Abstract

PURPOSE:To stably inspect and sort without operator for a long time in a component sorting apparatus by providing large-sized containing units at both sides of an inspecting unit, and separating a work from a main rail immediately after inspecting. CONSTITUTION:An uninspected component transferred from a component containing magazine 3 on a component conveying rail 5 is forcibly conveyed by a conveying unit 7. The uninspected component is inspected by a shape and print inspecting camera 8. The component which is decided as a malfunction is contained by a separator 6 through a conveying rail 11 in a malfunction component containing magazine 10. The component which is decided as good is inspected by next lead-shape inspecting camera 9. The malfunction component is contained in the magazine 10. The good component which has passed the two inspections is contained in a good component containing magazine 13 from the rail 5. When the magazine 13 is filled fully with the good components, it is contained in a magazine containing unit 14. Thus, the stock amount of works can be sufficiently provided to operate a component sorting apparatus without operator for a long time. Further, stable inspection and separation can be performed.

である。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to the appearance of semiconductors and electronic components, the shape of lead wires,
This invention relates to a part-by-item sorting device that inspects printing conditions and the like.

従来の技術 従来の検査装置は、部品の自然落下を利用し、落下途中
にて部品を一旦保持し検査を行ない最終収納部にて良、
不良のランク分けを行なう傾斜方式がとられていた。Conventional technology Conventional inspection equipment utilizes the natural falling of parts, temporarily holds and inspects the parts during the fall, and checks whether the parts are good or not in the final storage area.
A gradient method was used to rank the defects.

斜のついたレール上を自然落下させ、途中で部品を一旦
保持し検査し検査内容をソフト的に保持し最終収納部に
て記憶された内容に従って良、不良等のランク分けを行
なっていた。In other words, parts are supplied from the parts supply section at the top of the device, allowed to fall naturally on an inclined rail, temporarily held and inspected along the way, and the inspection contents are held in software and stored in the final storage section. They were ranked as good, bad, etc. according to the content.

発明が解決しようとする問題点 しかし、このような構成のものでは供給部品を多量にス
トックすることができず、部品供給間隔が短かく長時間

良、良品が分離されず流れるため複数の検査する場合、
効率的に検査ができないという問題があった。Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with such a configuration, it is not possible to stock a large amount of supplied parts, and parts supply intervals are short, making unattended operation for long periods of time impossible. In addition, even after inspection, defective and good products are not separated until the final process, so if multiple inspections are performed,
There was a problem that testing could not be carried out efficiently.

すなわち、上部に多量の部品を収納しようとすると、高
い部分に大きな収納部を持つ必要があり装置構成上不安
定になってしまう。また、傾斜レールを使っているため
レール途中から不良ワークを分離することが難しい。That is, if a large number of parts are to be stored in the upper part, it is necessary to have a large storage part in a high part, which makes the device configuration unstable. Furthermore, since an inclined rail is used, it is difficult to separate defective workpieces from the middle of the rail.

そこで、本装置は、長時間の無人運転を可能にしかつ検
査後のランク分けを確実にできるような構成とした。Therefore, this device was designed to enable long-term unmanned operation and to ensure classification of ranks after inspection.

問題点を解決するための手段 そして、上記問題点を解決する本発明の技術的な手段は

後すぐにワークを主レールから分離する構成とした。Means for Solving the Problems The technical means of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is to use a horizontal inspection device, provide large storage devices on both sides, and further provide a work separation section immediately after the inspection device. The structure is such that the workpiece is separated from the main rail immediately after inspection.

作　　用 この技術的手段による作用は、次のようになる。For production The effect of this technical means is as follows.

すなわち、本発明では、両側に大型の収納・供給装置を
設け、その間に検査部と分離部を隣接して設ける構成を
とっているため、長時間無人で安定した検査・選別を行
なえる。That is, in the present invention, large storage/supply devices are provided on both sides, and the inspection section and separation section are provided adjacently between them, so that stable inspection and sorting can be performed unattended for a long time.
