Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a tape reel holding member and a component supply device, and more particularly to a tape reel holding member and a component supply device including a pair of side plates that sandwich a tape reel disposed at a tape reel disposition position. Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, there have been known a tape reel holding member and a component supply device including a pair of side plates that sandwich a tape reel disposed at a tape reel replacement position (tape reel disposition position) (for example, see Patent Document 1).

[0003] In the tape reel holder (tape reel holding member) disclosed in Patent Document 1 described above, a pair of side plates includes one side plate and the other side plate. The one side plate has a central axis that protrudes toward the other side plate. The central axis is configured to hold the tape reel rotatably by inserting into a central hole of the tape reel inserted into the tape reel holder.

[0004] In the tape reel holder of Patent Document 1 described above, an operator inserts the central axis of the one side plate into the central hole of the tape reel by avoiding the central axis and inserting the tape reel into the tape reel holder. Thereby, the tape reel is rotatably mounted in the tape reel holder.

[0008] Technical Problem to be Solved by the Invention

[0009] However, in the tape reel holder of Patent Document 1 described above, it is considered that the tape reel may get caught on the central axis when the tape reel is inserted into the tape reel holder. In this case, in the tape reel holder (tape reel holding member) of Patent Document 1, it becomes difficult to insert the tape reel into the tape reel holder, and thus there is a problem that it is difficult to set the tape reel in the tape reel holder (tape reel holding member).

[0010] The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and provides a tape reel holding member and a component supply device that can easily set a tape reel in the tape reel holding member by making it easy to insert the tape reel into the tape reel holding member.

[0011] In order to achieve the above object, the tape reel holding member in the first aspect of the present invention includes: a pair of side plates that sandwich and hold a tape reel disposed at the tape reel disposition position and around which an element supply tape is wound, the element supply tape being provided with elements to be mounted on a substrate; and a tape reel support portion that is provided so as to be able to support the central hole of the tape reel disposed at the tape reel disposition position, and is provided on one of the pair of side plates and not on the other side plate. The tape reel support portion includes a guiding portion that is provided on the side opposite to the insertion direction of inserting the tape reel into the tape reel disposition position and guides the tape reel toward the tape reel disposition position. The guiding portion has a guiding inclined surface that inclines toward one side plate as it faces the direction opposite to the insertion direction.

[0012] In the tape reel holding member according to the first aspect of the present invention, the tape reel support portion is provided as described above. A guiding portion for guiding the tape reel toward the tape reel disposition position is provided in the tape reel support portion. Further, a guiding inclined surface that inclines toward one side plate as it faces the direction opposite to the insertion direction is provided in the guiding portion. Thus, when the tape reel is inserted into the tape reel holding member, the end portion of the tape reel abuts against the guiding inclined surface, and the tape reel moves along the guiding inclined surface. As a result, it is difficult for the tape reel to get caught on the guiding inclined surface, and thus the tape reel can be easily inserted into the tape reel disposition position. Consequently, the tape reel can be easily inserted into the tape reel holding member, and thus the tape reel can be easily set in the tape reel holding member.

[0013] In the tape reel holding member according to the above first aspect, preferably, the start point of the inclination of the guiding inclined surface on the side opposite to the insertion direction is on the same plane as the surface on the other side plate side in one side plate, or is located on the side opposite to the other side plate side with respect to the surface on the other side plate side in one side plate. With such a configuration, no gap is formed between the surface on the other side plate side in one side plate and the guiding inclined surface. Therefore, when the tape reel is inserted into the tape reel disposition position, it is possible to prevent the end portion of the tape reel from being caught in the above gap. As a result, the tape reel can be smoothly inserted into the tape reel disposition position, and thus the tape reel can be more easily set in the tape reel holding member.

[0014] In this case, preferably, one side plate has a through hole that penetrates in the direction in which the pair of side plates face each other, and the guiding portion is inserted into the through hole in a state where the front end portion of the guiding portion is disposed on the side opposite to the other side plate side with respect to the edge portion on the other side plate side of the through hole in the direction in which the pair of side plates face each other. With such a configuration, no gap is surely formed between the edge portion on the other side plate side of the through hole and the guiding inclined surface. Therefore, when the tape reel is inserted into the tape reel disposition position, it is possible to more reliably prevent the end portion of the tape reel from being caught in the above gap.

[0015] In the tape reel holding member having one side plate provided with the through hole described above, preferably, the guide portion restricts rotation about the rotation center axis along the direction in which the pair of side plates face each other by abutting against the inner surface of the through hole. With such a configuration, the position of the guide portion in the circumferential direction about the rotation center axis can be maintained, and thus it is difficult for the above-described positional deviation of the guide portion in the circumferential direction caused by the abutment of the tape reel against the guide portion to occur. As a result, the positional deviation of the guide inclined surface can be suppressed, and thus the tape reel can be reliably guided by the guide inclined surface.

[0016] In the tape reel holding member according to the first aspect described above, preferably, the tape reel support portion further includes an engaging portion provided on the insertion direction side and engaging with the inner peripheral surface of the center hole of the tape reel so as to prevent the tape reel held at the tape reel arrangement position from floating. With such a configuration, even when the tape reel floats due to the force of the pulling element supply tape, the engaging portion engages with the inner peripheral surface of the center hole of the tape reel, and thus it is possible to prevent the tape reel from accidentally detaching from the tape reel holding member.

[0017] In this case, preferably, the engaging portion has an arcuate engaging surface provided on the insertion direction side and engaging with the inner peripheral surface of the center hole of the tape reel. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the tape reel from floating and to smoothly rotate the tape reel along the arcuate engaging surface, and thus it is possible to reliably prevent the supply of elements based on the tape reel from stopping.

[0018] In the tape reel holding member according to the first aspect described above, preferably, in the insertion direction, the length of one side plate is greater than the length of the other side plate, and in the direction opposite to the insertion direction, the tape reel support portion is disposed closer to the front end portion of one side plate than the front end portion of the other side plate. With such a configuration, a space for the tape reel to pass through can be ensured between the tape reel support portion and the other side plate, and thus it is possible to more easily insert the tape reel into the tape reel arrangement position.

[0019] In the tape reel holding member according to the first aspect described above, preferably, the guide inclined surface is inclined with respect to one side plate by 35 degrees or more and 50 degrees or less. With such a configuration, when the tape reel is inserted along the guide inclined surface, the end portion of the tape reel can move more smoothly on the guide inclined surface. Further, by inclining the guide inclined surface with respect to one side plate by 35 degrees or more and 50 degrees or less, the height (the amount of protrusion from one side plate) of the tape reel support portion does not become too low, and thus it is possible to bring the tape reel into contact with the guide inclined surface and to easily insert the tape reel into the tape reel arrangement position.

