[0001] The present invention relates to a current supply device for an electronic component. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art There is known an apparatus for energizing electronic components while transporting the electronic components in one direction.

[0003] As an example of such an apparatus, Patent Document 1 discloses an electronic component inspection and sorting apparatus 200 that inspects the electrical characteristics of an electronic component 230 by energizing the electronic component 230 (see FIG. 18).

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2018-56483 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] As described above, in the electronic component inspection and sorting device described in Patent Document 1, the holes 220 accommodating the electronic components 230 that contact the same current-carrying terminal are located at the same radial position. Therefore, the external electrodes of the multiple electronic components 230 contact the same positions of the current-carrying terminals, so that the wear and dirt at the positions of the current-carrying terminals that contact the external electrodes becomes large, and the current-carrying state deteriorates.

[0006] The present invention is devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and has an object to provide an energizing device for electronic components that can suppress wear and dirt on energizing terminals. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The current supply device for electronic components of the present invention comprises: a transport body provided with a plurality of housing sections for housing electronic components having external electrodes, the transport body being capable of transporting the electronic components housed in the housing sections; A drive unit capable of driving the conveying body; a first current-carrying terminal capable of coming into contact with the external electrode of the electronic component accommodated in the accommodation portion; Equipped with The storage section is arranged so that, when the transport body is driven in a first direction by the drive section, the movement trajectories of each of the plurality of electronic components that contact the same first conductive terminal include movement trajectories that differ in position in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

[0008] In another aspect of the present invention, a current supply device for an electronic component includes: a transport body provided with a plurality of housing sections for housing electronic components having external electrodes, the transport body being capable of transporting the electronic components housed in the housing sections; A drive unit capable of driving the conveying body; a first current-carrying terminal capable of coming into contact with the external electrode of the electronic component accommodated in the accommodation portion; Equipped with a dimension of the accommodation portion in a second direction perpendicular to a first direction in which the transport body is driven by the drive portion is larger than a dimension of the electronic component accommodated in the accommodation portion in the second direction; A first suction hole is provided at one end side of the storage part in the second direction, and a second suction hole is provided at the other end side, The device further includes a suction mechanism capable of switching between suction through the first suction hole and suction through the second suction hole. Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to the electronic component energization device of the present invention, the housing section is provided so that when the transport body is driven in a first direction by the drive section, the movement trajectories of the electronic components that come into contact with the same first energizing terminal include movement trajectories that differ in position in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. With such a configuration, the positions at which the external electrodes of the electronic components come into contact with the first energizing terminals can be dispersed, thereby suppressing wear and dirt at the same location of the first energizing terminal. This makes it possible to suppress poor electrical conduction between the first energizing terminals and the external electrodes of the electronic components due to wear and dirt.

[0010] According to another aspect of the present invention, the size of the housing in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction in which the transport body is driven is larger than the size of the electronic component housed in the housing in the second direction, a first suction hole is provided at one end of the housing in the second direction, and a second suction hole is provided at the other end, and a suction mechanism is capable of switching between suction through the first suction hole and suction through the second suction hole. With this configuration, the position of the electronic component housed in the housing can be changed, so that the position where the external electrode of the electronic component contacts the first current-carrying terminal can be dispersed, and wear and dirt at the same location of the first current-carrying terminal can be suppressed. This makes it possible to suppress poor electrical conduction between the first current-carrying terminal and the external electrode of the electronic component due to wear and dirt.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] The features of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to embodiments of the present invention.

[0013] <First embodiment> Fig. 1 is a plan view showing a schematic configuration of an electronic component energization device 100 according to a first embodiment. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic partial structure of the electronic component energization device 100 shown in Fig. 1 cut at a position where a later-described energization terminal is provided. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic structure of the electronic component energization device 100 shown in Fig. 2 cut along line III-III. However, a first energization terminal 30 described later is omitted in Fig. 1.

[0014] The electronic component energization device 100 in the first embodiment includes a conveyor 10, a drive unit 20, and a first energization terminal 30. The electronic component energization device 100 may further include a second energization terminal 40, and may include a base member 50.

[0015] The transport body 10 is provided with a plurality of accommodation sections 11 for accommodating electronic components 1 having external electrodes 2a, 2b. In this embodiment, each accommodation section 11 is a through hole penetrating from the first main surface 10a to the second main surface 10b of the transport body 10. The transport body 10 is capable of transporting the electronic components 1 accommodated in the accommodation sections 11.

[0016] The electronic component 1 to be transported is, for example, a multilayer ceramic capacitor as shown in FIG. 4. The multilayer ceramic capacitor shown in FIG. 4 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape as a whole, and has a first external electrode 2a and a second external electrode 2b on its surface. In the multilayer ceramic capacitor shown in FIG. 4, the first external electrode 2a and the second external electrode 2b are provided at positions opposite to each other in the length direction L. The dimension of the multilayer ceramic capacitor in the length direction L is, for example, 0.1 mm or more and 7 mm or less, the dimension in the width direction W is, for example, 0.1 mm or more and 5 mm or less, and the dimension in the thickness direction T is, for example, 0.01 mm or more and 4 mm or less. However, the electronic component 1 is not limited to a multilayer ceramic capacitor, and may be a coil, a thermistor, a multilayer board, or the like.

