Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for supplying components when an insertion error occurs in a component supply device that supplies components arranged and transferred in the order of insertion (hereinafter referred to as sequential) to an insertion section. It is.

Conventional Structure and Problems The supply of components in an automatic electrical component insertion device is a very important part, and various methods have been used in the past, including a method of sequentially supplying components. Although this method has the advantage of not wasting supply time and can efficiently supply parts, it also has the disadvantage that it is not possible to immediately correct the supply when an insertion error occurs.

FIG. 1(a) is an example of an electrical component insertion machine having a sequential component supply mode. The components separated by the component separating section 1 are transferred to a component holding station 3 by a component transfer section 2 and supplied to an insertion section 4. Figure 1 (
b) is an enlarged view centered on the parts waiting station 3. FIG. When an insertion error occurs, even if the component transfer section 2 transfers the same type of component as the erroneously inserted component, several components are waiting at the component standby station 3, so these must be inserted first. However, due to the size relationship with the insertion part 4 depending on the type of parts, if parts 5 and 6 are inserted (an example is shown in Figure 2), and part 6 was inserted incorrectly, If the component 7 is inserted, when the component 6 is inserted again, the insertion portion 4 interferes with the component 7 by an amount X, resulting in a range where insertion is impossible. Therefore, it had to be reinserted manually, which was very inefficient and affected productivity.

Purpose of the Invention In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention provides a component supply device that can improve productivity by enabling a component supply device that supplies sequential components to immediately resupply the same component as the erroneously inserted component when an insertion error occurs. The present invention provides a method.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve this object, the component supply method of the present invention temporarily returns the component to be inserted next to the incorrectly inserted component to a transfer unit having a component holder, and then replaces the same component as the incorrectly inserted component. This is a method where the parts are held in a designated holder of the transfer section and re-supplied to the insertion section after realignment, and when an insertion error occurs, the parts are held immediately.
Modified parts can be resupplied.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6.

FIG. 3 shows an example of parts used in this embodiment. Fourth
The figure is an overall view of the automatic electrical component insertion device, and shows the component separation section 10.
is fixed on the main body frame 11, and the component holder 1
2 are mounted at equal pitches on the circumference of the component transfer section 13 having a drive source 14 and directly below the component separation section 10, and the drive source 14 performs intermittent and continuous transfer of the component transfer section 13. It will be done. 16 is the transfer part, and the parts holder 1
The receiver is a part that passes the parts transferred by step 2 to an insertion section (not shown). The next part to be inserted is the receiving part 15.
, and is waiting for the next insertion.

FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the component holder 12 and the transfer section 15. The component holder 12 is attached to the movable part 16 of the component transfer part 14, and has a lid 17 on the top thereof. A drive source 19 for opening and closing the lid 17 is attached to the fixed part 18 of the clothing transfer part 14. chuck 2o
is connected to a drive source 22 via a gear 21, and is attached to a fixed block 23 so as to be rotatable about a pin 24. FIG. 6 is a side view of the chuck 2o when it rotates to pick up parts.

The operation of this embodiment configured as above will be explained.

First, if an insertion error occurs at the insertion section, the chuck section 2
o is rotated via the gear 21 by the operation of the drive source 22 to return the component into the component holder 12, and then rotated in the opposite direction to return to the home position. Next, the lid 17 is closed by the drive source 19,
The movable part 16 of the component transfer unit 14 is rotated by the drive source 14, and the empty component holder next to the component holder that previously returned the component is at a position where it can receive the same component as the incorrectly inserted component. The machine stops at , and the parts are picked up by the parts separating section 10. At this point, the realignment of the parts starting with the incorrectly inserted part is completed. Then, the receiver is rotated to the position of the cross section 16 so that the incorrectly inserted component can be inserted by the component transfer section 13, and reinsertion begins.

Effects of the Invention As described above, in the present invention, the component to be inserted next to the incorrectly inserted component is temporarily returned to the component holder from which it was transferred.
Since the same parts can be held again in the part holder that transferred the mis-inserted parts and rearranged in the original insertion order, manual corrections are no longer required, productivity is increased, and the parts can be carried out in the same transfer section. Therefore, the configuration of the device can be simplified.