[0020] In the tape reel holding member of the first aspect described above, preferably, in the direction in which the pair of side plates face each other, the length of the tape reel support portion is greater than or equal to the gap between the tape reel disposed at the tape reel placement position and the other side plate and less than or equal to the relative interval between the pair of side plates. With such a configuration, since the length of the tape reel support portion is greater than or equal to the gap between the tape reel disposed at the tape reel placement position and the other side plate, even if the tape reel disposed at the tape reel placement position moves in the direction in which the pair of side plates face each other, it is possible to prevent the tape reel from detaching from the tape reel support portion. Further, since the length of the tape reel support portion is less than or equal to the relative interval between the pair of side plates, compared with the case where the length of the tape reel support portion is greater than the interval between the pair of side plates, the tape reel support portion is less likely to become an obstacle when inserting the tape reel into the tape reel placement position, and thus it is possible to easily insert and remove the tape reel with respect to the tape reel placement position.

[0021] In this case, preferably, the relative interval between the pair of side plates is such that the tape reel detaches from the tape reel support portion in a state where the tape reel is taken out from the tape reel placement position in a direction opposite to the insertion direction and the tape reel is tilted toward the other side plate. With such a configuration, when taking out the tape reel from the tape reel placement position, it is possible to remove the tape reel from the tape reel support portion only by tilting the tape reel, and it is possible to take out the tape reel from the tape reel holding member, and thus it is possible to easily perform the operation of taking out the tape reel from the tape reel placement position.

[0022] In the tape reel holding member of the first aspect described above, preferably, a plurality of tape reels are arranged in a direction orthogonal to the insertion direction and the direction in which the pair of side plates face each other, and a plurality of tape reel support portions are arranged in accordance with the tape reel placement positions of the plurality of tape reels. With such a configuration, it is easy to insert the tape reel at any of the tape reel placement positions of the plurality of tape reels, and thus it is possible to easily perform the operation of inserting the tape reel.

[0023] In the tape reel holding member of the first aspect described above, preferably, the tape reel holding member further includes an abutting portion that abuts against the outer peripheral portion of the tape reel so that the tape reel disposed at the tape reel placement position can rotate. The abutting portion supports the tape reel by abutting against the outer peripheral portion of the tape reel so that the tape reel can rotate in a state where the tape reel held at the tape reel placement position does not float in a direction away from the tape reel placement position, and the tape reel support portion supports the tape reel by abutting against the inner peripheral surface of the central hole of the tape reel so that the tape reel can rotate in a state where the tape reel held at the tape reel placement position floats in a direction away from the tape reel placement position. With such a configuration, the tape reel can rotate in either the state where the tape reel is not floating or the state where the tape reel is floating, and thus it is possible to prevent the supply of components based on the tape reel from stopping.

[0024] The component supply device in the second aspect of the present invention includes: a reel holding member that can hold a reel wound with a component supply tape, on which components to be mounted on a substrate are arranged; and a feeder unit that sends out the component supply tape arranged on the reel holding member to a component supply position. The reel holding member includes: a pair of side plates that sandwich the reel arranged at the reel arrangement position; and a reel support portion that is provided so as to support the central hole of the reel arranged at the reel arrangement position, and is provided on one of the pair of side plates and not on the other side plate. The reel support portion includes a guiding portion that is provided on the opposite side of the insertion direction in which the reel is inserted into the reel arrangement position, guides the reel to the reel arrangement position, and guides the reel support portion to the central hole of the reel. The guiding portion has a guiding inclined surface that inclines toward one side plate as it faces the direction opposite to the insertion direction.

[0025] In the component supply device of the second aspect of the present invention, the reel support portion is provided as described above. In the reel support portion, a guiding portion is provided that guides the reel to the reel arrangement position and guides the reel support portion to the central hole of the reel. Further, in the guiding portion, a guiding inclined surface is provided that inclines toward one side plate as it faces the direction opposite to the insertion direction. Thus, when the reel is inserted into the reel holding member, the end of the reel abuts against the guiding inclined surface, and the reel moves along the guiding inclined surface, whereby the reel can be inserted into the reel arrangement position. As a result, the reel can be easily inserted into the reel holding member, and thus a component supply device that can easily set the reel on the reel holding member can be obtained.

[0068] Hereinafter, embodiments for embodying the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

[0069] Refer to Figure 1 to explain the outline of the component mounting apparatus 100.

[0070] As Figure 1 shown, the component mounting apparatus 100 is configured to mount electronic components 11 such as ICs, transistors, capacitors, and resistors onto a substrate 15 such as a printed circuit board.

[0071] Here, in the component mounting apparatus 100, the conveyance direction of the conveyance substrate 15 is set as the X1 direction, the opposite direction of the conveyance direction of the conveyance substrate 15 is set as the X2 direction, and the direction combining the X1 direction and the X2 direction is set as the X direction. Further, the direction orthogonal to the X direction in the horizontal direction is the Y direction, one of the Y directions is set as the Y1 direction, and the other of the Y directions is set as the Y2 direction. Further, the vertical direction orthogonal to the X direction and the Y direction is set as the Z direction (vertical direction), one of the Z directions is set as the Z1 direction (upward), and the other of the Z directions is set as the Z2 direction (downward). It should be noted that the X direction is an example of the "direction in which a pair of side plates face each other" in the technical solution.

[0072] The component mounting apparatus 100 includes a base 1, a substrate conveyance unit 2, a component supply device 3, a support unit 4, a rail unit 5, a head unit 6, a component recognition camera 7, and a substrate recognition camera 8.

[0073] The base 1 is a base that serves as a foundation for arranging each component in the component mounting apparatus 100. On the base 1, as components, a substrate conveyance unit 2, a rail unit 5, and a component recognition camera 7 are provided. Further, on the base 1, feeder arrangement portions 1a capable of arranging the component supply device 3 are provided on both sides in the Y direction (Y1 direction side and Y2 direction side).

[0074] The substrate conveyance unit 2 is configured to carry in the substrate 15 from the outside of the component mounting apparatus 100 and convey the substrate 15 in the conveyance direction (X1 direction). The substrate conveyance unit 2 includes a pair of conveyor units 21 and a drive motor (not shown) for driving the pair of conveyor units 21 to rotate. Each of the pair of conveyor units 21 has a pulley (not shown) and an endless conveyance belt wound around the pulley.

