The present invention relates to an improvement of this component supply device. FIG. 3 shows a configuration of a conventional component supply device. In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a component to be inspected. As the component 10, for example, an electronic component in which a crystal unit, a ceramic filter, a switch, and the like are stored inside a package can be considered. The components 10 are aligned by an aligning and transporting device called a vibration transporting device or a vibrating parts feeder, for example, and are sent out in the direction of arrow P. Reference numeral 11 denotes a delivery port of the vibration transfer device, and reference numeral 12 denotes a component supply device provided at the delivery port 11. In this example, the component supply device 1

0 is controlled by the movable rod 12A to control the state where the part 10 is prevented from flowing out and the state where the part 10 is released.
Work to separate and store the components 10 one by one. In this example, the transport base 13 is formed of a rectangular metal block, and a concave portion having a size slightly larger than the planar shape of the component 10 is formed on one side of the metal block. . When receiving one component 10 into the storage unit 14, the transport gantry 13 temporarily
The operator retracts in the alignment direction Y1 of 0 and separates the component 10 stored in the storage unit 14 from the component 10 held by the component supply device 12. That is, when the package of the component 10 is formed of, for example, ceramic or resin material, the component 1 is formed by burrs or the like formed on the package.
Because 0 may be connected to each other,
The part 10 needs to be separated.

Therefore, the transport gantry 13 is moved in the Y2 direction with the empty storage unit 14 facing the delivery port 11, and the entrance of the storage unit 14 is connected to the delivery port 11. A component supply device 12 is provided to prevent the components 10 arranged in a state in which the transport gantry 13 has moved in the Y1 direction from spilling out.

生じる。There is no particular problem when the package of the component 10 is made of a resin material as described above. However, when the package is made of ceramic, the wall surface 15 facing the component supply device 12 has no problem. As shown by a dotted line in FIG. 3, there is a disadvantage that the film is deformed into a largely cut-off state.

The phenomenon of being cut off is seen. Incidentally, the wall surface 1 against which the component 10 is pressed
Even if a super-steel alloy is placed on the surface 5, the wall surface 15 is deformed in about two months if about 50,000 parts 10 are inspected per day. As a result, parts constituting the wall surface 15 have to be replaced every two months, so that there is a disadvantage that maintenance is troublesome.

The parts corresponding to those in FIG. 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals, but in the present invention, the part 10A at the leading edge of the alignment of the parts 10 to be aligned and the position at which the part 10B located next thereto are stopped. Vacuum suction holes 17A and 17B are formed in the respective component sliding surfaces 16 (FIG. 2), and a suction pump 19 is connected to the vacuum suction holes 17A and 17B through solenoid valves 18A and 18B. In this manner, the illustrated embodiment shows a case in which the vacuum suction holes 17A and 17B are provided so as to obtain a strong stopping force at the time of suction. In addition, the separate provision of the solenoid valves 18A and 18B enables the suction operation of the vacuum suction holes 17A and 17B separately. By separately enabling the suction operation, when the last one reaches the forefront position, the solenoid valve 18B is closed to close the vacuum suction hole 1.
It is possible to suppress a decrease in the adsorbing power of 7A.

先端位置に移動する。The electromagnetic valve 18 is operated in synchronization with the suction operation of the air cylinder 24 and the movement of the carriage 13 in the Y1 direction.
Is controlled to be in an open state, air is sucked from the vacuum suction hole 17, and the suction force causes the parts 10A and 10B to be sucked to the position to maintain a stationary state. When the transport gantry 13 moves in the Y2 direction and returns to a state where the transport gantry 13 comes into contact with the delivery port 11, the electromagnetic valve 18 is closed and the suction state is released. Therefore, the leading-edge component 10A is sent out to the storage unit 14 provided on the transport gantry 13, and the next component 10B moves to the leading-edge position.
