[0008] Technical solutions to solve problems

[0009] In the present disclosure, the following means are adopted to achieve the above-mentioned main object.

[0010] The leaf spring component disclosed in the present invention includes a plurality of mounting-related devices, including a mounting device for mounting a component on a processing object, arranged on a base, and the leaf spring component is used between the mounting-related devices configured to be able to slide on the base.

[0011] The leaf spring component comprises:

[0012] A fixing portion fixed to a housing of the installation-related device configured to be slidable on the base; and

[0013] A spring portion is formed in the first portion, the spring portion having a first conical surface and a second conical surface connected to the fixing portion and inclined in the sliding direction of the shell on the base, the spring portion being convex relative to the shell and being bent by contact with a component on the adjacent shell side.

[0014] The leaf spring component has a first conical surface and a second conical surface and a spring portion formed at a first position is fixed to a housing of the installation-related device through a fixing portion connected to the first position. Furthermore, the leaf spring component supports the adjacent housing via the spring portion. Therefore, the leaf spring component of the present disclosure can make the housing of the installation-related device slide smoothly through a relatively simple structure, and can further suppress the vibration of the housing.

[0021] Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 It is a schematic explanatory diagram showing an example of the mounting system 10 of the present disclosure. Figure 2 It is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the leaf spring member 30 disposed in the housing 17 . Figure 3 is a perspective view of the leaf spring component 30, Figure 3 (A) is a front view. Figure 3 (B) is a dorsal view. Figure 4 3 is an exploded perspective view of the leaf spring member 30. In addition, in the present embodiment, the left-right direction (X axis), the front-back direction (Y axis) and the up-down direction (Z axis) are as shown in FIG. Figure 1 shown.

[0022] The mounting system 10 is configured as a production line in which mounting devices 11 for mounting components P on the substrate S as a processing object are arranged along the conveying direction of the substrate S. Here, the processing object is described as the substrate S, but it is not particularly limited as long as it is a part on which the components P are mounted, and it may also be a three-dimensional base material. Figure 1As shown, the installation system 10 is constructed to include: a printing device 11, a printing inspection device 12, an installation device 13, an installation inspection device 14 and a management PC 15. The printing device 11, the printing inspection device 12, the installation device 13, and the installation inspection device 14 are equivalent to installation-related devices. In addition, in the installation-related devices, in addition to these, there can also be listed a storage device for a feeder that stores supply components, a conveying device for processing objects, a reflow soldering device for performing reflow soldering, etc. The installation-related device has: a base 16; and an installation module 20, which has a shell 17 arranged on the base 16 in a manner that can slide in a sliding direction D. The installation module 20 is pulled out to the front side of the device during internal operations such as inspection (refer to Figure 1 next paragraph).

[0023] The printing device 11 is a device for printing solder paste or the like as a viscous fluid on the substrate S. The printing inspection device 12 is a device for inspecting the state of the printed solder. The mounting device 13 is a device for mounting components P on the substrate S. The mounting inspection device 14 is a device for inspecting the state of the components P mounted by the mounting device 13. The management PC 15 is configured as a server for managing information of each device of the mounting system 10. For example, the mounting device 13 as a mounting-related device includes: a substrate processing unit 21, a component supply unit 22, a control device 23, and a mounting unit 24 in the mounting module 20. The substrate processing unit 21 is a unit for carrying in, conveying, fixing at the mounting position, and carrying out the substrate S. The component supply unit 22 is a unit for supplying components P to the mounting unit 20, and includes a feeder or a tray unit. The control device 23 controls the entire device and is a computer centered on a CPU. The mounting unit 24 is a unit for mounting components on the substrate, and includes: a head moving unit 25, a mounting head 26, and a pickup component 27. The head moving unit 25 moves the mounting head 26 forward, backward, left, and right. The mounting head 26 is detachably provided with a pickup member 27, and the component is picked up by the pickup member 27. The pickup member 27 may be, for example, a suction nozzle that picks up the component by suction with negative pressure, or a mechanical chuck that holds and picks up the component.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, a leaf spring member 30 is provided on the housing 17 of the mounting module 20. The leaf spring member 30 is a member used between the mounting modules 20 configured to slide on the base 16. When the housing 17 of the adjacent mounting module 20 is fixed to the base 16, the leaf spring member 30 is fixed at a position opposite to the leaf spring member 30 fixed to the adjacent housing 17. The mounting modules 20 support each other via the leaf spring member 30, thereby suppressing vibration, etc. Figure 2 to Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 , the leaf spring member 30 includes a first member 31 and a second member 32 . The leaf spring member 30 has a structure in which the first member 31 and the second member 32 are overlapped and joined at fixing portions 33 and 34 .