[0075] The component supply device 3 is configured to supply electronic components 11 to be mounted on the substrate 15. Specifically, the component supply device 3 includes tapes 12, and a plurality (two) of them are arranged in the X direction on the Y1 direction side and the Y2 direction side. Each of the plurality (four) of component supply devices 3 includes a tape 12 on which electronic components 11 such as ICs, transistors, and capacitors to be mounted on the substrate 15 are arranged. Further, the component supply device 3 intermittently supplies the electronic components 11 to a predetermined component supply position 13 near the pair of conveyors. It should be noted that the tape 12 is an example of the "component supply tape" in the technical solution.

[0076] The component supply device 3 is as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a reel 14 around which a tape 12 holding electronic components 11 at a predetermined interval is wound is held. The component supply device 3 rotates the reel 14 and feeds out the tape 12 on which the electronic components 11 are arranged, thereby supplying the electronic components 11 from the component supply position 13 (front end portion). It should be noted that a detailed description of the component supply device 3 will be given later.

[0077] As Figure 1 shown, the support portion 4 is configured to support the head unit 6 so as to be movable in the X direction. Specifically, the support portion 4 includes a ball screw shaft 41 extending in the X direction and an X-axis motor 42 that rotates the ball screw shaft 41. A ball nut (not shown) that engages with the ball screw shaft 41 of the support portion 4 is provided in the head unit 6. The head unit 6 is configured to rotate the ball screw shaft 41 by the X-axis motor 42, and thereby be movable in the X direction together with the ball nut that engages with the ball screw shaft 41.

[0078] The rail portion 5 is configured to support the support portion 4 so as to be movable in the Y direction. Specifically, the rail portion 5 includes a ball screw shaft 51 extending in the Y direction and a Y-axis motor 52 that rotates the ball screw shaft 51. A ball nut (not shown) that engages with the ball screw shaft 51 of the rail portion 5 is provided in the support portion 4. The support portion 4 is configured to rotate the ball screw shaft 51 by the Y-axis motor 52, and thereby be movable in the Y direction together with the ball nut that engages with the ball screw shaft 51.

[0079] With this structure, the head unit 6 is configured to be movable on the base 1 in a horizontal plane (in the X direction and the Y direction).

[0080] The head unit 6 is a head unit 6 for component mounting, and is configured to move in the Z1 direction (upward) of the substrate 15 and perform a predetermined operation (mounting operation) on the substrate 15. That is, the head unit 6 is configured to mount the electronic components 11 on the substrate 15 fixed at the operation position.

[0081] Specifically, the head unit 6 includes a mounting head 61. The mounting head 61 is configured to hold the electronic components 11 and mount the electronic components 11 on the substrate 15. A plurality (4) of mounting heads 61 are arranged in a row in the X direction.

[0082] The component identification camera 7 is a camera for component photographing that photographs the electronic components 11 held (adsorbed) by the nozzle before the electronic components 11 are mounted on the substrate 15. The component identification camera 7 is fixed to the base 1. The component identification camera 7 is configured to photograph the electronic components 11 held (adsorbed) by the nozzle from below (in the Z2 direction) of the electronic components 11.

[0083] The substrate recognition camera 8 is installed on the mounting head 61 and is a camera for photographing fiducial marks (not shown) attached to the upper surface of the substrate 15 before the electronic component 11 is mounted on the substrate 15. The fiducial marks are marks for confirming the position of the substrate 15.

[0084] (Detailed structure of the component supply device)

[0085] As Figure 2 And Figure 3 As shown, the component supply device 3 includes a feeder unit 3a, a device main body unit 3b, and a reel holding member 3c. The component supply device 3 can hold a plurality of feeder units 3a. The reel holding member 3c can hold a plurality of reels 14.

[0086] Here, in the component supply device 3, after the supply of the electronic component 11 based on the tape 12 of the preceding reel 14 is completed, the supply of the electronic component 11 based on the tape 12 of the subsequent reel 14 automatically starts. Then, at an arbitrary timing, in the component supply device 3, the operator removes the preceding reel 14 from which the supply of the electronic component 11 has ended, and the operator moves the subsequent reel 14 to the position where the preceding reel 14 was disposed. And, at an arbitrary timing, in the component supply device 3, the operator supplies a new reel 14 to the position where the subsequent reel 14 is disposed.

[0087] The feeder unit 3a is an automatic feeder. The feeder unit 3a is configured to send out the tape 12 disposed on the reel holding member 3c to the component supply position 13. The feeder unit 3a is installed on the device main body unit 3b. The device main body unit 3b is configured to have a carriage, enabling the component supply device 3 to move. The device main body unit 3b separately includes a plurality of reel holders 3d for holding the reels 14 from the reel holding member 3c.

[0088] Here, the reel 14 has a disk-shaped outer shape as Figure 4 shown. A central hole 14a penetrating in the X direction (the thickness direction of the reel 14) is formed in the central portion of the reel 14.

[0089] As Figure 5 shown, the reel holding member 3c is configured to be able to hold the reel 14 at a portion other than the reel holders 3d. Specifically, the reel holding member 3c includes a mounting member 31, a storage portion 32, a sliding portion 33, and a reel support portion 34.

[0090] The mounting member 31 is configured to be detachably mounted on an existing reel holder 3d provided in the device main body 3b. Specifically, the mounting member 31 engages with a first support rod 3e and a second support rod 3f disposed within the existing reel holder 3d to mount the reel holding member 3c within the existing reel holder 3d. Thus, the reel holding member 3c is an attachment-type member that uses the mounting member 31.

[0091] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the storage portion 32 is configured to store the sliding portion 33 in a manner that allows the sliding portion 33 to slide in the Y direction. That is, the storage portion 32 is configured to store the portion of the sliding portion 33 on the Y2 direction side within itself when the sliding portion 33 is disposed on the Y2 direction side (forward position).

[0092] Specifically, the storage portion 32 includes a pair of side plates 132 and a plurality of connecting members (not shown). The pair of side plates 132 includes one side plate 132a on the X2 direction side and the other side plate 132b on the X1 direction side. The plurality of connecting members are disposed between the one side plate 132a and the other side plate 132b. The plurality of connecting members connect the one side plate 132a and the other side plate 132b in the X direction. Thereby, a storage space is formed between the one side plate 132a and the other side plate 132b.

[0093] The sliding portion 33 is mounted on the storage portion 32 in a manner that allows relative sliding movement with respect to the storage portion 32. That is, the sliding portion 33 is configured to reciprocate between a position on the Y2 direction side (forward position (refer to Figure 6 )) and a position on the Y1 direction side (rearward position (refer to Figure 7 ))). And the sliding portion 33 is configured to support the reel 14 at the reel placement position 9.

