A belt (89) is stretched over the output shaft pulley (87) of the drive motor (86) and the positioning unit (88), The positioning claw is not rotatable. The positioning devices (84) and (85) in the positioning stations (E) and (F) will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 and 13 by taking the device (84) as an example. Positioning device (8
4) has two positioning units (90) (91),

Next, regarding the structure of the positioning unit (90) (91),
A description will be given based on the figure. When the pusher (103) is lifted by a cam (not shown), the pin (104) serves as a fulcrum
Since the opening / closing plate (105) rotates in the direction to open the positioning claw (106), the second opening / closing plate (107) also uses the pin (108) as a fulcrum in conjunction with the rotation of the first opening / closing plate (105). It rotates to open its claw (109). When the pusher (103) descends, both pawls (106) (109) are closed by a spring (111) whose one end is supported by a fixed part (110), and a chip part (15) sucked by a suction nozzle (31). Then, the component (15) is positioned by sandwiching. Although there are four positioning claws per unit, the opening and closing of the other pair of claws (112) (113) has the same structure. Further, (114) is a stopper, and the opening / closing plate (10
This is to limit the closing direction of 5). The positioning claws (106) (109) (112) (113) are in the rotating direction of the chip component (15) sucked by the suction nozzle (31) during rotation of the turntable (10). That is, the drive motor (96) rotates the component (15) in a direction in which the component (15) is attached to the printed circuit board.
Then, when the suction nozzle (31) descends, positioning is performed only by the centering operation.

Further, as shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, most of the chip parts (15) have a symmetrical shape, so that the chip parts (15)
If the suction nozzle (31) is rotated as described above so that the chip component (15) is rotated 180 degrees in advance, when it is mounted on the printed circuit board by rotating 180 degrees, the claws (106) (109). ) (112) (113) need not be rotated during rotation of the turntable (10).

As described above, when the chip part (15) passes through the positioning stations (D), (E), and (F), the positioning unit (88) (90) (91) (11) at any of the stations.
5) The positioning is performed by either (116), but which unit is selected depends on the size and shape of the chip component (15) and is selected according to the program of the control device.
In addition, in the stations other than the selected station, the suction nozzle (31) does not descend due to a mechanism (not shown), and the positioning unit that is not selected does not operate.

Next, FIG. 17 shows displacements of the suction nozzle (31) at the upper and lower levels. The work stations (A), (D), (E),
In (F) and (J), in order to perform each work, the cam surface (22) is separated and the vertical movement is performed. this is,
This can be achieved by disposing an upper and lower rail (not shown) which is connected to or descends from the cam surface (22) at a portion where the cam surface (22) is interrupted.

In addition, work stations (A), (B), (C),
In (D), (E), (F), and (G), positioning units (88) and (9) for positioning the chip component (15) are used.
Photo sensor (11) as presence detecting means for detecting the presence or absence of 0), (91), (115), (116) and the component (15).
7), (118) and the photo sensor (119) as a detection means that can be swung by the drive motor (120) to detect the intake posture, are located below the suction nozzle (31), so that the above-mentioned components are at a high level. (15) must be transported, and in particular at the station (J), the suction nozzle (31) must be moved down to just above the printed board because of mounting the chip component (15) on the printed board.

