[0013] To solve the above-mentioned problems, a component mounting system according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a component supply device that transports a tape member having a carrier tape for storing components and a top tape attached to the carrier tape so as to cover the components stored in the carrier tape, and supplies the components by peeling the top tape from the carrier tape, and a component mounting device that mounts the components supplied from the component supply device onto a substrate, wherein the component supply device includes a carrier tape transport motor that is driven to transport the carrier tape, and a first state according to the tension of the top tape peeled off from the carrier tape The component supply device includes a sensor that is in a second state, a top tape transport motor that does not drive when the sensor is in the first state and drives to transport the top tape when the sensor is in the second state, a determination unit that determines whether there is a sign of abnormality in the component supply device based on first information indicating whether the carrier tape transport motor is driven, second information indicating whether the sensor is in the first state or the second state and third information indicating whether the top tape transport motor is driven, and an output unit that outputs a warning signal indicating the warning if the determination unit determines that there is a warning.

[0014] According to this, it is possible to determine whether or not there are signs of an abnormality in the component supply device based on at least one of the following: first information indicating whether or not the carrier tape transport motor is running, second information indicating whether or not the sensor is in the first or second state, and third information indicating whether or not the top tape transport motor is running.

[0015] Furthermore, in a component mounting system according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the determination unit may determine whether or not the warning is present based on the first information, the second information, and the third information in at least one of the following cases: when the sensor changes from the second state to the first state, and when the top tape transport motor changes from a driven state to a non-driven state.

[0016] According to this, when the sensor changes from the second state to the first state, and / or when the top tape conveyance motor changes from the driven state to the non-driven state, it is possible to determine whether there is a sign of abnormality in at least one of these cases.

[0017] Also, in the component mounting system according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the determination unit includes a first time from when the carrier tape conveyance motor starts driving until the sensor switches from the first state to the second state, and a second time from when the carrier tape conveyance motor starts driving until the top tape conveyance motor starts driving. When at least one of them is longer than a first predetermined time, it may be determined that there is the sign.

[0018] According to this, when at least one of the first time from when the carrier tape conveyance motor starts driving until the sensor switches from the first state to the second state, and the second time from when the carrier tape conveyance motor starts driving until the top tape conveyance motor starts driving is longer than the first predetermined time, it can be determined that there is a sign of abnormality. Therefore, it is possible to more accurately determine a sign of abnormality in the component supply device. [[ID=⑨]]

[0019] Also, in the component mounting system according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the component supply device has a contact portion with which the top tape peeled off from the carrier tape slidably contacts. The component mounting device may have a display unit that displays a maintenance instruction for the contact portion when it is determined that there is the sign because at least one of the first time and the second time is longer than the first predetermined time.

[0020] According to this, when it is determined that there is a sign of abnormality because at least one of the first time and the second time is longer than the first predetermined time, a maintenance instruction for the contact portion can be displayed. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the component supply device from becoming abnormal.

[0021] Furthermore, in a component mounting system according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the determination unit may determine that there is a warning sign if at least one of the third time, from when the sensor switches from the first state to the second state until it switches from the second state to the first state, and the fourth time, from when the top tape transport motor starts to drive until it stops driving, is longer than the second predetermined time.

[0022] According to this, if at least one of the third time period, from when the sensor switches from the first state to the second state until it switches back from the second state to the first state, and the fourth time period, from when the top tape transport motor starts to run until it stops running, is longer than the second predetermined time, it can be determined that there is a sign of an abnormality. Therefore, signs of abnormality in the component supply device can be determined with greater accuracy.

[0023] Furthermore, in a component mounting system according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the component mounting device may have a display unit that displays a maintenance instruction for the top tape transport motor when it is determined that the above-mentioned warning is present because at least one of the third time and the fourth time is longer than the second predetermined time.

[0024] According to this, if it is determined that there is a sign of an abnormality because at least one of the third and fourth hours is longer than the second predetermined time, a maintenance instruction for the top tape transport motor can be displayed, thereby preventing the parts supply device from malfunctioning.

[0025] Furthermore, in a component mounting system according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the determination unit may determine that there is a warning sign if the sensor switches from the first state to the second state multiple times within a third predetermined time after the carrier tape transport motor starts to drive, and if the top tape transport motor starts to drive multiple times within the third predetermined time.

[0026] According to this, if the sensor switches from the first state to the second state multiple times within a third predetermined time after the carrier tape transport motor starts to drive, and if the top tape transport motor starts to drive multiple times within the third predetermined time, it can be determined that there is a sign of an abnormality in at least one of these cases, thus enabling more accurate detection of signs of abnormality in the component supply device.

[0027] Furthermore, in a component mounting system according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the component supply device has a transport roller that contacts the top tape peeled off the carrier tape and rotates to transport the top tape when the top tape transport motor is driven, and the component mounting device may have a display unit that displays a maintenance instruction for the transport roller when it is determined that the warning sign exists based on at least one of the following: the sensor has switched from a first state to a second state multiple times within the third predetermined time, and the top tape transport motor has started to drive multiple times within the third predetermined time.

