COMPONENT MOUNTING DEVICE

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a component mounting device which mounts a component picked up by an mounting head on a board positioned by a conveyor.

BACKGROUND ART

A component mounting device includes a conveyor which is arranged on a base and conveys and positions a board, a parts feeder which is attached to the base, and an mounting head which moves relative to the board which is positioned by the conveyor, picks up a component supplied from the parts feeder and mounts the component on the board which is positioned by the conveyor.

In the component mounting device, the parts feeder is provided on a carriage which is attached to the base. When the carriage is detached from the base in order to change the parts feeder due to the exhaustion of components, it is necessary to stop component mounting operations performed by the mounting head. Besides that, in case that the hand of an operator is inserted from the part of the base where the carriage is detached, it is unfavorable in safety that the mounting head is acting. Thus, it is preferred that the power supply to the driving part of the moving mechanism of the mounting head is interrupted. Further, even when a check door which is a part of a cover member that covers the base is opened by an operator or an emergency stop operating part is operated by an operator, the power supply to the above driving part is interrupted in view of securing the safety of the operator in operation (for example, a patent document 1).

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Problem to be Solved by the Invention

A dual lane type component mounting device, which includes two conveyors and two mounting heads, can perform mounting operations in a way that one mounting head performs component mounting operations on the board positioned by one conveyor and the other mounting head performs component mounting operations on the board positioned by the other conveyor. That is, component mounting operations (independent mounting operations) can be performed in a way that the two mounting heads independently perform component mounting operations respectively on two boards which are positioned by the two conveyors. If the above structure is applied to the dual lane type component mounting device, when one carriage is detached from the base in order to change the parts feeder due to the exhaustion of components, component mounting operations cannot be performed since not only the power supply to the mounting head at the side of detaching the carriage, but also the power supply to the mounting head at the other side where it is not feared that the hand of the operator is inserted from the part of the base where the carriage is detached, are interrupted. Thus, there is a problem that the operation efficiency may decrease remarkably.

The invention is intended to provide a component mounting device so that in the dual lane type component mounting device which performs independent mounting operations, while the decrease of the operation efficiency is prevented, the safety of an operator can be secured.

Solution for Solving the Problem

A component mounting device of this invention comprises a first conveyor and a second conveyor which are arranged so as to be extended in parallel on a base, and which convey and position boards, respectively, a first parts feeder which is attached to the first conveyor side of the base, a second parts feeder which is attached to the second conveyor side of the base, a first mounting head which moves relative to the board positioned by the first conveyor, picks up a component supplied from the first parts feeder and mounts the component on the board positioned by the first conveyor, a second mounting head which moves relative to the board positioned by the second conveyor, picks up a component supplied from the second parts feeder and mounts the component on the board positioned by the second conveyor, a first mounting head moving mechanism driving part which drives a first mounting head moving mechanism that is the moving mechanism of the first mounting head, a second mounting head moving mechanism driving part which drives a second mounting head moving mechanism that is the moving mechanism of the second mounting head, and an electric power supplying circuit which supplies electric power to the first mounting head moving mechanism driving part and the second mounting head moving mechanism driving part, wherein the electric power supplying circuit has a first electric power supply interrupting unit which, when a first operating part is operated, only interrupts the electric power supply to the first mounting head moving mechanism driving part among the electric power supplies of the electric power supplying circuit to the first mounting head moving mechanism driving part and the second mounting head moving mechanism driving part, and a second electric power supply interrupting unit which, when a second operating part is operated, only interrupts the electric power supply to the second mounting head moving mechanism driving part among the electric power supplies of the electric power supplying circuit to the first mounting head moving mechanism driving part and the second mounting head moving mechanism driving part.

In the component mounting device of this invention, wherein the first parts feeder is provided on a first carriage which is attached to the first conveyor side of the base while the second parts feeder is provided on a second carriage which is attached to the second conveyor side of the base, and the first operating part is operated when the first carriage which is attached to the base is detached from the base, while the second operating part is operated when the second carriage which is attached the base is detached from the base.

