Description

Management device, implementation system, and management method

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a management device, an implementation system, and a management method.

[0002] A conventional management device of this type is proposed for use in a mounting device that mounts electronic components on a circuit board (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This management device classifies the appearance patterns of electronic components and stores them as pattern data. The management device then selects pattern data from the stored pattern data that corresponds to the type of electronic component to be mounted. This device then displays only the input items that correspond to the selected pattern data, rather than displaying all available input fields on the display. This simplifies input operations and reduces input errors, since only the input items corresponding to the type of electronic component to be mounted are displayed on the display.

[0003] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-196299

[0004] However, the above-mentioned documents do not disclose how to display input items to be entered in order to execute a mounting-related process in a management device used in a mounting system including a mounting line including at least one mounting-related device that executes a mounting-related process related to the process of mounting components on a processing target object. It is recognized that an important issue for such a management device is to appropriately display input items to reduce the burden on the worker.

[0005] The management device of the present disclosure has a primary purpose of reducing the burden on workers.

[0006] The management device, implementation system, and management method disclosed herein employ the following means to achieve the above-mentioned main object.

[0007] The management device of the present disclosure is a management device used in a mounting system having a mounting line including at least one mounting-related device that executes mounting-related processing related to the processing of mounting components on a processing target, and comprises: a memory unit that stores device information of the mounting-related device and at least one input item that should be input to have the mounting-related device execute the mounting-related processing, in association with each other; an information acquisition unit that acquires the device information of at least one mounting-related device included in the mounting line; an item extraction unit that extracts from the memory unit at least one input item that corresponds to the acquired device information; and a display control unit that controls the display unit that displays information so as to display the input item extracted from the memory unit and not display the input item that has not been extracted from the memory unit.

[0008] The management device disclosed herein acquires device information for at least one mounting-related device included in a mounting line. The management device then extracts at least one input item corresponding to the acquired device information from a storage unit. Furthermore, the management device controls a display unit that displays information so as to display the input items extracted from the storage unit and not display input items not extracted from the storage unit. By inputting only the input items displayed on the display unit, a worker can cause the mounting-related device included in the mounting line to execute mounting-related processing. As a result, the management device can reduce the burden on the worker. Examples of processing objects include circuit boards and three-dimensional structural components.

The inspection unit of the print inspection device 14 is a unit that inspects whether the print state is appropriate based on an image captured by an imaging unit of the substrate S on which the viscous fluid has been printed. This print inspection device 14 has a similar configuration to the mounting inspection device 16 described below, and detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0013] The mounting device 15 is a device that executes a mounting process to mount components P on a substrate S. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the mounting device 15 includes a mounting control unit 30, a transport unit 35, a supply unit 36, a component imaging unit 37, a mounting unit 38, a mark imaging unit 42, and a communication unit 43.

The mounting control unit 30 exchanges information with and controls the transport unit 35, supply unit 36, component imaging unit 37, collection unit 40, mark imaging unit 42, and communication unit 43. The transport unit 35 is a unit that transports and fixes the substrate S. The supply unit 36 ​​is a unit that supplies components P to the mounting unit 38. The supply unit 36 ​​includes, for example, a feeder equipped with a tape holding the components P and a tray on which the components P are arranged. The component imaging unit 37, whose imaging range is the upper side, is a unit that images one or more components P picked up by the picking unit 40. The mounting unit 38 is a mounting unit that picks up components P from the supply unit 36 ​​and places them on a board S fixed to the transport unit 35. The mounting unit 38 includes a head moving unit 39, a picking unit 40, a suction nozzle 41, and a mark imaging unit 42. The head moving unit 39 includes a slider that moves in the X and Y directions along a guide rail and a motor that drives the slider. The picking unit 40 is a mounting head that is removably attached to the slider and is moved in the X and Y directions by the head moving unit 39. One or more suction nozzles 41 are removably attached to the underside of the picking unit 40. The suction nozzles 41 use negative pressure to pick up components P and place them on the board S. Note that, in addition to the suction nozzles 41, components P may also be picked up by a mechanical chuck that mechanically holds the components P. The mark imaging unit 42 has an imaging range below it and is a unit that images, for example, marks formed on the substrate S. The mark imaging unit 42 is disposed on the underside of the collection unit 40 and moves in the X and Y directions as the collection unit 40 moves. The mark imaging unit 42 can also image the component collection position of the supply unit 36. The communication unit 43 receives and transmits information to and from other devices via the network 12.As such mounting devices 15, different models may be used for each mounting line 11, or the same model may have different types, such as an occupied area or types of mountable units. In the mounting devices 15, the input items that the operator must enter to have the mounting device 15 execute the mounting process are standardized for each model. In the embodiment, four models, M1 to M4, may be used as the mounting devices 15, but, for example, three or fewer models or five or more models may also be used.