[0028] According to this, if it is determined that there is a sign of an abnormality based on at least one of the following: the sensor switching from the first state to the second state multiple times within the third predetermined time, and the top tape transport motor starting to drive multiple times within the third predetermined time, a maintenance instruction for the transport roller can be displayed, thereby preventing the parts supply device from malfunctioning.

[0029] Furthermore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a parts supply device according to one aspect of the present disclosure is a parts supply device that transports a tape member having a carrier tape for storing parts and a top tape attached to the carrier tape so as to cover the parts stored in the carrier tape, and supplies the parts by peeling the top tape off the carrier tape, and comprises a carrier tape transport motor driven to transport the carrier tape, a sensor that enters a first state or a second state depending on the tension of the top tape peeled off the carrier tape, a top tape transport motor that does not drive when the sensor is in the first state and drives to transport the top tape when the sensor is in the second state, a determination unit that determines whether or not there is an indication of an abnormality in the parts supply device based on first information indicating whether or not the carrier tape transport motor is being driven, second information indicating whether or not the sensor is in the first state or the second state and at least one of third information indicating whether or not the top tape transport motor is being driven, and an output unit that outputs an indication signal indicating the indication when the determination unit determines that there is an indication.

[0030] According to this, it produces the same effects as the component mounting system described above.

[0031] Furthermore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a determination method according to one aspect of the present disclosure is a determination method in a parts supply device that transports a tape member having a carrier tape for storing parts and a top tape attached to the carrier tape so as to cover the parts stored in the carrier tape, and peels the top tape from the carrier tape to supply the parts, wherein the parts supply device comprises a carrier tape transport motor driven to transport the carrier tape, a sensor that enters a first state or a second state depending on the tension of the top tape peeled off from the carrier tape, and a top tape transport motor that does not drive when the sensor is in the first state and drives to transport the top tape when the sensor is in the second state, and includes a determination step of determining whether there is an indication of an abnormality in the parts supply device based on first information indicating whether the carrier tape transport motor is being driven, second information indicating whether the sensor is in the first state or the second state and at least one of third information indicating whether the top tape transport motor is being driven, and an output step of outputting an indication signal indicating the indication if the determination step determines that there is an indication.

[0032] According to this, it produces the same effects as the component mounting system described above.

[0033] The embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0034] The embodiments described below are all general or specific examples. The numerical values, shapes, materials, components, arrangement and connection configurations of components, steps, and the order of steps shown in the following embodiments are examples only and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Furthermore, any components in the following embodiments that are not described in an independent claim will be described as optional components.

[0035] Furthermore, each figure is a schematic diagram and not necessarily a strictly accurate representation. Also, the same component is denoted by the same reference numeral in each figure.

[0036] (Embodiment) Figure 1 is a plan view showing a component mounting system 10 according to an embodiment. Figure 2 is a front view showing the component mounting system 10 of Figure 1. The configuration of the component mounting system 10 will be described with reference to Figures 1 and 2.

[0037] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the component mounting system 10 is a system for mounting components 1 (see Figures 5 and 6) onto a substrate 2, and comprises a plurality of component supply devices 12 and a component mounting device 14. For example, component 1 is an electronic component. Note that the component mounting system 10 may have only one component supply device 12 instead of multiple.

[0038] Each of the multiple parts supply devices 12 is a device that transports a tape member 3 (see Figures 5 and 6) having a carrier tape 4 for storing parts 1 and a top tape 5 attached to the carrier tape 4 so as to cover the parts 1 stored in the carrier tape 4, and supplies the parts 1 by peeling the top tape 5 from the carrier tape 4. Details of the tape member 3 will be described later. Each of the multiple parts supply devices 12 has a trolley 16, multiple reels 18, and multiple tape feeders 20. However, each of the multiple parts supply devices 12 may have one reel 18 instead of multiple, and one tape feeder 20 instead of multiple.

[0039] The trolley 16 is movable and carries multiple reels 18 and multiple tape feeders 20. Each of the multiple reels 18 has a tape member 3 wound around it. The multiple tape feeders 20 are provided to correspond to the multiple reels 18. Each of the multiple tape feeders 20 transports the tape member 3 wound around the corresponding reel 18, peels the top tape 5 from the tape member 3 from the carrier tape 4, and supplies the component 1. Details of the tape feeders 20 will be described later.

[0040] The component mounting device 14 is a device that mounts components 1 supplied from each of the multiple component supply devices 12 onto a substrate 2. The component mounting device 14 comprises a base 22, a transport unit 24, a pair of Y-axis tables 26, an X-axis table 28, a head 30, a nozzle 32, a substrate recognition camera 34, multiple component recognition cameras 36, a mounting control unit 38, and a display unit 39.

[0041] The transport unit 24 is provided on the base 22 and transports the substrate 2. In this embodiment, the transport unit 24 transports the substrate 2 in the X-axis direction. Specifically, the transport unit 24 positions the substrate 2 by clamping it in the Y-axis direction and then moves the positioned substrate 2 in the X-axis direction. For example, the transport unit 24 is configured to include a conveyor.