In the component mounting device of this invention, the electric power supplying circuit has a third electric power supply interrupting unit which, when a third operating part is operated, interrupts both the electric power supply of the electric power supplying circuit to the first mounting head moving mechanism driving part and the electric power supply of the electric power supplying circuit to the second mounting head moving mechanism driving part.

In the component mounting device of this invention, wherein the third operating part is operated when a part of a cover member which covers the base is opened or an emergency stop operating part is operated.

Effects of the Invention

In the present invention, the power supplying circuit which performs power supplies to the first mounting head moving mechanism driving part and the second mounting head moving mechanism driving part has the first electric power supply interrupting unit which only interrupts the power supply to the first mounting head moving mechanism driving part when the first operating part is operated, and the second electric power supply interrupting unit which only interrupts the power supply to the second mounting head moving mechanism driving part when the second operating part is operated. Therefore, if the first operating part is operated when one carriage (the first carriage) is detached from the base and the second operating part is operated when the other carriage (the second carriage) is detached from the base, when one carriage is detached from the base in order to change the parts feeder due to the exhaustion of components, the component mounting operations of the conveyor and the mounting head at the side of detaching the carriage are stopped, but the component mounting operations of the conveyor and the mounting head at the other side are continued. Therefore, according to the present invention, while the decrease of the operation efficiency is prevented, the safety of an operator can be secured.

In the component mounting device 1, an operation performing part 40a to of a control device 40 (FIG. 3), which the component mounting device 1 includes, controls the operation of a front conveyor driving part 41a (FIG. 3) which includes an actuator such as a motor which is not shown in the figure so that the board 2 is conveyed and positioned to the predetermined operation position (the position shown in FIG. 1) by the front conveyor 13a. The operation performing part 40a of the control device 40 controls the operation of a rear conveyor driving part 41b (FIG. 3) which includes an actuator such as a motor which is not shown in the figure so that the board 2 is conveyed and positioned to the predetermined operation position (the position shown in FIG. 1) by the rear conveyor 13b.

The operation performing part 40a of the control device 40 makes the rear mounting head moving mechanism 24b to operate by controlling the operation of a rear mounting head moving mechanism driving part 45b (FIG. 3) which includes a rear X axis table driving part 43b (FIG. 3) which includes an actuator such as a motor which is not shown in the figure to make the rear X axis table 22b to move in the Y axis direction relative to the V axis table 21 and a rear moving stage driving part 44b (FIG. 3) which makes the rear moving stage 23b to move in the X axis direction relative to the rear X axis table 22b, so that the rear mounting head 16b moves in directions of a horizontal plane.

Thus,the front mounting head moving mechanism driving part 45a of the head moving robot 15 functions as a first mounting head moving mechanism driving part which drives the front mounting head moving mechanism 24a (the first mounting head moving mechanism) which is the moving mechanism of the front mounting head 16a, and the rear mounting head moving mechanism driving part 45b of the head moving robot 15 functions as a second mounting head moving mechanism driving part which drives the rear mounting head moving mechanism 24b (the second mounting head moving mechanism) which is the moving mechanism of the rear mounting head 16b.

The operation performing part 40a of the control device 40 controls the operation of a front nozzle driving mechanism 46a (FIG. 3) which includes an actuator which is not shown in the figure so that the adsorbing nozzles 16N which the front mounting head 16a includes move up and down and rotate around the up and down axis relative to the front mounting head 16a.

The operation performing part 40a of the control device 40 controls the operation of a front adsorbing mechanism 47a (FIG. 3) which includes an actuator which is not shown in the figure to supply a vacuum pressure to the absorbing nozzles 16N and release the supply of the vacuum pressure so that the components 4 are adsorbed (picked up) and desorbed (separated) by the adsorbing nozzles 16N of the front mounting head 16a. The operation performing part 40a of the control device 40 controls the operation of a rear adsorbing mechanism 47b (FIG. 3) which includes an actuator which is not shown in the figure to supply a vacuum pressure to the absorbing nozzles 16N and release the supply of the vacuum pressure so that the components 4 are adsorbed and desorbed by the adsorbing nozzles 16N of the rear mounting head 16b.

