Description

本発明は、フィーダ挿着部に装着されたパーツフィーダが供給する部品を装着ヘッドにより吸着して基板に装着する部品実装装置、パーツフィーダ及び部品実装装置におけるパーツフィーダ引き抜き規制解除方法に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a component mounting apparatus that attaches a component supplied by a parts feeder mounted on a feeder insertion portion to a substrate by a mounting head, a parts feeder, and a method for canceling a part feeder withdrawal restriction in the component mounting apparatus. .

部品実装装置は、パーツフィーダ挿着部に着脱自在に挿着されるパーツフィーダによって部品の供給を行いつつ、パーツフィーダが供給する部品を装着ヘッドが備える吸着ノズルによって吸着して所定の位置に位置決めされた基板に装着する構成となっている。このような部品実装装置では、パーツフィーダをフィーダ挿着部に確実にロックするためのフィーダロック機構を備えており、その構成は、フィーダ挿着部にパーツフィーダの挿着方向と直交する方向に延びて配置された棒状の被係合部材と、パーツフィーダがフィーダ挿着部に挿着された状態で被係合部材に係合してパーツフィーダのフィーダ挿着部からの引き抜きを規制するフック状の可動係合部材から成る。このようなフィーダロック機構において、被係合部材に対する可動係合部材の係合を解除する場合にはレバー状の操作部材が操作され、この操作部材の操作に応じて可動係合部材が作動（揺動）して被係合部材に対する係合が解除されるようになっている。 The component mounting device supplies parts by means of a parts feeder that is detachably attached to the parts feeder insertion part, and adsorbs the parts supplied by the parts feeder by a suction nozzle provided in the mounting head and positions them at a predetermined position. It is configured to be mounted on the printed circuit board. Such a component mounting apparatus is provided with a feeder lock mechanism for securely locking the parts feeder to the feeder insertion portion, and the configuration thereof is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction of the parts feeder at the feeder insertion portion. A bar-shaped engaged member that is extended and a hook that engages the engaged member in a state where the parts feeder is inserted into the feeder insertion portion and regulates the withdrawal of the parts feeder from the feeder insertion portion. It consists of a movable engaging member of a shape. In such a feeder lock mechanism, when releasing the engagement of the movable engagement member with respect to the engaged member, a lever-like operation member is operated, and the movable engagement member is activated in accordance with the operation of the operation member ( And the engagement with the engaged member is released.

また、このような部品実装装置では、装着ヘッドによるパーツフィーダからの部品の吸着（取り出し）中にパーツフィーダがフィーダ挿着部から引き抜かれるとパーツフィーダと吸着ノズルが干渉してこれらの部材が破損に至るケースがあることから、オペレータがフィーダ挿着部からパーツフィーダを引き抜く操作を行ったときにこれがコネクタの離間状態から検知されるようにし、そのタイミングで吸着ノズルを緊急退避（上昇）させるようにして干渉を防ぐようにしている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。 Further, in such a component mounting apparatus, if the parts feeder is pulled out from the feeder insertion part while the component is being sucked (removed) from the parts feeder by the mounting head, the parts feeder and the suction nozzle interfere with each other and the members are damaged. Therefore, when the operator pulls out the parts feeder from the feeder insertion section, this is detected from the separated state of the connector, and the suction nozzle is evacuated (lifted) at that timing. Thus, interference is prevented (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

しかしながら、上記従来のものでは、吸着ノズルを緊急退避させる指令信号が出力されるのはパーツフィーダがフィーダ挿着部から引き抜かれるときであるので、吸着ノズルの下降動作中に緊急退避指令がなされたような場合には吸着ノズルが緊急退避を行う前にパーツフィーダが引き抜かれてしまい、パーツフィーダと吸着ノズルが干渉してしまうおそれがあるという問題点があった。 However, in the above-mentioned conventional one, since the command signal for urgently retracting the suction nozzle is output when the parts feeder is pulled out from the feeder insertion portion, an emergency evacuation command was issued during the lowering operation of the suction nozzle. In such a case, there is a problem that the parts feeder is pulled out before the suction nozzle performs emergency evacuation, and the parts feeder and the suction nozzle may interfere with each other.

An upper swing shaft 42 attached to the main body 31 is provided so as to be swingable in the vertical direction. At the rear end of the operation member 41, a first connection pin 44 is fixed to the operation member 41 at the upper end of a rod-shaped connection member 43 provided so as to extend in the vertical direction outside one side surface of the feeder body 31. It is connected by. A hook-like movable engagement member 46 whose rear end portion is supported by a lower swing shaft 45 attached to the feeder body 31 is provided at a position below the feeder body 31 and below the operation member 41. The lower end of the connecting member 43 is connected to the front end of the movable engaging member 46 by a second connecting pin 47.

