Abstract

A component supply device supplies a component accommodated in a carrier tape including a base tape and a cover tape pasted on the base tape and having a length to a forward end thereof that is longer than that of the base tape. The component supply device includes a tape conveying part, a turning over correcting part, and a peeling part. The tape conveying part conveys the carrier tape along a conveyance path. The turning over correcting part moves the forward end of the cover tape folded to a side opposite to a side of a conveyance direction, to a position located ahead of a forward end of the base tape in the conveyance direction in the conveyance path. The peeling part captures the forward end of the cover tape, and peels off the cover tape from the base tape.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A component supply device that supplies a component accommodated in a carrier tape comprising a base tape and a cover tape pasted on the base tape and having a length to a forward end thereof that is longer than that of the base tape, the component supply device comprising:
a tape conveying part that conveys the carrier tape along a conveyance path;
a turning over correcting part that moves the forward end of the cover tape folded to a side opposite to a side of a conveyance direction, to a position located ahead of a forward end of the base tape in the conveyance direction in the conveyance path; and
a peeling part that captures the forward end of the cover tape, the peeling part peeling off the cover tape from the base tape.

2. The component supply device according to claim 1 , wherein
the turning over correcting part moves the forward end of the cover tape folded to the side opposite to the side of the conveyance direction, to a position located ahead of the forward end of the base tape in the conveyance direction by relative moving of the base tape and the forward end of the cover tape.

3. The component supply device according to claim 2 , wherein
the turning over correcting part comprises
a conveyance control part that controls the tape conveying part to convey the carrier tape by a predetermined distance in a backward direction of the conveyance direction.

4. The component supply device according to claim 3 ,
wherein
the component supply device comprises
a tape detecting part that detects the carrier tape conveyed along the conveyance path, and wherein
the conveyance control part controls the tape conveying part, based on a result of detection by the tape detecting part, to convey the carrier tape by a predetermined distance in the backward direction of the conveyance direction.

5. The component supply device according to claim 1 , wherein
the component supply device comprises
an air nozzle that guides the forward end of the cover tape to the peeling part.

6. The component supply device according to claim 1 , wherein
the turning over correcting part comprises
a contact portion to which the forward end of the cover tape abuts when the carrier tape is conveyed in a backward direction of the conveyance direction.

7. The component supply device according to claim 6 , wherein
the turning over correcting part comprises
a conveyance control part that controls the tape conveying part to convey the carrier tape by a predetermined distance in the backward direction of the conveyance direction.

8. The component supply device according to claim 6 , wherein
the contact portion is an inner edge of an opening that is disposed in the conveyance path.

9. The component supply device according to claim 4 , wherein
the turning over correcting part comprises
a conveyance control part that controls the tape conveying part to convey the carrier tape by a predetermined distance in the backward direction of the conveyance direction.

10. The component supply device according to claim 8 , wherein
the conveyance path communicates with the peeling part through the opening.

11. The component supply device according to claim 10 , wherein
the turning over correcting part comprises
a conveyance control part that controls the tape conveying part to convey the carrier tape by a predetermined distance in the backward direction of the conveyance direction.