[0014] The mounting inspection device 16 is a device that inspects the mounting state of components P that have been mounted. The mounting inspection device 16 includes an inspection control unit 25, a transport unit 26, an inspection unit 27, and a communication unit 28.

The communication unit 28 receives and transmits information to and from other devices via the network 12.

[0015] The reflow device, not shown, is a device that performs reflow processing on a board S. The reflow device heats the board S, on which components P are placed, to melt the solder, and then cools it to electrically connect and fix each component P to the board S. The reflow inspection device is a device that inspects the board S after reflow. The reflow inspection device detects the conductivity of the reflowed board and inspects whether it is suitable for use as a final product. The board transport device transports boards from an upstream device to a downstream device on the production line, and is equipped with a transport conveyor.

[0016] The management PC 50 is configured as a management device operated by an operator and is a computer that manages information related to mounting. The management PC 50 includes a management control unit 51, a communication unit 56, a display unit 57, an input unit 58, and the like. The management control unit 51 is configured as a microprocessor centered on a CPU 52 and includes a memory unit 53 that stores various data. The management control unit 51 exchanges information with and controls the communication unit 56, the display unit 57, and the input unit 58. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 , the memory unit 53 stores item correspondence information 54a, mounting line information 54b, mounting condition information (not shown), and the like. The item correspondence information 54a is a database that associates input item information with the model of the mounting device 15 as device information for the mounting device 15. The input item information is information about input items that an operator must input to have the mounting device 15 execute a mounting process, including the transportation of the board S by the transport unit 35, the supply of components P by the supply unit 36, the imaging of the components P by the component imaging unit 37, and the collection, movement, and placement of the components P by the collection unit 40, for all models M1 to M4 that can be used as the mounting device 15. The input item information includes the type of input item, the input item, and, when the input item is determined by selection from multiple options, the selectable options and default values. In the item correspondence information 54a, for ease of explanation, the input items are denoted as "I1" and the like. However, the input items may also be described as character strings indicating the content to be entered, for example, input item I1 may be described as "image type." Furthermore, in the item correspondence information 54a, a "-" next to a selection item indicates that the item requires the input of a single value or character string, rather than a selection from multiple options. The mounting line information 54b is a database in which the line number assigned to each mounting line 11 is associated with the model, type, and number of mounting devices 15 included in the mounting line 11. The mounting condition information includes job information such as which component is to be placed at which position on which mounting device of which mounting line 11. The communication unit 56 outputs and acquires information from other devices via the network 12. The display unit 57 is a liquid crystal display that displays a screen. The input unit 58 is a device for inputting instructions from the worker, such as a mouse or keyboard.Management PC 50 exchanges information with each device on mounting line 11 connected to network 12. For example, management PC 50 acquires, via communication unit 56, the consumption status of solder from printing device 13, the consumption status of components stored in feeders from mounting device 15, and inspection results from each inspection device. Management PC 50 also receives error information from each device.

[0017] Next, the operation of the mounting system 10 of this embodiment configured as described above will be described, particularly the process of displaying on the display unit 57 of the management PC 50 input items that the operator must enter to have the mounting device 15 execute the mounting process. FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a display process routine executed by the management control unit 51 of the management PC 50. This routine is executed, for example, when the operator sets mounting condition information. When this routine is executed, the CPU 52 of the management control unit 51 obtains the model of the mounting device 15 included in each mounting line 11 from the mounting line information 54b stored in the storage unit 53 (S100). In this embodiment, the CPU 52 of the management control unit 51 obtains models M1, M2, and M3 from the mounting line information 54b illustrated in FIG. 4 as the model of the mounting device 15 included in each mounting line 11.

