Component Mounting Apparatus Transparent Receiving Unit Light Reflection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing component mounting apparatuses that compress components to a transparent substrate with photocurable resin in between face a reduction in receiving unit strength due to the need for a notch to accommodate the light irradiation unit, leading to insufficient pressing force and potential mounting defects.
Innovation Solution
The apparatus includes a receiving unit with a transparent member and a light reflecting portion that reflects light from the light irradiation unit towards the photocurable resin, allowing the light irradiation unit to be external to the receiving unit, thus preventing strength reduction and enabling effective pressing without compromising the receiving unit's integrity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the light irradiation unit is disposed at a position below the pressing unit with a notch formed on the receiving unit, then the photocurable resin can be cured by light irradiation, but the strength of the receiving unit is reduced and pressing force is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The light irradiation unit is repositioned from a vertical arrangement (below the pressing unit) to a horizontal arrangement (adjacent to the transparent member). Light is directed horizontally through the transparent member rather than vertically through a notch, changing the dimensional approach to resolve the contradiction between curing effectiveness and structural strength.
Solution Approach 2:
The light irradiation unit is extracted from the receiving unit structure, eliminating the need for a notch in the base member. The light irradiation function is separated from the support function, allowing the receiving unit to maintain its full structural integrity while still enabling photocurable resin curing.
2Reliability
If the light irradiation unit is disposed at a position below the pressing unit, then light can reach the photocurable resin through the transparent member, but the pressing force is limited due to reduced strength
Solution Approach 1:
The light irradiation path is changed from vertical (through the notch) to horizontal (through the transparent member). This dimensional change allows the pressing unit to apply full vertical force without compromising the structural integrity needed to support the light irradiation system.
Solution Approach 2:
By extracting the light irradiation unit from the receiving unit, the full pressing force can be applied through the pressing unit without being limited by the weakened structure of the receiving unit with a notch.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a notch is formed on the base member to install the light irradiation unit, then the light irradiation unit can be integrated, but the strength of the receiving unit is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The light irradiation unit is extracted from the receiving unit, eliminating the need for a notch. The receiving unit maintains its full strength while the light irradiation function is provided by a separate unit positioned adjacent to the transparent member.
Solution Approach 2:
The light irradiation unit is repositioned from a vertical integration (requiring a notch) to a horizontal arrangement (adjacent to the transparent member), eliminating the need for structural modification of the receiving unit while maintaining functional integration.

AI summary
A component mounting apparatus that compresses a component to a transparent substrate on which the component is placed with a photocurable resin interposed therebetween. The component mounting apparatus includes: a receiving unit that includes a base member and a transparent member provided on an upper surface of the base member and receives a surface of the substrate, which is positioned below the component, on an upper surface of the transparent member; a pressing unit that presses the component against the substrate received by the receiving unit; and a light irradiation unit that irradiates the photocurable resin with light through the transparent member.