[0017] In this embodiment, the conveying body 10 is a table having a rotatable disk shape. The conveying body 10 having a rotatable disk shape can realize miniaturization of the electronic component energization device 100. The conveying body 10 is made of, for example, glass, ceramics such as zirconia, resin, etc. The thickness of the conveying body 10 is, for example, 0.1 mm or more and 10 mm or less, and the diameter is, for example, 200 mm or more and 500 mm or less.

[0018] As described above, the conveying body 10 is provided with a plurality of storage sections 11. In this embodiment, a plurality of storage sections 11 are arranged in a row not only in the circumferential direction, which is the conveying direction, but also in the radial direction. However, the storage sections 11 may not be arranged in a radial direction, but may be arranged only in a circumferential direction. The diameter of a circle connecting the plurality of storage sections 11 arranged in a row in the circumferential direction is, for example, 20 mm or more and 480 mm or less. The number of the plurality of storage sections 11 arranged in a row in the circumferential direction is, for example, 50 or more and 1000 or less, and the interval between the adjacent storage sections 11 in the circumferential direction is, for example, 0.1 mm or more and 5 mm or less. In addition, the number of the plurality of storage sections 11 arranged in a row in the radial direction is, for example, 1 or more and 20 or less, and the interval between the adjacent storage sections 11 in the radial direction is, for example, 0.1 mm or more and 5 mm or less.

[0019] In this embodiment, one electronic component 1 is accommodated in one accommodation section 11. Specifically, the electronic component 1 is accommodated in the accommodation section 11 in such a manner that one of the first external electrode 2a and the second external electrode 2b is located on the first main surface 10a side of the transport body 10, and the other is located on the second main surface 10b side. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the first external electrode 2a is located on the first main surface 10a side of the transport body 10, and the second external electrode 2b is located on the second main surface 10b side. In this case, as shown in FIG. 2, it is preferable that the end of the first external electrode 2a in the length direction L is located outside the first main surface 10a of the transport body 10, and the end of the second external electrode 2b in the length direction L is located outside the second main surface 10b of the transport body 10.

[0020] The shape of the accommodation section 11 when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the first main surface 10a of the transport body 10 is, for example, circular. In this case, the diameter of the circular accommodation section 11 is greater than √2 times the dimension of the electronic component 1 in the width direction W and greater than √2 times the dimension of the electronic component 1 in the thickness direction T. However, the shape of the accommodation section 11 when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the first main surface 10a of the transport body 10 is not limited to circular, and may be rectangular or elliptical. When the shape of the accommodation section 11 is rectangular, the accommodation section 11 has a size such that a gap of, for example, 0.05 mm or more is generated between the accommodated electronic component 1 and the side wall constituting the accommodation section 11.

[0021] The accommodation portion 11 may have a tapered shape in which the size of the hole gradually decreases from the first main surface 10a side to the second main surface 10b side of the conveyor 10. When the accommodation portion 11 has the above-mentioned tapered shape, it becomes easier to accommodate the electronic component 1 in the accommodation portion 11 by a method such as transferring.

[0022] 1, for example, the electronic component 1 is supplied to the first main surface 10a of the transport body 10, accommodated in the accommodation section 11, transported in a first direction θ, i.e., the circumferential direction, and energized at an energization position A2. The electronic component 1 is then discharged from the accommodation section 11 at an ejection position A3. At the supply position A1, the electronic component 1 is supplied to the first main surface 10a of the transport body 10 by, for example, a vibrating feeder. However, there is no particular restriction on the method of supplying the electronic component 1 to the first main surface 10a of the transport body 10 and accommodating it in the accommodation section 11.

[0023] The driving unit 20 is configured to be able to drive the conveying body 10. The driving unit 20 is, for example, a motor arranged on the second main surface 10b side of the conveying body 10, and is connected to a rotating shaft attached to the center of the conveying body 10. In such a configuration, when the motor is driven, the conveying body 10 is driven in a rotation direction centered on the rotating shaft. That is, in this embodiment, the first direction θ, which is the driving direction of the conveying body 10, is the rotation direction, that is, the circumferential direction of the conveying body 10, which is circular in plan view. In addition, a second direction r perpendicular to the first direction θ, which will be described later, is the radial direction of the conveying body 10, which is circular in plan view.

[0024] The conveyor 10 may be driven continuously or intermittently. The rotation speed of the conveyor 10 when driven in the rotation direction is, for example, 1 rpm or more and 100 rpm or less.

[0025] In this embodiment, a base member 50 is disposed on the second main surface 10b side of the conveying body 10. The base member 50 is, for example, a table having a disk shape. The conveying body 10 is placed on a conveying surface 50a, which is one main surface of the base member 50, and rotates while sliding on the conveying surface 50a.

[0026] Fig. 5 is a partial enlarged view of the second main surface 10b side of the conveyance body 10. Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the conveyance body 10 shown in Fig. 5 taken along line VI-VI. Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the conveyance body 10 shown in Fig. 5 taken along line VII-VII.

[0027] 7, in this embodiment, a circular suction groove 51 is provided on the conveying surface 50a side of the base member 50. Also, a communication hole 52 communicating with the suction groove 51 is provided on the back surface 50b opposite to the conveying surface 50a of the base member 50. The communication hole 52 is connected to a suction device such as a suction pump.