[0018] Next, the CPU 52 of the management control unit 51 executes an item extraction process to extract input items corresponding to the model acquired in S100 from the item correspondence information 54a stored in the storage unit 53. In the item extraction process, the CPU 52 of the management control unit 51 determines whether the model acquired in S100 is included in the models compatible with input item n from the item correspondence information 54a stored in the storage unit 53 (S110). In this embodiment, "n" is one of I1 to I18. If the model acquired in S100 is included in the models compatible with input item n, the CPU 52 of the management control unit 51 sets the input item n as an extracted item (S120). If the model acquired in S100 is not included in the models compatible with input item n, the CPU 52 of the management control unit 51 sets the input item n as a non-extracted item (S130). After setting the input item n as an extracted item or a non-extracted item, the CPU 52 of the management control unit 51 determines whether the setting of extracted items or non-extracted items has been completed for all input items n included in the item correspondence information 54a (S140). If the setting of extracted items or non-extracted items has not been completed for all input items I1 to I18 included in the item correspondence information 54a stored in the storage unit 53, the CPU 52 of the management control unit 51 returns to S110 and repeats S110 to S140 until the setting of extracted items or non-extracted items has been completed for all input items I1 to I18. Then, when the setting of extracted items or non-extracted items for all input items I1 to I18 has been completed, the CPU 52 of the management control unit 51 controls the display unit 57 to display the extracted items on the input screen SCin and not display the non-extracted items on the input screen SCin (S150), and ends this routine.

[0019] 6 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the input screen SCin displayed on the display unit 57. In the figure, the input screen SCm1 includes input items I1 to I11, an input field Fin1 for each I17, and the like, which must be entered in order to have the mounting device 15 of model M1 execute the mounting process. The input screen SCm2 includes input items I1 to I9, an input field Fin2 for each I11, and the like, which must be entered in order to have the mounting device 15 of model M2 execute the mounting process. The input screen SCm3 includes input items I1 to I9, an input field Fin3 for each I15, and the like, which must be entered in order to have the mounting device 15 of model M3 execute the mounting process. The CPU 52 of the management control unit 51 extracts, from the item correspondence information 54a illustrated in Fig. 3, input items for which models M1 to M3 are included as compatible models, i.e., input items I1 to I11, I15, and I17 displayed on at least one of the input screens SCm1 to SCm3, and displays an input screen SCin on the display unit 57, which has an input field Fin for each of the input items I1 to I11, I15, and I17. If all of the input items I1 to I18 in the item correspondence information 54a of Fig. 3 were displayed on the display unit 57, the operator would have to search for the input items used by models M1 to M3 from among all of the input items I1 to I18 and enter setting values ​​into the searched input items. This would place a heavy burden on the operator. In this embodiment, the operator can cause the mounting device 15 included in the mounting line 11 to execute the mounting process by inputting setting values ​​only into the input fields of the input screen SCin displayed on the display unit 57 without having to search for input items used for models M1 to M3 from all input items I1 to I18. This reduces the burden on the operator using the management PC 50. Furthermore, the input screen SCin is configured so that the input fields Fin for input items for which selection options are set in the item correspondence information 54a illustrated in FIG. 3, i.e., input items I2, I3, I5, I8, I10, and I11, allow selection options to be selected using a pull-down menu. This reduces the operator's input burden using the management PC 50. Furthermore, the input screen SCin displays the default values ​​in the item correspondence information 54a illustrated in FIG. 3 in the input fields Fin. The operator need only input setting values ​​into the input fields Fin for input items to be changed from the default values.Therefore, the management PC 50 can further reduce the input burden on the operator.

