Description

テープガイドTape guide
 本明細書は、テープガイドに関する。 This specification relates to a tape guide.
 従来、部品供給装置に組み入れられるテープガイドが知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。部品供給装置は、電子部品をキャリアテープの部品収納部に収納した状態で部品取出位置に供給する。キャリアテープは、部品収納部が設けられたベーステープと、そのベーステープに剥離可能に貼付されてそのベーステープの部品収納部の開口を閉塞するカバーテープと、を有している。 Conventionally, a tape guide incorporated in a parts supply device is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The parts supply device supplies the electronic parts to the parts removal position in a state of being stored in the parts storage portion of the carrier tape. The carrier tape has a base tape provided with a component storage portion, and a cover tape that is detachably attached to the base tape to close the opening of the component storage portion of the base tape.
 上記のテープガイドは、キャリアテープの搬送方向に沿って延在するガイド本体部と、ベーステープからカバーテープを剥離して部品収納部内の電子部品を露出させる部品露出部と、を有している。ガイド本体部は、キャリアテープの上面をガイドする上壁部と、キャリアテープの側面をガイドする側壁部と、を有している。部品露出部は、搬送方向に延びる舌部を有している。舌部は、ガイド本体部に溶接などで固定されている。舌部は、その先端部が、ガイド本体部にガイドされるキャリアテープのベーステープとカバーテープとの間に挿入されるように配置されている。舌部には、剥離刃が設けられている。剥離刃は、舌部の先端部がベーステープとカバーテープとの間に進入した後、ベーステープからカバーテープを剥離する。部品露出部は、ガイド本体部にガイドされるキャリアテープの搬送中、舌部がベーステープとカバーテープとの間に挿入されて剥離刃がベーステープからカバーテープを部分的に剥離することで、部品収納部内の電子部品を露出させる。 The tape guide has a guide main body portion extending along the transport direction of the carrier tape, and a component exposed portion that peels off the cover tape from the base tape to expose the electronic components in the component storage portion. .. The guide main body has an upper wall portion that guides the upper surface of the carrier tape and a side wall portion that guides the side surface of the carrier tape. The component exposed portion has a tongue portion extending in the transport direction. The tongue portion is fixed to the guide main body portion by welding or the like. The tongue portion is arranged so that its tip portion is inserted between the base tape and the cover tape of the carrier tape guided by the guide main body portion. A peeling blade is provided on the tongue. The peeling blade peels the cover tape from the base tape after the tip of the tongue has entered between the base tape and the cover tape. The exposed part is formed by inserting the tongue part between the base tape and the cover tape and the peeling blade partially peeling the cover tape from the base tape while the carrier tape guided by the guide main body is being conveyed. Expose the electronic parts in the parts compartment.

 ところで、上記の如くベーステープからカバーテープが剥離して部品収納部内の電子部品が露出すると、その後、電子部品が部品取出位置に達するまで、電子部品がカバーテープで覆われなくなる。このため、この電子部品が部品収納部の開口(すなわちベーステープの上面)から飛び出ている或いはこの電子部品の上端と部品収納部の開口とのクリアランスが小さいと、電子部品と部品露出部の剥離刃を含むガイド本体部の上壁部の裏面とが接触し易くなり、電子部品に傷が付くおそれがある。 By the way, when the cover tape is peeled off from the base tape and the electronic parts in the parts storage portion are exposed as described above, the electronic parts are not covered with the cover tape until the electronic parts reach the parts removal position. Therefore, if the electronic component protrudes from the opening of the component storage portion (that is, the upper surface of the base tape) or the clearance between the upper end of the electronic component and the opening of the component storage portion is small, the electronic component and the exposed component are peeled off. The back surface of the upper wall of the guide body including the blade is likely to come into contact with the back surface, which may damage the electronic components.

The folded-back portion 49 is arranged on the downstream side in the transport direction from the tongue portion 46, and the tip is arranged so as to be located on the tape transport direction X upstream side from the component take-out position P. The folded-back portion 49 is formed in a plate shape, and is formed so that the width increases from the tape transport direction X upstream side to the tape transport direction X downstream side. The folded-back portion 49 is formed and arranged so as to close a part of the opening 42a.
