Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an electronic component storage body in which a plurality of electronic components are stored in a bulk box, and an electronic component storage body packaging body in which the plurality of electronic component storage bodies are packaged. Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, electronic components such as chip components are individually packaged on tape reels to form component reels, and required types of component reels are set in an electronic component mounting device (mounting machine), and each component is mounted at a predetermined location on an electronic substrate.

[0003] Typically, a label such as a barcode or a two-dimensional code is attached to a component reel, thereby enabling management of information related to the component reel as a commodity.

[0004] Since the individual packaging of electronic components in the tape and reel method is large in volume, the reduction of transportation costs or the reduction of CO2 related to transportation in recent years has become an issue. Therefore, for example, very small electronic components such as multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) are being studied, which are placed in bulk boxes and shipped out of the factory.

[0005] We also carry out business such as collectively packing a plurality of the above-mentioned bulk boxes into a box and shipping, transporting, and storing them in this state.

[0006] On the other hand, Patent Document 1 discloses a technology of storing electronic components in a bulk state in a box (bulk box) and managing the bulk box using an RFID tag.

[0007] By attaching a barcode label or a two-dimensional code label to each bulk box, the items can be managed independently. However, when a plurality of bulk boxes are packed in a packaging box, they cannot be read by a barcode reader or a two-dimensional code reader. Therefore, it is sought to attach an RFID tag to each bulk box.

[0008] If the RFID tags are within the range of radio waves, the information of multiple bulk boxes can be read at once even when they are stored in a box, which is very convenient for factory management, inventory management, etc. In addition, if the bulk boxes are directly set in the mounting machine and the components are supplied from the bulk boxes, the waste of the braiding reels can be greatly reduced. In addition, the cost will also be reduced.

[0009] When the bulk box is installed in the mounting machine, if the RFID tag of the bulk box is directly read on the mounting machine side, data management can be performed from the shipment of the parts to the productization, which can make a large number of operations more efficient and labor-saving.

[0011] Patent Literature

[0012] Patent Document 1: International Publication No. 2022 / 123904 Summary of the invention

[0013] Problem that the invention aims to solve

[0014] However, the bulk boxes installed in the mounting machine need to read data for each individual bulk box and manage it. That is, unlike the case where the collectively placed items are collectively read and inventory managed, it is necessary to accurately read which bulk box containing which electronic component is set at which position of the mounting machine.

[0015] Since a plurality of bulk boxes are arranged in a row on the mounting machine, when the RFID tags mounted on these bulk boxes are read by a common RFID reader, the RFID tags of all bulk boxes will react. That is, since the RFID tags of the bulk boxes are configured to react within a certain distance, all the nearby bulk boxes will react. Therefore, it is impossible to know whether a bulk box such as B is mounted at position A on the mounting machine side, and even if the reader at position A is to read, it is impossible to know whether a bulk box such as B is correctly placed at position A.

[0016] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an electronic component storage body and an electronic component storage body package that can change the communication distance of RFID according to a reading target for a bulk box storing electronic components.

[0017] Solutions for solving problems

[0018] As an example of the present invention, an electronic component storage body is characterized in that it has a bulk box capable of storing multiple electronic components, an RFID tag for identifying the bulk box, and a conductor, wherein the RFID tag has an RFIC and an antenna electrically connected to the RFIC, and the conductor can be displaced relative to the antenna.

[0019] The electronic component storage body package of the present invention is characterized by comprising a plurality of electronic component storage bodies having the above-mentioned structure and a packaging box for packaging the plurality of electronic component storage bodies, and the electronic component storage body package is configured by packaging the plurality of electronic component storage bodies in the packaging box.

[0020] Effects of the Invention

[0021] According to the present invention, an electronic component storage body can be obtained that can change the communication distance of the RFID tag according to the reading target for a bulk box storing electronic components. For example, even when a plurality of bulk boxes are close to each other, the RFID tag of a predetermined bulk box can be read individually, and in addition, the RFID tags of each bulk box can be read at once even when a plurality of bulk boxes are packed.

