Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present specification discloses a substrate-related operation machine, an operation line, and a method of operating the substrate-related operation machine. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a proposed substrate-related operation machine of this type includes a base and a module having a mounting head for mounting components onto a substrate and switchable between a production position where the substrate is produced relative to the base and an offset position displaced from the production position (see, for example, Patent Document 1). A plurality of substrate-related operation machines are arranged in the substrate transport direction to form a production line. Each substrate-related operation machine has two operating modes: a production mode in which the module is positioned at the production position, and an operation check mode in which the module is positioned at the offset position. The operating speed of the mounting head in the operation check mode is slower than the operating speed of the mounting head in the production mode. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] International Publication No. 2018 / 179200 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] By moving a module to be worked on from the production position to an offset position, among multiple modules arranged in the substrate transport direction, a worker can expose the side of the module to be worked on and easily access the interior of the module through an opening formed in the side. However, when the module to be worked on is moved to the offset position, the side of the module adjacent to the module to be worked on is also exposed, allowing the worker to access the interior of modules other than the module to be worked on. To ensure safety, it is possible to install a sheet member to cover the opening of the module other than the module to be worked on so that the worker cannot access the interior of the module other than the module to be worked on. However, when a worker performs maintenance on a module with the sheet member installed, the sheet member must be removed, which reduces maintainability.

[0005] A primary object of the present disclosure is to ensure the safety of workers in a substrate-related operation machine that constitutes a work line in which multiple machines are used. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present disclosure has adopted the following means to achieve the above-mentioned main object.

[0007] The substrate-related operating machine of the present disclosure includes: A substrate-related operation machine is arranged in a plurality of positions along a substrate transport direction to form an operation line, and performs a predetermined operation on the substrate, With the base, a module mounted on the base, the module having a work implement and movable relative to the base between a first position on the work line and a second position offset from the first position; a control unit that controls the operating device so that the predetermined operation is performed on the substrate while the module is at the first position, and stops operation of the operating device when the module of an adjacent substrate-related operating device on the operation line moves from the first position to the second position; The gist of the project is to provide the following:

[0008] With the substrate-related work machine disclosed herein, when a worker performs work such as checking the interior, the operation of the work equipment of adjacent modules or substrate-related work machines is stopped, thereby ensuring the safety of the worker.

FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the component mounting line 1 with one module 30 pulled out. FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing the electrical connection relationship between the component mounters 10 and the management device 50 on the component mounting line 1. Note that in FIGS. 1 to 3, the left-right direction indicates the X-axis direction, the front (nearby) and back (farther) direction indicates the Y-axis direction, and the up-down direction indicates the Z-axis direction.

[0012] The component mounting line 1 of this embodiment produces (manufactures) a board S on which components are mounted, and as shown in FIG. 1, includes a plurality of component mounting machines 10 arranged along the board transport direction, and a management device 50 (see FIG. 10) that manages the entire line.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 2, each mounter 10 includes a base 20, a module 30 installed on the base 20, and a control device 40 (see FIG. 10).

[0014] 2 and 3, the module 30 includes a feeder 32, a substrate transport device 33, a head 34, a head moving device 35, etc. These are covered by a box-shaped housing 31.

[0015] Openings 311a and 312a are formed in the left and right walls 311 and 312 (side walls perpendicular to the board transport direction) of the housing 31. A flip-up cover member 313 that can be opened and closed is provided on the front of the housing 31. The cover member 313 is provided with an operation panel 38, which is a touch panel display that displays various information such as the operating status of the component mounter 10 and allows the operator to input various information.

[0016] The feeder 32 is detachably mounted on a feeder table installed at the front of the component mounter 10. The feeder 32 is a tape feeder that includes, for example, a carrier tape in which components are housed in a plurality of cavities formed at predetermined intervals, a reel around which the carrier tape is wound, and a tape feeding device that unwinds and feeds the carrier tape from the reel.

[0017] The substrate transport device 33 is a belt conveyor device that transports the substrate S left and right (in the X-axis direction) using a conveyor belt. This substrate transport device 33 includes a pair of front and rear conveyor belts that are each hung over a pair of rollers and arranged at a predetermined interval in the front and rear (in the Y-axis direction), and a belt drive device that drives the conveyor belts in a circular motion. The substrate transport device 33 receives the substrate S from the substrate transport device 33 of the adjacent module 30 on the left side (upstream side) through the opening 311a in the left side wall 311, and delivers the substrate S to the substrate transport device 33 of the adjacent module 30 on the right side (downstream side) through the opening 312a in the right side wall 312.