操作部材４１はその後端部をフィーダ本体３１の上面に上方から当接させた第１の位置（図３及び図４（ａ）に示す位置）と、上部揺動軸４２回りに揺動した場合に、連結部材４３の前面側の側面の一部が、フィーダ本体３１における連結部材４３の前方部分に形成された当接面３１ｃに後方から当接してそれ以上の揺動が制限される第２の位置（図４（ｃ））との間で揺動自在であり、操作部材４１の把持部４１ａを上下方向に操作して操作部材４１を上部揺動軸４２回りに第１の位置から第２の位置に揺動させると、連結部材４３を介して可動係合部材４６が下部揺動軸４５回りに揺動し、前方下げのロック位置（図４（ａ）及び図４（ｂ））から前方上げのロック解除位置（図４（ｃ））に位置を変化させる。 When the operation member 41 swings around the upper swing shaft 42 at the first position (the position shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4A) whose rear end is in contact with the upper surface of the feeder body 31 from above. Further, a part of the side surface on the front side of the connecting member 43 comes into contact with the contact surface 31c formed at the front portion of the connecting member 43 in the feeder main body 31 from the rear side, and further swinging is restricted. 4 (c), and the gripping portion 41a of the operating member 41 is operated in the vertical direction to move the operating member 41 around the upper swinging shaft 42 from the first position. When it is swung to position 2, the movable engaging member 46 is swung around the lower swinging shaft 45 via the connecting member 43, and the front lowering lock position (FIGS. 4A and 4B). The position is changed from the position to the unlock position (FIG. 4 (c)) that is lifted forward.

ここで、図４（ａ），（ｂ），（ｃ）に示すように、連結部材４３の上端部には上下方向に延びた長穴状の溝部４３ａが設けられており、操作部材４１に固定された上記第１連結ピン４４は溝部４３ａ内に位置している。このため操作部材４１が第１の位置にあり、可動係合部材４６がロック位置にある状態から（図４（ａ））、把持部４１ａを上動させると（図４（ｂ）中に示す矢印Ａ）、操作部材４１は上部揺動軸４２回りに揺動するものの、第１連結ピン４４は連結部材４３の溝部４３ａ内を上方に移動するのみで可動係合部材４６は下部揺動軸４５回りに揺動せず、したがって操作部材４１が第１の位置から第１連結ピン４４が溝部４３ａの上端部に当接する位置（この位置を操作部材４１の「中間位置」と称する。図４（ｂ））へ移動する間は、可動係合部材４６はロック位置を維持する。 Here, as shown in FIGS. 4A, 4 </ b> B, and 4 </ b> C, the upper end portion of the connecting member 43 is provided with an elongated hole-like groove portion 43 a extending in the vertical direction. The fixed first connecting pin 44 is located in the groove 43a. For this reason, when the operating member 41 is in the first position and the movable engaging member 46 is in the locked position (FIG. 4A), the gripper 41a is moved up (shown in FIG. 4B). Arrow A), although the operating member 41 swings around the upper swing shaft 42, the first connecting pin 44 only moves upward in the groove 43a of the connecting member 43, and the movable engagement member 46 moves to the lower swing shaft. Therefore, the operation member 41 does not swing around 45, and the position where the first connecting pin 44 comes into contact with the upper end of the groove 43a from the first position (this position is referred to as the “intermediate position” of the operation member 41). During the movement to (b)), the movable engagement member 46 maintains the locked position.

そして、操作部材４１が中間位置から更に第２の位置側に向けて揺動されると、第１連結ピン４４は連結部材４３の溝部４３ａの上端に当接した状態で上動するので連結部材４３を介して可動係合部材４６が下部揺動軸４５回りに揺動し、操作部材４１が第２の位置に達したところでロック解除位置に位置する（図４（ｃ））。 When the operation member 41 is further swung from the intermediate position toward the second position side, the first connection pin 44 moves upward while being in contact with the upper end of the groove 43a of the connection member 43. The movable engagement member 46 swings around the lower swing shaft 45 via 43, and when the operation member 41 reaches the second position, it is positioned at the lock release position (FIG. 4C).

また、図４（ａ），（ｂ），（ｃ）に示すように、フィーダ本体３１の連結部材４３が配置される側の側面であって、操作部材４１の下方の位置には操作部材位置検出器４８が設けられている。この操作部材位置検出器４８は図示しないばね部材によって常時上方へ突出する方向へ付勢された操作片４８ａを有しており、操作部材位置検出器４８の操作片４８ａは、操作部材４１が第１の位置に位置しているときには操作部材４１によって押圧されて完全没入状態（完全に下方に押し込まれた状態）となるが（図４（ａ））、操作部材４１が中間位置に位置しているとき及びこの中間位置から更に第２の位置側に揺動した位置（操作部材４１から操作片４８ａが離間している位置）に位置しているときでは完全突出状態（全く押し込まれていない状態）となるようになっている（図４（ｂ））。そして、操作部材位置検出器４８は、完全突出状態以外では内部接点を閉じて信号を出力するが、完全突出状態では内部接点を開いて信号を出力しないようになっている。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 4A, 4B, and 4C, the operation member position is located on the side surface of the feeder main body 31 on the side where the connecting member 43 is disposed, and below the operation member 41. A detector 48 is provided. The operation member position detector 48 has an operation piece 48a that is always urged upward by a spring member (not shown). The operation member 48a of the operation member position detector 48 has a first operation member 41. When it is located at position 1, it is pressed by the operating member 41 to be in a completely immersed state (completely pushed downward) (FIG. 4A), but the operating member 41 is positioned at the intermediate position. And when it is located at a position that is further swung from the intermediate position to the second position side (position where the operation piece 48a is separated from the operation member 41). (Fig. 4 (b)). The operation member position detector 48 closes the internal contact and outputs a signal in a state other than the fully projecting state, but does not output a signal by opening the internal contact in the fully projecting state.