[0028] The width of the suction groove 51 is, for example, 0.01 mm or more. The depth of the suction groove 51 is, for example, 0.01 mm or more. The suction pressure of the suction device is, for example, −0.5 kPa or more and less than 0 kPa.

[0029] The second main surface 10b side of the conveying body 10 has suction holes 12 provided independently for each of the plurality of storage sections 11. The suction holes 12 are provided at the same position in each of the plurality of storage sections 11. Here, "the same position" means the same position when the storage section 11 is viewed alone. The suction holes 12 communicate the suction device with the storage section 11. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the storage section 11 of the conveying body 10 does not face the suction groove 51 of the base member 50, but a part of the suction holes 12 faces the suction groove 51 of the base member 50. With such a structure, a suction path is formed that communicates from the suction device to the opening of the second main surface 10b side of the storage section 11 via the communication hole 52, the suction groove 51, and the suction hole 12. Therefore, when suction is performed by the suction device, the electronic component 1 accommodated in the storage section 11 is sucked through the communication hole 52, the suction groove 51, and the suction hole 12. As a result, the electronic component 1 is held at a position on the suction hole 12 side in the accommodation section 11, so that the electronic component 1 can be stably transported. In this embodiment, the suction device, the communication hole 52 of the base member 50, and the suction groove 51 constitute a suction mechanism capable of performing suction through the suction hole 12.

[0030] 5, the suction holes 12 are provided to extend in the radial direction. The groove width of the suction holes 12 is, for example, 0.01 mm or more and is equal to or less than the interval between the circumferentially adjacent storage portions 11. The depth of the suction holes 12 is, for example, 0.01 mm or more and is shorter than the thickness of the conveying body 10 by 0.1 mm or more.

[0031] In this embodiment, the conveying body 10 is provided with a common groove 13. The common groove 13 communicates with the openings on the second main surface 10b side of at least one of the storage sections 11, and is provided along the first direction θ, i.e., the rotation direction. In this embodiment, the conveying body 10 having a disk shape is driven in the rotation direction, so the common groove 13 is provided in an annular shape. In this embodiment, the common groove 13 communicates with the openings on the second main surface 10b side of all the storage sections 11, but may be configured not to communicate with some of the storage sections 11.

[0032] The groove width of the common groove 13 is, for example, 0.01 mm or more and not more than the radial dimension of the storage section 11. The depth of the common groove 13 is, for example, 0.01 mm or more and not more than the dimension that is 0.1 mm or more shorter than the thickness of the conveying body 10.

[0033] However, it may be possible to configure the device so that suction is performed for each storage portion 11 individually without providing the common groove 13.

[0034] The first current-carrying terminal 30 is a terminal for energizing the electronic component 1, and is provided so as to be able to come into contact with the external electrodes 2a, 2b of the electronic component 1 accommodated in the accommodation portion 11 of the transport body 10. The first current-carrying terminal 30 is provided in a fixed state on one of the first and second main surfaces 10a, 10b of the transport body 10 at a position spaced apart from the transport body 10.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first current-carrying terminal 30 is disposed on the first main surface 10a side of the transport body 10 at the current-carrying position A2, and contacts the first external electrode 2a of the electronic component 1. More specifically, while the transport body 10 is driven in the first direction θ by the drive unit 20, the multiple electronic components 1 respectively accommodated in the multiple accommodation units 11 are transported in the first direction θ, so that the first external electrodes 2a of the multiple electronic components 1 successively come into contact with the first current-carrying terminal 30.

[0036] When a plurality of accommodating portions 11 are provided in the radial direction as well as the circumferential direction of the conveying body 10, a plurality of first current-carrying terminals 30 are also arranged in the radial direction.

[0037] The first current-carrying terminal 30 has, for example, a roller-like shape that can rotate in the first direction θ in which the conveyor 10 is driven (see Figs. 2 and 3). Specifically, the first current-carrying terminal 30 has a cylindrical shape with a central axis parallel to the second direction r, and is configured to be rotatable around the central axis. The cross-sectional shape of the first current-carrying terminal 30 cut along a plane perpendicular to the extension direction of the central axis is circular. The parts of the first current-carrying terminal 30 that contact the first external electrode 2a and the second external electrode 2b of the electronic component 1 are made of a conductive material such as a metal such as iron, copper, or silver, or an alloy containing iron, copper, or silver. The parts of the first current-carrying terminal 30 that contact the external electrodes 2a and 2b of the electronic component 1 may be surface-treated with another conductive material.

[0038] The second current-carrying terminal 40 is a terminal for energizing the electronic component 1 together with the first current-carrying terminal 30, and is provided so as to be able to come into contact with the external electrodes 2a, 2b of the electronic component 1 accommodated in the accommodation portion 11 of the transport body 10. The second current-carrying terminal 40 is provided in a fixed state on the other of the first and second main surfaces 10a, 10b of the transport body 10, at a position spaced apart from the transport body 10.

[0039] In this embodiment, the second current-carrying terminal 40 is disposed on the second main surface 10b side of the transport body 10 at the current-carrying position A2, and contacts the second external electrode 2b of the electronic component 1. More specifically, while the transport body 10 is driven in the first direction θ by the drive unit 20, the multiple electronic components 1 respectively accommodated in the multiple accommodation units 11 are transported in the first direction θ, so that the second external electrodes 2b of the multiple electronic components 1 successively come into contact with the second current-carrying terminal 40.

