, second component supply unit) as shown in the above-mentioned embodiment. supply department). In this case, the first component supply unit and the second component supply unit are disposed at positions facing each other across the substrate arrangement position. In addition, it can also be considered that one component supply unit 14f has a first component supply unit and a second component supply unit. For example, as described above, it can be considered that one component supply unit 14 f has a radial feeder (first component supply unit) and a chip component feeder (second component supply unit). As described above, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 may employ a configuration including a plurality of electronic component supplying apparatuses regardless of combination.

Here, as electronic components supplied by the electronic component supply apparatus 100 which is a radial feeder, there are various radial lead type electronic components in which leads can be held by holding tapes. The electronic component supply apparatus 100 can supply, for example, aluminum electrolytic capacitors, inductors, ceramic capacitors, film capacitors, and the like. In addition, as electronic components supplied by the electronic component supply devices 402 , 404 , and 406 which are bowl-type feeders, there are various lead-type electronic components of packaged components. The electronic component supply devices 402 , 404 , and 406 can supply, for example, solid state relays, DIP type electronic components, SIP type electronic components, connectors, transformers, and the like.

In addition, when the mounting head 15 of this embodiment has a plurality of suction nozzles in order to be able to mount more types of electronic components with one mounting head, the above-mentioned suction nozzle automatic changing device (in this embodiment In order to replace the mounting head by replacing the combination of the nozzle holding mechanism and the mounting head body), each nozzle is replaced with a variety of nozzles and gripping nozzles during installation and production. The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 specifies, for each component, according to component conditions such as the size and weight corresponding to the mountable electronic component and the lead type electronic component, whether the upper surface of the component body has a plane that can be sucked, and whether the component body can be gripped. Suction nozzles with suitable suction apertures or gripping nozzles with gripping parts of suitable shape and stored in the production program. The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 switches the nozzles to be mounted on the mounting head based on the correspondence between the electronic components and the nozzles stored in the production program, or specifies the nozzles holding the electronic components in the mounting head.

As a result, for example, when the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 changes the electronic component held by the suction nozzle from the mount-type electronic component to the lead-type electronic component during board mounting, the use of the same suction nozzle as the suction nozzle holding the mount-type electronic component may occur. A case of holding a lead type electronic component, and a case of holding a lead type electronic component with a different suction nozzle. The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 uses the automatic nozzle replacement device to automatically replace the suction nozzles when the electronic components to be mounted are changed during the preparation process or during production when the suction nozzles are different. That is, the following operation is continuously performed: when the electronic component mounted on the substrate during production is, for example, a mount-type electronic component, a suction nozzle (suction nozzle or gripping nozzle) suitable for the electronic component is selected, and the suction nozzle is moved. The mounted electronic component is held at the holding position of the electronic component supply device that supplies the electronic component, and the electronic component is held and moved to a predetermined position on the substrate, and the electronic component is mounted while controlling the descending speed. The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines whether the suction nozzles are the same or different when the mounting of the predetermined number of electronic components is completed and the next electronic component to be mounted is changed to a lead type electronic component. When the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines that the suction nozzles are the same, since there is no need to replace the suction nozzles, the same suction nozzles are used as the suction nozzles for the lead-type electronic components. In addition, when the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines that the suction nozzles are different, if there is a usable suction nozzle among other suction nozzles mounted on the mounting head, the suction nozzle is used as the suction nozzle for the lead-type electronic component. When there is no usable nozzle among the other nozzles, the nozzle is automatically replaced with the nozzle for the lead-type electronic component by the above-mentioned automatic nozzle replacement device. After preparing the suction nozzles for lead-type electronic components in this way, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 moves the mounting head to move the suction nozzles to the holding position of the lead-type electronic component supply apparatus. The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 utilizes an electronic component supply device that supplies lead-type electronic components, and uses a built-in cutting device (cutting unit) to pre-cut the lead wire from the electronic component tape (electronic component holding tape) to a short predetermined length. type electronic components, set in holding position. The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 holds the lead-type electronic component by sucking or gripping the lead-type electronic component with the above-mentioned suction nozzle, and distinguishes the distance between the lead wires and the positional deviation by using the detection unit (laser recognition device 38 ), thereby Electronic components moved to the substrate and inserted into the insertion hole (substrate hole) are screened, and the positional deviation of the lead wire is corrected when inserted into the insertion hole, and the descending speed at the time of insertion corresponds to the cut length of the lead wire. Gradually decelerates the switching control while proceeding with the installation.

