[0041] (Configuration of parts supply device) The configuration of a component supplying device 10a according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0042] 3, the component supply device 10a is configured to supply components 31 to be mounted to the head unit 4 (mounting head 42). The component supply device 10a supplies the components 31 from a tubular magazine stick 33 that stores the components 31 to be mounted on the board S.

[0043] The component supply device 10a includes a guide section 11 and a component delivery section 16. The guide section 11 includes a base section 11a, a first guide section 13, and a second guide section .

[0044] A plurality of first guide portions 13 and a plurality of second guide portions 14 can be fixed to the base portion 11a. That is, the component supply device 10a can hold a plurality of magazine sticks 33.

[0045] Furthermore, the component supply device 10a is provided with a spacer that is disposed below the tip of the magazine stick 33. The spacer is used when the height of the magazine stick 33 is low.

[0046] The first guide portion 13 holds the magazine stick 33 by sandwiching it in the width direction (X direction). The first guide portion 13 is configured so that the widthwise spacing between them can be changed to match the width of the magazine stick 33. Specifically, the first guide portion 13 includes a pair of guide members that face each other in the width direction and whose widthwise spacing can be changed. As shown in FIG. 6, the pair of guide members are formed so that the opposing surfaces of the pair of guide members narrow upward. In other words, the first guide portion 13 has an inclined surface 131 that slopes so that its width widens upward.

[0047] 4 and 5, the first guide portion 13 is fastened with a fastening member 13a, thereby fixing its position in the width direction. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 6, the first guide portion 13 is fixed in its position in the width direction (X direction) by fastening the fastening member 13a to a nut member 13c through an elongated hole 13b provided in the base portion 11a so as to extend in the X direction. The fastening member 13a is an example of a "first fastening member" in the claims.

[0048] 4 and 5, second guide portion 14 is provided on the tip side of magazine stick 33 sandwiched between first guide portion 13. Second guide portion 14 sandwiches component 31 delivered from magazine stick 33 in the width direction (X direction), and guides it to supply position 32 where it is supplied for mounting on board S.

[0049] Second guide section 14 includes first member 141 and second member 142 that guide component 31 so as to sandwich it in the width direction. Second guide section 14 also includes stopper 15 that is provided downstream in the sending direction of component 31 sent to supply position 32 and that restricts movement of component 31 in the sending direction.

[0050] In this embodiment, the second guide portions 14 are configured so that the spacing in the width direction (X direction) can be changed to match the width of the components 31 in the magazine stick 33.

[0051] 9, the first member 141 of the second guide unit 14 is configured to be able to change its position in the width direction relative to the second member 142. In other words, the distance between an opposing surface 141a of the first member 141 and an opposing surface 142a of the second member 142, which face each other so as to sandwich the component 31, is changeable. For example, the first member 141 moves in the width direction without moving the second member 142 in the width direction, thereby changing the distance at which the component 31 is sandwiched between the first member 141 and the second member 142.

[0052] 9, the second member 142 of the second guide section 14 is configured so that its position in the feed direction can be changed to match the length of the component 31 in the feed direction. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, the second member 142 is disposed below the stopper 15 and between two partitions 151. The movement of the second member 142 in the width direction (X direction) is restricted by the two partitions 151. On the other hand, the second member 142 is movable in the feed direction (Y direction).

[0053] 4 and 5, the second member 142 is fastened by fastening member 15b, whereby the position in the feed direction (Y direction) is fixed. Specifically, the second member 142 is pressed by the tip of fastening member 15b fastened to stopper 15, whereby the position in the feed direction (Y direction) is fixed.

[0054] Also, as shown in FIG. 9, the first member 141 of the second guide section 14 is configured so that its position can be changed in the feed direction (Y direction) together with the second member 142, and also so that its position can be changed in the width direction (X direction) relative to the second member 142.

[0055] 4 and 5, the first member 141 is fastened by fastening members 15c, thereby fixing its position in the width direction (X direction). That is, the second guide portion 14 is fastened by fastening members 15c, thereby fixing its position in the width direction. Specifically, the first member 141 is pressed by the tip of the fastening members 15c fastened to the stopper 15, thereby fixing its position in the width direction (X direction). The fastening members 15c are an example of a "second fastening member" in the claims.