The operation performing part 40a of the control device 40 controls the imaging operations of the front board camera 17a and the rear board camera 17b and the imaging operations of the front component camera 18a and the rear component camera 18b (FIG. 3). After image data obtained by the imaging operations of the front board camera 17a and the rear board camera 17b and image data obtained by the imaging operations of the front component camera 18a and the rear component camera 18b are stored in an image data storage part 40b of the control device 40 (FIG. 3), the image data are processed to be recognized in an image recognition part 40c of the control device 40 (FIG. 3).

In the component mounting device 1 of the present embodiment, as described above, the component 4 supplied from the front parts feeder 14a is picked up and mounted by the front mounting head 16a on the board 2 positioned by the front conveyor 13a, and the component 4 supplied from the rear parts feeder 14b is picked up and mounted by the rear mounting head 16b on the board 2 positioned by the rear conveyor 13b. Below, the front conveyor 13a, the front parts feeder 14a and the front mounting head 16a are referred as a “front operating part”, and the rear conveyor 13b, the rear parts feeder 14b and the rear mounting head 16b are referred to as a “rear operating part”. The component mounting operation of mounting the component 4 on the board 2 performed by the front operating part is referred to as a “mounting operation of the front operating part”, and the component mounting operation of mounting the component 4 on the board 2 performed by the rear operating part is referred to as a “mounting operation of the rear operating part”.

In the mounting operation of the front operating part, after the board 2, which has been cast from another device (for example, a solder printing machine) placed at the upstream of the component mounting device 1, is imported and positioned at a predetermined operation position by the front conveyor 13a, the operation performing part 40a of the control device 40 makes the front board camera 17a (the front mounting head 16a) to move to be above the board 2 by actuating the head moving robot 15, and makes the front board camera 17a to image a board mark (not shown in the figure) that is provided on the board 2. After the front board camera 17a images the board mark, the image recognition part 40c of the control device 40 performs image recognition based on the obtained image data.

After the image recognition of the board mark is performed by the image recognition part 40c, the operation performing part 40a of the control device 40 calculates a positional deviation of the board 2 from the normal operation position based on the image recognition result.

After the positional deviation of the board 2 is calculated, the operation performing part 40a of the control device 40 makes the front mounting head 16a to move to be above the front parts feeder 14a by actuating the head moving robot 15, and makes the adsorbing nozzle 16N to touch the component 4 which is supplied at the component takeout port 14p of the front parts feeder 14a. At the same time, the operation performing part 40a of the control device 40 controls the operation of the front adsorbing mechanism 47a so that a vacuum pressure is supplied to the adsorbing nozzle 16N and the component 4 is adsorbed (picked up) by the adsorbing nozzle 16N.

After the component 4 is adsorbed by the adsorbing nozzle 16N, the operation performing part 40a of the control device 40 makes the front mounting head 16a to move so that the adsorbed component 4 passes over the front component camera 18a, and makes the front component camera 18a to image the component 4 from below. After the front component camera 18a images the component 4, the image recognition part 40c of the control device 40 performs image recognition based on the obtained image data.

After the image recognition of the component 4 is performed by the image recognition part 40c of the control device 40, the operation performing part 40a of the control device 40 detects whether there is an abnormality (deformation or defect) of the component 4 based on the obtained image recognition result, and calculates the adsorption deviation of the component 4 relative to the adsorbing nozzle 16N.