[0042] The X-axis table 28 is attached to a pair of Y-axis tables 26 and moves in the Y-axis direction by the pair of Y-axis tables 26.

[0043] The head 30 is mounted on the X-axis table 28 and moves in the X-axis direction by the X-axis table 28, and moves in the Y-axis direction together with the X-axis table 28 by a pair of Y-axis tables 26.

[0044] The nozzle 32 moves together with the head 30 in the X-axis and Y-axis directions. The nozzle 32 picks up the components 1 supplied by each of the multiple component supply devices 12 and mounts the components 1 onto the substrate 2. For example, the nozzle 32 mounts the components 1 onto the substrate 2 by pressing the picked-up components 1 against the substrate 2 in the Z-axis direction.

[0045] The substrate recognition camera 34 moves along with the head 30 in the X-axis and Y-axis directions. The substrate recognition camera 34 is positioned to image the area below the nozzle 32 and images the substrate 2 from above in order to recognize the mounting position of the component 1 on the substrate 2.

[0046] Each of the multiple part recognition cameras 36 captures an image of the part 1 held by the nozzle 32. In this embodiment, each of the multiple part recognition cameras 36 is provided between the transport unit 24 and the part supply device 12, and captures an image of the part 1 held by the nozzle 32 from below as the nozzle 32 passes between the transport unit 24 and the part supply device 12.

[0047] The mounting control unit 38 controls the component mounting device 14 and controls the mounting of component 1 onto the substrate 2.

[0048] The display unit 39 displays maintenance instructions for each of the multiple parts supply devices 12. For example, the display unit 39 is a display or the like.

[0049] The configuration of the component mounting system 10 has been described above.

[0050] Figure 3 is a front view showing the tape feeder 20 of the component mounting system 10 in Figure 1 when the sensor 54 of the component mounting system 10 in Figure 1 is in the first state. Figure 4 is a front view showing the tape feeder 20 of the component mounting system 10 in Figure 1 when the sensor 54 of the component mounting system 10 in Figure 1 is in the second state. Figure 5 is a top view showing the tape feeder 20 of the component mounting system 10 in Figure 1. Figure 6 is a perspective view showing an example of the tape member 3. The tape feeder 20 will be described with reference to Figures 3 to 6.

[0051] As shown in Figures 3 to 5, the tape feeder 20 includes a housing 40, a carrier tape transport motor 42, a carrier tape transport roller 44, a parts removal section 46, a rotating section 48, a rotating shaft 50, a spring 52, a sensor 54, a top tape transport motor 56, a plurality of top tape transport rollers 58, 60, 62, a top tape storage section 64, and a feeder control section 66.

[0052] The carrier tape transport motor 42 is driven to transport the carrier tape 4. In other words, the carrier tape 4 is transported by the drive of the carrier tape transport motor 42.

[0053] The carrier tape transport roller 44 contacts the carrier tape 4 and rotates when the carrier tape transport motor 42 is driven, thereby transporting the carrier tape 4. In this embodiment, the carrier tape transport roller 44 is a sprocket having external teeth (not shown).

[0054] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the tape member 3 has a carrier tape 4 for storing parts 1 and a top tape 5 attached to the carrier tape 4 so as to cover the parts 1 stored in the carrier tape 4. The carrier tape 4 is elongated and stores multiple parts 1 lined up along its longitudinal direction. The carrier tape 4 has multiple holes 6 arranged along its longitudinal direction. The top tape 5 is elongated and attached to the carrier tape 4 so as to cover the multiple parts 1 stored in the carrier tape 4.

[0055] The carrier tape transport roller 44 is provided such that its external teeth fit into the hole 6. As the carrier tape transport roller 44 rotates, its external teeth push the carrier tape 4 in the transport direction, causing the carrier tape 4 to be transported.

[0056] Returning from Figure 3 to Figure 5, the parts removal section 46 is the part for removing part 1 and has a parts removal opening 68 and a contact section 70.

[0057] The component outlet 68 opens in the Z-axis direction. In this embodiment, the tape feeder 20 supplies components 1 by exposing the components 1 stored on the carrier tape 4 through the component outlet 68. The nozzle 32 picks up the components 1 exposed from the component outlet 68 and mounts the picked-up components 1 onto the substrate 2.

[0058] The contact portion 70 is slidably contacted by the top tape 5 peeled off from the carrier tape 4. For example, the top tape 5 peeled off from the carrier tape 4 is transported while in contact with and sliding against the contact portion 70. In this embodiment, the top tape 5 peeled off from the carrier tape 4 is bent via the contact portion 70.

[0059] The rotating part 48 is supported so as to be rotatable around the pivot shaft 50, and rotates around the pivot shaft 50 in accordance with the tension of the top tape 5 peeled off from the carrier tape 4.

[0060] The spring 52 pulls the rotating part 48 so that it rotates the rotating part 48 to one side around the pivot axis 50.