Therefore, at the station (I), it was lowered to the Z level at once, and the next station (J) was started from the Z level. For its structure, see 18th
A detailed description will be given with reference to FIGS. 19, 19 and 20. In FIG. 18, the state of the work stations (H) and (I) is shown from the right, but the suction that has traveled from the station (H) to the cam surface (22) by the rotation of the turntable (10). The roller (24) at the upper end of the head (31) transfers to the upper and lower rails (121) and is carried to the next station (I). The structure of the upper and lower rails (121) will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20. The upper and lower rails (121) can swing about a pin (122) as a fulcrum, are urged by a spring (123), and are provided with stoppers (12) protruding from the upper and lower rails (121).
The state in which 4) is in contact with the shaft (125) is the upper state in FIG. The shaft (125) is moved up and down by a cam drive mechanism (not shown) to move the vertical rail (121) up and down via the pin (122). Further, a rotatable roller (126) is attached to the end of the upper and lower rails (121), and a pressing member (127) pushes down the roller (126) to move the upper and lower rails (126) as shown in FIG. Roller (24) separates from 121). That is, the cam surface (22) of the cylindrical cam member (20) is interrupted at the portion where the upper and lower rails (121) are arranged, and the one end side and the other end side of the interrupted portion have a vertical positional relationship. Since there is a significant difference, the upper and lower rails (121) are arranged at the discontinuous portions and moved up and down. Then, in the state shown in FIG. 19, the cam surface (22A) on the one end side located above and the upper and lower rails (1
21) is at the same level, and then the roller (24) moves onto the upper and lower rails (121), and then the upper and lower rails (121) descend together with the shaft (125), so that the upper and lower rails (121) move to the lower cam surface ( 22B) and the same level. When the roller (24) rides on the lower cam surface (22B), the state of the station (J) is reached. At this time, when the pressing member (127) presses down the roller (126), as shown in FIG. Then, the upper and lower rails (121) are rotated, and then the rails (121) rise to the same level as the upper cam surface (22A) and the pressing member (127) also moves above the roller (126). Further, in the present embodiment, an example in which the upper and lower rails (121) are used for connecting from the upper side to the lower side is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and when connecting from the lower side to the upper side when there is a difference in the vertical positional relationship. May be used for.

In addition, in this embodiment, the chip part (15) is provided with a nail (10
6) Press with (109) (112) (113), X-axis direction, Y
Although the positioning is performed in the axial direction and the driving motor (96) is used to perform the positioning in the θ direction via the belt (98), the position of the chip component (15) is not limited to this but is optically detected. The position of the θ direction may be corrected by rotating the suction nozzle (31) and the position of the X axis direction and the Y axis direction may be corrected by the XY table (4).

The operation will be described below with the above configuration. First, when the printed circuit board is placed on the supply conveyor (2) and conveyed to reach the position below the transfer device (3), the conveyor (2) is stopped. Then, the pair of feed claws (7) and (8) are pivotally lowered with the rail (6) as a fulcrum, and the right claw (7) is located at the left end of the printed board on the XY table (4). (8) is engaged with the left end of the printed circuit board conveyed by the conveyor (2). After that, the transfer device (3) moves along the rail (6),
The substrate is transferred from the supply conveyor (2) to the XY table (4), and the substrate on the table (4) is transferred to the discharge conveyor (9) and moved to the right by the conveyor (9).

The printed circuit board is positioned on the XY table (4) by a positioning device (not shown), but the transfer device (3) raises the feed claws (7) and (8) to raise the rail (6).
Return to the original position along. The XY table (4) can be moved downward (as shown in FIG. 22) by a driving means (not shown) and moved in the front-back direction (Y-axis direction) and left-right direction (X-axis direction) (FIG. 23). See), turntable (10)
And it moves to the position below the positioning device (19). On the other hand, among a plurality of tape supply units (18) arranged side by side on the component supply table (13), an arbitrary unit (18) is supplied along the rail (14) so as to face the turntable (10). The stand (13) has already moved, and the reel (1)
The tape (16) wound around the tape (16) has its upper surface film peeled by a peeling mechanism (not shown) so that the chip component (15) is located directly below the suction nozzle (31).

Here, the index unit (11) is rotated by the motor, and the turntable (10) is intermittently rotated.

First, in the suction station (A) which is the first working station, the lower end of the suction nozzle (31) sucks and chucks the chip component (15) from the tape supply unit (18). At the station (A), the lower end of the suction nozzle (31) of the suction head (12) must be lowered to the height level of the tape (16), which is a break in the cam surface (22) of the cam member (20). This is done by placing a roller (24) at the upper end of the head (12) on a vertically movable upper and lower rail (not shown) arranged in the upper portion and lowering the upper and lower rail. This suction is performed by the suction nozzle (31) of the suction head (12), the filter (35), and the storage chamber (4 of the cylindrical body (27).
0), communication passage (44), communication chamber (43), joint (57) communicating with the communication chamber (43) through the seal packing (61), hose (42), connection hose (62), valve chamber (7
2), horizontal intake passage (64), central intake passage (6) of cylindrical part (21)
5) and a vacuum pump (not shown) are connected to form a vacuum circuit.