 キャリアテープ80は、後述の部品移載装置120を用いて部品取出位置Pでベーステープ82から電子部品2が取り出された後、ベーステープ82とカバーテープ83とがテープ幅方向他端部で接着した状態のまま本体ケース10から外部へ排出される。 In the carrier tape 80, after the electronic component 2 is taken out from the base tape 82 at the component take-out position P by using the component transfer device 120 described later, the base tape 82 and the cover tape 83 are adhered to each other at the other end in the tape width direction. It is discharged from the main body case 10 to the outside in the same state.
 部品移載装置120は、部品取出位置Pまで供給された電子部品2を、キャリアテープ80から所定の部品装着位置に位置決めされている基板3に向けて移載する装置である。部品移載装置120は、図1に示す如く、第一スライダ121と、第二スライダ122と、装着ヘッド123と、を有している。 The component transfer device 120 is a device for transferring the electronic component 2 supplied to the component take-out position P from the carrier tape 80 toward the substrate 3 positioned at a predetermined component mounting position. As shown in FIG. 1, the component transfer device 120 includes a first slider 121, a second slider 122, and a mounting head 123.
 第一スライダ121は、ガイドレール124,125を介して基台に支持されている。ガイドレール124,125は、基板搬送装置110による基板搬送方向Yに直交するテープ搬送方向Xに延びており、基板搬送装置110の上方に配設されている。第一スライダ121は、第一サーボモータの駆動によりガイドレール124,125に沿ってテープ搬送方向Xに向けて移動される。第二スライダ122は、第一スライダ121に対して基板搬送方向Yに向けて移動可能に取り付けられている。第二スライダ122は、第一スライダ121に固定された第二サーボモータ(図示せず)の駆動により基板搬送方向Yに向けて移動される。 The first slider 121 is supported by the base via the guide rails 124 and 125. The guide rails 124 and 125 extend in the tape transport direction X orthogonal to the board transport direction Y by the board transport device 110, and are arranged above the board transport device 110. The first slider 121 is moved along the guide rails 124 and 125 in the tape transport direction X by driving the first servomotor. The second slider 122 is movably attached to the first slider 121 in the substrate transport direction Y. The second slider 122 is moved in the substrate transport direction Y by driving a second servomotor (not shown) fixed to the first slider 121.

The mounting head 123 may be capable of holding a plurality of suction nozzles and gripping chucks. The mounting head 123 can move its position in the vertical direction Z orthogonal to both the tape transport direction X and the substrate transport direction Y. The suction nozzle of the mounting head 123 takes out the electronic component 2 supplied to the component extraction position P by the component supply device 1 from the component storage portion 84 of the carrier tape 80 by using negative pressure or the like, and removes the extracted electronic component 2. By releasing the negative pressure or the like, it is mounted on the substrate 3 positioned at a predetermined component mounting position.
 2.部品供給装置の動作
 部品供給装置1において、操作レバー37がスプリングの付勢力により所定回りに回動されている状態では、入口押部材21がテープ搬送路20に当接していると共に、邪魔板38が自重により回動されてテープ挿入部11を閉塞している。かかる状態から操作レバー37が作業者の手動によりスプリングの付勢力に抗して反対回りに回動されて上方に持ち上げられると、入口押部材21がテープ搬送路20から離間すると共に、邪魔板38が下流側押部材22により回動されてテープ挿入部11をキャリアテープ80を挿入可能に開放する。この状態では、作業者によりキャリアテープ80が部品供給装置1のテープ挿入部11に挿入可能である。
2. 2. Operation of the parts supply device In the parts supply device 1, when the operation lever 37 is rotated in a predetermined direction by the urging force of the spring, the inlet pushing member 21 is in contact with the tape transport path 20 and the baffle plate 38 is in contact with the tape transport path 20. Is rotated by its own weight to close the tape insertion portion 11. From this state, when the operating lever 37 is manually rotated in the opposite direction against the urging force of the spring and lifted upward, the inlet pushing member 21 is separated from the tape transport path 20 and the baffle plate 38 is separated. Is rotated by the downstream push member 22 to open the tape insertion portion 11 so that the carrier tape 80 can be inserted. In this state, the carrier tape 80 can be inserted into the tape insertion portion 11 of the component supply device 1 by the operator.
