[Technical field]

[0001] This specification discloses techniques relating to a coating device and a component mounting machine. [Background technology]

[0002] The electronic component mounting method described in Patent Document 1 includes a first step and a second step. The first step is a step of driving a transfer machine equipped with a nozzle and a moving mechanism to immerse the nozzle in the cream solder in a cream solder bath and apply an appropriate amount of cream solder to the tip of the nozzle. The second step is a step of driving the transfer machine to bring the nozzle into contact with a connection portion with an IC terminal on the electronic component mounting surface of the printed circuit board and transfer the cream solder.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 11-354914 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, Patent Document 1 does not disclose the number of times the nozzle is dipped into the solder paste, or the number of times the solder paste is transferred per dipping. If the first and second steps are repeated every time the solder paste is transferred to one connection portion of the board, the time required may become longer.

[0005] In consideration of the above circumstances, this specification discloses a coating device and a component mounting machine that can reduce the time required to dip pin members into a coating agent and apply the coating agent to a board. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] This specification discloses a coating device including a container, a drive device, and a control unit. The container contains a liquid coating agent to be applied to a plurality of mounting sites of a board on which components are mounted. The drive device moves and raises and lowers a pin member in a horizontal direction between the container and the positioned board. The control unit drives and controls the drive device to dip the pin member into the coating agent, thereby applying the coating agent to each of the plurality of mounting sites using the coating agent held at the tip of the pin member.

[0007] The present specification also discloses a component mounting machine including the coating device and a mounting head that picks up the components and mounts the picked up components on the board. The mounting head is used as the driving device. Effect of the Invention

[0008] According to the coating device, the control unit controls the drive device to dip the pin members into the coating agent, thereby coating each of the multiple mounting sites with the coating agent held at the tip of the pin members. Therefore, the coating device can reduce the time required to dip the pin members into the coating agent to apply the coating agent to the board, compared to the case where the coating agent is applied to one mounting site using the coating agent held at the tip of the pin members. What has been described above about the coating device can also be said about a component mounting machine equipped with a coating device. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] 1. Embodiment 1-1. Example of the configuration of the component placement machine 10 The coating device 70 can be provided in a predetermined substrate-related operation machine. For example, a printer, a print inspection machine, a component mounting machine 10, a reflow oven, and an appearance inspection machine are included in the substrate-related operation machine. The coating device 70 of this embodiment is provided in the component mounting machine 10. The component mounting machine 10 mounts a plurality of components 80 on a substrate 90. As shown in FIG. 1, the component mounting machine 10 includes a substrate conveying device 11, a component supplying device 12, a component transfer device 13, a component camera 14, a substrate camera 15, a side camera 16, a control device 17, and a display device 18.

[0011] The board transport device 11 is, for example, configured with a belt conveyor or the like, and transports the board 90 in a transport direction (X-axis direction). The board 90 is a circuit board on which electronic circuits, electric circuits, magnetic circuits, etc. are formed. The board transport device 11 transports the board 90 into the component mounting machine 10, positions the board 90 at a predetermined position within the machine, and clamps it. After the component mounting machine 10 has completed the mounting process of the multiple components 80, the board transport device 11 unclamps the board 90 and transports the board 90 out of the component mounting machine 10.

[0012] The component supplying device 12 supplies a plurality of components 80 to be mounted on the board 90. The component supplying device 12 includes a plurality of feeders 121 provided along the transport direction (X-axis direction) of the board 90. Each of the plurality of feeders 121 pitch-feeds a carrier tape on which the plurality of components 80 are stored, and supplies the components 80 so that they can be picked up at a supply position located at the tip side of the feeder 121. The component supplying device 12 can also supply electronic components (e.g., lead components) that are relatively large compared to chip components and the like, arranged on a tray. The plurality of feeders 121 and the trays are provided detachably (replaceably) on the pallet member DP0.