In addition, when the mounting head 15 has a plurality of suction nozzles, it is only necessary to have at least one suction nozzle capable of holding and mounting lead-type electronic components (plug-in type electronic components), and various structures of the suction nozzles can be adopted. . For example, in the mounting head 15 , some of the suction nozzles may be used to hold lead-type electronic components, and the remaining suction nozzles may be used to hold mount-type electronic components. In this case, the electronic component mounting apparatus performs mounting control of substrate mounting of the mounted electronic component when holding the mounted electronic component with the suction nozzle, and performs mounting control of the mounted electronic component when holding the lead type electronic component. Mounting control for inserting the lead type electronic component into the insertion hole (substrate hole) is performed. In addition, the mounting head 15 may use all the suction nozzles as the suction nozzles which hold a lead type electronic component. In addition, when the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 determines the suction nozzle (or the gripping nozzle for gripping) to suction the electronic component to be mounted based on the production program, the electronic component is held and mounted according to the type of the electronic component. The suction nozzle is confirmed. As described above, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 prepares a plurality of suction nozzles that can be mounted on one mounting head, operates the suction nozzle automatic changing device during production according to the instructions based on the production program, and mounts the nozzles on the mounting head. The suction nozzles are detachably replaced with those corresponding to the electronic parts to be produced next time (mounted electronic parts), so that the lead type electronic parts are kept inserted on the board, and by board mounting of the mount-on type electronic parts, thus Substrate mounting can be performed sequentially.

Next, an example of an electronic component mounting system (mounting system) using the electronic component mounting apparatus described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 111 and 112 . FIG. 111 is a schematic diagram showing a schematic configuration of the electronic component mounting system. An electronic component mounting system (hereinafter also referred to as “mounting system”) 1 shown in FIG. 111 includes a pattern forming device 2 , a reflow processing device 4 , conveyance devices 6 and 7 , and an electronic component mounting device 10 . In the mounting system 1 , each part is arranged in order of the pattern forming device 2 , the conveying device 6 , the electronic component mounting device 10 , the conveying device 7 , and the reflow processing device 4 to convey the substrate.

The pattern forming device 2 is a device that forms a solder pattern on the surface of the substrate and fills the insertion holes of the substrate with solder. The reflow device 4 heats the substrate to a predetermined temperature to temporarily melt the solder on the substrate, thereby bonding the substrate and the electronic component in contact with the solder. That is, the reflow device 4 uses the patterned solder to bond the mounted electronic component mounted on the solder pattern formed on the surface of the substrate to the substrate, inserts the lead into the lead type electronic component and the lead insertion hole in the insertion hole, and uses Insert the solder filled in the hole for bonding.

The transfer devices 6 and 7 are devices for transferring substrates. The conveying device 6 carries the substrate processed and carried out by the pattern forming device 2 into the electronic component mounting device 10 . The transport device 7 carries the substrate processed and carried out by the electronic component mounting device 10 into the reflow processing device 4 .

The electronic component mounting apparatus 10 mounts electronic components on a board as described above. Here, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 can mount lead type electronic components as electronic components. In addition, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 may mount both lead-type electronic components and mount-type electronic components as electronic components. The installation system 1 has the above-mentioned structure.

FIG. 112 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the electronic component mounting system. In the mounting system 1, as step S960, solder is printed on the substrate. That is, in the mounting system 1 , as step S960 , a solder pattern is formed on the surface of the substrate by the patterning device, and the insertion hole is filled with solder. In the mounting system 1, after solder is printed on the substrate in step S960, the substrate is carried into the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 by the conveyance device 6, and as step S962, the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 is used to mount lead type electronic components on the substrate and mount them. type electronic components. In the mounting system 1, after mounting the electronic components on the substrate in step S962, the substrate mounted with the electronic components is carried into the reflow processing device 4 by the conveyance device 7, and the reflow processing is performed in step S964, and this process ends.

In the mounting system 1, as described above, by using the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 to mount the lead-type electronic components and the mount-type electronic components, the lead-type electronic components and the mount-type electronic components can be mounted with one reflow process. Both are fixed to the substrate. Thereby, in the installation system 1, the structure of a manufacturing line can be simplified.

In addition, by mounting the lead type electronic component and the mount type electronic component using the electronic component mounting apparatus 10 , as described above, the radial lead type electronic component can be mounted with the lead wires shortened. Thus, in the mounting system 1, even if the lead type electronic component and the mount type electronic component are mounted in the same process, and the lead type electronic component and the mount type electronic component are reflowed at the same time, the electronic component can be bonded appropriately. connected to the substrate. Thereby, the production efficiency of a board|substrate can be improved.

In addition, in the electronic component mounting system 1, the lead wire after insertion is temporarily fixed in the insertion hole via solder by prefilling or applying solder into the insertion hole. The component bending process of bending components on the back side of the board can shorten the lead wires, thereby eliminating the need for a lead bending device provided on the back side of the board in an existing dedicated mounting device for board insertion. In addition, support pins for supporting substrates used in conventional electronic component mounting devices (die mounters) can be arranged at arbitrary positions, and the substrates can be mounted and inserted into the insertion holes by the mounting head.

In addition, the mounting system of the electronic component mounting apparatus which has a preferable structure for making the mounting system 1 shown in FIG. 111, FIG. 112 obtain the said effect is not limited to this. For example, the mounting system may be configured to have a plurality of electronic component mounting apparatuses 10 . In addition, in the mounting system, the electronic component mounting device 10 may be used as a mounting device for mounting only lead-type electronic components. In addition, the electronic component mounting device 10 is a device capable of appropriately mounting lead type electronic components, but may also be used as a device for temporarily mounting only mountable electronic components.