After the component 4 is detected and the adsorption deviation of the component 4 is calculated, the operation performing part 40a of the control device 40 makes the front mounting head 16a to move to be above the board 2, makes the component 4 which is adsorbed by the adsorbing nozzle 16N to contact to a target mounting site (solder is printed on an electrode 3 at the target mounting site by a solder printing machine arranged at the upstream of the component mounting device 1) on the board 2 by controlling the operation of the front nozzle driving mechanism 46a, releases the supply of the vacuum pressure to the adsorbing nozzle 16N by controlling the operation of the front adsorbing mechanism 47a, and mounts the component 4 on the board 2.

When the component 4 is mounted on the board 2, the operation performing part 40a of the control device 40 performs position revision (including rotary revision) of the adsorbing nozzle 16N relative to the board 2 (so that the position deviation and the adsorption deviation are cancelled) based on the calculated position deviation of the board 2 and the adsorption deviation of the component 4 relative to the adsorbing nozzle 16N.

The operation performing part 40a of the control device 40 repeats the steps from picking up the component 4 to mounting the component 4 on the board 2 until all components 4 that should be mounted on the board 2 have been mounted. After all components 4 that should be mounted on the board 2 have been mounted on the board 2, the operation performing part 40a of the control device 40 makes the front conveyor 13a to be actuated so that the board 2 is exported to another device (for example, a post-mounting inspection machine) which is arranged at the downstream of the component mounting device 1.

The procedures of performing the mounting operation of the rear operating part are exactly the same as the procedures of performing the mounting operation of the front operating part. The mounting operation of the front operating part and the mounting operation of the rear operating part are performed independently from each other.

In the middle of the above component mounting operation, an operator may perform an operation of changing a parts feeder (the front parts feeder 14a or the rear parts feeder 14b) due to the exhaustion of components or an operation of checking a conveyor (the front conveyor 13a or the rear conveyor 13b) or an mounting head (the front mounting head 16a or the rear mounting head 16b) by opening a check door (the front check door 12a or the rear check door 12b).

However, when the first electric power supply interrupting part 53 is located at the circuit interrupting position, because the electric power from the power source 51 is not supplied to the front mounting head moving mechanism driving part 45a and the front mounting head 16a cannot be moved, the mounting operation of the front operating part cannot be performed, and when the second electric power supply interrupting part 54 is located at the circuit interrupting position, because the electric power from the power source 51 is not supplied to the rear mounting head moving mechanism driving part 45b and the rear mounting head 16b cannot be moved, the mounting operation of the rear operating part cannot be performed. When the third electric power supply interrupting part 55 is located at the circuit interrupting position, because the electric power from the power source 51 is not supplied to both the front mounting head moving mechanism driving part 45a and rear mounting head moving mechanism driving part 45b, both the mounting operation of the front operating part and the mounting operation of the rear operating part cannot be performed.

Thus, with the component mounting device 1 in the present embodiment, when the front carriage 19a is detached from the base 11, because the front mounting head 16a cannot be moved, even if the hand of the operator is inserted from the part of the base 11 where the front carriage 19a is detached, the safety of the operator in operation is secured. On the other hand, because the movement of the rear mounting head 16b can be continued, the operation efficiency is not reduced.

Likewise, when the rear carriage 19b is detached from the base 11, because the rear mounting head 16b cannot be moved, even if the hand of the operator is inserted from the part of the base 11 where the rear carriage 19b is detached, the safety of the operator in operation is secured. On the other hand, because the movement of the front mounting head 16a can be continued, the operation efficiency is not reduced.

As described above, the component mounting device 1 in the present embodiment includes the electric power supplying circuit 52 which supplies electric power to the front mounting head moving mechanism driving part 45a and the rear mounting head moving mechanism driving part 45b. The electric power supplying circuit 52 has the first electric power supply interrupting part 53 which, when the front carriage connection switch 71a which is the first operating part is operated when the front carriage 19a that is attached to the base 11 is detached from the base 11 (when the first operating part is operated), only interrupts the electric power supply to the front mounting head moving mechanism driving part 45a among the electric power supplies of the electric power supplying circuit 52 to the front mounting head moving mechanism driving part 45a and the rear mounting head moving mechanism driving part 45b, and the second electric power supply interrupting part 54 which, when the rear carriage connection switch 71b which is the second operating part is operated when the rear carriage 19b that is attached to the base 11 is detached from the base 11 (when the second operating part is operated), only interrupts the electric power supply to the rear mounting head moving mechanism driving part 45b among the electric power supplies of the electric power supplying circuit 52 to the front mounting head moving mechanism driving part 45a and the rear mounting head moving mechanism driving part 45b.