[0025] The first member 31 includes a fixing portion 33 and a first portion 35. The first member 31 is formed by bending a metal plate that is punched into a T-shape. Figure 4 The second member 32 is a plate-like body formed in a substantially L-shape. The second member 32 includes a fixing portion 34 and a second portion 36. The second member 32 is a plate-like body formed in a substantially L-shape by bending a metal plate that is punched in a substantially rectangular shape.

[0026] The fixing portion 33 is a plate-shaped portion fixed to the housing 17 of the mounting module 20 configured to be slidable on the base 16. A notch-shaped fixing groove 56 is formed at two locations on the end side of the fixing portion 33. The leaf spring member 30 is fixed to the front side or the back side of the housing 17 by screwing by inserting a screw into the fixing groove 56. Since the first member 31 is located outside the second member 32, the fixing portion 33 is fixed to the housing 17 via the fixing portion 34 (see Figure 2 ).

[0027] The first portion 35 is a portion formed in a direction orthogonal to the fixing portion 33 and disposed on the side of the housing 17. The first portion 35 has a spring portion 37 formed with a width L1 narrower than that of the fixing portion 33. The spring portion 37 has a first tapered surface 41 and a second tapered surface 42 connected to the fixing portion 33 and inclined in the sliding direction D of the housing 17 on the base 16, and is a portion formed in a convex shape relative to the housing 17. The spring portion 37 is a leaf spring that is bent by contact with a member on the adjacent housing 17 side, such as the leaf spring member 30. The spring portion 37 has a width narrower than the support surface 47 of the second portion 36, and has a first tapered surface 41 extending from the fixing portion 33, a flat surface 43 substantially parallel to the side of the housing 17, and a second tapered surface 42 formed on the free end 44 side from the flat surface 43. The first tapered surface 41 and the second tapered surface 42 are surfaces that form an acute angle with respect to the side of the housing 17. Since the first conical surface 41 of the spring portion 37 is inclined from the most protruding flat surface 43 toward the fixed portion 33, and the second conical surface 42 is inclined from the flat surface 43 toward the free end 44, when the spring portion 37 contacts and bends with an adjacent component, the housing 17 slides smoothly no matter which side in the sliding direction D.

[0028] The fixing portion 34 is a plate-shaped portion fixed to the housing 17 of the mounting module 20 configured to be slidable on the base 16. The fixing portion 34 may have an area equal to or larger than that of the fixing portion 33. Notch-shaped fixing grooves 56 are formed at two locations on the end side of the fixing portion 34. The leaf spring member 30 is fixed to the front side or the back side of the housing 17 by screwing by inserting screws into the fixing grooves 56.

[0029] The second portion 36 is disposed between the first portion 35 and the housing 17, and is a portion where the support surface 47 supports the spring portion 37 when the spring portion 37 is bent. The second portion 36 includes a separation surface 45, an approach surface 46, a support surface 47, and a protection portion 50. The separation surface 45 is a surface formed along the direction of the first tapered surface 41 away from the housing 17. The approach surface 46 is a surface connected to the separation surface 45 and formed from the first tapered surface 41 to approach the housing 17. The support surface 47 is a surface connected to the approach surface 46, formed parallel to the housing 17, and supporting the spring portion 37. The support surface 47 is formed with a width greater than the width L1 of the spring portion 37, and when the spring portion 37 is bent, the free end 44 of the spring portion 37 slides on the support surface 47, and the free end 44 contacts the support surface 47 to support the spring portion 37. In the second portion 36, there are protruding portions on both sides of the protection portion 50 formed on the central front end side, and fixing holes 57 are formed in these portions. The leaf spring member 30 is fixed to the side surface of the housing 17 by screwing by inserting a screw into the fixing hole 57 .

[0030] The protection part 50 is a part for protecting the spring part 37 provided at the front end of the first part 35, and is a part formed in a convex shape relative to the housing 17 in front of the free end 44 of the spring part 37 and on the front end 48 side of the second part 36. The protection part 50 includes a third tapered surface 51, a parallel surface 52, a fourth tapered surface 53, and a free end 54. The third tapered surface 51 is a surface formed on the free end 44 side of the spring part 37 and inclined toward the free end 44 side in the sliding direction D of the housing 17 on the base 16. The parallel surface 52 is extended and connected to the third tapered surface 51, and is a surface substantially parallel to the side surface of the housing 17. When the support surface 47 is used as a reference, the parallel surface 52 is located at a position higher than the free end 44 of the spring part 37. The fourth tapered surface 53 is extended and connected to the parallel surface 52, and is a surface inclined toward the free end 54 side in the sliding direction D. The protection portion 50 is formed in a convex shape relative to the housing 17 with a width L2 wider than the width L1 of the spring portion 37. The third tapered surface 51 and the fourth tapered surface 53 are surfaces that form an acute angle with respect to the side surface of the housing 17. Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown by the dashed line, the protection portion 50 is formed such that the front end of the fourth tapered surface 53, that is, the free end 54, protrudes beyond the front end 48 of the second portion 36. Figure 2 As shown by the dotted line in the bubble diagram of FIG. 1 , the free end 54 of the protection portion 50 is formed closer to the housing 17 than the support surface 47 , that is, at a lower position.