Next, the suction head (12) raised from the suction level moves to the second work station (B) via the roller (24) sliding on the cam surface (22) of the cam member (20). In this station (B), whether or not the suction nozzle (31) is sucking the chip component (15) is detected by the photo sensor (117) and the suction nozzle (31) is set in advance by a control device (not shown). This is to rotate the chip component (15) in the programmed direction by the rotating device while adsorbing the chip component (15). That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the rotary roller (50) is brought into pressure contact with the projection (51) of the suction nozzle (31) from the outside, and the drive motor (5
The rotation of (2) causes the rotation roller (50) to rotate by a predetermined angle via the belt (53). After this rotation, the rotating roller (50) separates from the suction nozzle (31). In this way, the chip component (15) is rotated in advance before the positioning so that it is oriented when mounted.

Next, in the station (C), in the second work station (B), the suction nozzle (31) is connected to the chip component (15).
When the photo sensor (117) detects that the adsorption head (12) is not adsorbed, the vacuum circuit to the adsorption head (12) is shut off by the switching valve (63). That is, when the roller (79) is pressed by the drive source (not shown) from the state shown in FIG. 11 to the state shown in FIG. 10, the second lever (76) swings and the second lever (75) moves to the second position. The roller (7) engaged with the recess (81)
8) goes over the protrusion (82) and engages with the first recess (80). Therefore, the first lever (75) also rotates clockwise, and the valve rod (66) moves so that the valve body (68) closes the laterally long intake passage (64) by the spring (69). As a result, the suction nozzle (31) is connected to the hose (42), the connection hose (62), the valve chamber (72), the lateral hole (71) of the valve rod (66), and the atmosphere connection passage (7).
0) to communicate with the atmosphere.

The next working station (D) (E) (F) is a positioning station for the chip component (15), whichever of the positioning stations (D) (E) (F) follows a predetermined program depending on the shape of the component (15). Which of the positioning units (88) (90) (91) (115) (116) is to be used for positioning is determined according to the position of the chip component (15) when it is sucked at the suction station (A). Has already been decided. For example, if the right positioning unit (91) is selected at the positioning station (E), the frame (93) is spaced by the drive cylinder (92) along the guide rail (95) via the rod (99). (L1) move, the position is determined by the forward limit stopper (102), and the nozzle (31) is located directly below the suction nozzle (31).
The unit (91) has already been moved before is reached. At this time, stations (D) and (F) become idle stations.

Regarding the positioning operation of this chip part (15)
A description will be given based on the figure. First, when the pusher (103) is lifted by a cam (not shown), the first and second opening / closing plates (105) (107) are respectively pushed against the spring (111) by the pins (104).
Claw (106) for positioning by rotating around (108) as a fulcrum
(109) (112) (113) opens. And the suction nozzle (3
1) is lowered by lowering a vertical rail (not shown) on which the roller (24) at the upper end of the suction head (12) is lowered,
When the pusher (103) descends, the claw (106)
(109) (112) (113) are sandwiched between them to perform positioning from four sides, and after the pusher (103) rises again, the upper and lower rails rise and the suction nozzle (31) also rises.
After this, the turntable (10) will be intermittently rotated for one minute.

Next, in the detection station (G), it is determined whether or not the suction nozzle (31) is sucking the chip component (15) and whether it is sucking at a normal position by the photosensors (118) and (119).
Detect with. The sensor (119) can be swung by the drive motor (120) and checks the suction posture of the chip component (15), but the presence or absence and the posture of the component may be detected by one sensor.

At the ninth work station (I), the suction nozzle (31)
Is rapidly lowered to the Z level, which will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20. First, in the state shown in FIG. 19, the upper cam surface (22A) and the upper and lower rails (121) are at the same level,
The roller (24) rides on the upper and lower rails (121), and then the upper and lower rails (121) descend together with the shaft (125) to be continuous with the lower cam surface (22B) at the same level. Then, when the roller (24) rides on the lower cam surface (22B), the pressing member (127) presses down the roller (126). Then the 20th
As shown in the figure, the upper and lower rails (121) rotate against the springs (123), and then the rails (121) ascend with the shaft (125) to reach the same level as the upper cam surface (22A). The pressing member (127) also moves above the roller (126) so as to be separated.