[0094] Specifically, the sliding portion 33 includes a pair of side plates 33a, a first abutting portion 33b, and a second abutting portion 33c. Here, the reel placement position 9 indicates the position where the reel 14 is held in the reel holding member 3c. It should be noted that the first abutting portion 33b and the second abutting portion 33c are examples of the "abutting portion" in the technical solution.

[0095] The pair of side plates 33a includes one side plate 133 on the X2 direction side, another side plate 233 on the X1 direction side, and one side plate 333 on the X2 direction side. In the Z direction, the length H1 of the one side plate 133 is greater than the length H2 of the another side plate 233.

[0096] The one side plate 133 has a first through hole 133a (refer to Figure 9 ) and a second through hole 133b (refer to Figure 9)。The first through-hole 133a and the second through-hole 133b penetrate through one side plate 133 in the X direction. One set of the first through-hole 133a and the second through-hole 133b is arranged at a position corresponding to the reel support portion 34. The set of the first through-hole 133a and the second through-hole 133b is arranged on the Y1 direction side. A fastening member 35 for mounting the reel support portion 34 is inserted into the first through-hole 133a (refer to Figure 9 ). A part on the Z1 direction side of the reel support portion 34 is inserted into the second through-hole 133b. It should be noted that the second through-hole 133b is an example of the "through-hole" in the technical solution.

[0097] One side plate 333 has a first through-hole (not shown) and a second through-hole (not shown) in the same manner as one side plate 133. The first through-hole and the second through-hole penetrate through one side plate 333 in the X direction. One set of the first through-hole and the second through-hole is arranged at a position corresponding to the reel support portion 34. The set of the first through-hole and the second through-hole is arranged on the Y2 direction side. A fastening member (not shown) for mounting the reel support portion 34 is inserted into the first through-hole. A part on the Z1 direction side of the reel support portion 34 is inserted into the second through-hole. It should be noted that the second through-hole is an example of the "through-hole" in the technical solution.

[0098] Moreover, one side plate 333 is arranged adjacent to the X1 direction side of one side plate 132a and one side plate 133. That is, when viewed from the X1 direction side, one side plate 333 has a part overlapping with one side plate 132a. And, when viewed from the X1 direction side, one side plate 333 has a part overlapping with one side plate 133. Thus, when one side plate 333 inclines toward the X2 direction side, one side plate 333 is supported by one side plate 132a and one side plate 133, and thus it is possible to prevent one side plate 333 from inclining.

[0099] The first abutting portion 33b and the second abutting portion 33c are arranged between one side plate 133 and the other side plate 233. The first abutting portion 33b and the second abutting portion 33c connect one side plate 133 and the other side plate 233 in the X direction.

[0100] The first abutting portion 33b is a roller. The first abutting portion 33b abuts against the outer peripheral portion 14b of the reel 14 (refer to Figure 5 ) in such a manner that the reel 14 arranged at the first reel arrangement position 91 can rotate. The first abutting portion 33b is arranged on the Y1 direction side. The second abutting portion 33c abuts against the outer peripheral portion 14b of the reel 14 in such a manner that the reel 14 arranged at the second reel arrangement position 92 can rotate. The second abutting portion 33c is arranged on the Y2 direction side. The second abutting portion 33c has an abutting surface 331 provided on the Y1 direction side and a groove 332 provided on the Y2 direction side.

[0101] Here, a plurality (two) of tape reel arrangement positions 9 are provided in the Y direction. The tape reel arrangement position 9 on the Y1 direction side is the first tape reel arrangement position 91. The first tape reel arrangement position 91 is formed by one side plate 133, another side plate 233, a first abutting portion 33b, and an abutting surface 331. In this way, the one side plate 133 and the another side plate 233 clamp the tape reel 14 arranged at the first tape reel arrangement position 91. The tape reel arrangement position 9 on the Y2 direction side is the second tape reel arrangement position 92. The second tape reel arrangement position 92 is formed by another side plate 132b, one side plate 333, and a groove 332. In this way, the another side plate 132b and the one side plate 333 clamp the tape reel 14 arranged at the second tape reel arrangement position 92. At the second tape reel arrangement position 92, the another side plate 233 is not provided.

[0102] 〈Tape Reel Support Portion〉

[0103] As Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the tape reel support portion 34 of the present embodiment has the function of guiding the tape reel 14 when inserting the tape reel 14 into the tape reel arrangement position 9, and has the function of preventing the tape reel 14 arranged at the tape reel arrangement position 9 from floating up.

[0104] Here, the tape reel support portions 34 are provided at the first tape reel arrangement position 91 and the second tape reel arrangement position 92. Here, a plurality (two) of tape reels 14 are arranged in a direction (hereinafter referred to as the F direction) orthogonal to the insertion direction (hereinafter set as the E1 direction) and the X direction. A plurality (two) of tape reel support portions 34 are arranged in accordance with the tape reel arrangement positions 9 of the plurality of tape reels 14. That is, one tape reel support portion 34 is arranged on one side plate 133. And, one tape reel support portion 34 is arranged on one side plate 333. It should be noted that the insertion direction refers to the direction when an operator on the side opposite to the feeder portion 3a in the Y direction makes the tape reel 14 abut against the tape reel holding member 3c and inserts it, not the direction when an operator on the feeder portion 3a side in the Y direction inserts the tape reel 14. And, the direction along the F direction is a broader concept that includes not only the direction parallel to the F direction but also the direction inclined with respect to the F direction (for example, the Y direction).

[0105] The structures of the tape reel support portions 34 respectively provided at the first tape reel arrangement position 91 and the second tape reel arrangement position 92 are the same. Therefore, in the following description, only the tape reel support portion 34 arranged at the first tape reel arrangement position 91 ( Figure 7 the A2 portion thereof) is described.

[0106] When the tape reel support portion 34 inserts the tape reel 14 toward the first tape reel placement position 91, the tape reel support portion 34 supports the tape reel 14 from the Z2 direction side and guides it toward the tape reel placement position 9. Further, when the tape reel 14 disposed at the first tape reel placement position 91 floats toward the Z1 direction side, the tape reel support portion 34 abuts against and supports the inner peripheral surface 14c of the center hole 14a of the tape reel 14 (see Figure 4 ) from the Z1 direction side, thereby preventing the floating of the tape reel 14. That is, the tape reel support portion 34 is provided so as to be able to support the center hole 14a of the tape reel 14 disposed at the tape reel placement position 9.

