Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There are provided a wind-up drum that is easily detached in a state in which a wound tape is fastened, a tape feeder including the wind-up drum, and a component mounting machine capable of mounting the tape feeder. A wind-up drum includes a tape holding member including an insertion hole for inserting a support shaft of a rotating device and configured to hold a wound tape, and a wound member attached to the tape holding member, configured to wind up the tape by rotating the support shaft by the rotating device in a state in which the support shaft is mounted, and including a rotating member that rotates in contact with the support shaft when the wound member is detached from the support shaft in a state in which the tape is wound.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A wind-up drum comprising: a tape holding member including an insertion hole for inserting a support shaft of a rotating device and configured to hold a wound tape; and a wound member attached to the tape holding member, configured to wind up the tape by rotating the support shaft by the rotating device in a state in which the support shaft is mounted, and including a rotating member that rotates in contact with the support shaft when the wound member is detached from the support shaft in a state in which the tape is wound. 2. The wind-up drum according to claim 1 , wherein the wound member is configured to move in a radial direction that is a direction toward a rotational center of the tape holding member, and moves to an inner side in the radial direction by an external force applied from the tape in accordance with a rotational position of the rotating member. 3. The wind-up drum according to claim 2 , wherein multiple wound members are disposed at predetermined intervals in a circumferential direction that is a direction in which the tape is wound. 4. The wind-up drum according to claim 1 , wherein the rotating member includes a curved surface that comes into contact with the support shaft, and a flat surface that is formed by being connected to the curved surface and disposed apart from the support shaft in a state in which the curved surface is brought into contact with the support shaft, rotates while bringing the curved surface into contact with the support shaft when the wound member is detached from the support shaft, and directs the flat surface toward the support shaft. 5. A tape feeder comprising: the support shaft on which the wind-up drum according to claim 1 is mounted; and the rotating device including a pedestal member that supports the support shaft. 6. The tape feeder according to claim 5 , wherein the pedestal member comes into contact with the rotating member when the wind-up drum is mounted on the support shaft to rotate the rotating member to a predetermined mounting position. 7. The tape feeder according to claim 5 , wherein multiple wound members are provided in a circumferential direction that is a direction in which the tape is wound, and the support shaft is a prism having an outer circumferential surface that comes into contact in a plane with the rotating member provided on each of the multiple wound members. 8. The tape feeder according to claim 5 , wherein the rotating device includes a metal plate, and the wind-up drum includes a magnet that generates a magnetic attraction force with the metal plate when the wind-up drum is mounted on the support shaft to maintain a rotational position of the wind-up drum with respect to the support shaft. 9. A component mounting machine comprising: a feeder mounting device configured to attach and detach the tape feeder according to claim 5 ; and a mounting head, wherein the tape is a component supply tape that accommodates electronic components at predetermined pitches, and the mounting head mounts the electronic components supplied from the tape feeder.
