The indicator lamp 85 is turned on when the carrier tape 900 is inserted into a feeder 21 different from the feeder 21 instructed to supply parts by the parts supply instruction unit 200a of the control device 200, and notifies the operator. In FIG. 8, the tape peeling device 70 provided on the upper part of the feeder main body 21b is omitted.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a tape as a tape insertion detection unit that detects that the carrier tape 900 has been inserted into the tape insertion port 32a by the vertical movement of the upstream side pressing member 32 is provided at the rear portion of the plurality of feeders 21. The insertion detection sensor 90 is arranged closer to the tape insertion port 32a than the fourth sprocket 64.

When the feeder 21 is mounted in the slot 20a of the component supply unit 20, power is supplied from the main body side of the component mounting machine 100 to the feeder 21 side via the communication connector 80 (see FIG. 7), and the feeder ID and the like are supplied. The necessary information is transmitted from the feeder 21 side to the control device 200 of the component mounting machine 100. As a result, based on the serial ID of the feeder 21, information on the parts sent by the carrier tape 900 loaded in the feeder 21 is acquired and stored in the control device 200.

Next, the operation of the feeder 21 will be described. The operator inserts the carrier tape 900 into the tape insertion port 32a shown in FIG. Then, the fourth engaging projection 64a engages with the engaging hole 901b formed at the tip of the inserted carrier tape 900, and the carrier tape 900 is conveyed to the third sprocket 63 by the fourth sprocket 64. .. Since the fourth engaging protrusion 64a is formed only on a part of the outer circumference of the fourth sprocket 64, when the fourth engaging protrusion 64a engages with the engaging hole 901b of the carrier tape 900, the carrier tape 900 is released. It intermittently moves to the third sprocket 63 side. Therefore, the carrier tape 900 is not suddenly pulled into the third sprocket 63 side.

The tip of the carrier tape 900 conveyed by the fourth sprocket 64 penetrates below the pressing portion 33d from the invading portion 33b. Then, when the engaging hole 901b formed in the carrier tape 900 engages with the third engaging projection 63a, the carrier tape 900 is conveyed to the second sprocket 62 side by the third sprocket 63. Since the third engaging projection 63a is formed on the outer circumference of the third sprocket 63 over the entire circumference, the carrier tape 900 is conveyed to the second sprocket 62 side in a short time. The carrier tape 900 is pressed from above by the pressing portion 33d so that the engagement hole 901b and the third engagement projection 36a are not disengaged.

Further, the tip of the carrier tape 900 penetrates below the levitation prevention member 28 from between the guide portion 28b and the rail 38. The tip of the carrier tape 900 is restrained from being lifted from the rail 38 by the floating prevention member 28, and is conveyed toward the second sprocket 62.

When the second sensor 66 detects the tip of the carrier tape 900 conveyed by the third sprocket 63, the first motor 22 and the second motor 23 intermittently rotate the sprockets 61 to 64 at the pitch intervals of the parts. When the engaging hole 901b formed in the carrier tape 900 engages with the second engaging projection 62a, the carrier tape 900 is sent to the tape peeling device 70 by the second sprocket 62, and is covered from the carrier tape 900 by the tape peeling device 70. The tape 902 is peeled off. Then, when the engaging hole 901b formed in the carrier tape 900 engages with the first engaging projection 61a, the parts housed in the carrier tape 900 are sequentially positioned at the parts taking-out position 21a by the first sprocket 61.

When the first carrier tape 900A is conveyed by the feeder 21, as shown in FIG. 5, the first carrier tape 900A presses the contact portion 31a, and the stopper member 31 acts as an urging force for the spring 36. Against this, the stop portion 31c is swung in a direction close to the rail 38, and the rear lower end of the stopper member 31 comes into contact with the upper surface of the first carrier tape 900A.

Therefore, in that state, when the second carrier tape 900B is inserted between the upstream side pressing member 32 and the first carrier tape 900A from the tape insertion port 32a by the operator, as shown in FIG. 2 The tip of the carrier tape 900B comes into contact with the stop portion 31c of the stopper member 31. As a result, the transfer of the second carrier tape 900B to the downstream is prevented, and the second carrier tape 900B stands by at that position.

At this time, the first carrier tape 900A is wound around the front reel 810, and the second carrier tape 900B is wound around the rear reel 820.

When the rear end of the first carrier tape 900A is conveyed to the downstream side of the tip of the second carrier tape 900B, as shown in FIG. 6, the engaging hole 901b formed in the second carrier tape 900B is engaged in the fourth engagement. Engage with the joint projection 64a. Further, when the rear end of the first carrier tape 900A passes through the stopper member 31, the stopper member 31 is swung by the urging force of the spring 36, and the transfer prevention of the second carrier tape 900B is released.

