Abstract
A mounting device which mounts an electronic component onto a substrate with a simple configuration, is provided. The mounting device includes a holding part configured to hold an electronic component, and a regulating part configured to regulate a radial position of a lead of the electronic component. The regulating part is capable of regulating the position of the lead at a first part, and is capable of regulating the position of the lead at a second part more distant from the holding part than the first part. By the holding part and the regulating part moving relatively to each other while the holding part holding the electronic component, the regulating part moves between a position at which the position of the lead is regulated at the first part and a position at which the position of the lead is regulated at the second part.
Claims15
A mounting device, comprising:
- a holding structure including a first holding structure and a second holding structure that are configured to hold an electronic component;
- a body structure provided with a first protrusion and a second protrusion;
- and
- a regulating structure configured to regulate a radial position of a lead of the electronic component,
- wherein the regulating structure is configured to regulate the position of the lead at a first location, and is configured to regulate the position of the lead at a second location more distant from the first location,
- wherein, by the holding structure and the regulating structure moving relative to each other while the holding structure holds the electronic component, the regulating structure moves between a position at which the position of the lead is regulated at the first location and a position at which the position of the lead is regulated at the second location,
- wherein the regulating structure includes a first pinching structure and a second pinching structure, and the position of the lead is regulated by pinching the lead between the first pinching structure and the second pinching structure,
- wherein the first holding structure and the second holding structure are always located within a space defined by the first pinching structure and the second pinching structure, and the first pinching structure and the second pinching structure are curved so that a portion of the first pinching structure and a portion of the second pinching structure are located directly below the first holding structure and the second holding structure, and
- wherein the first holding structure has a first taper surface and the second holding structure has a second taper surface, and the first protrusion interacts with the first taper surface and the second protrusion interacts with the second taper surface to cause the first holding structure and the second holding structure to open and close.