[0031] The elastic member 38 is a member disposed on the back side of the support surface 47 between the second portion 36 and the housing 17. The elastic member 38 is a member that absorbs vibration generated from the device and further suppresses the transmission of the vibration to the adjacent device. By further suppressing the transmission of the vibration by using the elastic member 38, it is possible to further suppress the decrease in the processing accuracy of the device. The elastic member 38 is preferably disposed on the back side of the region of the support surface 47 that the free end 44 of the spring portion 37 contacts. Examples of the elastic member 38 include rubber, sponge, etc., and rubber is preferred.

[0032] Next, the operation of the leaf spring member 30 of the present embodiment configured as described above, particularly the operation of the mounting module 20 sliding in the sliding direction D, will be described. Figure 5 1 is an explanatory diagram of an example of the operation of adjacent leaf spring members 30. Figure 5 (A) is a perspective view showing the plate spring members 30 in contact with each other. Figure 5 (B) is a perspective view showing the spring portions 37 in contact with each other. Figure 6 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of sliding the housing 17. Figure 6 (A) is a picture of the slide in the middle. Figure 6 (B) is a diagram of the installation module 20 disposed on the base 16. Here, the operation of returning the installation module 20 from the pulled-out state to the base 16 is described. Figure 6 As shown in (A), when the shell 17 is moved backward, the spring portion 37 of the adjacent leaf spring component 30 abuts against the free end 54 of the protective portion 50, and then moves while sliding on the surface of the protective portion 50. In the leaf spring component 30, since the adjacent spring portion 37 moves while being pushed up by the protective portion 50, the free end 44 of the spring portion 37 is difficult to hook on the adjacent component. If the shell 17 is further slid, in the leaf spring component 30, the second conical surface 42 of the spring portion 37 contacts the first conical surface 41 of the adjacent spring portion 37, the spring portions 37 press each other, and the shell 17 moves while sliding on its surface. Furthermore, when the shell 17 is in a fixed position on the upper part of the base 16, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown in (B), the housings 17 are fixed while the spring portions 37 support each other in a bent state. In the mounting module 20, for example, when there is a gap (e.g., 2 mm) between adjacent housings 17, the gap is filled by the bending of the spring portions 37, and each housing 17 stops at a neutral position by the pressing force of the leaf spring member 30.

[0033] Here, the correspondence between the components of the present embodiment and the components of the present disclosure is clarified. The printing device 11, the printing inspection device 12, the installation device 13 and the installation inspection device 14 of the present embodiment are equivalent to the installation-related device of the present disclosure, and the installation module 20 is equivalent to the installation module. In addition, the leaf spring component 30 is equivalent to the leaf spring component, the fixing portion 33 and the fixing portion 34 are equivalent to the fixing portion, the first portion 35 is equivalent to the first portion, the second portion 36 is equivalent to the second portion, the spring portion 37 is equivalent to the spring portion, and the protection portion 50 is equivalent to the protection portion.

[0034] The leaf spring member 30 of the present embodiment described above is used between the plurality of mounting-related devices including the mounting device 13 for mounting a component on a processing object arranged on the base 16. The leaf spring member 30 includes: fixing portions 33 and 34 fixed to the housing 17 of the mounting-related device configured to be slidable on the base 16; and a first portion 35 formed with a spring portion 37 having a first tapered surface 41 and a second tapered surface 42 connected to the fixing portions 33 and 34 and inclined in the sliding direction D of the housing 17 on the base 16, the spring portion 37 being formed in a convex shape with respect to the housing 17 and being bent by contact with a member on the adjacent housing 17 side. In the leaf spring member 30, the spring portion 37 having the first tapered surface 41 and the second tapered surface 42 and formed at the first portion 35 is fixed to the housing 17 of the mounting-related device by the fixing portion 33 connected to the first portion 35. Furthermore, the leaf spring member 30 supports the adjacent housing via the spring portion 37. Therefore, the leaf spring member of the present disclosure can make the housing on which the related device is mounted slide smoothly with a relatively simple structure, and can further suppress the vibration of the housing. In addition, when there is a gap between the housings 17 due to the mutual deflection of the spring portions 37, the leaf spring member 30 can fill the gap, and the housing 17 can be fixed more reliably.