すなわち操作部材位置検出器４８は、第１の位置から第２の位置に向けて操作された操作部材４１が第２の位置に達する前の所定の中間位置に達した状態を検出する操作部材位置検出手段となっている。 That is, the operation member position detector 48 detects the state where the operation member 41 operated from the first position toward the second position has reached the predetermined intermediate position before reaching the second position. It is a detection means.

このような構成のパーツフィーダ１３をフィーダ挿着部１２に挿着するときには、部品実装装置１のオペレータＯＰ（図１）は、操作部材４１が第２の位置に位置し、可動係合部材４６がロック解除位置にある状態のパーツフィーダ１３の下面の連結部３１ａをフィーダ挿着部１２のスロット１２ａにフィーダ挿着部１２の後方から挿入させる（図５（ａ））。そして、フィーダ挿着部１２に対してパーツフィーダ１３を前方へスライドさせ（図５（ｂ）中に示す矢印Ｂ）、フィーダ本体３１に設けられた前述の突起３１ｂがフィーダ挿着部１２に設けられた前述の突起当接部１２ｂに後方から当接するまでパーツフィーダ１３を押し込む（図５（ｂ））。 When the parts feeder 13 having such a configuration is inserted into the feeder insertion portion 12, the operator OP (FIG. 1) of the component mounting apparatus 1 has the operation member 41 positioned at the second position and the movable engagement member 46. The connecting part 31a on the lower surface of the parts feeder 13 in a state where the part is in the unlocking position is inserted into the slot 12a of the feeder inserting part 12 from the rear of the feeder inserting part 12 (FIG. 5A). Then, the parts feeder 13 is slid forward with respect to the feeder insertion portion 12 (arrow B shown in FIG. 5B), and the above-described protrusion 31b provided on the feeder main body 31 is provided on the feeder insertion portion 12. The parts feeder 13 is pushed in until it comes into contact with the above-described protrusion contact portion 12b from the rear (FIG. 5B).

図１及び図２に示すように、フィーダ挿着部１２の後方には棒状の被係合部材１２ｃがＸ軸方向に延びて設けられており、突起３１ｂが突起当接部１２ｂに当接した後、パーツフィーダ１３の操作部材４１を第２の位置から第１の位置に揺動させて（図５（ｃ）中に示す矢印Ｃ）、可動係合部材４６をロック位置まで揺動させると、可動係合部材４６が被係合部材１２ｃに上方から係合して、パーツフィーダ１３がフィーダ挿着部１２にロックされた状態となる（図５（ｃ））。なお、可動係合部材４６がロック解除位置から揺動を開始した後、ロック位置に至る前であっても、パーツフィーダ１３はフィーダ挿着部１２から引き抜くことが禁止された状態になる。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a rod-like engaged member 12c is provided behind the feeder insertion portion 12 so as to extend in the X-axis direction, and the protrusion 31b is in contact with the protrusion contact portion 12b. Thereafter, when the operation member 41 of the parts feeder 13 is swung from the second position to the first position (arrow C shown in FIG. 5C), the movable engagement member 46 is swung to the lock position. The movable engaging member 46 engages with the engaged member 12c from above, and the parts feeder 13 is locked to the feeder insertion portion 12 (FIG. 5C). Note that even after the movable engagement member 46 starts swinging from the unlocked position and before reaching the locked position, the parts feeder 13 is prohibited from being pulled out of the feeder insertion portion 12.

図６において、基板２の搬送及び位置決め動作は部品実装装置１に備えられた制御装置４０が基板搬送コンベア１１の作動制御を行うことによってなされ、各パーツフィーダ１３におけるテープ部材２１の搬送動作（部品供給口１３ａへの部品４の供給動作）は、制御装置４０が各パーツフィーダ１３に備えられた前述のスプロケット駆動モータ３５ｍによりスプロケット３５を回転作動させることによってなされる。各パーツフィーダ１３はフィーダ挿着部１２に挿着されることによって制御装置４０と電気的に接続され、制御装置４０によるスプロケット駆動モータ３５ｍ等の作動制御及び操作部材位置検出器４８からの信号の出力が可能となる。 In FIG. 6, the substrate 2 is transported and positioned by the control device 40 provided in the component mounting apparatus 1 performing operation control of the substrate transport conveyor 11, and the transport operation (components) of the tape member 21 in each parts feeder 13. The operation of supplying the component 4 to the supply port 13a) is performed by causing the control device 40 to rotate the sprocket 35 by the aforementioned sprocket drive motor 35m provided in each part feeder 13. Each parts feeder 13 is electrically connected to the control device 40 by being inserted into the feeder insertion portion 12, and controls the operation of the sprocket drive motor 35 m and the like by the control device 40 and the signal from the operation member position detector 48. Output is possible.