[0018] The head 34 includes a holder to which a suction nozzle serving as a pick-up member is detachably attached, and an elevator that raises and lowers the holder. Negative pressure is supplied to the suction nozzle from a negative pressure source via an electromagnetic valve, and the suction nozzle is able to pick up (pick up) a component by the negative pressure.

[0019] The head moving device 35 moves the head 34 back and forth and left and right (in the X and Y axis directions). The head moving device 35 has a Y-axis slider that moves back and forth (in the Y axis direction) when driven by a Y-axis motor, and an X-axis slider that moves left and right (in the X axis direction) relative to the Y-axis slider when driven by an X-axis motor. The head 34 is attached to the X-axis slider, and moves back and forth and left and right (in the X and Y axis directions) when driven by the X and Y-axis motors.

[0020] 2 and 3, a pair of left and right guide grooves 211a extending in the front-to-rear direction (Y-axis direction) is provided on the upper surface of the upper wall 211 of the base 20. Wheels 315 (see FIGS. 7A and 7B) are provided on the lower surface of the bottom wall 314 of the module 30, and the wheels 315 roll on the guide grooves 211a, allowing the module 30 to slide relative to the base 20 in a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the modules 30, i.e., in the front-to-rear direction (Y-axis direction). The base 20 is also provided with a clamping device 25 for clamping the module 30 to the base 20 and a locking device 26 for locking the module 30.

[0021] As shown in Fig. 5 and Figs. 7A and 7B, the clamping device 25 includes a cylinder 251, a piston rod 252, and a clamper 254. The piston rod 252 is connected to a piston that slides inside the cylinder 251 and is extendable and retractable relative to the cylinder 251. The base end of the cylinder 251 is swingably supported by a cylinder swing shaft 253 fixed to the lower surface of the upper wall 211. The clamper 254 is a rod-shaped swinging member. A central portion of the clamper 254 is swingably attached to a clamper swing shaft 255 fixed to the upper wall 211 of the base 20. The base end of the clamper 254 is rotatably connected to the tip end of the piston rod 252.

[0022] 7A, when the piston rod 252 contracts relative to the cylinder 251, the clamper 254 swings counterclockwise in the figure about the clamper swing shaft 255. Then, the tip 254a of the clamper 254 is recessed into the opening 211b formed in the upper wall 211 of the base 20. This allows the module 30 to slide forward (toward this side) relative to the base 20. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the piston rod 252 expands relative to the cylinder 251, the clamper 254 swings clockwise in the figure about the clamper swing shaft 255. The tip 254a of the clamper 254 protrudes upward beyond the opening 211b of the upper wall 211 of the base 20 and engages with a recess 314a provided in the lower surface of the bottom wall 314 of the module 30. With the tip end 245a engaged with the recess 314a, the module 30 is pulled rearward by the swinging of the clamper 254 caused by the extension of the piston rod 252. The module 30 is then clamped when its bottom wall 314 rides up on a ride-on portion 211b that protrudes upward from the upper surface of the upper wall 211 of the base 20. Furthermore, with the tip end 245a engaged with the recess 314a, the module 30 is pushed forward by the swinging of the clamper 254 caused by the contraction of the piston rod 252. The module 30 is then unclamped when the state in which the bottom wall 314 rides up on the ride-on portion 211a is released.

[0023] The locking device 26 fixes (locks) the module 30 to the base 20 by pressing the module 30 downward while the module 30 is clamped by the clamping device 25. The locking devices 26 are provided at multiple locations on the base 20 (for example, four locations: the left front, right front, left rear, and right rear). As shown in FIGS. 6 and 8A and 8B, the locking device 26 includes a cylinder 261, a piston rod 262, and a pressing member 263. The piston rod 262 is connected to a piston that slides within the cylinder 261 and is extendable and retractable relative to the cylinder 261. An elongated hole 314b extending in the front-rear direction (Y-axis direction) is formed in the bottom wall 314 of the module 30. The piston rod 262 protrudes upward so as to pass through the elongated hole 314b. The pressing member 263 is connected to the tip of the piston rod 262 at a position above the bottom wall 314. The pressing member 263 may be connected to the piston rod 262 via a transmission member.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 8A, when the piston rod 262 expands relative to the cylinder 261, the pressing member 263 moves upward away from the bottom wall 314 of the module 30. This puts the module 30 in an unlocked state, where it is unlocked from the base 20. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8B, when the piston rod 262 contracts relative to the cylinder 261, the pressing member 263 engages with an engaged portion 314c formed on the periphery of the elongated hole 314b in the bottom wall 314. Then, the pressing member 263 presses the module 30 toward the base 20 by the pulling force generated by the contraction of the cylinder 261, thereby locking the module 30.