 キャリアテープ80がテープ挿入部11に挿入されると、そのキャリアテープ80の先端は、ストッパ部材39の停止部39dに当接する位置まで挿入することができる。キャリアテープ80が停止部39dに当接する位置まで挿入された状態で操作レバー37の持ち上げ操作が解除されると、その操作レバー37がスプリングの付勢力により回動されて原位置に復帰する。この原点復帰状態では、入口押部材21がスプリング24の付勢力によりテープ搬送路20に向けて下降されることで、キャリアテープ80がテープ搬送路20に向けて押さえられると共に、邪魔板38が自重によりテープ挿入部11を閉塞する。また同時に、ストッパ部材39の当接部39cがテープ搬送路20に当接すると共に、その停止部39dがテープ搬送路20から離間する。 When the carrier tape 80 is inserted into the tape insertion portion 11, the tip of the carrier tape 80 can be inserted to a position where it comes into contact with the stop portion 39d of the stopper member 39. When the lifting operation of the operating lever 37 is released with the carrier tape 80 inserted to a position where it comes into contact with the stop portion 39d, the operating lever 37 is rotated by the urging force of the spring to return to the original position. In this home origin return state, the inlet pushing member 21 is lowered toward the tape transport path 20 by the urging force of the spring 24, so that the carrier tape 80 is pressed toward the tape transport path 20 and the baffle plate 38 is self-weighted. Closes the tape insertion portion 11. At the same time, the contact portion 39c of the stopper member 39 comes into contact with the tape transport path 20, and the stop portion 39d is separated from the tape transport path 20.
 部品供給装置1に搭載される各種センサを用いて、テープ挿入部11へのキャリアテープ80の挿入が検出され、テープ搬送路20上でのキャリアテープ80の存在が検出され、かつ操作レバー37が原位置に復帰していることが検出されると、後部側モータ33が駆動されて、後部側スプロケット31が回転する。この場合、停止部39dのテープ搬送路20からの離間によりキャリアテープ80の先端側が停止部39dからテープ搬送方向X下流側へ搬送されるのが許容された状態で、後部側スプロケット31がその外歯とキャリアテープ80の送り孔86とが係合した状態で回転するので、そのキャリアテープ80が後部側スプロケット31の回転によりテープ排出部12側へ搬送される。 Using various sensors mounted on the component supply device 1, the insertion of the carrier tape 80 into the tape insertion portion 11 is detected, the presence of the carrier tape 80 on the tape transport path 20 is detected, and the operation lever 37 is pressed. When it is detected that the vehicle has returned to the original position, the rear motor 33 is driven to rotate the rear sprocket 31. In this case, the rear sprocket 31 is outside the carrier tape 80 in a state where the tip side of the carrier tape 80 is allowed to be transported from the stop portion 39d to the tape transport direction X downstream side due to the separation of the stop portion 39d from the tape transport path 20. Since the teeth and the feed hole 86 of the carrier tape 80 rotate in an engaged state, the carrier tape 80 is conveyed to the tape discharge portion 12 side by the rotation of the rear sprocket 31.