装着ヘッド１５の水平面内での移動動作は、制御装置４０がヘッド移動機構１４の作動制御（Ｙ軸テーブル１４ａに対するＸ軸テーブル１４ｂの移動制御及びＸ軸テーブル１４ｂに対する移動ステージ１４ｃの移動の制御）を行うことによってなされる（図６）。装着ヘッド１５に対する各吸着ノズル１６の上下方向への移動と上下軸回りの回転は、制御装置４０が装着ヘッド１５内に設けられたノズル駆動機構１６Ａ（図６）の作動制御を行うことによってなされ、各吸着ノズル１６による部品４の吸着及びその解除動作は、制御装置４０が吸着動作機構１６Ｂ（図６）の作動制御を行うことによってなされる。 As for the movement operation of the mounting head 15 in the horizontal plane, the control device 40 controls the operation of the head movement mechanism 14 (movement control of the X-axis table 14b with respect to the Y-axis table 14a and control of movement of the movement stage 14c with respect to the X-axis table 14b). (FIG. 6). The suction nozzle 16 is moved in the vertical direction with respect to the mounting head 15 and rotated around the vertical axis by the control device 40 controlling the operation of the nozzle drive mechanism 16A (FIG. 6) provided in the mounting head 15. The suction of the component 4 by each suction nozzle 16 and the releasing operation thereof are performed by the control device 40 performing operation control of the suction operation mechanism 16B (FIG. 6).

図６において、基板カメラ１７による撮像動作の制御と部品カメラ１８による撮像動作の制御は制御装置４０によってなされる。基板カメラ１７の撮像動作によって得られた画像データと部品カメラ１８の撮像動作によって得られた画像データは制御装置４０に入力され、制御装置４０が備える画像認識部４０ａにおいて画像認識処理がなされる。 In FIG. 6, the control of the imaging operation by the substrate camera 17 and the imaging operation by the component camera 18 are performed by the control device 40. The image data obtained by the imaging operation of the substrate camera 17 and the image data obtained by the imaging operation of the component camera 18 are input to the control device 40, and image recognition processing is performed in the image recognition unit 40a included in the control device 40.

制御装置４０のノズル動作規制部４０ｂ（図６）は、操作部材位置検出器４８から得られる情報（操作部材４１が中間位置に達した状態の検出情報）に基づいて、装着ヘッド１５における吸着ノズル１６の動作規制を行う。具体的には、操作部材位置検出器４８が信号の出力を停止しているパーツフィーダ１３がある場合には、その信号出力を停止しているパーツフィーダ１３はフィーダ挿着部１２から引き抜かれようとしているものであるとして、そのパーツフィーダ１３から部品４を取り出す吸着ノズル１６の動作を規制する。 The nozzle operation restricting section 40b (FIG. 6) of the control device 40 is configured so that the suction nozzle in the mounting head 15 is based on information obtained from the operation member position detector 48 (detection information when the operation member 41 has reached the intermediate position). 16 operation restrictions are performed. Specifically, when there is a parts feeder 13 for which the operation member position detector 48 has stopped outputting signals, the parts feeder 13 that has stopped outputting signals will be pulled out from the feeder insertion portion 12. The operation of the suction nozzle 16 that takes out the component 4 from the parts feeder 13 is regulated.

このような構成の部品実装装置１により、基板２上の電極部３に部品４を装着する部品実装作業を行う場合には、制御装置４０は先ず、基板搬送コンベア１１を作動させ、部品実装装置１の上流工程側の装置から送られてきた基板２を受け取って部品実装装置１の内部に搬入し、所定の作業位置に位置決めする（図７に示すステップＳＴ１）。 When performing the component mounting operation for mounting the component 4 on the electrode section 3 on the substrate 2 by the component mounting apparatus 1 having such a configuration, the control device 40 first operates the substrate transport conveyor 11 to perform the component mounting apparatus. The board 2 sent from the apparatus on the upstream process side 1 is received, carried into the component mounting apparatus 1, and positioned at a predetermined work position (step ST1 shown in FIG. 7).

制御装置４０は、基板２の搬入及び位置決めを行ったら、装着ヘッド１５を移動させて基板カメラ１７を基板２の上方に移動させ、基板カメラ１７に基板２上の一対の基板マーク２ｍ（図１）の撮像を行わせて画像認識部４０ａにおいて画像認識する。そして、得られた一対の基板マーク２ｍの位置を予め設定された基準の位置と比較することによって、基板２の基準の位置からの位置ずれを算出する（ステップＳＴ２）。 After carrying in and positioning the substrate 2, the control device 40 moves the mounting head 15 to move the substrate camera 17 above the substrate 2, and causes the substrate camera 17 to make a pair of substrate marks 2 m on the substrate 2 (FIG. 1). The image recognition unit 40a recognizes the image. Then, the positional deviation of the substrate 2 from the reference position is calculated by comparing the position of the obtained pair of substrate marks 2m with a preset reference position (step ST2).