[0031] 《First Implementation Method》

[0032] Figure 1 This is a diagram showing a structure of a first state of an electronic component storage body 101 listed as a first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The upper left figure in the figure is a longitudinal sectional view of the electronic component storage body 101 , the upper right figure is a right side view of the electronic component storage body 101 , and the lower left figure is a bottom view of the electronic component storage body 101 .

[0033] The electronic component storage body 101 includes a bulk box 2 made of resin. Figure 1 In the illustrated orientation, an electronic component storage section SP1 for storing a large number of electronic components 3 is formed at the upper portion of the bulk box 2, and a surplus space SP2 is formed below the electronic component storage section.

[0034] The bulk box 2 has an outlet 4 for taking out the electronic components 3. In the electronic component storage body 101, the slide 5 and the cover 6 connected to each other are electrical insulators formed of polyethylene (PE) or the like. The cover 6 opens and closes the outlet 4 as the slide 5 moves. When the electronic component storage body 101 is transported and stored, Figure 1 In the illustrated orientation, the slider 5 is located on the right side, and the removal port 4 is closed by a cover 6. The cover 6 is an example of the "substrate" of the present invention.

[0035] An RFID tag 20 is disposed on the inner surface of the bulk box 2. A conductor 13 is provided on the cover 6. Figure 1 As shown, when the slider 5 closes the removal port 4 (first state), the conductor 13 is separated from the RFID tag 20, the RFID tag 20 is not affected by the conductor 13, and the RFID tag reader / writer can read the RFID tag at a distant position.

[0036] The communication frequency of the RFID tag 20 is, for example, in the range of the 900 MHz band (860 MHz to 920 MHz). That is, the RFID tag is an RFID tag using the UHF band.

[0037] As will be described later, the RFID tag 20 communicates with the RFID tag reader / writer through electric field coupling (capacitive coupling) or magnetic field coupling.

[0038] Figure 2 2 is a perspective view of an electronic component storage body package 201 composed of a plurality of electronic component storage bodies 101 and a packaging box 200 for packaging these electronic component storage bodies 101. Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1 , since the removal port 4 is closed by the cover 6, the electronic components 3 will not fall out of the removal port 4. In addition, as shown later, each electronic component storage body 101 is Figure 1 By setting the first state shown, the antenna gain of the RFID tag is increased, and the content of the RFID tag of each electronic component storage body 101 in the electronic component storage body package 201 can be read even from a predetermined distance.

[0039] Figure 3 It is a diagram showing the structure of the electronic component storage body 101 in the second state. Figure 3 The upper left figure in the figure is a longitudinal sectional view of the electronic component storage body 101 , the upper right figure is a right side view of the electronic component storage body 101 , and the lower left figure is a bottom view of the electronic component storage body 101 .

[0040] exist Figure 1 FIG. 4 shows a state where the cover 6 covers the outlet 4. Figure 3 The state (second state) in which the lid 6 opens the removal opening 4 is shown.

[0041] After the electronic component storage body 101 is mounted on the mounting machine, the removal port 4 is opened by sliding the slider 5. In this state, the conductor 13 and the RFID tag 20 overlap.

[0042] Figure 4 1 is a top view showing the structure of the RFID tag 20. A zigzag line-shaped radiation electrode 15 and an end electrode 16 are formed on an insulating RFID tag sheet 14. The radiation electrode 15 and the end electrode 16 constitute an antenna. In addition, the RFID tag sheet 14 is equipped with an RFIC 7. The RFIC 7 may be an IC alone, or may include an IC, a matching circuit, an antenna, and the like. If the RFIC 7 is an IC alone, the electrode of the RFIC 7 may be directly electrically connected to the radiation electrode 15. If the RFIC 7 is an RFIC module including an antenna, the electrode of the RFIC 7 may be capacitively coupled to the radiation electrode 15 via a capacitor, or magnetically coupled to the radiation electrode 15 via a magnetic field.