[0013] The component transfer device 13 includes a head drive device 131 and a movable table 132. The head drive device 131 is configured to be able to move the movable table 132 in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction (a direction perpendicular to the X-axis direction on a horizontal plane) by a linear motion mechanism. The mounting head 20 is detachably (replaceably) provided on the movable table 132 by a clamp member. The mounting head 20 uses at least one holding member 30 to pick up and hold the component 80 supplied by the component supply device 12, and mounts the component 80 on the board 90 positioned by the board transport device 11. The holding member 30 can be, for example, a suction nozzle, a chuck, or the like.

[0014] Known imaging devices can be used for the component camera 14, the board camera 15, and the side camera 16. The component camera 14 is fixed to a base of the component mounting machine 10 so that its optical axis faces upward in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction perpendicular to the X-axis and Y-axis directions). The component camera 14 can capture an image of the component 80 held by the holding member 30 from below. The board camera 15 is provided on the moving stage 132 of the component transfer device 13 so that its optical axis faces downward in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction). The board camera 15 can capture an image of the board 90 from above.

[0015] Side camera 16 is provided on mounting head 20 so that its optical axis is horizontal. Side camera 16 can capture images of components 80 and the like held by holding member 30 from the side (horizontal direction). Component camera 14, board camera 15, and side camera 16 capture images based on control signals sent from control device 17. Image data of images captured by component camera 14, board camera 15, and side camera 16 are transmitted to control device 17.

[0016] The control device 17 includes a known arithmetic unit and a storage device, and constitutes a control circuit. Information and image data output from various sensors provided in the component mounting machine 10 are input to the control device 17. The control device 17 sends control signals to each device based on a control program and predetermined mounting conditions that are set in advance.

[0017] For example, the control device 17 causes the board camera 15 to capture an image of the board 90 positioned by the board transport device 11. The control device 17 processes the image captured by the board camera 15 to recognize the positioning state of the board 90. The control device 17 also causes the holding member 30 to pick up and hold the components 80 supplied by the component supply device 12, and causes the component camera 14 and the lateral camera 16 to capture images of the components 80 held by the holding member 30. The control device 17 processes the images captured by the component camera 14 and the lateral camera 16 to recognize the holding posture of the components 80.

[0018] The control device 17 moves the holding member 30 toward above the intended mounting position that is set in advance by a control program or the like. The control device 17 also corrects the intended mounting position based on the positioning state of the board 90, the holding attitude of the component 80, and the like, and sets the mounting position where the component 80 is actually mounted. The intended mounting position and the mounting position include a rotation angle in addition to the position (X-axis coordinate and Y-axis coordinate).

[0019] The control device 17 corrects the target position (X-axis coordinates and Y-axis coordinates) and rotation angle of the holding member 30 according to the mounting position. The control device 17 lowers the holding member 30 at the corrected rotation angle in the corrected target position to mount the component 80 on the board 90. The control device 17 repeats the above pick-and-place cycle to execute the mounting process of mounting a plurality of components 80 on the board 90.

[0020] A known display device can be used as the display device 18. The display device 18 can display setting information, work information, production information, etc. of the component mounting machine 10. The display device 18 is also configured with a touch panel, and also functions as an input device that accepts various operations by the operator.

[0021] 1-2. Configuration example of coating device 70 The coating device 70 of this embodiment is provided in the component mounting machine 10. The coating device 70 includes a container 41, a drive device 50, and a control unit 61. The coating device 70 can also include a setting unit 62. The coating device 70 can also include an acquisition unit 63. As shown in FIG. 2, the coating device 70 of this embodiment includes a container 41, a drive device 50, the control unit 61, the setting unit 62, and the acquisition unit 63.

[0022] Moreover, the coating device 70 of this embodiment executes control according to the flowchart shown in Fig. 3. The control unit 61 performs the process shown in step S13. The setting unit 62 performs the process shown in step S11. The acquisition unit 63 performs the process shown in step S12.

[0023] 1-2-1. Container 41 The container 41 contains a liquid coating agent L0 to be applied to a plurality of mounting portions 91 of a board 90 on which components 80 are mounted. The mounting portions 91 refer to portions that are electrically connected to electrodes of the components 80, and are also called pads. The coating agent L0 is not limited as long as it is a liquid material that is applied to the mounting portions 91. For example, liquid solder, flux, silver paste, and other bonding agents and adhesives are included in the coating agent L0.