 後部側スプロケット31の回転によるキャリアテープ80の搬送が進行すると、そのキャリアテープ80の先端が、上面押部材28の後端部に形成された案内部とテープ搬送路20との間から上面押部材28の下方に進入する。このため、キャリアテープ80の先端側は、上面押部材28によってテープ搬送路20からの浮き上がりが抑制された状態で前部側スプロケット32側に向けて搬送される。そして、キャリアテープ80の先端が前部側スプロケット32のテープ搬送方向X上流側に到達したことがセンサを用いて検出されると、後部側モータ33及び前部側モータ34が駆動されて、後部側スプロケット31及び前部側スプロケット32が間欠的に回転する。 When the carrier tape 80 is conveyed by the rotation of the rear sprocket 31, the tip of the carrier tape 80 is pushed from between the guide portion formed at the rear end of the upper surface pushing member 28 and the tape conveying path 20. Enter below 28. Therefore, the tip end side of the carrier tape 80 is conveyed toward the front sprocket 32 side in a state where the upper surface pushing member 28 suppresses the lifting from the tape conveying path 20. Then, when it is detected by the sensor that the tip of the carrier tape 80 has reached the tape transport direction X upstream side of the front side sprocket 32, the rear side motor 33 and the front side motor 34 are driven to drive the rear part. The side sprocket 31 and the front side sprocket 32 rotate intermittently.
 この状態でキャリアテープ80の送り孔86に前部側スプロケット32の外歯が係合すると、そのキャリアテープ80が前部側スプロケット32の回転によってテープ排出部12側に搬送される。そして、その搬送中、テープ搬送路20上でキャリアテープ80のテープ搬送方向X先端がテープガイド40の部品露出部45の舌部46に達して、キャリアテープ80の搬送方向先端のベーステープ82とカバーテープ83との間に舌部46の先端部46aが進入する。 In this state, when the external teeth of the front side sprocket 32 engage with the feed hole 86 of the carrier tape 80, the carrier tape 80 is conveyed to the tape discharge portion 12 side by the rotation of the front side sprocket 32. Then, during the transfer, the tape transport direction X tip of the carrier tape 80 reaches the tongue portion 46 of the component exposed portion 45 of the tape guide 40 on the tape transport path 20, and the base tape 82 at the tip of the carrier tape 80 in the transport direction. The tip portion 46a of the tongue portion 46 enters between the cover tape 83 and the cover tape 83.
 上記の如く舌部46の先端部46aがキャリアテープ80の搬送方向先端のベーステープ82とカバーテープ83との間に進入した後、更に前部側スプロケット32の回転が継続すると、部品露出部45の剥離刃47が、ベーステープ82とカバーテープ83との接着箇所に挿入されて、ベーステープ82からカバーテープ83を部分的に剥離する。そして、前部側スプロケット32の回転により、キャリアテープ80は、ベーステープ82からカバーテープ83が剥離されて部品収納部84内の電子部品2が露出した状態でテープ搬送方向Xに沿って搬送される。 When the tip 46a of the tongue 46 enters between the base tape 82 and the cover tape 83 at the tip of the carrier tape 80 in the transport direction and the front sprocket 32 continues to rotate as described above, the component exposed portion 45 The peeling blade 47 of the above is inserted into the bonding portion between the base tape 82 and the cover tape 83, and the cover tape 83 is partially peeled from the base tape 82. Then, due to the rotation of the front side sprocket 32, the carrier tape 80 is conveyed along the tape conveying direction X in a state where the cover tape 83 is peeled off from the base tape 82 and the electronic component 2 in the component accommodating portion 84 is exposed. To.
 上記の如くキャリアテープ80の搬送が行われると、部品収納部84内の電子部品2が部品取出位置Pに供給される。部品取出位置Pに供給された電子部品2は、後部側スプロケット31及び前部側スプロケット32の間欠的な回転中における回転停止ごとに、部品装着機100が備える部品移載装置120により吸着又は把持されて部品収納部84から取り出され、基板生産ライン上の基板3に移載される。 When the carrier tape 80 is conveyed as described above, the electronic component 2 in the component storage unit 84 is supplied to the component take-out position P. The electronic component 2 supplied to the component take-out position P is attracted or gripped by the component transfer device 120 included in the component mounting machine 100 each time the rotation is stopped during the intermittent rotation of the rear sprocket 31 and the front sprocket 32. It is taken out from the component storage unit 84 and transferred to the substrate 3 on the substrate production line.