As a result, the second carrier tape 900B penetrates below the pressing portion 33d from the invading portion 33b by the fourth sprocket 64. Then, the engaging hole 901b formed in the second carrier tape 900B is engaged with the third engaging projection 63a, and the second carrier tape 900B is conveyed toward the second sprocket 62 by the third sprocket 63.

When the tip of the second carrier tape 900B pushes up the contact portion 31a, the stopper member 31 swings again against the urging force of the spring 36 as described above, and the stopper member 31 causes a new carrier tape 900. Stop the invasion of.

When all the parts are taken out from the first carrier tape 900A, the used reel 810 is removed from the reel holding portion 50.

When the carrier tape 900 is newly inserted into the feeder 21, the reel 810 around which the carrier tape 900 (first carrier tape 900A) currently in use is wound and the carrier tape 900 (second carrier) to be newly inserted are inserted. The bar code affixed to the reel 810 on which the tape 900B) is wound is read by a bar code reader, and the serial IDs of the parts stored in each reel are transmitted to the control device 200 of the parts mounting machine 100, respectively, to be correct. A so-called verification is performed to check whether the tape is a carrier tape containing parts.

Next, in the flowchart of FIG. 9, the control device 200 executes a tape illegal insertion detection operation for detecting that the carrier tape 900 has been inserted into the incorrect feeder 21 with respect to the feeder 21 instructed to replenish parts. It will be explained based on.

When the parts replenishment instruction unit 200a of the control device 200 instructs the feeder 21 of the slot No. "NX" to replenish the parts (step S1), the operator uses the carrier tape containing the parts for which the replenishment is instructed. The reel 820 around which the 900 is wound is held by the reel holding portion 50, and the tip of the new carrier tape 900 (second carrier tape 900B) is placed on the first carrier tape 900A already inserted in the feeder 21. It is inserted from the tape insertion port 32a (step S2). When the second carrier tape 900B is inserted, the tape insertion detection sensor 90 is turned on, and it is detected that the carrier tape 900 has been inserted into the tape insertion port 32a.

The operation signal of the tape insertion detection sensor 90 is transmitted to the control device 200. Then, in the control device 200, it is determined whether or not the ON tape insertion detection sensor 90 belongs to the feeder 21 of the slot No. “NX” instructed by the component replenishment instruction unit 200a to replenish the components. (Step S3). If it is determined that the feeder 21 instructed to replenish the parts and the feeder 21 in which the tape insertion detection sensor 90 is turned on are different (when the determination result is NO), the slot No. "NX" is displayed. The indicator lamp 85 of the feeder 21 is turned on to notify the operator that the carrier tape 900 has been inserted into the wrong feeder 21 (step S4).

When the indicator lamp 85 is turned on, the operator pulls out the carrier tape 900 from the feeder 21 into which the carrier tape 900 is inserted by mistake and reinserts it into the feeder 21 of the slot No. “NX”.

Further, when it is determined that the feeder 21 instructed to replenish the parts and the feeder 21 in which the tape insertion detection sensor 90 is turned on are the same (when the determination result is YES), the indicator lamp 85 is set. It does not light up and notifies the operator that the carrier tape 900 has been correctly inserted into the feeder 21 (step S5). In this case, the operation of the component mounting machine 100 is continued.

As the indicator lamp 85 provided in each feeder 21, the indicator lamp 85 is turned on when the carrier tape 900 is inserted correctly, and the indicator lamp 85 is blinked when the carrier tape 900 is inserted incorrectly. Good. Alternatively, it can also be configured with two LEDs (eg, blue and red), in which case the blue LED will light up when the carrier tape 900 is inserted correctly and if inserted incorrectly. The red LED may be turned on.

According to the above embodiment, when the carrier tape 900 is inserted into the feeder 21 different from the feeder 21 instructed to replenish the parts, the indicator lamp 85 tells the operator that the carrier tape 900 is an erroneous feeder. Since it is notified that the parts have been inserted into 21, the operator who has replenished the parts can quickly take necessary measures.

As a result, it is possible to take measures such as replenishing parts when there is a margin in the remaining number of parts currently in use, and it is possible to minimize the influence on production.

Further, according to the above-described embodiment, since the indicator lamp 85 is provided on each of the plurality of feeders 21, the carrier tape 900 is inserted into the feeder 21 different from the feeder 21 instructed to replenish the parts. It is possible to accurately inform the operator of what has been done.