[0056] 8, the first member 141 of the second guide section 14 includes an engaging portion 141b. The second member 142 includes an engaged portion 142b that engages with the engaging portion 141b to guide the sliding movement of the first member 141 in the width direction. More specifically, the engaging portion 141b of the first member 141 has an elongated hole. The engaged portion 142b of the second member 142 has a pin that engages with the elongated hole. This allows the first member 141 to slide along the X direction while the engaging portion 141b engages with the engaged portion 142b of the second member 142.

[0057] 8, the first member 141 is provided on the stopper 15 side (Y1 direction side) and includes a bent end portion 141c that is bent downward. The bent end portion 141c of the first member 141 abuts against the end portion of the second member 142 on the stopper 15 side, thereby guiding the sliding movement of the first member 141 in the width direction relative to the second member 142.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 8, the second member 142 includes an inclined portion 142c whose end on the magazine stick 33 side (Y2 direction side) is inclined downward.

[0059] 4 and 7, stopper 15 is provided on the tip side (Y1 direction side) of guide portion 11. Stopper 15 is configured to come into contact with component 31 guided by second guide portion 14 and restrict movement of component 31 in the delivery direction (Y direction). In other words, stopper 15 is configured to stop component 31 delivered from magazine stick 33 at supply position 32.

[0060] The stopper 15 includes a plurality of partition portions 151 and a plurality of component retaining portions 152. The stopper 15 is provided so as to cover the first member 141 and the second member 142 of the second guide portion 14 from above.

[0061] The partitions 151 are provided to separate the plurality of first members 141 and second members 142. The component retaining portions 152 are disposed between adjacent partitions 151. The component retaining portions 152 are configured to come into contact with the components 31 and restrict movement of the components 31 in the sending direction (Y direction).

[0062] 3, the component feeder 16 is configured to feed the component 31 in the magazine stick 33 to the supply position 32. Specifically, the component feeder 16 includes a vibration generator that applies vibration to the magazine stick 33 held by the guide unit 11. The vibration applied to the magazine stick 33 moves the component 31 in the magazine stick 33 in the feed direction (Y direction).

[0063] (Adjustment procedure for the second guide part) The procedure for adjusting the second guide portion 14 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0064] As shown in Fig. 9(A), fastening members 15b and 15c (see Fig. 5) are loosened so that first member 141 and second member 142 of second guide section 14 can move in the feed-out direction (Y direction). As shown in Fig. 9(B), both first member 141 and second member 142 of second guide section 14 are moved in the feed-out direction (Y direction) to adjust the position of second guide section 14 in the Y direction. Then, fastening member 15b (see Fig. 5) is fastened to fix the position of second member 142.

[0065] 9(C), the position of the first member 141 in the X direction is adjusted by moving the first member 141 of the second guide part 14 in the width direction (X direction) relative to the second member 142. Then, the position of the first member 141 is fixed by fastening the fastening members 15c (see FIG. 5).

[0066] (Effects of the embodiment) In this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

[0067] In this embodiment, as described above, the second guide portions 14 are configured so that the widthwise spacing can be changed to match the width of the components 31 in the magazine stick 33. This allows components 31 in magazine sticks 33 of different widths to be accommodated by changing the widthwise spacing of the second guide portions 14, eliminating the need to prepare multiple component supply devices to accommodate components 31 of different widths. As a result, even when components 31 are supplied from magazine sticks 33 of different widths, it is not necessary to prepare multiple component supply devices corresponding to each width. Furthermore, unlike when components 31 are removed directly from the magazine stick 33 by cutting off the upper end of the magazine stick 33, there is no need to cut off the end of the magazine stick 33, which reduces the workload.

[0068] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as described above, the second guide section 14 includes the first member 141 and the second member 142 that guide the component 31 so as to sandwich it in the width direction. The first member 141 is configured so that its position in the width direction relative to the second member 142 can be changed. This makes it possible to easily adjust the spacing of the second guide section 14 by moving the first member 141 in the width direction relative to the second member 142.