 3.テープガイドの効果
 キャリアテープ80は、テープ搬送路20上での搬送中、ベーステープ82からカバーテープ83が剥離されて部品収納部84内の電子部品2が露出した後、バックアップ板バネ50により上方へ付勢されることで、ベーステープ82の上面が舌部46の裏面に押し付けられた状態でテープ搬送方向Xに沿って搬送される。電子部品2は、露出後、部品取出位置Pに達するまで、カバーテープ83で覆われなくなる。舌部46におけるキャリアテープ80の部品収納部84の開口に対向し得る対向領域Sには、部品収納部84から電子部品2が飛び出すのを防止する対向部41aが設けられている。対向部41aは、電子部品2に比して硬度の低い材料(具体的には、樹脂)により形成されている。
3. 3. Effect of Tape Guide The carrier tape 80 is moved upward by the backup leaf spring 50 after the cover tape 83 is peeled off from the base tape 82 and the electronic component 2 in the component storage portion 84 is exposed during the transfer on the tape transport path 20. By being urged to, the upper surface of the base tape 82 is conveyed along the tape conveying direction X in a state of being pressed against the back surface of the tongue portion 46. After exposure, the electronic component 2 is not covered with the cover tape 83 until the component removal position P is reached. In the facing region S of the tongue portion 46 that can face the opening of the component storage portion 84 of the carrier tape 80, a facing portion 41a that prevents the electronic component 2 from popping out from the component storage portion 84 is provided. The facing portion 41a is formed of a material (specifically, a resin) having a hardness lower than that of the electronic component 2.
 この構成においては、キャリアテープ80の部品収納部84内の電子部品2が露出した後、その部品収納部84内の電子部品2が舌部46の裏面に接触したとき、電子部品2及び舌部46のうち傷が付くのは、硬度の低い舌部46側である。従って、電子部品2の露出後、部品取出位置Pへの到達までの間、その電子部品2が部品収納部84の開口から飛び出ている或いはその電子部品2の上端と部品収納部84の開口とのクリアランスが小さいときに、その電子部品2に舌部46との接触に起因して傷が付くのを防止することができる。このため、部品装着機100によりキャリアテープ80から取り出される電子部品2が不良品となるのを回避することができる。 In this configuration, after the electronic component 2 in the component storage portion 84 of the carrier tape 80 is exposed, when the electronic component 2 in the component storage portion 84 comes into contact with the back surface of the tongue portion 46, the electronic component 2 and the tongue portion Of the 46, the one that is scratched is the tongue portion 46, which has a low hardness. Therefore, after the electronic component 2 is exposed and until it reaches the component take-out position P, the electronic component 2 protrudes from the opening of the component storage portion 84, or the upper end of the electronic component 2 and the opening of the component storage portion 84. When the clearance is small, it is possible to prevent the electronic component 2 from being scratched due to contact with the tongue portion 46. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the electronic component 2 taken out from the carrier tape 80 by the component mounting machine 100 from becoming a defective product.
 また、舌部46の裏面は、その面全体がベーステープ82における部品収納部84を含む周辺領域の上面に対向して当接するように略水平平面に形成されている。この構成においては、舌部46の裏面の略全域が、バックアップ板バネ50により上方へ付勢されるベーステープ82の上面に当接してそのベーステープ82を支持するので、舌部46の裏面が部品収納部84内の電子部品2に接触しないようにその裏面にトンネル状の溝或いは段差が形成される構成に比して、ベーステープ82の上面が舌部46の裏面に支持される面積を最大限確保することができる。このため、キャリアテープ80の搬送時、振動などに起因してベーステープ82の部品収納部84内で露出した電子部品2の姿勢が乱れ易くなるのを防止することができ、部品取出位置Pでの電子部品2の取り出しを安定化させることができる。 Further, the back surface of the tongue portion 46 is formed in a substantially horizontal plane so that the entire surface surface of the tongue portion 46 faces the upper surface of the peripheral region including the component storage portion 84 of the base tape 82. In this configuration, substantially the entire back surface of the tongue portion 46 abuts on the upper surface of the base tape 82 that is urged upward by the backup leaf spring 50 to support the base tape 82, so that the back surface of the tongue portion 46 is The area where the upper surface of the base tape 82 is supported by the back surface of the tongue portion 46 is larger than the configuration in which a tunnel-shaped groove or a step is formed on the back surface of the electronic component 2 in the component storage portion 84 so as not to come into contact with the electronic component 2. It can be secured to the maximum. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the posture of the electronic component 2 exposed in the component storage portion 84 of the base tape 82 from being easily disturbed due to vibration or the like during transportation of the carrier tape 80, and at the component take-out position P. It is possible to stabilize the take-out of the electronic component 2 of the above.