[0040] The second current-carrying terminal 40 is, for example, a fixed terminal provided in a fixed state on the base member 50. Of the second current-carrying terminal 40, a portion that comes into contact with the second external electrode 2b of the electronic component 1 is made of a conductive material such as a metal such as iron, copper, or silver, or an alloy containing iron, copper, silver, or the like. In addition, of the second current-carrying terminal 40, a portion that comes into contact with the external electrodes 2a, 2b of the electronic component 1 may be surface-treated with another conductive material.

[0041] When the first current-carrying terminal 30 contacts the first external electrode 2a of the electronic component 1 and the second current-carrying terminal 40 contacts the second external electrode 2b, a voltage is applied between the first external electrode 2a and the second external electrode 2b, and electricity flows through the electronic component 1. By passing electricity through the electronic component 1, it is possible to measure the electrical characteristics of the electronic component 1 and to charge the multilayer ceramic capacitor which is the electronic component 1.

[0042] The shape of the first current-carrying terminal 30 is not limited to a roller shape. FIG. 8(a) is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic configuration of the first current-carrying terminal 30 made of a leaf spring. The first current-carrying terminal 30 shown in FIG. 8(a) elastically contacts the first external electrode 2a of the electronic component 1. That is, when the first current-carrying terminal 30 contacts the first external electrode 2a of the electronic component 1, it is pushed toward the opposite side to the electronic component 1, and at this time, an elastic force from the first current-carrying terminal 30 is applied to the electronic component 1. With such a configuration, it is possible to further improve the connection reliability between the first current-carrying terminal 30 and the first external electrode 2a of the electronic component 1.

[0043] Furthermore, the second current-carrying terminal 40 is not limited to being a fixed terminal, but may be a terminal having a roller shape similar to the first current-carrying terminal 30 (see FIG. 8(b)), or may be a terminal made of the leaf spring described above.

[0044] The electronic component energization device 100 in this embodiment is characterized by the positions of the multiple storage sections 11 provided on the transport body 10. That is, the storage sections 11 are provided so that when the transport body 10 is driven in the first direction θ by the drive section 20, the movement trajectories of the multiple electronic components 1 that come into contact with the same first energization terminal 30 include movement trajectories that are different in position in the second direction r perpendicular to the first direction θ. This will be described in detail.

[0045] In this embodiment, when the transport body 10 is driven by the drive unit 20, the accommodation units 11 that accommodate the electronic components 1 that come into contact with the same first current-carrying terminal 30 include accommodation units 11 that are located at different positions in the second direction r. That is, the accommodation units 11 that accommodate the electronic components 1 that come into contact with the same first current-carrying terminal 30 are not all located at the same positions in the second direction r, but include accommodation units that are located at different positions in the second direction r.

[0046] 1, electronic components 1 accommodated in accommodating sections 11a, 11b, 11c, and 11d contact the same first current-carrying terminal 30. Electronic components 1 accommodated in accommodating sections 11e, 11f, 11g, 11h, and 11i contact the same first current-carrying terminal 30. Electronic components 1 accommodated in accommodating sections 11j, 11k, 11l, and 11m contact the same first current-carrying terminal 30.

[0047] The electronic components 1 accommodated in the accommodating sections 11a, 11b, 11c, and 11d do not come into contact with the first current-carrying terminals 30 that come into contact with the electronic components 1 accommodated in the accommodating sections 11e, 11f, 11g, 11h, and 11i, respectively. The electronic components 1 accommodated in the accommodating sections 11e, 11f, 11g, 11h, and 11i do not come into contact with the first current-carrying terminals 30 that come into contact with the electronic components 1 accommodated in the accommodating sections 11a, 11b, 11c, and 11d, respectively, and do not come into contact with the first current-carrying terminals 30 that come into contact with the electronic components 1 accommodated in the accommodating sections 11j, 11k, 11l, and 11m, respectively. The electronic components 1 accommodated in the accommodation portions 11j, 11k, 11l, and 11m do not come into contact with the first current-carrying terminals 30 that come into contact with the electronic components 1 accommodated in the accommodation portions 11e, 11f, 11g, 11h, and 11i, respectively.

[0048] Of the electronic components 1 accommodated in accommodating sections 11a, 11b, 11c, and 11d, which come into contact with the same first current-carrying terminal 30, the movement trajectory of the electronic components 1 accommodated in accommodating sections 11a and 11b is different in position in the second direction r from the movement trajectory of the electronic components 1 accommodated in accommodating sections 11c and 11d. That is, of the accommodating sections 11a, 11b, 11c, and 11d which accommodate electronic components 1 which come into contact with the same first current-carrying terminal 30, the accommodating sections 11a and 11b are different in position from the accommodating sections 11c and 11d in the second direction r, as shown in FIG.