[0025] In this way, when locking device 26 is in the locked state or clamping device 25 is in the clamped state, module 30 cannot slide, but by releasing the locking state and the clamping state, module 30 can slide back and forth relative to base 20. As a result, as shown in Fig. 9, by pulling one module 30 forward, left side wall 311 and right side wall 312 of that module 30 are exposed to the outside, and an operator can perform work while checking the state of the interior of that module 30 through openings 311a, 312a formed in left side wall 311 and right side wall 312, respectively.

[0026] 10, the control device 40 of each module 30 is configured as a microprocessor centered around a CPU 41, and in addition to the CPU 41, includes a ROM 42, a RAM 43, and an input / output interface. The control device 40 receives detection signals from a position sensor that detects the position of the head 34 and a cover opening / closing sensor 313a that detects the opening / closing of the cover member 313, operation signals from an operation panel 38, and image signals from the part camera 36 and mark camera 37. The control device 40 also outputs control signals to the feeder 32, the board transport device 33, the head moving device 35, the part camera 36, ​​the mark camera 37, etc., and outputs display signals to the operation panel 38. The control devices 40 are connected to adjacent modules 30 on the component mounting line 1 so that they can communicate with each other, exchanging operation status and various signals.

[0027] The management device 50 is a general-purpose computer including a CPU, ROM, RAM, storage device (hard disk or SSD), etc., and is communicably connected to the control device 40 of each mounter 10. The management device 50 generates production jobs that determine which components are to be mounted on which boards in each mounter 10, and how many boards with such components mounted on them are to be produced. The management device 50 then instructs each mounter 10 to perform production by sending the generated production jobs to each mounter 10 (control device 40).

[0028] Next, the operation of the component mounting line 1 of this embodiment configured as described above will be described. When a production command is received, the CPU 41 of the control device 40 of each module 30 performs a mounting process to mount components on the board S in accordance with the production job. That is, in the mounting process, the CPU 41 first controls the head moving device 35 to move the head 34 above the component supply position of the feeder 32. Next, the CPU 41 controls the elevator device to lower the suction nozzle so that the component is picked up by the suction nozzle. Next, the CPU 41 controls the head moving device 35 to move the component picked up by the suction nozzle above the part camera 36, ​​and the part camera 36 captures an image of the component. After capturing the image, the CPU 41 processes the captured image of the component to measure the amount of suction deviation of the component and corrects the mounting position of the component on the board S. Then, the CPU 41 controls the head moving device 35 to move the component picked up by the suction nozzle above the corrected mounting position, and the elevator device to lower the suction nozzle so that the component is mounted on the board S.

[0029] Next, we will explain the operation when an operator pulls out a module 30 (component mounter 10) in order to check the status, for example, when some abnormality occurs in one of the modules 30 (component mounters 10) on the component mounting line 1 and the module 30 stops operating. A request to pull out a module 30 can be made by the operator operating the operation panel 38 installed on the module 30 when the module 30 to be pulled out has stopped operating.

[0030] First, the operation of the modules 30 adjacent to the left and right of the module 30 to be drawn will be described. Fig. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of safety processing executed by the CPU 41 of the control device 40. This processing is repeatedly executed at predetermined time intervals.

[0031] When safety processing is executed, the CPU 41 of the control device 40 first determines whether or not there are any boards S to be produced (step S100). If the CPU 41 determines that there are no boards S to be produced, it ends the safety processing. On the other hand, if the CPU 41 determines that there are boards S to be produced, it checks the communication state with the adjacent module 30 to determine whether communication between the modules is normal (step S110). If the CPU 41 determines that communication between the modules is not normal, it proceeds to S170.

[0032] When the CPU 41 determines that communication between modules is normal, it determines whether or not an operator has requested the adjacent module 30 to be drawn out (drawing request) (step S120), whether or not the adjacent module 30 is in a drawn-out state (step S130), and whether or not the cover member 313 of the adjacent module 30 is in an open state (step S140). The determination in step S120 is made based on an operation signal obtained by acquiring an operation signal from the operation panel 38 from the control device 40 of the adjacent module 30 via communication. The determination in step S130 is made based on the state of the module 30 acquired by acquiring the state from the control device 40 of the adjacent module 30 via communication. The determination in step S140 is made based on a detection signal obtained by acquiring a detection signal from the cover open / close sensor 313a from the control device 40 of the adjacent module 30 via communication.