[0024] As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 4, the container 41 of this embodiment is formed in a cylindrical shape with a bottom, and the container 41 is provided in the dipping unit 40. The dipping unit 40 periodically rotates the container 41 so that the coating agent L0 is not locally reduced in the container 41. In addition, the dipping unit 40 detects the remaining amount of the coating agent L0 while the container 41 is rotating. When the remaining amount of the coating agent L0 falls below a predetermined amount, the dipping unit 40 supplies the coating agent L0 to the container 41 from a storage tank 42 in which the coating agent L0 is stored.

[0025] The dip unit 40 is provided detachably (replaceably) on the pallet member DP0. As shown in FIG. 1, the pallet member DP0 can be equipped with a plurality of feeders 121 and the dip unit 40 at the same time. The pallet member DP0 can be equipped with a tray and the dip unit 40 at the same time. As described above, the plurality of feeders 121 and the tray are included in the component supply device 12. In this manner, the container 41 (in this embodiment, the dip unit 40 including the container 41) is provided replaceably with the component supply device 12 that supplies the components 80. Therefore, the configuration of the component mounting machine 10 can be simplified compared to a case where a separate installation space for the container 41 is provided. Furthermore, the maintenance of the container 41 is easy.

[0026] 1-2-2. Drive unit 50 The driving device 50 moves and elevates the pin member P0 in the horizontal direction between the container 41 and the positioned substrate 90. The driving device 50 may take various forms as long as it can move and elevate the pin member P0 in the horizontal direction. For example, the driving device 50 can move the pin member P0 in the horizontal direction (X-axis direction and Y-axis direction) by a known linear motion mechanism. The driving device 50 can also elevate the pin member P0 in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction) by a known elevating mechanism.

[0027] 1 and 2, the component mounting machine 10 of this embodiment includes a coating device 70 and a mounting head 20. As described above, the mounting head 20 picks up components 80 and mounts the picked components 80 on a board 90. In this embodiment, the mounting head 20 is used as the drive device 50. Therefore, the configuration of the component mounting machine 10 can be simplified compared to when a separate drive device is provided to move and elevate the pin members P0.

[0028] In the mounting head 20 used as the drive device 50, at least one holding member 30 is replaced with a pin member P0. The pin member P0 provided on the mounting head 20 is moved horizontally (X-axis direction and Y-axis direction) and raised and lowered vertically (Z-axis direction) by the mounting head 20 in the same manner as the holding member 30. As described above, the substrate 90 is positioned by the substrate transport device 11. The pin member P0 provided on the mounting head 20 is moved horizontally (X-axis direction and Y-axis direction) and raised and lowered between the container 41 and the positioned substrate 90.

[0029] 1-2-3. Control unit 61 The control unit 61 controls the drive device 50 to dip the pin member P0 into the coating material L0, thereby applying the coating material L0 held at the tip portion P1 of the pin member P0 to each of the multiple mounting locations 91 (step S13 shown in FIG. 3).

[0030] The shape of the pin member P0 is not limited as long as the pin member P0 can hold the coating material L0 at the tip portion P1 by dipping. As shown in Fig. 5A, the pin member P0 may have a hemispherical tip portion P1. The pin member P0 may also have a cylindrical shape or a rectangular prism shape. Furthermore, the tip portion P1 of the pin member P0 may have an uneven surface to facilitate holding the coating material L0.

[0031] 2, when considered as a control block, the control device 17 includes a control unit 61. In this embodiment, the control unit 61 drives and controls the mounting head 20 used as the drive device 50. Specifically, the control unit 61 drives and controls the drive device 50 (mounting head 20) to move the pin member P0 above the container 41. The control unit 61 drives and controls the drive device 50 (mounting head 20) to raise and lower the pin member P0. As a result, the coating agent L0 is dipped into the tip portion P1 of the pin member P0.