制御装置４０は、基板２の基準の位置からの位置ずれを算出したら、パーツフィーダ１３の作動制御を行ってそのパーツフィーダ１３の部品供給口１３ａに部品４を供給しつつ、装着ヘッド１５をパーツフィーダ１３の上方に位置させたうえで、パーツフィーダ１３の部品供給口１３ａに供給された部品４を吸着する（ステップＳＴ３）。 After calculating the positional deviation from the reference position of the substrate 2, the control device 40 controls the operation of the parts feeder 13 and supplies the parts 4 to the parts supply port 13 a of the parts feeder 13, while moving the mounting head 15 to the parts. After being positioned above the feeder 13, the component 4 supplied to the component supply port 13a of the parts feeder 13 is sucked (step ST3).

制御装置４０は、吸着ノズル１６により部品４を吸着したら、その部品４が部品カメラ１８の上方を通過するように装着ヘッド１５を移動させ、部品カメラ１８に部品４を撮像させて画像認識部４０ａにおいて画像認識を行う（ステップＳＴ４）。この画像認識の際には、制御装置４０は、部品４の吸着ノズル１６に対する位置ずれ（吸着ずれ）を算出する。 When the component 4 is sucked by the suction nozzle 16, the control device 40 moves the mounting head 15 so that the component 4 passes above the component camera 18, and causes the component camera 18 to pick up the component 4 and image recognition unit 40 a. In step ST4, image recognition is performed. At the time of this image recognition, the control device 40 calculates a positional shift (suction shift) of the component 4 with respect to the suction nozzle 16.

制御装置４０は、部品４の画像認識を行ったら、装着ヘッド１５を基板２の上方に位置させ、吸着ノズル１６により吸着した部品４を基板２上の電極部３に接触させたうえで吸着ノズル１６による部品４の吸着を解除し、部品４を基板２に装着する（ステップＳＴ５）。この部品装着工程では、制御装置４０は、ステップＳＴ２で求めた基板２の位置ずれと、ステップＳＴ４で求めた部品４の吸着ずれが修正されるように、基板２に対する吸着ノズル１６の位置補正（回転補正を含む）を行う。このように装着ヘッド１５は、パーツフィーダ１３が供給する部品４を吸着ノズル１６により吸着して基板２に装着するものとなっている。 When the controller 40 recognizes the image of the component 4, the mounting head 15 is positioned above the substrate 2, the component 4 sucked by the suction nozzle 16 is brought into contact with the electrode portion 3 on the substrate 2, and then the suction nozzle The suction of the component 4 by 16 is released, and the component 4 is mounted on the substrate 2 (step ST5). In this component mounting process, the control device 40 corrects the position of the suction nozzle 16 relative to the substrate 2 so that the positional deviation of the substrate 2 obtained in step ST2 and the suction deviation of the component 4 obtained in step ST4 are corrected. (Including rotation correction). In this way, the mounting head 15 is configured to mount the component 4 supplied by the parts feeder 13 on the substrate 2 by sucking the component 4 by the suction nozzle 16.

制御装置４０は、基板２に対する部品４の装着を行ったら、基板２に装着すべき全ての部品４の装着が終了したか否かの判断を行う（ステップＳＴ６）。そして、基板２に装着すべき全ての部品４の装着が終了していなかったときにはステップＳＴ３に戻って吸着ノズル１６による次の部品４のピックアップを行い、基板２に装着すべき全ての部品４の装着が終了していたときには、基板搬送コンベア１１を作動させて基板２を部品実装装置１から搬出し（ステップＳＴ７）、基板２の１枚当たりの部品実装作業を終了する。 After mounting the components 4 on the board 2, the control device 40 determines whether or not all the components 4 to be mounted on the board 2 have been mounted (step ST6). If the mounting of all the components 4 to be mounted on the substrate 2 has not been completed, the process returns to step ST3 to pick up the next component 4 by the suction nozzle 16, and all the components 4 to be mounted on the substrate 2 are picked up. When the mounting has been completed, the substrate carrying conveyor 11 is operated to carry out the substrate 2 from the component mounting apparatus 1 (step ST7), and the component mounting operation for one substrate 2 is completed.