[0033] If the CPU 41 determines in steps S120 to S140 that there is no withdrawal request for the adjacent module 30, that the adjacent module 30 is not in the withdrawn state, and that the cover member 313 of the adjacent module 30 is not in the open state, it determines whether the head 34 is out of operation (step S150). If the CPU 41 determines that the head 34 is not out of operation, it ends the safety processing, and if it determines that the head 34 is out of operation, it starts the operation of the head 34 so that components are mounted on the board S in accordance with the production job (step S160), and ends the safety processing.

[0034] On the other hand, if the CPU 41 determines in steps S110 to S140 that communication between modules is not normal, that a withdrawal request has been made to the adjacent module 30, that the adjacent module 30 is in the withdrawn state, or that the cover member 313 of the adjacent module 30 is in the open state, it determines whether the head 34 is in a stopped state (step S170). If the CPU 41 determines that the head 34 is in a stopped state, it ends the safety processing. On the other hand, if the CPU 41 determines that the head 34 is not in a stopped state, it determines whether the head 34 is in a cyclic operation (step S180). Here, the cyclic operation is the operation of the head 34, with one cycle consisting of the start of a pickup operation to pick up a component from the feeder 32 and the end of a mounting operation to mount the picked-up component on the board S. If the CPU 41 determines that the head 34 is not in a cyclic operation, it stops the operation of the head 34 (step S190) and ends the safety processing. On the other hand, if the CPU 41 determines that a cycle operation is in progress, it waits until the cycle operation ends, then stops the operation of the head 34 (step S190), and ends the safety process.

[0035] As described above, in this embodiment, the CPU 41 stops the operation of the head 34 when it is unable to communicate normally with the adjacent module 30, when a request to withdraw the adjacent module 30 is made, when the adjacent module 30 is in a withdrawn state, or when the cover member 313 of the adjacent module 30 is open. Furthermore, the CPU 41 starts the operation of the head 34 when it is able to communicate normally with the adjacent module 30, when the adjacent module 30 is not requested to be withdrawn, when the adjacent module 30 is not in a withdrawn state, and when the cover member 313 of the adjacent module 30 is not in an open state. This ensures safety when an operator pulls out a module 30 to be pulled out and performs work. When an operator pulls out a module 30 to be pulled out, as shown in FIG. 9 , not only the module 30 to be pulled out but also the opening 312a in the right side wall 312 of the module 30 to the left and the opening 311a in the left side wall 311 of the module 30 to the right are exposed to the outside. This ensures safety even if the operator reaches into the interior of the adjacent module 30. Furthermore, when the cover member 313 of a module 30 is open, the opening is spatially connected to the adjacent module 30 through the openings 311a, 312a in the left side wall 311 or right side wall 312 of the module 30, so safety is ensured even if an operator reaches out to the adjacent module 30 through the opening.

[0036] Next, the operation of the module 30 to be drawn out will be described. Fig. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of the unlocking process executed by the CPU 41 of the control device 40. This process is executed when an operator requests to draw out the module 30 while the module 30 is stopped.

[0037] When the unlocking process is executed, the CPU 41 of the control device 40 first determines whether communication between adjacent modules 30 is normal (step S200). If the CPU 41 determines that communication between the modules 30 is not normal, it ends the unlocking process. In this case, the locking device 26 does not release the lock on the module 30, and the worker cannot pull out the module 30. This is because the CPU 41 cannot determine whether the module 30 can be safely pulled out because it cannot grasp the operating status of the adjacent modules 30.

[0038] On the other hand, if the CPU 41 determines that communication between the modules 30 is normal, it acquires the operation status of the adjacent modules 30 on the left and right (step S210). The operation status is acquired by receiving a signal indicating the operation status from the control device 40 of the adjacent module 30 via communication. The operation status includes information on whether the head is operating or stopped.

[0039] Next, the CPU 41 determines whether the operation status of the adjacent module 30 is head stopped (step S220). If the CPU 41 determines that the operation status of the adjacent module 30 is not head stopped but head operating, the CPU 41 returns to step S200 without unlocking the module 30. In other words, if the head 34 of the adjacent module 30 is operating, the operator cannot pull out the module 30 until that operation is completed. As described above, the module 30 stops the operation of the head 34 when it receives a signal related to a pull-out request or a signal indicating that the cover member 313 is open from the adjacent module 30. Therefore, the processing of step S230 is processing to wait until the adjacent module 30 receives a pull-out request or an open state and stops the operation of the head 34.