[0107] Such a tape reel support portion 34 is provided on one of the pair of side plates 33a, i.e., the side plate 133, but not on the other side plate 233. In the direction opposite to the E1 direction (hereinafter referred to as the E2 direction), the tape reel support portion 34 is disposed on the side of the front end portion 133c of the one side plate 133 closer than the front end portion 233a of the other side plate 233. That is, the tape reel support portion 34 is disposed on the Z1 direction side closer than the front end portion 233a of the other side plate 233.

[0108] As Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, the tape reel support portion 34 has a fixing hole 341, a guiding portion 342, and an engaging portion 343. The fixing hole 341 is recessed toward the X1 direction side of the tape reel support portion 34. The fixing hole 341 and the first through hole 133a communicate with each other in the X direction. An internal thread portion for screwing a fastening member 35 inserted into the first through hole 133a is formed in the fixing hole 341.

[0109] The guiding portion 342 is configured to guide the tape reel 14 toward the first tape reel placement position 91 and guide the tape reel support portion 34 toward the center hole 14a of the tape reel 14. That is, by bringing the end portion on the Z2 direction side of the tape reel 14 into contact with the guiding portion 342 and inserting it toward the first tape reel placement position 91, the tape reel support portion 34 is inserted into the center hole 14a of the tape reel 14. The guiding portion 342 is provided on the side opposite to the E1 direction in which the tape reel 14 is inserted into the first tape reel placement position 91. It should be noted that the side opposite to the E1 direction (insertion direction) is a portion on the E2 direction side, which is the direction opposite to the E1 direction.

[0110] Specifically, the guiding portion 342 has a guiding inclined surface 342a that is inclined toward the one side plate as it faces the E2 direction. The guiding inclined surface 342a is configured to guide the tape reel 14 along the extending direction of the surface (guiding direction). That is, due to the guiding inclined surface 342a, the guiding portion 342 has a tapered shape with a decreasing thickness as it faces the E2 direction. Here, the guiding inclined surface 342a has a tapered shape with a decreasing width in the F direction as it faces the Z1 direction when viewed from the X1 direction side.

[0111] Further, the guiding inclined surface 342a has a contour that intersects with the arcuate engaging surface 343a. The guiding inclined surface 342a is a substantially flat surface along the E1 direction without a step in the E1 direction. Thus, the guiding portion 342 has a frustum of a cone shape.

[0112] The guiding inclined surface 342a is inclined at a predetermined angle θ with respect to one side plate 133. The predetermined angle θ is preferably 35 degrees or more and 50 degrees or less with respect to one side plate 133, and more preferably about 40 degrees.

[0113] The length of the guiding portion 342 in the E1 direction is such that when the tape reel 14 is inserted, the tape reel 14 will not be inserted between the front end portion 342b on the side opposite to the E1 direction of the guiding portion 342 and one side plate 133.

[0114] Specifically, the starting point P1 of the inclination on the side opposite to the E1 direction in the guiding inclined surface 342a is located on the side opposite to the side of the other side plate 233 with respect to the surface 134 of one side plate 133. That is, the starting point P1 of the inclination on the side opposite to the E1 direction in the guiding inclined surface 342a is located on the outer side (X2 direction side) with respect to the inner surface 134 of one side plate 133. Here, the inner side refers to the central side of the tape reel holding member 3c in the X direction. And the outer side refers to the side opposite to the central side of the tape reel holding member 3c in the X direction.

[0115] Further, in a state where the front end portion 342b of the guiding portion 342 is disposed on the side opposite to the side of the other side plate 233 with respect to the edge portion 133d on the other side plate 233 side of the second through hole 133b in the X direction, the guiding portion 342 is inserted into the second through hole 133b. In a state where the front end portion 342b of the guiding portion 342 is disposed on the outer side (X2 direction side) with respect to the edge portion 133d on the inner side of one side plate 133 of the second through hole 133b in the X direction, the guiding portion 342 is inserted into the second through hole 133b. Here, the front end portion 342b of the guiding portion 342 and the starting point P1 of the inclination of the guiding inclined surface 342a coincide. It should be noted that the front end portion 342b of the guiding portion 342 and the starting point P1 of the inclination of the guiding inclined surface 342a may not coincide.

[0116] The guiding portion 342 restricts rotation about the rotation center axis C1 along the X direction by abutting against the inner surface 133e of the second through hole 133b. That is, the guiding portion 342 has a rotation prevention function of preventing the tape reel support portion 34 from rotating about the rotation center axis C1. Specifically, when the tape reel support portion 34 rotates, in the F direction orthogonal to the E1 direction and the X direction, the end portion 342c on the F1 direction side of the guiding portion 342 abuts against the inner surface 133f on the F1 direction side of the second through hole 133b. When the tape reel support portion 34 rotates, in the F direction orthogonal to the E1 direction and the X direction, the end portion 342d on the F2 direction side of the guiding portion 342 abuts against the inner surface 133g on the F2 direction side of the second through hole 133b.

[0117] Thus, in the F direction, the maximum guiding length L2 is slightly smaller than the length L1 of the second through hole 133b. It should be noted that in the F direction orthogonal to the E1 direction and the X direction, the maximum guiding length L2 may also be substantially the same as the length L1 of the second through hole 133b.

[0118] As Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown, the engaging portion 343 is configured to be provided on the E1 direction side and engage with the inner peripheral surface 14c of the center hole 14a of the tape reel 14 in such a manner as to prevent the tape reel 14 held at the first tape reel placement position 91 from floating up.

[0119] Here, in the tape reel holding member 3c, in a state where the tape reel 14 held at the first tape reel placement position 91 floats in the Z1 direction (the direction away from the tape reel placement position 9) (hereinafter referred to as the floating-up state), only the engaging portion 343 abuts against the tape reel 14 among the engaging portion 343, the first abutting portion 33b, and the abutting surface 331. That is, the tape reel support portion 34 supports by abutting against the inner peripheral surface 14c of the center hole 14a of the tape reel 14 in such a manner that the tape reel 14 can rotate in the floating-up state. And, the first abutting portion 33b does not abut against the outer peripheral portion 14b of the tape reel 14 in the floating-up state (see Figure 13 ). And, the abutting surface 331 does not abut against the outer peripheral portion 14b of the tape reel 14 in the floating-up state (see Figure 14 ).

[0120] Thus, the distance M1 between the end portion on the first abutting portion 33b side of the engaging portion 343 and the end portion on the engaging portion 343 side of the first abutting portion 33b is a distance larger than the radius D1 of the tape reel 14. And, the distance M2 between the end portion on the abutting surface 331 side of the engaging portion 343 and the abutting surface 331 is a distance larger than the radius D1 of the tape reel 14.