[0032] The coating agent L0 is viscous, and the dipped coating agent L0 is held at the tip portion P1 of the pin member P0 by surface tension. Next, the control unit 61 drives and controls the drive device 50 (mounting head 20) to move the pin member P0 above the mounting portion 91 of the positioned substrate 90. Then, the control unit 61 drives and controls the drive device 50 (mounting head 20) to raise and lower the pin member P0. This causes the coating agent L0 to be applied to the mounting portion 91. The control unit 61 repeats the above control to apply the coating agent L0 to a plurality of mounting portions 91.

[0033] However, if the control unit 61 repeats the above control each time the coating agent L0 is applied to one mounting site 91, there is a possibility that the time required to apply the coating agent L0 to the substrate 90 will become longer. Therefore, in this embodiment, the control unit 61 uses the coating agent L0 held at the tip portion P1 of the pin member P0 to apply the coating agent L0 to each of the multiple mounting sites 91. As a result, the coating device 70 can reduce the time required to dip the pin member P0 into the coating agent L0 to apply the coating agent L0 to the substrate 90, compared to the case in which the coating agent L0 held at the tip portion P1 of the pin member P0 is used to apply the coating agent L0 to one mounting site 91.

[0034] 5A to 5C, as the number of times that one pin member P0 is dipped into the coating agent L0 increases, the amount of coating agent L0 held at the tip portion P1 of the pin member P0 increases. Also, the unit coating amount, which is the amount of coating required to apply the coating agent L0 to one of the multiple mounting portions 91, differs depending on the type of component 80. Therefore, even if the amount of coating agent L0 held at the tip portion P1 of the pin member P0 is the same, the number of mounting portions 91 to which the coating agent L0 can be applied (the number of times that the coating agent L0 can be applied) varies.

[0035] Therefore, it is preferable that the control unit 61 sets the number of times to dip the coating agent L0 according to the unit coating amount. Specifically, when the unit coating amount is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount, the control unit 61 dips the coating agent L0 multiple times for each pin member P0. When the unit coating amount is less than the predetermined amount, the control unit 61 dips the coating agent L0 once for each pin member P0. The predetermined amount is a threshold value of the unit coating amount at which it becomes necessary to dip the coating agent L0 two or more times. The unit coating amount, the predetermined amount, and the number of times to dip the coating agent L0 can be derived in advance by simulation, verification using an actual device, or the like.

[0036] If the coating agent L0 is dipped multiple times at the same location in the container 41, it may be difficult to hold a desired amount of the coating agent L0 at the tip portion P1 of the pin member P0. Therefore, the control unit 61 may move the pin member P0 in the horizontal direction (X-axis direction and Y-axis direction) during multiple dipping to change the position in the container 41 to which the pin member P0 is raised and lowered. The control unit 61 can change the position to which the pin member P0 is raised and lowered for each dipping. The control unit 61 can also change the position to which the pin member P0 is raised and lowered for each predetermined number of dippings.

[0037] 1-2-4.Settings section 62 The relationship between the number of times that one pin member P0 is dipped into the coating agent L0 and the number of applications of the coating agent L0 that can be applied by the coating agent L0 held at the tip portion P1 of the pin member P0 may vary depending on the type of pin member P0 and the coating agent L0. Therefore, it is preferable to set the number of times of dipping and the number of applications for each type of pin member P0 and coating agent L0.

[0038] As shown in Fig. 2, when considered as a control block, the control device 17 includes a setting unit 62. The setting unit 62 sets the number of dips for dipping one pin member P0 in the coating agent L0 and the number of applications of the coating agent L0 that can be applied by the coating agent L0 held at the tip end P1 of the pin member P0 for each type of pin member P0 and coating agent L0 (step S11 shown in Fig. 3). The relationship between the number of dips and the number of applications may be derived in advance by simulation, verification using an actual machine, or the like. The derived relationship between the number of dips and the number of applications may be included in, for example, the control program of the component mounting machine 10.

[0039] The setting unit 62 can also allow the operator to input at least one of the number of dipping times and the number of applications. Fig. 6 shows an example of an input screen displayed on the display device 18. As described above, the display device 18 is configured with a touch panel, and also functions as an input device that accepts various operations by the operator.