[0061] The sensor 54 enters either a first or second state depending on the tension of the top tape 5 peeled from the carrier tape 4. For example, the first state is an off state in which no signal is output, and the second state is an on state in which a signal is output. Alternatively, for example, the first state could be the on state and the second state could be the off state. For example, as shown in Figure 3, if the top tape 5 peeled from the carrier tape 4 is subjected to tension exceeding a predetermined value and the rotation amount of the rotating part 48 is small, the sensor 54 does not detect the rotating part 48 and enters the first state. Alternatively, as shown in Figure 4, if the top tape 5 peeled from the carrier tape 4 is not subjected to tension exceeding a predetermined value and the rotation amount of the rotating part 48 is large, the sensor 54 detects the rotating part 48 and enters the second state. For example, instead of the rotating part 48, a member that moves vertically in accordance with the tension of the top tape 5 peeled from the carrier tape 4 may be used.

[0062] The top tape transport motor 56 does not drive when the sensor 54 is in the first state, but drives to transport the top tape 5 when the sensor 54 is in the second state. In other words, when the sensor 54 is in the first state, the top tape 5 is not transported because the top tape transport motor 56 does not drive, and when the sensor 54 is in the second state, the top tape 5 is transported because the top tape transport motor 56 is driven.

[0063] The top tape transport roller 58 rotates when driven by the top tape transport motor 56. In this embodiment, the top tape transport roller 58 is a sprocket having external teeth (not shown).

[0064] The top tape transport roller 60 is an example of a transport roller that contacts the top tape 5 peeled off from the carrier tape 4 and rotates when driven by the top tape transport motor 56 to transport the top tape 5. In this embodiment, the top tape transport roller 60 is a sprocket having external teeth (not shown) and meshes with the top tape transport roller 58.

[0065] The top tape transport roller 62 is an example of a transport roller that contacts the top tape 5 peeled off from the carrier tape 4 and rotates when driven by the top tape transport motor 56 to transport the top tape 5. In this embodiment, the top tape transport roller 62 is a sprocket having external teeth (not shown) and meshes with the top tape transport roller 60.

[0066] The top tape 5, peeled off from the carrier tape 4, is sandwiched between the top tape transport roller 60 and the top tape transport roller 62, and is transported by the rotation of the top tape transport roller 60 and the top tape transport roller 62.

[0067] The top tape storage section 64 stores the top tape 5 that has been transported by the top tape transport motor 56.

[0068] The feeder control unit 66 controls the carrier tape transport motor 42 and the top tape transport motor 56, etc.

[0069] This concludes the explanation of the tape feeder 20.

[0070] Figure 7 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the component mounting system 10 in Figure 1. The functional configuration of the component mounting system 10 will be explained with reference to Figure 7.

[0071] As shown in Figure 7, in this embodiment, the mounting control unit 38 controls the mounting of component 1 based on commands from the higher-level system 72.

[0072] The feeder control unit 66 includes a determination unit 74 and an output unit 76.

[0073] The determination unit 74 determines whether there are signs of an abnormality in the component supply device 12 based on first information indicating whether the carrier tape transport motor 42 is being driven, second information indicating whether the sensor 54 is in a first state or a second state, and at least one of third information indicating whether the top tape transport motor 56 is being driven.

[0074] For example, the abnormal state is a state in which the top tape 5 peeled off from the carrier tape 4 cannot be transported, and the state showing signs of the abnormality is a state in which the top tape 5 peeled off from the carrier tape 4 can be transported, but there is a tendency for the abnormal state to occur. For example, the state in which the top tape 5 peeled off from the carrier tape 4 cannot be transported is a state in which the top tape 5 peeled off from the carrier tape 4 is cut, or a state in which the top tape transport motor 56 cannot be driven.

[0075] For example, the first information includes information indicating the waveform of a signal that is output when the carrier tape transport motor 42 is driven and not output when the carrier tape transport motor 42 is not driven. Also, for example, the second information includes information indicating the waveform of a signal that is output when the sensor 54 is in a second state and not output when the sensor 54 is in a first state. Also, for example, the third information includes information indicating the waveform of a signal that is output when the top tape transport motor 56 is driven and not output when the top tape transport motor 56 is not driven.

[0076] For example, the determination unit 74 determines whether or not there is an indication of an abnormality in the parts supply device 12 based on at least one of the timing at which the sensor 54 switches from the first state to the second state, the timing at which the sensor 54 switches from the second state to the first state, and the number of times the sensor 54 switches from the first state to the second state.

[0077] Furthermore, for example, the determination unit 74 determines whether or not there is an indication of an abnormality in the parts supply device 12 based on at least one of the timing at which the top tape transport motor 56 starts to drive, the timing at which the top tape transport motor 56 stops driving, and the number of times the top tape transport motor 56 starts to drive.

[0078] Furthermore, for example, the determination unit 74 determines whether there is a sign of abnormality in the parts supply device 12 based on the first information and at least one of the second and third pieces of information in at least one of the following cases: when the sensor 54 changes from a second state to a first state, and when the top tape transport motor 56 changes from a driven state to a non-driven state. For example, when the sensor 54 changes from a second state to a first state, the determination unit 74 determines whether there is a sign of abnormality in the parts supply device 12 based on the first information and the second information. Furthermore, for example, when the top tape transport motor 56 changes from a driven state to a non-driven state, the determination unit 74 determines whether there is a sign of abnormality in the parts supply device 12 based on the first information and the third information.