[0121] As Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, the engaging portion 343 has an arcuate engaging surface 343a. The engaging surface 343a is provided on the side opposite to the guiding inclined surface 342a in the E1 direction and engages with the inner peripheral surface 14c of the central hole 14a of the tape reel 14. Also, the arcuate engaging surface 343a engages with the inner peripheral surface 14c of the central hole 14a of the tape reel 14 in a state where the tape reel 14 can rotate. That is, the engaging surface 343a not only functions as an engaging member but also functions as a rotation axis of the tape reel 14.

[0122] Specifically, the arcuate engaging surface 343a extends along a direction (X1 direction) perpendicular to one side plate 133 and is formed along the R1 direction around the rotation center axis C1. Also, the arcuate engaging surface 343a is configured to be in line contact with the inner peripheral surface 14c of the central hole 14a of the tape reel 14 in a state where the tape reel 14 floats (rises) in the Z1 direction in a manner that does not hinder the rotation of the tape reel 14. That is, the radius D2 of the arcuate engaging surface 343a with respect to the rotation center axis C1 is smaller than the radius D3 of the central hole 14a of the tape reel 14. It should be noted that the radius D2 (radius of curvature) of the arcuate engaging surface 343a may be substantially the same as the radius D3 of the central hole 14a of the tape reel 14.

[0123] Also, as Figure 15 shown, in the tape reel holding member 3c, in a state where the tape reel 14 held at the first tape reel arrangement position 91 does not float in the Z1 direction (the direction away from the tape reel arrangement position 9) (hereinafter referred to as the normal state), both the first abutting portion 33b and the abutting surface 331 among the engaging portion 343, the first abutting portion 33b, and the abutting surface 331 abut against the tape reel 14. That is, the first abutting portion 33b supports by abutting against the outer peripheral portion 14b of the tape reel 14 in a manner that allows the tape reel 14 to rotate (refer to Figure 16 ). Also, the abutting surface 331 supports by abutting against the outer peripheral portion 14b of the tape reel 14 in a manner that allows the tape reel 14 to rotate (refer to Figure 17 ). Also, the engaging portion 343 does not abut against the inner peripheral surface 14c of the central hole 14a of the tape reel 14 in the normal state (refer to Figure 18 and Figure 19 ).

[0124] Thus, as Figure 11 and Figure 18As shown, in either the floating state or the normal state, the tape reel holding member 3c is configured such that the engaging portion 343, the first abutting portion 33b, and the abutting surface 331 do not all abut against the tape reel 14. That is, in the Z direction, a gap M3 is formed between the inner peripheral surface 14c of the central hole 14a of the tape reel 14 and the tape reel support portion 34. And in the X direction, a gap M4 is formed between the inner peripheral surface 14c of the central hole 14a of the tape reel 14 and the tape reel support portion 34. The gap M4 is set by cutting out the end portion on the Y2 direction side of the tape reel support portion 34.

[0125] As Figure 20 and Figure 21 shown, in the Z direction, a passage space 344 for the tape reel 14 to pass through is formed between the tape reel support portion 34 and the other side plate 233. The passage space 344 is a space having a height dimension obtained by subtracting the length H2 from the front end portion 233a on the Z1 direction side of the other side plate 233 to the end portion on the Z2 direction side of the sliding portion 33 from the length H3 from the end portion on the Z2 direction side of the sliding portion 33 to the end portion 343c on the Z2 direction side of the tape reel support portion 34 in the Z direction. And the passage space 344 is a space having a length dimension obtained by subtracting the length L4 of the tape reel support portion 34 from the interval L3 between one side plate 133 and the other side plate 233 in the X direction. The passage space 344 preferably has a height dimension and a length dimension such that the tape reel 14 can easily pass through.

[0126] Specifically, in the X direction, in order to easily insert the tape reel 14, the length L4 of the tape reel support portion 34 is equal to or less than the interval L3 between the pair of side plates 33a. It should be noted that in the X direction, in order to easily insert the tape reel 14, the length L4 of the tape reel support portion 34 is preferably equal to or less than about half of the interval L3 between the pair of side plates 33a. Moreover, in the X direction, in order to be able to remove the tape reel 14 in a state where the tape reel 14 is tilted, the length L4 of the tape reel support portion 34 is further preferably equal to or less than about 1 / 3 of the interval L3 between the pair of side plates 33a.

[0127] The tape reel support portion 34 is configured to prevent the rotating tape reel 14 from detaching in both the normal state and the floating state. That is, the tape reel support portion 34 has at least a length dimension L4 that allows the wobbling of the tape reel 14 accompanying the rotation of the tape reel 14. Specifically, in the X direction, the length L4 of the tape reel support portion 34 is equal to or greater than the gap L5 between the tape reel 14 disposed at the tape reel disposition position 9 and one of the pair of side plates.

[0128] (Method of Inserting the Tape Reel into the First Tape Reel Disposition Position)

[0129] Referring Figures 22 to 25 , the method of inserting the tape reel 14 into the first tape reel disposition position 91 will be described. As Figure 22As shown, the operator usually inserts the spool 14 into the first spool placement position 91 from the obliquely upper direction on the Y1-direction side and Z1-direction side of the first spool placement position 91. That is, as Figure 23 shown, the operator makes the end portion on the Z2-direction side of the spool 14 abut against one side plate 133 and inserts the spool 14 obliquely downward.

[0130] And, as Figure 24 shown, when the end portion on the Z2-direction side of the spool 14 reaches the spool support portion 34, the end portion on the Z2-direction side of the spool 14 moves along the guiding inclined surface 342a toward the X1-direction side and moves toward the Z2-direction side. When the end portion on the Z2-direction side of the spool 14 passes over the spool support portion 34, the end portion on the Z2-direction side of the spool 14 moves toward the X2-direction side and moves toward the Z2-direction side. Thus, as Figure 25 shown, the spool 14 is inserted into the first spool placement position 91.

[0131] It should be noted that after the spool 14 is inserted into the first spool placement position 91, as Figure 26 shown, in the case where the spool 14 floats upward in the Z1-direction, the engaging portion 343 of the spool support portion 34 engages with the inner peripheral surface 14c of the central hole 14a of the spool 14, thereby preventing the spool 14 from floating upward.

