Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a taped electronic component band, and more particularly to a taped electronic component band in which a plurality of electronic components such as capacitors and resistors or chip-type electronic components are attached to a tape body.

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a part of the taped electronic component band. The taped electronic component band 1 has a plurality of electronic components 2 fixedly arranged on a tape body 3 at regular intervals. The electronic component 2 taped in this manner has been widely used in recent years because it can be incorporated into an automatic insertion machine or the like and continuously supplied to a printed circuit board or the like. A plurality of feed holes 4 for feeding the taped electronic component strip 1 are provided in the tape body 3 at regular intervals. Conventionally, a storage body as shown in FIG. 2 has been proposed for supplying the taped electronic component strip 1 to an automatic machine or the like.

Although not shown, such a taped electronic component band 1 is wound, for example, around a reel or core, or simply wound in a spiral shape, and is housed in a case 11 as shown in FIG. 2. Then, the wound taped electronic component band 1 is pulled out from the drawer opening 12 provided in the case 11. And this taping electronic component band 1
is supplied to an automatic insertion machine (not shown), and the electronic component 2
is inserted into the printed circuit board as appropriate.

In this way, the electronic component band used in automatic insertion machines is
It is wound up and stored in the case 11, so it is not possible to easily check the used quantity or remaining amount. If the remaining amount is incorrectly grasped, the operating rate of the automatic insertion machine will decrease, which is undesirable.

Therefore, the main purpose of this invention is to provide a taped electronic component band whose remaining amount can be easily checked.

To summarize, this idea is to display the quantity on the tape constituting the taped electronic component band, especially at the beginning of the electronic component band, by color or with letters or marks, so that when the electronic component band is pulled out in use, the quantity is indicated. This allows you to check the remaining amount by looking at the quantity display.

The above objects and other objects and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a taped electronic component band in which this invention is implemented. Also in this embodiment, the taped electronic component band 1 includes an electronic component 2, a tape body 3, and a feed hole 4. Preferably, the area A from the beginning of the winding to, for example, the 25th piece.
The tape body 3 is colored in different colors in area B from the 26th piece to the 50th piece and area C from the 51st piece to the 100th piece. Therefore, when such an electronic component band 1 is pulled out from the case as shown in FIG. 2 described above, this area C-B
- You can check the sequential colors of A and easily understand the remaining amount.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the remaining amount is displayed in stages using multiple colors, but it is also possible to use only one color to display up to 100 items, for example. .

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the display is performed in different colors, which is most effective for human vision, but this may be displayed using characters, marks, or other figures. In the case of color-based display, a colored tape body (including adhesive tape) may be used without applying any special paint or the like.

Further, in the above embodiment, the electronic component has a lead wire, but the same method can be applied to a so-called chip-type electronic component that does not have a lead wire and is fixed to a tape body to form a taped electronic component band. Of course.

Furthermore, such a remaining amount indication can be used, for example, when the product is wound on a reel, or on a core without a reel, or simply spirally wound without using a reel or a core. Of course, it can also be applied to displaying the remaining amount in the same way even if the device is stored in a case in a meandering manner without being rolled up, and one end of the device is pulled out.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

FIG. 1 is a partially enlarged view showing a taped electronic component band, which is the background of this invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an example of a case in which a taped electronic component band is stored. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a taped electronic component band in which this invention is implemented. In the figure, 1 is a taping electronic component band, 2 is an electronic component, 3 is a tape body, 4 is a feed hole, 11 is a case, and 12 is a drawer opening.