Thus, in the component mounting device 1 of the present embodiment, the electric power supplying circuit 52 which supplies electric power to the front mounting head moving mechanism driving part 45a and the rear mounting head moving mechanism driving part 45b has the first electric power supply interrupting part 53 which, when the front carriage connection switch 71a is operated, only interrupts the electric power supply to the front mounting head moving mechanism driving part 45a, and the second electric power supply interrupting part 54 which, when the rear carriage connection switch 71b is operated, only interrupts the electric power supply to the rear mounting head moving mechanism driving part 45b. The front carriage connection switch 71a is operated when one carriage (the front carriage 19a) is detached from the base 11, and the rear carriage connection switch 71b is operated when the other carriage (the rear carriage 19b) is detached from the base 11. When the front carriage 19a is detached from the base 11 in order to change the front parts feeder 14a due to the exhaustion of components or the rear carriage 19b is detached from the base 11 in order to change the rear parts feeder 14b due to the exhaustion of components, the component mounting operation of the conveyor and the mounting head at the side of detaching the carriage is stopped, but the component mounting operation of the conveyor and the mounting head at the other side is continued. Therefore, while the decrease of the operation efficiency is prevented, the safety of the operator can be secured.

In the above embodiment, the first electric power supply interrupting part 53 only interrupts the power supply to the front mounting head moving mechanism driving part 45a when the front carriage connection switch 71a is operated, but it is also possible to interrupt the power supplies to not only the front mounting head moving mechanism driving part 45a but also the front conveyor driving part 41a (even the power supply to other sites associated with the component mounting operation of the front operating part). Likewise, in the above embodiment, the second electric power supply interrupting part 54 only interrupts the power supply to the rear mounting head moving mechanism driving part 45b when the rear carriage connection switch 71b is operated, but it is also possible to interrupt the power supplies to not only the rear mounting head moving mechanism driving part 45b but also the rear conveyor driving part 41b (even the power supply to other sites associated with the component mounting operation of the rear operating part).

In the component mounting device 1 of the present embodiment, the electric power supplying circuit 52 has the third electric power supply interrupting part 55 which are the third electric power supply interrupting unit which, when the front check door 12a or the rear check door 12b which are a part of the cover member 12 which covers the base 11 is opened so that the front check door opening and closing switch 72a or the rear check door opening and closing switch 72b is operated or the front emergency stop switch 73a or the rear emergency stop switch 73b which are the emergency stop operating parts is operated (when the third operating part is operated), interrupts both the electric power supply of the electric power supplying circuit 52 to the front mounting head moving mechanism driving part 45a and the electric power supply of the electric power supplying circuit 52 to the rear mounting head moving mechanism driving part 45b. Thus, when the front check door 12a or the rear check door 12b is opened or the front emergency stop switch 73a or the rear emergency stop switch 73b is operated, the safety of the operator is secured.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the first operating part is what is operated when the front carriage 19a is detached from the base 11 (the front carriage connection switch 71a), and the second operating part is what is operated when the rear carriage 19b is detached from the base 11 (the rear carriage connection switch 71b), but the first operating part and the second operating part may be what is operated when other requirements are met.

Likewise, the third operating part is what is operated when any one of the front check door opening and closing switch 72a, the rear check door opening and closing switch 72b, the front emergency stop switch 73a and the rear emergency stop switch 73b is operated, but the third operating part may be what is operated when other requirements are met.

This application is based on the Japanese patent application (patent application 2011-001744) filed on Jan. 7, 2011, whose content is incorporated herein by reference.