[0049] Furthermore, among the electronic components 1 accommodated in the accommodation sections 11e, 11f, 11g, 11h, and 11i that come into contact with the same first current-carrying terminal 30, the movement trajectory of the electronic components 1 accommodated in the accommodation sections 11e and 11f is different in position in the second direction r from the movement trajectory of the electronic components 1 accommodated in the accommodation sections 11g, 11h, and 11i. That is, among the accommodation sections 11e, 11f, 11g, 11h, and 11i that accommodate electronic components 1 that come into contact with the same first current-carrying terminal 30, the accommodation sections 11e and 11f are different in position from the accommodation sections 11g, 11h, and 11i in the second direction r, as shown in FIG.

[0050] Furthermore, among the electronic components 1 accommodated in the accommodation sections 11j, 11k, 11l, and 11m that come into contact with the same first current-carrying terminal 30, the movement trajectory of the electronic component 1 accommodated in the accommodation section 11j is different in position in the second direction r from the movement trajectories of the electronic components 1 accommodated in the accommodation sections 11k, 11l, and 11m. That is, among the accommodation sections 11j, 11k, 11l, and 11m that accommodate electronic components 1 that come into contact with the same first current-carrying terminal 30, the accommodation sections 11j are different in position from the accommodation sections 11k, 11l, and 11m in the second direction r, as shown in FIG.

[0051] 9, a circular conveying body 10 in a plan view is divided into a plurality of regions B1, B2, and B3 in a rotational direction that is a first direction θ, and the storage sections 11 are provided so that the positions of the storage sections 11 in different regions are different in a radial direction that is a second direction r. For example, the storage section 11 located in region B2 is provided at a position shifted by 0.5 mm in the second direction r from the storage section 11 located in region B1. Also, the storage section 11 located in region B3 is provided at a position shifted by 0.5 mm in the second direction r from the storage section 11 located in region B2. However, the distance shifted in the second direction r is not limited to 0.5 mm.

[0052] In the example shown in Fig. 9, the conveyor 10 is divided into three regions B1, B2, and B3 at 120° intervals in the rotation direction. Note that Fig. 9, unlike Fig. 1, shows only a plurality of accommodating sections 11 that accommodate an electronic component 1 that contacts one first energizing terminal 30, and in particular, shows the positions of the accommodating sections 11 so that it can be seen that the radial positions of the plurality of accommodating sections 11 provided in each of the three regions B1, B2, and B3 are different.

[0053] Among the divided regions B1, B2, and B3, the radial positions of the multiple accommodating sections 11 located in the same region are the same, but the radial positions of the accommodating sections 11 located in different regions are different. With such a configuration, among the movement trajectories of the multiple electronic components 1 in contact with the same first current-carrying terminal 30, the movement trajectory of the electronic component 1 accommodated in the accommodating section 11 in region B1, the movement trajectory of the electronic component 1 accommodated in the accommodating section 11 in region B2, and the movement trajectory of the electronic component 1 accommodated in the accommodating section 11 in region B3 are located at different positions in the second direction r and do not completely coincide with each other.

[0054] The movement trajectories of the electronic components 1 in contact with the same first current-carrying terminal 30 may at least partially overlap, or may not overlap at all. For example, when the distance between the two accommodating sections 11 that are different in position in the second direction r, i.e., the distance by which the accommodating section 11 is shifted in the second direction r, is longer than the dimension of the accommodating section 11 in the second direction r, the movement trajectories of the two electronic components 1 do not overlap at all. Also, when the distance between the two accommodating sections 11 that are different in position in the second direction r is shorter than the dimension of the accommodating section 11 in the second direction r, the movement trajectories of the two electronic components 1 may at least partially overlap. However, since the dimension of the electronic components 1 is smaller than the dimension of the accommodating section 11 in the second direction r, when the distance by which the accommodating section 11 is shifted in the second direction r is longer than the dimension of the electronic components 1 in the second direction r, the movement trajectories of the two electronic components 1 do not overlap at all.

[0055] In this manner, when the conveyor 10 is driven in the first direction θ by the drive unit 20, the accommodating unit 11 is provided so that the movement trajectories of the electronic components 1 in contact with the same first current-carrying terminal 30 include movement trajectories at different positions in the second direction r perpendicular to the first direction θ, thereby dispersing the positions at which the first external electrodes 2a of the electronic components 1 contact the first current-carrying terminals 30. This makes it possible to suppress wear and dirt at the same position of the first current-carrying terminals 30 compared to a conventional configuration in which the external electrodes of the electronic components contact the current-carrying terminals at the same positions, thereby making it possible to suppress poor electrical conduction between the first current-carrying terminals 30 and the first external electrodes 2a of the electronic components 1 due to wear and dirt.

[0056] For the same reason, the positions at which the second external electrode 2b of the electronic component 1 contacts the second current-carrying terminal 40 can be dispersed, thereby preventing wear and dirt from occurring at the same location on the second current-carrying terminal 40. This makes it possible to prevent poor electrical conductivity between the second current-carrying terminal 40 and the second external electrode 2b of the electronic component 1 from occurring due to wear and dirt.

[0057] In particular, in this embodiment, the multiple housing portions 11 that house electronic components 1 in contact with the same first current-carrying terminal 30 include housing portions 11 that are located at different positions in the second direction r, so that the positions at which the first external electrode 2a of the electronic component 1 comes into contact with the first current-carrying terminal 30 can be more reliably distributed. This makes it possible to more reliably prevent the electrical connection between the first current-carrying terminal 30 and the first external electrode 2a of the electronic component 1 from becoming poor. The same applies to the second current-carrying terminal 40.

