Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable accurate positioning of an electrolytic capacitor held on a transfer tray and adjustment of the angle by which it may turn. CONSTITUTION:In a transfer tray 1 for electrolytic capacitors a plurality of hollows each suited to the outside diameter and other dimensions of the electrolytic capacitor 4 are formed and terminal receivers 3 for receiving its outside terminals 41 are formed in the bottom of each hollow. In the terminal receivers 3 a first projection 31 and a second projection 32 are provided respectively, whose projecting directions are perpendicular to each other and each of which is tapered in a manner of restricting movement of the outside terminal 41. As a result, the angle in which the electrolytic capacitor on the transfer tray may turn can be restricted to a maximum of 5 degrees.

2. Description of the Related Art As a carrying tray used for carrying an electrolytic capacitor, a tray having a structure shown in FIG. 3 has been conventionally known. That is, a plurality of recesses 2 that match the outer diameter of the electrolytic capacitor are formed in a carrying tray 1 formed by molding a resin into a box shape, and further, the anode and cathode external terminals of the electrolytic capacitor are housed respectively. The terminal accommodating portion 3 for forming the terminal accommodating portion 3 formed on the bottom surface of the concave portion 2 was used. When the electrolytic capacitor is housed in the carrying tray 1, the terminal housing portion 3 is provided separately for the anode and the cathode, so that the electrolytic capacitor is prevented from rotating inside the recess 2 of the carrying tray 1. It As a result, if the electrolytic capacitors are stored with the same polarity, the polarities of the electrolytic capacitors will not be reversed even when the electrolytic capacitors are transferred by the transport tray.

When mounting an electrolytic capacitor on a printed circuit board, the electrolytic capacitor is mounted at a predetermined position from a carrier tray using an automatic insertion device. This automatic insertion device is, for example, as shown in FIG. 4A, a component conveying jig 5 which is movable in a two-dimensional direction and moves up and down at a predetermined position, and an openable / closable chuck 6 attached to the component conveying jig 5. And the operation can be controlled by an electronic computer or the like. Then, the electrolytic capacitor 4 is picked up by the chuck 6 from the electrolytic capacitor carrying tray 1 installed at a predetermined position of the automatic insertion device, transferred to a predetermined position of the printed board 7, and the component carrying jig 5 is lowered. The external terminal 41 of the electrolytic capacitor 4 is inserted into the through hole of the printed board 7.

By the way, in the conventional carrying tray 1, in order to improve workability when the electrolytic capacitor 4 is housed in the carrying tray 1, the terminal housing portion 2 for housing the external terminal 41 is provided in the external terminal 41. It is formed to be larger than the size so that the allowable range of the rotation angle of the electrolytic capacitor 4 can be increased. FIG. 5 shows a state of the external terminal 41 when the electrolytic capacitor 4 is mounted on the conventional carrying tray 1, and thus the position and size of the terminal accommodating portion 3 of the carrying tray 1 are as shown in FIG. Since the play angle has a play, the play angle of each electrolytic capacitor 4 accommodated in the transport tray 1 varies. Therefore, when the electrolytic capacitor is mounted on the printed circuit board 7 from the transfer tray 1 by using the automatic insertion device, the rotation angle of the electrolytic capacitor 4 held by the chuck 6 varies, and the direction of the external terminal 41 is changed. In some cases, the shape did not match the shape of the through hole provided in the printed board 7, and the electrolytic capacitor 4 could not be properly mounted on the printed board 7.

Therefore, in the automatic insertion device for the electrolytic capacitor 4, the rotation angle of the external terminal 41 of the electrolytic capacitor 4 is detected and the carrying jig 5 and the chuck 6 itself are rotated to an appropriate angle to allow the electrolytic capacitor 4 to move. A rotation angle control means for aligning the rotation directions is required. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 4B, the electrolytic capacitor 4 sandwiched and transferred by the chuck 6 is once removed from the chuck 6, and the rotating angle of the electrolytic capacitor 4 is aligned using the aligning jig 8 to rotate the electrolytic capacitor 4. After setting the angle to a predetermined angle, a method is required in which the electrolytic capacitor 4 is again gripped by the chuck 6 and transferred to the printed circuit board 7. In any of these cases, the rotation angle control means or the aligning jig 8 is required, which makes the equipment complicated and large. In addition, the work process is increased by any of the methods, which causes deterioration of work efficiency in the mounting process of the electrolytic capacitor.

In order to improve work efficiency, when mounting an electrolytic capacitor using an automatic insertion device, it is desired to mount the electrolytic capacitor directly on the printed circuit board 7 from the carrying tray 1.
Therefore, in order to properly insert the electrolytic capacitor 4 into the through hole of the printed board 7, an error in the mounting angle of the external terminal 41 of the electrolytic capacitor 4 with respect to the body of the electrolytic capacitor 4 and the tolerance of the through hole of the printed board 7 to be mounted. As a result of an experiment in consideration of such conditions, it was found that the mounting can be properly performed within 5 degrees to the left and right of the reference angle.

As can be seen from the above experimental results, it has been found that the number of insertion errors increases when the allowable value of the rotation angle is 6 degrees or more. Further, the smaller the allowable value of the rotation angle, the lower the possibility of mounting error, but the smaller the allowable value, the higher the processing accuracy of the transport tray. Therefore, it was found that the allowable value of the rotation angle is about 5 degrees.

According to the present invention, the position of the electrolytic capacitor can be accurately positioned inside the transfer tray. Therefore, when the automatic tray is transported from the transport tray to the printed circuit board or the like, the chuck can be accurately gripped at a desired position.

Further, since all the rotating angles of the electrolytic capacitors can be aligned in the same direction and the rotating angles of the electrolytic capacitors can be controlled in the recesses, the electrolytic capacitors are conveyed by the automatic insertion device. When mounting on the printed circuit board from the tray, it is not necessary to adjust the rotation angle of the electrolytic capacitor, so that the electrolytic capacitor can be directly mounted on the printed circuit board. Therefore, the mounting process on the printed circuit board can be simplified and the working time can be shortened.

Moreover, when the electrolytic capacitor is stored in the carrying tray, since the opening of the terminal storage portion is formed to have the same size as the conventional one, the rotation angle of the electrolytic capacitor itself when the electrolytic capacitor is stored. Is not required so much, and the storage work can be easily performed.
