ある。[0003] Some electronic components mounted on a printed board have not only the shape direction but also the front and back sides. For example, the component T (chip resistor) shown in FIG. 9 has a horizontally long rectangular shape in plan view, and a dimension L in the longitudinal direction is larger than a dimension W in the width direction. Further, there is a back surface m mainly composed of a resistor mounted on the printed board, and a front surface n on the opposite side. Therefore, in such a part T, it is necessary to align both the shape directionality and the front and back sides.

る。In general, a vibrating component supply device is composed of a mortar-shaped bowl and a vibrating mechanism for supporting and vibrating the bowl. Many parts randomly placed in the bowl,
Receiving the vibration from the bowl, it moves onto the transport path from the lower end entrance of the transport path spirally formed on the inner peripheral surface of the bowl. The part that has moved onto the transport path is corrected to a single-row single-layer while being transported toward the upper end exit of the transport path while receiving vibration, and its directionality (longitudinal direction) and front and back are corrected. .

ェクトされる。Conventionally, as a means for aligning the components T in the longitudinal direction, a direction alignment path having an inverted trapezoidal cross section is generally used. This direction alignment path has a flat bottom wall,
It consists of a pair of inclined walls extending obliquely upward from both sides of the bottom wall, and the width of the bottom wall is set slightly larger than the width dimension W of the component T and considerably smaller than the longitudinal dimension L of the component T. Therefore, the component T that has entered the direction alignment path in a horizontal state slides down on the bottom wall while being conveyed while receiving the vibration, and its direction is corrected so that its longitudinal direction is directed to the component conveyance direction of the direction alignment path. You. Lateral components that have not been reoriented in the directional alignment path are rejected into the bowl by any suitable means.

転移動させるものである。As a means for detecting the front and back of the component T, a reflection type optical sensor is generally used. That is, in the component T (chip resistor), the back surface m is a black surface with poor light reflectivity mainly composed of a resistor mounted on a printed board, and the front surface n is a white surface with good light reflectivity. By irradiating the upper surface of the component T with the detection light of the optical sensor and detecting the presence or absence and the amount of the reflected light by the optical sensor, the front and back nm can be determined. As described above, the means for aligning the component T with the front surface n or the rear surface m after detecting the front and back nm of the component T has been conventionally used.
There are known ones using a front and back alignment path provided with a groove or a step having a width corresponding to the thickness of the front and back, and using a front and back alignment path having a V-shaped cross section. The former uses the above-mentioned grooves and steps to make parts T
Is raised, and based on the result of detecting the front and back of the raised component T, the component T is selectively pressed from either the left or right side with a wiper, compressed air, or the like,
It rolls over in the required direction. In the latter, the component is conveyed in an inclined posture to one of a pair of inclined walls facing the V-shape of the front-back alignment path, and is oriented in a required direction based on the result of detecting the front and back of the component on the inclined wall. In this case, the component is passed as it is, and when the component is in the opposite direction, the component is pressed by compressed air or the like, and the component is turned upside down on the other inclined wall.

部品の供給効率の低下につながる。The directional alignment means using the directional alignment path having an inverted trapezoidal cross section has a problem that it lacks certainty when correcting the direction of the component. In particular, when the longitudinal dimension L of the component T is less than or equal to twice the width dimension W, the probability that the component T will pass through the direction alignment path in a horizontal state increases, and the number of components rejected into the bowl increases. This means
This leads to a reduction in the supply efficiency of parts.

合がある。Further, the front / back alignment means using the front / back alignment path having a V-shaped cross section has a simple structure and does not have a drawback that the parts are clogged in the front / back alignment path.
It is necessary to provide another merging flow path for merging the parts conveyed from both of the pair of inclined walls of the front and back alignment paths to form a single row, and the clogging of the parts may occur in this merging flow path. .

を特徴とする振動部品供給装置。1. A vibrating component which applies vibration to a horizontally long component having a front surface and a back surface, and aligns and transports the component in a single row and single layer in a predetermined transport direction in a state where the longitudinal direction of the component and the front and back are aligned. In the supply device, a bottom wall having a width for conveying the parts in a single row in the longitudinal direction thereof, and an inverted trapezoidal cross-section including inclined walls extending obliquely upward from both sides of the bottom wall, and inclined. On the wall,
A direction aligning portion having a concave portion with which one side end of the horizontal component can be engaged, and a downstream side of the direction aligning portion;
A front / back alignment path having a V-shaped cross section composed of a first inclined wall and a second inclined wall opposed to the shape, and first front / back detecting the front / back of a part conveyed along the first inclined wall of the front / back alignment path. Detection means, based on the detection result of the front and back detection means,
Pressing means for pressing the inclined lower end portion of the component on the first inclined wall along the inclination direction of the second inclined wall, and sliding the component on the second inclined wall; and the component sliding on the second inclined wall. Front and back aligning portion having a reversing means for pressing the component toward the first inclined wall and reversing the part on the first inclined wall, and an inverted trapezoidal cross section having a gradually changing cross section from the front and rear alignment path,
A posture conversion unit that gradually lays down the part conveyed in the inclined posture from the first inclined wall and converts it to a flat posture, and a second unit that detects front and back of the part conveyed in a flat posture from the posture conversion unit. A vibrating component supply device comprising: a front and back detection unit; and a component rejection unit having a rejection unit that presses a side portion of the component based on the detection result of the front and back detection unit to reject the component. .