[0069] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as described above, second guide section 14 is provided downstream in the feed direction of component 31 fed to supply position 32, includes stopper 15 that restricts movement of component 31 in the feed direction, and second member 142 is configured to be able to change its position in the feed direction to match the length of component 31 in the feed direction. This makes it possible to easily adjust the length of second guide section 14 in the feed direction to correspond to the length of component 31 by moving second member 142 in the feed direction relative to stopper 15.

[0070] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as described above, the first member 141 is provided so that its position can be changed in the feeding direction together with the second member 142, and its position can be changed in the width direction relative to the second member 142. This makes it possible to easily adjust the position of the second guide portion 14 in the feeding direction and the spacing in the width direction by changing the position of the first member 141 in the width direction and the position of the second member 142 in the feeding direction.

[0071] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as described above, the first member 141 includes an engaging portion 141b. The second member 142 includes an engaged portion 142b that engages with the engaging portion 141b and guides the sliding movement of the first member 141 in the width direction. This makes it possible to prevent the first member 141 from tilting obliquely when the first member 141 is slid in the width direction relative to the second member 142. Furthermore, the engagement between the engaging portion 141b and the engaged portion 142b makes it possible to prevent the first member 141 from moving in the Y1 direction and falling off.

[0072] In this embodiment, as described above, engaging portion 141b of first member 141 has an elongated hole. Furthermore, engaged portion 142b of second member 142 has a pin that engages with the elongated hole. This makes it possible to obtain a structure in which first member 141 can be easily and smoothly slid in the width direction, making it possible to easily adjust the position in the width direction.

[0073] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as described above, first member 141 is provided on the stopper 15 side and includes bent end portion 141c that is bent downward, and is configured so that bent end portion 141c guides sliding movement in the width direction relative to second member 142. This makes it possible to prevent first member 141 from tilting obliquely when first member 141 is slid in the width direction relative to second member 142. This also makes it possible to prevent first member 141 from tilting obliquely without providing two engaging portions 141b and two engaged portions 142b, so it is also possible to provide one engaging portion 141b and one engaged portion 142b.

[0074] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as described above, second member 142 includes inclined portion 142c, which is inclined downward at the end on the magazine stick 33 side. This allows component 31 delivered from magazine stick 33 to climb up inclined portion 142c and move to second member 142, thereby preventing component 31 from getting caught on the end of second member 142 and hindering its movement.

[0075] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as described above, the first guide portion 13 is configured so that the widthwise spacing can be changed to match the width of the magazine stick 33. This allows magazine sticks 33 of different widths to be held by the first guide portion 13, the spacing of which can be changed.

[0076] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as described above, the first guide section 13 includes a pair of guide members that face each other in the width direction and whose widthwise spacing is variable, and the pair of guide members are formed so that the opposing surfaces narrow upward. This allows the upper corners of the magazine stick 33 to abut against the pair of guide members when the magazine stick 33 is sandwiched between the pair of guide members whose spacing is variable. As a result, the upwardly narrowing inclined surfaces 131 of the pair of guide members can prevent the magazine stick 33 from moving in the width direction and can also prevent the magazine stick 33 from moving upward.

[0077] In this embodiment, as described above, the first guide portion 13 is fastened by the fastening member 13a, thereby fixing its position in the width direction. The second guide portion 14 is pressed by the tip of the fastening member 15c fastened to the stopper 15, thereby fixing its position in the width direction. This makes it possible to easily fix the position of the first guide portion 13 by fastening the fastening member 13a, and to easily fix the position of the second guide portion 14 in the width direction by fastening the fastening member 15c to the stopper 15.

[0078] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as described above, a base portion 11a is provided to which a plurality of first guide portions 13 and a plurality of second guide portions 14 can be fixed. This allows magazine sticks 33 having a plurality of different widths to be held by a plurality of first guide portions 13, and allows components 31 having a plurality of different widths to be guided by a plurality of second guide portions 14 provided on one component supply device 10a.