[0043] exist Figure 1 In the first state shown, the radiation electrode 15 and the RFIC 7 function as an RFID tag having a dipole antenna, and the antenna gain is the highest in this state. For example, the longest communication distance between the RFID tag and the RFID tag reader / writer is several meters or more. Figure 1 , Figure 4 In the state shown, the RFID tags of the electronic component storage bodies 101 in the electronic component storage body package 201 can be read collectively from a predetermined distance.

[0044] On the other hand, when the electronic component storage body 101 is mounted on the mounting machine, Figure 3 In the second state shown, the conductor 13 and the RFID tag 20 overlap, so the antenna gain decreases. For example, the longest communication distance between the RFID tag reader / writer provided in the mounting machine and the RFID tag is within a few centimeters. Therefore, in this state, the tag reader provided in the mounting machine can only read (or read and write) the RFID tag of the bulk box installed in the mounting machine and in front of the tag reader.

[0045] The antenna of the RFID tag is not limited to the one that is usually a dipole antenna when used as an antenna, and can be a structure that is usually a monopole antenna when used as an antenna. Figure 1 , Figure 3 The RFID tag 20 shown is formed with a conductor pattern for a monopole antenna, such as Figure 3 As shown, the conductor 13 covers the conductor pattern for the monopole antenna.

[0046] In addition, the antenna of the RFID tag is not limited to an antenna in which the radiating conductor extends linearly, but may also be a patch antenna. For example, a patch antenna may be formed on the RFID tag 20. Figure 3 In the state shown, the antenna gain is reduced by overlapping the conductor 13 and the patch antenna.

[0047] In addition, Figure 1 , Figure 3 In the illustrated example, the RFID tag 20 is attached to the inner bottom surface of the bulk box 2 , but may be formed on the side surface of the bulk box 2 .

[0048] As the material of the RFID tag 20, in addition to FPC made of polyethylene, PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PP (polypropylene) or a material with a metal pattern formed on paper or the like can also be used. In addition, a substrate such as glass epoxy resin can also be used. These substrates can be fixed to the bulk box 2 using an adhesive, a double-sided tape, or the like.

[0049] exist Figure 1 , Figure 3 , the conductor 13 is formed on the cover 6, the RFID tag 20 is formed on the bulk box 2, and the conductor 13 and the RFID tag 20 overlap in the second state where the cover 6 opens the take-out port 4. However, this is only an example. The RFID tag 20 may be formed on the cover 6 and the conductor 13 may be formed on the bulk box 2. In this case as well, by overlapping the conductor 13 and the RFID tag 20 in the second state where the cover 6 opens the take-out port 4, it is possible to perform only short-range communication in the state where the device is installed in the mounting machine.

[0050] In addition, Figure 1 , Figure 3 In the example shown, the RFID tag 20 is provided on the inner surface of the bulk box 2, but the RFID tag 20 may be provided on the outer surface of the bulk box 2. However, if the RFID tag 20 is provided on the inner surface of the bulk box 2, it is easy to prevent third party counterfeiting.

[0051] <<Second Implementation Method>>

[0052] In the first embodiment, an example is shown in which the proximity between the conductor 13 and the antenna of the RFID tag 20 changes according to the sliding of the cover 6, and in the second embodiment, an example is shown in which the proximity between the conductor 13 and the antenna of the RFID tag 20 changes according to the up and down orientation of the electronic component storage body.

[0053] Figure 5 This is a diagram showing the structure of the electronic component storage body 102 in the first state as the second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5The lower left figure in FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of the electronic component storage body 102. Figure 5 The lower right figure in the figure is a right side view of the electronic component storage body 102, and the upper left figure is a top view of the electronic component storage body 102. When the electronic component storage body 102 of the second embodiment is packaged in the packaging body, each electronic component storage body 102 is Figure 5 The orientation shown is an orientation in which the storage portion of the electronic component 3 is located at the bottom (an orientation in which the removal port 4 is located at the top).

