Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A power supply control device that controls consumption currents that are supplied from power supply devices in a component supply device in which multiple tape feeders are replaceably installed, the device including: a total consumption current measuring section that obtains, based on measurement, a total consumption current by adding actual consumption currents which are supplied to a plurality of tape feeders; and an overcurrent protection section that causes a specific tape feeder, which is in an operation state, to transition to a stop state or a standby state, in a case of an overcurrent state where the total consumption current exceeds an output current capacity of the power supply device. Accordingly, even though the overcurrent state occurs during setup changing work in which the multiple tape feeders can operate, the overcurrent state is rapidly canceled, and thus a protecting function is improved.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A power supply control method of a component supply device, the component supply device including a plurality of tape feeders each including a driving device which supplies a taped electronic component to a predetermined position and including a control device that controls the driving device, the power supply control method controlling a consumption current that is supplied from a power supply device to the installed tape feeders, the power supply control method comprising: acquiring a stored value of an operation state consumption current and a standby state operation current for each of the plurality of tape feeders a determining a total consumption current by adding each of the operation state consumption currents of the plurality of tape feeders installed in the component supply device; and controlling a specific tape feeder of the plurality of tape feeders, which is in an operation state where the driving device operates, to transition to a stop state where the specific tape feeder is shut off from the power supply device or to a standby state where the operation of the driving device is stopped, when the total consumption current exceeds an output current capacity of the power supply device. 2. A power supply control device of a component supply device, the component supply device including a plurality of tape feeders each including a driving device which supplies a taped electronic component to a predetermined position and including a control device that controls the driving device, the power supply control device controlling a consumption current that is supplied from a power supply device to the installed tape feeders, the power supply control device comprising: a processor configured to acquire a stored value of an operation state consumption current and a standby state operation current for each of the plurality of tape feeders; determine a total consumption current by adding each of the operation state consumption currents of the plurality of tape feeders installed in the component supply device; and control a first tape feeder of the plurality of tape feeders, which is in an operation state where the driving device operates, to transition to a stop state where the first tape feeder is shut off from the power supply device or to a standby state where the operation of the driving device is stopped, when the total consumption current exceeds an output current capacity of the power supply device. 3. The power supply control device of a component supply device according to claim 2 , wherein the operation state consumption current includes at least one of a first operation state consumption current that is supplied when the respective plurality of tape feeders transition from the stop state to the operation state and a second operation state consumption current that is supplied when the respective plurality of tape feeders transition from the standby state to the operation state, the processor is configured to calculate a surplus current by subtracting the total consumption current from the output current capacity, and the processor is configured to control a second tape feeder of the plurality of tape feeders that is in the stop state or the standby state to: transition to the operation state when the first operation state consumption current or the second operation state consumption current of the second tape feeder is equal to or lower than the surplus current, and maintain the stop state or the standby state of the second tape feeder when the first operation state consumption current or the second operation state consumption current of the tape feeder exceeds the surplus current. 4. The power supply control device of a component supply device according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to measure individual actual consumption currents that are supplied to the plurality of tape feeders and to determine the total consumption current by adding the individual actual consumption currents. 5. The power supply control device of a component supply device according to claim 2 , wherein the processor determines the total consumption current by directly measuring an output from the power supply device. 6. The power supply control device of a component supply device according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to measure individual actual consumption currents that are supplied to the plurality of tape feeders and to determine the total consumption current by adding the individual actual consumption currents, and the processor causes the first tape feeder of the plurality of tape feeders which are in the operation state to transition to the stop state or the standby state in a case of the overcurrent state. 7. The power supply control device of a component supply device according to claim 2 , wherein the power supply device and the first tape feeder are connected to each other with a power supply line through which the consumption current is supplied and on which a power switch that shuts off the consumption current is interposed, and wherein the processor controls the first tape feeder such that the first tape feeder is in the stop state or the operation state through opening and closing control of the power switch. 8. The power supply control device of a component supply device according to claim 2 , wherein the processor and the first tape feeder are connected to each other with a control line through which an instruction is transmitted, and the processor controls the first tape feeder such that the first tape feeder is in the standby state and the operation state by issuing an instruction of allowing and prohibiting the operation of the driving device to the control device through the control line. 9. The power supply control device of a component supply device according to claim 2 , wherein the power supply device and the first tape feeder are connected to each other with a drive power supply line, through which a drive current is supplied to be consumed by the driving device and on which a drive power switch that shuts off the drive current is interposed, and a control power supply line, through which a control current is supplied to be consumed by the control device, and the processor controls the first tape feeder such that the first tape feeder is in the standby state and or the operation state through opening and closing control of the drive power switch. 10. The power supply control device of a component supply device according to claim 1 , wherein the first tape feeder has a feeding motor that unwinds a carrier tape, in which the electronic component is taped, from a supply reel, and the operation of the driving device includes an unloading operation of discharging the carrier tape from the first tape feeder by reversely driving the feeding motor. 11. The power supply control device of a component supply device according to claim 2 , wherein the power supply device is an internal-operating power supply device in an electronic component mounting machine in a case where the component supply device is mounted on the electronic component mounting machine, and the power supply device is an external-setup-changing power supply device in a case where the component supply device is detached from the electronic component mounting machine.
