[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 6-171666 Summary of the Invention

[0006] The problem the invention aims to solve

[0007] In the case of such an electronic component package, during the automatic assembly of the electronic component by fitting the cylindrical core component into the assembly machine and the package rotating, the electronic component packaging tape (electronic component carrier tape) is gradually pulled out. Then, if the entire packaging tape (electronic component carrier tape) is pulled out, the core component remains on the assembly machine. Therefore, a core component removal operation is required, reducing the operability of the automatic assembly of the electronic component.

[0025] Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, in each drawing, the same reference numerals are used to label the same or equivalent parts.

[0026] [First Implementation]

[0027] (Packaging for electronic components)

[0028] Figure 1 This is a side view showing the electronic component package according to the first embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the electronic component packaging body 1 is constructed by winding the electronic component packaging tape 10 with one end T1, i.e., the core member 40, as the starting point. For example, the electronic component packaging tape 10 is wound so that the cover tape side, described later, becomes the inner circumferential side. The electronic component packaging body 1 is also sometimes referred to as a tape reel.

[0029] (Electronic component packaging tape and electronic component carrier tape)

[0030] Figure 2 This is a top view showing the electronic component packaging tape and electronic component mounting tape according to the first embodiment. Figure 3 yes Figure 2 The cross-sectional view along line III-III shows the electronic component packaging tape and the electronic component carrier tape. Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the electronic component packaging tape 10 includes an electronic component carrier tape 20, a cover tape 30, and a plurality of electronic components 100.

[0031] The electronic component carrier belt 20 is a long strip or strip-shaped component. Multiple bags 21 are formed on the electronic component carrier belt 20, arranged at equal intervals along its longitudinal direction. Each bag 21 is a concave recess for accommodating electronic components 100 and has an opening for removing the electronic components. Furthermore, multiple transfer holes 22 are formed on the electronic component carrier belt 20, arranged at equal intervals along its longitudinal direction. The transfer holes 22 are used for conveying electronic components during automated assembly using an assembly machine. The material of the electronic component carrier belt 20 is not particularly limited; resin or paper can be used. Additionally, because the electronic components are connected, the electronic component carrier belt 20 and the electronic component packaging belt 10 are sometimes referred to as an electronic component connector.

[0032] The covering tape 30 is a strip or band-shaped component. The covering tape 30 is adhered to the electronic component carrier tape 20, covering the openings of the plurality of bags 21 without blocking the transfer holes 22. Thus, each electronic component 100 is sealed within its respective bag 21. The covering tape 30 is peelably adhered to the electronic component carrier tape 20. The material of the covering tape 30 is not particularly limited; resin or paper, etc., can be used.

[0033] Multiple electronic components 100 are respectively housed in multiple bags 21 of the electronic component carrier belt 20. Examples of electronic components 100 include multilayer ceramic capacitors using dielectric ceramics, piezoelectric components using piezoelectric ceramics, thermistors using semiconductor ceramics, inductors using magnetic ceramics, and various other surface-mount electronic components.

[0034] (Core component)

[0035] A flat core member 40 is disposed at one end T1 of the electronic component carrier strip 20 in the longitudinal direction, i.e., one end T1 of the electronic component packaging strip 10 in the longitudinal direction. The core member 40 is made of the same material as the electronic component carrier strip 20 and is convex on the main surface of the electronic component carrier strip 20 on the side of the cover strip 30. For example, regarding the core member 40, one or more residual edges of the electronic component carrier strip 20 may be overlapped with the main surface of one end T1 of the electronic component carrier strip 20 for bonding. Alternatively, regarding the core member 40, one end of the electronic component carrier strip 20 may be folded once or multiple times for bonding. Furthermore, the core member 40 may also be convex on the main surface of the electronic component carrier strip 20 opposite to the cover strip 30.

[0036] Here, Figure 10 This is a perspective view showing the fitting of a cylindrical core component and an electronic component packaging strip (electronic component carrier strip) in a conventional electronic component package. (Example) Figure 10 As shown, if it is a conventional electronic component package 1X, it is constructed in such a way that one end T1 of the electronic component packaging tape 10X (electronic component carrier tape 20X) is inserted into the hole 40h of the cylindrical core member 40X, and the electronic component packaging tape 10X (electronic component carrier tape) 20X is wound around the cylindrical core member 40X.