At the mounting station (J), which is the next tenth work station, the chip component (15) is mounted on the printed circuit board on the XY table (4). Therefore, the suction nozzle (31) is lowered to the substrate by the upper and lower rails (not shown) to perform this mounting.

That is, the photo sensor (117) is the chip component (15).
Detection sensor (G), the photo sensor (118) also detects the presence of the detection sensor (G), and the photo sensor (119) determines that the suction posture is normal. 63) is actuated, the oblong intake passage (64) is closed by the valve body (68), and the valve chamber (72) is opened to the atmosphere via the atmosphere communication passageway (70) of the valve rod (66) as shown in FIG. The valve rod (66) is mounted by being blown with high-pressure air from the atmospheric side end portion of the valve rod (66). Therefore, the photo sensor (117) (118)
Does not detect the presence of the chip component (15) or the sensor (119) determines that the suction posture is abnormal, the suction nozzle (31) does not descend and is not mounted.

The next stations (K) (L) (M) are idle stations. In the discharging station (N), the photosensors (117) and (118) detect the presence of the chip component (15) by the suction nozzle (31), but the photosensor (119) determines that the suction posture is abnormal. In this case, the chip component (15) is discharged by the lower end of the suction nozzle (31). That is, as described above, the vacuum circuit is shut off and high-pressure air is blown from the end of the valve rod (66).

At this time, dust such as dust sucked from the lower end of the suction nozzle (31) is blocked by the filter (35) and accumulated in the space (36) of the filter case (37). J) and discharge station (N)
When high-pressure air is blown in, the dust is discharged from the lower end of the nozzle (31), and the filter (35) and its surroundings are automatically cleaned. Therefore, when the vacuum circuit is formed next time, dust and the like will not be clogged in the circuit.

In the next station (O), which nozzle (31) of the three suction nozzles (31) of the suction head (12) is being used is detected by a sensor (not shown).

At the next nozzle selection station (P), which suction nozzle (31) (31) (31) is to be used next is selected based on the data programmed in the controller. For this selection, chip parts of the same shape and size (1
When 5) is used, the same suction nozzle (31) does not have to be used for selection, but the selection may be sequentially performed. Further, when a small chip-shaped component is used or a large chip-shaped component is used, it is possible to select to replace the suction nozzle corresponding thereto.

This selection operation, that is, the operation of the connection switching device (49) will be described. When the joint (57) is connected to another communication chamber (43), the lever (55) is rotated by a drive mechanism (not shown), The joint (57) and the claw (56) are separated from the cylindrical body (27) and the gear (30), respectively, and the gear (30)
A gear (not shown) meshes with the drive mechanism (not shown) to rotate the cylindrical body (27) through the bearing (29) by the gear. At the time of this rotation, the holding lever (46) engages the engaging member (48). ), All the suction nozzles (31) (31) (31) are lowered to perform the operation. Then, after the rotation of the cylindrical body (27), the lever (55) is rotated so that the joint (57) communicates with the communication chamber (43) corresponding to the suction nozzle (31) selected. ) And gear (30) are engaged, and seal packing (6
Completely sealed by 1). In addition, the presser lever (4
6) is the flange surface (47) of the other two suction nozzles (31)
The suction nozzle (31) is raised by the spring (45). The next station (Q) (R) is an idle station.

(G) Effect of the Invention Conventionally, when moving from one work station to the next work station and there is a significant difference in the vertical positional relationship and the amount of vertical movement increases, the diameter of the turntable is increased to perform work. It was necessary to increase the number of idle stations and to gradually move the suction nozzle up and down, but according to the present invention, the vertical positional relationship of the cam surfaces formed over substantially the entire circumference of the cylindrical cam member is made different. By providing a discontinuous portion and vertically moving the upper and lower rails, the cam surface can be rapidly moved up and down from one end side to the other end side, so that the diameter of the turntable can be made small. Therefore, the inertia of the turntable is reduced and the turntable can be rotated at high speed. Further, since the turntable has a small diameter, the number of idle stations that do not work is reduced, the work efficiency is improved, and the device is downsized. Further, since the vertical movement is performed when the intermittent rotation of the turntable is stopped, the vertical movement time has a margin, and the vertical movement does not have to be performed quickly, so that the chip component sucked by the suction nozzle does not drop.