[0132] (Method for removing the spool inserted in the first spool placement position)

[0133] With reference to Figure 27 and Figure 28 , a method for removing the spool 14 inserted in the first spool placement position 91 will be described. As Figure 27 shown, the operator tilts the spool 14 toward the X1-direction by tilting the end portion on the Z1-direction side of the spool 14 toward the X1-direction. At this time, the operator exposes the spool support portion 34 from the central hole 14a of the spool 14. Then, the operator, as Figure 28 shown, removes the spool 14 from the first spool placement position 91 by raising the spool 14 in the Z1-direction while tilting the spool 14 toward the X1-direction.

[0134] (Method for inserting the spool into the second spool placement position)

[0135] With reference to Figure 29 and Figure 30 , a method for inserting the spool 14 into the second spool placement position 92 will be described. As Figure 29 shown, the operator slidably moves the sliding portion 33 to the retracted position. Then, the operator usually inserts the spool 14 into the first spool placement position 91 from the obliquely upper direction on the Y1-direction side and Z1-direction side of the first spool placement position 91. After the operator has performed Figures 23 to 25After the steps shown, the sliding part 33 is slid to the forward position. Thereby, the tape reel 14 is inserted into the second tape reel placement position 92.

[0136] (Method for removing a tape reel inserted in the second tape reel placement position)

[0137] In the method for removing the tape reel 14 inserted in the second tape reel placement position 92, after the operator slides the sliding part 33 to the backward position, the operator performs Figure 27 and Figure 28 the steps shown, thereby removing the tape reel 14 from the second tape reel placement position 92.

[0138] (Effects of the embodiment)

[0139] In the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

[0140] In the present embodiment, as described above, a guiding inclined surface 342a that inclines toward one side plate 133 as it faces the E2 direction is provided in the guiding part 342. Thereby, when the tape reel 14 is inserted into the tape reel holding member 3c, the end of the tape reel 14 abuts against the guiding inclined surface 342a, and the tape reel 14 moves along the guiding inclined surface 342a. Thus, the tape reel 14 is less likely to get stuck on the guiding inclined surface 342a, and therefore the tape reel 14 can be easily inserted into the tape reel placement position 9. As a result, the tape reel 14 can be easily inserted into the tape reel holding member 3c, and thus the setting of the tape reel 14 to the tape reel holding member 3c can be easily performed.

[0141] Moreover, in the present embodiment, as described above, the starting point P1 of the inclination on the side opposite to the E1 direction in the guiding inclined surface 342a is located on the side opposite to the side of the other side plate 233 with respect to the surface 134 on the other side plate 233 side in one side plate 133. Thereby, no gap is formed between the surface 134 on the other side plate 233 side in one side plate 133 and the guiding inclined surface 342a. Therefore, when the tape reel 14 is inserted into the tape reel placement position 9, the end of the tape reel 14 can be prevented from being caught in the above-described gap. As a result, the tape reel 14 can be smoothly inserted into the tape reel placement position 9, and thus the setting of the tape reel 14 to the tape reel holding member 3c can be more easily performed.

[0142] Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, with the front end portion of the guide portion 342 disposed on the side opposite to the other side plate 233 side with respect to the edge portion 133d of the other side plate 233 side of the second through hole 133b in the X direction, the guide portion 342 is inserted into the second through hole 133b. Thus, a gap is surely not formed between the edge portion 133d of the other side plate 233 side of the second through hole 133b and the guide inclined surface 342a. Therefore, when the tape reel 14 is inserted into the tape reel placement position 9, the end portion of the tape reel 14 can be more reliably prevented from being caught in the above-described gap.

[0143] Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, rotation about the rotation center axis C1 along the X direction is restricted by bringing the guide portion 342 into contact with the inner surface 133e of the second through hole 133b. Thereby, the position of the guide portion 342 in the R1 direction about the rotation center axis C1 can be maintained. Therefore, it is difficult for the position of the guide portion 342 in the R1 direction to shift due to the contact between the tape reel 14 and the guide portion 342. As a result, the position shift of the guide inclined surface 342a can be suppressed, and thus the tape reel 14 can be reliably guided by the guide inclined surface 342a.

[0144] Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, an engaging portion 343 is provided in the tape reel support portion 34. The engaging portion 343 is provided on the E1 direction side and engages with the inner peripheral surface 14c of the center hole 14a of the tape reel 14 so as to prevent the tape reel 14 held at the tape reel placement position 9 from floating. Thus, even when the tape reel 14 floats due to the force of pulling the tape 12, the engaging portion 343 engages with the inner peripheral surface 14c of the center hole 14a of the tape reel 14, and therefore the tape reel 14 can be prevented from accidentally detaching from the tape reel holding member 3c.

[0145] Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, an arcuate engaging surface 343a is provided in the engaging portion 343. The engaging surface 343a is provided on the side opposite to the guide inclined surface 342a in the E1 direction and engages with the inner peripheral surface 14c of the center hole 14a of the tape reel 14. Thereby, the floating of the tape reel 14 can be prevented by the arcuate engaging surface 343a, and the tape reel 14 can smoothly rotate along the arcuate engaging surface 343a. Therefore, the component supply based on the tape reel 14 can be reliably continued without stopping.

[0146] Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the tape reel support portion 34 is disposed on the front end portion 133c side of one side plate 133 with respect to the front end portion 233a of the other side plate 233. Thereby, a passage space 344 for the tape reel 14 to pass through can be ensured between the tape reel support portion 34 and the other side plate 233, and thus the tape reel 14 can be more easily inserted into the tape reel placement position 9.

[0147] Also, in the present embodiment, as described above, the guide inclined surface 342a is inclined at 35 degrees or more and 50 degrees or less with respect to one side plate 133. Thereby, when the tape reel 14 is inserted along the guide inclined surface 342a, the end portion of the tape reel 14 can move more smoothly on the guide inclined surface 342a. Also, by inclining the guide inclined surface 342a at 35 degrees or more and 50 degrees or less with respect to one side plate 133, the height of the tape reel support portion 34 (the amount of protrusion from the one side plate 133) does not become too low, so that the tape reel 14 can be brought into contact with the guide inclined surface 342a and the tape reel 14 can be easily inserted into the tape reel arrangement position 9.