上記の手順による部品実装作業が実行されているときに、装着ヘッド１５に供給する部品４の種類を交換等するためにパーツフィーダ１３をフィーダ挿着部１２から引き抜く必要が生じた場合には、オペレータＯＰは、引き抜こうとしているパーツフィーダ１３の可動係合部材４６の被係合部材１２ｃに対する係合を解除するため、第１の位置に位置した状態となっている操作部材４１の把持部４１ａを上動させて、操作部材４１を第２の位置に向けて揺動させる。このとき、操作部材４１が中間位置に達するまでは第１連結ピン４４が連結部材４３の溝部４３ａ内を上動するだけであるので可動係合部材４６は揺動せず、ロック位置に位置した状態を維持するが（図４（ａ）→図４（ｂ））、操作部材４１が中間位置に達したところで操作部材位置検出器４８からの信号出力が停止されるので、この信号出力停止を受けた制御装置４０のノズル動作規制部４０ｂによって、そのパーツフィーダ１３から部品４を取り出そうとする吸着ノズル１６の動作が規制される（ノズル動作規制工程）。そして、操作部材４１が中間位置を超えて第２の位置まで揺動されると、その揺動操作に応じて連結部材４３が可動係合部材４６の前端部を上方に引き上げるので、可動係合部材４６はロック解除位置に位置するように揺動して（図４（ｂ）→図４（ｃ））、可動係合部材４６の被係合部材１２ｃに対するロックが解除される（係合解除工程）。なお、可動係合部材４６がロック位置から揺動を開始した後、ロック解除位置に至る前であっても、パーツフィーダ１３はフィーダ挿着部１２から引き抜くことが禁止された状態が維持される。 When it is necessary to pull out the parts feeder 13 from the feeder insertion part 12 in order to exchange the type of the parts 4 to be supplied to the mounting head 15 when the component mounting operation according to the above procedure is being performed, The operator OP releases the engagement of the movable engagement member 46 of the parts feeder 13 that is about to be pulled out with respect to the engaged member 12c, so that the gripping portion 41a of the operation member 41 that is positioned at the first position. To move the operation member 41 toward the second position. At this time, until the operating member 41 reaches the intermediate position, the first connecting pin 44 only moves up in the groove 43a of the connecting member 43, so the movable engaging member 46 does not swing and is positioned at the locked position. Although the state is maintained (FIG. 4 (a) → FIG. 4 (b)), the signal output from the operation member position detector 48 is stopped when the operation member 41 reaches the intermediate position. The operation of the suction nozzle 16 that tries to take out the component 4 from the parts feeder 13 is regulated by the nozzle operation regulating unit 40b of the received control device 40 (nozzle operation regulating step). When the operating member 41 is swung to the second position beyond the intermediate position, the connecting member 43 pulls up the front end portion of the movable engaging member 46 in accordance with the swinging operation. The member 46 swings so as to be located at the unlocking position (FIG. 4 (b) → FIG. 4 (c)), and the lock of the movable engaging member 46 with respect to the engaged member 12c is released (engagement release). Process). Even after the movable engagement member 46 starts swinging from the lock position and before reaching the lock release position, the state in which the parts feeder 13 is prohibited from being pulled out from the feeder insertion portion 12 is maintained. .

可動係合部材４６の被係合部材１２ｃに対するロックが解除されたら、オペレータＯＰは、パーツフィーダ１３をフィーダ挿着部１２から引き抜くことが可能となる。 When the lock of the movable engagement member 46 with respect to the engaged member 12c is released, the operator OP can pull out the parts feeder 13 from the feeder insertion portion 12.

すなわち、本第１実施形態の部品実装装置１におけるパーツフィーダ引き抜き規制解除方法では、第１の位置から第２の位置に向けて操作された操作部材４１が第２の位置に達する前の所定の中間位置に達した状態を検出して装着ヘッド１５における吸着ノズル１６の動作規制を行うノズル動作規制工程と、装着ヘッド１５における吸着ノズル１６の動作規制を行った後、操作部材４１が第２の位置に達した状態で可動係合部材４６を被係合部材１２ｃに対する解除位置に位置させる係合解除工程が実行される。 That is, in the part feeder pull-out restriction release method in the component mounting apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment, the operation member 41 operated from the first position toward the second position has a predetermined value before reaching the second position. After detecting the state of reaching the intermediate position and restricting the operation of the suction nozzle 16 in the mounting head 15, and after restricting the operation of the suction nozzle 16 in the mounting head 15, the operation member 41 is moved to the second position. An engagement releasing step is performed in which the movable engagement member 46 is positioned at the release position with respect to the engaged member 12c in the state where the position is reached.

ここで、可動係合部材４６は、パーツフィーダ１３がフィーダ挿着部１２に挿着された状態でフィーダ挿着部１２に設けられた被係合部材１２ｃに係合してパーツフィーダ１３のフィーダ挿着部１２からの引き抜きを規制するものとなっており、操作部材４１は、被係合部材１２ｃに対する可動係合部材４６の係合を解除する場合に第１の位置から中間位置を経て第２の位置へ操作されるものとなっている。また、連結部材４３は、操作部材４１と可動係合部材４６を連結し、操作部材４１の操作に応じて可動係合部材４６を作動（ここでは揺動）させることによって、操作部材４１が第２の位置に達した状態で可動係合部材４６を被係合部材１２ｃに対する解除位置に位置させるものとなっている。 Here, the movable engaging member 46 is engaged with the engaged member 12c provided in the feeder insertion portion 12 in a state where the parts feeder 13 is inserted into the feeder insertion portion 12, and the feeder of the parts feeder 13 is engaged. Pulling out from the insertion portion 12 is restricted, and when the operation member 41 releases the engagement of the movable engagement member 46 with respect to the engaged member 12c, the operation member 41 passes through the intermediate position from the first position. 2 is operated. The connecting member 43 connects the operation member 41 and the movable engagement member 46 and operates (in this case, swings) the movable engagement member 46 in accordance with the operation of the operation member 41, so that the operation member 41 becomes the first member. The movable engagement member 46 is positioned at the release position with respect to the engaged member 12c in the state where the position 2 is reached.

