Abstract
Part feeder (13) of the present disclosure includes body (41) that includes a component supply mechanism that supplies a component at component extraction position (13K), slot insertion portion (42) that slides in one direction along a slot provided at feeder base (22), fixed member (51) that protrudes in the one direction from the body, and is fixed to fixing mechanism (31) provided at feeder base (22), unfixing member (52) that performs an unfixing operation of operating fixing mechanism (31) to release the fixing of fixed member (51) by fixing mechanism (31), operation member (53) that is displaced by receiving an external force, and transmission mechanism (60) that transmits the displacement of the operation member to the unfixing member to perform the unfixing operation.
Claims16
A part feeder used by being attached to a slot of a feeder base included in a component mounting machine, the part feeder comprising:
- a body that includes a component supply mechanism that supplies a component at a component extraction position at which a mounting head included in the component mounting machine extracts the component;
- a slot insertion portion that is provided at the body, and slides in one direction to be inserted into the slot;
- a fixed member that protrudes in the one direction from the body, and is fixed to a fixing mechanism provided at the feeder base by sliding in the one direction;
- an unfixing member that performs an unfixing operation of operating the fixing mechanism to which the fixed member is fixed to release the fixing of the fixed member by the fixing mechanism;
- an operation member that is displaced by receiving an external force;
- and
- a transmission mechanism that transmits the displacement of the operation member to the unfixing member to perform the unfixing operation, wherein
- the fixing mechanism includes a stator biased in a push-down direction by an elastic member,
- the fixed member includes a recess opened upward, and
- the fixed member is fixed to the fixing mechanism by the stator coming into contact with the recess from above by an elastic force of the elastic member.
A component mounting machine that includes a part feeder that supplies a component, a feeder base that includes a slot in which the part feeder is mountable, and a mounting head that picks up the component supplied by the part feeder mounted on the slot and mounts the component on a board, the component mounting machine comprising a fixing mechanism for fixing the part feeder to the feeder base, wherein the part feeder includes
- a body that includes a component supply mechanism that supplies the component at a component extraction position at which the mounting head extracts the component,
- a slot insertion portion that is provided at the body, and slides in one direction to be inserted into the slot,
- a fixed member that protrudes in the one direction from the body, and is fixed to the fixing mechanism by sliding in the one direction,
- an unfixing member that performs an unfixing operation of operating the fixing mechanism to which the fixed member is fixed to release the fixing of the fixed member by the fixing mechanism,
- an operation member that is displaced by receiving an external force, and
- a transmission mechanism that transmits the displacement of the operation member to the unfixing member to perform the unfixing operation, wherein
- the fixing mechanism includes a stator biased in a push-down direction by an elastic member,
- the fixed member includes a recess opened upward, and
- the fixed member is fixed to the fixing mechanism by the stator coming into contact with the recess from above by an elastic force of the elastic member.