[0058] Furthermore, by configuring the distance between two housing portions 11 at different positions in the second direction r to be longer than the dimension of the housing portions 11 in the second direction r, the movement trajectories of the two electronic components 1 do not overlap at all, so that it is possible to more effectively prevent wear and dirt from occurring at the same location of the first current-carrying terminal 30. This makes it possible to more effectively prevent the electrical connection between the first current-carrying terminal 30 and the first external electrode 2a of the electronic component 1 from becoming poor. The same applies to the second current-carrying terminal 40.

[0059] As described above, in this embodiment, the conveying body 10 has a rotatable disk-like shape, and the supply position A1, the energization position A2, and the discharge position A3 for the electronic component 1 are provided in the rotational direction. In conventional electronic component energization devices, it is not easy to change the contact position between the energization terminals and the electronic component with the conveying body attached, so it is particularly effective that the disk-like conveying body 10 has a function of dispersing the contact positions between the first energization terminals 30 and the electronic component 1, as in the electronic component energization device 100 of this embodiment.

[0060] 9, the electronic components 1 in contact with the same first current-carrying terminal 30 move along three trajectories, and therefore the positions at which the first external electrodes 2a of the electronic components 1 come into contact with the first current-carrying terminal 30 are distributed to three locations. However, the transport body 10 may be divided into two regions or four or more regions.

[0061] Furthermore, among the multiple accommodating sections 11 that accommodate electronic components 1 that contact the same first current-carrying terminal 30, the accommodating sections 11 that are positioned differently in the second direction r may be arranged in sequence in the circumferential direction or may be arranged randomly.

[0062] Here, with reference to Figure 10, we will explain the positional relationship between two of the multiple accommodating sections 11 that accommodate electronic components 1 that contact the same first current-carrying terminal 30, which are located at different radial positions in the second direction r.

[0063] In the radial direction, which is the second direction r, if the dimension of the first current-carrying terminal 30 is f1, the dimension of the external electrodes 2a, 2b of the electronic component 1 is W1, the dimension of the accommodating portion 11 is M1, and the distance in the second direction r between two accommodating portions 11 located at different positions in the second direction r is t1, the relationships in the following equations (1) to (3) hold. 1.1W1≦f1≦11W1 (1) 0.1W1≦t1≦10W1 (2) M1≦f1-t1 (3)

[0064] Here, an experiment was conducted to measure insulation resistance by energizing electronic component 1 using electronic component energization device 100 of the present embodiment and a conventional electronic component energization device in which multiple housing sections for housing electronic components that contact the same first energization terminal are provided at the same position in the second direction r. In electronic component energization device 100 of the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 9, conveyance body 10, which is circular in plan view, is divided into three regions B1, B2, and B3 at intervals of 120° in the rotation direction, and housing sections 11 are provided such that the positions of housing sections 11 in different regions are different in the second direction r.

[0065] 11 is a graph showing the relationship between the number of electronic components whose insulation resistance was measured and the rate of unmeasured insulation resistance. The rate of unmeasured insulation resistance is the rate of electronic components 1 whose insulation resistance could not be measured due to dirt or wear on the first and second current-carrying terminals 30 and 40 among the electronic components 1 that came into contact with the first and second current-carrying terminals 30 and 40.

[0066] As shown in FIG. 11, in the conventional electronic component energization device, when the number of electronic components 1 measured exceeded approximately 700,000, the rate of unmeasured insulation resistance increased sharply, and the rate of unmeasured insulation resistance exceeded 0.060% at its maximum.

[0067] In contrast to this, in the electronic component energization device 100 of this embodiment, the unmeasured rate remained almost unchanged until the number of measured electronic components 1 reached approximately 120,000. Furthermore, once the number of measured electronic components 1 exceeded approximately 130,000, the unmeasured rate gradually increased, but remained low at a maximum of 0.015% or less.

[0068] That is, in the electronic component energization device 100 of this embodiment in which the conveyor 10 is divided into three regions B1, B2, and B3 at 120° intervals in the rotation direction, the number of electronic components 1 that come into contact with the same positions of the first energization terminal 30 and the second energization terminal 40 is 1 / 3 compared to the conventional electronic component energization device. This makes it possible to suppress wear and dirt at the same positions of the first energization terminal 30 and the second energization terminal 40, thereby suppressing deterioration of the energization state when the electronic components 1 are energized and suppressing a decrease in the unmeasured rate of insulation resistance.

[0069] <Second embodiment> In the first embodiment of the electronic component energization device 100, the multiple storage sections 11 that store electronic components 1 that contact the same first energization terminal 30 include storage sections 11 that are positioned at different positions in a second direction r perpendicular to the first direction θ in which the conveying body 10 is driven.

[0070] In contrast, in the electronic component energization device 100 of the second embodiment, the positions in the second direction r of the multiple housing sections 11 that house electronic components 1 that come into contact with the same first energization terminal 30 are the same. However, in the electronic component energization device 100 of the second embodiment, the dimension of the housing section 11 in the second direction r is larger than the dimension of the electronic component 1 housed in the housing section 11 in the second direction r, and by changing the position of the electronic component 1 housed in the housing section 11, the positions at which the external electrodes 2a, 2b of the electronic component 1 come into contact with the first energization terminal 30 are dispersed.