このように、本第１実施形態における部品実装装置１、パーツフィーダ１３及び部品実装装置１におけるパーツフィーダ引き抜き規制解除方法では、操作部材４１を第１の位置から第２の位置に向けて操作して可動係合部材４６による被係合部材１２ｃに対する係合（ロック）を解除する一方、被係合部材１２ｃに対する係合が解除されたパーツフィーダ１３あるときにはそのパーツフィーダ１３からの部品４の吸着を禁止するものであるが、第１の位置から第２の位置に向けて操作された操作部材４１が第２の位置に達する前の所定の中間位置に達した状態を検出して装着ヘッド１５における吸着ノズル１６の動作規制を行い、その後、更に、操作部材４１が第２の位置まで操作されたとき、被係合部材１２ｃに対する可動係合部材４６の係合が解除されて、フィーダ挿着部１２からのパーツフィーダ１３の引き抜きが可能になるようになっている。すなわち、フィーダ挿着部１２からのパーツフィーダ１３の引き抜きが可能になったときには既に装着ヘッド１５における吸着ノズル１６の動作規制が完了しているので、パーツフィーダ１３の引き抜きに際してパーツフィーダ１３と吸着ノズル１６が干渉するおそれがなく、これらの部材の干渉による破損を未然に防ぐことができる。 As described above, in the component mounting apparatus 1, the part feeder 13 and the part feeder extraction restriction releasing method in the component mounting apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment, the operation member 41 is operated from the first position toward the second position. When the part feeder 13 is released from the engagement with the engaged member 12c while the engagement (lock) with respect to the engaged member 12c is released by the movable engaging member 46, the component 4 is adsorbed from the part feeder 13 The mounting head 15 is detected by detecting a state in which the operation member 41 operated from the first position toward the second position has reached a predetermined intermediate position before reaching the second position. When the operation member 41 is further operated to the second position, the movable engagement member 46 with respect to the engaged member 12c is controlled. If it is released, so that the it is possible to pull out the parts feeder 13 from the feeder insertion portion 12. That is, when the part feeder 13 can be pulled out from the feeder insertion portion 12, the operation restriction of the suction nozzle 16 in the mounting head 15 is already completed. Therefore, when the parts feeder 13 is pulled out, the parts feeder 13 and the suction nozzle There is no possibility that 16 interferes, and damage due to interference of these members can be prevented in advance.

（第２実施形態）
次に、図８を参照して本発明の第２実施形態について説明する。第２実施形態における部品実装装置は前述の第１実施形態における部品実装装置１とほぼ同じであるが、第２実施形態におけるパーツフィーダ１３の連結部材４３は第１実施形態のような溝部４３ａを有しておらず、操作部材４１に取り付けられた第１連結ピン４４は連結部材４３の上端部に直接結合（枢結）されている。そして、操作部材４１の後端部の下方の位置には第１実施形態の場合と同様に操作部材位置検出器４８が設けられている。 (Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The component mounting apparatus in the second embodiment is substantially the same as the component mounting apparatus 1 in the first embodiment described above, but the connecting member 43 of the parts feeder 13 in the second embodiment has a groove 43a as in the first embodiment. The first connection pin 44 that is not provided and is attached to the operation member 41 is directly coupled (pivoted) to the upper end portion of the connection member 43. And the operation member position detector 48 is provided in the position below the rear-end part of the operation member 41 similarly to the case of 1st Embodiment.

図８（ａ），（ｂ），（ｃ）に示すように、第２実施形態においても、操作部材位置検出器４８は、操作部材４１が第１の位置に位置しているときには操作部材４１によって押圧されて完全没入状態となるが（図８（ａ））、操作部材４１が第１の位置と第２の位置の間の任意の位置として定めた所定の中間位置に位置しているとき及びこの中間位置から更に第２の位置側に揺動した位置（操作部材４１から操作片４８ａが離間している位置）に位置しているときでは完全突出状態となるようになっている（図８（ｂ））。そして、第１実施形態の場合と同様に、操作部材位置検出器４８は、完全突出状態以外では内部接点を閉じて信号を出力するが、完全突出状態では内部接点を開いて信号を出力しないようになっている。 As shown in FIGS. 8A, 8 </ b> B, and 8 </ b> C, also in the second embodiment, the operation member position detector 48 operates the operation member 41 when the operation member 41 is located at the first position. When the operation member 41 is positioned at a predetermined intermediate position determined as an arbitrary position between the first position and the second position, the pressure is pressed by the position (FIG. 8A). And when it is located at a position further swung from the intermediate position to the second position side (position where the operation piece 48a is separated from the operation member 41), it is in a fully projecting state (see FIG. 8 (b)). As in the case of the first embodiment, the operation member position detector 48 outputs a signal by closing the internal contact except in the fully projecting state, but does not output the signal by opening the internal contact in the fully projecting state. It has become.