[0035] In addition, the leaf spring member 30 includes: a second portion 36 disposed between the first portion 35 and the housing 17, and supporting the spring portion 37 by the support surface 47 when the spring portion 37 is bent; and an elastic member 38 disposed between the second portion 36 and the housing 17 on the back side of the support surface 47. The leaf spring member 30 supports the adjacent housing 17 via the spring portion 37 and the elastic member 38. Therefore, the leaf spring member 30 can support the pressing force of the spring portion 37 by the support surface 47 and the elastic member 38 with a relatively simple structure, and can further suppress the vibration of the housing 17. In addition, the first portion 35 is formed by the first plate member 31, and the second portion 36 is formed by the second plate member 32 fixed to the first plate member 31 in an overlapping manner. Since the leaf spring member 30 is a structure in which the first plate member 31 and the second plate member 32 are overlapped, the stacked structure of the first portion 35 and the second portion 36 can be realized more simply than in the case where they are integrally formed. Furthermore, the first portion 35 and the second portion 36 are formed in a direction orthogonal to the fixing portions 33 and 34 and are disposed on the side surface of the housing 17, and the fixing portions 33 and 34 are disposed on the front surface or the back surface of the housing 17. Compared with a case where the fixing portions 33 and 34 are formed along the first portion 35 and the second portion 36, the leaf spring member 30 can position the spring portion 37 closer to the end of the side surface of the housing 17, thereby making it easier to suppress vibration of the housing 17.

[0036] In addition, the spring portion 37 has a width L1 narrower than the support surface 47 of the second portion 36, and has a first tapered surface 41 extending from the fixing portion 33, a flat surface 43 parallel to the housing 17, and a second tapered surface 42 formed from the flat surface 43 to the free end 44 side. The leaf spring member 30 can easily support the spring portion 37 using the support surface 47. In addition, when the housing 17 is slid, it is possible to smoothly contact with the adjacent components of the housing 17 (for example, the leaf spring member 30) through the first tapered surface 41 and the second tapered surface 42. In addition, since the contact area can be increased by the flat surface 43, when the housing 17 is fixed to the base 16, it is possible to smoothly absorb vibrations between the adjacent housing 17. In addition, the second portion 36 includes a separation surface 45 formed along the first tapered surface 41 in a direction away from the housing 17, an approach surface 46 connected to the separation surface 45 and formed in a direction from the first tapered surface 41 to the housing 17, and a support surface 47 connected to the approach surface 46 and formed parallel to the housing 17 to support the spring portion 37. In the leaf spring member 30, a space can be provided between the housing 17 and the second portion 36, so that the elastic member 38 can be easily disposed on the back side of the support surface 47.

[0037] In addition, the second portion 36 has a protection portion 50 at the front end side of the spring portion 37, and the protection portion 50 has a third tapered surface 51 that is inclined in the sliding direction of the housing 17 on the base 16, a parallel surface 52 that is connected to the third tapered surface 51 and parallel to the side surface of the housing 17, and a fourth tapered surface 53 that is connected to the parallel surface 52 and inclined in the sliding direction D, and the protection portion 50 is formed in a convex shape with respect to the housing 17 with a width L2 that is wider than the width L1 of the spring portion 37, and a free end 54 at the front end of the fourth tapered surface 53 protrudes more than the front end 48 of the second portion 36, and the free end 54 is formed on the housing 17 side than the support surface 47. In this leaf spring member 30, after passing through the protection member 50, the adjacent components of the housing 17 reach the spring portion 37, so that the spring portion 37 can be further protected. In addition, the protection member 50 is wider than the spring portion 37, so it is easy to protect the spring portion 37. In addition, the front end of the protective component 50, i.e., the free end 54, protrudes further than the front end 48 of the second portion 36, and reaches above the second portion 36 from the side of the shell 17 closer to the support surface 47, so when sliding, it is possible to further prevent the adjacent shell components from entering between the second portion 36 and the shell 17.