[0020] Once the setting of the mounting condition information, including input of the input items I1 to I11, I15, and I17 via the input screen SCin by the operator, is completed, the CPU 31 of the mounting control unit 30 of the mounting device 15 executes the mounting process based on the input of a mounting start instruction from the operator or the like. In the mounting process, the CPU 31 of the mounting control unit 30 acquires the mounting condition information from the management PC 50 and causes the transport unit 35 to transport and fix the board S. Next, the CPU 31 of the mounting control unit 30 sets the components P to be placed on the board S based on the placement order in the mounting condition information. Then, the CPU 31 of the mounting control unit 30 causes the mounting unit 38 to perform a collection process for the set components P. Next, the CPU 31 of the mounting control unit 30 causes the head moving unit 39 to perform a process of moving the components P and causes the component imaging unit 37 to perform an image capture process for the components P. Then, the CPU 31 of the mounting control unit 30 places the components P on the board S. The CPU 31 of the mounting control unit 30 repeats the process of setting, picking up, photographing, and placing the components P to be picked up on the board S until the mounting process of all the components P on the board S is completed. When the CPU 31 of the mounting control unit 30 completes the mounting process of all the components P on the board S, it causes the transport unit 35 to eject the board S, thereby completing production.

[0021] Here, the correspondence between the components of this embodiment and the components of the present disclosure will be clarified. The mounting device 15 of this embodiment is an example of a mounting-related device of the present disclosure, the mounting line 11 is an example of a mounting line, the mounting system 10 is an example of a mounting system, the management PC 50 is an example of a management device, the memory unit 53 is an example of a memory unit, the management control unit 51 is an example of an item extraction unit, and the management control unit 52 is an example of a display control unit. Note that in this embodiment, an example of a mounting system and management method of the present disclosure will also be clarified by explaining the operation of the management PC 50.

[0022] According to the mounting system 10 of this embodiment described above, the management PC 50 acquires the model of the mounting device 15 included in the mounting line 11 as device information, extracts input items corresponding to the acquired device information from the memory unit 53, and controls the display unit 57 that displays information so that the input items extracted from the memory unit 53 are displayed while the input items not extracted from the memory unit 53 are not displayed, thereby reducing the burden on the worker.

[0023] Furthermore, by setting the device information to the model of the mounting device 15, the burden on the worker can be reduced.

[0024] Furthermore, the mounting device 15 has a transport unit 35 that transports the board S, a supply unit 36 ​​that supplies components P, a component imaging unit 37 that images the components P, and a collection unit 40 that collects, moves, and arranges the components P. By making the input items the items that need to be input in order to carry out the transport of the board S by the transport unit 35, the supply of the components P by the supply unit 36, the imaging of the components P by the component imaging unit 37, and the collection, movement, and arrangement of the components P by the collection unit 40, the management PC 50 can display more appropriate input items.

[0025] In the above embodiment, the CPU 52 of the management control unit 51 acquires the model as the device information of the mounting devices 15 included in the mounting line 11, but it may also acquire information on units such as the transport unit 35, supply unit 36, component imaging unit 37, and collection unit 40 mounted on the mounting devices 15 as the device information of the mounting devices 15 included in the mounting line 11. In this way, the CPU 52 of the management control unit 51 can display on the display unit 57 only the input items corresponding to the units mounted on the mounting devices 15 included in the mounting line 11. This reduces the burden on the worker.

[0026] In the above embodiment, the process of displaying on the display unit 57 of the management PC 50 input items that the worker must enter to have the mounting device 15 execute the mounting process has been described. However, the same applies to the printing device 13, the print inspection device 14, the mounting inspection device 16, the reflow device and reflow inspection device (not shown), the board transport device, etc. Note that the mounting line 11 may not include one or more of the above-mentioned devices. This may also be applied to the process of displaying on the display unit 57 of the management PC 50 input items that the worker must enter to have all the devices included in the mounting line 11 execute the mounting-related process. In this way, the management PC 50 can display only input items corresponding to the device information of all the devices included in the mounting line 11, thereby reducing the burden on the worker.

[0027] In the above-described embodiment, the mounting system 10 is described as including the mounting line 11 and the management PC 50, but it may also be configured as including only the management PC 50.

[0028] In the above-described embodiment, the input screen SCin is displayed on the display unit 57 of the management PC 50. However, it may be displayed on a display unit of a device other than the management PC 50.

Then, the management method extracts at least one input item corresponding to the acquired device information from a storage unit. Furthermore, the management method controls a display unit that displays information so as to display the input items extracted from the storage unit and not display input items not extracted from the storage unit. By inputting only the input items displayed on the display unit, a worker can cause the mounting-related device included in the mounting line to execute a mounting-related process. As a result, the management method reduces the burden on the worker. Here, examples of the processing object include a circuit board and a three-dimensional structure.