[0079] Furthermore, for example, the determination unit 74 determines that there is a sign of an abnormality in the parts supply device 12 if at least one of the first time, from when the carrier tape transport motor 42 starts to drive until the sensor 54 switches from the first state to the second state, and the second time, from when the carrier tape transport motor 42 starts to drive until the top tape transport motor 56 starts to drive, is longer than the first predetermined time. For example, the first predetermined time is set in advance.

[0080] Furthermore, for example, the determination unit 74 determines that there is a sign of an abnormality in the parts supply device 12 if at least one of the third time, from when the sensor 54 switches from the first state to the second state until it switches from the second state back to the first state, and the fourth time, from when the top tape transport motor starts to run until it stops running, is longer than the second predetermined time. For example, the second predetermined time is set in advance.

[0081] Furthermore, for example, the determination unit 74 determines that there is a sign of an abnormality in the component supply device 12 if, at least one of the following occurs: the sensor 54 switches from the first state to the second state multiple times within a third predetermined time after the carrier tape transport motor 42 starts driving, or the top tape transport motor 56 starts driving multiple times within the third predetermined time. For example, the third predetermined time is set in advance.

[0082] If the determination unit 74 determines that there is an indication of an abnormality in the component supply device 12, the output unit 76 outputs a warning signal indicating that indication. For example, the output unit 76 outputs a warning signal to the component mounting device 14.

[0083] For example, the display unit 39 displays a maintenance instruction for the contact portion 70 if it determines that there is a sign of an abnormality in the parts supply device 12 because at least one of the first time and the second time is longer than the first predetermined time. This is because it is possible that the transport of the top tape 5 is taking longer than usual due to increased friction caused by the accumulation of dirt or other contaminants on the contact portion 70.

[0084] Furthermore, for example, the display unit 39 displays a maintenance instruction for the top tape transport motor 56 if it determines that there is a sign of abnormality in the parts supply device 12 because at least one of the third and fourth hours is longer than the second predetermined time. This is because the transport of the top tape 5 may be taking longer than usual due to deterioration of the top tape transport motor 56.

[0085] Furthermore, for example, if the display unit 39 determines that there is a sign of an abnormality in the parts supply device 12 based on at least one of the following: the sensor 54 has switched from the first state to the second state multiple times within the third predetermined time, and the top tape transport motor 56 has started to drive multiple times within the third predetermined time, it displays a maintenance instruction for the top tape transport roller 60 and the top tape transport roller 62. This is because the top tape 5 may be on the verge of breaking due to deterioration of the top tape transport roller 60 or the top tape transport roller 62.

[0086] The functional configuration of the component mounting system 10 has been described above.

[0087] Figure 8 is a flowchart showing a first operational example of the component mounting system 10 shown in Figure 1. The first operational example of the component mounting system 10 will be explained with reference to Figure 8.

[0088] As shown in Figure 8, first, the feeder control unit 66 determines whether or not it has received a transport command (step S1). For example, the transport command is transmitted from the higher-level system 72.

[0089] If the feeder control unit 66 has not received a transport command (No in step S1), it determines again whether or not a transport command has been received (step S1).

[0090] When the feeder control unit 66 receives a transport command (Yes in step S1), it transports the carrier tape 4 by one pitch (step S2). For example, the feeder control unit 66 transports the carrier tape 4 by one pitch by driving the carrier tape transport motor 42.

[0091] The feeder control unit 66 updates the cumulative transport time when it has transported one pitch of the carrier tape 4 (step S3). For example, the feeder control unit 66 updates the cumulative transport time by adding the transport time taken for the current transport to the cumulative transport time taken for previous transports.

[0092] When the feeder control unit 66 updates the cumulative transport time, it determines whether the cumulative transport time is greater than a predetermined threshold (predetermined time) (step S4). For example, the predetermined threshold is set in advance.

[0093] If the cumulative transport time is not greater than a predetermined threshold (No in step S4), the feeder control unit 66 determines again whether or not a transport command has been received (step S1).

[0094] The feeder control unit 66 notifies of an abnormality (step S5) if the cumulative transport time is greater than a predetermined threshold (Yes in step S4). For example, the abnormality is related to the transport of the carrier tape 4. For example, the output unit 76 notifies of the abnormality by outputting an abnormality signal indicating the abnormality.

[0095] The first operational example of the component mounting system 10 has been described above.

[0096] Figure 9 is a flowchart showing a second operational example of the component mounting system 10 in Figure 1. Figure 10 is a graph illustrating the second operational example in Figure 9. The second operational example of the component mounting system 10 will be explained with reference to Figures 9 and 10.

[0097] As shown in Figure 9, first, the feeder control unit 66 determines whether the sensor 54 is in the second state or not (step S11). For example, the sensor 54 transmits a signal to the feeder control unit 66 indicating whether it is in the first state or the second state, and the feeder control unit 66 determines whether the sensor 54 is in the second state or not based on this signal.