[0040] When the CPU 41 determines that the operation status of the adjacent module 30 is head stopped, it controls the locking device 26 to unlock the module 30 and also controls the clamping device 25 to unlock the module 30 (step S230), thereby terminating the unlocking process. This allows the worker to pull out the module 30 and check the internal state through the openings 311a, 312a in the left and right side walls 311, 312 of the module 30, and perform the necessary work.

[0041] Here, the correspondence between the components of this embodiment and the components of the present invention will be clarified. The component mounting line 1 of this embodiment corresponds to the work line of the present disclosure, the component mounter 10 corresponds to the substrate-related work machine, the base 20 corresponds to the base, the head 34 corresponds to the work equipment, the module 30 corresponds to the module, and the control device 40 corresponds to the control unit. Furthermore, the clamp device 25 and the lock device 26 correspond to the lock unit. Furthermore, the cover member 313 corresponds to the cover.

[0042] It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be embodied in various forms as long as they fall within the technical scope of the present invention.

[0043] For example, in the above-described embodiment, in the unlocking process, the CPU 41 unlocks the module 30 when the cover member 313 of the adjacent module 30 is closed and the operation status of the adjacent module 30 is head stopped. However, the CPU 41 may unlock the module 30 regardless of whether the cover member 313 is open or closed as long as the operation status of the module 30 is head stopped.

[0044] In the above-described embodiment, each mounter 10 is equipped with a clamping device 25 that clamps the module 30 to the base 20, and a locking device 26 that locks the module 30 to the base 20. However, each mounter 10 may be equipped with only one of the clamping device 25 and the locking device 26.

[0045] In the above-described embodiment, the substrate-related operation machine of the present disclosure has been described as being applied to a component mounter 10 that mounts components on a board. However, the present disclosure may be applied to any other substrate-related operation machine, such as a printer that prints solder on a board, an adhesive applicator that applies adhesive to a board, or an inspection machine that inspects the results of these operations on a board.

[0046] As described above, with the substrate-related work machine of the present disclosure, when an operator is performing work such as checking the interior, the operation of the work equipment of the adjacent module or substrate-related work machine is stopped, thereby ensuring the safety of the operator.

[0047] In the substrate-related performing machine of the present disclosure, the control unit may perform the predetermined operation by repeating a cycle operation, and when the module of the adjacent substrate-related performing machine moves from the first position to the second position while the cycle operation is being performed, the control unit may stop the operation of the performing device after the cycle operation currently being performed ends. This makes it possible to avoid the performing device from stopping operation in the middle of a task.

[0048] The substrate-related performing machine of the present disclosure may also be configured as follows. That is, a second substrate-related performing machine of the present disclosure may include a locking unit that locks the module to prevent movement at the first position, and a control unit that, when movement from the first position to the second position is requested, releases the locking by the locking unit after the operation of the operation device of an adjacent substrate-related performing machine on the work line has stopped. This prevents the target module from moving to the second position while the operation device of the adjacent module is in operation, ensuring safety. In this case, the control unit may be communicatively connected to the substrate-related performing machine adjacent to the work line, and when movement from the first position to the second position is requested, the control unit may acquire the status of the adjacent substrate-related performing machine via communication, determine whether the operation of the operation device of the adjacent substrate-related performing machine has stopped, and release the locking by the locking unit if it determines that the operation has stopped. This allows the status of the adjacent substrate-related performing machine to be known via communication and respond appropriately. Furthermore, in this case, if the control unit cannot communicate with the adjacent substrate-related performing apparatus, the control unit may not release the lock provided by the lock unit even if movement from the first position to the second position is requested. This makes it possible to appropriately deal with communication failures.

[0049] The present disclosure may also be configured as a work line composed of a plurality of substrate-related performing machines arranged along the substrate transport direction. That is, the substrate-related performing machines may include a performing device and an openable / closable cover, and the work line may include a control unit that controls the performing device so that a predetermined operation is performed on the substrate when the cover of an adjacent substrate-related performing machine on the work line is in the closed position, and stops the operation of the performing device when the cover of the adjacent substrate-related performing machine is in the open position. This ensures safety even when an operator attempts to access an adjacent substrate-related performing machine through an opening in the cover.