 また、舌部46の先端部46aの最先端は、対向部41aに含まれて樹脂により形成されていると共に、その先端部46aの剥離刃47は、金属部41bに含まれており、金属により形成されている。この構成においては、舌部46のうちキャリアテープ80のベーステープ82とカバーテープ83との間に最初に進入してベーステープ82からカバーテープ83を起こし上げする部位(すなわち、先端部46aの最先端)が樹脂により形成されると共に、ベーステープ82とカバーテープ83との接着箇所に挿入してベーステープ82からカバーテープ83を剥離する部位(すなわち、剥離刃47)が金属により形成される。 Further, the leading edge of the tip portion 46a of the tongue portion 46 is included in the facing portion 41a and is formed of resin, and the peeling blade 47 of the tip portion 46a is included in the metal portion 41b and is made of metal. It is formed. In this configuration, the portion of the tongue 46 that first enters between the base tape 82 and the cover tape 83 of the carrier tape 80 and raises the cover tape 83 from the base tape 82 (that is, the most tip portion 46a). The tip) is formed of resin, and a portion (that is, a peeling blade 47) that is inserted into the bonding portion between the base tape 82 and the cover tape 83 to peel off the cover tape 83 from the base tape 82 is formed of metal.
 ベーステープ82とカバーテープ83との間に最初に進入する舌部46の先端部46aの最先端は、ベーステープ82の部品収納部84の真上に位置している。このため、上記の構成によれば、この舌部46の先端部46aの最先端が金属により形成される構成とは異なり、カバーテープ83の下面に部品収納部84内の電子部品2が貼り付いている場合などにその電子部品2を舌部46の樹脂部分でカバーテープ83の下面から剥がすことができ、これにより、その電子部品2に傷が付くのを確実に防止することができる。また、ベーステープ82とカバーテープ83との接着箇所を剥離する剥離刃47が樹脂により形成される構成に比べて、剥離刃47の耐久性を向上させることができる。 The tip of the tip 46a of the tongue portion 46 that first enters between the base tape 82 and the cover tape 83 is located directly above the component storage portion 84 of the base tape 82. Therefore, according to the above configuration, unlike the configuration in which the tip end portion 46a of the tongue portion 46 is formed of metal, the electronic component 2 in the component storage portion 84 is attached to the lower surface of the cover tape 83. The electronic component 2 can be peeled off from the lower surface of the cover tape 83 at the resin portion of the tongue portion 46, whereby the electronic component 2 can be reliably prevented from being scratched. Further, the durability of the peeling blade 47 can be improved as compared with the structure in which the peeling blade 47 for peeling the adhesive portion between the base tape 82 and the cover tape 83 is formed of resin.
 4.変形形態
 ところで、上記の実施形態においては、ガイド本体部41の舌部46の裏面に形成される対向領域Sが、キャリアテープ80の搬送時に部品露出部45により電子部品2が露出する部品収納部84の開口に対向し得る領域であって、舌部46における露出開始位置から部品取出位置Pまでのテープ搬送方向Xに沿って延びる領域である。そして、電子部品2に比して硬度の低い樹脂製の対向部41aが、その対向領域S全域に亘ってテープ搬送方向Xに沿って直線状に延びている。しかし、本開示は、これに限定されるものではなく、対向部41aが、その対向領域Sのうち一部に形成されるものであってよい。
4. Deformed form In the above embodiment, the facing region S formed on the back surface of the tongue portion 46 of the guide main body portion 41 is a component storage portion in which the electronic component 2 is exposed by the component exposed portion 45 when the carrier tape 80 is conveyed. It is a region that can face the opening of 84 and extends along the tape transport direction X from the exposure start position on the tongue portion 46 to the component take-out position P. Then, the resin facing portion 41a, which has a lower hardness than the electronic component 2, extends linearly along the tape transport direction X over the entire facing region S. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the facing portion 41a may be formed in a part of the facing region S.