[0054] The electronic component storage body 102 includes a bulk box 2 made of resin. Figure 5 In the illustrated orientation, an electronic component storage section SP1 for storing a large number of electronic components 3 is formed at the lower portion of the bulk box 2, and a surplus space SP2 is formed above the electronic component storage section.

[0055] The bulk box 2 has an outlet 4 for taking out the electronic components 3. The electronic component storage body 102 includes a slide 5 and a cover 6 connected to each other. The cover 6 opens and closes the outlet 4 as the slide 5 moves. When the electronic component storage body 102 is transported and stored, Figure 5 As shown, the slide 5 is located on the right side and the removal opening 4 is closed by a cover 6 .

[0056] A conductor 13 is provided in the remaining space SP2 inside the bulk box 2. The conductor 13 is provided in a state where it can be displaced in the vertical direction. An RFID tag 20 is arranged on the inner surface of the bulk box 2. Figure 5 In the first state shown, the conductor 13 is located away from the RFID tag 20 due to its own weight. Therefore, the RFID tag 20 is less affected by the conductor 13.

[0057] The communication frequency of the RFID tag 20 is, for example, in the range of the 900 MHz band (860 MHz to 920 MHz). That is, the RFID tag is an RFID tag using the UHF band.

[0058] Figure 6 It is a diagram showing the structure of the electronic component storage body 102 in the second state. Figure 6 The upper left figure in the figure is a longitudinal sectional view of the electronic component storage body 102, the upper right figure is a right side view of the electronic component storage body 102, and the lower left figure is a bottom view of the electronic component storage body 102. When the electronic component storage body 102 of the second embodiment is mounted on the mounting machine, the electronic component storage body 102 is in a Figure 6 Direction shown.

[0059] exist Figure 5 The first state in which the cover 6 covers the outlet 4 is shown in FIG. Figure 6 The second state in which the cover 6 opens the take-out port 4 is shown. Figure 5 The slide 5 and the outlet 4 are shown in FIG. Figure 5 The orientation shown is in the upper position, and Figure 6 The slide 5 and the outlet 4 are shown in FIG. Figure 6 The state in which the device is in the orientation shown and is located below. Figure 6 This is the state in which the electronic component storage body 102 is mounted on the mounting machine. The direction in which the electronic component storage body 102 is mounted on the mounting machine can be determined by the structure of the removal port 4 and the storage portion of the electronic component 3. That is, in order to remove the electronic component 3 from the bulk box 2 without any residue, the removal port 4 is provided on the mounting machine in a state close to the gravitational acceleration direction side relative to the storage portion.

[0060] In the first state ( Figure 5 ) is placed away from the RFID tag 20. As a result, the RFID tag 20 functions as an original RFID tag without being affected by the conductor 13. Therefore, long-distance communication is possible, and reading is possible even when the electronic component storage body is stored in the packaging box 200.

[0061] In the second state ( Figure 6 ), the conductor 13 is close to the RFID tag 20. As a result, the RFID tag 20 is affected by the conductor 13, and the antenna gain is reduced compared to the original RFID tag. For example, the longest communication distance between the RFID tag reader / writer provided in the installation machine and the RFID tag is within a few centimeters. Therefore, in this state, the tag reader provided in the installation machine can only read (or read and write) the RFID tag of the bulk box installed in the installation machine and in front of the tag reader.

[0062] In addition, Figure 5 , Figure 6 2 shows an example in which the conductor 13 approaches the antenna of the RFID tag 20 due to its own weight when the bulk box 2 is placed in a direction in which the electronic components 3 can be taken out. However, if the conductor 13 is a ferromagnetic body, a magnet may be provided on an external structure such as a mounting machine. Thus, it is also possible to configure such that when the conductor 13 approaches the antenna of the RFID tag 20 due to its own weight, the conductor 13 is attracted in that direction by the magnet. Thus, the conductor 13 can be brought closer to the antenna of the RFID tag 20 more reliably.