[0098] If the sensor 54 is not in the second state (No in step S11), the feeder control unit 66 determines again whether the sensor 54 is in the second state (step S11). In other words, if the sensor 54 is in the first state, the feeder control unit 66 determines again whether the sensor 54 is in the second state.

[0099] If the sensor 54 is in the second state (Yes in step S11), the feeder control unit 66 transports the top tape 5 for a predetermined time (step S12). For example, the feeder control unit 66 transports the top tape 5 for a predetermined time by driving the top tape transport motor 56 for a predetermined time.

[0100] When the feeder control unit 66 has transported the top tape 5 for a predetermined time, it determines whether the sensor 54 is in the second state or not (step S13).

[0101] If the sensor 54 is in the second state (Yes in step S13), the feeder control unit 66 notifies of an abnormality (step S14). For example, the feeder control unit 66 notifies that it is unable to transport the top tape 5 that has been peeled off from the carrier tape 4. For example, the output unit 76 notifies of an abnormality by outputting an abnormality signal indicating an abnormality.

[0102] If the sensor 54 is not in the second state (No in step S13), the feeder control unit 66 resets the transport cumulative time (step S15). For example, the feeder control unit 66 sets the transport cumulative time to 0.

[0103] When the feeder control unit 66 resets the cumulative transport time, it acquires first information, second information, and third information (step S16). As shown in Figure 10, for example, the first information includes information showing the waveform of a signal that is ON when the carrier tape transport motor 42 is driven and OFF when the carrier tape transport motor 42 is not driven. Also, for example, the second information includes information showing the waveform of a signal that is ON when the sensor 54 is in the second state and OFF when the sensor 54 is in the first state. Also, for example, the third information includes information showing the waveform of a signal that is ON when the top tape transport motor 56 is driven and OFF when the top tape transport motor 56 is not driven.

[0104] Returning to Figure 9, the feeder control unit 66, upon acquiring the first information, the second information, and the third information, determines whether at least one of the first time and the second time is longer than the first predetermined time (step S17). For example, the feeder control unit 66 may compare only one of the first time and the second time with the first predetermined time.

[0105] If at least one of the first time and the second time is longer than the first predetermined time (Yes in step S17), the feeder control unit 66 notifies of an abnormality (step S18). For example, the feeder control unit 66 notifies that it is possible to transport the top tape 5 peeled off from the carrier tape 4, but that it is likely to become impossible to transport the top tape 5 peeled off from the carrier tape 4.

[0106] As shown in Figure 10(a), for example, if the sensor 54 switches from the first state to the second state once at a normal timing within a predetermined time, and switches from the second state to the first state once at a normal timing, the feeder control unit 66 determines that the transport of the top tape 5 peeled off from the carrier tape 4 has been performed normally.

[0107] Furthermore, for example, if the top tape transport motor 56 starts driving at a normal timing within a predetermined time and finishes driving at a normal timing, the feeder control unit 66 determines that the transport of the top tape 5 peeled off from the carrier tape 4 has been performed normally.

[0108] As shown in Figure 10(b), for example, if the first time (see T2 in Figure 10(b)) is longer than the first predetermined time (see T1 in Figure 10(b)), the feeder control unit 66 determines that there is an indication of an abnormality and notifies the system of the indication.

[0109] Furthermore, for example, if the second time (see T3 in Figure 10(b)) is longer than the first predetermined time (see T1 in Figure 10(b)), the feeder control unit 66 determines that there is a sign of an abnormality and notifies the system of the sign.

[0110] Returning to Figure 9, the feeder control unit 66 determines whether at least one of the third and fourth times is longer than the second predetermined time (step S19) if both the first and second times are not longer than the first predetermined time (No in step S17). For example, the feeder control unit 66 may compare only one of the third and fourth times with the second predetermined time.

[0111] As shown in Figure 10(c), for example, if the third time (see T5 in Figure 10(c)) is longer than the second predetermined time (see T4 in Figure 10(c)), the feeder control unit 66 determines that there is an indication of an abnormality and notifies the system of the indication.

[0112] Furthermore, for example, if the fourth time (see T6 in Figure 10(c)) is longer than the second predetermined time (see T4 in Figure 10(c)), the feeder control unit 66 determines that there is a sign of an abnormality and notifies the system of the sign.

[0113] Returning to Figure 9, the feeder control unit 66 notifies of an abnormality if at least one of the third time and the fourth time is longer than the second predetermined time (Yes in step S19) (step S18).

[0114] If both the third and fourth time periods are not longer than the second predetermined time period (No in step S19), the feeder control unit 66 determines whether the sensor 54 has switched from the first state to the second state multiple times within the third predetermined time period (step S20).

[0115] If the sensor 54 switches from the first state to the second state multiple times within the third predetermined time (Yes in step S20), the feeder control unit 66 notifies of an abnormality (step S18).

[0116] As shown in Figure 10(d), for example, if the sensor 54 switches from the first state to the second state twice within a third predetermined time (see T7 in Figure 10(d)), the feeder control unit 66 determines that there is a sign of an abnormality and notifies the system of the sign.