[0038] In addition, the mounting module 20 is a mounting module of the mounting-related device, and a plurality of mounting-related devices including a mounting device for mounting a component on a processing object are arranged on the base 16, and the mounting-related device is configured to be slidable on the base 16. The mounting module 20 includes a housing 17, and the housing 17 is configured to be slidable on the base 16 and has a leaf spring member 30 fixed thereto. Since the mounting module 20 includes the leaf spring member 30, the vibration of the housing 17 of the mounting-related device can be further suppressed with a relatively simple structure. In addition, when the housing 17 is fixed to the base 16, the leaf spring member 30 is fixed at a position opposite to the leaf spring member 30 fixed to the adjacent housing 17. The mounting module 20 mutually supports the housing 17 through the leaf spring member 30, and thus the vibration of the housing 17 can be further suppressed. In addition, the mounting-related device of the mounting system 10 includes the above-mentioned mounting module 20, and thus the vibration of the housing 17 of the mounting-related device can be further suppressed with a relatively simple structure.

[0039] In addition, it goes without saying that the present disclosure is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and can be implemented in various forms as long as it belongs to the technical scope of the present disclosure.

[0040] For example, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the plate spring member 30 is described as having the second portion 36 and the elastic member 38, but the present invention is not particularly limited thereto, and the second portion 36 or the elastic member 38 may be omitted. The plate spring member 30 has the spring portion 37, and the housing to which the related device is mounted can be smoothly slid with a relatively simple structure, and the vibration of the housing can be further suppressed.

[0041] In the above embodiment, the fixing parts 33, 34, the first part 35 and the second part 36 are formed by the first member 31 and the second member 32, but the present invention is not particularly limited thereto, and these parts may be integrally formed. In the leaf spring member 30, although the manufacturing process becomes more complicated, the housing 17 to which the related device is mounted can slide smoothly, and the vibration of the housing 17 can be further suppressed.

[0042] In the above embodiment, the leaf spring member 30 is described as being disposed on the front surface side of the housing 17 , but the present invention is not particularly limited thereto and may be disposed only on the rear surface side of the housing 17 or on both the front surface and the rear surface of the housing 17 .

[0043] In the above embodiment, the first portion 35 is formed in a direction orthogonal to the fixing portion 33, but the present invention is not particularly limited thereto, and the first portion 35 may be formed in a direction along the fixing portion 33, and the fixing portion 33 and the first portion 35 may be fixed to the side surface of the housing 17. In the leaf spring member 30, since the fixing portion 33 is fixed to the side surface of the housing 17, although the position of the spring portion 37 is difficult to be closer to the end of the housing 17, other effects can be achieved.

[0044] In the above embodiment, the spring portion 37 has the flat surface 43, but the present invention is not particularly limited thereto, and the spring portion 37 may not have the flat surface 43. As long as the leaf spring member 30 has the first tapered surface 41 and the second tapered surface 42, the leaf spring member 30 can move smoothly relative to the housing 17 when the housing 17 moves in the sliding direction D. In addition, when the spring portion 37 has the flat surface 43, it is easy to fix the housing 17 in the fixed position (see Figure 6 (B)) Fixing the housings 17 to each other is preferred.

[0045] In the above embodiment, the second portion 36 has the separation surface 45 and the approach surface 46, but the present invention is not particularly limited thereto, and the separation surface 45 or the approach surface 46 may be omitted. In the leaf spring member 30, the housing 17 to which the related device is mounted can also slide smoothly with a relatively simple structure, and the vibration of the housing 17 can be further suppressed. In addition, when the separation surface 45 and the approach surface 46 are formed, it is easy to adjust the gap between the second portion 36 and the housing 17, which is preferable.

[0046] In the above embodiment, the case where the width L2 of the free end 54 is larger than the width L1 of the free end 44 of the spring portion 37 is described, but it is not particularly limited to this, and the width L1 and the width L2 may be the same width. In addition, from the viewpoint of protecting the spring portion 37, it is preferred that the width L2 is larger. In addition, in the above embodiment, the free end 54 of the protection portion 50 protrudes from the front end 48 of the second portion 36, but it is not particularly limited to this, and the free end 54 may not protrude from the front end 48. In addition, from the viewpoint of protecting the spring portion 37, it is preferred that the free end 54 protrudes from the front end 48. In addition, the case where the free end 54 is formed at a position closer to the housing 17 side than the support surface 47, that is, lower than the support surface 47, is described, but it is not particularly limited to this, and the free end 54 may be higher than the support surface 47. In addition, from the viewpoint of protecting the spring portion 37, it is preferred that the free end 54 is located at a position lower than the support surface 47.

[0047] In the above embodiment, the protection portion 50 is provided at the front end side of the second portion 36, but the present invention is not particularly limited thereto and may not include the protection portion 50. In the leaf spring member 30, the spring portion 37 has poor protection, but the housing to which the related device is mounted can be smoothly slid by a relatively simple structure, and vibration of the housing can be further suppressed.