なお、この第２実施形態では、操作部材４１の変位に応じて可動係合部材４６も変位するものの、操作部材４１が中間位置にある場合には、操作部材４１の揺動支点である上部揺動軸４２からのレバー比により、可動係合部材４６はロック解除可能なまでの変位をしないため、操作部材４１が中間位置に位置したことを検出した時点でロックが解除されることはない。 In the second embodiment, the movable engagement member 46 is also displaced in accordance with the displacement of the operation member 41. However, when the operation member 41 is in the intermediate position, the upper rocking which is the swing fulcrum of the operation member 41 is used. Due to the lever ratio from the moving shaft 42, the movable engagement member 46 is not displaced until it can be unlocked. Therefore, the lock is not released when it is detected that the operation member 41 is positioned at the intermediate position.

このように、第２実施形態でも、操作部材位置検出器４８は、第１の位置（図８（ａ））から第２の位置（図８（ｃ））に向けて操作された操作部材４１が第２の位置に達する前の所定の中間位置に達した状態（図８（ｂ））を検出するものとなっており、可動係合部材４６は、第１の位置から第２の位置に向けて操作された操作部材４１が第２の位置に達してはじめて被係合部材１２ｃに対する係合を解除するようになっている（図８（ｃ））。したがって、第１実施形態の場合と同様に、第１の位置から第２の位置に向けて操作された操作部材４１が第２の位置に達する前の所定の中間位置に達した状態を検出して装着ヘッド１５における吸着ノズル１６の動作規制を行い、その後、更に、操作部材４１が第２の位置まで操作されたとき、被係合部材１２ｃに対する可動係合部材４６の係合が解除されて、フィーダ挿着部１２からのパーツフィーダ１３の引き抜きが可能となり、第１実施形態の場合と同様の効果を得ることができる。 Thus, also in the second embodiment, the operation member position detector 48 is operated from the first position (FIG. 8A) to the second position (FIG. 8C). Is detected to reach a predetermined intermediate position before reaching the second position (FIG. 8B), and the movable engagement member 46 is moved from the first position to the second position. The engagement with the engaged member 12c is released only when the operation member 41 operated toward the second position reaches the second position (FIG. 8C). Accordingly, as in the case of the first embodiment, the state in which the operation member 41 operated from the first position toward the second position reaches the predetermined intermediate position before reaching the second position is detected. Then, the operation of the suction nozzle 16 in the mounting head 15 is regulated, and when the operation member 41 is further operated to the second position, the engagement of the movable engagement member 46 with the engaged member 12c is released. The part feeder 13 can be pulled out from the feeder insertion portion 12, and the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained.

これまで本発明の実施の形態を説明してきたが、本発明の範囲は上述してものに限定されない。例えば、上述の実施の形態では、パーツフィーダ１３の例としてテープフィーダを示したが、パーツフィーダ１３はフィーダ挿着部１２に着脱自在に挿着されて部品４の供給を行うものであればよく、必ずしもテープフィーダでなくてもよい（例えば、バルクフィーダ等であってもよい）。 Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described so far, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above. For example, in the above-described embodiment, a tape feeder is shown as an example of the parts feeder 13. However, the parts feeder 13 only needs to be detachably attached to the feeder insertion portion 12 to supply the component 4. It is not always necessary to use a tape feeder (for example, a bulk feeder or the like).

また、上述の実施の形態では、可動係合部材がパーツフィーダ１３側に設けられ、被係合部材がフィーダ挿着部１２側に設けられた構成となっていたが、可動係合部材がフィーダ挿着部１２側に設けられ、被係合部材がパーツフィーダ１３側に設けられた構成となっていてもよい。すなわち、パーツフィーダ１３及びフィーダ挿着部１２の一方に可動係合部材が設けられており、パーツフィーダ１３及びフィーダ挿着部１２の他方に被係合部材が設けられていればよい。 In the above-described embodiment, the movable engagement member is provided on the part feeder 13 side and the engaged member is provided on the feeder insertion portion 12 side. However, the movable engagement member is the feeder. The engaging member may be provided on the part feeder 13 side provided on the insertion portion 12 side. That is, the movable engagement member may be provided in one of the parts feeder 13 and the feeder insertion portion 12 and the engaged member may be provided in the other of the parts feeder 13 and the feeder insertion portion 12.

パーツフィーダの引き抜きに際してパーツフィーダと吸着ノズルが干渉するおそれのない部品実装装置、パーツフィーダ及び部品実装装置におけるパーツフィーダ引き抜き規制解除方法を提供する。 Provided are a component mounting apparatus, a part feeder, and a part feeder extraction restriction canceling method in the component mounting apparatus, in which there is no possibility of interference between the part feeder and the suction nozzle when the part feeder is pulled out.