[0117] Returning to Figure 9, the feeder control unit 66 determines whether the top tape transport motor 56 has started to drive multiple times within the third predetermined time (step S21) if the sensor 54 has not switched from the first state to the second state multiple times within the third predetermined time (No in step S20).

[0118] If the top tape transport motor 56 starts to drive multiple times within the third predetermined time (Yes in step S21), the feeder control unit 66 notifies of an abnormality (step S18).

[0119] As shown in Figure 10(d), for example, if the top tape transport motor 56 starts driving twice within a third predetermined time (see T7 in Figure 10(d)), the feeder control unit 66 determines that there is a sign of an abnormality and notifies the system of the sign.

[0120] Returning to Figure 9, if the top tape transport motor 56 does not start driving multiple times within the third predetermined time (No in step S21), the feeder control unit 66 determines again whether the sensor 54 is in the second state (step S11).

[0121] For example, the feeder control unit 66 may perform step S21 before step S20, or it may perform only one of step S20 or step S21.

[0122] The second operational example of the component mounting system 10 has been described above.

[0123] For example, the feeder control unit 66 may not acquire the third information and may not determine whether there are signs of an abnormality based on the first and third information, but rather determine whether there are signs of an abnormality based on the first and second information. Alternatively, for example, the feeder control unit 66 may not acquire the second information and may not determine whether there are signs of an abnormality based on the first and second information, but rather determine whether there are signs of an abnormality based on the first and third information.

[0124] The component mounting system 10 according to the embodiment has been described above.

[0125] The component mounting system 10 according to this embodiment includes a component supply device 12 that transports a tape member 3 having a carrier tape 4 for storing components 1 and a top tape 5 attached to the carrier tape 4 so as to cover the components 1 stored in the carrier tape 4, and supplies the components 1 by peeling the top tape 5 from the carrier tape 4, and a component mounting device 14 that mounts the components 1 supplied from the component supply device 12 onto a substrate 2. The component supply device 12 includes a carrier tape transport motor 42 that drives to transport the carrier tape 4, and a first state or a second state depending on the tension of the top tape 5 peeled off from the carrier tape 4. The component supply device 12 includes a sensor 54, a top tape transport motor 56 which does not drive when the sensor 54 is in a first state and drives to transport the top tape 5 when the sensor 54 is in a second state, a determination unit 74 which determines whether there is a sign of an abnormality in the component supply device 12 based on first information indicating whether the carrier tape transport motor 42 is driven, second information indicating whether the sensor 54 is in a first or second state and third information indicating whether the top tape transport motor 56 is driven, and an output unit 76 which outputs a warning signal indicating an abnormality if the determination unit 74 determines that there is a sign of an abnormality.

[0126] According to this, it is possible to determine whether or not there are signs of an abnormality in the component supply device 12 based on at least one of the following: first information indicating whether or not the carrier tape transport motor 42 is being driven, second information indicating whether or not the sensor 54 is in the first state or the second state, and third information indicating whether or not the top tape transport motor 56 is being driven.

[0127] Furthermore, in the component mounting system 10 according to the embodiment, the determination unit 74 determines whether or not there is an indication of an abnormality based on the first information and at least one of the second information and the third information in at least one of the following cases: when the sensor 54 changes from a second state to a first state, and when the top tape transport motor 56 changes from a driven state to a non-driven state.

[0128] According to this, it is possible to determine whether or not there is a sign of an abnormality in at least one of the following cases: when the sensor 54 changes from the second state to the first state, and when the top tape transport motor 56 changes from a driven state to a non-driven state.

[0129] Furthermore, in the component mounting system 10 according to the embodiment, the determination unit 74 determines that there is a sign of an abnormality if at least one of the first time, from when the carrier tape transport motor 42 starts to drive until the sensor 54 switches from the first state to the second state, and the second time, from when the carrier tape transport motor 42 starts to drive until the top tape transport motor 56 starts to drive, is longer than the first predetermined time.

[0130] According to this, if at least one of the first time, from when the carrier tape transport motor 42 starts to drive until the sensor 54 switches from the first state to the second state, and the second time, from when the carrier tape transport motor 42 starts to drive until the top tape transport motor 56 starts to drive, is longer than the first predetermined time, it can be determined that there is a sign of an abnormality. Therefore, signs of an abnormality in the component supply device 12 can be determined with greater accuracy.

[0131] Furthermore, in the component mounting system 10 according to the embodiment, the component supply device 12 has a contact portion 70 into which the top tape 5 peeled off from the carrier tape 4 slidably makes contact, and the component mounting device 14 has a display unit 39 that displays a maintenance instruction for the contact portion 70 when it is determined that there is a sign of an abnormality because at least one of the first time and the second time is longer than a first predetermined time.

[0132] According to this, if it is determined that there is a sign of an abnormality because at least one of the first time and the second time is longer than the first predetermined time, a maintenance instruction for the contact part 70 can be displayed, thereby preventing the parts supply device 12 from malfunctioning.

[0133] Furthermore, in the component mounting system 10 according to the embodiment, the determination unit 74 determines that there is a sign of an abnormality if at least one of the third time, from when the sensor 54 switches from the first state to the second state until it switches from the second state to the first state, and the fourth time, from when the top tape transport motor 56 starts driving until it stops driving, is longer than the second predetermined time.