 例えば、舌部46がキャリアテープ80のベーステープ82とカバーテープ83との間への進入を開始する際にその舌部46の先端部46aに電子部品2が接触してその電子部品2を損傷させるのを防止するため、舌部46の先端部46aの対向領域Sにのみ、電子部品2に比して硬度の低い樹脂製の対向部41aが形成されるものであってもよい。また、舌部46がキャリアテープ80のベーステープ82とカバーテープ83との間への進入を開始した後のキャリアテープ80の搬送中にその舌部46の裏面に電子部品2が接触してその電子部品2を損傷させるのを防止するため、舌部46の先端部46aを除く対向領域Sに対向部41aが形成されるものとし、その先端部46aの対向領域Sに対向部41aが形成されないものであってもよい。 For example, when the tongue portion 46 starts to enter between the base tape 82 and the cover tape 83 of the carrier tape 80, the electronic component 2 comes into contact with the tip portion 46a of the tongue portion 46 and damages the electronic component 2. In order to prevent this from occurring, a resin facing portion 41a having a hardness lower than that of the electronic component 2 may be formed only in the facing region S of the tip portion 46a of the tongue portion 46. Further, the electronic component 2 comes into contact with the back surface of the tongue portion 46 during the transfer of the carrier tape 80 after the tongue portion 46 starts to enter between the base tape 82 and the cover tape 83 of the carrier tape 80. In order to prevent the electronic component 2 from being damaged, the facing portion 41a is formed in the facing region S excluding the tip portion 46a of the tongue portion 46, and the facing portion 41a is not formed in the facing region S of the tip portion 46a. It may be a thing.
 また、上記の実施形態においては、ガイド本体部41の舌部46は、先端部46aが、他方のテープ幅方向端部側(具体的には、送り孔86が設けられた側)にて最もテープ搬送方向X上流側に位置し、その他方のテープ幅方向端部側から上記した一方のテープ幅方向端部側にかけて徐々にテープ搬送方向X下流側に位置するように形成されている。そして、その先端部46aの最先端が、ベーステープ82の部品収納部84の真上に位置しており、電子部品2に比して硬度の低い樹脂製の対向部41aに設けられている。 Further, in the above embodiment, the tongue portion 46 of the guide main body portion 41 has the tip portion 46a most on the other end side in the tape width direction (specifically, the side where the feed hole 86 is provided). It is formed so as to be located on the upstream side of the tape transport direction X and gradually located on the downstream side of the tape transport direction X from the other end side in the tape width direction to the one end side in the tape width direction described above. The tip of the tip portion 46a is located directly above the component storage portion 84 of the base tape 82, and is provided on the resin facing portion 41a having a hardness lower than that of the electronic component 2.
 しかし、本開示は、これに限定されるものではなく、図13及び図14に示す如く、ガイド本体部41の舌部46は、先端部46aが、他方のテープ幅方向端部側(具体的には、送り孔86が設けられた側)からテープ幅方向中央部側にかけて傾斜して徐々に搬送方向上流側に位置し、そのテープ幅方向中央部側から上記した一方のテープ幅方向端部側にかけて傾斜して徐々に搬送方向下流側に位置するように形成されていてよい。そして、先端部46aの最先端が、ベーステープ82の部品収納部84の真上に対して僅かにテープ幅方向にオフセットして位置し、金属部41b(具体的には、対向部41aからテープ幅方向にオフセットした箇所)に設けられることとしてもよい。 However, the present disclosure is not limited to this, and as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the tongue portion 46 of the guide main body portion 41 has a tip portion 46a on the other end side in the tape width direction (specifically).