[0063] In the first embodiment, the communicable distance is changed by making the cover 6 movable, while in the second embodiment, the communicable distance can be changed by changing the orientation of the electronic component storage body regardless of the cover 6. Therefore, it is possible to read only the information of the bulk box 2 in front of the tag reader without taking out the electronic component 3, and for example, the electronic component 3 can be replaced without losing it even if it is installed incorrectly to the installation machine.

[0064] In the second embodiment, Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1 , when the RFID tag 20 is not mounted on the mounting machine and the conductor 13 is separated from the RFID tag 20, the conductor 13 exists between the RFID tag 20 and the electronic component 3. Therefore, the characteristics of the RFID tag 20 can be stabilized regardless of the amount of the electronic component 3. That is, when the electronic component also includes a metal part, the distance between the antenna of the RFID tag 20 and the metal part in the electronic component 3 will change according to the amount of the electronic component included in the electronic component storage section SP1, so the radiation characteristics of the antenna of the RFID tag 20 will change, but as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, by providing the conductor 13 between the antenna of the RFID tag 20 and the electronic component storage section SP1, the radiation characteristics of the antenna are made constant regardless of the amount of electronic components.

[0065] 《Third Implementation Method》

[0066] In the third embodiment, similarly to the case of the second embodiment, an example is shown in which the proximity between the conductor 13 and the antenna of the RFID tag 20 changes depending on the vertical orientation of the electronic component storage body.

[0067] Figure 7 This is a diagram showing the structure of the second state of the electronic component storage body 103 listed as the third embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 The left figure in the figure is a longitudinal sectional view of the electronic component storage body 103, and the right figure is a right side view of the electronic component storage body 103. The electronic component storage body 103 of the third embodiment is in a state of being mounted on a mounting machine. Figure 7 Direction as shown.

[0068] In the third embodiment, the conductor 13 is formed on a substrate 41. A ferromagnetic member 40 attracted by a magnet 30 provided on an external structure such as a mounting machine is provided on the substrate 41. The other structures are the same as those of the electronic component storage body 102 shown in the second embodiment.

[0069] According to the third embodiment, when the conductor 13 is in a state close to the antenna of the RFID tag 20 due to the weight of the substrate 41, the conductor 13 and the ferromagnetic member 40, the ferromagnetic member 40 is attracted by the magnet 30. Thus, the conductor 13 can be formed of Cu, Al, etc., which are non-magnetic materials. In addition, the movement of the substrate 41, the conductor 13 and the ferromagnetic member 40 can be made more reliable. In addition, the ferromagnetic member 40 can also be a magnet configured to be attracted by the magnet 30.

[0070] 《Fourth Implementation Method》

[0071] In the fourth embodiment, an example is shown in which the degree of proximity between the conductor pattern and the RFID tag changes according to the magnetic force that attracts the conductor.

[0072] Figure 8 1 is a diagram showing a structure of an electronic component storage body 104 in a first state as a fourth embodiment of the present invention, and is a longitudinal sectional view of the electronic component storage body 104 .

[0073] The electronic component storage body 104 includes a bulk box 2 made of resin. Figure 8 In the illustrated orientation, an electronic component storage section SP1 for storing a large number of electronic components 3 is formed at the upper portion of the bulk box 2, and a surplus space SP2 is formed below the electronic component storage section.

[0074] The conductor 13 is provided in the remaining space inside the bulk box 2. The conductor 13 is provided in a position where it can be displaced in the vertical direction by the attraction and elasticity of the electromagnet 31. In addition, an RFID tag 20 is arranged on the inner surface of the bulk box 2. The conductor 13 is a ferromagnetic plate such as an iron plate, but Figure 8 The state shown is a state in which the conductor 13 is not attracted by the electromagnet 31. Therefore, the RFID tag 20 is not affected by the conductor 13.