[0040] In the example shown in FIG. 6, the worker can select the type of pin member P0 and the type of coating agent L0 from the pull-down menu. This figure shows that the worker has selected type P01 as the type of pin member P0 and type L01 as the type of coating agent L0. Similarly, the worker can select the number of dips and the number of applications from the pull-down menu. This figure shows that the worker has selected number of dips DT1 and number of applications AT5. The worker can also input any number of dips and number of applications.

[0041] The setting unit 62 can guide the operator to at least one of the recommended number of dips and the number of applications in the input operation. The recommended value can be obtained from the relationship between the number of dips and the number of applications derived in advance by simulation, verification using an actual machine, etc. Fig. 6 shows that the number of dips DT1 is guided as the recommended value for the number of dips, and the number of applications AT2 is guided as the recommended value for the number of applications.

[0042] When an operator inputs an arbitrary number of dips and number of applications, there is a possibility that the operator may make an erroneous input. Therefore, the setting unit 62 can notify the operator of the erroneous input when at least one of the number of dips and number of applications input by the operator is not within a predetermined range. The predetermined range can be set based on the relationship between the number of dips and the number of applications derived in advance by simulation, verification using an actual machine, etc. FIG. 6 shows that the number of applications AT5 input as the number of applications is inappropriate (not within the predetermined range), and the operator is prompted to re-input the number of applications.

[0043] 1-2-5. Acquisition part 63 As described above, the control unit 61 drives and controls the drive device 50 (the mounting head 20 in this embodiment) to move the pin member P0 above the mounting site 91 of the positioned substrate 90. Then, the control unit 61 drives and controls the drive device 50 to raise and lower the pin member P0, and the coating agent L0 is applied to the mounting site 91. Therefore, if the position RP0 of the pin member P0 in the drive device 50 when the drive device 50 holds the pin member P0 is deviated from the correct position, it may be difficult to apply the coating agent L0 to the mounting site 91.

[0044] 2, when considered as a control block, the control device 17 includes an acquisition unit 63. The acquisition unit 63 acquires a position RP0 of the pin member P0 in the drive device 50 when the drive device 50 is holding the pin member P0 (step S12 shown in FIG. 3). The acquisition unit 63 may take various forms as long as it is capable of acquiring the position RP0 of the pin member P0 in the drive device 50.

[0045] For example, the acquisition unit 63 captures an image of a base member B0 on ​​which at least one pin member P0 is erected, from the side of a tip portion P1 of the pin member P0, using an imaging device C0. Then, the acquisition unit 63 can acquire a position RP0 of the pin member P0 in the driving device 50 based on the positional relationship between the driving device 50 and the base member B0 recognized from the image captured by the imaging device C0.

[0046] As shown in Fig. 1, in this embodiment, the imaging device C0 uses the component camera 14. As described above, the component camera 14 is fixed to the base of the component mounting machine 10 so that the optical axis faces upward in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction). When the driving device 50 (mounting head 20) that holds the pin member P0 is positioned above the imaging device C0 (component camera 14), the imaging device C0 (component camera 14) images the base member B0. This allows the imaging device C0 (component camera 14) to capture an image of the base member B0 from the side of the tip portion P1 of the pin member P0.

[0047] Fig. 7 shows an example of the positional relationship between the driving device 50 and the base member B0 recognized from an image captured by the imaging device C0 (component camera 14). In the example shown in Fig. 7, one pin member P0 is erected at the center of the base member B0. A plurality of pin members P0 may be erected on the base member B0. The arrangement of the plurality of pin members P0 on the base member B0 is set, for example, in accordance with the arrangement of the electrodes of the component 80 to be mounted.

[0048] Furthermore, in the figure, for convenience of explanation, the base member B0 is attached to the center CP0 of the drive device 50, and the state in which the pin member P0 is located at the center CP0 is regarded as the normal position of the pin member P0. In the example shown in the figure, the center of the base member B0 (position RP0 of the pin member P0) is shifted in the direction indicated by the arrow from the center CP0 of the drive device 50. In this way, the acquisition unit 63 can acquire the position RP0 of the pin member P0 in the drive device 50 based on the positional relationship between the drive device 50 and the base member B0 recognized from the image captured by the imaging device C0 (component camera 14).