[0071] FIG. 12 is a plan view that illustrates a schematic configuration of an energizing device 100 for an electronic component according to the second embodiment.

[0072] The positions in the second direction r of the multiple housings 11 housing electronic components 1 that contact the same first energizing terminal 30 are the same. As in the first embodiment, the electronic components 1 housed in housings 11a, 11b, 11c, and 11d contact the same first energizing terminal 30. The electronic components 1 housed in housings 11e, 11f, 11g, 11h, and 11i contact the same first energizing terminal 30. The electronic components 1 housed in housings 11j, 11k, 11l, and 11m contact the same first energizing terminal 30.

[0073] 12 shows a state in which the housing positions of the electronic components 1 housed in some of the housing sections 11 are changed among the plurality of housing sections 11. For example, among the electronic components 1 housed in housing sections 11a, 11b, 11c, and 11d that contact the same first energizing terminal 30, the electronic components 1 housed in housing sections 11a and 11b are located radially inside the housing sections, and the electronic components 1 housed in housing sections 11c and 11d are located radially outside the housing sections. Therefore, the movement trajectories of the electronic components 1 housed in housing sections 11a and 11b are different in position in the second direction r from the movement trajectories of the electronic components 1 housed in housing sections 11c and 11d.

[0074] Furthermore, among the electronic components 1 accommodated in the accommodating sections 11e, 11f, 11g, 11h, and 11i that come into contact with the same first energizing terminal 30, the electronic components 1 accommodated in the accommodating sections 11e and 11f are located radially inside the accommodating section, while the electronic components 1 accommodated in the accommodating sections 11g, 11h, and 11i are located radially outside the accommodating section. Therefore, the movement trajectories of the electronic components 1 accommodated in the accommodating sections 11e and 11f differ in position in the second direction r from the movement trajectories of the electronic components 1 accommodated in the accommodating sections 11g, 11h, and 11i.

[0075] Furthermore, among the electronic components 1 accommodated in the accommodation sections 11j, 11k, 11l, and 11m that come into contact with the same first current-carrying terminal 30, the electronic component 1 accommodated in the accommodation section 11j is located radially inside the accommodation section, while the electronic components 1 accommodated in the accommodation sections 11k, 11l, and 11m are located radially outside the accommodation section. For this reason, the movement trajectory of the electronic component 1 accommodated in the accommodation section 11j differs in position in the second direction r from the movement trajectories of the electronic components 1 accommodated in the accommodation sections 11k, 11l, and 11m.

[0076] In this embodiment, the dimension of the accommodation portion 11 in the second direction r is at least twice as large as the dimension of the electronic component 1 accommodated in the accommodation portion 11 in the second direction r. With such a configuration, the movement trajectory of the electronic component 1 located at one end of the accommodation portion 11 in the second direction r does not completely overlap with the movement trajectory of the electronic component 1 located at the other end, so that wear and dirt at the same location of the first current-carrying terminal 30 can be more effectively suppressed.

[0077] In the present embodiment, the electronic component energization device 100 is configured to be able to switch the accommodation position of the electronic component 1 that is transported in a state accommodated in the accommodation section 11 of the transport body 10. Specifically, a first suction hole 14 is provided at one end side of the accommodation section 11 in the second direction r, a second suction hole 15 is provided at the other end side, and a suction mechanism is provided that can switch between suction through the first suction hole 14 and suction through the second suction hole 15 (see FIG. 13 ). That is, when the suction mechanism performs suction from one end side of the accommodation section 11 in the second direction r, for example, from the radially inner side which is the second direction r, the electronic component 1 is held at a radially inner position of the accommodation section 11, and when the suction mechanism performs suction from the radially outer side, the electronic component 1 is held at a radially outer position of the accommodation section 11.

[0078] For example, while a configuration in which electronic component 1 is held at one end side in the radial direction of housing portion 11 by a suction mechanism is shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, a similar configuration may be provided at the other end side in the radial direction of housing portion 11.

[0079] The storage position of the electronic component 1 in the second direction r may be switched, for example, every time the transport body 10 rotates once, or may be switched at a predetermined time interval. That is, the storage position may be switched at any timing. However, the transport body 10 may be configured to have a storage section 11 with a first suction hole 14 provided at one end side in the second direction r and a storage section 11 with a second suction hole 15 provided at the other end side in the second direction r, without switching the storage positions of the individual storage sections 11. That is, the storage sections 11 that store electronic components 1 in contact with the same first current-carrying terminal 30 may include storage sections 11 with suction holes at different positions in the second direction r.

