Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to feed automatically IC substrates by a method wherein a receiving stand is made to protrude from the conveying plane of conveying belts to transfer a tray on the recessed part of the receiving stand, an IC substrate is slided on the step parts of the receiving stand, the receiving stand is made to descend from the conveying plane of the conveying belts and the IC substrate and the tray are bridgedly mounted on the conveying belts. CONSTITUTION:A tray 30 and an IC substrate 40 are placed on a receiving stand 20 in the order of the tray 30 and the substrate 40 in a state that the tray 30 is made to protrude higher than the conveying plane of two conveying belts 11 and 11 from the interval between the belts, the stand 20 is made to descend to place the tray 30 on the belts 11 and moreover, the substrate 40 is placed on the tray 30. Here, as a recessed part 24a capable of supporting stably the tray 30 is ready-formed on the stand 20 and step parts 25a and 26a capable of supporting stably the substrate 40 are preformed on both sides of the upper part of the recessed part 24a, the substrate 40 superposes reliably right over the tray 30 when the stand 20 is made to descend and the tray can be bridgedly mounted on the belts in that state. Thereby, the IC substrates can be fed automatically.

又は自動供給機械により載置させる方法があった。[Prior Art] As the circuits of ceramic IC boards become more complex, circuit patterns are printed on both the front and back sides, as is well known. Conventionally, a mesh belt conveyor has been used to heat-treat IC boards, but if the IC board is placed directly on the mesh belt, the bottom surface of the IC board will come into contact with the mesh belt, causing problems. IC with double-sided printing like this
A tray (also called a spacer) is interposed in the substrate so that it does not come into direct contact with the mesh belt.However, conventionally, in order to supply IC boards with such a tray interposed, one manual operation is required to remove the mesh belt. A method of placing trays and IC boards one by one on the transport surface of a mesh belt, and a method of fixing metal trays, etc. at regular intervals to the transport surface of a mesh belt in advance, and manually placing IC boards on the trays, etc. Alternatively, there was a method of placing it using an automatic feeding machine.

Furthermore, in the case where a metal tray or the like is fixed to a mesh belt as described above, the size of an IC board that can be placed is limited and cannot be changed in size, so there is a drawback that it is not versatile. [Problems to be solved by the invention] The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks and improves workability by automatically placing IC boards on a tray and supplying them one after another, and also improves versatility in changing the size of IC boards. We also aim to provide the following.

１１，１１にこのトレイおよびＩＣ基板を移し乗せ。First, the tray handler 60 is stopped above the tray magazine 50a, the suction pads 64.64 are lowered, and the uppermost tray 30 in the tray magazine 50a is vacuum-suctioned to the suction pads 64.64. Then, the tray 30 is lifted up, the traveling body 62 is transferred directly above the pedestal 20 by the operation of the rodless cylinder 61, the suction pads 64 and 64 are lowered, and the vacuum suction is released to receive the tray 30. It is placed in alignment with the recess 24a of the stand 20. At that time, the pedestal 20 is attached to the conveyor belt 11, 11 as shown in FIG.
Since the mounting plate 23 is supported high by the operation of the air cylinder 21 so that it is located higher than the conveyance surface of the recess 24
The tray 30 on board a is spaced apart from the upper surface of the conveyor belt 11.11. Then, the tray handler 60 returns to its original position and first moves the tC board 40 of the board magazine 70a, which is at the same height as the steps 25a and 26a of the pedestal 20, and the bush plate 84 on the back of the board magazine 70a. By inserting it inside, it is pushed forward and slid onto the stepped portions 25a, 26a to support the IC board 40 on the stepped portions 25a, 26a. Then, by lowering the pedestal 20, the tray 30 is moved onto the conveyor belt 11.1 as shown in FIG.
Then, the IC board 40 is supported on the tray 30. In this manner, with the IC board 40 placed on the tray 30, the conveyor belt 11.11 is driven in the direction of the arrow to horizontally move it. In this way, the conveyor belt 11,1
1 tray 30. After the IC board 40 has been moved a certain distance, the conveyor belt 11, 11 is stopped and the pedestal 20 is raised again. Then, the tray handler 60 is operated to move the tray 30 in the tray magazine 50a onto the recess 24a in the same manner as described above. At this time, the tray 30 in the tray magazine 50a can always be positioned at the upper end of the opening due to the operation of the uplifting rod 54, so the suction pads 64, 64
It is reliably adsorbed and held. tray magazine 50a
When all the trays inside are empty, press air cylinder 5.
3 moves the reciprocating table 52 to move the existing tray magazine 50b to the position 50a so that the trays in the tray magazine 50b can be lifted and transferred by the tray handler 60. Then, the lifting table 72 is operated to raise the board magazine 70a by one pitch of the horizontal groove inside the board magazine 70a, and the ICj & board immediately below is moved to the stepped portions 25a, 2.
6a, the bushing plate 84 is advanced and the IC board is slid onto the stepped portions 25a and 26a in the same manner as before. Then, the tray 20 is lowered and the tray and the IC board are transferred and placed on the conveyor belts 11, 11.

に移送して来る。By bringing the clamping pieces 95a and 95b into contact with the long sides of the three trays 30 by bringing the trays 95b close to each other, the IC boards 40 placed thereon are simultaneously lifted. Then, the traveling body 93 is moved by the operation of the rodless cylinder 92 and moved above the mesh belt conveyor l. Then, the gripper 95 is lowered by the operation of the small cylinder 94, and the clamping pieces 95a and 95b are opened to place the three IC boards together with the tray on the mesh belt conveyor l. Thereafter, the same process as described above is repeated and IC boards are successively fed onto the mesh belt conveyor 1 with a tray interposed therebetween. Note that after all the IC boards in the board magazine 70a have been transferred, the empty magazine 70a is moved to the position of the board magazine 70b by the operation of the chain conveyor 71. In this way, the chain conveyor 71 moves the empty board magazine and also transports board magazines containing IC boards one after another to the position of the board magazine 70a.

A long rectangular IC board whose other side is shorter than the long side of the tray is used, and the tray is projected higher than the conveyance surface of the conveyor belt from the interval between the two conveyor belts. Since the tray and the IC board are placed on the pedestal in that order, the pedestal is lowered, the tray is placed on the conveyor belt, and then the IC board is placed on the tray, there is no possibility that the tray will shift laterally on the tray. The IC board can be placed securely without any problems. That is, since the pedestal has a concave part that can stably support the tray and a stepped part on both sides above the concave part that can stably support the IC board, when the pedestal is lowered, the tray and IC board can be safely supported. The trays can be placed on the two conveyor belts in such a state that the trays are reliably overlapped directly on top of each other.

このため人手にたよらずとも高い処理能力をもって次々
とＩＣ基板をその下にトレイを介装させて供給でき作業
性を大幅に向上させることができる。また、ＩＣ基板の
サイズが多少変ってきても受台を調整するだけで容易に
対処でき、従来のようにメツシュベルトを交換しなけれ
ばならないような大幅な変更を要しないので汎用性があ
るなど種々の利点がある。Therefore, it is possible to supply IC boards one after another with a tray interposed therebelow with high throughput without relying on human hands, and work efficiency can be greatly improved. In addition, even if the size of the IC board changes slightly, it can be easily handled by simply adjusting the cradle, and there is no need for major changes such as replacing the mesh belt as in the past, so it is versatile. There are advantages.