[0075] Fig. 9 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the electronic component storage body 103 in the second state. Figure 8 The state where the conductor 13 is not attracted by the electromagnet is shown in FIG. Fig. 9 1 shows the state where the conductor 13 is attracted by the electromagnet. Fig. 9 The state where the lid 6 opens the removal port 4 is shown in FIG. Fig. 9 This is a state where the electronic component storage body 103 is mounted on the mounting machine.

[0076] When the electronic component storage body 103 is not mounted on the mounting machine, Figure 8As shown in FIG. 1 , the conductor 13 is in the first state away from the RFID tag 20. As a result, the RFID tag 20 is not affected by the conductor 13 and functions as an RFID tag capable of long-distance communication. The electromagnet 31 is, for example, an electromagnet with a ferrite core. Figure 8 As shown, even if the electromagnet 31 is close to the RFID tag 20 , the RFID tag 20 is not affected by the conductivity of the electromagnet 31 .

[0077] When the electronic component storage body 103 is mounted on the mounting machine, the electronic component storage body 103 is Fig. 9 The conductor 13 is shown in the second state attracted by the electromagnet 31. As a result, the RFID tag 20 is affected by the conductor 13 and the antenna gain decreases. For example, the longest communication distance between the RFID tag reader / writer provided in the mounting machine and the RFID tag is within a few centimeters. Therefore, in this state, the tag reader provided in the mounting machine can read (or read and write) only the RFID tag of the bulk box installed in the mounting machine and in front of the tag reader.

[0078] For example, the conductor 13 may be inserted from the remaining space SP2 to the electronic component storage section SP1 side with the support portion as its end. In other words, the conductor 13 may be set at a position close to the electronic component storage section SP1 in the remaining space SP2 without being fixed. In other words, it is sufficient as long as the conductor 13 is configured so that it does not fall off when attracted by the electromagnet 31. In this way, the conductor 13 can be deformed freely, and on the other hand, by giving the conductor 13 rigidity to maintain its shape, it can be restored to its original shape when there is no electromagnet 31. Figure 8 The straight line shape shown thus stabilizes the antenna characteristics.

[0079] Alternatively, the conductor 13 may be formed on a deformable substrate, and the rigidity of the substrate and the rigidity of the conductor 13 may be combined to adjust deformation under the attractive force of the electromagnet 31 and restoring force in the absence of the electromagnet 31 .

[0080] Furthermore, by setting the strength of the magnetic force of the electromagnet 31 in multiple stages, the distance between the conductor 13 and the RFID tag 20 can be set in multiple stages, thereby controlling the antenna gain in multiple stages.

[0081] Furthermore, the electromagnet 31 may be turned on / off in conjunction with the operation of the slider 5, but in the present embodiment, the electromagnet 31 can be turned on / off without being linked to the operation of the slider 5. Thus, the type of the electronic component 3 mounted on the mounting machine can be determined without removing the electronic component 3, thereby eliminating the loss of the electronic component 3 caused by opening the removal port 4.

[0082] In addition, Fig. 9 In the example shown, both ends of the conductor 13 are fixed, but only one end may be fixed.

[0083] Finally, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. It can be appropriately modified and changed by those skilled in the art. The scope of the present invention is not represented by the above-mentioned embodiments, but by the claims. Moreover, the scope of the present invention includes modifications and changes to the embodiments within the scope equivalent to the scope of the claims.

[0084] For example, the electronic component is not limited to a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and may be, for example, cylindrical.

[0085] Furthermore, in each of the above embodiments, an example in which the RFID tag 20 is attached to the lower surface or the upper surface of the bulk box 2 is shown, but the RFID tag 20 may be formed on the side surface of the bulk box 2 .