[0037] If the electronic component package 1X is like this, then when the cylindrical core component 40X is fitted into the assembly machine and the electronic component is automatically installed by the assembly machine, the electronic component package 1X rotates while the electronic component packaging belt 10X (electronic component carrier belt 20X) is gradually pulled out. Then, if the electronic component packaging belt 10X (electronic component carrier belt 20X) is completely pulled out, the core component 40X will remain on the assembly machine. Therefore, the operation of removing the core component 40X is required, and the workability of the automatic installation of the electronic component is reduced.

[0038] Regarding this, according to the electronic component carrier belt 20, electronic component packaging belt 10, and electronic component packaging body 1 of the first embodiment, the core member 40 is not cylindrical but flat, and is disposed and fixed to one end T1 of the electronic component carrier belt 20, i.e., the electronic component packaging belt 10. Therefore, during the automatic installation of electronic components by an assembly machine, the core member 40 is pulled out together with the electronic component packaging belt 10 (electronic component carrier belt 20) and is not left on the assembly machine. Thus, the operation of removing the cylindrical core member, as in the past, is avoided, improving the workability of the automatic installation of electronic components.

[0039] Furthermore, when the electronic component packaging tape 10 (electronic component carrier tape 20) is wound through the flat core member 40, one end T1, which is the starting point of the winding, can be stabilized.

[0040] Furthermore, when the electronic component package 1 is fitted into the assembly machine, the flat core member 40 functions as a fitting part. For example, as Figure 1 As shown, the fitting part of the assembly machine has three protrusions (dashed lines) in a cylindrical shape. The flat core member 40 can be properly fitted into the fitting part of such an assembly machine. Furthermore, because the core member 40 is convex, it can be properly fitted into the fitting part of such an assembly machine.

[0042] (Packaging for electronic components)

[0043] Figure 4 This is a side view showing the electronic component package according to the second embodiment. (See attached image.) Figure 4 As shown, the electronic component packaging 1A of the second embodiment is in Figure 1 In the first embodiment shown, the electronic component packaging body 1 includes an electronic component packaging strip 10A instead of an electronic component packaging strip 10. The electronic component packaging body 1A is constructed by winding the electronic component packaging strip 10A with one end T1, i.e., the core member 40A, as the starting point for winding.

[0044] (Electronic component packaging tape and electronic component carrier tape)

[0045] Figure 5 This is a top view showing the electronic component packaging tape and electronic component mounting tape according to the second embodiment. Figure 6 yes Figure 5 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view along line VI-VI of the electronic component packaging tape and the electronic component carrier tape. (See diagram below.) Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the electronic component packaging tape 10A of the second embodiment is in Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 In the electronic component packaging tape 10 shown in the first embodiment, an electronic component carrier tape 20A is provided instead of an electronic component carrier tape 20. The other structures of the electronic component packaging tape 10A are the same as those of the electronic component packaging tape 10 in the first embodiment.

[0046] (Core component)

[0047] In the electronic component carrier strip 20 of the first embodiment, the core member 40A is replaced by the electronic component carrier strip 20. The other structures of the electronic component carrier strip 20A are the same as those of the electronic component carrier strip 20 of the first embodiment.

[0048] A flat core member 40A is disposed at one end T1 in the longitudinal direction of the electronic component carrier strip 20A, i.e., at one end T1 in the longitudinal direction of the electronic component packaging strip 10A. The core member 40A is made of adhesive material and is convex on the main surface of the electronic component carrier strip 20A on the side of the cover strip 30. Adhesive tape and the like can be used as examples of adhesive materials. For example, the core member 40A can be bonded by overlapping adhesive tape onto the main surface of one end T1 of the electronic component carrier strip 20A. Furthermore, the core member 40A can also be convex on the main surface of the electronic component carrier strip 20A opposite to the cover strip 30.

[0049] Even in the electronic component carrier belt 20A, electronic component packaging belt 10A, and electronic component packaging body 1A of this second embodiment, the core member 40A is not cylindrical but flat, and is disposed and fixed to one end T1 of the electronic component carrier belt 20A, i.e., the electronic component packaging belt 10A. Therefore, during the automatic installation of electronic components using an assembly machine, the core member 40A is pulled out together with the electronic component packaging belt 10A (electronic component carrier belt 20A) and is not left on the assembly machine. Thus, the operation of removing the cylindrical core member, as in the past, is avoided, improving the workability of the automatic installation of electronic components.