[0049] 8 shows an example of the positional relationship between the mounting site 91 and the pin member P0 when the target position G0 of the drive device 50 (mounting head 20) is not corrected. The target position G0 of the drive device 50 (mounting head 20) is set based on the normal position of the pin member P0. Therefore, if the target position G0 of the drive device 50 (mounting head 20) is not corrected in the state of FIG. 7, the pin member P0 may deviate from the desired position (e.g., the center of the mounting site 91) as shown in FIG. 8, making it difficult to apply the coating agent L0 to the mounting site 91.

[0050] In a configuration in which the coating device 70 includes the acquisition unit 63, the control unit 61 corrects the target position G0 of the driving device 50 when moving the driving device 50 to apply the coating agent L0, in accordance with the position RP0 of the pin member P0 acquired by the acquisition unit 63. In the example shown in Fig. 7, the correction by the control unit 61 can be represented by a vector directed from the center of the base member B0 (the position RP0 of the pin member P0) toward the center CP0 of the driving device 50.

[0051] 9 shows an example of the positional relationship between the mounting part 91 and the pin member P0 when the target position G0 of the driving device 50 (mounting head 20) is corrected. By the above correction, the pin member P0 is positioned at a desired position (for example, the center of the mounting part 91), and the coating agent L0 is applied to the mounting part 91.

[0052] The acquisition of the position RP0 of the pin member P0 and the calculation of the correction amount of the target position G0 of the drive device 50 (mounting head 20) can be performed during the first trial production after the pin member P0 is held by the drive device 50 (mounting head 20). The acquisition of the position RP0 of the pin member P0 and the calculation of the correction amount of the target position G0 of the drive device 50 (mounting head 20) can also be performed every time the elapsed time since the pin member P0 was held by the drive device 50 (mounting head 20) exceeds a predetermined time. The acquisition of the position RP0 of the pin member P0 and the calculation of the correction amount of the target position G0 of the drive device 50 (mounting head 20) can also be performed every time the number of times the pin member P0 is used exceeds a predetermined number of times.

[0053] 1-2-6.Other As described above, the amount of the coating agent L0 held at the tip portion P1 of the pin member P0 increases as the number of dipping operations of the pin member P0 increases. Therefore, the coating device 70 can estimate the amount of the coating agent L0 held at the tip portion P1 of the pin member P0 based on the number of dipping operations.

[0054] However, the amount of coating agent L0 held at the tip portion P1 of the pin member P0 may increase or decrease slightly depending on the film thickness H0 (depth) of the coating agent L0 contained in the container 41 shown in Fig. 4. Specifically, when the number of dipping operations is the same, the amount of coating agent L0 held at the tip portion P1 of the pin member P0 increases as the film thickness H0 of the coating agent L0 increases.

[0055] Therefore, it is preferable that the coating device 70 obtains the amount of the coating agent L0 held at the tip portion P1 of the pin member P0 after the pin member P0 has been dipped into the coating agent L0 a predetermined number of times. For example, the coating device 70 can capture an image of the tip portion P1 of the pin member P0 from the side using the side camera 16 shown in Figures 1 and 4, and obtain the amount of the coating agent L0 held at the tip portion P1 of the pin member P0 from the image captured by the side camera 16.

[0056] In the present embodiment, the coating device 70 is provided in the component mounting machine 10. However, the coating device 70 may be provided in various substrate-related operation machines. For example, the coating device 70 may be provided in a printing machine.

[0057] 2. Examples of Effects of the Embodiments According to the coating device 70, the control unit 61 drives and controls the drive device 50 to dip the pin members P0 into the coating agent L0, thereby coating each of the multiple mounting sites 91 with the coating agent L0 held at the tip end P1 of the pin members P0. Thus, the coating device 70 can reduce the time required to dip the pin members P0 into the coating agent L0 and apply the coating agent L0 to the board 90, compared to the case where the coating agent L0 held at the tip end P1 of the pin members P0 is used to apply the coating agent L0 to one mounting site 91. What has been described above about the coating device 70 can also be said about the component mounting machine 10 equipped with the coating device 70. [Explanation of symbols]