[0080] 13 is a diagram showing the positional relationship between electronic component 1 held at one end of housing section 11 in the second direction r and electronic component 1 held at the other end in the second direction r. If the dimension of first current-carrying terminal 30 in the radial direction that is the second direction r is f1, the dimension of external electrodes 2a, 2b of electronic component 1 is W1, the dimension of housing section 11 is M1, and the distance in the second direction r between electronic component 1 held at one end of housing section 11 in the second direction r and electronic component 1 held at the other end in the second direction r is t2, the relationships of the following equations (4) to (6) hold. 1.1W1≦f1≦11W1 (4) 0.1W1≦t2≦10W1 (5) M1≦f1 (6)

[0081] According to the electronic component energization device 100 of the present embodiment, the position where the electronic component 1 is accommodated inside the accommodation section 11 of the transport body 10 is switched, so that the position where the electronic component 1 comes into contact with the first energizing terminal 30 can be dispersed. This makes it possible to suppress wear and dirt at the same position of the first energizing terminal 30, and to suppress poor electrical conduction between the first energizing terminal 30 and the first external electrode 2a of the electronic component 1 due to wear and dirt. Similarly, it is possible to suppress wear and dirt at the same position of the second energizing terminal 40, and to suppress poor electrical conduction between the second energizing terminal 40 and the second external electrode 2b of the electronic component 1 due to wear and dirt.

[0082] <Third embodiment> In the electronic component energization device 100 in the first and second embodiments described above, a first energization terminal 30 is provided on one main surface of the transport body 10, and a second energization terminal 40 is provided on the other main surface.

[0083] In contrast, in the electronic component energization device 100 of the third embodiment, the first energization terminal 30 and the second energization terminal 40 are provided on one main surface of the transport body 10 .

[0084] Here, similar to the electronic component energization device 100 in the first embodiment, the multiple accommodating sections 11 that accommodate electronic components 1 that contact the same first energization terminal 30 are described as including accommodating sections 11 that are positioned differently in the second direction r.

[0085] Figure 14 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic configuration of an electronic component energization device 100 in the third embodiment, and (a) and (b) show a state in which electronic components 1 accommodated in accommodating sections 11 having different radial positions in the second direction r among the accommodating sections 11 that accommodate electronic components 1 that contact the same first energization terminal 30 and the same second energization terminal 40 are in contact with the first energization terminal 30 and the second energization terminal 40, respectively.

[0086] The conveying body 10 is provided with a plurality of storage sections 11. In this embodiment, each of the plurality of storage sections 11 is provided on one main surface side of the conveying body 10, and has a concave shape rather than a through hole. In the example shown in FIG. 14, each of the plurality of storage sections 11 is provided on the first main surface 10a side of the conveying body 10.

[0087] The electronic component 1 has a first external electrode 2a and a second external electrode 2b on one main surface. When the electronic component 1 is accommodated in the accommodation portion 11 of the carrier 10, for example, one of the first external electrode 2a and the second external electrode 2b of the electronic component 1 is located on the inner side in the radial direction, which is the second direction r, and the other external electrode is located on the outer side in the radial direction.

[0088] When the electronic component 1 is energized, the first energizing terminal 30 contacts one of the first external electrode 2a and the second external electrode 2b of the electronic component 1, and the second energizing terminal 40 contacts the other external electrode. The example shown in Fig. 14 shows a state in which the first energizing terminal 30 contacts the first external electrode 2a of the electronic component 1, and the second energizing terminal 40 contacts the second external electrode 2b.

[0089] In this embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, the accommodation sections 11 for accommodating electronic components 1 in contact with the same first current-carrying terminal 30 include accommodation sections 11 at different positions in a second direction r perpendicular to the first direction θ in which the transport body 10 is driven. That is, the plurality of accommodation sections 11 for accommodating electronic components 1 in contact with the same first current-carrying terminal 30 include accommodation sections 11 at different positions in the second direction r.

[0090] With such a configuration, like the electronic component energization device 100 in the first embodiment, the electronic component energization device 100 in this embodiment can distribute the positions at which the first external electrodes 2a of the multiple electronic components 1 contact the same first energization terminal 30. This can suppress wear and dirt at the same position of the first energization terminal 30, and therefore suppress deterioration of the energization state when the electronic component 1 is energized due to wear and dirt.

[0091] In the electronic component energization device of the third embodiment, similarly to the electronic component energization device of the second embodiment, the positions of the multiple accommodating sections 11 that accommodate electronic components 1 that contact the same first energization terminal 30 in the second direction r are the same, but the positions of the electronic components 1 accommodated in the accommodating sections 11 may be changed so that the positions at which the external electrodes 2a, 2b of the electronic components 1 contact the first energization terminal 30 are dispersed.

[0092] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various applications and modifications are possible within the scope of the present invention.

[0093] In each of the above-described embodiments, the conveying body 10 has been described as having a disk-like shape, but the shape of the conveying body 10 is not limited to a disk-like shape. For example, as shown in FIG. 15, the shape of the conveying body 10 may be a flat plate shape. When the shape of the conveying body 10 is a flat plate shape, the conveying body 10 is driven in a direction parallel to the main surface. In this case, the driving speed of the conveying body 10 is, for example, 0.1 m / s or more and 10 m / s or less.

[0094] Also, as shown in Fig. 16, the shape of the conveying body 10 may be cylindrical. A plurality of storage sections 11 are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the conveying body 10 shown in Fig. 16. In this case, the conveying body 10 is driven to rotate in the circumferential direction.

[0095] Also, the shape of the conveyor 10 may be a belt-like shape as shown in Fig. 17. The conveyor 10 shown in Fig. 17 has a shape of an endless rotating belt, but may have a shape of a belt with ends.

[0096] However, when the conveying body 10 has a disk-like or flat plate-like shape, processing is easier when forming the multiple storage portions 11 compared to when the conveying body 10 has a cylindrical or belt-like shape.
