Abstract

A carrier tape holding device is installed in a component supply unit that supplies a component by drawing a carrier tape storing the component from a tape roll body formed by winding the carrier tape in a roll shape. The carrier tape holding device includes a storage portion that stores the tape roll body. The storage portion holds the tape roll body in a state where the component supply unit is able to draw the carrier tape from the tape roll body, and is capable of receiving a tape roll body for replenishment moved from a holder storing the tape roll body for replenishment in a state where the holder is detachably attached.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A carrier tape holding device installed in a component supply unit that supplies a component by drawing a carrier tape storing the component from a tape roll body formed by winding the carrier tape in a roll shape, the carrier tape holding device comprising:
a storage portion where a storage space for storing the tape roll body is provided and one portion of the storage space is opened; and
a holder mounting portion to which a holder is detachably mounted, the holder holding a tape roll body for replenishment to be used next to the tape roll body,
wherein the storage portion is configured to store the tape roll body in a state where the component supply unit is able to draw the carrier tape from the tape roll body, and receive, into the storage space from the one portion, the tape roll body for replenishment moving out of the holder mounted on the holder mounting portion.

2. The carrier tape holding device according to claim 1 , wherein the storage portion includes the holder mounting portion.

3. The carrier tape holding device according to claim 1 , wherein
the holder has a case shape and includes a replenishment storage space and an opening, the replenishment storage space being for storing the tape roll body for replenishment, the opening being for taking in and out the tape roll body for replenishment to and from the replenishment storage space, and
the replenishment storage space communicates with the storage space of the storage portion through the opening in a state where the holder is mounted on the holder mounting portion.

4. The carrier tape holding device according to claim 3 , wherein
the storage portion includes
a bottom portion that supports the tape roll body from below, and
a pair of side wall portions rising from both sides of the bottom portion,

the bottom portion and the pair of side wall portions form the storage space, and
the holder mounting portion is provided on the pair of walls.

5. The carrier tape holding device according to claim 1 , wherein the tape roll body for replenishment rotates when the carrier tape of the tape roll body for replenishment is pulled out by the component supply unit in a state where the holder is mounted on the holder mounting portion, and rolls in the holder to move to the storage portion.

6. The carrier tape holding device according to claim 1 , wherein the storage portion includes a stopper portion that prevents the tape roll body stored in the storage space from coming out of the storage space when the carrier tape is pulled out by the component supply unit.

7. A holder for supplying a tape roll body for replenishment to a carrier tape holding device installed in a component supply unit that supplies a component by drawing a carrier tape storing the component from a tape roll body formed by winding the carrier tape in a roll shape, and including a storage portion for storing the tape roll body, the holder comprising:
a holding portion includes a replenishment storage space and an opening, the replenishment storage space being for storing the tape roll body for replenishment, the opening being for taking in and out the tape roll body for replenishment to and from the replenishment storage space; and
a mounting portion that is mounted on a holder mounting portion of the carrier tape holding device in a state where the opening faces the storage portion of the carrier tape holding device.

8. The holder according to claim 7 , wherein the holding portion has a case shape having the opening.

9. The holder according to claim 7 further comprising an information carrier attachment region to which an information carrier is attached, the information carrier holding information on a component sealed in a carrier tape included in the tape roll body for replenishment stored or information for accessing the information.

10. The holder according to claim 7 further comprising an attachment portion temporarily attached to the component supply unit or a holder attaching member mounted on the component supply unit.

11. The holder according to claim 10 , wherein the attachment portion is attached to the component supply unit or the holder attaching member with the opening facing upward.

12. A carrier tape package body comprising:
a tape roll body for replenishment formed by winding a carrier tape storing a component in a roll shape;
the holder according to claim 7 ; and
a package member that packages the holder storing the tape roll body for replenishment.

13. The carrier tape package body according to claim 12 further comprising an information carrier holding information on the component sealed in the carrier tape included in the tape roll body for replenishment stored in the holder or information for accessing the information,
wherein the information carrier is attached to the holder or the package member.