[0134] According to this, if at least one of the third time period, from when the sensor 54 switches from the first state to the second state until it switches from the second state back to the first state, and the fourth time period, from when the top tape transport motor 56 starts driving until it stops driving, is longer than the second predetermined time, it can be determined that there is a sign of an abnormality, thus enabling more accurate detection of abnormalities in the parts supply device 12.

[0135] Furthermore, in the component mounting system 10 according to the embodiment, the component mounting device 14 has a display unit 39 that displays a maintenance instruction for the top tape transport motor 56 when it is determined that there is a sign of an abnormality because at least one of the third time and the fourth time is longer than the second predetermined time.

[0136] According to this, if it is determined that there is a sign of an abnormality because at least one of the third and fourth hours is longer than the second predetermined time, a maintenance instruction for the top tape transport motor 56 can be displayed, thereby preventing the parts supply device 12 from malfunctioning.

[0137] Furthermore, in the component mounting system 10 according to the embodiment, the determination unit 74 determines that there is an indication of an abnormality if the sensor 54 switches from the first state to the second state multiple times within a third predetermined time after the carrier tape transport motor 42 starts to drive, and if the top tape transport motor 56 starts to drive multiple times within the third predetermined time.

[0138] According to this, if the sensor switches from the first state to the second state multiple times within a third predetermined time after the carrier tape transport motor 42 starts to drive, and if the top tape transport motor 56 starts to drive multiple times within the third predetermined time, it can be determined that there is a sign of an abnormality in at least one of these cases, so that signs of an abnormality in the component supply device 12 can be determined with greater accuracy.

[0139] Furthermore, in the component mounting system 10 according to the embodiment, the component supply device 12 has a top tape transport roller 60 (top tape transport roller 62) that contacts the top tape 5 peeled off from the carrier tape 4 and rotates to transport the top tape 5 when the top tape transport motor 56 is driven, and the component mounting device 14 has a display unit 39 that displays a maintenance instruction for the top tape transport roller 60 (top tape transport roller 62) when it is determined that there is an indication of an abnormality based on at least one of the following: the sensor 54 has switched from a first state to a second state multiple times within a third predetermined time, and the top tape transport motor 56 has started to drive multiple times within a third predetermined time.

[0140] According to this, if it is determined that there is a sign of an abnormality based on at least one of the following: the sensor 54 has switched from the first state to the second state multiple times within the third predetermined time, and the top tape transport motor 56 has started to drive multiple times within the third predetermined time, a maintenance instruction for the top tape transport roller 60 (top tape transport roller 62) can be displayed, thereby preventing the parts supply device 12 from malfunctioning.

[0141] Furthermore, the parts supply device 12 according to the embodiment is a parts supply device that transports a tape member 3 having a carrier tape 4 for storing parts 1 and a top tape 5 attached to the carrier tape 4 so as to cover the parts 1 stored in the carrier tape 4, and supplies parts 1 by peeling the top tape 5 from the carrier tape 4, and includes a carrier tape transport motor 42 that is driven to transport the carrier tape 4, a sensor 54 that enters a first state or a second state depending on the tension of the top tape 5 peeled from the carrier tape 4, a top tape transport motor 56 that does not drive when the sensor 54 is in the first state and drives to transport the top tape 5 when the sensor 54 is in the second state, a determination unit 74 that determines whether there is a sign of abnormality in the parts supply device 12 based on first information indicating whether the carrier tape transport motor 42 is being driven, second information indicating whether the sensor 54 is in the first state or the second state and third information indicating whether the top tape transport motor 56 is being driven, and an output unit 76 that outputs a warning signal indicating an abnormality when the determination unit 74 determines that there is a sign of abnormality.

[0142] According to this, it will produce the same effects as the component mounting system 10 described above.

[0143] Furthermore, the determination method according to the embodiment is a determination method in a parts supply device 12 that transports a tape member 3 having a carrier tape 4 for storing parts 1 and a top tape 5 attached to the carrier tape 4 so as to cover the parts 1 stored in the carrier tape 4, and supplies the parts 1 by peeling the top tape 5 from the carrier tape 4, wherein the parts supply device 12 includes a carrier tape transport motor 42 that is driven to transport the carrier tape 4, a sensor 54 that enters a first state or a second state depending on the tension of the top tape 5 peeled off from the carrier tape 4, and when the sensor 54 is in the first state, it does not drive, and the sensor 5 The component supply device includes a top tape transport motor 56 that is driven to transport the top tape 5 when 4 is in the second state, and includes a determination step (steps S17, S19, S20, S21) that determines whether there is a sign of abnormality in the component supply device 12 based on first information indicating whether the carrier tape transport motor 42 is being driven, second information indicating whether the sensor 54 is in the first or second state, and third information indicating whether the top tape transport motor 56 is being driven, and an output step (step S18) that outputs a warning signal indicating an abnormality if the determination step determines that there is a sign of abnormality.

[0144] According to this, it will produce the same effects as the component mounting system 10 described above.