[0148] Also, in the present embodiment, as described above, in the X direction, the length L4 of the tape reel support portion 34 is set to be equal to or greater than the gap L5 between the tape reel 14 arranged at the tape reel arrangement position 9 and the other side plate 133 and equal to or less than the interval L3 between the pair of side plates 33a. Thereby, since the length L4 of the tape reel support portion 34 is equal to or greater than the gap L5 between the tape reel 14 arranged at the tape reel arrangement position 9 and the other side plate 133, even if the tape reel 14 arranged at the tape reel arrangement position 9 moves in the X direction, it is possible to suppress the tape reel 14 from detaching from the tape reel support portion 34. Also, since the length L4 of the tape reel support portion 34 is equal to or less than the interval L3 between the pair of side plates 33a, compared with the case where the length L4 of the tape reel support portion 34 is greater than the interval L3 between the pair of side plates 33a, the tape reel support portion 34 is less likely to become an obstacle when inserting the tape reel 14 into the tape reel arrangement position 9, so that the tape reel 14 can be easily inserted into and removed from the tape reel arrangement position 9.

[0149] Also, in the present embodiment, as described above, the relative interval L3 between the pair of side plates 33a is set to be the interval at which the tape reel 14 detaches from the tape reel support portion 34 in a state where the tape reel 14 is taken out from the tape reel arrangement position 9 in the E2 direction and the tape reel 14 is inclined toward the other side plate 233. Thereby, when taking out the tape reel 14 from the tape reel arrangement position 9, by simply inclining the tape reel 14, the tape reel support portion 34 can be detached from the tape reel 14, and the tape reel 14 can be taken out from the tape reel holding member 3c, so that the operation of taking out the tape reel 14 from the tape reel arrangement position 9 can be easily performed.

[0150] Also, in the present embodiment, as described above, a plurality of tape reel support portions 34 are arranged in accordance with the tape reel arrangement positions 9 of the plurality of tape reels 14. Thereby, it is easy to insert the tape reel 14 at any of the tape reel arrangement positions 9 of the plurality of tape reels 14, so that the operation of inserting the tape reel 14 can be easily performed.

[0151] Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the abutting portion supports the reel 14 held at the reel placement position 9 by abutting against the outer peripheral portion 14b of the reel 14 in a state where the reel 14 does not float in the direction away from the reel placement position 9 so that the reel 14 can rotate. The reel support portion 34 supports the reel 14 held at the reel placement position 9 in a state where the reel 14 floats in the direction away from the reel placement position 9 by abutting against the inner peripheral surface 14c of the center hole 14a of the reel 14 so that the reel 14 can rotate. Thus, the reel 14 can rotate in either the state where the reel 14 does not float or the state where the reel 14 floats, and thus it is possible to prevent the supply of components from stopping due to the reel 14.

[0152] Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the component supply device 3 is provided with a reel holding member 3c and a feeder unit 3a. The reel holding member 3c can hold the reel 14 around which the tape 12 is wound at the reel placement position 9, and the electronic components 11 to be mounted on the substrate 15 are arranged on the tape 12. The feeder unit 3a sends out the tape 12 arranged on the reel holding member 3c to the component supply position 13. Thus, when the reel 14 is inserted into the reel holding member 3c, the end portion of the reel 14 is brought into contact with the guide inclined surface 342a, and the reel 14 is moved along the guide inclined surface 342a, whereby the reel 14 can be inserted into the reel placement position 9, and the reel support portion 34 can be inserted into the center hole 14a of the reel 14. As a result, the reel 14 can be easily inserted into the reel holding member 3c, and thus a component supply device 3 that can easily set the reel 14 on the reel holding member 3c can be obtained.

[0154] It should be noted that all points of the embodiments disclosed this time should be regarded as examples and not restrictive content. The scope of the present invention is represented by the claims, rather than the description of the above embodiments, and also includes all changes (modification examples) within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims.

[0155] For example, in the present embodiment, as described above, an example is shown in which the guide inclined surface 342a is a curved surface whose circumferential length decreases as it goes in the direction of E2 (the direction opposite to the insertion direction), but the present invention is not limited to this. In the present invention, as Figure 31 and Figure 32 shown in the first modification example, the guide inclined surface 442a may also be a flat surface along the direction opposite to the insertion direction. And, as Figure 33 and Figure 34 shown in the second modification example, the guide inclined surface 542a may also be a curved surface having a substantially the same circumferential length in the direction opposite to the insertion direction. And, asFigure 35 and Figure 36 As in the third modification shown in Figure 36 , the guide inclined surface 642a may also have surfaces divided into a plurality in the R1 direction around the rotation center axis C1.

[0156] Moreover, in the present embodiment, as described above, an example is shown in which the tape reel support portion 34 is fixed to one side plate 133 by the fastening member 35, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In the present invention, as Figure 37 and Figure 38 As in the fourth modification shown in Figure 38 , the tape reel support portion 34 may also be fixed to one side plate 133 by a pin 736 whose rotation is prevented by an E-ring 735.

[0157] Moreover, in the present embodiment, as described above, an example is shown in which the start point P1 of the inclination on the opposite side of the E1 direction in the guide inclined surface 342a is located on the side opposite to the other side plate with respect to the surface 134 of one side plate facing the other side plate, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In the present invention, the start point of the inclination on the opposite side of the insertion direction in the guide inclined surface may be on the same surface as the surface on the other side plate side of one side plate.

[0158] Moreover, in the present embodiment, as described above, an example is shown in which the engaging portion 343 has an arcuate engaging surface 343a provided on the side opposite to the guide inclined surface 342a in the E1 direction and engaging with the inner peripheral surface 14c of the center hole 14a of the tape reel 14, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In the present invention, the engaging surface may be an inclined surface that inclines toward the other side plate as it goes toward the insertion direction, etc.

[0159] Moreover, in the present embodiment, as described above, an example is shown in which the guide portion 342 restricts rotation about the rotation center axis along the direction in which the pair of side plates face each other by abutting against the inner surface 133e of the through hole, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In the present invention, the guide portion may not restrict rotation.

[0160] Moreover, in the present embodiment, as described above, an example is shown in which the engaging portion 343 has an arcuate engaging surface 343a that engages with the inner peripheral surface 14c of the center hole 14a of the tape reel 14, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In the present invention, as Figure 39 As in the fifth modification shown in Figure 39 , a protruding portion 843b that protrudes along the E1 direction and engages with the inner peripheral surface 814c of the center hole 14a of the tape reel 814 may be formed in the engaging surface 843a. In this case, the protruding portion 843b abuts against a portion of the inner peripheral surface 814c of the tape reel 814 that is recessed outward. The portion of the engaging surface 843a other than the protruding portion 843b abuts against a portion of the inner peripheral surface 814c of the tape reel 814 that protrudes inward.

[0161] Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, an example is shown in which a pair of side plates 33a includes one side plate 133 on the X2 direction side, another side plate 233 on the X1 direction side, and one side plate 333 on the X2 direction side. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.