[0050] Furthermore, when the electronic component packaging tape 10A (electronic component carrier tape 20A) is wound with the flat core member 40A, one end T1, which is the starting point of the winding, can be stabilized.

[0051] Furthermore, when the electronic component package 1A is fitted into the assembly machine, the flat core member 40A functions as a fitting part. For example, as Figure 4 As shown, the fitting part of the assembly machine has three protrusions (dashed lines) in a cylindrical shape. The flat core member 40A can be properly fitted into this fitting part of the assembly machine. Furthermore, because the core member 40A is convex, it can be properly fitted into the fitting part of the assembly machine. Furthermore, because the core member 40A is made of adhesive material, it can be properly bonded to the fitting part of the assembly machine.

[0052] [Third Implementation]

[0053] (Packaging for electronic components)

[0054] Figure 7 This is a side view showing the electronic component package according to the third embodiment. Figure 7 As shown, the electronic component packaging body 1B of the third embodiment is in Figure 1 In the first embodiment shown, the electronic component packaging body 1 includes an electronic component packaging strip 10B instead of an electronic component packaging strip 10. The electronic component packaging body 1B is constructed by winding the electronic component packaging strip 10B with one end T1, i.e., the core member 40B, as the starting point for winding.

[0055] (Electronic component packaging tape and electronic component carrier tape)

[0056] Figure 8 This is a top view showing the electronic component packaging tape and electronic component mounting tape according to the third embodiment. Figure 9 yes Figure 8 The cross-sectional view along line IX-IX in the electronic component packaging tape and electronic component carrier tape shown. Figure 8 as well as Figure 9 As shown, the electronic component packaging tape 10B of the third embodiment is in Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 In the electronic component packaging tape 10 of the first embodiment shown, an electronic component carrier tape 20B is provided instead of an electronic component carrier tape 20. The other structures of the electronic component packaging tape 10B are the same as those of the electronic component packaging tape 10 of the first embodiment.

[0057] (Core component)

[0058] In the electronic component carrier strip 20 of the first embodiment, the core member 40B replaces the core member 40. The other structures of the electronic component carrier strip 20B are the same as those of the electronic component carrier strip 20 of the first embodiment.

[0059] A flat core member 40B is disposed at one end T1 in the longitudinal direction of the electronic component carrier tape 20B, that is, at one end T1 in the longitudinal direction of the electronic component packaging tape 10B. The core member 40B is composed of a curing agent. Examples of curing agents include thermosetting resins such as epoxy resins and photocurable resins. For example, the curing agent may be impregnated into one end T1 of the electronic component carrier tape 20B regarding the core member 40B.

[0060] Even in the electronic component carrier belt 20B, electronic component packaging belt 10B, and electronic component packaging body 1B of this third embodiment, the core member 40B is not cylindrical but flat, and is disposed and fixed to one end T1 of the electronic component carrier belt 20B, i.e., the electronic component packaging belt 10B. Therefore, during the automatic assembly of electronic components using an assembly machine, the core member 40B is pulled out together with the electronic component packaging belt 10B (electronic component carrier belt 20B) and is not left on the assembly machine. Thus, the operation of removing the cylindrical core member, as in the past, is avoided, improving the workability of the automatic assembly of electronic components.

[0061] Furthermore, when the electronic component packaging tape 10B (electronic component carrier tape 20B) is wound with the flat core member 40B, one end T1, which is the starting point of the winding, can be stabilized.

[0062] Furthermore, when the electronic component package 1B is fitted into the assembly machine, the flat core member 40B functions as a fitting part. For example, as Figure 7 As shown, the fitting part of the assembly machine has three protrusions (dashed lines) in a cylindrical shape. The flat core member 40B can be properly fitted with such a fitting part of the assembly machine.

[0063] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and various modifications and variations are possible. For example, the above embodiments can also be combined. For example, the core components 40, 40A, and 40B may also contain two or more of the same materials, adhesives, and curing agents as the electronic component carrier tape.
